The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Jiajing immediately rejoiced: "Yan Aiqing has earned so much money for me, it would be too wasteful not to enjoy it, and besides, it's all money from the internal treasury, and those stingy elders can't say anything. It's settled!"

He immediately sent an order: "Look for the Minister of Industry, Yuan Shijiao!"

Huang Jin ran to the Ministry of Industry and called Yuan Shijiao, who was exhausted and wheezing, to Xiyuan.

Yuan Shijiao didn't know what went wrong, and hurried over again, knelt down cautiously and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have banned the Prince's East Palace according to the imperial decree..."

"I didn't ask you this!" Jiajing said impatiently, "I called you here because I gave you an important task. If you do this task well, it's not difficult to get promoted. If you don't do well, be careful!"

Jiajing has only two attitudes towards his courtiers, one is towards Yan Song, Lu Bing and his favorite Taoist priest, and the other is towards dogs and other courtiers...

Unfortunately, Yuan Shijiao is worse than a dog even if he is someone else, and Jiajing scolds and shouts at him at every turn.

Yuan Shijiao is also used to being scolded, and his heart tightened, and he flattered and smiled: "The emperor's imperial decree, I should do my best."

Jiajing snorted coldly and said, "About the three halls."

When Yuan Shijiao heard that it was about the Three Great Halls, he suddenly showed a bitter face and said: "So the emperor wants to rebuild the Three Great Halls? The ministers always look for the cabinet for this. It's a pity that Xu Ge, who is in charge of the household department, always asks Said that the imperial court has no money! The minister is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice."

"Trash!" Jiajing scolded unceremoniously, "I'm counting on you? I'm afraid I won't be able to see the Three Great Halls on Bintian's day! Hmph!"

Yuan Shijiao looked puzzled: "Or, the emperor ordered the cabinet to find a way to pay for the reconstruction?"

"Isn't this bringing me a bad name?" Jiajing scolded: "Hmph, forget it, fortunately, I have Mr. Yan Ge, and I have money in the internal treasury! You just need to rebuild it for me!"

After listening to Yuan Shijiao, it turns out that Jiajing himself paid for the palace?

Now he is in good spirits!

As long as you have money, it's easy to handle wow!

Throughout the ages, if an official wants to make a fortune, the first thing to do is of course to engage in engineering!

The larger the project, the more money passed on, and the greater the oil and water.

For example, a national-level large-scale project such as the Three Great Halls cannot be repaired without tens of millions of taels of silver.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he took it for granted that Yuan Shijiao was the general contractor of this project, ah bah, the person in charge.

So, hey, here comes the opportunity to make a fortune.

Some people may ask, Yuan Shijiao is so bold that he dares to hack the emperor's money?

This involves a problem, that is, the definition of gray income.

In fact, Yuan Shijiao can earn a lot of money without embezzling money.Because just like modern engineering, he took tens of millions of engineering silver from the emperor, and he must spend it, so who to buy and how much to buy is up to him.For profit-seeking businessmen, it is only logical to provide enough rebates and filial piety to Mr. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.This is the unspoken rule of this industry. Even if Yuan Shijiao is not corrupt, if it spends tens of millions of money, it can still bring down millions.

In the Ming Dynasty, many corruptions were different from modern definitions.For example, according to the usual practice, the money spent by governments at all levels is privately owned by the chief, and it is legal income, so there is a saying that "three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver".

This is certainly unthinkable in modern times.

Don't go too far, Yuan Shijiao heard that Emperor Jiajing paid for the rebuilding of the three main halls, and entrusted himself with this glorious and arduous task. To maintain the quality and quantity, repair the house for the emperor's house, and make it into a fine decoration that the emperor and queen can move in with their bags.He wants to make a high-quality project and a model project to satisfy the new house owners Jiajing and Wang Huya.

Jiajing waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Yuan Shijiao's spitting stars flying around, and said coldly: "I will give you three words, you should listen carefully!"

Yuan Shijiao cheered up and promised: "I am all ears!"

Jiajing stared at Yuan Shijiao, and said coldly: "First, the three hall projects must be completed on schedule within one year, with both quality and quantity guaranteed."

Yuan Shijiao was shocked.

Because the emperor only gave him one year, this time is a bit tight.

Someone asked, Nima, this is just to build three halls. Now that the building is being built, one floor can be built in three days!Could it be that Daming has the power of the whole country, and can't finish the three halls in one year?

The answer is that it is really difficult.

Because the emperor's hall is an unusual house.

For example, do you know what is the supporting wood of the three main halls?

Centennial Rosewood!

Moreover, it must be a hundred-year-old red sandalwood produced in Yunnan, the kind that is at least as thick as one person hugs!

There are strict requirements on smoothness, texture, tree age, and hardness!

Such a thick piece of red sandalwood has to travel through mountains and rivers to transport it from Yunnan to Beijing. The migrant workers and loss along the way alone cost 1 taels of silver!

As for the three main halls, at least 500 such rosewoods are needed!

Another chestnut, the steps in front of the three main halls and the carving of the dragon in the center cannot be made of ordinary stones.

Only special white marble mined from the Wutai Mountain Mine in Shanxi can be used.

This kind of white marble can only meet the royal satisfaction standard in smoothness, flatness and color.

Such a huge piece of white marble, from Wutai Mountain in Shanxi, also needs to travel through mountains and rivers to transport it to Beijing, which costs more money, 10 taels!

There are all kinds of sayings, but they are just one sentence anyway.

There are many problems in the royal family, and there are many stinks. If there is a problem in any link, you will have to kill yourself!

This year is really stressful.
