Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Ji never thought in his life that he could still see a mountain in the palace!

It may not be appropriate to say that it is a mountain, because the overall look shows that it is built of stones, with a thin layer of soil in the middle, decorated with some moss and flowers.

This is not the point, the point is that there is water flowing down from the top of the mountain, forming a water flow like a small waterfall.

But the question is where does the water come from?

Not only that, there is also a cave in the pool, there is even a dragon pillar underneath, and the dragon's head is looming in the mist.

Oh, the dragon head is what Xiao Zirong said. The dragons these days are not the same as the dragons that have evolved through the years in later generations, but I have to say that they are indeed very majestic.

There are various leisure facilities around the pool, and he even saw a tandem car.

Xiao Zirong glanced at it and said, "Oh, that is a new fountain, and the faucet below can also spray water. It will be very beautiful at night."

Why does it look good at night, because it is lit at night.

Regardless of whether Xiao Zirong went to Chang'an to chase stars or something else, Weiyang Palace has actually changed a lot. Although the location of the main palace has not changed much, the shape has been different, especially in the harem. The facilities and magnificent scenery made Xiao Ji feel that it was an eye-opener.

Looking at it this way, he also understood why the imperial palace had been built for as long as Chang'an City.

You must know that Chang'an City used as much as the Minfu Palace when it was built, and it cost more money than building a city.

If it were any other emperor, Xiao Zirong would have been overwhelmed by the memorials, but...he is rich.

The rich only refers to the private treasury, and he has never used the money from the national treasury at all, even if someone in the court thinks he is extravagant, there is nothing he can do.

People can spend but they can also earn.

In the past, the imperial palace and harem belonged not so much to the emperor as to the concubines, and they were all the territory of the female relatives.

The current harem is more like a place for the emperor to play, focusing on the entertainment attribute.

Anyway, Xiao Zirong has been tied to Xiao Xuexing for the rest of his life, and he can't even take it apart, so why build the harem so easily?Keep it ashes?

As for future generations... If he has the ability to repair it by himself, of course his own palace will come according to his own ideas.

Xiao Xuan never expected that it would take a day to visit the entire palace by train.

While having dinner in the evening, Xiao Zirong said happily: "The Jianzhang Palace will also be repaired next year."

Xiao Zhun swallowed his saliva: "Uncle Emperor, A Fang Gong..."

Xiao Zirong suddenly remembered, oh, yes, there is also A Fang Gong.

But don't worry about that, he thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about that either."

Huh?Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Xiao Zirong wiped his hands and said: "The main reason for wanting to do so many projects before is to let the common people have a job. Now I think it has slowed down, and it is not appropriate to carry out a large number of projects."

There is no imported food these days, and the main task of the people is farming.

In other words, even if there is imported food, it is not something that ordinary people can eat. The nobles can afford it at any time. Even if there is a catastrophe or epidemic, their quality of life must be the best.

What Xiao Zirong needs to care about is ordinary people, and the construction of a large palace will reduce a lot of labor force invisibly.

After all, he is willing to give money, farming depends on the sky for food, hard work may not be rewarded, but building a palace for the emperor will definitely get money, who would not want to do such a job?

Xiao Zirong was probably also the first emperor who engaged in a large-scale project, and the people not only did not complain, but also expected him to do more.

After hearing this, everyone agreed with Xiao Zirong's idea.

However, little friend Xiao Zhun had heard his uncle's longing for Weiyang Palace and Efang Palace, which he had never seen before, so he whispered: "I have already organized slaves to go there, let them repair it slowly."

Those slaves were originally sinners, and they just had to do things. It would be good to just get them to repair the palace, but it might be a little slower.

Xiao Zirong waved his hand grandly: "You can figure it out yourself."

Xiao Xuexing said angrily, "You just want to be lazy."

Xiao Zirong raised her eyebrows and looked around: "Let Huan'er do it well, how can you say I'm lazy?"

Xiao Zhun smiled and said: "Zhengdan is approaching, I really have something to ask the emperor for instructions."

The specifics are rewards, the New Year's banquet in the palace, and whether the capital should be more lively.

Xiao Zirong got a headache when he heard these things, especially since they just moved here this year, and it will be a good sign if they make things more prosperous.

However, there are too many details about the Chinese New Year, from clothes and accessories to banquets and dishes, all have to be determined according to the classics. Although some things can be changed if they want to, they cannot be changed too much.

Xiao Zirong sighed and took Xiao Zhun to study these things, oh, by the way, he also called the Minister of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites.

Not to mention, none of Xiao Zirong's subordinates is a wine bag and rice bag. They have almost done the work in advance, and they are waiting for the emperor to nod!

The only thing that makes them hesitate is probably whether the emperor wants to have fun with the people on Zhengdan day?

The reason for this question is that in the past, when the emperor had fun with the people, he climbed the city wall.

But now the walls of the palace are too high!

If you go up and down, you probably won’t be able to see anyone, and it’s dangerous to stand so high, so should this be changed?

Xiao Zirong thought for a while and said, "Having fun with the people, how can it not be fun? That night, let's go out for a walk in the car and come back, and then go up the city wall."

Xiao Zhun was a little puzzled: "If you go out, you don't have to go up the city wall, do you?"

Xiao Zirong glanced at him: "Silly boy, the purpose of going up the city wall is to see the night view."

The two ministers: ...

Xiao Zirong looked at them speechless and said, "Do you believe that the night scene must be beautiful that night?"

Xiao Zhun nodded seriously without thinking: "Uncle Huang said it must be very good-looking."

The two ministers were suddenly a little tired. Fortunately, they thought that His Highness the Crown Prince had grown up, and they had an extra help—this help meant that someone could help persuade the emperor when he was going wild again.

They counted on the Taishanghuang, but the Taishanghuang lived in seclusion. They heard that the emperor made a lot of fun things for the Taishanghuang. The Taishanghuang had a lot of fun every day and didn't care about things at all.

Not to mention King Bashan and the regent, as long as the emperor doesn't make a big mistake, the two of them won't say a word at all.

How is the prince, I grew up under everyone's noses, taught by a grand master and a great teacher, and my temperament is very satisfying to everyone.

But why did he start to learn from those elders?

They even suspected that even if the emperor wanted to climb a tree, the prince would be able to build a ladder underneath!

The two ministers left with doubts, Xiao Zirong leaned back on the throne and looked at Xiao Zhun lovingly: "You have grown up too, if you like a little lady, tell the emperor in advance."

Xiao Zhun is 21 years old now, it's time to find him a princess.

I haven't found it before. The first is that the child is still young and it is not suitable. The second is that Jiankang's East Palace is too small.

In the past, the child was young and needed to be taken care of by his parents. Xiao Zirong didn't feel worried about letting his cousin with inconvenient eyesight become a fan, so he just let their family live in the East Palace.

But as the child grows up and wants to marry a wife and have children, the East Palace is obviously not suitable.

Well now, the Weiyang Palace is big enough, and the Crown Prince's uterus is also big enough, and Xiao Zirong specially built a palace next to the Crown Prince's womb for Xiao Xuan to use for the elderly. Because there are many palaces, it's no problem for Xiao Ji and his wife to live in it.

In fact, even if King Bashan stayed in Beijing, it would be best if he had his own mansion outside like the Regent, but Xiao Zirong always felt that it was not good for their son to live in the East Palace while their parents had to move out to live in the palace.

And if you stay far away, the relationship with your parents or with your brothers and sisters will fade.

Xiao Zirong just needed an heir and didn't want to steal someone's son.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhun blushed and said shyly, "Not yet...not yet."

Xiao Zirong teased him: "If you don't like someone, then we can choose it. It's useless if you don't like to cry."

Xiao Zhun scratched his face: "I... I can do it."

His princess is either from a wealthy family or a newcomer, he has no objection to either.

As for the prince who fell in love with the common people and was torn apart, this kind of thing will never happen.

Xiao Zhun is not a lustful person at all, oh, of course, it may also be because he has been with his uncle for a long time, and the looks of his uncle and the regent are incomparable to him, which leads to even He can also be immune to the so-called beauty in front of him.

Regardless of appearance, it depends on the quality of the little lady. It is too difficult for ordinary women to have a common language with the prince, not to mention that most of the common people are illiterate.

Xiao Zhun looked at his parents, the emperor's uncle, and the regent since he was a child, and he wanted a woman who could sing with him and chat with him. From this point of view, it is destined that there will be no bloody emotional drama.

After Xiao Zhun left, Xiao Zirong was a little confused: "Is it because I put too much pressure on him? Why isn't this kid enlightened at all? I didn't stop him from getting in touch with the little lady."

There are even people around Xiao Zhun, but they are used to teach the prince's physiological knowledge, except for the two his mother prepared for him, there is no one else around him for so many years.

Xiao Xuexing patted his head: "Don't think so much, let nature take its course, anyway, the Supreme Emperor and Brother Ji are still worried."

Xiao Zirong thought about it, anyway, even if he chose the princess, it was impossible to get it done years ago, so he turned his head and cared about Zhengdan New Year's matters.

Not only did he want to give red envelopes to the people below, he also wanted to write some blessings. Every year this matter caused him great pain, but Xiao Xuexing refused to help him write it.

After all, it is a great honor for the emperor to bestow letters to his subjects, and it is not the same for others to write for them.

Time passes unhurriedly, as the weather gets colder and colder, Zhengdan is gradually approaching.

On the day of the New Year's banquet, everyone found that the dishes on the New Year's banquet after the capital was moved were also quite different.
