Shen Baoxu has already said this, if Qingji does not accept He's bi, it will be rude.

However, the fact that Chu Guo sent so many precious things in one go, including the priceless He's Bi, couldn't help but make Qingji feel suspicious in his heart.

What is the idea of the Chu people?

"The king, the minister is here, and on the order of the Duke of Chu, he will give the skilled craftsmen of 2,000 people in the Chu State to the State of Wu and to the king! Please laugh at the king! ”

Shen Baoxu bowed to Qingji again.

This time, Qingji was inevitably a little flattered.

"Duke Chu is polite. The good intentions of the Duke of Chu are understood by the widows, however, there is no shortage of skilled craftsmen in my Wu country......"

Qingji didn't lie.

Whether it is a carpenter or a blacksmith, in fact, there is no shortage in Wu Kingdom.

Of course, craftsmen are all technical talents, and for Wu Guo, the more the merrier.

It's just that Qingji doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd of the Chu people, so he has some scruples.

Shen Baoxu smiled slightly and said, "Why should the king be polite? ”

"I, the state of Chu, sincerely serve the king."

"The king also lived in the palace of Yingdu, I don't know what the king thinks, how does the Chu Palace compare with the Wu Palace?"

When Qing Ji heard this, he thought for a while, and said, "Naturally, Chu Palace is better." ”

Qingji had to admit this.

After all, the state of Wu moved its capital to Jinling, but it took only six years, and the time when the state of Chu set its capital in Ying, how long did it take a hundred years?

Historically, due to historical reasons, the capital of Chu has changed several times, and the capital it moved is frequent, which is incomparable with other princes in the early Zhou Dynasty. Error-free updates @

The origin of the word Yingzi is "Yun", and Yundi is the homeland of the Chu State.

The ancestors of Chu lived there and established a country, and the Chu people had a deep love for the land, so they changed the shell of the Yun character to the king to refer to the national capital, and then the place where the capital was moved was called Ying.

Of course, the current Yingdu is actually only the second capital of the Chu people.

The first generation of Chu Zi Xiong Yi lived in Danyang, so Danyang was the first capital of Chu State.

More than 100 years ago, King Wen of Chu moved the capital of Chu from Danyang to the current Yingdu.

Compared with the two, the palace of Wu and the palace of Chu cannot be compared.

Whether it is the floor space or the degree of magnificence, the two are not the same.

Compared with the splendid palace of Chu Wang, the palace of Wu in Qingji is relatively shabby.

Because Qingji is a pragmatic and truth-seeking person, he doesn't care about face engineering.

So over the years, the royal palace of Wu has maintained its original state, similar to the old palace in Wudu.

"King!"

Shen Baoxu said angrily: "A big country, there should be a big country!" ”

"The minister has been to the capitals of many countries, and the national strength is different, and the regulations are different."

"In the minister's opinion, the palace of Wu is not compared to the original palace of Chu, that is, the forbidden palaces of Lu State, Zheng State, and Song State, all of which are inferior!"

After a pause, Shen Baoxu said again: "The palace is where the king's spirit lies, not for the personal enjoyment of the monarch, it is a matter of national character and face, and the king must not be sloppy!" ”

"My Chu country is for the king's consideration, and I am willing to send 2,000 craftsmen, and transfer wood, all filial piety to the king, and build a palace for the king that is stronger than the world and better than the Chu Palace!"

“……”

The Chu people are so generous?

Not only craftsmen, but also wood?

And unconditionally to Wu Guo?

Qingji was also full of ambition for a while.

For this cold Wu Palace, Qingji has actually been dissatisfied for a long time in his heart.

As Shen Baoxu said, the palace is not only a place where Qingji lives, but also represents the face of Wu.

Now the palace of Wu is no longer worthy of Qingji's identity and the national strength of Wu!

However, as we all know, the construction of palaces is very consuming of manpower, material and financial resources.

Material and financial resources are good to say, the key is this manpower!

The population of Wu is quite large, and the land is vast, which can be described as a vast land.

However, if Qingji wants to build a palace, he will undoubtedly levy a large amount of labor for transportation.

timber, building the palace chambers.

If you don't control it well, it will inevitably cost people and money.

"King! The minister thought that what Shenzi said was extremely true! ”

Tingwei Bo immediately stepped out and said: "The king is now the monarch of the country of ten thousand times, but the palace is not even comparable to the country of a thousand times such as Song, Lu, and Wei, which is really inappropriate!" ”

"Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night!"

"In view of this, the minister thinks that only the most gorgeous palace in the world, the most atmospheric palace, can be worthy of the noble identity of the king, and can be worthy of the powerful national strength of my Wu country!"

Bo's clothes are indeed more vivid when compared with the palace.

The king is the country, and the palace is the clothes on the king's body, showing the noble temperament.

Qingji squinted his eyes, looked around, looked at the minister and doctor under His Majesty's platform, and asked, "What do the second and third sons think of what Shenzi and Tingwei said?" ”

Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to do.

To be honest, they also think that the current palace of Wu is a little shabby, and it is not worthy of the state of Wu at this time, which is insulting to Sven......

Fan Li thought about it secretly, and then came out and said: "King, the minister thinks that the palace can be built, but there is no need to pursue extravagance, just high, big, and high!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The general of the Great Gong Ling followed: "Now that the treasury is abundant, the country is rich and strong, and it is fully capable of building a majestic palace for the king!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Ministers and doctors such as Kongqiu, Zhuli, Shen Xi, and Wen Chong all agreed.

Just like Qingji, they all think that the current palace of Wu is too cold.

In the past, Qingji focused on external expansion, and they had to spend manpower, material and financial resources everywhere, and they did not dare to admonish.

Now that Shen Baoxu has brought it up, Qingji seems to have done it intentionally, so the ministers can push the boat down the river and ask Qingji to build a palace. @

"The matter of building a palace is a big matter, and the widow should think about it."

"Shenzi, the craftsmen of the two thousand people, the widow will also accept it, please Shenzi on behalf of the widow to express his gratitude to the Duke of Chu!"

As soon as he heard this, Shen Baoxu hurriedly replied: "The minister must convey it!" ”

And at this time, Qingji has also reacted.

Isn't it a conspiracy for the Chu State to instigate him to build a palace like this, and also sent a large number of skilled craftsmen to provide wood for free?

Qingji glanced at Shen Baoxu meaningfully and asked, "Shenzi, in recent days, someone has told the widow that it is Chu Guoyin who raises soldiers and horses and forges weapons and armor. ”

"In the Jingshan area, the sound of military horse drills and forging artifacts are often heard. I don't know, is this true? ”

When Shen Baoxu heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, but he still pretended to be indifferent, and replied: "King, this rumor is purely groundless!" ”

"If my Chu country is strong, I will definitely report to the king!"

"Please King Mingjian, don't listen to other people's rumors!"
