"Your Majesty, the construction of the Daming Palace and the expansion of Chang'an City will be borne by the minister. However, if there is any benefit from it, I don't know..." Li Wangyou immediately asked again.

One can imagine the benefits of expanding half of Chang'an City once it is completed.

Naturally, Li Wangyou had to make sure of this matter first, otherwise if someone picked the peaches in the future, wouldn't he be in vain for fetching water from a bamboo basket?

However, neither Li Er nor Fang Xuanling and the others believed that the expansion of Chang'an City would be profitable, so after hearing his words, they all shook their heads and smiled wryly.

Li Er was also very helpless, shaking his head and sighing: "If Ziyou has the ability to make money from it, all of it will naturally belong to the Qin Palace, and I and the court will not get a penny!"

Wang Ying and other officials of the aristocratic family also looked like they were looking at fools, and smiled without saying a word.

In the eyes of everyone, not to mention how much money is needed to build the Daming Palace, just expanding half of Chang'an City and building the walls of the outer city can empty the entire family of Qin Wangfu.

Still wanting to make a profit from it, that's completely idiotic.

In fact, their calculations are not wrong. Historically, the Northern Song Dynasty expanded the capital Bianliang, that is, Kaifeng City. It took three years to build a city wall of more than 30 miles. There were more than [-] people who conquered it.

So how many civilians will be needed to expand half of Chang'an City?

Even if the civil servants belong to the imperial court and do not need to pay wages, but with so many civil servants, they have to take care of the food, right?With so many people, the daily expenses of eating and drinking alone are a huge sum.

Qin Wang Li Wangyou is willing to spend his family's wealth to do such a thankless task, and they are naturally happy to see the result.

What's more, they didn't believe that Li Wangyou had enough financial resources to complete the construction of the Daming Palace in Nuoda within a year.

Both sides have their own ideas, but it is a tacit understanding that such a big matter was confirmed at the court meeting.Li Er issued an imperial decree, handing over the construction of the new palace and the expansion of Chang'an City to Li Wangyou.

Li Wangyou was very satisfied with the result. After he came down to court, he declined Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and other big bosses to persuade him to stay, and led several of his disciples directly, and returned to Dingzhou Village.

Along the way, Ma Zhou and the others kept their mouths shut, but their expressions were very miserable.

Ma Zhou, in particular, was extremely remorseful.In their thinking, Li Wangyou's move was all to clean up the mess for them.

But to pay such a high price, how can the disciples not be worried?

Li Wangyou ignored Ma Zhou and the others. After returning to Dingzhou Village, he immediately called Su Changqing to announce the good news.

"Changqing, hey, it's done! Your Majesty has entrusted our family with the construction of the Daming Palace and the expansion of Chang'an City!" Li Wangyou laughed and picked up a pair of children, and walked around excitedly: "Ah! , Badger, your father is going to make money for you again! You two little guys are so happy, you were born as the 'rich second generation'! Are you happy?"

Li Wangyou's performance made Ma Zhou and others look at each other in blank dismay, wondering what was wrong with their teacher?

Although they couldn't understand the words "rich second generation", they still roughly understood the meaning of Li Wangyou's words.

What does it mean to make money again?

Is it still profitable?

Ma Zhou hesitated for a while, but finally he dared to speak out and asked, "Master, what did you mean by what you said just now?"

Li Wangyou ignored him, and teased the two children on his own, but Su Changqing couldn't bear to see Ma Zhou and the others look ashamed, so he spoke out to tell the whole story about her and Li Wangyou's plan.

After understanding Su Changqing's words, Ma Zhou, Yan Liben and the others looked as if they had seen a ghost, and looked at Li Wangyou who was teasing with their children in disbelief.

No matter what, they never imagined that their teacher could actually take advantage of this kind of thing for profit...

When Ma Zhou and the others were in a daze, the old butler Li Heng hurried over: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty and the Lords are here..."

(Okay, this chapter is definitely at its worst... Let the old man adjust his state...)

1064 fried land

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the end of the seventh year of Zhenguan has quietly arrived.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the court had already begun to celebrate the Lunar New Year’s Eve holiday, and all government offices and offices stopped their official duties and prepared to go home to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

However, the people of Chang'an City who have always loved gossip, today, when the morning drum was beating and the gate was opened, they keenly noticed that there seemed to be another major event in Chang'an City.

The common people living in various Lifangs near the eastern and western cities discovered early this morning that the wealthy merchants and barbarian merchants were wearing new clothes, leaving the gates of the workshops and heading for the gates in the north of the city.

And the high-ranking officials and nobles who lived in various Lifangs in the north of the city were also like this. Surrounded by the guards of the mansion, they headed for the Nine Gates in the north of the city.

In the past six months, the nine city gates in the north of Chang'an City have long been closed.

Outside the north nine gates of Chang'an City, His Highness King Qin is building the Daming Palace and expanding Chang'an City, which has long been known to everyone.

Therefore, these big men who are either rich or expensive today rushed to the north of the city in a swarm, which naturally caused another burst of gossip among the people of Chang'an City.

The common people will not worry about whether Li Wangyou has enough financial resources to complete the two projects like the princes of the court. The state treasury and the treasury of Prince Qin's Mansion, which store more gold and other topics.

The north of Chang'an City has long been turned into a huge construction site. Hundreds of thousands of peasants and craftsmen recruited from Guanzhong Road are busy here every day.

An endless stream of four-wheeled carriages, like a colony of ants, transported all kinds of wood, stone, masonry and other construction materials from all over the Tang Dynasty, and transported them to the north of Chang'an City in an endless stream.

After half a year of construction, the Daming Palace has begun to take shape.

At this moment, outside the thick vermilion walls of Daming Palace, the dignitaries of Chang'an City, rich merchants, Persian merchants and others have gathered.

The princes of the court insisted that their identities were different, so they naturally crowded together with those merchants and Hu merchants, communicating with each other in a low voice.

"My lords, His Majesty summoned us here today, but I don't know why?"

"That's right, it's fine if it's just the princes in the court, but why did these merchants and Hu merchants appear here?"

"Your Majesty is too tolerant of these merchants and merchants."

Merchants and rich merchants are also gathering together to whisper at this moment.

"Chou Gong, I don't know what the King of Qin called us to come here today, what is the so-called reason? Please ask Qiu Gong to clarify the confusion for us."

The one who was surrounded by merchants was Qiu Yuanliang, the patriarch of the Qiu family in Chang'an.

It is well known that the Chou family has a close relationship with the Qin Palace.Moreover, relying on King Qin's care, the Chou family's business is also getting bigger and bigger. Now in the east and west of Chang'an City, the Chou family can be said to be very prosperous.

Qiu Yuanliang was more respected by merchants, and even because of the relationship between King Qin and Li Wangyou, even those court officials had to politely address Qiu Yuanliang as "Chou Gong" when they saw him.

He twirled his beard and smiled, but he didn't answer, but put it off: "Everyone, it's not a bad thing for the King of Qin to invite me here. What's the matter, please be patient, and we'll know later."

Seeing that Qiu Yuanliang refused to speak, the merchants were even more curious.

But judging from his attitude, it shouldn't be a bad thing, so even though they were suspicious, these merchants and Hu merchants were not entangled, and instead admired the brand new Daming Palace in front of them.

Although the Daming Palace has not yet been completed, the towering and thick vermilion palace walls and palace gates in front of everyone have already demonstrated the royal aura of the Tang Dynasty, making everyone yearn for the magnificent appearance inside the palace gate.

Now that half a year has passed, even ordinary people in Chang'an City have been able to raise their eyes and see the new palace named "Daming Palace" in the north of the city, a towering and huge building that is constantly increasing in height every day.

Naturally, they didn't know that that majestic building was the core of the Daming Palace, the Liangyi Hall, Li Er's bedroom, designed by Li Wangyou.

The eight-storey Liangyi Hall has now been completed and capped.
