How big is the Forbidden City? One thousand and eighty acres.

The Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty covers an area of about 4,950 acres, the Weiyang Palace of the Qiang Han Dynasty covers an area of about 6,900 acres, the Changle Palace covers an area of about 9,900 acres, and the Afang Palace of Daqin covers an area of about 22,500 acres.

The most incomprehensible palace group in history is probably Xianyang Palace, covering an area of 2.19 million acres.

The area of the summer palace naturally does not reach the scale of 2.19 million mu, but think about an inner lake that reaches 90,000 mu, plus the place occupied by the outer lake and other palaces, even if it is smaller than Xianyang Palace, it is a super-large palace.

The most important thing is that Xianyang Palace has been burned down by Xiang Yu, but the Summer Palace has just been built.

Liu Xingzuo was casually gesturing on the sand table, while explaining the various palace groups of the entire summer palace to Emperor Chongzhen, and Xia Ezhe also added a few words from the side from time to time.

Although he has read the words of the sage, Xia Ezhe's way of thinking has not yet been completely transformed into the way of thinking of a literati, or Xia Ezhe's thinking of serving Emperor Chongzhen wholeheartedly, there are not too many twists and turns.

Therefore, the content added by Xia Ezhe seems very bloody - how many manpower and material resources were used in this palace, how many barbarians died as a result, what difficulties were encountered and how were they solved......

In short, it shows how much effort he and Liu Xingzuo have put in to build the palace, how hard they have worked, even if there is no credit, there are hard work.

Emperor Chongzhen listened while summing up something else.

The Forbidden City only covers an area of about 1,000 acres, which is already big enough, and the existence of this summer palace is the same as the Xianyang Palace, which belongs to the insoluble freaks - in addition to the palace groups in the harem, you need to take a horse or a car to and from other palaces!

Although Wen Tiren and the others who were listening to the audit have not said a word from the beginning to the present, they also have a certain degree of understanding of the entire summer palace.

As Emperor Chongzhen traveled to Nuergan, he unexpectedly discovered that Emperor Chongzhen still had such an industry, and Wen Tiren and others suddenly made a small calculation.

Do you want to buy some more land here in the summer palace and build a few courtyards?

It is foreseeable that Emperor Chongzhen will definitely travel in the future, and he will go to the summer palace every year to escape the summer, and his own people will definitely have to go with him.

If you have a courtyard here, every time you come to the summer palace, you don't need the inner eunuch and the young mansion to arrange the residence of these people, it will be a matter of face.

Before Wen Tiren and the others could make a decision, after Liu Xingzuo finished explaining the summer palace, he pointed to a large piece of land south of the summer palace and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have vacated some land here, there are more than 20 houses with seven entrances, more than 100 houses with five entrances, and nearly 1,000 houses with three entrances. ”

Emperor Chongzhen immediately understood, and couldn't help but secretly praise Liu Xingzuo for being a man, no wonder he was able to get into a high position on Jiannu's side at the beginning, and finally stabbed Jiannu with his backhand.

After muttering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen simply set his eyes on Wen Tiren: "Liu Aiqing and Xia Aiqing have set aside enough houses for everyone here, how to distribute them, Wen Aiqing might as well discuss with the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Wen Tiren and others are even happier now - Liu Xingzuo can be a man! You don't have to pay money to get a yard, which is a great thing!

Stroking his already silver-white beard and smiling, Wen Tiren bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Hou and Xiahou have made meritorious contributions in refusing to build slaves in the north of Nuergandusi, and they have built such a large summer palace to dedicate to Your Majesty without spending the treasury, which shows their loyalty." ”

This is the exchange of interests.

Liu Xingzuo took such a large piece of land to build a house and let Emperor Chongzhen buy people's hearts, Wen Tiren and others had hope of getting a house for nothing, so naturally they didn't mind touting Liu Xingzuo.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't mind either.

The land was set aside by Liu Xingzuo and Xia Ezhe, but the decision to give it to the courtiers was made by themselves, and in the end, the officials still had to thank them for their kindness.

……

As the national ruler of the Ming Dynasty, especially the daughter who entered the palace was still in pain from childhood to adulthood, and she was afraid of melting in the palm of her hand, Wan Yanhong wanted to run over when she knew that Emperor Chongzhen's personal prisoner Nuergan Dusi had long wanted to run over.

However, because Emperor Chongzhen's trip was a trip, not to scare people with the horses, Wan Yanhong had to strangle the idea of running directly over, and honestly said that he hoped to come to Nuergan and hated the spitting face Shengyunyun.

After the palace came to the will summoned by Emperor Chongzhen, Wan Yanhong couldn't sit still anymore, and began to point to the sky and the earth in the Guogong Mansion and began to scold the street: "He is his mother! What's so good about this broken Liaodong! Yes! My father is also going to send some fun things to the eldest prince, what kind of things are you guys bringing here! ”

Wan Yanhong was worried, the entire Liaodong was about to be rummaged, and he didn't find a few things that could fit his heart, what should he do if he wanted to give a gift to his obedient grandson? Shame or not?

However, no matter how worried you are, it is useless, the emperor's will has arrived, and even if Wan Yanhong wants to spend another two days to prepare, he can only quickly pack up and go to the summer palace to face the saint.

The first thing Wan Yan Hong did when he saw Emperor Chongzhen was to first show his loyalty, and then to show off his contributions in Liaodong, and finally to ask Wan Yan Yuzhuo in a roundabout way.

Emperor Chongzhen also smiled secretly in his heart, sighing that it was really the heart of the world's parents.

Wan Yan Hong is also old, the original bear-like strong body has some rickets, the age of more than fifty years in Daming may not be nothing, but the bitter cold outside the Guan, coupled with years of battle, Wan Yan Hong's hair has turned white, and there are not many folds on the whole old face, but it is engraved with traces of time.

After the regular audience ceremony was over, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Duke Hu Guogong and I are a family, forget these false etiquette, let's go with me to see Concubine Wan first." ”

Wan Yan Hong bowed and followed Emperor Chongzhen towards the apse of the summer palace.

Just past the palace where Emperor Chongzhen received Yan Hong, there is a large open space behind it, and there is almost no edge visible at a glance, and only the outlines of countless palaces can be seen in the distance, which is countless times larger than the Forbidden City that Yan Hong has seen before.

Wan Yanhong couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for the strong power of the Ming Dynasty, who could build such a majestic palace?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Li should have already arranged a place for Duke Hu Guo?" The courtyard was given to the Duke of Hu Guo, and it will not be taken back in the future. ”

Wan Yanhong thanked him, but his thoughts drifted a little far.

He is the father-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen is rich all over the world, and it is not a big deal to reward himself with a seven-entry courtyard, just like Zhu Chunchen and Zhang Zhiji, and the two princes of the Ming Dynasty also have them.

What I miss the most is my daughter and grandson, how many years have I not seen each other? Knowing today, it is better not to let Yuzhuo enter the palace at the beginning, stay in Liaodong, so that they can meet often, and on the day they die, their son and daughter can also accompany them in front of the bed.

But there doesn't seem to be anything bad about it now? In a few years, his grandson should also grow up, and then he will be a proper king of Liao, and the fief is nothing more than Liaodong or Nuergandusi, which is very close to him.

Are there any bastards in this land who are disobedient or prone to getting things done? Clean them all up in advance, so that your grandson can be the king of Liao in a down-to-earth manner?

As for the idea of settling in the customs in the early years, it has long been left behind by Wan Yanhong.

Now Liaodong and Nuergandu Division are the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the government is also an official sent by the Ming court.

If you have to find out what is different, it is that winter comes earlier than Kannai, the snow is thicker than Kannai, and the weather is colder than Kannai, so what's the difference? Is it a difference that the rice grown outside the Kanki is more delicious than the Kannai?

Wan Yan Hong was thinking about these messy things in his heart, and the imperial chariot was ready, and after Emperor Chongzhen took Wan Yan Hong to board it together, he slowly walked towards the harem.

The trouble of the daughter marrying into the heavenly family, just like the current Wan Yan Hong, must first meet the courtier's etiquette to meet Concubine Wan Niangniang and the emperor's eldest son, and then Wan Concubine Wan Yan Yuzhuo will meet her father with her daughter's ceremony - Wan Yan Hong must also turn her body slightly sideways, and she can't accept the full gift of Concubine Wan, otherwise it will be a more courtesy.

Anyway, there are a lot of troubles, which makes Wan Yanhong want to go crazy.

After a dinner party that I didn't know what it tasted like, Wan Yanhong bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, there are still remnants of Jiannu on the side of Beishan, why don't you lead the troops to Pingzhi?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand with a smile and said, "What's the point of destroying those Jiannu now?" Let's let them attack each other with the Mao slaves in the north.

If Jiannu wins, I will send a large army to conquer the non-ministers, if Jiannu wins, I will avenge my Ming vassal tribes, and now if I send troops directly, it is better to be a wall-by-side. ”

As soon as the wind changed, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I remember that when I sent Cui Aiqing to Liaodong to meet Hu Guogong, Hu Guogong also put forward the idea of settling in Guannei, what does Hu Guogong say now?" ”

Wan Yanhong laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the land of Liaodong is bitterly cold, there were Jiannu in Liaodong before, don't say that it is my Xibe Department, and the life of the other tribes is not easy, once they encounter the white disaster, the old people in the clan have to leave the tribe by themselves and disappear into the vast wind and snow, as for where to freeze to death, and how many hungry wolves will gnaw the bones, it can only depend on the will of heaven."

When His Majesty pacified Jiannu and moved the Han people of the Ming Dynasty out of the customs to live, although this Liaodong is still bitterly cold, but it is not so difficult for winter, especially now, every house has been built with a house, and the house is also woven with a fire kang, not to say that it feels cold, but I am afraid that one by one will feel too hot, so hot that I can't sleep. ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted and said with a smile: "The wisdom of the people is always infinite, when it is too hot in summer, the people will make bamboo mats to cool off, and in winter, they will naturally make fire pits to keep warm."

I have sent people to explore the land in Liaodong, as long as the spring and summer are waiting, the autumn harvest will be much better, purely from the yield per mu comparison, it is comparable to the anointed land in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not an exaggeration to call it Beidacang. ”

Wan Yanhong nodded and said, "What's more, the harvest?" Your Majesty has ever heard of a saying in Liaodong, which is called beating a roe deer and scooping fish, and pheasants fly into the rice pot.

Since the destruction of Jiannu in Liaodong, the people can obtain a large number of mountain delicacies in addition to farming, and this day is really better day by day. ”

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's nod with a smile, Wan Yanhong continued, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty doesn't know, Yu Zhuo's temperament was very brutal at the beginning, and he also said that His Majesty was a weak scholar, and she didn't want to marry, so what's going on now?"

The water spilled by the married daughter, Yu Zhuo is now devoted to the heavenly family, and has taken away three thousand soldiers from Weichen, saying that it is to be used by the eldest prince to conquer Jiannu and Maonu in the future. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he pointed to Wanyan Yuzhuo, whose face was flushed, and laughed: "Concubine Wan's temperament has not changed until now.

Hu Guogong didn't know that some time ago, Concubine Wan also asked me for grace, wanting me to move the fief of the King of Liao to the north a little more. ”

Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, Wan Yan Hong bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, if the fiefdom of the eldest prince moves north, Weichen is willing to lead troops to drive the eldest prince forward and pacify those Jiannu and Mao slaves!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to do what the Duke of Hu Guo wants." ”

Wan Yanhong was suddenly a little confused - it can't be as I wanted, so why did you mention the matter of moving the fief north just now? No matter what's the fief of the King of Liao, it has to be in Liaodong or Nuergandusi, right? If you move north, isn't it the North Mountain?

After seeing Yan Hong's puzzled look, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "I have already made a family appointment for Ci Liao, and I am the current head of the Japanese royal family, Xingzi, and I will get married when I am an adult."

Therefore, the fiefdom of the Liao king will not move further north, and it is very likely that it will be transferred to Sakhalin, or simply to Ezo. ”

No problem!

You married the daughter of your grandfather, and the entire tribe of Liaodong became Yuzhuo's dowry, and now you plan to let your son marry the daughter of the Japanese country, and even Ezo Island has been decided, so you plan to let your old Zhu family occupy the world by marrying a daughter-in-law?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had gradually guessed the truth of the matter, and Wan Yanhong couldn't help but complain to himself.

How have you ever seen such a shameless emperor? Have you ever seen a prince who specializes in marrying foreign women? This emperor of the Ming Dynasty can play!

After sighing, Wan Yan Hong bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is wise, if the Japanese Kingdom uses Ezo Island as a dowry, then the great prince can enter and unify the islands of the Japanese Kingdom, and retreat can occupy the Ezo land, Your Majesty is really a saint." ”

Emperor Chongzhen also nodded with a smile and said, "That's what I and Hu Guogong mean when they say this. The 3,000-strong troops that Yuzhuo was going to come had already been arranged by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to be trained on Sakhalin Island for the North Sea Fleet, and they would be stationed on Ezo Island in the future. ”

Wan Yanhong groaned: "If Your Majesty grants permission, the minister is willing to send two more thousand troops to gather the strength of one guard!" ”

PS: The three more 12,000 words have been completed. I went to sleep and was tired. The outbreak will continue tomorrow.
