Chapter 778: Subtle Change

Beijing, the city that never sleeps, there is no curfew here, although it is late at night, but the prosperous section can still see pedestrians, in addition to those flower buildings, there are many more 24-hour tea houses and restaurants near Qianmen Street, and only in this area there is, just because it is close to the Shenwang Building.

But everyone in the capital knows that the most prosperous area of Beijing is Qianmen Street, and the ultimate reason is because the Shenwang Tower is located here, in the Shenwang Tower, you can not only buy all kinds of rare luxury goods, but also see and hear all kinds of news about the military situation and political actions from here, because here is always the first time to update the Ming Military News and the Ming Daily.

Of course, the Shenwang Building also has a popularity absorption machine, that is, the big screen, always rolling some videos, there are commodity advertisements and songs for later generations, and there are also combat videos of the Ming Army sent by the Military Discipline Department, but no matter which one always firmly catches the attention of the people, not to mention that there are irregular free performances.

After all, there are always curious people here to wander around day and night, and the merchants from the north and south are famous for pilgrimage, so the Qianmen Street headed by the Shenwang Building is on fire, and several flower buildings are full day and night, and even have a teahouse tavern that does not close for 24 hours, and even a night market has gradually formed here, with all kinds of snacks and snacks.

However, in the past few days, the Holy Land God King Building has become even more popular, because a draft conference jointly organized by the God King Mansion and the royal family is being auditioned, attracting hundreds of people to watch every day.

The business hours of the Shenwang Building usually close at 7 o'clock in the evening, and it will only be slightly postponed on days when there are performances, but because of the recent talent show, it usually closes at 9 o'clock.

Even so, it is already late at night, and the lights in the Beauty Pavilion are still bright, and the five major shopkeepers are busy with a desk in each corner, and there are too many things to be busy with recently.

"Sister Lin, I saw a house in the north of the city, which happened to be used as a women's college building, and now I am waiting for you to approve the money for me", Gu Hengbo put down the pen in his hand and looked up at Li Lin and said.

"The price of the house is a bit high, I'll send someone to talk about it tomorrow, don't worry, the girls' school is an important matter told by the prince, and my sister won't hold you back!" Li Lin smiled slightly! Gu Hengbo nodded and smiled, "I owe you money when everything is ready, sister, I have already contacted many big families, and they agreed to send their girls to school."

"It's not okay to be a big family", Li Lin put down the pen and looked serious, "You understand the original intention of the prince!" ”

"I understand, but at the beginning, there must be these big families to take the lead, my sister can rest assured, my sister has a certain number in her heart!" Gu Hengbo stood up with a smile, walked behind Li Lin, and reached out to help him pinch his shoulder.

"Hey, I really envy Sister Gu, how easy things are in the women's hospital, I knew why I bothered to bring the draft matter over", Kou Baimen rubbed his waist with a sad face: "I didn't expect so many trivial things."

"You can raise the baby with peace of mind, isn't this matter taken care of by Yuanyuan and Yujing sisters, you just worry about it", Gu Hengbo said with a smile.

"But I'm idle, and I can't be idle," Kou Baimen said with a smile.

"If you can't be idle, think more about how to help the prince make money, and save more money for your son," Bian Yujing quipped, and the girls laughed.

"A few sisters, don't make fun of me, but I've really figured out how to make money recently," Kou Baimen said seriously.

"Oh, how's that?" Li Lin asked with a smile.

"The matter of the draft, I also heard what the prince said before, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, the prince once said that with the progress of the draft, those players will slowly have their own fans...... When the time comes, we can make some special votes and let those fans buy votes......" Kou Baimen gushed for a long time, in fact, the general idea is the same as voting for future generations, but later generations use online voting, what she means is to let Lu Wang make some special votes for the people to buy and vote for their favorite players, which is much the same, anyway, it is all about collecting money.

"Sister, this method is good, Li Lin and several beautiful women all nodded yes", Kou Baimen, who was praised by several sisters, immediately smiled.

"Actually, I've been thinking about one thing these days," Li Lin took a sip of tea and continued: "The prince asked me to purchase a batch of clothes, shoes and socks before, and I have been running all over the tailor shops in the capital in the past few days...... But that large amount of money can't be completed in a short time."

"So I'm trying to imagine if we can set up a garment factory by ourselves, so that the procurement cost can be reduced a lot, and it can also provide a lot of jobs, and as the prince said, it will stimulate the industrial economy......" Li Lin listened to several beauties in a fog

"Since my sister has a heart, let's do it," Bian Yujing said.

"Well, the garment factory needs a factory, recruits manpower, and most importantly, needs a lot of equipment, such as those sewing machines, and workers also have to be trained, and this is a big expense, I don't know if the prince approves it." Li Lin said with his fingers crossed.

"That's not simple, just find someone from the secret service or the military discipline department to send a message to the prince and ask", Gu Hengbo said and sighed slightly: "Your things are all done well, I have to hurry up with this women's college, I heard that the emperor has issued an order, and I have to open a free school in the capital, I have to rush in front of the government......"

"How can the yamen do things so fast", Kou Baimen said with a smile: "The yamen has to be busy with such things a day, and how did I hear that the emperor issued several holy decrees a few days ago, in addition to setting up public schools, but also codifying the laws of the Ming Dynasty from the new, and saying that it is a capital crime to legislate human trafficking and human trafficking, and I heard that the palace has recently sent out many palace maids and eunuchs."

"Yes, yes, the royal family has had a lot of things to do lately," Bian Yujing continued, "I also heard that the royal family will build a recuperation home for those eunuchs sent out, and the harem will no longer accept eunuchs, even palace maids must be at least 15 years old before they can enter the palace, and they must leave the palace after the age of twenty-five......"

"What" Gu Hengbo interrupted him with a smile, "What royal money to build a rest home, it is our prince who pays to build it, and those palace maids you are talking about will be hired in the future......" Gu Hengbo began to gush endlessly.

"Sister Gu, these are what the queen told you, you have been very close to the queen recently, and you have entered the palace today!" Kou Baimen asked curiously with a raised face.

Gu Hengbo smiled, very proud, "You know that my sister is going to run a women's college, of course you have to find a big family to support her, who is the biggest in the capital, of course the royal family, the queen has agreed to send a few little princesses to school once my women's college is completed."

"Ah, isn't that sister's academy famous," the girls laughed!

"It's not mine, it's the prince's women's college!" Gu Hengbo corrected! "Women's Branch of the Seminary"

In the early morning, the weather was slightly cold, and it was wet outside Luzhou City, I don't know if it was frost or dew, but it didn't rain anyway.

The first comprehensive military base of the Ming Army, located in the north of Luzhou City, has slowly awakened, the military horn in the camp sounded, followed by the sound of drills, and at the same time, the craftsmen and laborers who hurried to work from outside Luzhou City had sent a long line at the gate of the camp.

Although the land along the river almost belongs to the expropriation of terra nullius, it does not cost much, but the construction of the camp is from the wages of laborers and the purchase of construction materials are all large sums of money.

Of course, the wages are only the relatively high point of some skilled craftsmen, and most of the laborers are still tens of thousands of prisoners of the Qing army, which are all cheap, and they can be given a little pocket money for food and drink.

The construction of the camp is made of contemporary civil engineering and masonry, and in order to promote the local industry, these building materials are not purchased from later generations except for steel bars, all of which are procured locally, and even the cement factory is newly built.

After a short month of construction, the walls of the camp have been completed, and now it is time to divide the construction of buildings, and many local architects are busy planning, how to design the military hospital, how to design the military factory, where the military academy should be placed, the military prison, the military headquarters......

Soon, this area of more than 200 acres of open space along the river has been planned, a number of areas are under intense construction, there is no shortage of modern construction equipment on the site, such as mixers, excavators, cranes, chainsaws, etc., anyway, this is still a large construction site.

Of course, in addition to laborers and prisoners in this large construction site, there are also a large number of garrisons, especially now that the battle in Huoshan is basically over, the Second Army, which was ordered to withdraw to the camp, has also returned and is resting in the camp.

In the southwest corner of the camp near the Sili River next to the grove set up a number of tents, this is the station of the guard battalion and the chariot battalion, not far from them is the office building of the military discipline department, which is also the first building in the whole camp, it is said that the carpenters with the help of chainsaws only a week to build a two-story wooden building for the military discipline department, handsome.

Ma Han got up very early, not because he was active, but because he had to get up early for morning exercises, and at this moment, he was brushing his teeth with Xia Yi and a few people with a water cup, and looked boredly at the phalanx of soldiers who were practicing in the distance.

"Hey, look" At this moment, Hao Lei pointed into the distance, Ma Han and a few people looked along, only to see a few people walking out of the office building of the Military Discipline Department, led by Xie Xinghua, hurriedly walking towards the camp gate, followed by nearly twenty people.

"Looking at King Xie's formation, I don't know which unlucky guy didn't burn the incense", Ma Han laughed.

"Every day, just that little thing, the battle is about to be over, and I start to catch violations of law and discipline, I haven't seen him idle for many days, I don't know ...... today" Wang Chao answered next to him and suddenly his eyes glared, and sure enough, Ma Han and several people also looked like a trance, their eyes were also open, and they gloated: "There is a good show to watch now."
