Great construction work was carried out in the East Palace.
After Yu Wenhao was canonized as the crown prince, he lived in the Chu Palace. Later, when he ascended the throne, he went through a formality in the East Palace, and he was not even considered to have lived in the East Palace.
In the past, the national treasury was poor and there was not much money to spend on decoration.
Things are different now. The country is rich and the people are strong. In addition, since Yu Wenhao ascended the throne, he has not carried out any major construction projects, such as building gardens, building palaces, and building mausoleums.
In addition, because there are no expenses for the ladies in the harem, the money allocated to the inner treasury every year must be endless, and the inner treasury is now extremely rich.
Compared with the expenses of Emperor Ming Yuan at that time, Yu Wenhao's current expenditure was only about 20% of that time, which was really very economical.
Therefore, the renovation of the East Palace this time does not require any money from the state treasury, and the inner treasury can complete it by itself.
However, if the Xiudong Palace court does not contribute some money, as if it is staying out of the matter, Yu Wenhao still sends an edict to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and you can do whatever you want.
The Ministry of Engineering worked overtime continuously and rushed out the design drawings, which were submitted to the emperor for review.
As for how much money is needed to use materials, the Ministry of Works will first contact the Ministry of Household Affairs. How much money will be given by the Ministry of Household Affairs, how much work the Ministry of Works will do, and how much materials will be used.
After Yu Wenhao took a look at it, he felt quite satisfied and showed it to both Lao Yuan and Bao Er.
Yuan Qingling had no objection. Her aesthetics was similar to that of Lao Wu, so she left it to Bao'er to make the decision.
After Yu Wenli looked at it, he thought there was nothing wrong with it, so he handed it to Chitong who was following him.
Chitong took the drawing and turned it up, down, left and right, hmm, I don't understand.
Yu Wenli suddenly felt that he should teach Chitong how to read.
She is not required to be knowledgeable, but she must be able to read.
So after reading the drawings, he took Chitong to the small study room.
When he wrote Chitong's name on the paper, Chitong's eyes widened with joy, and he pointed at the words and read: "Baozi!"
Yu Wenli smiled, "No, Chi Tong."
"Red Eyes?"
She tilted her head and said, "I want to learn how to make steamed buns."
"No, learn your own name first."
Yu Wenli said.
"No, I want to learn how to make steamed buns first."
Chitong said stubbornly.
Yu Wenli looked at her and said seriously: "Chitong, you promise me one thing. No matter when, no matter what you face, or who you face, the first thing you have to consider is yourself, and the one you have to take care of is yourself.
Keep this sentence firmly in your heart and never forget it, do you understand?"
Chitong's big eyes were full of doubts, "Why?
Can't it be Brother Baozi?"
"cannot."
Yu Wenli was categorical and said in a more serious tone, "Only when you protect yourself can you have the strength to take care of me or others."
Chi Tong is like a blank sheet of paper, with no concept of life or behavior. In addition, she was by his side as a little fox before, so it is easy for her to be like Bao Zilang, protecting him first no matter what happens.
Slowly, this has become a loyalty hidden deep in the blood. Now that she is showing signs of it, she must stop it in time.
Let her understand that no matter what happens, she should take care of herself first.
Chitong was not very happy. She just wanted to learn his name first. Moreover, if something happened, she would definitely protect her brother Baozi. How could she take care of herself first?
If he gets bad, she won't want to be a fox anymore.
"Then I'll learn from Bao Zilang."
Chitong's head turned around, and she learned how to write Bao Zi Lang.
"no!"
Yu Wenli smiled and pressed her forehead with his finger, "Learn from Chitong first."
"Oh well."
Chitong still compromised, but she planned to go against it and go to Zelan tomorrow to ask Zelan to teach her how to write steamed buns.
Yu Wenli first taught her how to hold a pen. After holding the pen correctly, he would write strokes on the paper. Don't be in a hurry to write. You should practice the strokes first before writing.
Chi Tong is not stupid, she can be said to be quite clever. Yu Wenli thinks she should be able to write easily.
But in the end, after teaching for a long time, I couldn't even write a horizontal line well. When the horizontal line came out, it was either soft, bent, or straight to the bottom, so I couldn't write a horizontal line well.
The posture of holding the pen is always wrong. She insists on holding it with one hand and doesn't like to move her fingers.
She was confident, "There is no such thing as a fox who can write. I am the first one."
Yu Wenli looked at her in astonishment for a long time. He really couldn't refute this sentence.
