"Your Majesty, city expansion is a major matter and cannot be accomplished overnight. We think that we should first select a certain area and build an outer city! It doesn't have to be too big. Just add half the capital to the city!"
Half the capital is so big
No need for money? !
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance glanced at him: Deduct his salary! He collected the fertile farmland on the outskirts of his home city and built it! You can also lose a little less money!
"Your Majesty..."
Next each official says something.
The Minister of Household Affairs glared at him and deducted his salary! Donate money! Donate land!
He was thinking about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, save some money to expand the city!
Hum hum... When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible!
The matter of city expansion was finally discussed.
It is naturally impossible to expand a circle around the capital, as it would cost too much.
Although the emperor wants to steal another sum of money from Dongling Kingdom, Dongling Kingdom is not a fool. If it goes too far, no one else will give it to him!
Therefore, the final plan was: to build an outer city outside a certain city gate. Which city gate should be built at, how big the addition should be, and how to build it should be discussed.
Although the expansion of the city has been proposed, the follow-up needs to be carefully planned.
The expansion of the city is not just a matter of construction. Urban roads and land distribution must be in appropriate proportions.
Corresponding conditions such as city construction, war preparations, population growth trends, food, and the amount of fertile land occupied must all be considered together.
City planning requires important considerations: strategy, defense and overall usage concepts.
Consider the clever combination of the city and nature to achieve the unity of nature and man, and pay attention to Feng Shui issues.
There is also a strict sense of hierarchy to consider.
This dynasty valued hierarchy and divided people into three, six or nine grades. Those living near the palace would definitely not be the homes of ordinary people!
Even if you are a powerful person, you still need to pay attention to the three-level city system: capital, royal city and prince city.
In short, there is an area for the powerful, another area for the businessmen, and another area for the common people.
There are also subdivided areas within the area.
Also consider the functional zoning of the land and the road system, etc.
In short, there are many things to consider.
It is estimated that it will take a month or two to plan the outer city. By then, Dongling's money should be almost recovered.
Down towards the back
All the civil and military officials of the court hurriedly ran back to the mansion to inform their families and hurriedly went to look at the nearby land outside the city. Although the location of the outer city had not been decided yet, the city plan had not yet been released! But it’s never wrong to buy the good land first!
As the saying goes, strike first to gain strength, strike later and suffer disaster!
Picking up a lost outfit is worse than a prodigal one!
General Tang was still feeling unhappy and walked slowly.
Prime Minister Li's arms and legs were also slower than the others. Seeing General Tang's disappointed look, he walked over and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong! It's like he can't see other people's contributions in the past two years. All the credit goes to one family!”
The Minister of Industry also came over and whispered: "This General Wang Xiao is a person sent by the late emperor. Who believes this! He is lucky! He is the uncle of Princess Hui'an! King Jin drank Princess Hui'an's charm It’s just dizzy from the soup!”
Prime Minister Li: "Princess Hui'an, is a woman really so capable? This time her father has been granted the title of Duke! Has she really made such a great contribution? Didn't King Jin give all the credit to her in the memorial! Tang Tang General, I really can't help you! When General Guo was here, you were still the most promising general in Nalan Kingdom, but now you don't even know... "
He shook his head and said no more.
General Tang clenched his fists: Princess Hui'an is indeed very powerful, but is she really the only one who takes credit for the capture of Nanyang City
The city gates were broken down by my own troops!
Why did I only upgrade to one level
Under everyone
"Excuse me!" General Tang thought of this and strode away.
Prime Minister Li and the Minister of Industry looked at each other.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I still have something to do, so I need to take the first step!"
Go back home and buy land!
Prime Minister Li also thought of buying land and accelerated his pace.
Fortunately, the Prime Minister's Mansion is close to the palace gate.
Many officials returned home and quickly asked their stewards and wives to buy land outside the city!
Although it has not yet been decided how the city will be built and how it will be planned at that time, many ladies still have some discernment in choosing a good piece of land.
For a time, many officials' families hurried out of the city.
The suburbs suddenly became lively.
Nuan Nuan went to the outskirts of the city with Nalan Jinnian today to see the construction status of the shops and buildings.
She checked the account book last night, and today she settled last month's arrears of 100,000 taels to the Fu family, and then handed over this month's budget of 200,000 taels, leaving only 300,000 taels left at home.
Fortunately, it's the end of the month, and there will be income from various stores soon.
The money is spent too quickly, and the dowry must not be missing as Tenderness and Warmth get married during the New Year.
Nuan Nuan felt that she had to find a way to make money again.
This piece of land has already cost 1.6 million taels, because warmth requires that all materials be used well.
But there are still results. A magnificent inn has been built, and it has two entrances. The one in the backyard is the quietest, so the row of houses has been built with a maximum of five floors.
The one in front is on the third floor.
The east and west wing rooms on both sides are designed on two floors, each with an independent courtyard and kitchen.
This is convenient for wealthy students to move in.
The downstairs is used for servants and living, while the upstairs is used for students to rest and study.
The three floors in front are the inn's restaurant, where students and guests can dine.
Then there is a three-story cloth shop next to it, with groceries on the three floors, all with a backyard.
The area is not as large as that of an inn, but as a clothing store and grocery store, it has never been larger than that of a person from this dynasty!
Buzhuang Wenwen plans to give Wen Wen as a dowry in the future.
The grocery store was given to Wen Xin as a dowry.
There are just three shops, and there are some shops that are half built and half a street of shops that are not built yet.
And a lot of high-quality materials that have been ordered or deposited, such as wood, bricks, glazed tiles, glazed windows, furniture, porcelain, bluestone paving, etc.
It has already spent 1.6 million taels!
This is the friendly price charged by the Fu family!
At this moment, Wen Nuan and Nalan Jinnian are inspecting the grocery store.
A Fu family foreman in charge of this grocery store is now looking around with warmth.
Nalan Jinnian glanced at the shop: "The third-floor grocery store, what are you selling here?"
Wen Nuan smiled mysteriously: "I won't tell you! I guarantee it will be an eye-opener for you!"
Nalan Jinnian smiled.
Foreman Fu heard the conversation between Wen Nuan and Nalan Jinnian. Does this mean that such a big three-story shop can be used as a grocery store
He couldn't help but persuade: "Princess Hui'an, it's a pity to use such a big shop as a grocery store! I thought you planned to use it as a restaurant, teahouse or something like that."
Wen Nuan smiled: "It's a pity, Foreman Fu will know it by then! Once my grocery store opens, it is estimated that many people will ask you to build the same store as a grocery store in the future!"
