This is also to prevent the situation in Beizong from happening, and there is no room for negotiation.

After listening to the holy decree, Kong Shangqian's expression was a little wooden, and he froze in place for a long time and did not come back to his senses.

Kong Shangqian didn't have this kind of fantasy, and even their family had this kind of fantasy about taking back the title of Duke of Yansheng from the hands of Beizong. But until today, this fantasy has never been realized.

Since he had no choice but to give up the title of Duke Yansheng, Kong Shangqian's family was not very willing.

They are the Southern Sect of the Confucian family, although they are in the same vein as Changfang, but they follow the Southern Song Dynasty. As a result, wasn't the Southern Song Dynasty defeated? Naturally, the title of Duke Yan could not have them.

If he hadn't given up his title back then, whether Kong Shangqian's family could live or not was a matter of two things. Now that people have survived and their lives are going well, they were given a hereditary doctor of the Five Classics during the Zhengde period, which can be regarded as some comfort.

However, he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would get his title back, and Kong Shangqian couldn't help but be happy. It's just that there is one point, the emperor asked his family to go to the capital, which is a little not good.

You must know that although Kong Shangqian's family does not have much property in Quzhou, it has also been operating and accumulating for so many years, and with the reputation of the Kong family, there is still some family property more or less, at least there is no problem in living a rich life.

Now for the sake of a knighthood, giving up the existing livelihood and moving his family to Beijing, I am afraid that the future life will not be easy. Although he was given the title of Yan Shenggong, there were not many of them, and if he wanted to rely on the name of the Kong family to get some fields in the capital, he didn't even think about it.

What is the capital?

Every inch of land has long been carved up. An outsider wants to come here to intervene, and the beauty doesn't kill you?

Not even the Confucian family.

But this is a holy decree, there is no room for bargaining at all, and it is not Kong Shangqian's turn to go or not. He was helpless, and this was mixed news.

"The minister takes the order."

There was no choice at this time, Kong Shangqian hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

The eunuch naturally didn't know what Kong Shangqian was thinking, so he personally handed over the holy decree to Kong Shangqian, helped him up with a smile, and said directly: "Yan Shenggong, this sealing ceremony is held in the capital, so everything is simple at this time." ”

"Yan Shenggong will clean up as soon as possible, dispose of the things in the house, and go to Beijing with our family."

After hearing this, Kong Shangqian nodded and said, "There is an old husband, please invite your father-in-law to serve tea." ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation and invited the eunuch who had delivered the decree in.

After entering the door, Kong Shangqian's face became solemn.

It is definitely not a problem for the industry in the house to be sold out, and there is no reason why the price will be lowered. The family is not declining, but ascending. At this time, there are many people who want to give benefits, I heard that the Kong family deals with the industry, they will only open a high price, not a low price.

The Kong family can leave a large sum of money, that's for sure. It's just one thing, what can you do with this money in the capital?

This made Kong Shangqian a little worried. If something goes wrong, he'll probably not be able to live.

However, there was no need to discuss, Kong Shangqian began to deal with the family's property while letting people entertain the good Qincha.

The capital, the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Youxiao stood in front of a pair of maps, holding a pole in his hand and pointing out the direction from time to time.

Chen Hong was holding the booklet in the back, constantly cooperating with Zhu Youxiao to find a place.

The two had a very good time.

At this time, Empress Zhang walked in from the outside and was a little helpless when she saw this scene.

Her emperor is good at everything, but he always does some inexplicable things. I heard that a new city was going to be built this time, but I don't know what he thought.

Building a new city next to the capital, what is going on?

But Empress Zhang didn't come here for this matter.

Seeing Empress Zhang coming, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly greeted him, and asked with a smile, "Why did Baozhu come over?" What about my emperor? ”

"I fell asleep." Empress Zhang said with a smile: "The concubine came here today to ask Your Majesty, this is about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, do you want to celebrate in the palace?" Now that I have some money, everyone has been living a tight life, taking advantage of this time to be relaxed and relaxed. ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Empress Zhang, slowly shook his head and said, "This is not good. When the money in the palace is not yet spent, the money in the inner treasury has other functions, and it cannot be spent at will. ”

While speaking, Zhu Youxiao pulled Empress Zhang over. The two of them came to the front of the map together.

Stretching out his hand to pick up the pole, Zhu Youxiao pointed in one direction and said, "Baozhu look at this." ”

Looking in the direction pointed by Zhu Youxiao, Empress Zhang was stunned, and then said, "Isn't this Tsinghua Garden?" ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "This is indeed Tsinghua Garden. "Globally

Tsinghua Garden, the first garden in Beijing.

The person who built Tsinghua Garden was the grandfather of Emperor Wanli, the father-in-law of Emperor Longqing, and the father of Empress Dowager Li - Li Wei, Marquis of Wuqing.

It's just that after Wanli, the Li family has completely declined.

Xun Qi flourished for a while, and basically this is the law. Decades passed, after two emperors. Naturally, the Xungui family has no power, and the Li family is the same.

This time, Zhu Youxiao set his sights on this place.

"Your Majesty wants this garden?" Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Youxiao and asked.

That's not a good thing. Forcibly seizing the property of the courtiers is not a glorious thing for the royal family. What's more, this is still the property of the Xun family, and it is easy to cause a situation where everyone is in danger, so it is absolutely impossible to do this.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "How could I do such a thing? ”

This Tsinghua Garden was more valued in the Qing Dynasty. It's just that Zhu Youxiao took a fancy to Tsinghua Park because Tsinghua Garden was the location of Tsinghua University in later generations. On the opposite side of Tsinghua Park is Peking University.

Zhu Youxiao wants to build a new city here, and the surrounding garden needs to be sorted out.

For Zhu Youxiao, these people occupied this place and built so many gardens. In addition to the Tsinghua Garden, there are many gardens, and many temples and Taoist temples have also been built.

This is not what Zhu Youxiao wants, an empty place is a good place. As for how to build this place, Zhu Youxiao already had an idea in his heart.

Emptying must be emptied, but you can't tell Empress Zhang.

Zhu Youxiao pulled Queen Zhang and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own opinions in my heart." ”

After hearing this, Empress Zhang also understood, and could only look at Zhu Youxiao helplessly.

After being married for so long, how could Empress Zhang not know the emperor of her family?

If she doesn't let her take care of this matter, it doesn't mean that the emperor won't do it. Obviously, the emperor of his own family has taken a fancy to this land, and these people definitely need to give up the land.

Being a little embarrassed by Empress Zhang, Zhu Youxiao reached out and took her hand, took her to the front of the map, and said: "Look here, the terrain is just right, and it is not far from the capital. It would be a waste to let them stand here and build a garden. ”

"I want to build a academy here, move all the academies in the capital out, and gather them all here. When the students of the academy go to school here, I will also build a Confucian temple here, and the new Yansheng Mansion will also be here. This place will become the cultural and educational place of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"It's a waste of place to let them occupy the garden here!" Zhu Youxiao explained indignantly.

But only Zhu Youxiao understood in his heart that he was doing this, in addition to concentrating on the academy, he was just speculating in real estate.

It is not easy to live in the capital, and it is not a day or two. The housing prices in the capital are really high.

In the capital, there are already a lot of new academies in the imperial court, among which the area of Shoushan Academy is very large. Vacate these lands, and all the academies were moved out of the city, and the lands inside the capital came out.

These lands, whether used to build shops or houses, will make a lot of money. If you exchange the land outside the city for the land inside the city, you will not pay for it.

Even in Zhu Youxiao's heart, he is ready to build a residence here. Some of it is used for sale, some of it is used to reward officials, and some of it is used as a dormitory for officials. It not only bought people's hearts, but also made profits.

As for the outside of the city, Zhu Youxiao will naturally not let it go. Where there are people, there is naturally money, and real estate can be built.

Zhu Youxiao concentrated the academy in Tsinghua Garden, where all the teachers and Confucian temples were located, which was the holy place of culture and education. When people who read books come here, they naturally want to go shopping.

It is impossible not to appreciate the value of Tsinghua Park to create a characteristic reading culture and build a characteristic commercial street.

By bringing all the schools together, the spending power of the students alone can bring a piece of the book. In later generations, this was the most routine operation, and Zhu Youxiao had seen too much.

Bring all the schools together in one area and build a new district. As students enroll, the surrounding industries naturally come.

After all, there are many students, the spending power is also high, and the old land can be vacated for real estate, which time is not a lot of money?

Although you can't build a school district house, it's enough.

As for these gardens, they must be cleaned up. How can they be allowed to occupy these places here? It's just inexplicable.

When the time comes, you can build a garden next to Tsinghua Garden, or you can move the palace in the capital out. Later, a palace was built next to the Qinghua Garden, so that all the princes who entered the capital went to live there.

The palace vacated in the city, what is it wrong to have such a large ground?

Of course, these are all what Zhu Youxiao thinks in his heart, so it is naturally impossible to tell Empress Zhang.

It's a shame.

Empress Zhang also knew that Zhu Youxiao's words were not true, but as the queen, she naturally couldn't let the emperor not come down.

She didn't continue to ask, and said with some hesitation: "But the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the palace always has to reward something." and nobles and nobles, all of whom must be rewarded. ”
