At the beginning of October 344 AD, that is, the first year of Zhao Qinglong, Shi Zun divided the 36 counties of Shi Min Qing, Yan, Yu, Si, You, Xu, He, and Shuo, and the territory including Heshuo in western Liaoning and northwest was given to Shi Min as a fief.

In addition to Liangzhou, Qinzhou, Yongzhou (collectively known as Guanlong) and the Western Regions Protectorate, which are not under the control of the imperial court, there is also a Yecheng, and almost all the territories of Zhao State were given to Shi Min!

This time, Shi Min's bottom of the kettle has done enough!

As a result, Shi Min established the Wei State in Daliang, called the lonely and widowed, and the vassals. The decrees of the Zhao State were all issued by the Great Liang, and Yecheng did not have the qualifications to be the national capital except for the shell of a "capital".

The reason why Shi Min used Daliang as the capital of Wei was because Daliang was rich, the water network was dense, the roads extended in all directions, and it was a place for merchants to settle down, which was already very prosperous, and there was no need for the imperial court to build too much of these.

On the one hand, it is the main beam of the fixed capital, which is in the middle, and will not cause unease among the neighbors of the Quartet.

However, in Shi Min's opinion, this is more important, naturally the beam is very close to Yecheng, once something happens in Yecheng, the army sent by Shi Min can come in the morning and evening!

"Ministers, see the king!"

On this day, Shi Min was still in the imperial study to deal with government affairs, Qin Mu asked to see him, and he was followed by two ministers wearing seven-grade official uniforms.

Shi Min was still very puzzled, what did Qin Mu do with these two little-known sesame officials?

"Let's be flat."

"King Xie!"

When Qin Mu got up, he said, "King, the minister is fortunate to live up to his mission." The day before yesterday, the king and his ministers started the planning of this Liang City, as well as the matter of the newly built Wei Palace, the ministers were not stupid, so they found two giants for the king! ”

"Great?"

Qin Mu pointed to the minister next to him whose skin was flushed with bronz, and said, "This is Xie Fei, the first emperor was once reused during his reign, and the drawings for the construction of Jianzhang Palace and Taiwu Hall came from him. Xie Fei has his own uniqueness for the construction and planning of the palace, and it must be very suitable for him to be responsible for the construction of the Wei Palace. ”

Hearing this, Shi Min bowed his head slightly and said nothing.

With Shi Min's nod, Xie Fei was excited, since Shi Hu's death, his big work order can be said to be useless, not reused, and he felt cold, and he was impeached by the Han minister because of the construction of Shanglin Yuan, and became a seven-grade official.

Now if the big project of building the Wei Palace is obtained, Xie Fei will definitely be reused!

Qin Mu pointed to another minister and said: "This is Shi Tanyi, a Qiang native of Jizhou, who has served as the chief secretary and county commander of Pingyuan County, and first built it for the Ministry of Industry. Xie Fei recommended Shi Tanyi to be responsible for the construction of Daliang City and urban planning. ”

Shi Min pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Xie Fei, Shi Tanyi, the widow wants to know, how long will it take to build the Wei Palace and build the Great Liang City?" How much manpower is needed? How much financial resources are needed? ”

The time required, the manpower required, and the financial resources required were the three major issues that Shi Min was concerned about. Whether it is to build Daliang City or build the Wei Palace, it requires huge manpower, material and financial resources, and it will take a lot of time.

Xie Fei seems to have thought about this when he came.

"Returning to the king, according to the calculations of his subordinates, it will take at least five months to build the palace of Wei, and the time required to build the Daliang City should be three months. The labor required, according to preliminary estimates, is to transport timber from Jianghuai or Hedong, burn glazed tiles, burn bricks, including craftsmen to build the Wei Palace, and the manpower required is not less than 130,000, and the manpower required to build the Daliang City is not less than 60,000! ”

"As for the financial investment, it is preliminarily estimated that it will cost 32 million guan to build the Wei Palace, and 10 million guan to build Daliang City!"

Hearing this, Shi Min's brows furrowed: "Why do you need almost 200,000 manpower?" ”

Money is not an issue, but the only thing Shi Min is dissatisfied with is this manpower, there are too many labors that need to be levied!

Xie Fei lowered his head and said: "If the manpower is reduced, I am afraid that the construction period will be extended." ”

“……”

Shi Min's idea is to build the Wei Palace and Daliang City as soon as possible, he has no shortage of money, but this manpower is not good for too much labor and money.

"You guys go down first, and we'll talk about it later."

"No!"

Shi Min is now in charge of everything, although he has done a lot of political affairs and delegated power to the people below, but he himself is not easy, every time he is busy in the imperial study until the evening, there are a lot of concerts that have not been approved, in desperation, Shi Min had to let people pack these concerts and bring them all back to his Wei Wangfu for approval.

After thinking about it, Shi Min still felt a little resentful, if his home was in the harem, would he run back and forth all the time?

"The king has arrived!"

When he returned home, it was already nightfall, and when the lights were on, Shi Min's wives were still sitting together, waiting for him, the head of the family, to arrive.

Queen Dong Qiaoqiao, concubines Cui Ying, Shi Lan, Dugu Jialuo and Huang Yuechan, Shi Min's wives and concubines are in groups, but compared to his current status, there are not many five daughters-in-law.

As for Shi Min's children, there are also several, the eldest son Shi Ming, the second son Shi Zhi, the third son Shi Xi, the fourth son Shi Cao, the eldest daughter Shi Lihua, and the second daughter Shi Xuanhua.

has five wives and concubines and six children, this is Shi Min's current family situation.

"The king (father)!" Wives and children stood up and saluted.

Shi Min walked to the upper seat and sat down: "Sit down." ”

When his wife and children were seated, Shi Min said to Dong Qiaoqiao again: "Queen, the widow is busy with government affairs these days, and he may not be able to go home for dinner, so you don't have to let everyone wait for the widow to come back." ”

"No."

Looking at the aggrieved faces of several children, staring at the food on the table and wanting to eat but not daring to move the chopsticks, Shi Min smiled knowingly, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, and said, "Let's eat." ”

After dinner, Shi Min was half full, so he went directly to his study and began to fight at night again.

Seeing Shi Min with this appearance, Dong Qiaoqiao couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and then asked people to make a bowl of soup, make a basin of hot water, and enter the study.

Shi Min's study is not something that ordinary people can enter, so whether it is soup or the basin of hot water, Dong Qiaoqiao brought it in by himself.

"Uh...... What are you? Shi Min couldn't help but be stunned.

"After a hard day, you must be tired of Brother Min, right? Let go of the things at hand first, and the concubine will wash your feet. ”

"This ...... How does this work? Shi Min hurriedly stood up, but Dong Qiaoqiao pressed his shoulders and put him down on the chair. Dong Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes and said, "What's wrong with this?" Outside, the concubine body is the queen of Wei, but at home, by your side, the concubine body is just Brother Min and your wife. It just so happens that the concubine has learned some foot massage techniques in recent days, so let Brother Min enjoy it. ”

Dong Qiaoqiao does have a heart, in order to share some pressure for Shi Min, she can't replace Shi Min to deal with government affairs, and she can't treat people like Shi Min, but when Shi Min returns home, she won't have too many troubles, and she can enjoy her Dong Qiaoqiao's "one-stop service", it's really exciting to think about!

Shi Min's heart suddenly brightened, it is good to have a good wife in the family, and it is good to have a virtuous helper.

The life expectancy of the ancient emperors was generally not high, in addition to their own hidden diseases, they were either diligent in government and loved the people, and were exhausted to death in the public all night, or they were upset by those bullshit things in the harem, and finally died of depression.

There are many famous virtuous queens in history, and the eldest grandson queen of Tang Taizong and the queen of Ma of Ming Taizu should be on the list.

The queen's status in the harem is like the status of the emperor's son in the court, and the queen manages the harem as the head of the first palace, and the mother is under the order. As a special profession in ancient times, the duties of the empress were extremely complex.

Throughout the ages, there are very few people who can be good queens, and even fewer people who can be competent are like morning stars.

What Shi Min praised was Yin Lihua, Empress Changsun and Empress Ma.

After Yin Lihua became the queen, she still had the same original intention, frugal and benevolent, humble and self-restrained, did not like to laugh, was cautious and docile in things, and cherished and loving. She was in charge of the harem, never interfered in the government affairs, and was more able to restrain her family, so that Liu Xiu had no worries and concentrated on state affairs.

Yin Lihua was humble and virtuous all her life, and her marriage to Liu Xiu was happy and happy, and she was called the virtuous queen and was known as "the most competent queen in history".

Empress Changsun was born in a prominent aristocratic family for generations, intelligent and virtuous, well-read and well-read, familiar with scriptures and history, and was an insightful, knowledgeable, generous and benevolent woman. In the last years of Wude, the eldest grandson tried his best to win the support of Li Shimin in Li Yuan's harem, and the change of Xuanwu Gate should personally comfort the soldiers.

When she was in the later position, she often used ancient metaphors to advise the emperor, Kuang corrected Li Shimin's mistakes in government, and left a reputation of "court service and advice" to protect loyal and capable ministers with roundabout strategies; She has a bad temperament and is extravagant, and she does not allow her half-brother Sun Wuji to be the ruler; He is very kind to the palace people and concubines in his charge, no one in the palace loves him, and there is no chaos in the harem.

Empress Changsun is the emperor's auxiliary minister, the umbrella of loyal ministers, and the benchmark of later queens.

She is a man of unbridled eloquence, a collector of exotic and precious playthings, a confident and slightly conceited happy woman, the wife of her husband's beloved life, and their affection is deep enough to move posterity. Empress Changsun is a model for the queen in Hourao's mind, and she and Li Shimin are famous "model couples" in history.

And Queen Ma.

In the Yuan Dynasty, where the beauty of the three-inch golden lotus was precious, and the women were bound to their feet, Ma Xiuying did not wrap her feet, so she was called "Ma Dajiao" and "Bigfoot Horse Queen".

Ma Xiuying was adopted by Guo Zixing, a friend of her father and leader of the Red Turban Army, at the age of 12, and married Zhu Yuanzhang at the age of 21, and spent 15 years of hardship and hardship with him. In 1368 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, the founding name was the Ming Dynasty, the Jianyuan Hongwu, and the book was immediately Xiuying as the queen.

Queen Ma had a great influence on later generations, and the queens of the Ming and Qing dynasties and even the women of the Ming and Qing dynasties all took her as a model and vied to follow suit. She is recognized by historians as a generation of virtuous queens in China's feudal era.
