Since becoming the Minister of Household Affairs, Zhang Cang has been living a careful life almost every day.

Every account must be calculated over and over again.

Even now, he is busy every day.

It’s not about whether the money should be paid out, but whether it should be cut off.

The country's comprehensive preparation for war requires unprecedented energy, material and financial resources. The original plans and approved allocations can no longer be issued according to the procedures.

The cabinet has reached a consensus that if it can be postponed, postpone it first; if it cannot be postponed, repair it if it can be done; and if it must be done, do it after it is determined.

All in all, the Ministry of Household Affairs should use more than 80% of the money and food to prepare for war.

Even so, it's still not enough.

And Wang Buxu made such a maddening request, how could Zhang Cang not faint from congestion?

No one else would be able to bear such a request.

Wang Buxu agreed to Zhang Cang's request almost with tears in his eyes.

After finally getting out, Wang Buxian would not go back so soon.

As an emperor, he also needs to go out and show off.

Others think I am happy, but in fact I am not happy at all.

Although I have control over all the people in the world, and although I can decide your fate with just one sentence, I am just not happy.

I can only say that you cannot understand my depression, and you cannot even imagine my happiness...

Wang Buxu, who had just given instructions on the construction of soldiers and horses, now transformed into the chief architect of the empire, standing outside Luoyang City and started pointing.

Of course, it’s not because Wang Buxu likes to take command.

Luoyang City is really too small.

The east city wall is less than 2,000 meters long, the south city wall is more than 1,000 meters long, the west city wall is only about 1,800 meters long, and the north city wall is also more than 1,000 meters long.

Among them, the palace is about 1,300 meters long from north to south and about 1,000 meters wide from east to west.

In other words, half of the entire Luoyang City now is the imperial palace.

The number of people in the city...

Forget it, talking about it makes me cry.

As the saying goes, a man was walking in Luoyang City, and he picked up a stone and threw it at it.

Throw it ten times and hit ten people. Two of them may be imperial guards, two may be officials, five may be family members of officials, and only one may be a common person who actually comes to Luoyang to do business.

If a city wants to develop, it cannot develop without a population.

Today's Luoyang is a simple administrative city.

And most of the people are scattered around.

So there was a proposal to expand Luoyang City.

As Wang Buxu, who likes everything to be neat and orderly, building his own capital naturally requires careful planning.

Wang Buxian didn't like the divergent layout plan like Xianyang's.

"Your Majesty, I have heard a lot and thought a lot these days. The people below have also visited a lot of places. I feel that Luohe should be utilized." In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the home court of Wang Ling and was fully prepared.

Wang Ling, who was working, spoke directly.

"Well, the Luohe River can be used for boats, so it must be used." Wang Buxu chose to approve without any doubts.

The Luo River of today is not the Luo River of later generations that can see the bottom.

There is still plenty of water at this time. Take Luoyang as an example, the shallowest channel is more than five meters in the middle.

For a flat-bottomed boat, this water depth is enough.

"So my idea is to build a commercial and industrial area in the west of the city, which can use the Luo River for transportation, which has achieved the purpose of saving manpower and also facilitates management. Build a residential area in the east of the city and introduce a large number of people and traders.

As for the north, a new North Palace will be built. The current palace is honestly too small..." Wang Ling said blatantly.

Now Luoyang is adjacent to the Luo River in the south. If the south wants to develop, it can only develop on the south bank of the Luo River.

The current Luoyang was built in the early Zhou Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years.

Nowadays, Han Dynasty has made so many changes and added so many department personnel that there is simply not enough space.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs also put a lot of thought into arranging the residence of those officials.

There are even many people who can only temporarily live outside the city, and then all ministries will work together to build a new living area for them to live temporarily.

The houses are also extremely simple.

Even the ministers were not much better, their houses were in dilapidated condition.

When Zhang Liang forced the king to marry him, he said he could hear the voices next door. That was not a lie, it was true.

Really can't be true in the actual situation.

This is the case even in Zhang Liang and Chen Ping’s family, let alone others?

Therefore, saving is not the best choice in many cases. If you still save when life has various problems, you are out of ideas.

"Your Majesty, take a breath... take a breath..." Zhang Cang wiped the sweat from his forehead again.

He looked at Wang Ling with eyes full of resentment.

Your mother-in-law’s mouth is so open, even if I sell myself, I won’t be able to get through this hole.

Zhang Cang can ignore anything, but it must not have anything to do with money. The words "money and food" are definitely sensitive words for Zhang Cang now.

"Don't worry, this time I can build the city of Luoyang without asking you for any money from the Ministry of Revenue!" Wang Buxu promised, laughing loudly and patting his chest.

"That won't work. I'm living a hard life. Your Majesty, look at the wrinkles on my face. I can't even open my eyes. I..." Zhang Cang subconsciously expressed his misery, and then realized that the king just couldn't open his eyes.

What are you talking about? "No...don't ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for a penny?"

"Yes! I have my own way to expand Luoyang City. When the time comes, your Ministry of Household Affairs only needs to send some people to help!" Wang Buxu nodded.

"Your Majesty... you should order more..." Zhang Cang suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be comfortable with it.

No, I'm worried that Wang will do something random if he's not hungry.

For such a big thing as the expansion of Luoyang City, how can we not ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for some money?

How to build if you don’t have money?

Build it with just one mouth?

"I said I don't want it, so I don't want it. Even if you give it to me, I don't want it!" Wang Buxu refused very firmly.

When it comes to economic development, Wang Buxu dared to pat the big bird and say that no one in the world can compare with him.

No one can have as much ink in their belly as I do.

Wang Buxu didn't even need to use his brain to think. He could tell more than three ways to defeat the wolf with nothing but subconsciously.

Of course, when it comes to national matters, how can we say that we are empty-handed?

This should be called a means of establishing national prestige, establishing trust between people, and building a harmonious country.

The purpose is not to gain nothing, but to achieve better development.

"Your Majesty, why don't you reveal something first?" Zhang Liang felt that his crotch was a little cold, and he had a vague bad feeling.

It’s so ridiculous, it’s really unheard of!

Wang Buxu shook his head, looked at Wang Ling and asked, "Don't worry, have the drawings of Luoyang's plan been drawn?"

Wang Ling nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head violently: "Your Majesty, I only drew an outline, some internal details have not been drawn, and I didn't say I would come here today, so this drawing is still at the Ministry of Works...
