The time has come, and the prime minister's wife glanced at the lady who came, missing Mrs. Hubu Shangshu, Mrs. Bingbu Shangshu, Mrs. Rite Department, and Mrs. Zhenguo Duchess.

Needless to say, the criminal department is still vacant, and the emperor has not yet decided who will be the one.

But Mrs. Lang of the Criminal Department didn't come.

There were four less of the six departments, and only the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Officials came, and her face was a little ugly.

In terms of city planning, the opinions of the six Shangshu are also very important.

"Why didn't Tobe Shangshu come?" The Prime Minister's wife asked.

The maid who went to deliver the post said: "Mrs. Hui, the people from the Hubu Shangshu Mansion said that Mrs. Hubu Shangshu has left the city and has not come back yet." ”

"What about Mrs. Shangshu of the Military Department?"

"Mrs. Bingbu Shangshu and Mrs. Tobe Shangshu went out of the city in the morning. Mrs. Shoshu of the Ministry of Rites is too. ”

When the prime minister's wife heard this, she felt that the three of them must have gone to the outskirts of the city to see the land.

Knowing so much that the county lord of Hui'an had bought all the land, they were also dissatisfied in their hearts!

Thinking of this, she smiled and said to the visitor:

"The chrysanthemums in my house bloomed relatively early today, and they bloomed just right in the past two days, so I called everyone to come and enjoy the chrysanthemums! I think ah! This good thing has to be shared by everyone to be happy, everyone says right? ”

The Duchess of the Protector immediately said: "The Prime Minister's wife is very right, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, and of course everyone is happy when there are good things." Mrs. Prime Minister, this chrysanthemum is blooming so well, it is pleasing to the eye! ”

Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry thought of something, and also smiled: "Yes! Good things should be shared! It's fun to get together! If it's a one-man monopoly! Isn't there no such thing as a lump of harmony now? ”

......

The other ladies chimed in.

The prime minister's wife smiled: "I think so too, such a good chrysanthemum!" Only I appreciate it myself, isn't that a waste?! So there's a good one, I'm thinking about everyone! By the way, everyone also knows that the emperor said that he was preparing to expand the city this morning, right? Did you buy land when you went out of town? ”

"Of course, I still want to go out of the city and buy a piece of land! But I didn't expect that this land was bought by the county lord of Hui'an! ”

"Yes! Me too! Lord Hui'an is amazing! So bold at such a young age! Then a large piece of wasteland, thousands of acres! Bought them all! is worthy of being a person who deals with the land, she is a serf and can't leave the land! But now it's time to make it, this expansion of the city, it is estimated that it is in that area! ”

The Duchess of the Protector said sourly: "It's also good luck for people!" All the way up, that speed is simply faster than Maxima! In the future, all the major families in our capital will be compared!"

Her family is the queen mother's family, and the expansion of the city is such a big thing, and King Jin didn't reveal what they knew at all!

........

Everyone, you say a word, and I say a word of ridicule and sarcasm.

Sour gas!

The Prime Minister's wife shook her head with a smile: "Everyone is arrogant when they say this!" Where to expand the city, isn't this emperor still undecided? Who's to say it has to be to the west? The planning of this city! Everyone's husbands are officials in the court, the pillars of the court, how to plan this city is not our husband, brainstorming and planning! ”

The Duchess of the Protector immediately asked: "The Prime Minister's wife is right, the Prime Minister's wife, where do you think the expansion of the city is good?" ”

Their family has declined, but fortunately the title is hereditary! So as long as you get a little more money, you will have a good time.

"How can I, a woman, know these things? But my lord said that the area to the east is better! The Prime Minister's wife said with a smile.

Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry immediately chimed in: "That's right, the east side is good!" There are not many villages in the east, and the fertile land and dry land are level, so it is convenient to build a city! The Prime Minister has a vision! Worthy of being the prime minister! ”

Others chimed in: "Well, there are some in the eastern wasteland, that's good......"

.....

Seeing that everyone was so cooperative, the Prime Minister's wife smiled and told her and the Prime Minister's thoughtful plans.

"If the ministers of the DPRK and China do not agree to ......"

——

The next day, the morning pilgrimage.

Today, the emperor specially ordered that Nalan Jinnian and the county lord of Hui'an should both attend the early dynasty to discuss the expansion of the city!

There are no two people in the world who are so carefree as officials.

He, the emperor, has to go to the early court every day.

The emperor said to the ministers, "Yesterday I discussed with King Jin about expanding the outer city in the area of the West City Gate. What do you think? ”

Two big words suddenly rose in the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military: Sure enough!

Hubu Shangshu immediately stood up: "The emperor is wise, and it is extremely suitable to expand the city around the West City Gate!" The land is vast and sparsely populated, which is the most suitable! ”

He has calculated, expanding the city outside the west gate, the most money-saving.

Even if it is not enough silver, King Jin can sit idly by!

He already knew yesterday that that area was bought by the county lord of Hui'an!

King Jin is eager to protect his wife, half of the city has been repaired, there is a shortage of silver, and he can't repair it, can King Jin, who is rich enough to rival the country, repair it without silver?

Moreover, the villages in that area were sparse, and he calculated that the silver compensation for the expropriation of the people and land compensation by the imperial court was the least.

Moreover, the county lord of Hui'an has almost bought the wasteland, and the others can only make up their minds about the land in those villages.

If officials or wealthy businessmen buy the land and houses of the villagers at a high price, the people can earn more money, and the court can save a lot of money.

At the most important time, the imperial court will use that piece of land, and it is much more convenient to ask officials and rich merchants for it than from the poor people!

Ahem, at least you can save some money.

The area outside the West City Gate, the only bad thing is that the terrain is a little low, close to the river, and flooded every year.

This raises the terrain, and it costs a lot of silver!

Alas! Alas! Alas~

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also seconded the proposal: "What the Hubu Shangshu said is very true, it is most reasonable to expand the city from the area of the West City Gate!" ”

Han Shoufu, Zhen Guogong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Shilang of the Criminal Department and Shilang of the Ministry of Works, all seconded the proposal.

I think it is most reasonable to expand the city from the West City Gate with the most wasteland!

Prime Minister Li Cheng was the first to stand up and object: "Your Majesty, the lower officials think that the expansion of the West City Gate is inappropriate!" Although there is a lot of wasteland in the west of the city, the western direction is unlucky and not expensive.

The area around the West Gate is a barren land, and it does not prosper! Every autumn and winter, the northwest wind is whistling, and the yellow sand is long! It all depends on the dense forests and wasteland in the west of the city to cover it, so that the capital can be clear and bright!

If the city is built in the west of the city, it will inevitably destroy the wasteland and dense forests, and the capital may become a sand city!! ”

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry also stood up: "Back to the emperor, the lower officials also think that it is inappropriate to build a city in the area of the West City Gate!" The area is low-lying and flooded during the rainy season in spring and summer! The sewage in the city is also discharged to that place, and it is inconvenient to build a city there! Ask the emperor to think twice! ”

……

Many officials also stood up and said the reason why it was inappropriate to expand the city outside the West City Gate!
