"No, no, no, these two masters are not flattering ministers. The two masters are indeed capable, but they are different from the officials that Your Majesty relies on in the court. The court of the Tang Dynasty cannot be without such ministers." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

His Majesty Li Er just smiled slightly and didn't say anything else, but asked Deyi to announce Xu Jingzong and Li Yi's mansion to this Ganlu Palace.

The little eunuch in Ganlu Hall went to take the map around Chang'an and spread it on the ground of Ganlu Hall. His Majesty Li Er stood beside the map and looked at the entire map.

It took about two quarters of an hour before several ministers summoned by His Majesty Li Er gathered in Ganlu Hall.

"See Your Majesty."

"Your dear friends don't have to be too polite." His Majesty Li Er helped him with a helping hand and gave up the salutes: "Today I have summoned several dear friends to this Ganlu Hall. It is also a big deal. I want to ask for your opinions, Jing'er."

"Yes." Xuan Shijing bowed and faced the ministers, and told them about the idea of ​​building a new palace.

"Have Your Majesty made up your mind?" The usual thing is Changsun Wuji.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "I have thought about it all over the world. Now that the Tang Dynasty is stable, the national treasury is sufficient, it is more than enough to build a new palace. Several dear ministers have also seen the current situation of this Tai Chi Palace. Whenever it rains, there will be floods around the Tai Chi Palace."

"But when a new palace is built, there are no extra vacant land in Chang'an City. Moreover, once construction starts, the recruitment of the people will never be a small number. Although the national treasury is abundant, the recruitment of these craftsmen and migrant workers..." Chu Suiliang hesitated.

"Two sirs, this new palace does not necessarily have to be placed in Chang'an City." Xuan Shijing said, "And, if there is a newly built palace, there is one that is the most suitable place. Not only is it an excellent location, but it can also save a lot of effort."

"Let me tell you, Lord Xuan." Chu Suiliang bowed.

"Longshouyuan, Yong'an Palace." Xuan Shijing pointed to the Yong'an Palace marked on the ground map: "Since the death of the Supreme Emperor, the entire Yong'an Palace has been abandoned. This Yong'an Palace is located in the northeast of Chang'an City. According to the Longshouyuan Highland, it has a superior geographical environment and has the foundation of Yong'an Palace. To build a new palace, you only need to expand the scale and renovate the palace on the original basis. On the one hand, it saves time and on the other hand, it can save money and save a lot of expenses for the treasury."

The two brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben are experts in this regard. They know about Yong'an Palace and understand the terrain of Longshouyuan. As Xuan Shijing said, it is indeed the best choice to build a palace based on Yong'an Palace of Longshouyuan.

"Your Majesty, I am a proposition of Lord Xuan," Xu Jingzong bowed and said, "Now the Tang Dynasty is no longer the same as before. The current imperial palace was built by the former Sui Dynasty. It is too simple. Every year, countries around the Tang Dynasty come to the Tang Dynasty to visit the country of our sect leader and visit the Tiankang Khan. This Tai Chi Palace is a bit clumsy."

"I'm asking." Li Yifu has been secretly observing His Majesty Li Er's expression since he came in. Although the newly built palace was proposed by Xuan Shijing, it was obvious that His Majesty was already moved now, otherwise he would not have summoned Yan Lide and Yan Liben directly.

It is obvious that Your Majesty has discussed with Xuan Shijing, and Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang's opposition is not so fierce. As long as Your Majesty's attitude is more affirmative, the construction of a new palace will be completed. Now that you can support Your Majesty Li Er and Xuan Shijing, you will not offend Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

Among his colleagues and officials, Li Yifu had a nickname called "Li Mao". He had a gentle appearance and smiled with others, and was afraid of evil thieves... Therefore, people at that time said that there was a knife in their smile, and they also harmed things because of their softness.

Now Li Yi Mansion is just a servant of the Secretariat, so to this day, he has only seen Li Yi Mansion flatteringly and has not seen him harming others.

If Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong are in high positions in the future, it will be the time for Li Mao to stretch out his minions.

"What Lord Xu said is not without reason. If Your Majesty already has a lot of mountains and valleys in his heart, I will not object." Changsun Wuji bowed and said.

"I'm going to discuss it." Chu Suiliang also bowed behind Changsun Wuji.

"Okay, since that's the case, I will issue an order tomorrow to order the Ministry of Revenue to cooperate with the Ministry of Works to discuss the matter of the new palace. The new palace will be built by you brothers." His Majesty Li Er's eyes fell on Yan Lide and Yan Liben.

"Yes, I obey the order." The two brothers bowed and responded.

Before the construction of the new palace starts, the two brothers need to draw out the drawings of the new palace and send them to His Majesty Li Er. After the drawings are set, the formal construction will begin. Before the drawings are released, they will not rest. The Ministry of Revenue allocates money and grain, and the Ministry of Industry needs to send people to purchase the materials used to build the palace, especially the pillars of the main hall, which must be made of golden nanmu wood that is one thousand miles away. This golden nanmu wood needs to be sent to Shuzhong to purchase and then transported to Chang'an. It will take the first half of a year for these golden nanmu pillars to be transported to Chang'an.

Before the craftsmen arrive at Longshouyuan, what they need to do is to level the foundation. This is the first step and the top priority.

The matters in the palace were discussed and nothing else was left. Xuan Shijing left Ganlu Palace and left the palace. Outside the palace, the coachman was still waiting in the carriage. After seeing Xuan Shijing, he drove the carriage to the palace gate and waited for Xuan Shijing to get on the carriage.

"Let's go, go to Daozhengfang, and then we will go back to the village directly." Xuan Shijing said.

After Xuan Shijing came back from Pyongyang, he only had a day off at the farm. It was just that day's idleness. Now Xuan Shijing wants to go back and go around the farm to see the scene in the farm, especially the school in Zhuangzi, which is the top priority.

As for the Daozhengfang Institute of Technology, it has its own system, with specialized people connecting with various merchants in Chang'an City, and promote all the useful things developed by the craftsmen in the Institute of Technology to shops in Chang'an City in exchange for money to maintain the operation of the Institute of Technology.

Then, after that, the construction of the palace in Longshouyuan was about to start, and the entire engineering college would probably be recruited by the Ministry of Works.

This is also a good thing. After all, the best craftsmen around Chang'an gather at the Institute of Technology, and the Ministry of Works does not recruit any commissions, which is strange.

After returning to the mansion of Daozhengfang, Xuan Shijing got two invitations from the doorman, one of which was Li Tai and the other of which was Li Ke.

"You go to the two princes' mansion to upload a letter. If you get together, come to the village." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." The concierge answered and then went out.
