Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao went out of the palace, and Zhu Houzhao went to the other side to ride a horse.

Several guards rushed over.

However, Liu Jin hesitated in front of Fang Jifan, looked back at Zhu Houzhao nervously, and at the same time ate a sense of meat, chewed, and looked at Fang Jifan with some fear: "Godmaster......"

Fang Jifan put his hands behind his back: "What?" ”

Liu Jin seemed to have an instinctive fear of the other party's successor, and he didn't dare to chew the jerky, so he said cautiously: "Godmaster, you want to repair the new palace, don't you lack silver, grandson here, there are sixty or seventy thousand taels...... If the godmaster is poor and can't eat porridge......"

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jin suspiciously, and said in surprise: "Where did you get so much silver?" ”

Sixty or seventy thousand taels is definitely not a small amount, and it is still disposable cash.

This grandson is just a companion of the East Palace now, and he has not yet begun to enter the celebrant eunuch, which can only be regarded as having a great future, but it is by no means that he has any power at hand now.

But this guy ...... And how much silver is hidden?

Liu Jin said to Ai Ai: "Grandson...... Grandchild...... Saved. ”

Sure enough, it's a big greed, this grandson's current identity, he has so much silver, if it is really like in the future, as in history, he will become a eunuch with a pen and a pen, and he has the authority, and he is greedy for money, God knows how much.

It's horrible.

Fang Jifan looked at the poor and very nervous Liu Jin. couldn't help but say: "I deducted a lot of money and food from the East Palace, did you secretly take out the treasures in the East Palace and sell them?" ”

"......No," Liu Jin said: "No, they are all eunuchs in the palace, who come with filial piety, they think their grandchildren are good, and if there is any benefit, they will share their grandchildren." ”

Liu Jin hurriedly explained.

Fang Jifan suddenly understood.

Future stars.

Those eunuchs in the palace, who don't want to talk to the big celebrity around the prince, after all, people have to find a way for their future.

These eunuchs seem to be very rich, but they don't know that Xiao Jing...... How much silver is hidden, Fang Jifan squinted his eyes and thought to himself.

Fang Jifan put his hands behind his back, and then said: "Oh, grandpa, I'm not short of money now, no matter how much money I lack, it's good that my grandson has this heart." ”

Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed the dried meat, tears filled the corners of his eyes, and he was about to cry: "My grandson was castrated by my father, and from the moment I was sent to the palace, I had nothing to do with my family. It's a dead end......"

As she spoke, Liu Jin cried.

Fang Jifan had no choice but to pinch his fleshy face: "Okay, don't cry, don't cry, grandpa also hurts you, what are you crying about." ”

Liu Jin immediately wiped his tears: "Godlord, my grandson has gone to serve the prince." ”

"Go, go." Fang Jifan waved his hand.

Liu Jin was just about to take a few steps.

Fang Jifan remembered something.

This grandson still has to be educated well.

Since people really have this heart, they have to show their grandfather's appearance.

Fang Jifan said: "Wait." ”

Liu Jin was busy stopping and looked at Fang Jifan cautiously.

Fang Jifan sighed: "In the future, you have to be solemn, it's also my grandson, you don't have a face, my Jifan, there is still a person with a head and a face, talk to people in the future, don't always stuff things into your mouth, embarrassed." ”

Liu Jin was silent for a long time and said, "There is a reason for this. ”

"What?" Fang Jifan was a little confused.

Liu Jin said: "My grandson also felt bad, and then I spent a lot of money and invited a fortune teller to calculate, and people said that my grandson is short of meat in the five elements, and he needs to make up for it, this is a disease, and he must be treated!" ”

“……”

Seeing that he was serious, Fang Jifan was extremely suspicious that this guy had bribed the damn fortune teller.

Simply waved his hand: "Get out!" ”

Liu Jin swooped and chased after the prince.

Fang Jifan came back to his senses for a long time, and he was too ruthless.

…………

The new palace has begun to rise slowly.

The project is divided into five stages, and now, the first stage, in addition to the moat and the palace wall, corner tower and city tower of Daming Palace, is the main building of a Daming Hall and Wanshou Garden.

Under the guidance of the craftsmen according to the drawings, the craftsmen first built the bricks out of the frame of the main body, and then poured into the concrete, which was mixed with wicker, which was very strong.

The good thing about concrete is that it is not susceptible to water permeability, it is strong and, of course, most importantly, it saves money.

Next, the walls are leveled, painted and painted.

The main hall does not require wooden beams.

This thing is too expensive, you have to go to Yunnan and other places to find good wood, and then, you have to transport it, and the cost is no less than 10,000 taels of silver.

Fang Jifan directly asked people to adopt stone pillars, beautiful, simple and generous.

The road inside is first compacted with gravel and rammed earth, and the aqueduct is dug on both sides, and the top of the aqueduct is pasted with a hollow concrete brick slab, and the road is directly constructed with concrete, and on top of the concrete, a layer of asphalt is brushed.

On the one hand, asphalt is extracted from coal, and petroleum asphalt is not easy to exploit oil, and there is no easy oil to extract near Beijing. On the other hand, natural asphalt is directly mined.

After plastering a layer of asphalt, on top of this asphalt, red paint was painted, and the red paint had patterns such as longevity.

Brushing red paint is also a last resort, in this era, just this mouthful, festive.

The path in the garden, then paved with anticorrosive wood, along the main road of concrete, there will always be a variety of paths, the weather of this Beijing division, dry, therefore, there must be water, the water of the moat, is drawn from the Grand Canal, and then from the moat to divert water, excavated an artificial lake, transplanted trees, has begun to plant, this is Tun Tianwei's housekeeping skills, Zhang Xin personally rolled up his sleeves, with a dry of people, using the painting method of the Francosis machine, first communicated with the craftsmen of the garden, and finally, designed a sketch, which place, What flowers and plants are arranged, where there are trees, and this tree must be precious and rare.

So, the tree species obtained from the Golden Continent, the tree cultivated, came in handy, this thing, the whole Ming Dynasty does not have it, you say precious or not, Fang Jifan said how much it costs, how much it is, not convinced, you look for one?

Not only that, but the people of Francois also offered advice to this garden, and they proposed to plant trees on both sides of the road according to the customs of Franco, which can not only prevent the wind, but also add a bit of privacy.

The waiter of the Ministry of Industry came here to inspect, and after seeing it, especially stepping on the antiseptic wood, although the surroundings are still bare, and the garden has not really begun to be built, but also feels that it is quite rare.

This Daming Palace, because of Fang Jifan, has attracted the attention of many people.

After all, such a loser is rare in the world.

In the past, the emperor wanted to repair the palace, but he used the power of the whole world, but Fang Jifan actually did it alone.

Some people still stubbornly believe that this project must be shrinked, and some people think that perhaps, this captain has not shrunk, but is just a little stupid.

This kind of controversy has been in the dust for a while, so much so that many people have come here to watch from afar.

Seeing that countless craftsmen were busy, a few miles away, many workshops used for the construction of Daming Palace also rose from the ground, and there were even chimneys, emitting white smoke, the first guess was suddenly self-defeating, it turned out that it was really not shrinking, it was Fang Jifan's brain disease.

How much does it cost to build such a big project?

It's just that...... Anyway, it was Fang Jifan who took out the silver, and it had nothing to do with others, except that everyone felt sorry for Fang Jifan's father, and the son of the other party's captain, who expressed sympathy, but no one dared to pick out the thorns.

It's just that at this time, the envoys of the Manchurian state have arrived in Beijing.

This Manchurian country, as early as a few years ago, had been defeated by the Franco-machine, and then, the Franco-man, taking the seal of the Manchurian country, falsely claiming to be the envoy of Manchuria, as early as a few months ago, arrived in Guangzhou City, asking for tribute.

This huge team is obviously prepared.

They brought a lot of tribute, that is, they hoped to establish trade with the Ming Dynasty in the form of tribute as the Manchurian state, and at the same time, to explore the reality of the Ming Empire.

The envoy group had just arrived at Honglu Temple to stay, and then handed over their credentials and waited for news from the Ming Emperor.

The envoys seemed very restless, they did not want to stay in the Honglu Temple honestly, many people began to appear in the neighborhood of Jingshi, and even many people tried their best to go to the vicinity of Jingying to investigate.

They not only showed a strong curiosity about this Eastern Empire, but at the same time, they also hoped to use this to find out the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Wang Xizuo, who was building ships in Ningbo, was also summoned to Beijing.

In the Xishan Town Mansion, Fang Jifan directly put a dagger in front of Wang Xizuo.

Wang Xizuo was frightened.

Two years of shipbuilding work made him understand a fact.

In this Ming Dynasty, there is a person who cannot be provoked.

Fang Jifan played with the dagger in his hand, crossed his feet, and said with emotion: "Can you speak Chinese?" ”

"Yes." Wang Xizuo didn't say a word, and nodded.

Fang Jifan said: "Here, it's okay." ”

"Captain Todu's Hongfu." Wang Xizuo showed a flattering smile.

Fang Jifan said: "Your name is Wang Xizuo, do you know what this name means?" ”

Wang Xizuo was indignant: "I know." ”

"So, do you know how our successor treats the fine work?"

Wang Xizuo was about to cry: "No...... I don't know. ”

Fang Jifan said: "I generally like to castrate them, and then give him a hundred women." ”

"......" Wang Xizuo hurriedly said: "Villain, villain has changed, the villain is now building ships for Du Wei, there is no second heart, Du Wei doesn't believe it, you can ask where." ”
