Nalan Jinnian glanced at the group of lemon trees: "My lords, you need to send someone to Shuntianfu Yamen to drop the files and check whether I bought the land many years ago and then transferred the land at the beginning of this year. In the name of Princess Hui’an?”
In fact, Nalan Jinnian had forgotten the exact year he bought the land and didn't keep it in mind.
Anyway, he has a plan in mind and will definitely expand the city!
He was still a child at that time, the age when he started working hard to earn money. There were many places to spend money, and he didn't have much silver in his hands, so he would buy when he had money, and when he had money, he would buy.
Everyone: "......"
Go crazy!
They haven’t even gotten married yet!
Just transfer all the land to Princess Hui'an
What if something unexpected happens... What if we can't get married by then
Doesn't that mean there's nothing left
Everyone thought that King Jin was out of his mind.
Fortunately, King Jin is a prince, not a prince, and does not need to inherit the throne. Otherwise, Princess Hui'an will definitely be a demon concubine who will bring disaster to the country!
It is estimated that when King Jin became the emperor, he would like to give her the entire kingdom!
Everyone looked at Princess Hui'an with envy and jealousy!
Why doesn't King Jin like his own daughter
Nuan Nuan was also frightened by Nalan Jinnian's sexy moves!
This person... .....
Nalan Jinnian didn't think anything of it. He ignored everyone's expressions of being struck by lightning and continued: "Brother Emperor, as far as I know, the land outside the southeast and north city gates was snapped up by many people yesterday. Especially in the area outside the East City Gate, Prime Minister Li and the Minister of Industry bought the most land! That's why they were so righteous and determined to expand the city there today in the court! May I ask, brother, who is using power for personal gain? ? In order to seek personal gain for yourself, you openly occupy hundreds of fertile fields without considering the collective interests of the court and the people? Only care about your own benefits? Who is selfish?!"
Nalan Jinnian, after you finished speaking, you looked at Prime Minister Li and the Minister of Industry: "I see, you are the ones who are selfish!"
The expressions of Prime Minister Li and the Minister of Industry changed and they stood up: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I don't dare!"
Those officials who just supported the expansion of the city in the east also stood up and expressed their fear!
They originally thought that Princess Hui'an would buy such a large area, but the land they bought was less than one-tenth of that of Princess Hui'an, and many ministers also bought it. Compared with Princess Hui'an, it was simply dwarfed!
Princess Hui'an has the reputation of being the most greedy and selfish person!
What you do can only be regarded as human nature.
After all, everyone will look out for their own interests, right
Just don’t go overboard!
Princess Hui'an can't do this almost exclusively!
But who knew that Princess Hui’an’s land was bought by King Jin ten years ago!
Ten years ago, the area around the capital was not what it is today.
Only the area outside the north and south city gates has more villages and is more prosperous.
Who would have thought that today Nalan Kingdom would become prosperous again and even expand its city!
If King Jin or Princess Hui'an knew in advance that the emperor was about to expand the city and seize the opportunity, then this opportunity came too early!
Who can blame this? I blame myself for not being as discerning as others!
Nalan Jinnian did not intend to just let it go: "Do you still remember what the east side looked like ten years ago?"
The Secretary of the Household Department immediately stood up: "Ten years ago, the east side was almost the same as the west side now! It was even more desolate than the west side now, with lots of rocks! It must have taken a lot of manpower and material resources to achieve the relatively prosperous scene today."
Prime Minister Li then remembered that the east side was desolate ten years ago, and then it was cultivated and cultivated for several years, turning it into hundreds of hectares of fertile land!
Later, the court directly distributed these fields to the people in more than a dozen villages near the capital. The people voluntarily paid more grain every year than in other places. They were grateful that the court gave their family two acres of land for free.
It seems that King Jin proposed to open up the east side, create hundreds of hectares of fertile land, and distribute the land to the people!
And the water conservancy over there was also designed by King Jin!
A river was dug directly, several creeks were built, and water was diverted to the fields. Three years later, hundreds of hectares of fertile farmland were created!
Several hills were also cleared to create terraced fields.
At that time, King Jin was only called ten years old, but he was only nine years old!
Not many people know about this, but Prime Minister Li still knows.
The emperor coughed: "Well, the area to the east is not suitable for city expansion. It is not easy to cultivate hundreds of hectares of fertile farmland, and it also affects the interests of many people in the suburbs. I have considered it again and again, and the area outside the west city gate to expand the city is not suitable. , this matter is settled, so and so, didn’t everyone start buying land eleven years ago! Now, dear friends, start thinking about how to plan the city!"
“…”
Everyone's lips twitched. Did you start buying land eleven years ago? Your Majesty, you really dare to say that!
The Prime Minister, the Minister of Industry and others felt as if they were mourning for their heirs!
It’s over!
To the west, they don’t have any land!
The Minister of Hube’s mind was settled!
I knew I couldn’t go wrong by following King Jin!
Ten years ago, he also bought a piece of land in the west. He saved it with his daily pocket money, which cost him five taels of silver!
Over the years, although he only had five pennies in his pocket every day, due to the secret filial piety of his son and grandson, he also made a fortune for himself, just in time to build a shop. Then he no longer had to carry only five pennies in his pocket every day!
After thirty years of marriage, I only had five cents in my pocket every day for thirty years!
Shangshu Hube felt that he would soon be able to live a life of singing songs as a retired serf.
Lin Tingxuan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, the Military and Horse Secretary of the Five Cities, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment were all secretly happy!
Yesterday, they ran to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen after leaving the office to check the land purchased by Princess Hui'an. Then they found out that Princess Hui'an had bought a large piece of wasteland outside the Xicheng Gate. They immediately went back and sent stewards to the nearby villages outside the Xicheng Gate. Negotiated with the villagers and bought many villagers' homesteads, some vegetable gardens, bamboo forests and other places.
Moreover, they were bought with ten times more money than the market price, and they told the villagers that the city was about to be expanded, and their houses would become houses in the city in the future, and they might even be converted into shops in the city!
Of course, they might also be requisitioned by the court to remind them not to spend the money indiscriminately. When the time comes, they can renovate their own houses and turn them into shops. Why worry about not having a livelihood in the future
Those villagers sent them away gratefully!
Then the emperor said some other things, and then withdrew from the court.
After retreating from the court, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Industry and others hurried back home.
The Prime Minister's wife and Li Wanwan had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
When the two saw the Prime Minister coming back, they immediately said, "How is it? Has the city expansion been decided?"
It's in the area outside the East City Gate!
The Prime Minister's wife couldn't help but smile when she thought that one-third of the new city would be her own shop in the future!
Li Wanwan is also happy. Her dowry can give her a few more shops, which is better than anything else!
