Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

It was decided that Liu Yixiu would go to Hangzhou for disaster relief, and Wang Yingjiao immediately sent someone to the Ministry of Households to find out relevant information about the Hangzhou government.Looking at the boxes of materials, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but have a headache.

Ye Xianggao rolled up his sleeves and said, "Ji Hui, I've been to Hangzhou several times, and I'll give you a general drawing of Hangzhou as a reference for building a market place."

Zhu Youxiao signaled Wei Chao to clean up the imperial case, and spread a large piece of rice paper for Ye Xianggao.Seeing that Ye Xianggao chose the smallest, thin brush, and drew while talking, he marked the main city streets, important business names, and some government offices in Hangzhou in an instant.

Really capable people too.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were full of admiration, and Ye Xianggao caught the emperor's gaze and smiled complacently.I have been known as a child prodigy since I was a child. I dare not say that I have never forgotten, and I can basically remember eight or nine things.

After he finished sketching out the original layout of Hangzhou, he drew up a pen to draw out Liu Yixiu's possible use for building a market place, residential areas where fires are prohibited, areas that cannot be moved or moved for fire prevention, and areas that need to be isolated from fire. Draw a new drawing.

Liu Yixiu looked at Ye Xianggao's writing like a miracle, as if the whole old city of Hangzhou appeared before his eyes.After a while, a grand picture of the new city appeared before his eyes.

Liu Yixiu and Han Yu didn't know much about Ye Xianggao. Seeing him talking and laughing, he sketched out the old and new Hangzhou city like a painting. If it wasn't for the sudden and urgent report of the Hangzhou fire, both of them would be suspicious Ye Xianggao has long planned to renovate Hangzhou City.

Liu Yixiu looked at the drawings and admired Ye Xianggao in his heart.With these two blueprints, it is more than half of the way to go to Hangzhou Mansion by myself.

After Ye Xianggao put down his pen, Wei Chao also went up to see the map of the new Hangzhou city.In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, if it wasn't for the emperor to speak, these servants would not dare to speak.He dared to go up to see the map of the new city because the emperor asked him to be a deputy envoy for disaster relief.

Zhu Youxiao's mind is the same as that of Liu Yixiu and Han Yu, and he is full of admiration for Ye Xianggao just like Wei Chao.

"Ye Qing, with the help of these two divine pictures of yours, Ji Hui's trip to the Hangzhou mansion will be more effective with less effort."

Ye Xianggao hurriedly said modestly: "Your Majesty appreciates the award, the old minister just wants to help Ji Hui."

Liu Yixiu saw that the emperor approved of Ye Xianggao's new city layout, and Ye Xianggao took most of the credit for his intention to make a big difference.But he still immediately bowed to thank Ye Xianggao.

"With the help of Elder Ye Ge, Ji Hui will complete the renovation of the old city of Hangzhou Prefecture just around the corner. With this picture in hand, it is as if Elder Ye Ge is accompanying him."

Before Ye Xianggao drew the picture, he guessed that Liu Yixiu might feel uncomfortable, but he had just passed his sixtieth year, and he was not the age like Fang Congzhe who was about to become an official. Capable.But there are not many such opportunities, and this time it happened to be the one I could seize, even if I offended Liu Yixiu, it was worth it.

Liu Yixiu's words confirmed what he thought in his heart, but he was more than ten years older than Liu Yixiu, and he had seen too many such small beatings.

He immediately cupped his hands and bowed back, saying only: "Ji Hui, this matter is a major matter of the imperial court. I am just talking on paper, and I just drew it for your reference. Whether this picture can be used in the end, I still need you to go to Hangzhou." City to do field verification.

And when you go to Hangzhou, although there is a million taels of silver from the imperial court for disaster relief, it looks like a lot, but when you are actually building a new city, you can't do too much.

The most difficult thing is to raise money to build a new city. It depends on your planning and planning. That is the most difficult and most important thing to do. "

Zhu Youxiao applauded, "Okay. Ye Qing is right. Ji Hui, the hardest part is up to you to do."

The emperor said this, and Liu Yixiu no longer felt that Ye Xianggao had taken the credit. After rolling up the two pictures of Ye Xianggao, he discussed the details of the disaster relief with his colleagues.

When it was time for dinner, Zhu Youxiao and several important ministers basically discussed the matter of Hangzhou.After Wei Chao brought the imperial decree written by the Hanlin scholar to Zhu Youxiao for review, after Liu Shimin stamped the jade seal, he also reported on the things he had arranged to go to Hangzhou with the Habayashi Guard.

Wang Yingjiao said: "The two imperial envoys can leave Beijing after the Ministry of Household Affairs picks up the silver taels from Taicang tomorrow morning."

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Zhu Youxiao said to Liu Yixiu: "All the affairs of the Hangzhou government are entrusted to you. I believe that you are a man, so let's do it. If there is something difficult for you or difficult to come forward , Let Wei Chao do it."

Wei Chao put on a bitter face behind the emperor, and Liu Yixiu couldn't help but feel happy when he saw it. He thought about the emperor's statement that he would work hard to do a good job in Hangzhou, and then left with Fang Congzhe and others.

After the British Duke returned to his residence, he saw a few delicate winter jasmine flowers in a solitary white fat jade vase in his wife's main hall.He was in a daze, he had been an old couple for decades, and he didn't know that his wife loved winter jasmine.

"Is this bottle pretty?"

The British princess sent a maid to help him wash his hands and change his clothes, and brought him a cup of hot tea with her own hands. Seeing that he was stunned by the winter jasmine, she asked a question with a smile.

"This suet jade bottle is of very good quality, it would be a pity to carve it into a jade bottle. I didn't know that Madam likes winter jasmine."

"Where is the winter jasmine that I like. It was sent by the palace at noon today. Your daughter refused to take it back, so she threw it here."

The Duke of England thought of the bet with the emperor, and he had already lost all his money in two years to recover the civil servants.He just returned to the capital yesterday, and today he was thinking of sending flowers to the mansion, hmph, this is nothing more than the emperor, if any young man from another family dared to do this, he would have to be beaten out of the bottle.He was upset, and he just said: "The vase is not bad."

The British duchess knew a little bit about his thoughts, "The emperor seems to be serious, and it's time for us to prepare our daughter's dowry."

"He told people that he would keep the filial piety for three years." The British Duke replied to his wife sourly, then bowed his head and sipped his tea in silence.As long as he talked about marrying his daughter, all his good feelings for the emperor disappeared immediately.

Seeing that her husband only sipped tea and said nothing, the British lady couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, and pushed her husband who bowed his head to sip tea with her hand.

"Do you still believe this? How could the Son of Heaven stay for 27 months? The late Emperor didn't even stay for 27 days. Could it be that you want to wait for the court girl to give birth to the eldest son? In the end, someone who is the same as the master and let the concubine The eldest son inherits the world?"

The British Duke was so frightened that he reached out to cover his wife's mouth.

"Okay, what are you talking about about the first emperor and the eldest son of the concubine?" He frightened the maids in the room with his eyes, raised his hand and drove everyone out of the room, and continued talking to his wife with a sigh.

"That's a capable person, with the temperament of making decisions before acting. You see, Shenzong spent millions of military pay and cost [-] lives, but he was defeated by Jiannu.

The new monarch has only been on the throne for more than half a year, and Jiannu has already fallen apart, and Nu/Erhachi is also on his way to Beijing.I'm just afraid that people are too capable, and our daughter will be embarrassed in the future. "

"I can't control whether it's difficult or not, and you can't do anything about it? During the Chinese New Year, when you go around in various houses, many people ask about your daughter's marriage. I just stop it because I don't want my daughter to marry early. But we can't stand our daughter. Jiji is coming soon, whoever wants to get married doesn't say to get engaged first, and then get married two years later.

If we are hung up and down like this, isn't that offending people for nothing?In case the emperor changes his mind next year, wouldn't it delay our own daughter in the end? "

Hearing what his wife said made sense, the British Duke put down the tea bowl and said, "You are right. Tomorrow I will go after the emperor and bury the second emperor."

"What happened to Guan Xiandi's burial?"

"Hey, you don't know. The emperor wants to cut down the feudal clan, so he detains those feudal kings and refuses to return their fiefdoms. He went to the Northern Conquest, and those feudal kings have been wild horses without bridles in the capital for the past two months, and they have caused a lot of trouble. Well. When the great court meets, the censor will have to impeach these vassals.

Penalizing money, reducing fiefdoms, and reducing ranks of titles, after this series of actions, the court will have money for the two emperors to bury.

I have to send the first emperor into the mausoleum, so that we can arrange the marriage, right? "

The Duchess of England watched her husband's mouth open and close, and when her husband finished speaking, she asked a little nervously: "Then how many princes' titles will be cut this time? I heard that all these princes will go to the ten princes' mansion." I took over the oiran. If you really want to get rid of the noble, won't there be another Jing Nan?"

The British prince glanced at his wife, "It's so easy for you to be Jing Nan. All the vassal kings of the Zhu family were detained by the emperor in the capital, and the imperial court wanted to fight against Jiannu and Tatars, and their guards were also taken away. Except They will not be granted land in the future. Those who can retain the throne will not be given to guards, but will be replaced by eunuchs for the time being.

As for whether it can be given to the guards in the future, it is a matter of two opinions.They can only receive monthly support money from the imperial family, what to use to rebel. "

The British lady immediately put her hands together and recited a sentence, "This is great. The Tian family is also very capable of giving birth. There are dozens of sons or even hundreds of grandchildren at every turn. There are so many descendants, princes, and county kings. I am worried for the people of the world when the land is sealed down one by one, and there will be another 100 or 200 years, but there is still a place for his surname?!"

The British Duke was stunned by what his wife was worried about, and the world has no place to stand?But then I thought about Zhu Zhongyi, the king of Qingcheng in Shanxi. At the end of the fifth year of Hongzhi, he had 94 children. At that time, his eldest son had more than 500 children, and the number of great-grandchildren had exceeded [-].Fortunately, not all vassal kings are so fertile, otherwise, in more than a hundred years, there will really be no place for others with his surname in the world.

"You're only thinking about where you can stand. The total amount of food in the provinces has long been insufficient to pay the vassal's salary. These descendants of the Zhu family with titles staying in Beijing are going to make trouble for the emperor to give them a replacement salary."
