Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

This official family spent a lot of money impulsively. The outer city was built with money from the imperial court, while the imperial palace was paid for by the official family. There is no other requirement, just beautiful!

More importantly, he has seen Zhao Jue Xiangyang City's defense against fire prevention. Last night's reminder made the officials realize that if his brother hadn't discovered the hidden safety hazard in time, the battle of the demon wind last night would have Definitely burnt on a skewer.

As for the wind last night, it blew all night. The officials were old and couldn’t sleep well. They were bothered by the wind and had a headache. They even dreamed that the palace was burned, and the family’s hard-earned wealth was almost burnt to the ground. When I woke up in the morning, I was shocked by the news of the eighth brother's family. Fortunately, I found out in time, and by the way, I gave the old eighth a lesson. The eighth prince is also an innocent disaster.

That's why I made such a rich decision, just kidding, if the fire burns out, thanks, it's better to spend it, anyway, there is a new house to live in.

Of course, the first project was to remove the people nearby. It went smoothly. For nothing else, the surrounding villages basically belonged to the old Zhao’s family. Just write down the area and build the house later to replenish them. No one can stop the officials from expanding the city of Bianjing!

Originally, all the people in Zhuangzi were thrown by Zhao Jue to the Artisan Academy. There was a lot of wasteland there. It happened that these people in Zhuangzi used to live in high-rise buildings. Now Bianjing City except for Zhao Jue’s factory There are also buildings in the dormitory of the farm, and ordinary people do not have this kind of treatment.

Set aside a road leading to Bianjing City. The recruitment notices are posted all over the city, even in the nearby towns. One spreads to ten, ten spreads to hundreds. As for how far it spreads, Pang Yu doesn't know. , he was in charge of drawing the planning drawings, and the craftsmen who were good at construction received their positions one by one, and with enough personnel, they could almost start work.

Every day outside the city of Bianjing, there are piles of materials shipped from all over the place.

How to build without raw materials?

Especially for the iron foundry outside Bianjing city, when they come to business, they wish they could grow a few more hands to work. This is an order from the imperial court. Those are old skilled workers. When the infrastructure was built in Xiangyang, it was their factory that assisted them. Now it is the turn of Xiangyang to assist them.

The glass factories here are starting to work overtime. It's very simple. Can we build a house without using glass as windows?Naturally, it is necessary to start preparations earlier. Their prince said that the whole city is going to be expanded!

I roughly calculated the number of glasses, and the person in charge of the glass factory was almost stunned by the number. Now I started to work overtime, and I might not be able to catch up.

Just looking at the construction sites one after another, those who didn't know thought that some catastrophe had happened. Who would have thought that it was just an expansion.

This is something the official family has been thinking about for more than ten years, and the official family is preparing to go to Xiangyang with their wives and children. As for those courtiers, it is strange that he cares about them.

Looking at those construction sites, the courtiers didn't talk nonsense, took their bags and ran away with the officials.

Pang Yu just felt speechless, did he use such an exaggeration?

No demolishing the house, just building it.

By the way, a large-scale waterworks was also built. After all, this is the capital city, and the number of people is much larger than that of Xiangyang City. The water source needs to be solved. Since the officials ran away, Zhao Jue was also carried away inexplicably, and Pang was also involved. Yu together.

The craftsmen who were left behind really didn't know what to say, so they just...rely on their own consciousness.

Anyway, they have been used to it for a long time, and with the transferred Xiangyang craftsmen, the construction of the outer city is proceeding in an orderly manner.

After waiting for a month, the official family finally arrived in Xiangyang City, let alone the official family, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were dumbfounded, this is Xiangyang City?

The towering city wall is taller than that of Bianjing City no matter how you look at it. When the carriage slowly enters the city, the admiration can't stop. The road is clean and tidy, and the people walking on the street are all wearing neat clothes. There are smiles on their faces.

After the convoy appeared, the common people dodged aside consciously. After all, those horses looked expensive, and if they collided, they would definitely not be able to afford it.

The courtiers in the carriage looked out through the windows of the carriage. The road is very spacious, it can be said to be wider than the official road. On both sides of the road are small two-storey houses, basically With glass windows.

They came to Xiangyang City one step earlier to spread the letter, and had already arranged the residences of those ministers of civil and military affairs. Thanks to the large number of houses built at the beginning, otherwise so many people came here that they would not be able to live there!

Those who are single, did not drag their families away, and directly lived in a residential building near the bungalow area. Anyway, they lived temporarily, so what are the demands so high?

It would be nice to have a house for them to live in, a house with two bedrooms and one living room, what else do you want?

As for the ministers, those at the level of prime ministers naturally lived in big houses. There were dozens of small two-story houses near Zhao Jue's mansion, all of which had gardens. Anyway, they would definitely be comfortable to live in for the time being.

The official's house was taken to Zhao Jue's palace, and his brother lived in it, how bad could it be?

This time even the Eighth Prince came with his wife and children. Anyway, the nearby house is for his starlings. Judging by the number of people, he probably needs to move two more beds, so he can't wrong his nephews.

"You are really nice here." The official got off the carriage and was taken to the room to rest. Someone cleaned the room early. The beds were all newly moved, and there were many daily necessities that officials are used to. Looking around, the officials are still very satisfied.

"Of course, when it was built, I left the room out." Zhao Jue was terrified. Although he was a steady prince to the outside world, he would occasionally act like a child to his brother. After all, he was only a child. .

"Are you trying to trick me to come and live here?" the official raised his eyebrows at his younger brother and asked.

"How can you use deception, third brother, you have worked so hard for so many years, and you still can't enjoy it?" Zhao Jue didn't like to hear whether he was deceiving or not. He still needs to deceive his brother?

"That's right, Uncle Guan, this is Brother Jue's filial piety to you." Pang Yu said from the side.

"Filial and filial piety, I never thought that I would be filial to my younger brother before I was filial to my son." The official family said cheerfully.

"Guanjia, this place is really nice." Suddenly a woman walked in.

"Why is it you?" Zhao Jue frowned when he saw that it was Liu Shi who was imprisoned.

"Hello, my lord. I have met my lord." Mrs. Liu was not nervous at all, but greeted her first. Logically speaking, Mrs. Liu is the concubine of the official family, and she is also Zhao Jue's sister-in-law.

It's just that Mrs. Liu knows that now she has no power or power, not even the title of concubine, and she is the one who puts her face on Zhao Jue's side. Based on her understanding of Zhao Jue, she should be thrown out in the next second.

Wisdom is also one of Liu's characteristics, Zhao Jue couldn't go too far if she greeted people with a smile, after all, it was the official's face.

"Brother?" Zhao Jue didn't look at her, but turned his head and gave his brother a look.

"You go down first." The official waved his hand to Mrs. Liu, and then said to his younger brother, "It's like this, isn't my child and Mrs. Liu's gone? I saw her sad, so I took her out to relax."

"You just brought her out like this, can your queen agree?" Zhao Jue asked with a glance at him.

"Didn't the queen not come?" The official said after a stiff expression for two seconds, "I haven't told her yet."

Pang Yu really didn't know what to say when he was listening on the sidelines, he could only say that Liu's method is good, can this be recovered?

However, he didn't think that Empress Li could let it go when she knew about it. After all, the Liu family didn't only hurt Empress Li, but also the little prince himself.

Of course, if Empress Li didn't do anything, then it's as if he didn't say anything.

It's so soft, don't be a queen, be a bun!

In fact, in Pang Yu's view, the official's feelings for Liu should not only be for beauty. After all, no matter how beautiful they are, the age difference between the two is not much different. The official is 47. The creases also slowly climbed up her face, Liu's just got better, how could she be so beautiful.

Just like this, the officials can't forget it, so there should be something special about it, right?

Both Pang Yu and Zhao Jue suspected at the beginning that the person who came to disgust them and frame the queen by the way should be Mrs. Liu.

This is also why Zhao Jue's expression is so ugly when he sees that the person following the official family is Mrs. Liu, nonsense, who would like to see someone who disgusts him?

It's not that he has a tendency to masochistic, and this is the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion!

That's even more disgusting!

No wonder Zhao Jue was willing to suffer.

"There is her or me in this family, you choose one." Zhao Jue said it straightforwardly without making a fuss.

"All right, you can just find a place for her to live in." The official didn't struggle, knowing that Liu's younger brother was disgusted at the time, so naturally they wouldn't object.

"Come here, send that girl to live in another garden." Zhao Jue didn't hesitate, as for worrying about whether he would offend Mrs. Liu, he joked that he had offended all of them a few years ago.

"Here!" The guard appeared immediately and took the order to leave.

"You child, you really don't suffer at all." The official said with a helpless smile and shook his head. In fact, the official knows everything. Can he still not be clear about Liu's actions?Just be considerate that she just lost her child, and don't care about it.

This is not the first child of the two, there were several miscarriages before, and they managed to stay, but they were frail. Originally, the official family wanted to be Yi'er's younger brother anyway, and the two brothers supported them.

This good wish is just wishful thinking of the officials.

Just because of Liu's framing at the beginning, Li Hou didn't go to kill Liu, she was kind-hearted.

Zhao Jue sneered at Empress Li, woman's benevolence, it's all right now, the Liu family is making a comeback again, this harem is going to be bustling.

As far as Liu's scheming is concerned, Empress Li may not be able to play with Liu's.

But Zhao Jue was not afraid of anything, no matter how embarrassing Mrs. Liu was, she was not the little prince's biological mother, and his brother would not be so stupid as to make Mrs. Li the queen, and depose her as Mrs. Liu.

Not to mention the little prince's face, it is impossible for him to do this, even civil and military officials would not agree to such absurd thing.

When he was young, the officials didn't do such impulsive things. When he was older, he hoped that his family and everything would be prosperous, and it was even more impossible for him to do so.

He is a son like the little prince, and he wants to pass on the throne to the little prince, and he will never leave any stain on the little prince.

Regarding this point, Mrs. Liu is also very clear that it is impossible for her, but how willing she is to stay in that cold palace forever.

After taking the opportunity to leave Zhao Jue in disgust, she made every step of the way, and finally won the soft heart of the officials again, but it was a pity that her only son couldn't make it through.

This time it was even more powerful. She was taken away by the officials and came to Xiangyang City, but she met Zhao Jue, and her good luck was destined to end here.

Mrs. Liu didn't dare to do anything, so she could only honestly carry her luggage and go to the Bieyuan. The environment is not bad, but the surprise is that this place is completely in line with her grade, what else is there that I don't understand .

Naturally, there is no need to worry about taking care of the official family. The well-trained maids and servants, as well as other concubines, will follow. Zhao Jue asked them to take care of whoever loses.

No one would have guessed that the way to serve the emperor was by guessing fists.

As for why the losers go, there is no way, there are so many fun things to go, why should they go to the official house?

Not to mention playing cards, there are also various small games, which make those who have never seen the world addicted to them.

Pang Yu originally came up with this because he was afraid that people would be bored, but gambling is prohibited in Xiangyang City, and there used to be gambling halls, but Zhao Jue directly took over it, and many families were ruined.

It is absolutely not allowed to appear in Xiangyang City. Every time when the Chinese New Year is free, Pang Yu will send guards to visit nearby villages unannounced. Once found, the entire village will be included in the yellow list, and he will be pointed out when he goes out. point rhythm.

Because of such determination, the atmosphere in Xiangyang is very good, and it seldom appears again.

Then there are flower houses and the like before, and they no longer exist. Regardless of whether they came first, the chicken or the egg, they are not allowed to exist anyway, and they are all eradicated!

The girls in Hualou have also returned their good status, so they don't need to be inferior.

Knowing that they have no survival skills, once the garment factory is lost, those who can read can choose other jobs, or even continue their studies. In Xiangyang City, school is free, as long as you want to learn.

This is also the reason why Xiangyang City will change so quickly. No matter who it is, it is impossible to achieve the courage of King Xiangyang.

Zhao Jue said that without him, he was just rich.
