Wu Mei smiled and grabbed Li Zhi's arm, pulled Li Zhi to the sand table again, and then pointed to the sand table and explained: "Look at it again, what is the difference between this and the previous one?" ”

"If you don't look at it, I won't agree to it anyway, it's just nonsense." Li Zhi's anger did not subside, as if he was angry, and his eyes did not glance at the sand table at all.

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi, who was becoming more and more "willful", with a smile, and had no choice but to sigh and say softly: "Now that Li Hong has changed his strategy, the city wall will not be demolished." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Mei saw Li Zhi turn his head and asked in surprise, "Don't dismantle it?" That is, if he doesn't expand Chang'an City, what will he do if he sends a sand table over? ”

"Add another outer city, so that Chang'an forms the outer city, the middle city and the imperial city, and now Chang'an City and the imperial city keep the curfew unchanged, but the outer city will no longer have a curfew, and the entire Qujiang Pool is also included in the ...... of the city."

"Although there are more people in Chang'an City today, it is ...... What the hell is he trying to toss? How to build such a large city, how to guard against foreign enemies? Li Zhi shook his head, and his gaze finally fell on the sand table.

I saw that on the sand table, the city walls of the entire Chang'an City were well preserved, and on the periphery were simple city walls and various houses or buildings, which were the same as the east and west cities, and the two more open trade markets were divided.

Even including the relocation of some temples, the expansion of Qujiang Pond, etc., the entire Chang'an City looks more magnificent on the sand table.

Compared with these buildings, what surprised Li Zhi even more was that the layers of two-story small buildings were distributed on the south, east and west sides of the outer city of Chang'an, each area was like an exquisite garden, and those small buildings were more like pearls inlaid inside.

Each small building is independent, compared with the houses with several families and a large yard in the courtyard of ordinary people in Chang'an, which obviously increases the privacy and independence, and small gardens are also mined before and after.

Looking at such an architectural model, Li Zhi was a little demented, and even wanted to have such an exquisite house.

Following Li Zhi's gaze, Wu Mei's eyes also focused on these chic houses, and explained to Li Zhi: "These houses are expensive, not ordinary people can move in at will, all the houses in the outer city, the people in the middle city can replace the original houses, and there are even preferential ......." ”

"Then what if you still want to keep the original house and want to live in such a chic small building?" Li Zhi looked intently at the buildings, looked at the wide road and asked.

"Spend money on it." Wu Mei said simply.

"To whom?" Li Zhi's mind turned, if he didn't know Li Hong's little trick to make a fortune all these years, it would be really in vain.

"Whoever pays will naturally give to whom." Wu Mei's eyes also sparkled.

"So who's going to pay now?" Li Zhi continued to ask.

"Bai Chun, Lanling and others have rushed to buy shares, the Royal Bank, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, and the construction of the entire outer city is dominated by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, but the Royal Bank is the bulk of the money, Lanling and Bai Chun want to buy shares, and I heard that they have not yet negotiated with the Royal Bank." Wu Mei continued.

"Isn't Bai Chun the mastermind behind the Royal Bank? What else is she going to do with it? Lanling them, these years with the Royal Bank ....... ”

"I don't know, but it is said that there are a lot of disagreements in it, although the Royal Bank is the mastermind behind Bai Chun, but in the name of Taiyi City, but also in the name of Pu Wangfu and East Palace, in short, things are more complicated than I thought." Wu Mei began to calculate how big the profit was.

Taking Taiyi City as an example, it is simply a cornucopia, how much silver has Li Hong earned over the years? Just look at how luxurious Daming Palace is.

Moreover, in recent years, the household tax has been enough to apply the expenses of the imperial court, and there is no need to borrow money from Taiyi City or the Royal Bank, so the household department and the Ministry of Industry have invested in shares, in addition to their supervision, it is more likely that they feel that it is profitable.

"So what does the queen mean ......?"

"You are the emperor now, and everything in the world is yours, but since Li Hong supervised the country on the first day of last year, the financial expenditure of the nine temples and five supervisors of the entire palace has been made by him like the six departments, so that if you spend the annual budget in advance......

"And then I don't have any money? If you want money, you have to borrow it from Li Hong? Want? Li Zhi raised his voice and asked.

"In principle, it's the whole thing."

"And you agreed?"

"I didn't agree, how could I agree to this, but what about later? He will definitely take this step in the future, because this is really effective for the imperial court to save money, if according to Li Hong's decision, this so-called budget expenditure is just spent within a year, then you will get a general budget next year, if you can't spend it, then next year, your budget will be the amount of money spent last year. And...... In order to prevent cheating and making false accounts to show that you have spent your budget, Li Hong will send the household department to jointly check the accounts with Yushitai at the end of each year, so that every penny has nowhere to hide. Don't forget, there is a ...... that no one else can match. Wu Meifang looked away, looked out the window and said.

"I know this, the household has been controlled by him for more than ten years, since he was ten years old, he has not been left behind, and now the household department is basically a student from his Chongwen Palace, so, his set, other government offices do fake accounts, it is difficult to hide from them, but why should I make fake accounts? Why do you have to ask him to give me ......? ”

"What if you do it after Zen, do you still care?"

"How dare he? Even if he becomes the emperor, I am still the emperor, dare not give me money to spend! Li Zhi stiffened his neck and said with a look of course.

Wu Mei looked at him speechlessly, and then said earnestly: "So, no matter what, we have to act now, this decision to expand Chang'an City, you have to agree if you don't agree." ”

Li Zhi's domineering momentum just now gradually covered up, frowning and brushing his beard and looking at Wu Mei for a long time, because of the hot weather, everyone's clothes will not be very thick, and now, the queen still maintains the figure and charm that makes him obsessed, looking up and down at the peerless queen in front of him, and said in a low voice: "What do you mean, take this opportunity to earn us some pension money?" Don't you look at him Li Hong's eyes in the future? ”

"Hong'er's filial piety has always been well known, whether it is for the concubine or you, Lanling, Xincheng, without Li Hong's help, would they be where they are today? The concubine body means that before your Zen throne, you will be in charge to expand Chang'an City. ”

"And then I'll meditate again?" Li Zhi sat down and stroked the thighs under Wu Mei's shirt skirt, thought for a while and said: "I have plans for the Zen position, but I'm afraid that he Li Hong is unwilling to expand Chang'an City now?" I don't want to bear this big rebellious charge, just let him bear it himself, I don't believe it, everyone in this court agrees with his expansion of Chang'an City, so there is no opposition? ”

Wu Mei took away Li Zhi's old hand, got up and sat opposite Li Zhi, sure enough, His Majesty now seems to be tired of life in the court, and is very satisfied with the current life, it is really embarrassing for him to let him return to the court, but the Tang Emperor is too unambitious!

"What the hell do you mean? I have to ...... The last dynasty is in charge? Li Zhi looked at the somewhat dissatisfied queen, this was the case when she was in power, once there was something that did not suit her wishes, she could only live in Zichen Hall or other concubines, and Penglai Hall would no longer welcome herself.

It's the same now, the old husband and wife, the temper and temperament have long been thorough, and when he saw Wu Mei sitting opposite, he knew that he didn't want to return to the court, which made the queen unhappy again.

"How dare the concubine force you, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Since you don't want to return to the court to govern, then the concubine thinks of a second way. Wu Mei said lightly.

Li Zhi understands that Wu Mei will eventually end up, and he still hopes that he can leave a merit in the history books before the Zen throne, but in his opinion, his merits are about to surpass the first emperor, and it should be stopped.

Moreover, what the queen means is that she hopes that the huge profits after the expansion of Chang'an City will not be divided by Li Hong and his group, and she just wants to get a piece of the pie.

Therefore, in addition to being in charge of the government himself, Li Zhi didn't think that there was any other way to let the queen get the maximum profit from the expansion of Chang'an City, so he asked: "Then what other good way do you have?" If you can't just look for him, why bother ....... ”

"As a parent, the concubine is the queen of the world, you don't bother to look for him, is the concubine willing to look for him?" Wu Mei glanced at Li Zhi on the other side angrily, looking at the relaxed appearance of watching the play, Wu Mei was angry for no reason, and then said as if talking to herself: "I remember that Li Hong said a few days ago that Datang can't have only one royal bank, if it keeps being like this, sooner or later one day it will lose its competitiveness, become lazy, and become unpursued, so why not just set up another bank for the concubine?" Isn't it just that you need a lot of gold and other reserves for reserves? Li Hong's filial piety over the years, plus everything in Taifu Temple, and then build a bank to participate in the expansion of Chang'an City as the largest shareholder? ! ”

In the end, the smile on Wu Mei's face became stronger and stronger, the reason why she went so hard was that of course she understood in her heart that a few days ago, on the matter of the Ministry of Industry, she had just coerced Li Hong, and now she is coerced, I am afraid that the little rabbit cub will change the Ministry of Industry.

What's more, this expansion of Chang'an City may be a pit dug by Shang Shuwu Sansi of the Ministry of Works, and Wu Chenghe, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, waiting for the two to be dismissed immediately once they make a mistake.

Therefore, Wu Mei feels that no matter what, this time the matter must not be aimlessly looking for Li Hong, but with the participation of the Royal Central Bank, won't he Li Hong have nothing to say?

At that time, even if Wu Sansi made a mistake, wouldn't he still have the opportunity to say something for them?
