Chapter Ninety-Seven: Worms came out of the melon seeds

It's ridiculous to say, as long as the flames in the crematorium in the dungeon of Wannian County are not extinguished for a day, a lot of work in Wannian County will be very easy to carry out, and the progress is gratifying.

Previously, Yunchu had not promoted the renovation project of the houses in Nancheng, and because the Mingde Gate where the Nancheng was located was the main gate, the main road opposite the main gate was the main traffic road, and the rural settlement area outside the Mingde Gate was also the densest.

Giving priority to the transformation of Nancheng is the first choice for changing the landscape of Chang'an and economic benefits, but unfortunately, I have told a lot of truth to the so-called wealthy families in Nancheng, and also put out a lot of facts, and as a result, people are unwilling to be unwilling.

Some people even said very clearly, let those poor ghosts become rich, who will make them cattle and horses?

Now, Zhou Xing has come and lit the crematorium, and everyone feels that the Nancheng renovation project is imperative.

According to Yun Chu's estimates, as long as Zhou Xing lights the furnace for another month, Zeng Fu and they will be able to recover nearly seventy percent of the documents.

Yunchu held a very important meeting today, the main content of which was the completion and acceptance of the Daming Palace project.

There were many people attending the meeting, especially the officials of the Ministry of Industry of Chang'an, craftsmen, and Shaofu supervisors, and a Shaoqing from Sinong Temple also came, as well as a director from the Ministry of Households.

The people who came to the Imperial Observatory were not considered to be the acceptance officers, they were the ones who came to inspect and build this palace castle.

In fact, the Daming Palace project has been completed as early as the autumn, and the reason why Yunchu has arranged the acceptance work to be carried out until now is mainly to take advantage of the momentum of Zhou Xing to burn people, so that the acceptance link can be reduced and more convenient.

Ten thousand years, the two counties of Chang'an, spent as much as one million yuan on the construction of the Daming Palace, and now, what kind of money has been spent is the most concerned thing for the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

It is also a matter of concern to the imperial historians.

Under normal circumstances, if a grand project like the construction of the Daming Palace is not found out of a few insatiable officials and shoddy and vicious businessmen, it is not a qualified acceptance, and it is the fault of Yushitai.

Daming Palace is located outside the north of Chang'an City, north of the Royal Forbidden Garden, the shore of Weishui, south of Chang'an City North Guo, west of the northeast corner of the palace city. A symbol of the dragon vein of the mountain from the southwest of Chang'an Fan Chuan to the north, across sixty miles, to here, just "dragon head", because of the high terrain, people called the dragon head.

The dragon head was originally the place of the three nine shooting in the north of the Sui Daxing city, and there was the Guande Hall inside, which was the place where the shooting salute was held.

When Zhenguan was eight years old, Emperor Taishang Li Yuan always occupied the Taiji Palace and did not let go, and there was no way, Emperor Taizong built a Yong'an Palace for the Emperor Taishang on the Longshou Yuan on the grounds that the Taiji Palace was low and the hot flashes were unbearable.

Originally, the design of Yong'an Palace was very rich, and the whole palace area could be divided into two parts: the former court and the inner court. The center of the previous dynasty is Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Palace, Zichen Palace, and there are more than 30 places in the inner courtyard with Taiye Pool, various other halls, pavilions, and views.

After the construction of the first Yong'an Palace was completed and the Emperor Taishang moved to Yong'an Palace, the construction of the grand building complex on the blueprint gradually stopped because the treasury always ran out of money.

It can't be said that it has stopped, that is, dozens of craftsmen have been sent to build piecemeal, until the old emperor dies, and no famous hall has been built.

Fortunately, Wannian County and Chang'an County became rich, so they took the initiative to contract the construction of this Daming Palace, which also made Emperor Taizong's deception of Emperor Taishang finally have a good result.

Whether it is in the past life or in this life, if you want the project to be accepted, it is not in the project itself, but outside the project.

Shen Ru, the chief secretary of Wannian County, was a very capable official, and when Yun Chu walked into the back hall of the canteen, which was used as a meeting place, he felt that the acceptance project that started today should be a complete success.

If nothing else, a roasted camel standing on a huge round table suddenly raised the tone of the meeting, not to mention the fact that the camel still held a fist-sized pearl of the night in its mouth, which was shone with the splendor of the deliberately shining sun.

There was a huge charcoal brazier under the camel, which was heated by an iron plate, and more than two dozen officials, each carrying a plate, cut and roasted the camel with his hands, and at the same time put into his own plate all the stones of various colors that were useless in the huge copper plate.

Yun Chu smiled and cut off a piece of roasted meat that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and said to the young lieutenant of Honglu Temple who came to mix gifts: "Will you go to Daming Palace for a walk?" ”

Wei Chiwan took out a piece of red agate hidden under the camel's leg with his hand, wiped the oil stains on it with a handkerchief, put it into his sleeve and said: "Count nine cold days to blow the wind on the hill?" ”

Yun Chu said: "Yan Liben's craftsmanship, don't look at the loss." ”

Wei Chiwan shook his head and said, "Don't go, I heard that the garden tour in Jinchangfang will start tonight?" A certain family also wants to choose a brilliant first minister to talk about it at night. ”

Yun Chu sneered and said, "Look at your little bit of talent." ”

Wei Chiwan pointed to a royal history over there who stepped on a stool to reach the string of jewels hanging from the camel's neck and said, "You be careful, take your things, and turn around and impeach you to death." ”

Yun Chu glanced at it, shook his head and said, "It's okay, that's the clan uncle of Wen County Order." ”

Wei Chi nodded slowly, and then pointed to a few officials who were sitting on the edge of the big iron plate, waiting to eat the simple iron plate steak, and said: "See clearly, that is a group of difficult to dismiss, people haven't looked at your roast camels from beginning to end, just waiting for you to take the initiative to send good things to others." ”

Yun Chu nodded clearly and said: "Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Works, Hu Shaoqing of the Shaofu Supervisor, Lao Zhou, the master craftsman who will be the supervisor, and Qin Shilang of the Household Department, these four are all good men who will do things when the price is clearly marked, and my master book should be ready." ”

Wei Chiwan ate and said with a smile: "You didn't notice that you put it in the camel's mouth, and deliberately asked the officials to take a bronze mirror to reflect the sunlight and make it shine, why hasn't anyone touched it until now?" ”

Yun Chu rubbed the short whisker on his chin and said, "It stands to reason that there should be a fight, at least an argument." ”

Wei Chiwan said with a smile: "This shows that in this acceptance activity, none of them in this group of people really have the final say, therefore, you have to keep a good position, so as not to give away the gifts that cost the project fee, and after a while the real big man comes, you are not easy to greet." ”

Yun Chu's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a low voice: "Those bigwigs in Chang'an City shouldn't have the heart to come to me for trouble now, but whoever comes here is here to take advantage." ”

Wei Chiwan covered his mouth very feminine and smiled: "The bigwigs in Chang'an City, including Yinggong, are all guarding against Zhou Xing, the butcher, and they really don't have the heart to come, don't you want to think about whether the bigwigs in Luoyang City will come?" ”

Yun Chu's pupils contracted slightly, and said, "You mean to say that Shangguan Yi is really here?" ”

Wei Chiwan smiled and said, "I don't believe that you, the head snake of Chang'an, will not know?" ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I really don't know." ”

Before the words fell, Wei Chiwan pointed to Shen Ru, the master of Wannian County, who came over in a hurry: "Look, come as you say, don't delay!" ”

Shen Rucai came in, and before he could speak, the door was rudely pushed open, and a cold wind rushed in from outside the door, and immediately, Shangguan Yi's dead face appeared outside the door.

"The imperial court respects frugality, and it is not allowed to be extravagant and wasteful again and again, so is this treating the imperial court's decrees as if they were nothing?"

Seeing the person outside the door, Yun Chu felt as uncomfortable as if he had accidentally eaten a fly, and then looked at everyone present, there should be more than one or two people who felt this way about him.

Yun Chu's title is higher than Shangguan Yi, but his position is far above Yun Chu, and this is Yun Chu's territory, so he had to stand up and salute: "I don't know that the Zhongshu order is coming, and the lower officials are missing the distance, capital crime, capital crime." ”

I thought that what I said was already very humble, and I also gave Shangguan Yi enough face, but I heard Shangguan Yi say: "I have long heard that Wannian County, Chang'an County is used to taking wealth and food as the pioneer, and the old man is really knowledgeable today."

is so extravagant, even if the Daming Palace is built by you with tofu dregs, I'm afraid that the people here will also give you a good choice. ”

The rest of the officials present saluted one after another, saying that they did not dare.

Shangguan Yi walked into the house with the jade belt in both hands, pointed to the camel that had eaten a few bites and said, "Yunxian Order, I'm afraid this is all the people's fat and people's ointment of the people of your Wannian County, right?" ”

Yun Chu nodded and said: "It is true that the six hundred and twenty-eight merchants in Wannian County have been supplying all kinds of construction goods for the Daming Palace construction site for six years, and now it is finally completed, and they are also expected to get forty percent of the wages after completion, as well as the payment for the goods."

The people only hope that the official can serve everyone present, get the full forty percent of the salary and the payment for the goods safely, and then live a good life.

There is no such thing as extortion and coercion, if you don't believe it, those businessmen are waiting for good news in the restaurant outside the county government.

When all of you here sign the completion document, you have a lot to do with it.

Don't look at us eating and drinking here, it's also your colleagues who give Yun a little face, once you get to the construction site, Zhongshuling can't see it even if you want to see us talking and laughing.

All of you who come here are experts, where will you tolerate sloppy and cutting corners, this is a palace built for Your Majesty, once something happens, who would dare to take on such a big responsibility?

Dare to ask Zhongshu Ling, do you dare?

Or does the Zhongshu Order have to find some corrupt officials from among us? ”

Shangguan Yi looked at Yun Chu and said: "Everyone says that you Yun Chu is the lord of Chang'an, and when I see it today, it is really true." ”

Yun Chu said: "I heard that Zhongshu Ling and the abolished prince conspired against him, and he was even more bold, but I don't know why Zhongshu Ling still has the heart to come to my Wannian County to stir up trouble at such a critical moment, why, could it be that you came this time to force a certain family to rebel so that you, a rebel, can escape?"

A certain family tells you that you want to be bad, there are only loyal ministers and filial sons of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an City, and there are no rebels. ”

Keep asking for votes, keep asking for votes, but if you have it, give it 2, you need it very much.
