Chapter 575: Site Selection
"Born in sorrow, died in peace!" These words shocked the drama of Xuefu Wuche.
When Xi Zhicai kept repeating this sentence, Mu Jing had already begun to act.
Building a government is not a simple matter.
The Marquis of Ming is a first-class title, the opening of the palace with the three divisions, in power, but also controls the nine counties in Hanzhong, there are several county towns in Nanyang, adding up to the control of more than a dozen county seats, nearly a million people, in the Spring and Autumn Period, are not big and small princes and kings.
The first step is to choose an address.
Mu Jing wandered around the city for three or four days, walked almost a hundred miles, looked and looked, and finally found a place where he could build a mansion in the southeast less than ten miles to the north, on the north side of Hanshui.
This place is not very good, the key is that the place is big enough, the mountains and rivers in front of it, a large plain in the middle, you can play freely, and there is no problem in building a city.
The establishment of the Minghou Mansion here, one can build a mansion of a small scale, and it is convenient to garrison the army, although Mu Jing built a mansion outside the city, there are many considerations, but it does not mean that Mu Jing is not worried about the problem of safety.
Born in sorrow and dying in peace, that is spoken to others.
Built outside the city, on the one hand, it is to stabilize the heart of the Hanzhong family, and the Minghou Mansion outside the city will reassure many people, and there is also a lot of mustard, which is a good start, and on the other hand, that is, Mu Jing is not too relieved to live in Nanzheng City, he has no foundation in Hanzhong, once he encounters the rebellion of the people, he may not be able to suppress it by killing a few people.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Therefore, even if the Minghou Mansion is built on the outskirts, there must be heavy troops stationed around the Minghou Mansion to make Mujing feel safe.
"Uncle Ji!"
Mu Jing stood on the hill, looked down at the flat land in front of him, and said: "I will fall in love with this place, then you go to find someone, the site, and then gather the people, ready to start building the Minghou Mansion!" β
"Lord, are you sure you want to build it here?" Yi still couldn't understand why Mujing built a mansion outside the city.
"How can you change your hexagram with one word!"
Mu Jing smiled.
"I'll arrange it."
Yi is now the second secretary of Mu Jing, and his status is among the ministers under the command of the Ming Marquis, which is considered to be a rising tide, and the words he says are like the presence of the Ming Marquis in person, so he has acted a lot more decisively.
In one day, he found the most famous architect in the whole Han Dynasty.
The whole era, although it is not the era of all inferior grades only high reading, but it is also about the same, as we all know, reading into the office, is the channel to get ahead, and the others are all miscellaneous learning, side doors.
Of course, there is a demand for natural giving, ink is not in the stream, there are people to learn, craftsmen are not as good as businessmen, but the status is still above the businessmen, Shinong industry and commerce, thousands of years of standards also.
This master builder is named Yue Zhu, he is sixty years old, the age of Jiazi, in this era, it is already a rare longevity, in the era when the average age is only about thirty or forty years old, can be sixty years old, are people with excellent luck.
Yue Zhu walked to Mu Jing tremblingly with a cane, and bowed his head and saluted: "Little old man greets the prince, the prince is blessed!" β
"Old man, please get up!"
Mu Jing didn't say a word, he took the throne and personally helped up the old man in cloth, for the old man, he still respected, this Yue Zhu, it is rumored that he is still an apprentice of the Mo family, but the Mo family traces back, too long, but there is one point, his craftsmanship is known as the best in the whole Han, he has built no less than ten mansions, all of which are the mansions of the wealthy families in the Han Dynasty, and he has a good reputation: "Jing is not the age of the weak crown, and he can't afford the gift of the old man, which is to lose his life!" β
"The prince is honorable, and he naturally receives the gift of the little second child!" Yue Zhu was flattered, if he was an ordinary person, even if he was the head of the family, he would not be so frightened, after all, he could be regarded as having seen the world and been a guest of many people, but in front of him was the Ming Marquis, the Ming Marquis Mujing who made Nanzheng's blood flow into a river.
Now the son of the people of Nanzheng is red, who doesn't know that Lord Minghou, who is in power, is an out-and-out demon, and now the blood in Dongshikou has not been completely erased, and the tragic scene makes the people often not dare to sleep, and the people naturally have a fear of Mujing.
Mu Jing saw it, and immediately smiled bitterly, things have a good side, naturally there is a bad side, his execution at Dongshikou shocked countless hometown gentry in the city, the wealthy families in Hanzhong were subdued, but the people of Hanzhong also left a huge impression.
This can only change slowly.
"Old man, I invite you to come this time, in fact, I have something to ask for!" Mu Jing tried his best to make himself appear kind, and his tone was quite gentle: "The court conferred my title, which should have been returned to the feudal city, but now the court has ordered me to shepherd Hanzhong, so I have to build a mansion in Hanzhong!" β
"It turns out that the prince is here to build a mansion?"
Yue Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, he was invited early this morning, for fear that he would accidentally offend this Hades Night, his liver trembled, and he made it for a long time to build a mansion, this is his profession, he suddenly became confident: "I don't know where the adults are going to build a mansion, Xiao Lao'er needs to personally survey the address!" β
"This is naturally wanted, Uncle Ji, go prepare the carriage, let's go out of the city!"
Mu Jing waved his hand and asked Yi to prepare.
"Out of town?" When Yue Zhu heard this, although he didn't dare to speak, he was slightly puzzled in his heart: Is the Minghou Mansion going to be built outside the city?
Of course, although he had doubts, the demon image that Mu Jing left her was too big, and he didn't dare to say or ask.
In this way, Yue Zhu and Mu Jing sat in the same carriage and headed out of the city.
When he stepped out of the carriage, Yue Zhu's feet were trembling, thinking about it, he was in the same carriage with this bloodless demon all the way, which made him jump with his liver fluttering, and he almost couldn't smoke in a breath, and he was directly stalked.
"Old man, what do you think of this plain?"
Mu Jing looked ahead.
"Mountains and rivers are all, the plains are high and open, there is no water, it is a place that can be built!" Yue Zhu looked at it carefully, but he was very surprised, and said: "But this place is too big, if the prince builds a mansion to cover it, this is a big project, no less than building a palace!" β
"Hahaha!"
Mu Jing laughed: "The old man laughed, Jing Ke didn't have such great ambitions, and he didn't dare to hurt the people so much!" β
This plain, connecting several surrounding mountains, south is the Han River flowing, at first glance, at least thousands of acres, you know, Han Weiyang Palace is five square kilometers, more than 7,000 acres, he does not have such great ambitions, let alone such great financial resources.
"I preliminarily consider that the Minghou Mansion can build an area of 800 acres, which is in this plain, as for where to choose the site, please ask the old man to decide!"
Mu Jing has thought about it, the Ming Marquis Mansion must have a place to settle down in Dingli Hanzhong, and make it a little stronger, in order to show the faΓ§ade of the future, he doesn't want to move casually, so once the atmosphere is built, build a mansion of 800 acres, not only his mansion, but also an office.
"The old man needs time!"
Yue Zhu said.
"No problem!" The pastor nodded: "If you need anything, Yi will help you, Yi Ji!" β
"Lord!"
"From now on, you are the supervisor who supervises the construction of the Minghou Mansion, and is responsible for all logistics supplies, including the recruitment of the people, but everything is dominated by Mr. Yue, and he is the main person in charge of the construction of the Minghou Mansion!"
"Yes!"
"Since the prince trusts the little old man, the little old man will build a mansion for the prince to satisfy the prince!" Yue Zhu said respectfully.
Yue Zhu is an old man who is fascinated by architecture, of course, he alone cannot take on such a large project, and he still has dozens of apprentices under him, but he can meet the identity of a designer.
This is the biggest job he has ever received, putting aside the fear of Mujing, the Minghou Mansion is also the mansion with the highest status he has ever received, so he is very serious, and even regards this as the honor of his life, the work of the mountain.
The next day, he took dozens of his apprentices and camped on this plain, and began to choose a place to build a mansion.
