Chapter 156: Defenseless

The site of the palace is located at the foot of Fengzhu Mountain, an extremely quiet and open area.

According to Ye Qiange's previous drawings, his palace covers an area of only twenty acres of land.

When the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites learned of this, they hurried into the palace to face the saint.

Trying his best, Ye Qiange's palace planning is particularly unreasonable.

The point is just two words: too small.

Ye Qiange's forehead was sweating, twenty acres to build a residence, but the area was too small, and in the future generations, he would be pointed out by thousands of people and scolded by thousands of people.

It is in vain to argue with reason.

There was no way, so according to the requirements of the Ministry of Rites, the palace was expanded fourfold to eighty acres.

I thought that was the end of it.

But Xu Yichan, who listened to her, said that she would go to live for a period of time every year.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu listened to it, so he began to make a fuss again.

It is said that the residence of His Majesty needs to be built according to the scale of the palace.

So, with a hook of the brush, eighty acres became one hundred and eighty acres!

It's just crazy, there is wood!

Ye Qiange's eyes were about to fall off.

It can be seen that the treatment of the emperor is not at the same level as the treatment of the Son of Heaven.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt full of malice.

One hundred and eighty acres, compared with the previous twenty acres, an increase of nine times!

Then, Ye Qiange moved his gaze from Zhushan to Fengshan.

Fengzhu Mountain is half maple forest and half bamboo forest, the scenery is beautiful and very pleasant.

The palace covers a large area, and it also has its advantages, you can enjoy the scenery of Fengzhu Mountain.

Ye Qiange took a lot of effort and redrew a drawing.

He is looking forward to what kind of effect will be achieved after the palace is built.

Ye Qiange walked around.

I am quite satisfied with my location.

Tianshui Village has a well-developed water system, except for the endless flowing river on the side of the farmland.

There is also a small river at the foot of Fengzhu Mountain, which originates deep in the mountains.

The river is gentle and clear, passing through Tianshui Village and flowing towards the big river.

With mountains and rivers and convenient transportation, this is a great place to stay.

"Lord Wu, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

Ye Qiange smiled, and saw that Wu Xiang was arranging personnel and building the altar, and he was busy sweating like rain, so he couldn't help but be grateful.

"The prince is serious, this is a matter within the minister's responsibility, why bother?"

Wu Xiang was very humble, bowed his head and said in a deep voice, not daring to show half of his disrespect.

Ye Qiange nodded, seeing people coming and going, each performing his own duties, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's not easy to do a good job." ”

Wu Xiang's face tightened and he didn't speak.

"Go on, and this king will go ahead."

"Whoa."

After walking a few steps forward, I saw Li Yaoqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who was urging his subordinates to measure the land, sometimes asking people to write it down and mark it.

Seeing Ye Qiange's arrival, Li Yaoqing's face was solemn, "The minister has seen the prince." ”

"No need to be polite."

Ye Qiange waved his hand, "In the past few days, I have worked hard. ”

Ye Qiange's construction of the mansion was in a hurry, although the site was selected in advance, but the news was not revealed.

And Ye Qiange was determined to build it, and it was only after the cement was produced that he confided in the matter.

For a while, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Household began to get busy.

Running like crazy.

They don't dare to slack off.

Ye Qiange is famous among the ministers.

The various ministries were afraid of making Ye Qiange unhappy and suffering retaliation.

Two months ago, what happened in the court is still vivid and fresh in my memory.

Li Yaoqing waved his hand again and again, "The prince is polite, the Ministry of Industry is already in charge of urban construction, civil engineering, and water conservancy, including the construction of the palace's relatives and relatives, and even the mansion of the heroes, and the palace is not only the residence of the prince, but the saint will also come here to live. ”

The corners of Ye Qiange's mouth twitched a few times.

Speaking of which, this king has taken Xu Yichan's light again.

Ay!

The Empress is not here.

The Empress is everywhere again.

Ye Qiange said with a strong smile, "After the palace is built, this king will definitely say a few kind words for the adults in front of His Majesty." ”

Li Yaoqing's eyes lit up, and he bowed again, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Ye Qiange nodded lightly, flicked his sleeves, and walked to the other side.

He was still a little surprised by the arrival of Hubu Shangshu Liping.

Could it be that the Empress wants to fund the construction of the palace?

She defrauded the king of five million taels!

"Chen Liping has seen the prince?"

Li Ping is a young old man in his fifties, with a dark complexion, very lean, looking like an old peasant, and he is quite eye-catching compared to other bloated ministers.

Ye Qiange saw him for the first time.

"You are the one who succeeded Chen Guzhong?"

"It's despicable."

Li Ping was neither humble nor arrogant, seeing Ye Qiange's eyes surprised, he didn't think he was angry, and said with a smile, "The little minister was originally a household servant, in charge of agricultural affairs, and he ran around in the countryside all the year round, the wind and rain were blowing, and the sun was exposed, so he became like this, which made the prince smile." ”

When Ye Qiange heard it, he couldn't help but be in awe.

This is definitely a pragmatist.

Ye Qiange likes to deal with people who do better than they say.

This type of person is relatively simple-minded and has a lot of unique opinions.

"Where, the matter of agricultural politics is the foundation of the country, and it is really my blessing that adults can walk in Qianmo and run around the fields."

Daxu is a big agricultural country through and through.

More than 80 percent of the taxes collected each year come from farmland.

Ye Qiange looked solemn and said extremely seriously.

Li Ping's expression froze, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"The prince praised it falsely."

Ye Qiange shook his head, "This king is not an excuse, now in the court, there are too few people who can be like adults, willing to put down their identities and prejudices, and bury themselves in practical things." ”

He felt that this was not the crux of Da Xu's peculiarity.

This is true for almost every dynasty and every generation.

Above the court, there are scholars who don't know the grains, and scholars who are full of mouths, who are inconsiderate of the people's feelings, and don't know the time of day.

This kind of person is the most useless, and the corpse is just a vegetarian meal, and he also exploits the people and grabs money.

It's unbearable!

Li Ping was stunned at first.

Just a few words made his impression of Ye Qiange change greatly.

The Son of Heaven Shengming, his husband is especially an idle person?!

There was a glint in his eyes, but he didn't say a word.

"My lord is here, I don't know why?"

Ye Qiange calmed down and asked with a frown.

"Go back to the prince." Li Ping said, "Under the orders of His Majesty, all the expenses for the construction of the palace this time will be included in the treasury. ”

Ye Qiange was stunned.

"Is that what Your Majesty really said?"

He swallowed, half-convinced.

Li Ping nodded, that is, yes.

What happened to the Empress?

This wave of care can't be prevented!

The five million taels that have been defrauded of this king should have shrunk by half.

He shrugged, the corners of his mouth hooked.

In this way, the Empress's conscience found that she could not swallow so much silver with her conscience.

His eyes froze, and his words changed, "Lord Li, I heard that the imperial court is going to introduce Champa rice this time, I don't know what your lordship thinks?" ”
