Yun Yao also squeezed over to look, and the two of them lay on the drawings to compare.

After looking at it for a while, Yun Yao figured it out: "When the Great Zhou was first built, the population was really small. ”

Qi Jing nodded, pointed to the drawing and said: "Look, this is Ping'an Fang, you must know how many people live in Ping'an Fang every day, and you can look at how many families there were earlier." ”

Yun Yao smiled: "No wonder Taizu built the palace so small when he was a young man, and he didn't expect the population of the Great Zhou Dynasty to grow so fast, and there were so many more people in Chang'an City in a few years." ”

Qi Jing sighed: "Your Majesty has a problem for me!" If you look at this drawing, where is there still a place to build a few larger gardens? Not to mention the expansion of the palace. ”

"Don't worry, let's take a closer look." Yun Yao laughed and looked at the drawings more carefully and seriously.

Qi Jing looked at it in detail, and after looking at it again, Yun Yao also sighed: "It's a place with no free space, if you build a high-rise building, several families may be able to move out of the vacant land if they live in one building, but you see, every family must have a house and a yard, and how much space it occupies." ”

Qi Jing looked at Yun Yao, then looked at the drawings, pointed to a piece of land and said, "Do you think it can be done here?" ”

Yun Yao looked over, Qi Jing pointed to the slum area in Nancheng, that place is really big, there are a lot of people, most of them live in poor families, many people live in houses at all, or build sheds or thatched houses, and the layout is extremely unreasonable, and the terrain is low, the sewer system is not good, as soon as it rains, it will be irrigated, which can be described as miserable.

Yun Yao thought about it and said, "If this place is integrated, then the entire southern city must be planned, and the cost is not old." ”

Qi Jing smiled: "I'm not afraid to spend money, the treasury can still dig out His Majesty's private treasury without silver." The left and right are all for his face, but the southern city is easy to rebuild, and the garden has a place, but it is not easy for the people around the imperial city to relocate. ”

Yun Yao patted his hand: "You build the southern city first and then talk about the expansion of the palace, anyway, it is the same if you can do the same, it is much better than doing nothing." ”

"Okay." Qi Jing agreed, and finally solved a confidant's matter. My heart is much lighter. pulled Yun Yao up to sleep.

The next day was the rest day, and Qi Jing got up a little late, waiting for him to go to the study after breakfast. I saw Qi Baobox sitting in the study reading, and when he saw Qi Jing coming in, Qi Baobox looked up and smiled and buried himself in reading.

Qi Jing said hello to her and took out the drawings to study again.

At this look, he was also fascinated. I don't even know when Qi Baobox put down the book and came over.

Qi Baobox stood behind Qi Jing and looked at it for a while, and suddenly spoke: "Are you thinking about the expansion of the palace?" ”

Qi Jing was suddenly startled and almost jumped up. Taking a deep breath, he turned his head and saw Qi Baobox's face sunk: "You belong to a cat, and you don't know how to make a sound when you walk." ”

Qi Baobox grimaced: "Don't you blame yourself for not seeing me when you entered the gods, ask you, are you thinking about the expansion of the palace?" ”

Qi Jing nodded helplessly: "Isn't it." How do you know? Listen to your sister-in-law? ”

Qi Baobox shook his head: "There are a lot of places marked on your drawings, and I'm not stupid, so obviously I can't see it." ”

Qi Jing looked down. He did draw a number of circles on the drawings, but he didn't write or write anything. How did you see the Qi Bao Box?

Qi Jing didn't understand it and didn't think much about it, and waved his hand: "You go to read the book, don't bother me." ”

"Cut." Qi Baobox sneered: "I'm bothering you? You don't even understand how I can see it, and you say I'm bothering you? If I don't bother you, you can't think of a good way to break it. ”

Yo, this little temper.

Qi Jing was very funny: "So, the eight girls of our family have a good way?" ”

Qi Baobox simply sat down and pointed to the terrain around the palace: "Naturally, there is, I'm not you, I'm smart." ”

When he spoke like this, Qi Baobox looked arrogant, which made Qi Jing's teeth itch.

"Tell me about it." Qi Jing didn't believe that Qi Baobox could come up with a good way at all, and this moment began to provoke her.

Qi Baobox looked disdainful: "I read the test questions of this year's palace exam, and it is really strange that Your Majesty is really strange, and it is difficult for you fools to come up with such a title." ”

Qi Jing felt that his heart was as uncomfortable as being stabbed, and then looked at Qi Baobox, the sneer and disdain on the little girl's face deepened, Qi Jing knew that don't look at the little girl usually looks very lively and cute, but when something happens, the little girl's mouth is also a little poisonous.

I heard Qi Baobox say again: "Let me guess how you Jinshi masters answer the questions, one, use tough means to force the people to relocate, two, use gentle means to beg the people to relocate, three, to lure them, most of them should be these three things, you, should also be lured by profit, however, you are different from others, you know the good face of the people of Chang'an very well, so you will build a garden and relocation together, must want to build a garden with a beautiful landscape, and then build a commercial area, It makes the surrounding extremely lively, and the price of the land will definitely rise, and when the time comes, the land around the garden and the people around the palace will be replaced, and then some silver taels should be subsidized, do you say no? ”

Qi Bao's box fell out in such a way, but it really made Qi Jing impressed: "Oh, I didn't expect my eighth sister to be a female middle school Zhuge , it's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go, amazing, amazing." ”

"Don't grin at me." Qi Baobox stretched out his finger and pointed at Qi Jing: "Otherwise, I'll say that you are stupid, or Master Jinshi, I have studied for so many years in vain, but I don't know how to work around at all, speaking of which, those officials in the court are also stupid, how many years have I not even been able to do this little thing, and I still take such a high amount of silver, I feel sorry for Your Majesty." ”

Belch?

Qi Jing felt that his heart had been stabbed again.

Qi Baobox ignored him and continued to speak venomously: "There are so many stupid people in this world, and they actually compare characters like me to be extraordinary." ”

"Huh." Qi Jing's heart has been pierced into a hole by his tongue and arrows, and there is only hehe left.

Qi Baobox looked at Qi Jing: "What are you?" ”

Qi Jing: "Hehe." ”

"Sure enough, people are stupid and can't even speak." Qi Baobox pursed his lips: "In vain, you read so many books, but you don't know the word coercion and temptation, or only coercion, or only inducement, but you don't know that the combination of the two can be done." ”

Qi Jing smiled: "Eighth sister will tell me, how to coerce and how to lure, why don't you still find that bastard to throw stones at people's homes, smash the door, and disturb people's lives?" ”

A word popped out of Qi Bao's box: "Stupid." ”

Qi Jing didn't even heh this time.

Qi Baobox pointed to the drawings and said, "Although I only entered Chang'an City last year, I also discovered one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Qi Jing asked.

Qi Baobox smiled: "Now the population of Chang'an City is increasing day by day, and the people are living a good life, Nancheng is a slum area, where the people can eat well, it is good, and they don't expect anything else, but other places are different, especially around the imperial city, most of the rich families live, even the commoners are also very rich in the family, in winter, the weather in Chang'an City is dry and cold, not to mention going out, the house will freeze if you don't burn charcoal, so every household can focus on charcoal, plus more charcoal in the palace, except for the underground fire dragon, There are also a lot of charcoal pots in the house, so that the densely populated places are full of smoke, and even the weather is bad. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Jing recalled the scene of Chang'an City last winter, and couldn't help nodding: "That's true, what does this have to do with the expansion of the palace?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Qi Baobox's face was full of coldness: "There are many articles to be done here." ”

When Qi Jing heard this, he immediately got up and gave Qi Baobox a deep salute: "Please also ask the eighth sister to teach." ”

Qi Jing is not such a pedantic person, nor does he feel that his daughter is necessarily inferior to a man, he always thinks that the master is a teacher, whether it is a man or a woman, no matter how old or young, as long as he knows how to learn more, he should seriously ask others for advice, so he will put down his body and ask his sister for advice.

Qi Baobox nodded with satisfaction: "It's about the same, for the sake of you not being too stupid, and for my brother's sake, I'll tell you about it." ”

Qi Jing sat down with a smile, and motioned for Qi Bao Box, who also sat down, to speak.

"Chang'an people have a good face, but no matter how good they are, the most important thing is life, I'm afraid that there are few people in this world who can investigate life and death, so you take the threat that the world values the most will not become a ......"

Qi Baobox said it with a smile, Qi Jing's eyes were even brighter, and when he finished speaking, he stroked his palms and laughed: "The eighth sister is really smart, good, this method is good, really good." ”

"You think it's done." Qi Baobox got up and found a few books and left, Qi Jing couldn't help but ponder when he saw her go out, he only found out today that the poor old eight who was a little bit of size had grown up, and he was so smart and clever, not to mention that the ordinary daughter's family, even seven or eight boys were afraid that they were not as good as her.

Qi Jing felt quite proud, and I was very happy that my sister was smart.

He smiled and pondered the idea given by Qi Baobox, the more he pondered it, the more he felt that the feasibility was extremely high, and when he thought of something again, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, this little girl, who is still playing with her brother, clearly has already had an idea, but she doesn't say it, she has to use the method to provoke herself to ask her for advice, it's really ......

wrote a rough plan, and the morning passed like this, Qi Jing got up and stretched his waist and went back to the room to call Shang Yunyao to eat together.

Entering the house, Qi Jing asked Yun Yao, "How many silver taels do we have in our house now?" ”

Yun Yao was quite surprised, and looked at Qi Jing: "What are you asking for?" The family has some money now, but it's just ...... You also know that several sisters are not old and young, and they have all set up family affairs, I am afraid that they will get married as soon as possible, especially the second sister, now that Xiao Gongzi has won the Jinshi, and in a few days I am afraid that I will get married after six ceremonies, how can I save this money for my sisters to do a dowry. ”

Qi Jing frowned: "Can you think of a way to squeeze out some of it first, and buy some land in Nancheng to keep it first." ”

"Nancheng?" Yun Yao was even more surprised: "That's a slum, how did you think of buying land there?" ”

Suddenly, Yun Yao thought about what she had discussed with Qi Jing last night, and her eyes widened for a while: "Are you really planning to build a garden there?" If that's the case, you'll have to buy some land. (To be continued.) )
