Seeing that Shang Yang and Yu Wenkai were going to get the money, Lu Bowen, the new left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, was suddenly a little moved.

Lu Bowen knew that he was a servant of the ministry, with little qualifications, and he couldn't compare to these old guys in the court, but now seeing that everyone was asking for money, Lu Bowen suddenly thought of a way to improve his reputation.

Learning from Zhang Jian's tone, Lu Bowen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now that the imperial court treasury is full, should you consider the matter of giving money to officials?" ”

"What do you say?" Wang Mang raised his eyebrows.

"Since the beginning of this year, although the imperial court has given a lot of money to the officials, but speaking of which, they are all arrears of wages in the past, and Weichen's idea is that since the imperial court has money now, why not send this year's Yulu together, and let the officials work harder for the imperial court after they are fed and clothed. Lu Bowen said.

"If you don't pay for it, everyone won't work. Wang Yongji taunted again.

"Lord Wang, that's not what I said, although we don't pay money, everyone also works, but if we pay money, everyone will definitely do a better job. Lu Bowen said.

"Hehe, excuse!" Wang Yongji arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to give money to officials, the ministers have nothing to say, but if you give money to officials, shouldn't you pay enough to the soldiers on the front line?"

"It's all here to take advantage of the chaos, right?" Li Hong said unhappily: "Didn't you just send money some time ago? What do you want so much money for? Wait a minute, the court won't owe you everyone." ”

"I have to think that just by taking advantage of the money, I can solve a little bit for everyone. Lu Bowen said with a straight face: "I don't mean anything else, don't think about it too much, Lord Li." ”

"You can't do anything else. Li Hong looked up at Wang Mang and said: "Your Majesty, the household department currently has a total of 4.26 million taels of silver, of which 1 million taels is for the Ministry of War to quell the rebels in the south, 700,000 taels for the Shang Lord to dig the river, 800,000 taels for the Ministry of Industry to build straight roads, and now there are 1.76 million taels of silver, please Your Majesty Mingjian." ”

"Hmm. Wang Mang raised his eyebrows, this money really didn't need to be spent, but he looked at Lu Bowen, and then at Wang Yongji, and said in his heart that others asked for money, and he promised it, these two are also asking for money here, and the reason for asking for it is right, and he has no reason not to give it, so he thought about it and said: "In this way, give 200,000 taels of silver to the military department and the official department, is there more." ”

Lu Bowen and Wang Yongji looked overjoyed, and kowtowed: "Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!"

The two really didn't expect that asking for money would be so smooth, although the money they asked for was not much, but no matter how small the mosquito was, it was not meat.

Seeing that the first to speak was about to get the money, all the ministers in the court suddenly showed eager expressions, and the big guys all thought that His Majesty seemed to be in a good mood today, and it should be good to ask for money, so they all rushed to ask for money.

Hum!

At this moment, Wang Mang snorted coldly, and then looked at the ministers and said: "I know what you are all thinking, but no, it seems that there are still a million taels of silver in the household department, but according to the speed at which the court spends money, to be honest, without spending, I can only tell the big guy here that there will be silver, and it will be scattered today!"

The ministers suddenly showed disappointment, but Wang Mang was not interested in continuing to fight with them, and glanced at Deng Fang, who was standing on the side, and Deng Fang immediately stood up and said loudly: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat from!"

Wang Mang's words were put down, even if the ministers still had something, they would not run out to say it at this time.

After the court, Li Lan had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw Wang Mang for the first time, he greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Shangyuan Palace, and the Queen Mother asks Your Majesty to come over and talk about it." ”

"The Queen Mother is looking for me?" Wang Mang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know what the Queen Mother is looking for?"

"I don't know," Li Lan shook his head and said, "The minion inquired about it on the side, it seems to be a happy event." ”

"Happy event?" Wang Mang's expression moved, and he suddenly thought of something, and led Li Lan and the others to the Shangyuan Palace quickly.

The middle door of Shangyuan Palace was wide open, and Wang Mang was waiting for Wang Mang at the door in a row like a flower, and Wang Mang sighed for a while, and unconsciously remembered that when he first came to Shangyuan Palace, he was arrogant like a flower and jade, and now what's the matter, with the enhancement of his strength, he has to wait here respectfully.

Sure enough, striking iron still needs its own hardness, and the ancients did not deceive me!

Jin Hua stepped forward to support Wang Mang and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is already waiting in the house." ”

"Well, lead the way. Wang Mang nodded, his expression was indifferent, and now, the flowers and jade were no longer in his eyes, and in the entire Shangyuan Palace, only Shangguan Wan'er was worthy of his high look.

Shangguan Wan'er sat on the soft couch with an elegant expression, saluted Wang Mang, waved her hand, took out a map from her cuff, presented it to Wang Mang, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the Jardine Garden was officially completed yesterday!"

Wang Mang's expression changed, he suddenly stood up from his seat, looked at Bao Xi's cold face and said, "But really?"

"Yes. Bao Xi nodded and said: "With the support of silver, the construction period of Yiheyuan is progressing very quickly, and now there are a lot of things happening in the court, and no one will stop the construction period, just yesterday, Yiheyuan was officially completed, and His Majesty can go to see it at any time." ”

Saying that, Bao Xi unfolded the map in his hand, which was also the map of Chang'an City that Wang Mang showed for the first time, on the map, a total of forty-eight buildings were scattered on the map, these buildings were originally a little independent, but at the geographical center of these buildings, a building that did not exist suddenly appeared, directly connecting these buildings that seemed to be unrelated.

Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward, pointed to these dozens of buildings, and said proudly: "This is the imperial realm built with the wisdom and financial resources of the two generations of kings of Great Qin!"

In the realm of the emperor, this is the eternal inheritance in the mouths of Wang Mang and Shangguan Wan'er.

The Imperial Realm is actually a formation, this formation uses the earth qi of the entire Chang'an City as the cornerstone of the formation operation, and these earth qi is guided out through the buildings on these maps, some of these buildings have been built for a hundred years, and some have been built in the past ten years, but without exception, they all have the effect of absorbing the earth qi.

Originally, these buildings absorbed the earth qi, stored the earth qi, and dispersed but did not condense, but with the completion of the last link of the Yihe Garden, all the earth qi could be condensed into one piece, or all of them could be condensed into the Yihe Garden.

With Yiheyuan as the center of the formation, the earth qi of the entire Chang'an City is directly connected through these seven seven and forty-nine buildings, and the power is unpredictable.

Bao Xi said on the side: "Chang'an's land is inexhaustible, the emperor's domain is not broken, the emperor's domain is not broken, and Chang'an City will never fall!"

Speaking of this, even if Bao Xi has always looked as indifferent as snow, she can't help but show a trace of excitement, this is the formation she built with her own hands, even if she is indifferent, she can't help but feel excited.

Shangguan Wan'er took out a box from her cuff, handed it to Wang Mang, and said: "This is the control core of the entire Imperial Domain, Your Majesty controls him, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Imperial Domain, Your Majesty, please accept it!"
