"It makes sense, if the former Sui understood this truth and paid the people who built the canal and the palace, it would be a different scene in comparison! That's why you agree and support the construction of the palace. Li Shimin sighed.

"That's true, the money in the father's treasury, piled up is useless, take it out to build a palace, the people of the world will benefit a lot, most of this money will return to the treasury, but in a different place, and the father is equivalent to getting a palace for nothing, and the people have not complained, they will only praise you!" Feng Daiwen explained with a smile.

"In this way, I should be happy that I have lost the silver taels of my inner library!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

"That's right, the inner treasury to the treasury is just a change of place, but the left hand is changed to the right hand." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"Okay, even if you're right, if the transformation of Chang'an is completed, my inner library will still be empty, and I will settle accounts with you when there is no entry, hum!" Li Shimin snorted coldly and said.

This! This is simply unreasonable!

Well, as a strong emperor, he wouldn't have made much sense, let alone with his son-in-law.

…………

A huge shed has just been built in the eastern and western cities, where many large and small architectural models are displayed, and color renderings drawn by the Yan Liben brothers are also pasted on the outside.

Every day, a large number of people, businessmen, and even nobles come to watch, and Feng Daiwen specially trained more than ten officials to explain to the people.

And Li Shimin knew that Feng Daiwen was busy with affairs, so he deliberately transferred nearly 100 low-level officials from various departments, and the junior officials obeyed the arrangement at any time.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Industry became a temporary sales department, and a large number of businessmen came to inquire about the price every day, and those who participated in the banquet and knew the details directly used horse-drawn carriages to pull boxes of copper coins into the Ministry of Industry, and directly asked how big the store was needed, so that people could estimate how much money they needed.

There were also a lot of Hu merchants who came to patronize, and the same wealthy people brought gold and silver, and asked to buy shops, Feng Daiwen treated them equally, and those who came did not refuse, but planned for the same industry, so as not to make the same industry unevenly distributed, after all, everyone had to make money.

If there is a single company that is very profitable, but it may be more expensive, if there are two or three companies, there will be healthy competition, but if there are more than three companies together, then there will be people who have a bad business.

Of course, Feng Daiwen can ignore these at all, and only need to make the first money, but this is not conducive to future development and is easy to lose trust, so everyone who comes to buy will tell them how many stores of the same type are in front of them, where the location is, and it is up to them to decide whether to continue to buy.

In just a few days, nearly 200 shops in the eastern and western cities were sold out, and they had to expand according to the predetermined plan, and according to the new plan, the two cities will become the two major commercial centers of Chang'an in the future, five times the size of the original place.

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that the streets are wider and the shops are larger, and the new bazaar has not only shops, but also warehouses, which are also very well built, all made of masonry, not only to prevent fire and theft, but also to prevent insects and moisture.

…………

In two years, Li Shimin's inner treasury had an income of 5 million yuan, and this time all of them were used to build palaces, and the national treasury transferred 2 million yuan to carry out the first phase of Chang'an City, which can be said to be a huge project.

Because there are many materials that are from the imperial court, and only the cost is paid, especially the wall tiles, tiles, and cement, which are the most used, most of which belong to the imperial court or the royal family.

In the past two years, many prisoners have gathered in Guanzhong, and according to the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, they will not be allowed to eat for dinner, although they are using labor reasonably, but they are not allowed to rest.

In many cases, there is no other business, and the government will arrange a part of the road to be repaired, so now the traffic of the entire Kannai Road is the best, and there are many roads distributed from Chang'an, leading to the periphery, the road is not only built with cement stones, but also wide, and there are transplanted evergreens on both sides of the road, if you just look at the road, you will think that you will return to the afterlife.

A steady stream of materials and materials gathered from all over the city to Chang'an City, and more people were firing bricks and tiles and quarrying in kilns near Chang'an.

There are already ten square markets in the vicinity of the east and west cities that have been completely pushed to the emptiness, and now a large number of people are digging the foundation, and the excavated soil will be used to build street isolation, street gardens, etc., Feng Daiwen is determined to build a modern city, which must be spacious and beautiful.

Every day, a lot of building materials are brought into the city, turned into foundations, houses, and over time, more and more bricks and tiles are fired, faster and faster.

Houses on both sides of the road leading to the outside of the city along the eastern and western cities have also begun to be removed, and if the supply of materials can keep up, Feng Daiwen plans to continue to expand the scale, and there are enough people, what is lacking is materials.

In winter, many people have nothing to do, and the most important thing in Chang'an City is manpower, but the first to recruit are people with a skill, and there are only a part of the small workers, so many people are paying attention to the progress, hoping to continue to expand and recruit more people.

After all, working not only provides free food, but also considerable wages, and working for a few months is almost the same as a year's income from farming.

The design of the original palace group has been completed, but the palace is strictly selected, and the demand is also very large.

…………

With the arrival of the first batch of timber delivered from Lingnan, Feng Daiwen's furniture factory was officially launched, and he has one of the best carpenters at the moment - a native of Taijia Village.

The identity of the people of Taijia Village is now different from the past, there are several people in the Ministry of Industry, and the craftsman workshop is a petty official and a craftsman; Everyone else is a master craftsman in the shipyard, and their worth has doubled, plus Feng Daiwen has always valued it, and the treatment given is also quite generous, some of the old and young in the village don't want to leave Lingnan, and the others have settled in the villa of Wannian County, Chang'an.

This time, Feng Daiwen dispatched more than a dozen people with good skills to help, and cheekily took 20% of the shares of Captain Chi Gong's family and borrowed dozens of people who knew carpentry, which can be regarded as a compensation for Wei Chi's family, and the remaining 30% was also given to Yu Chi Baolin, which is considered an entry in the Feng family.

Wei Chigong and his wife were very satisfied with this, and even with Wei Chigong, they didn't put on an ugly face to Feng Daiwen, but this was not a very good thing for him.

Because Wei Chigong is now openly and openly putting on the attitude of an elder, whether it is in front of or behind, even if Feng Daiwen is unhappy, there is nothing he can do, after all, this is a fact.

November 18, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is advisable to marry.
