Many officials also stood up and stated the reasons why it was inappropriate to expand the city outside the West City Gate!
What, saying that Princess Hui'an bought all the land there, but they couldn't buy it, so they didn't want to expand the city outside the west city gate
For such a stupid reason, they will only complain at home, but they will never tell anyone!
Otherwise, wouldn’t it offend King Jin and Princess Hui’an
Those who have blatantly offended the two of them recently seem to have no happy ending!
However, the expansion of the city is of great importance. How can they be willing to accept such a big piece of fat without taking a big bite
Anyway, they just picked out a geomantic treasure land to expand the city!
So those officials began to talk about the benefits of expanding the East City Gate:
Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "Your Majesty, in the area around the east city gate, the ground is flat, the water conservancy is smooth, and the soil is fertile. The mountains in the southeast are surrounded by mountains like many gates and locks, which naturally forms a protection! The waters of the Qinglong River are circuitous, running through and going west. With mountains and rivers, this is a geomantic treasure land, perfect for city expansion!"
Prime Minister Li continued: "Outside the east city gate, it is adjacent to Jincheng. It is expanding outwards and getting closer to Jincheng. In this way, the two cities help each other and develop together! It is also conducive to the development of hundreds of thousands of people between the two cities, and the city will rise immediately. improved the living standards of hundreds of thousands of people.
In the future, when the imperial court becomes more prosperous and needs to expand the city for the final time, wouldn't it be convenient to build a long city wall directly between the two cities and merge the two cities into one city? "
... ...
Wen Nuan smiled: "The terrain of East City is indeed flat and the land is fertile. If it is convenient, it is indeed very suitable for city expansion! The terrain is flat and the land is fertile because it is fertile farmland! Occupying fertile farmland to expand the city? How much does the court's food production decrease every year?"
Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "If we open up the wasteland around the West City Gate to make fertile farmland and build water conservancy projects, wouldn't this problem be solved?"
Wen Nuan smiled: "It's not impossible to cultivate fertile land from wasteland, but why hasn't it been cultivated for so many years?"
Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "Of course, if we open up wasteland there, the wind and sand will inevitably intensify, which will seriously affect the capital. Moreover, there are floods there every year, which is not conducive to the development of farmland! But the problem of water conservancy will be solved. I have been thinking about it for so many years. To solve the flood problem in that area, we have now thought of a way to solve the flood problem!"
Wen Nuan smiled: "Then why bother? It's so troublesome? Since there is a way to solve the flood, then building the city won't be a problem?! Why occupy the fertile land in the East City? There is a grain harvest every year, which is not as good as raising it for several years. Good farmland is the only way to harvest food?"
The Minister of Industry was speechless!
But Xin said: Of course you want to!
Nuan Nuan continued: "How far is it between Jincheng and Beijing?"
"About two hundred miles." Nalan Jinnian replied calmly.
Nuan Nuan nodded: "With a city wall of two hundred miles, our Nalan Kingdom must be the first in the mainland!"
Prime Minister Li: "Nalan Kingdom has been expanding its two cities again and again for thousands of generations! Isn't it? Such a great project will surely shock all countries and be famous forever!"
Wen Nuan nodded: "Yes! How many soldiers should be arranged to guard the city every day? Is it necessary? What is the role of the city? Prime Minister?"
Prime Minister Li: "......"
The biggest function of the city is that when a war breaks out, the people outside the city can run to the city to take shelter, so there is a guarantee!
Therefore, as long as the city is large enough, bigger is not always better!
Wen Nuan continued: "Building such a long city wall, I also think it will be famous throughout the ages! It's just the difference between being stupid and being wise!"
Prime Minister Li was also angry and snorted: "Princess Hui'an is so opposed to building the city in the East City and supports building the city in the West City Gate area, just because you bought all the wasteland for your own personal gain!"
Wen Nuan smiled: "The Prime Minister is so angry now? Are you talking about yourself? The Prime Minister is so opposed to the expansion of the city outside the West City Gate, but supports the expansion of the city outside the East City Gate, just because you bought it outside the East City Gate That’s a lot of land! Besides, when did I buy all the land in that area, why didn’t I know?”
Those lands all belong to Nalan Jinnian!
The minister of the Ministry of Industry said: "Princess Hui'an does not need to deny it. This matter will be known after checking it in the Yamen! Your Majesty, Princess Hui'an bought so much land at a low price. She will never be able to finish the construction on so much land! She will definitely I received the news of city expansion, so I took the opportunity to buy it at a low price, and then sell it to the court and others at a high price to make huge profits!"
Prime Minister Li: "Your Majesty, Princess Hui'an's move is really too selfish!"
Nuan Nuan ignored what the two said and looked at Nalan Jinnian.
When did the land become hers? Why didn’t she know
Nalan Jinnian smiled: "At the beginning of the year, you said you wanted to buy a piece of land on the outskirts of the city, build a few shops, and do some business, because at that time the shops in the city were not for sale, and you had nowhere to buy a shop! I will transfer all the land to your name, and whoever can use it will treat it as paying a small portion of the gift in advance!"
warmth:"... ... ."
Emperor: "......"
No matter what, he really wants to be the daughter-in-law of the Seventeenth Emperor's brother!
Why is there such a gap between the emperor's brother and his wife
The emperor admitted that he was sour!
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "......"
King Jin is so generous!
This can be regarded as a direct gift to a city!
Just a small part
Nalan Jinnian looked at the emperor: "Brother, I bought the land ten years ago, and it wasn't bought in one year, it was divided over several years! And this land was bought at the beginning of last year." It's in the name of Princess Hui'an. We'll find out after checking it in the Yamen! Brother Emperor, did you want to build a city like this ten years ago?"
The emperor shook his head: "At that time, where was the money in the treasury? At that time, I only thought about the peace and prosperity of the country and the people!"
What was the situation ten years ago
The emperor had only been on the throne for a few years, and it was the time when efforts were being made to clean up corrupt officials. The country was in turmoil, and the northwest was harassed every year. He almost marched straight in and captured the northwest border!
In those few years, Nalan Kingdom seemed to be in bad luck. Natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, and the people were in dire straits. Life was miserable, and all the money from the national treasury was used for disaster relief!
How could the emperor think about expanding the city!
It’s already great to be able to stabilize Nalan Country!
Many veterans are worried that the country will be destroyed!
Everyone: "......"
So King Jin thought ten years ago that today, ten years later, the Nalan Congress would be prosperous again, even stronger!
Then, if the capital city is not enough, will it be expanded
Ten years ago, how old was King Jin
Be nine!
At the age of nine, he thought about the future expansion of the city and started to buy this land
No, he bought it in installments. How many years was it divided? How old was King Jin at that time? !
The more everyone thought about it, the more frightened they became!
How old can a child be to predict that the city will expand in a dozen years? !
Such foresight and vision are truly terrifying!
Everyone looked at Nalan Jinnian with fear and shock in their eyes!
How many years into the future can he calculate
