Lin Yi's expression was already ancient, but now seeing that King Hu Bin had a different mind from ordinary people, he showed his face to each other, and the two of them drank four glasses of wine in a row before giving up for the time being.

Lin Yi was already drinking a lot, but he couldn't say anything, but what surprised Li Yi was that King Hu Bin had already drunk seven or eight glasses of wine at this time, and his speech and expression had not changed at all, and he was indeed a high roller in wine.

Next, the guest and the host talked very happily, talking about the changes in the capital, King Hu Bin sighed and sighed: "Our emperor is elegant and good Fengtai Pavilion, Qionglin Chihai, in recent years, a lot of palaces and gardens have been built, like what Nanxun Palace, Zhaoyang Palace has been built a year ago, costing countless treasures and jade, and the living house Zhong Yunzhang is to present a gorgeous "Nangong Fu", which is deeply appreciated by the emperor, so he was able to be promoted to three levels in a row, and was promoted to the middle scholar under the six products. ”

"Huh! Upgrading to three levels in a row with one article is rare since the founding of the country. Oh! I've heard that Master Lee and Chung Yoon-zhang are close friends, and you should be happy for him if he can be promoted. ”

Li Yi's heart moved, but he still couldn't figure out the intention of King Hu Bin's words, so he had to say vaguely: "Yun Zhang's thinking is quick and talented, and a mere resignation should not be under his words." As for the construction of two temples in Miyagi, I think it is also a proper meaning. ”

"Anyway, since the founding of our Han Dynasty, we have been busy resisting Chu in the north and resisting Fujian in the east, so the construction of the palace is not complete, it really needs to be improved, otherwise it is quite incommensurate with the image of our great country, I don't know if Brother Hu thinks so."

King Hu Bin was stunned, glanced at Li Yi in surprise and said: "I remember that when Lord Li was the imperial historian of Jingcha, he always opposed the emperor's construction of pavilions, buildings, palaces and pavilions. Why is it now uncharacteristically supporting such extravagance and waste? You must know that there are many people who oppose this! ”

Li Yi smiled happily and said, "What Brother Hu said is true, but this time and that time. At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, all industries withered, the people lived in poverty, and the national foundation was not yet complete. In addition, with the neighboring countries around us, intending to deceive our weakness and cut them down, how can we sit idly by and watch the chaos and rejoice in peace! Therefore, at that time, I also vigorously stated my own opinions and denounced its disadvantages, but fortunately the emperor was wise, which made my dynasty have the pros and cons of the revolution. ”.

"And now, our Han and neighboring trade is prosperous, all industries are prosperous, especially overseas trade exchanges are unimpeded, the treasury is full, and the people are gradually becoming rich."

"Since the country is rich in finances, if you are blindly frugal and mean to the palace, how can you show the demeanor of our Han Dynasty. In my opinion, as long as it is not extravagant, and it is not consumed in the public treasury, there is nothing wrong with proper luxury. ”

King Hu Bin shook his head with a wry smile, nodded astringently, and said, "Hehe! I really didn't expect it! In less than two years since Mr. Li left Beijing, his concept has changed like this. However, Master Li did not agree with his words. When thinking about it is not easy to come by, how can it be effective for extravagance. ”

"Lord Li should also know that the so-called upward and downward effect, there is the emperor in front of the example, how can officials and rich households at all levels not follow suit, in this way, my Han everyone is competing with each other, the rich are richer, the poor are poorer, and then the rich and poor families are angry at each other, and the contradictions between the government and the people are numerous, and the struggle between the rich and the poor will inevitably become more and more intense, if it provokes a civil uprising, it is not known! Master Li must not be taken lightly. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but admire this unstellar King Hubin in his heart. In this Southern Han Kingdom, where commerce and trade are developed and singing and dancing are peaceful, King Hu Bin is a sober person. As he said, although the Han Dynasty is prosperous and wealthy on the surface, the gap between the rich and the poor in society is getting wider and wider, and this is a problem that cannot be solved at present. The people have already accumulated considerable resentment, and if one is not handled properly, I am afraid that there will be a danger of overthrowing the country!

Li Yi sighed leisurely and said: "Brother Hu has seen thousands of miles, Li Yi really admires it. How can you not know these hidden worries that you are talking about? It's just that this situation has been deeply rooted, and if you want to change course, I'm afraid it won't happen overnight! ”

King Hubin shook his head with deep sympathy and said: "This kind of chaos cannot be rectified by manpower, and it cannot be done by a wise and brave person." Lord Zhao had this possibility, but his reign was short-lived, and now he is in trouble, where is there such a person now? It's really worrying! ”

Speaking of this, King Hu Bin changed the topic and said: "I saw a few days ago, there is a busy construction situation outside Ningzhou City, I don't know what to do?" Is it also to emulate the capital to build a large number of buildings? ”

Li Yi smiled slightly and said: "It's true that the construction is large, but it is mainly for the expansion of Ningzhou City. The envoy also saw that the current city of Ningzhou was too small to meet the growing living requirements of the people and the needs of sustainable economic development. ”

"We are in the vast Yunnan, with Ningzhou as the center, radiating to the surrounding neighboring countries. If Ningzhou City can be built into an economic, trade and cultural center at the intersection of Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou and Yunnan, it will inevitably greatly promote the rapid development of Yunnan in all aspects, and in the end it will be beneficial to the common people. ”

King Hubin thought thoughtfully, and then said: "This kind of idea is good, but the expansion of the new city is not trivial, and it is definitely not an overnight thing. Whether land requisition and demolition can be recognized by the local people alone is already quite a headache. In addition, the cost of funds is huge, and it cannot be built in three or five years. I also know that Master Li has a far-sighted vision, but if he can't do what he can, I'm afraid he will be burdened by then! ”

Li Yi nodded solemnly, and hurriedly asked Lin Yi to explain to him in detail the plan for the expansion of Ningzhou City in Yunnan.

By the time the banquet was over, all the people present were already slightly drunk. And although King Hu Bing drank a lot of wine, he couldn't stand the toast in turn, and at the end of the whole banquet, he was almost untenable, and finally Li Yi sent someone to send him back to the post house to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Yi and Lin Jin personally accompanied King Hu Bin to the expansion site outside Ningzhou City. The current expansion work is mainly focused on infrastructure, so facilities such as sewers, culverts, sewage pipes, and wells are already taking shape. In particular, the main sewer, which is two meters wide and three meters high, and is paved with blue-striped stone and cement, immediately attracted the eye of King Hubin.
