The production of glass is small.

At present, whether it is greenhouse vegetables, glass doors and windows, or glass mirrors, they are all things that the rich can enjoy.

It doesn't have much to do with ordinary people.

But the change it has brought is real.

Glass and vegetables became sharp sickles, and much gold and silver were harvested.

The folk are fond of greenhouse vegetables, glass products, and cement.

In addition, the system of the Han Dynasty itself encouraged science and pioneering. This is top-down, forming a trend.

It seems to moisten all things, changing the conservative atmosphere of China.

For example, the word "tricky and ingenious".

In the past, people used this term to disparage all kinds of technical work.

It's different now.

At the imperial court. After confiscating many profiteers, temples, and Taoist temples, the acquired property filled the treasury incomparably.

The finances of the Han Dynasty suddenly changed from tight to rich.

Shanxi's governance of the Yellow River and the Loess Plateau has been vigorously unfolded.

With money in his hand, Cabinet Minister Gongsun Sang had an idea in his heart.

Morning.

Imperial Palace, Wenhua Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion.

The cabinet ministers are working, and officials and eunuchs are coming and going, very busy. Suddenly, Gongsun Sang raised his head and said to his colleagues, "Ladies and gentlemen. ”

"Your Majesty's ascension to the throne has not been short, and there is one thing that should have been done after Your Majesty ascended the throne."

Cabinet ministers are smart people, and they know a little bit.

They stopped what they were doing, and they all agreed with Gongsun Sang.

But there's a catch.

Liu Zhixing sighed and said, "This matter is indeed extremely important. But the cost is huge, and I am afraid that His Majesty will be frugal and unwilling to do it. ”

"So. We need to work together to make a statement to Your Majesty. I beg your majesty to do it. ”

Gongsun Sang said in a deep voice.

Liu Zhixing, Zhang Haiping, Cui Wushuang, Wang Youxiao and others looked at each other. Liu Zhixing got up and said, "Okay." Let's go to see Your Majesty together. ”

............

Today, Wu Nian and his wife and concubine came to the north of Jingshan for a spring outing.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, it is very comfortable to blow in the spring breeze.

Inside the gazebo. Wu Nian was dressed in a dragon robe and sat with Liu Xiang. The concubines dispersed to watch the scenery.

Wu Nian was a little thirsty, so he made tea.

learned that the cabinet ministers actually ran to Jingshan together to find themselves. Wu Nian showed a look of surprise, put down the teacup, looked up and said to Liu Xiang, "Empress." You take everyone and go to Wanchun Pavilion to take avoidance. ”

"Hmm." Liu Xiang hummed, and then greeted the warblers and Yanyan, and the concubines twisted their thin waists and left.

Wu Nian asked the eunuch to lead everyone up the mountain, and asked people to set up chairs and coffee tables, and make tea to prepare.

After Liu Zhixing and the others arrived, the tea had just come up.

"Sit down, drink tea first." Wu Nian looked at his cabinet ministers, all of them were panting and sweating, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Zhixing led the crowd to salute, and then sat down to drink tea. After a cup of tea, they adjusted their breathing.

Liu Zhixing put down the teacup and bowed to Wu Nian: "Your Majesty." Since ancient times, national events have been dedicated to Rong. According to the rules of the previous generation, in the first year of the Son of Heaven's accession to the throne, the construction of the imperial tomb should begin. ”

"Dare to do it, please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to survey the address of the imperial mausoleum and order the Ministry of Works to build it."

With that, Liu Zhixing stood up and knelt on the ground.

Gongsun Sang and the others hurriedly knelt down.

Wu Nian was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect a group of cabinet ministers to come to him, and it turned out to be his residence after death.

After he reacted, he laughed for a while. But after laughing, he also became serious.

Before the man died, he built a mausoleum first.

In the eyes of modern people, it is indeed absurd.

But in ancient times, it was important.

It's like Liu Zhixing said. The major national events are worship and worship.

Sacrifice.

Emperors of all dynasties were superstitious and feared that they would live comfortably after death. The construction of the mausoleum is a top priority.

One more point. The construction of mausoleums took a long time, while the ancients lived a short life. Even if he is an emperor, there are not many people who can enjoy the country for ten years.

Some died within a few months of ascending to the throne.

The mausoleum had to be built early.

Generally, the old emperor was buried, and the new emperor began to build his own mausoleum.

Wu Nian didn't care about this matter. This person is dead, how can he live in such a big underground palace.

Cremation is fine.

Find a place to bury it, and set up a monument.

But don't talk nonsense.

Just look at the faces of Liu Zhixing and the others, you can know that they are serious.

Wu Nian asked, "How much does it cost to build a mausoleum?" ”

"About eight million taels." Gongsun Sang replied quickly. After answering, he quickly added, "Your Majesty." Now that the treasury is full, there is no need to worry about silver. ”

"Eight million taels." Wu Nian sighed with emotion, and then said: "Use eight million taels of silver to build a mausoleum for the dead." Do you think it's worth it? What's more, it is necessary to mobilize countless migrant workers and consume people's labor. ”

"How good would it be to have this money to spend on people's livelihood or increase the food for soldiers?"

"It's worth it." Gongsun Sang cut the railway.

"A national event. In the worship and Rong. Sacrificing ancestors is a big deal. The sacrifice of the king is even more important. Liu Zhixing also said.

Although the other three did not speak, they all looked firm.

Wu Nian didn't want to build a tomb of eight million taels of silver for himself, but he didn't know how to refuse the cabinet ministers for a while.

But this matter still has to be done while he is alive.

For example, make a smaller one, 500,000 taels of silver?

If he dies and the new monarch succeeds to the throne, he will definitely build a big one. Then he couldn't jump out of the coffin and object.

At this moment, a eunuch rushed over, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty." The excerpt sent by Lord Fu Yin. ”

He held the fold in his hand above his head.

Wu Nian laughed and said to the cabinet ministers: "There are a lot of things going on today. Get up first. ”

With that, he took the fold from the eunuch's hand and opened it to look at it, and then his face showed a strange look.

"Something very interesting happened. You guys take a look at it too. Wu Nian closed the fold and handed it to Liu Zhixing.

Liu Zhixing and others were surprised, very interesting thing?

Liu Zhixing quickly finished reading it, and also showed a strange look, and reached out and handed the fold to Zhang Haiping.

Soon, the cabinet ministers all finished reading it, and they all had strange faces.

Gongsun Sang wanted to speak and stopped, spitting and spitting.

The excerpt is very clear.

Someone found that the imperial tomb of Chu was stolen and excavated, and reported it to the county government. The county order was reported to the government Yin, and the government Yin was on the fold.

"It is said that the dynasty fell and the imperial tomb suffered."

"Look at it. The emperor of Chu wanted to break his head for the sake of his own peace after death. Dig deep, bury thickly, and build solidly. In the end, wasn't he patronized by Captain Touching? ”

Wu Nian sat on the throne, raised his head and said.
