Zhu Houzhao was interested, he began to get carried away, his eyes carefully roamed the map, and the others were inconvenient to make a noise when they saw him like this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The map is too intuitive, and it is precisely because it is clear at a glance that Zhu Houzhao is fascinated.

His gaze fell on the Wa Kingdom, and he couldn't help but say, "I have seen the Nautical Charts of the Wa Kingdom, and it is roughly the same as before, and it turns out that this is their Kyoto...... This desert is so big...... Annan was originally here, when Emperor Wen conquered Annan, after which our Ming army returned with a feather, but unexpectedly it was ...... by such a small country"

He muttered under his breath and took a few steps back, gasping for air.

In the past, when I looked at the map of the Ming Dynasty, I only felt that the Ming Dynasty was so big, it was worthy of being the country of Middle Earth, but now I look at it again, but I found that the Ming Dynasty is just a corner of the country, two capitals and thirteen provinces, which are not big in this world, and several huge empires specially marked by Ye Chunqiu, such as the Mughals and the Ottomans, although not as vast as the Ming Dynasty, but not far behind.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

In fact, to a certain extent, the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty always regarded themselves as the upper country, so their focus was always on the strong neighbors in the north, but looking at such a map, it gave people a feeling that the strong neighbors in the north were nothing more than that.

Zhu Houzhao unconsciously pursed his lips and took a sip of tea, Ye Chunqiu on the side saw this and said with interest: "Your Majesty must be tired, and the ministers will retire." ”

"Go ahead." Zhu Houzhao smiled at Ye Chunqiu, and immediately returned his gaze to the map of all countries.

Ye Chunqiu and Liu Jian withdrew, and after a while, Liu Jin was also 'driven out' and obediently went to the miscellaneous room, and Ye Chunqiu led the ministers to the waiting room.

The edict room is also a big house, located on the fourth floor, the decoration is very elegant, the fireplace in the house has been burning flames, so that this place is also very warm, a few sofas around the fireplace, there are a few children on the side, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Wang Hua four people sit down, others are naturally not good to sit, so they have to stand aside.

That Liu Yu had a personal enmity with Li Dongyang and Ye Chunqiu, and he didn't follow, and went to the public house next door with a few people, Liu Jian sat here comfortably, to a certain extent, he wanted to scold Ye Chunqiu a few words, a good Hanlin waiter, full of food and support, he had to do some strange and obscene things, but after thinking about it carefully, Ye Chunqiu seemed to be impeccable whether it was preaching or his own work.

And the most important thing is that the map came to Liu Jian's mind, the map of all countries, he was not interested, but the two capitals and thirteen provinces were extremely detailed, the prefectures and counties of the world, just in a small map, it was so intuitive, in the future, the cabinet was afraid that it would have to copy a copy, and the Hanlin Academy would also include a copy.

What really made Liu Jian reluctant to teach Ye Chunqiu a lesson was this sofa, the whole person sat up, it seemed that the tiredness of the day was swept away, facing the smokeless warm current in the fireplace, Liu Jian couldn't help but say: "Ye Shixue, how much does the town cost?" ”

Ye Chunqiu stood aside, he couldn't sit, because there were still a few Hanlin beside him, even if Liu Jian let himself sit down and talk, it would inevitably seem abrupt, so he stood and said: "Seven, seven, eighty, eight, about ninety thousand taels, just because many things are new, in fact, if you want to save, you can go lower." ”

Ninety thousand taels, it's really not much, Liu Jian's jaw is very satisfied, if you really want to build a serious palace, I'm afraid that there are no tens of millions of taels that can't be beaten, in fact, this is just a small head, the real big head is worshipped.

Emperor Lao Tzu wants to repair the garden, most of the materials needed to be prepared by the local officials, this is not counted in the cost, such as wood, to be transported from Yunnan, the Mu family in Yunnan and do not know how much manpower to be levied to cut wood, and then have to order someone to send to the Beijing Division, and such as the flower stone, the flower stone in the south of the Yangtze River is good, but also the state and county officials in the procurement of the eunuch under the supervision, apportionment to the next to complete.

Right now...... Everything is gone, only 90,000 taels, interesting!

Liu Jian's thick eyebrows stretched out, and he said with a smile: "Yes, this room is warm and comfortable, this is probably the same reason as the soldiers are not expensive, silver, spent on the blade, with thought, not only can save money, but also very comfortable." ”

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but say: "Liu Gong praises falsely." ”

Xie Qian sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, but couldn't help glaring at him: "Are you praising you when you are Duke Liu?" ”

"Uh...... Isn't it a boast? Ye Chunqiu looked confused.

Wang Hua had no choice but to smile: "Spring and Autumn, don't be presumptuous, although Liu Gong is ...... Well...... In this way, but the real intention is to count on you to take care of it. ”

Liu Jian waved his hand and said, "You have all misunderstood the old man's meaning, the old man is praising him, what can't be praised?" If things are done well, do you still have to scold? In fact, we are the people who are Zaifu in the eyes of others, but what about it, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, in fact, it is a big housekeeper, there is a sentence called it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, governing the country is nothing more than the way of the economy, over the years, the old man also said something that should not be said, the ills of the court have accumulated day by day, and it has become more and more serious, just say that the palace is repaired, when Emperor Wen repaired the Forbidden City, it was just a pillar, how much did it cost? It's just a mere three or four taels of silver, which is not a valuable thing in itself, and now? But it's three or four hundred taels, scared, the value has risen a hundred times, you talk about it yourself, how many of them are up and down, think about it, it's really shocking, but what can be done? Liu Jin looked at the raging flames in the fireplace, sighed and continued: "It has been one hundred and twenty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it has become more and more extravagant and extravagant...... Actually, there is nothing wrong with it, but this kind of extravagant expenditure is still terrifying. ”

Shaking his head, Liu Jian was a little tired, but the General Administration Department sent today's recital to the waiting room.

Liu Jian had no choice but to cheer up and said: "Okay, what is going on in this world is just a ball of threads, which can't be explained and can't be sorted out, we, the big housekeepers, still have to continue to do things, let's take the music." ”

Ye Chunqiu and everyone withdrew, and the cabinet scholars voted in the room.

After dinner in the evening, Ye Chunqiu went to the waiting room again as usual, this time because there were only four cabinet ministers, so Liu Jian nodded at him: "Sit down." ”

Ye Chunqiu sat on the sofa and gossiped with a few ministers.

There is a special bedroom here, which is for the cabinet ministers who accompany the driver to stay, Ye Chunqiu is the counselor of the Zhenguo Mansion, so naturally there is also a place for him to stay. (To be continued.) )
