Chapter 636 Wiped off a cold sweat that didnt exist
He felt that he had seen some kind of hope, but he didn't hope that he would be able to survive until the day when he saw the hope come true.
If he can't see it, will his next successor have the same idea as him?
If the next successor disagrees, then...
What Mrs. Yao and Li Wenchong are doing now is dangerous. The emperor's silence in the early stage was to allow them time to "grow in secret"; but in the later stage when they were about to push away, without the emperor's support, their ideas would be lost.
How to stand tall in the court without falling?
Emperor Mingguang thought about all his sons and found that none of them were suitable. If he wanted the new successor to follow the ideas of Mrs. Yao and Li Wenchong, he probably had to train them from an early age.
Considering his own age, the youngest son might not be able to compete with his older brothers, so Emperor Mingguang set his sights on his grandsons.
Several princes have their eldest sons, so...
A few days later, several princes received instructions from Emperor Mingguang, and all the princes and grandsons who were three years old or older were sent to the study room to study.
Everyone was shocked: Aren’t you six years old? How come you are three years old?!
While the princes were still speculating on Emperor Mingguang's intentions, Gu Qingling received a letter from Li Wenchong.
Touching his forehead with shame: This guy moves too fast!
Isn't he afraid of Emperor Mingguang's anger?
But judging from the results, it turns out that no one in the world understands Emperor Mingguang better than him - he loves him to no end.
No wonder it was rumored that Li Wenchong was the son of Emperor Mingguang and the late emperor and his concubine. Emperor Mingguang had so many biological sons, so he was afraid that none of them would be favored, right?
In addition, she registered with Emperor Mingguang, but I don't know whether she had more good impressions or bad impressions.
Every time Gu Qingling wrote a letter, he asked Li Wenchong to take his time and take his time. Li Wenchong promised well and would do whatever he had to do when he turned around.
Gu Qingling was also convinced.
"What's the matter, old lady? What did Prince Chong write in his letter?" The eldest maid Chun Qing came over as soon as she saw Gu Qingling holding her forehead.
Gu Qingling smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, he just asked me how much land I want. He will help me circle the land first, and then wait for me to set up a book school in the capital."
"Prince Chong has considered it very carefully. Don't be polite to him, old lady. Tell him directly how much land you want."
"I will definitely not be polite to him." I feel sorry for myself if I keep "selling" myself and don't take advantage of him.
Gu Qingling found Lou Qing, the second son of Lou, and told him roughly what kind of house he wanted, and asked him to find someone to help design it.
"This is going to be built in the capital in the future. You can let people design it well. There are no restrictions on materials and land area. You can design it however you want. If you design it well, I will give this job to you Lou family.
"
As soon as Lou Qing heard what Mrs. Yao and Gu Qingling said, she didn't agree. When she came back, she immediately called the best craftsmen in his team over and asked them to come up with the most beautiful plan.
"Mr. Yao said that whether we can get the job in the capital depends on this design draft."
"We have worked hard for so long, but isn't this the opportunity we have been waiting for?"
"As long as we get this thing done, we will be the number one house builder in the world, and no one in the Ming Dynasty will know about us."
…
The craftsmen were all excited and said that they would come up with the best method to win this good opportunity.
This is a good opportunity for them to make a name for themselves, be featured in the "Jinling Daily", or even the "Da Ming Daily", and become famous all over the world.
They worked hard one by one, and in less than a month, they came up with several plans for Mrs. Yao to choose from.
Lu Qingling was quite satisfied with getting so many plans, but she thought their "creativity" was not bold enough and encouraged Lou Qing and the others to be more bold.
"Be more bold?!" Craftsman Master Dong was a little undecided and repeatedly confirmed with Lou Qing, "Mr. Lou, this plan has been learned two or three times from the Yao clan. It's not bold enough? What does Mrs. Yao want?
What kind of design plan?”
Lou Qing touched his chin and searched: "Master Dong, please change it again. If it doesn't work, just think about South Street, the first market for foreign demand in Jinling."
Master Dong's eyes widened: "So big?!"
He felt that Lou Qing was exaggerating a bit.
But Lou Qing said: "It's just that big. Since Mrs. Yao thinks our design is too petty, let's be bolder. Then we'll be bolder and make it bigger."
Master Dong: "..."
It doesn’t feel like building a book school, but building a city, right?
He is a designer of house construction, not a feudal lord in charge of building cities. If he goes to kill the lord, are you sure that no one will cause trouble for him in the future?
However, it is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and the same goes for Master Dong. He has worked all his life and has been just a low-ranking soldier. He also wants to be recognized by the court, and he also wants to leave a name in history and honor his ancestors.
Master Dong gritted his teeth: "It's done!"
Isn’t it just to design the book school to be bigger?
The design is the design. Anyway, whether it should be built or adopted at that time is also the old lady's business.
Another month later, Lu Qingling got the first version of "University Town".
Yes, that's right.
Gu Qingling called it "University Town", but now it has a more literary name, "Shuxiangyuan", which means other courtyard.
Although this design draft was very rough, only drawing the main functional areas and the main design style of the house, Gu Qingling showed a satisfied smile on his face and asked Lou Qing to lead his men to implement this design.
Master Dong: "..."
The Second Young Master Lou is indeed the Second Young Master Lou, but he actually guessed it?!
In fact, Lou Qing touched the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead and was also shocked by Gu Qingling's generosity.
He knew that she was very ambitious, but...
Whose book school is designed to be so big?!
This is almost a city.
He felt a little uneasy, and privately communicated with Mrs. Lou, Liniang, and asked Liniang to "test" Mrs. Yao's tone. Don't let anything go wrong then, Mrs. Yao will go crazy, and the Yao family will blame them.
On the heads of the Lou family.
Compared with the Yao family, the Lou family is just a merchant, and it is not easy to crush them to death.
It's better not to offend if you can.
"Ah? Is this happening?" Mrs. Yao Er was shocked.
Mrs. Lou carefully looked at Mrs. Yao's expression: "Mrs. Yao... doesn't she know?"
Mrs. Yao Er shook her head: "Old Mrs. Jun never mentioned it, but...Old Mrs. Junshun always attaches great importance to book schools. No matter where a factory is built, as long as there are many people, in addition to building residential areas, it also builds various schools.
, kindergarten, elementary school, book school... Since the old lady personally discussed it with Mr. Lou, it should be true."
"We don't doubt this, we just feel a little uneasy. The book school that the old lady wants to build is a bit big. You know the first market outside Jinling? If they were all built, I'm afraid it wouldn't be smaller than this."
"So big?!" Mrs. Yao Er was surprised, "That's indeed a bit too big... But since the old lady said it, she has her own plans, so you don't have to worry too much. The old lady never
It would be a fool's errand. If she dares to ask you to make design drawings, she must be fully prepared."
