Chapter 217: The Palace

This wedding celebration lasted for two days, and in the end, Xiao Yuan also summoned officials from all over the country and ordered them to return to the jurisdiction as soon as possible and not to stay in Qinzhou.

A place cannot be without officials.

After these people left Qinzhou, on this day, Shangguan Wenruo reported that the location of the palace had already been decided, and Xiao Yuan was invited to make a decision.

This is also a big deal, after receiving the news, Xiao Yuan took the group to the destination.

This is a wilderness place outside the city of Qinzhou, not far from the city wall.

When Xiao Yuan arrived here, from a distance, he saw Shangguan Wenruo pointing and gesturing with a middle-aged man there, he should be discussing the area of the palace and the general plan.

When he approached, Shangguan Wenruo learned about it, and immediately stopped talking, walked over quickly, and said, "Lord." ”

Xiao Yuan waved his hand to signal him to be polite, then glanced at the surroundings and said, "The address of the palace you said is here?" ”

"Back to the lord, I have looked at many places and looked for a long time, but when I looked back, I found that this place is where the king's anger lies." Shangguan Wenruo said.

"Oh?" What he said was mysterious, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at him funny.

The latter began to point to the open space in front of him and explained: "My lord, please see, this place is surrounded by mountains in the north and the plains in the south, and Qinzhou is a military and political center. ”

Liu Yuzhi once said that Shangguan Wenruo is familiar with astronomy and geography, he understands this, and there is nothing strange about this remark.

To be honest, Xiao Yuan didn't understand this, but he still looked left and right, and said: "Next to it is Qinzhou City, do you mean, tear down the current city wall, and then use the palace as the center of Qinzhou?" ”

"Exactly." Shangguan Wenruo said: "Qinzhou goes out to the east, you can overlook the Central Plains, go down to Jianghuai, retreat, you can go to Sanchuan, enough to control the world, become the capital of the king, and the lord must be in the middle to accept the Quartet, whether it is to run Qinshu, or to go east to fight for hegemony, the place to stay, it must be here." ”

What he said was serious, Xiao Yuan heard this, and nodded slowly: "Okay, according to what you say, how are you going to build it?" ”

"I don't understand the matter of architecture, but I have invited talents in this area for the lord."

As he spoke, Shangguan Wenruo introduced the middle-aged man behind him to Xiao Yuandao: "Lord, this person's name is Mo Ziyu, and his ancestors are all top craftsmen, and he is in the king's palace, and he has more hands than his ancestors. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan understood that this should be similar to the top architect at that time, he smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said, "There is Mr. Lao Mo." ”

"Where, where, my lord is too polite." Mo Ziyu also smiled and bowed, and then explained:

"Regulated by the national capital, there should be three gates next to it, nine longitudes and nine latitudes in the country, nine tracks in the warp and nine tracks, the left ancestor and the right society, and the front and the back city."

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan said with some embarrassment: "Sir, this, it's too big, right?" ”

This is to build a palace, not a residence, maybe I didn't expect Lord Qin to say this, Mo Ziyu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said: "My lord doesn't know, the matter of the palace represents the supreme majesty of the king, and it must be rigorous. ”

"Okay." Xiao Yuan said helplessly, and asked curiously: "How much does it occupy?" ”

"En......" Mo Ziyu pondered for a while: "After discussing with Lord Shangguan, I think that more than 600 acres of land is the best, of course, this still needs to be decided by adults." ”

"What!?" After hearing this, Xiao Yuan was taken aback, and couldn't help but stare at him and said, "This is also too big!" No, no, no! How can I have so much money in Qindi! ”

He waved his hand again and again, not to mention his appearance, not to mention how much 'slamming the door'.

600 acres, with the unit at that time, is equivalent to more than 400,000 square meters now.

Seeing his appearance, Mo Ziyu couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Wenruo, and said: "My lord, looking at the palace of the kings, especially the Jin Palace, the land alone is 980 acres, of which there are more than 60 palaces, which are majestic and majestic, and they are the best in the world. ”

"What's the use of that?" Xiao Yuan immediately said: "The Jin Palace is the Jin Palace, the King of Jin is the King of Jin, people have money, they can squander it at will, but we are poor, we can't work so hard and lose money, in my opinion, it is 200 acres, which is the best." ”

As he spoke, he also looked at Mo Ziyu and said, "200 acres, Mr. may complete the scale of the palace?" ”

"This ......" Mo Ziyu looked weird, not knowing what to say.

When Shangguan Wenruo saw this, he moved the corners of his mouth, and wondered: "Lord, in my opinion, how can you get four or five hundred acres?" ”

"No, I don't have any money, just 200 acres." Xiao Yuan said simply.

"That'...... 400 acres? Shangguan Wenruo said tentatively again.

"No, no, no."

"Lord, this is the royal city, the 300 acres are in charge."

"This ...... Well, just 300 acres. ”

This is to build a royal palace, which was originally a place for Xiao Yuan to discuss politics and live, but now it is bargaining.

Shangguan Wen was helpless, and after this incident, he pointed to a place and said: "Lord, please see, when the palace is completed, this will become the main street and the center of the market." ”

Where is the capital, where is naturally the political and economic center, there is nothing to say, Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard this.

At this moment, Ye Cheng hurriedly walked over, clasped his fists and saluted: "Lord, the two messengers are here." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look back.

Sure enough, Cai Yan and Cheng Ping, under the guidance of Liu Yuzhi, were coming this way.

After the two sides met, Cai Yan also bowed his hand and said, "I was going to resign, but I heard that Lord Qin was here, so I asked Lord Liu to bring it over. ”

"Where, where, your envoy is polite." Xiao Yuan first said with a smile, and then said, "What? Lord Cai is leaving? If I don't stay a few more days, I will do my landlord's friendship. ”

"No, no, Lord Qin's hospitality, I am flattered, it is still inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I should return to China as soon as possible and return to my king." Cai Yan said politely.

When he said this, Xiao Yuan couldn't force him to stay, so he was polite to Cheng Ping again, who also came to resign.

Then, Cai Yan looked at the arena again, and said curiously: "I heard that Qin wants to open the country, is this building a palace?" ”

"This ......," Xiao Yuan groaned.

Cai Yan said again: "If the prime minister of Qin is the king, please also inform the Liang Kingdom, at that time, my country will definitely go to watch the ceremony." ”

"Lingguo is the same, I hope to be friendly with Qin forever." Cheng Ping followed.

"Hehe, it's easy to say, definitely, definitely."

Xiao Yuan looked smiling, it stands to reason that he is only the Lord of Qin now, but the attitude of the two countries is extremely friendly, which surprises him.
