Wang Xiao felt warm in his heart and at the same time felt that since he was not on the list, it was indeed inappropriate for him to serve as a second-grade general.
The name is not right and the words are wrong!
All civil and military officials throughout the dynasty were dissatisfied.
The soldiers who come under his command will also be dissatisfied!
Wang Xiao didn't think that the emperor would give him management of the soldiers who used to be under his command.
He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since the list has not been found, the position of this second-grade general of the country is worthy of the post. Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
After saying this, many officials glanced at Wang Xiao and thought: At least he has some self-awareness and knows that he is not worthy!
The emperor did not miss it just now. When Wang Xiao heard that the list was not found, his expression was startled, which made him even more determined to make him a second-grade general.
The emperor waved his hand: "Okay, my decision has been made. My dear friends, no need to say more! General Wang will grant you the title of a second-grade general, a mansion, and a hundred acres of fertile land! The mansion should be the original Guo family's mansion! General Wang Don’t you still want to thank me?!”
Wang Xiao is not a person who is pushy. Since the emperor insists on going his own way and it is a reward for himself, how can he push it again and again, because he is afraid of cutting his hand for money
Wouldn’t it be nice to have one more mansion as a dowry for my sister’s granddaughters
"The last general, Wang Xiao, would like to thank the Lord for his kindness. Long live the emperor, long live, long live the emperor! The last general will live up to the emperor's love and devote himself to the Nalan Kingdom until his death!"
When the emperor heard this, he said happily: "Haha... ok!"
Everyone really doesn’t feel the same way!
Especially General Tang.
The emperor didn't care how dissatisfied the civil and military officials in the court were, and then he announced another major event.
"It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Nalan Kingdom, and the capital has been built for more than a hundred years. During these more than a hundred years, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, the capital has become more and more prosperous, and the population has increased. This is a good sign for the prosperity of the people's descendants. It’s just that after more than a hundred years of development, the existing capital can no longer meet the growing population of the capital! In order for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, I have repeatedly decided to expand the city!”
All civil and military officials in the court were shocked when they heard this. Expanding the city
This topic successfully stole the attention of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Many officials want to expand the city, so there will be many business opportunities!
They went back and asked their family to buy a large piece of land. Then they would build shops and mansions. Wouldn't it be wonderful
So someone immediately echoed: "Your Majesty is wise! The capital has been prosperous! Every festival, the streets and alleys are crowded with people, and the shops are also crowded with people, and there is no place to turn around! There are many mansions of common people and officials, and several families. It’s simply not enough room for ten people! It’s time to expand the city!”
"Your Majesty is wise and should have expanded the city long ago! Our Nalan Kingdom is a huge country. As the imperial capital, the capital is not half as big as the imperial capital of Beiming Kingdom! Over the past hundred years, the imperial capitals of the other five countries have been expanded several times. Second city, our Nalan Kingdom has not expanded even once, and has been surpassed by other countries! Now the imperial capitals of all countries are larger than our capital! When the Longevity Festival comes and envoys from various countries come to visit, it will be time to laugh at our Nalan The emperor is too young!"
"Your Majesty is wise, the capital city now has a population of hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of people are squeezed into a small space. It is really oppressive! It is indeed time to expand the city!"
... ... .
After the city is expanded, they can buy land and build houses and shops, which will give their family a lot of extra income.
In addition, the children in the family are older and there are many descendants. The residences of many fourth-rank officials in the court are very small, and there is not enough room for the whole family.
After the city is expanded, a large mansion will be built so that one can live more comfortably.
When people live this life, don’t they just want to live well and eat well
The emperor also guessed that the Manchu Civil and Military Council would agree to this, and he said happily: "How do you think this city can be expanded?"
However, the Minister of Hube was so frightened that his legs shook.
Almost died of myocardial infarction!
The Minister of Hubu immediately thought about whether the treasury had enough money
The treasury had just received a sum of money because of the recovery of Huainan Mansion. He felt relieved. The emperor was thinking of expanding the city
How much money is needed to expand the city
Not enough, absolutely not enough!
"Your Majesty, think twice!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance suddenly howled wildly!
The whole court was shocked.
The emperor glanced at the Minister of Hubu with a guilty look. The money for city expansion had to be increased and reduced by the Minister of Hubu!
This city indeed had to be built, and of course he did not ask for it to be completed in a year and a half.
All the officials looked at the Minister of Hubu: "Master Fang, why are you so excited! Isn't it good to expand the city?"
"Yes, the capital is now full of people, and expanding the city can relieve the pressure! This is obviously a good thing, why do you need to think twice!"
Just now when the emperor appointed Wang Xiao as a second-grade general, he didn't see him shouting that the emperor should think twice. It's such a great thing now. Why should he think twice
Think three times, four times, and five times to build a city!
The only thing the Minister of the Ministry of Finance did not do was look bad at them!
The money is not in their hands, so of course they are clamoring for it.
This city expansion will bring many benefits to everyone!
Don't think he doesn't know.
However, even if he thought about the huge sum of money for expanding the city, he would not be able to get it!
The Minister of Revenue felt sad when he thought of his half-bald head under his official hat.
The silver waste in this city is noisy!
The Minister of Hubu looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, the expansion of the capital city is necessary, but the Nalan Kingdom has just settled down, and Wei Chen believes that it should be slowed down a little longer!"
The Minister of Hubu almost shouted, Your Majesty, you don’t have enough money! Don't you know what you don't think about? You want to expand the city. How many hairs do you have on your body
The emperor waved his hand: "Master Fang, don't worry too much, the expansion of the city is inevitable. It's better to plan carefully how to expand the city! You don't have to worry about money, I only have a way!"
Why the emperor decided to expand the city today is naturally because the memorial Wang Xiao uploaded this morning contained evidence of collusion between the Dongling Kingdom and the King of Huainan. He would not be able to do anything unless he punished the Dongling Kingdom!
The emperor was still thinking that the large sum of money that the Guo family had swallowed from the previous treasury was still missing, but as long as it was found, there would be no worries about expanding the city!
Anyway, he had already thought of the source of money for city expansion.
If the city is expanded as soon as possible, he can retreat as soon as possible.
This was his last wish.
In this way, his life as an emperor should be considered complete.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance wants to cry. He doesn't have to worry about money? No need for bullshit!
Doesn’t he know how much money there is in the treasury
But looking at the emperor's posture, the city has been expanded.
Want to cry but no tears!
Regarding how to expand the city, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had ideas in mind!
Everyone’s positive performance:
"Your Majesty, city expansion is a big deal. For the first time in more than a hundred years, we have to expand the city big enough to be used by Nalan Kingdom for thousands of generations! I think we should expand a circle around the imperial capital city, with a radius of about 100 Come around!"
Expand a circle and cover a hundred miles? The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat, his beard twitched, and he glanced at him: Check whether his shop has paid all the taxes. If there is a penny less, his salary will be deducted for a year!
