In this case, the front hall of the palace under reconstruction is still prepared to adopt the traditional palace style.

But the second half is different, the buildings are all in the form of exquisite courtyards, and then they are also intended to be connected to the existing royal courtyard.

After completion, this harem part is actually a huge park, scattered with dozens of buildings of different sizes and styles during the period, and according to Li Xuan's requirements, there are various styles, there are very traditional Jiangnan gardens, northern buildings, etc., as well as various architectural styles of Western styles.

Such a building layout, in addition to Li Xuan's liking in style, in fact, there is a bigger reason is to save money in this way!

Although the area of the harem is huge, flowers and plants are planted, and there are various buildings of different styles, but in fact it does not cost much money, and the most important cost should actually be a variety of furnishings, but there is no need to worry about this, the imperial treasury of the Tang Empire has a large number of various treasures seized from the former Ming Dynasty.

The former Ming Palace in Youzhou was emptied, and even many precious building materials were demolished and transported to Jinling City as building materials for the reconstruction of the palace.

With a similar fate, the mansions of the former Ming vassal kings and the mansions of the die-hard ministers in various places were basically emptied, and then some precious building materials were also demolished.

And these things, the building materials were naturally used in the construction of the palace, and all kinds of treasures were sent into the imperial treasury.

Therefore, in the imperial treasury of the Tang Empire, there are countless treasures, and it is not even possible to accurately estimate their value, because many of them are priceless.

And today's Tang Empire has obviously not fallen to the point of selling all kinds of treasures, but these treasures cannot always be kept in the warehouse and covered with dust.

Therefore, the fate of these treasures, like their previous fate, will become decorations in the palace, or be used by the royal family to give to the courtiers, and then the courtiers will take them home and display them.

Therefore, the biggest cost of building the harem part, that is, the various precious furnishings, actually does not need to spend a dime.

The land of the garden is leveled, some rockeries, lakes and the like, and then the construction of living yards is actually not very expensive, at least not comparable to those halls in the first half of the palace.

The large halls in the front hall are not to mention the large scale, and the materials used are all strict, and the wood used is subject to strict requirements, although some of them are appropriated from the Youzhou Palace.

But Li Xuan also didn't want to directly demolish the entire Youzhou Palace, so he just moved away the furnishings and some materials, and the main building part was still retained, used as the Northern Palace, after all, this is also a huge building complex, which can be regarded as a cultural heritage, if it is demolished for himself, it is not good, so it is better to leave some architectural cultural heritage for future generations!

This Youzhou Imperial Palace is preserved, and naturally there is no way to remove a large number of building materials to rebuild the Jinling Imperial Palace!

Since these materials are not solved from the inside, they can only be purchased from outside, but these materials are basically extremely expensive outside.

Of course, if the empire is really ruthless and smashes a few million taels of silver at one time, the palace will be able to be repaired in a few years, if the situation of bidding is adopted, and the money is in place, several domestic construction companies, such as the Shanghai Construction Company under the Shanghai Wharf Company, said that as long as the money is enough, the palace can be repaired in a year!

It's a pity that the empire or Li Xuan is not willing to spend so much money!

The central financial revenue of the empire has exceeded 100 million yuan every year, but the expenses scheduled to be used for the palace this year are only 300,000 yuan of silver, and part of this 300,000 yuan will be used for the maintenance of the current royal palace.

This amount of money is only a fraction of the material money......

According to the current investment, the huge buildings in the front hall of the palace are estimated to not be able to be built in the next ten years!

But Li Xuan is not in a hurry, or he doesn't care!

The large-scale complex of buildings has no use except for the tradition!

If it was really useful, Li Xuan would have given money to repair it a long time ago, and it would have been used there until now!

In the early years, Li Xuan would rather spend more than 100,000 yuan to build the Hanlin Academy, and the cost of an office building of the Hanlin Academy was more than the amount of money spent on all the palaces in the past so many years......

The office building of Hanlin Academy, why should Li Xuan pay attention to it?

Because this building is used for the office of hundreds of secretaries of the Hanlin Academy, and it is urgently needed.

As for all kinds of major ceremonies, Li Xuan is usually held in the big square in front of the palace courtyard now, this super large square, is it much more convenient to have a large hall.

Li Xuan even held a military parade on this palace square!

In this case, Li Xuan will naturally spend the money where it should be spent, for example, in terms of water conservancy facilities, Li Xuan can spend 15 million yuan with a stroke of the pen, and let the local finances also spend 20 or 30 million yuan to carry out water conservancy.

In addition, a ten-year long-term plan has been approved, with a total investment of 100 million yuan.

Because water conservancy facilities are related to people's livelihood, the life and death of more than 150 million people, and the foundation of the Tang Empire.

So no matter how much money is thrown, Li Xuan is willing, anyway, all this money is taken from the people, and it is natural to use it for the people.

If he collects hundreds of millions of taxes a year, and then spends tens of millions to build a palace for himself, Li Xuan estimates that sooner or later he will be guillotined by the mob!

Well, more importantly, if the main hall is not repaired, it will not affect Li Xuan's enjoyment of life, and he does not live in the front hall, but in the harem, and now the harem is being built~

Once it is repaired, the place will be bigger, and it should be able to accommodate more people, and then Li Xuan will also develop the literary and artistic undertakings of the Tang Dynasty, and increase the scale of the Royal Dance Troupe from the current fifty to one hundred.

After all, as an emperor, you must spread rain and dew and enjoy with the people!

Sprinkle the rain and dew to more people, this is Li Xuan's important task!

The responsibility is heavy, and it cannot be taken lightly!

After accompanying Li Xuan to inspect the unfinished construction site of the palace backyard, Liu Bagou went back, and after he went back, he began to hang up the door sign for retreat as usual.

But any other official who asked to see him because of the turmoil in the present situation was not to be seen.

Now that he has learned of the plan of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven wants to take advantage of this opportunity to carry out in-depth reform of the existing judicial system and completely cut off the connection between the administration and the judiciary.

If the Son of Heaven wants to do this, Liu Bagou naturally supports it.

Anyway, no matter what he does, it can't harm his own interests.

Liu Bagou is transcendent in the court of the Tang Dynasty, even if he is the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, but he has never participated in the affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture, and he will not favor the Ministry of Agriculture or the entire cabinet when he participates in politics in the imperial study.

What's more, today's Liu Bagou can also see that the problem of official governance within the empire is indeed more serious, and this corrupt official has emerged one after another, and the Inspectorate has to arrest a lot of corrupt officials every year, but it still can't stop this situation.

Official corruption is a stubborn disease, and it is impossible to completely eradicate it, and since it cannot be eradicated, there is no other way to do so, so the feasible way can only start from the aspect of supervision.

At present, the Inspectorate and the Cabinet are too deeply connected, and they are very vulnerable to the influence of the Cabinet, which naturally affects the independence of the judiciary and brings great obstacles to supervision.

Under such circumstances, the Son of Heaven wants to carry out in-depth reform of the judicial system, which is also a matter of cleanup.

Liu Bagou can see it, and a few other people can naturally see it from the clues, after all, there are still many smart people in this world, and it can be inferred from the clues.

Sure enough, when many people guessed the clues, this matter was also completely poked out!

The content of the excerpt is mainly the reform of the Inspectorate, but it is not only the internal reform, but more importantly, he proposed that the personnel of the Inspectorate be transferred from the Ministry of Officials to the internal personnel institutions of the Inspectorate, and at the same time, the local Inspectorate will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the local governor, the prefect, the county and other leaders, and the dual leadership will become the direct leadership of the Inspectorate.

This person is the second-in-command of the Inspectorate, and his grade is the second grade, and he is a real high-ranking official and heavyweight in the empire, and his political status is not weaker than that of the various ministries.

can be higher than his political status, then there are only the ministers on duty in the imperial study, such as his immediate boss Zuodu Yushi of the Inspectorate, and Shi Wuyan, the minister on duty in the imperial study, but Shi Wuyan is obviously impossible to make a statement in person in the early stage.

But the weight of ordinary people's words is too weak, so Fan Chenglin, the second-in-command of the Inspectorate, has become the best candidate, his words can not only fully express the opinions of the Inspectorate, but also not leave a certain amount of leeway, and then you can bargain with other departments, not too passive.

Shi Wuyan has been in the Inspectorate for seven or eight years, and finally boiled the former Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi Song Tieshu to Zhishi, and then successfully took over the Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi, and it is logical to enter the imperial study and become the minister on duty, this person can finally become the Zuodu Yushi and the minister on duty in the imperial study, in addition to hard work, it is also related to his caution.

Naturally, it is not easy to take a stand on the current debate on judicial independence!

But this person is also one of the few people who currently knows that the Son of Heaven wants to carry out a thorough reform of the judicial system, and even many things are arranged by him under the hint of the Son of Heaven.

Without the heavyweight arrangement of the Minister on Duty in the Imperial Study, how could it be possible to set off such a big storm in just half a month!
