Yuehua Palace.

The overall structure is built with the structure of one courtyard, one courtyard and one kitchen.

There are rockery ponds and elm trees in the courtyard.

After these beautiful scenery, it is Yuehua Palace.

Yuehua Palace is one of the most luxurious palaces in the entire palace complex, however, this is also a comparison, compared to the newly built Fusu Mansion, Yuehua Palace is even slightly insufficient.

However, Yuehua Palace will have a sense of historical silence.

This is a palace that has been standing for 130 years, and it looks much heavier when standing under the door.

Step into it.

The furnishings inside are changing with each passing day, which is in line with the world of Daqin today.

The pearls in the south, the mahogany in the north, the coral in the east, the jade gems in the west, and the light gauze shrouded in the roof, and the Lantian jade is used as an ornament.

There is endless glory and wealth, and there is no worry about food and clothing.

"Xian'er meets her mother."

"Jia'er meets her mother."

"Yingcheng to meet the emperor's grandmother."

Above, a middle-aged woman wearing heavy makeup and wearing colorful silk waved her hand in a rich posture: "Xian'er, Jia'er, Cheng'er doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Princess." Li Xian and Meng Jia thanked one after another, and Yingcheng also thanked him.

Mrs. Huayue looked much kinder, and did not forget to sigh with emotion: "Xian'er, Jia'er is pregnant, and my son is blessed, which can be described as double happiness." ”

"I wonder if you have asked a doctor to diagnose it?"

Yingcheng replied: "Grandmother Huihuang, there are doctors in the house, and there are diagnoses every day. ”

Mrs. Hua Yue nodded, but continued: "Come on, go and ask the imperial doctor, the woman is pregnant, nine deaths, and there is no room for negligence." ”

"Thank you, Princess!" Li Xian, Meng Jia immediately thanked.

Even if it is hypocritical, it is a greeting.

But.

Li Xian often entered the palace to greet Mrs. Huayue, and sometimes it was a whole day as soon as he entered the palace, and it was impossible to talk about hypocrisy.

"The house can still adapt, if you don't adapt, there is a hot spring in Lantian Palace, you can move there to raise a baby."

Mrs. Huayue inquired about clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Especially at this time.

As long as Li Xian dares to mention it, there is really nothing to discourage.

And since it was mentioned.

Yingcheng also replied politely: "Imperial grandmother, Guanzhong is hot and dry, and it doesn't hurt at this time, but in mid-May and June, I also asked my grandmother to bother and ask my mother and aunt to go to Lantian Palace to escape the summer." ”

Lantian Palace is the exclusive property of the First Emperor, there are hot springs in winter, green shade in summer, it is a place of health, but you can't go directly, you need the permission of the First Emperor or the concubines in the palace.

Mrs. Huayue nodded and said, "I agreed, choose a certain time, and when the Lantian Palace is ready, you can go." ”

"Grandmother Xie." Yingcheng replied.

Mrs. Huayue sighed again: "It's a pity, I've been dizzy lately, every time I think of the picture of my child suffering, the bitter cold in Yongzhou, and I don't know if my idiot can stand it." ”

"Cheng'er, you disagree with your father's politics, and you must not affect your father-son relationship."

Hear Mrs. Huayue's insinuation.

Yingcheng knew that entering the palace today and explaining this matter was also one of the important things, so after a slight pause, he replied:

"Back to the emperor's grandmother, the grandson and the father have no trouble, and my father went to Yongzhou to inspect this time, and he was only ordered to inspect Yongzhou, and he will come back in three or four months."

When Mrs. Huayue heard this, she couldn't help asking, "Is it going to take three or four months, so long!" ”

"Grandmother." Yingcheng replied firmly: "As the eldest son, my father should know the suffering of the world, and my Great Qin and the land of Kyushu, compared to the world, Xianyang is much more insignificant. ”

"If my father understands the hardships of the people's livelihood, my father will know how to govern the world when he returns."

"At the same time, the father and son are of the same heart, and the grandson also hopes that the father can supervise the implementation of the new law in Yongzhou."

"That's it!" Mrs. Huayue ended the topic with a long sigh.

Since experiencing the last incident of Zongzhengfu, don't talk about her, in the entire harem, there is no concubine involved in the dangerous government affairs.

But.

Immediately after, Mrs. Huayue said again: "Xian'er, Jia'er, it's better to stay in the palace and have dinner before leaving." ”

"If the city has leisure, it is better to stay and eat."

Li Xian and Meng Jia naturally would not refuse.

But.

Yingcheng quickly said: "Cheng'er thank grandmother." ”

Yingcheng did not refuse, this morning, no matter what happened outside the palace, he would not leave easily.

Eating with Mrs. Hua Yue is also one of the important events today.

This is related to maintaining the stability of the Chu group.

In the matter of Shangluo, although there was no large-scale bloodshed in Shangluo, the Chu group just surrendered in a different way.

But the impact is not small.

Especially let the Chu family and the imperial court have a gap in their hearts.

In order to prevent future troubles.

The Western Expeditionary Army had to recruit troops from Shangluo once, and the imperial court had to emigrate to Shangluo once, all in order to eliminate the influence of the Chu group in Shangluo.

But all the same.

It is not only necessary to appease Chengyang Hou, An Lingjun and others.

It is even more necessary to appease the core figure of the Chu group, Mrs. Hua Yue.

In the palace, there are seven concubines of the First Emperor from the Chu group, but among these seven people, only Mi Hua is the leader.

This is also a very helpless thing.

According to the implementation of the law, there is no need to take care of anyone's emotions.

But.

In this place where nobles are the ruling body, he must resolve some of the contradictions by marriage and wooing.

In fact.

Li Xian's handling was not wrong, forming a power group centered on him.

That is, the current Wang Jian lineage, the Chu system Chengyang Hou lineage, the clan Yingshu lineage, the Li Si line under the easing relationship, and the Sun Confucian lineage that already existed.

This is a power group that can be formed without his co-optation at present, and only needs to eliminate dissidents and appoint and dismiss officials.

On this basis, officials at all levels have the absolute right to speak in the court.

Or even say.

This will be beneficial to the implementation of the new law.

But because this matter was vetoed by him, there was also a gap between him and Li Xian.

Look at the root of the problem.

Now his power still comes from the appointment of the First Emperor and from the system of changing the law.

On this basis, whether it is Feng Quji, Wang Ben, Li Si, Meng Yi, these people are all headed by his decree.

Such power is not stable.

And only the formation of a power bloc headed by him.

Even if the First Emperor was dissatisfied with him one day, he would not be able to shake his position.

But.

Or rather.

His heart has changed.

Just like an interesting video he saw in his previous life, it is also something that happens around him.

When you get your password back, you ask, 'What's your dream?' But I couldn't answer, I tried a lot, and it seemed that the memory of setting up this dream in the first place disappeared.

But actually.

It's just that with the changes in life and thoughts, I lost my original dream.

And he is now.

It is not just a continuation of the Qin State, so as not to let the Qin State II die.

Because.

As it stands.

Even if the First Emperor died suddenly, at least, he could control the situation.

As long as the First Emperor lived for a few more years, even if he lived to thirty-seven years, the Qin State would never die.

Or even say.

Even if Li Si and Hu Hai tampered with the edict together, Li Si would never let Hu Hai become Qin II now.

Not to mention.

Hu Hai can't stand the suffering of the investigation envoy now, and has already had the idea of going west to Longxi and going to the Western Regions, once Hu Hai leaves Great Qin, even if Hu Hai establishes his own dead country in the Western Regions, it will not affect Qin's internal affairs.

And because of this.

He didn't just need to think about the continuation of the Qin state now.

It's about how to break the dynastic cycle.

One hundred years.

Corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, power was rampant, and the gentry of noble and wealthy families formed an inherent class, and a large area of land was annexed.

He thinks.

It's not a human problem.

Using human nature to avoid institutional defects is the essence of the century-old dynasty's decline.

And this.

It is precisely in the body of the 'Fa' that it appears.

After eating, Li Xian began to greet the palace concubines one by one.

Because this will be Li Xian's last greeting, for the next year and a half, Li Xian will no longer have to greet his elders.

And Yingcheng, it is naturally impossible to enter and exit the palaces of various concubines at will, nominally speaking, he is young, and he can enter as much as he wants, but now, he has arrived at a position under one person without a crown, and he still has to avoid suspicion.

Leaving the palace, Yingcheng first went to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a walk.

The meaning is obvious, I'm going to take care of the government.

But as a result, Feng Quji and Li Si were not there, and even the entire Xianyang Palace seemed deserted, except for a few officials, most of them worked in the Foreign Government Office.

I thought about it.

Yingcheng didn't even enter the door of the Dalu Mansion, and left Xianyang Palace.

There have been a lot of people on Zhangtai Street recently, and all of them are brightly dressed.

The prosperity of Zhangtai Street seems to be gradually recovering.

But

What kept him on the lookout was.

The music education department was reopened, and there were many people coming and going inside with the sound of singing and dancing.

The brand of the four seas for the treasure was picked up and changed to the "Mountain and Sea Flavor Restaurant", which is not currently in business and is being renovated.

What surprised him the most was that someone opened a 'Feng Hai Restaurant' on Zhangtai Street, a place where every inch of land is valuable, and there was a big sign hanging at the door.

It reads: "A porridge and a bun, when thinking about where it comes from, half a thread and half a thread, and the constant thought is difficult." Self-worship must be frugal, and the banquet guests must not stay. ”

At the end, it reads, "One penny, one bowl of porridge, one bun, one dish, one lamb bone." ”

He didn't write the words anyway, and he didn't call the people.

But.

Seeing such a change, Yingcheng's heart was still very happy.

And it's right behind this restaurant.

It is Fenghai Pier.

Yingcheng thought about it and walked in along the alleyway.

As far as the eye can see.

At this time, the 'slum' has been turned into an endless flat land, and you can see the sparkling Weishui River from the mouth of the laneway.

And right on top of this, mountains of materials large and small are piled up.

Thousands of workers 'move bricks' on it.

And right next to this construction site, the office built by the Tingwei Division with a pergola stands out from the crowd.

Just after Yingcheng just emerged.

Feng Hai hurriedly ran over.

"Xiaomin visits the prison country!" Feng Hai said when he met: "All the documents are in the workshop, please check with the prison state." ”

Yingcheng smiled and said, "You're busy with you, I'm just going around." ”

Feng Hai quickly replied: "Xiaomin is not busy, it is an honor for Xiaomin to accompany the prison country." ”

"I don't know if the prison country can eat, the small people have prepared a meal and wine, and the prison country please move to eat."

Yingcheng smiled, if Feng Hai had prepared a meal, he would have knocked his head off.

It is also said: "You don't have to work." ”

said.

Yingcheng walked slowly towards the bank of the Weishui River.

"Xiaomin feels more and more that this Weishui wharf is very important, and in the future, it will take on most of the freight in Xianyang." Feng Hai didn't leave, but began to talk non-stop.

Yingcheng also heard about Feng Hai being violently beaten by Feng Qu, and found that Feng Hai is now a lot more transparent, and he has a tendency to become an entrepreneur.

Especially in the construction of the wharf, some problems of the wharf do not need to be handled by others, and they can be well understood, which is very valuable.

"Is the total investment in the construction of this wharf more than 100,000 yuan, is the money enough?" Yingcheng asked casually.

Feng Hai hesitated slightly, and said, "It's enough, but it's enough, but Xiaomin is afraid that he will bleed heavily!" ”

Yingcheng asked with a little doubt: "That's not enough, you can't have any problems here, all the materials, labor, all must be within the legal and reasonable range, and there can be no mistakes." ”

"This, Xiaomin understands!" Feng Hai also knew that it was difficult: "It's just that recently, the clan has mainly invested in salt mines in Hedong, Taiyuan, Yanmen and other places, and now the small people want to get money from the clan, which also needs to be reviewed layer by layer." ”

"The prison country doesn't know anything, and now the small people are eating bran and tightening their belts to live."

Yingcheng ignored Feng Hai's complaint and laughed: "Then if you want to say that, I will let the Commercial Department focus on checking this wharf?" ”

When Feng Hai heard this, he hurriedly said: "Although the small people are hard, the small people can still cope with it, they are all clansmen, and those old men can't favor one over the other." ”

"Huh!" Yingcheng smiled through everything and said, "Okay, I won't joke with you, you are Feng Gong's own grandson, I don't believe that he didn't talk to you?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Feng Hai immediately smiled awkwardly, and did not pretend to say: The provincial person is the handle. ”

"As long as it is within the scope of legality and reasonableness, I believe that the officials of my Qin State will deal with it impartially." Yingcheng smiled and said, "And for important industries, the imperial court also vigorously supports them. ”

"However, there is no doubt that the loan will be repaid after all."

Hearing this, Feng Hai nodded and said, "This little man naturally understands. ”

Yingcheng smiled and continued to wander around the construction site.

It is also clear why this person is complaining to him.

Or even say.

Now anyone who has something to do with the position of the Jiuqing Department is basically clear.

The grain in the granary of Daqin has been reduced by a million bells after spring ploughing.

And it will continue to decrease in the coming months.

However, there is a lot of money in the current treasury, so much that the treasury is about to be unable to fit it.

Half of this money was the income from the sale of various mining industries, and a small amount was the income from the sale of the workshops run by Shaofu.

But more importantly, in the past few months, he has ordered the coinage workshop controlled by the imperial court to start working at full speed to make Qin Banliang.

That's right.

The imperial court is now rich except for grain, and everything else is about to become rich.

That's no longer a question of more money and less money, but what to do with so much money!

In this day and age.

Any two taels of money counted in millions are already astronomical units.

And now.

There are two units of money in the treasury that can be counted in tens of thousands.

Even Nei Shiten, who is in control of the treasury, is not only not worried about the lack of money now, but is worried all day long, how to spend the money in the treasury, that is the ultimate problem.

Too much money is not necessarily a good thing for the imperial court.

Sitting on the mountain of gold and silver, worrying.
