Wen Nuan smiled: "A wide river has a wide solution! Your Majesty, let's take a look at the bridge designed by my daughter."
The emperor became interested when he heard this: "Okay, Princess Hui'an can also design bridges, so you can draw them for me to see!"
"I can only draw what the bridge looks like. How to build it depends on people from the Ministry of Works."
Wen Nuan cannot design a bridge, but she knows that after she draws it, the bridge experts in this world will naturally make it!
She can also give some advice on mechanical issues.
Eunuch Lin immediately waited on the pen and ink.
Nuan Nuan was painting on the side, and when she finished painting, she gave some explanations.
The emperor exclaimed repeatedly: "What a 'Eighteen shuttles and twenty-four continents'! What a 'one mile long bridge and one mile city'! It can facilitate the passage of people without hindering the passage of merchant ships! People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can also do things on it Buy and sell! One bridge can be used for two purposes, without delaying each other! Haha... After the bridge is built, people in Beiming Kingdom will say that no one in Nalan Kingdom knows how to build a bridge!"
Eunuch Lin couldn't help but praise: "Princess Hui'an is so amazing, she can even think of such a bridge."
Warmth: "... Haha, that's not what I thought."
After the emperor was excited, he thought about the issue of money again: "But! Princess Hui'an, will it cost too much money to build this bridge? It will cost a lot of money to expand the outer city. The treasury is empty! I think so too. Build this bridge, but wait for three to five years! Wait until the outer city is expanded and the treasury will wait for a while before we talk!"
They are also building pavilions and pavilions on the bridge. My dear, Princess Hui'an really dares to think about it!
This single bridge pier costs hundreds of thousands of taels!
It cost tens of millions of taels to build a bridge, and the pier was not yet built. The emperor could not help but shudder!
Don't ask him to marry you, ask her to marry you!
When he abdicates the throne and makes way for someone more worthy, he will propose it and let the seventeenth emperor brother complete it!
In this way, the bridge's contribution will have its own name in the history books.
The emperor has beautiful thoughts!
Nuan Nuan waved his hand: "I am here to donate and build this bridge!"
If Wen Jiarui succeeds in requesting the two salt cities from the Dongling Kingdom, and the emperor can give An Guogong a salt lead, she will be able to get the money for the bridge soon.
The emperor was really shocked now: "Is Princess Hui'an serious about what she said?"
Wen Nuan nodded: "To eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor, my daughter is considered half a royal! This thing that benefits the people is natural and true! It's just that my daughter doesn't have that much money at the moment, so We have to wait! We can’t take it out until Nanyang Mansion and Nanning County have enough food towns, but the emperor can arrange for officials to think about how to build it.”
"Haha... Okay! If Princess Hui'an has more people like you, I can sit back and relax!" The emperor was really moved at this moment!
He glanced at Nalan Jinnian and suddenly felt extremely disgusted!
What's the use of having a younger brother here? He will only cheat him out of his money, but his younger brother-in-law is more reliable.
Princess Hui'an is really a considerate little cotton-padded jacket.
The emperor was now looking at the long bridge with carved beams and painted buildings painted by Wen Nuan, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became!
It would be nice if it could be built before the Longevity Festival, but the emperor knew it was impossible. It would take at least five or six years to complete such a bridge.
The water conditions of the Qinglong River are complicated. During the flood season every year, the water of the two rivers merges, and the rolling water is very fast.
So we really need to let people from the Ministry of Industry carefully study how to build this bridge.
The emperor thought about it and thought about the Beiming Kingdom. The Beiming Kingdom would definitely make things difficult for him during the Longevity Festival. When the time came, he would take the initiative and use this bridge to compete with the Beiming Kingdom in building a bridge!
Ha ha... ...
The Beiming Kingdom is much stronger than the Nalan Kingdom in terms of shipbuilding, bridge building and road paving. That is why the Beiming Kingdom is rich and powerful. It has been prosperous for more than two hundred years without any sign of decline, and it even almost unified the world!
Thinking about it, I feel really envious and jealous.
Nalan Jinnian: "Brother Emperor, what reward can Princess Hui'an get for taking care of your worries like this?"
Emperor: "......"
Look!
Isn’t the emperor’s younger brother annoying
However, the emperor smiled: "Haha... there should be a reward."
His sister-in-law is so generous and often solves her own problems. As an uncle, he can't be too stingy.
The emperor pondered for a moment: "What reward does Princess Hui'an want?"
Wen Nuan hasn’t said anything yet.
Nalan Jinnian said: "Brother Emperor, if Duke An Guo succeeds in claiming a salt city in Dongling Kingdom, how about you give her the seal of the Salt Transport Department and a salt guide?"
The seal of the Yanyun Division and the Yanyin
The Salt Transportation Department is the official in charge of the salt field, and the Salt Yin is the voucher issued to merchants to collect and transport salt.
No salt officer is not rich!
Giving the reward to Princess Hui'an can be considered as a way to keep the wealth from flowing into other people's fields.
Moreover, when Princess Hui'an made money, she was not like other people who had money in and out!
Besides, Princess Hui'an has made money. Will the bridge be built faster
The emperor said generously: "Okay, I'll give you the palm seal and salt guide!"
In fact, officials are not allowed to do business, but their families and relatives can. The emperor turns a blind eye to this matter. As long as he does not take bribes, evade taxes, or go too far, he will not pursue it!
If the water is clear, there will be no fish!
After all, the salary of this court is not that much.
Wen Nuan said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"
With the Yan Palm Seal and Yan Yin, she can be rewarded with boiling the sea into salt in Nanyang Mansion.
Of course, we have to wait until we succeed in boiling the sea into salt.
Nuan Nuan plans to give this to the emperor as a birthday gift!
The emperor waved his hand: "You're welcome, Princess Hui'an! From now on, when you make money, just don't forget to benefit the people."
Thinking of Emperor Yinzi, he sighed:
"Princess Hui'an, brother of the Seventeenth Emperor, I have called you into the palace this time to discuss the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet and the Wanshou Festival."
The emperor showed Nuan Nuan the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet dishes and the Wanshou Festival menu drawn up by Concubine Li.
Nuan Nuan took it and looked at it seriously.
After Nalan Jinnian took one look at it, he was no longer interested: "It's good but not useful!"
For the first time, the emperor agreed with Nalan Jinnian's words.
"Princess Hui'an, look at the two menus, what do you think of the dishes at the palace banquet? I think the dishes cooked by the cook of Anguo Duke's Mansion are really delicious and full of color, aroma and flavor, so I want to hear your opinion. "
Every year, the palace banquet is full of these delicacies from the mountains and seas, birds and animals, showing the royal wealth!
Both the Queen and Concubine Li arrange as many expensive dishes as they have.
After a palace banquet, just buying the ingredients would cost one hundred thousand taels of silver!
Sometimes even 120,000 to 30,000 taels.
Concubine Li probably overspent every palace banquet in order to show that she was better than the previous empress. The dishes for this Mid-Autumn Palace banquet were magnificent, and the purchase of ingredients cost 180,000 taels.
It’s getting too much!
He is so poor!
This year is relatively poor, and the emperor is really reluctant to part with it.
This extra hundreds of thousands taels of silver will be used to pave roads. Wouldn't it be nice to build bridges
