Just after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the construction team from the Ministry of Industry entered the house to build the princess's wedding room.
The leader of the team was an old acquaintance, Tian Wenyuan, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Industry has four branches: the first is the Ministry of Industry, the second is the Tuntian, the third is the Yubu, and the fourth is the Ministry of Water. The Ministry of Industry under this branch can be called the headquarters of the Ministry of Industry. It has great power and is in charge of business prosperity.
All the construction tasks include the dredging of the city, the repair of the earthworks, the craftsman's program, and the longitude. The field doctor and the Yuan Wai Lang are in charge of the political orders of the world.
It can be said that he controls most of the business of the Ministry of Industry Yamen.
In comparison, the Department of Water Resources of Yubu where Fang Jun once worked is just soy sauce...
Although Tian Wenyuan was a doctor in the Sixth Department and was classified as an official of the sixth rank, he was not as good as Fang Xuanling at all, so he could only hand over to Fang Jun face to face.
He treated Fang Jun with great courtesy, completely putting himself in a low position, and regarded Fang Jun as a senior officer in the past.
"How are you doing, Erlang? Haha, since you were transferred from the Ministry of Works, everyone has missed you very much. However, since you have become famous all over the world, we have not dared to visit you."
Tian Wenyuan bent over with a flattering look on his face.
Today is different from the past.
Back in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Tian Wenyuan still had some thoughts when facing Fang Jun. When he got brave enough, he dared to say a few words without hesitation. But now, he has become famous all over the world, not only
His poetic talent is unparalleled in ancient times and today, and he is highly praised by many great scholars. Just the title of "the first dude in Guanzhong" makes Tian Wenyuan's heart tremble...
Take a look, who are the people under my fists and feet?
Prince, important minister, emperor's son-in-law, son of aristocratic family!
I don’t have enough status with this little bit of identity...
People go to higher places, water flows to lower places, and those who know the current affairs are heroes.
Fang Jun was not embarrassed at all.
People keep a low profile, so they don't have to worry about the small unpleasantness of the past.
Picking up the tea cup in front of him and signaling Tian Wenyuan to relax and drink tea by himself, Fang Jun asked casually: "What's the budget for this project?"
Tian Wen saw Fang Jun's calm and easy-going expression, and he put down the little worries in his heart. He felt relaxed and replied: "I want Erlang to know that princesses and princes' residences have regulations. Generally speaking, princesses
The construction cost of the palace is about 50,000 yuan, and the prince's residence is double that. Of course, the rules are not rigid, and it depends on the situation. For example, the residence of His Highness the King of Wei was also supervised by his subordinates.
Outside, it cost no less than 300,000 yuan..."
Fang Jun was relieved.
In any era, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
Nowadays, commodity prices are extremely stable, and the purchasing power of Kaiyuan Tongbao is extremely strong. A dou of rice only sells for four or five cents. Calculated at five cents per dou of rice, regular money can buy two hundred dou of rice, which is twenty shi. In the Tang Dynasty, one stone was about six
Ten kilograms, based on the average rice price of RMB 1.5 per kilogram before Fang Jun crossed over, one tael of silver is equivalent to the purchasing power of RMB 3,600.
The cost of building the residence of King Li Tai of Wei was 300,000 yuan, which is equivalent to more than one billion yuan, which is a sky-high price.
This is only the construction cost of the house, not counting the utensils, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the house...
Of course, Fang Jun would not be so stupid as to compare with King Li Tai of Wei.
But naturally I won't let it go without taking advantage of it.
He also worked in the Ministry of Industry and knew some of the tricks here. "Budget overrun" is not only a modern thing, it was more common in ancient times.
Fang Jun nodded and said: "Within the scope of your operation, try to increase the budget as much as possible. The garden to the east of my house seems to be the house of a soldier in Prince Zheng's mansion. Prince Zheng has been implicated recently. I heard that
The Bingbing Cao is about to be transferred to Yan County, Yuezhou. This house must not be of much use anymore. You come forward and talk to him. The price is whatever he wants, buy it for someone, and then open up the connection with the government.
.”
Tian Wenyuan thought about it for a while, looked troubled, and said cautiously: "Erlang's instructions, there is no problem. But in this way, the area of your mansion will be increased by half. If it is fully expanded, not to mention the time or not, the cost will probably be ten thousand."
Wan Guan is not enough..."
His authority can only fluctuate from the original limit of 50,000 guan in the Princess Mansion to 18,000 guan. If it is any more, it will exceed the limit of the rules. Once someone investigates it, it will be a charge of malfeasance.
He can't bear it.
Fang Jun put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "I won't make it difficult for you. Whatever the shortfall is, I will make up for it. I just have one thing, the best materials and the best craftsmanship. If you are not satisfied with anything, be careful that I will come to you."
Trouble."
Tian Wenyuan was sweating a little.
Fortunately, this man only asked for materials and craftsmanship, and did not intend to take any advantage. This fact made Tian Wenyuan quite admired.
Beijing is being renovated every year, and countless new mansions are built. Which of those official and aristocratic families wants to take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of meat from the Ministry of Works? Every time, Tian Wenyuan has to deal with it well, not letting others take advantage, and they are all dignified and dignified.
Minister, I'm so annoyed. I don't know what to do, so I put on small shoes for a sixth-grade official. I'm taking too much advantage, and that's even worse! How stupid is it to trap yourself in order not to offend others?
The room is bright and spacious!
Tian Wenyuan relaxed in his heart and patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Erlang! Since the construction of this house started, Xiaguan has been living and eating here. He will keep an eye on you with his eyes open. If there is any ambiguity, please go to Xiaguan."
say!"
Fang Jun was very satisfied that this was a decent guy, so he smiled and said: "So, there is Brother Laotian?"
Tian Wenyuan was overjoyed.
These are all brothers, so it can be seen that my response has caught Fang Er's eye.
Ordinary people may not know Fang Jun's potential. They only see that he currently has no official position and is dressed in white. But how could Tian Wenyuan, who is in the system, not know? This man just suffered a disadvantage due to his age. After a few years of settling down, he relied on his own
With his abilities and his status as the son-in-law of the emperor and the son-in-law of the emperor, he is a proper official. If he can even be decentralized to the ruling party, he can be the official of the border!
This good relationship is finally forged!
Tian Wenyuan secretly decided that he must work hard to build the princess mansion this time and make Fang Jun satisfied.
The thoughts in my heart were spinning, and I suddenly remembered something. I looked around and lowered my voice and said: "Since Erlang trusts the official so much, the official should reciprocate the favor. A few days ago, a batch of nanmu was shipped from Sichuan, and they were all of the best quality.
The wood was originally intended to be used by many members of the royal family to repair their mansions, but the conspiracy suddenly broke out and many people were implicated, so the project was naturally delayed. If Erlang is interested, the official can use this batch of wood
I will transfer it to your house for use first, and then I will send it to Shuzhong to make up for it. But the quality of this batch of nanmu is very good, and many people are staring at it. Look..."
Fang Jun understood instantly.
He said grandly: "You just need to make arrangements. Money is not a problem. I will make sure that Mr. Tian can be justified. In addition, if there are any good materials, you can use them at your own discretion. Just tell someone, and the accounts will definitely let you
Another explanation."
In this age where monarchy is supreme, money is sometimes useless.
There are many rare materials, they are all for the royal family, and ordinary people cannot buy them even if they have money. The Ministry of Industry is in charge of the repair and construction of the royal family, so there must be a lot of good things in hand, but even if you have the money, you can buy them.
Unexpected fun stuff.
Fang Jun is not short of money, so he naturally chooses good things to use. As long as they don't exceed the limit, there will be no problem.
Tian Wenyuan raised his thumb and praised: "Erlang is really cool! I didn't say anything, as long as it is a good thing that I can allocate, I will definitely use it for you. After your house is completed, it will be the only one in the capital!"
Fang Jun smiled and said, "It's the princess's mansion."
Tian Wenyuan was stunned, and quickly said with a smile: "Yes, yes, look at my mouth, it's the princess's house!"
His Majesty Li Er is very protective of his children. His children can do whatever they want in some areas that are slightly over the line, but it would definitely not be possible for ministers.
Status is very important.
*****
Tian Wenyuan had the intention of making friends with Fang Jun, so he naturally worked hard.
Two days later, news came that the mansion of the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple on the left side of Fang's mansion was sold to Fang Jun for a price of 10,000 gu.
Fang Jun happily paid the money and went to the county government office in person to replace the property deed.
At the gate of the county government office, Fang Jun met his neighbor.
This man is about thirty years old, tall and thin, handsome and handsome, as gentle as jade. He is a handsome uncle with outstanding temperament.
