Wei Qing was in a bad mood during this period and was always distracted. Even when he was guarding the Jianzhang Palace, he was absent-minded. The Jianzhang Palace was the place where the emperor lived. Ministers at all levels would come to the emperor to discuss matters and guard the palace outside the palace gate.
Wei, you can hear some of what's going on inside. The emperor originally issued an order to the Su family for Su Ren to build the Imperial Academy. Wei Qing knew about it, but Wei Qing didn't expect that the emperor really didn't pay a penny.
Wei Qing also inquired about it, and found out that one million dollars were needed to build the Imperial Academy. He had never seen that much money before, and had never thought about it. If the emperor did not provide the money, Su Ren would naturally have to pay for it. Wei Qing felt that this was right.
Brother Su, if he hadn't taken the emperor there himself, there wouldn't have been such a thing.
On this day, Liu Che was in a good mood and went hunting in Shanglinyuan with his guards. Wei Qing was among them as a guard. Because Wei Qing was absent-minded, he let go of a sika deer that had been completely surrounded, which made everyone dissatisfied.
Liu Che is Wei Qing's brother-in-law and the emperor, so he still has the necessary generosity. Looking at Wei Qing who was kneeling in front of his horse to plead guilty, Liu Che smiled, turned over and dismounted: "What's wrong? Is my Shanglinyuan not good?"
Wei Qing said he didn't dare, with a helpless expression on his face. Liu Che waved the other guards away, and pulled Wei Qing and the two of them to sit down on a stone beside the road. Liu Che smiled and said, "I'm still worried about your brother Su.
?”
Wei Qing was stunned, quickly raised his head, and looked at Liu Che pitifully: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Although I have not known Brother Su for a long time, I admire Brother Su very much. If I hadn't gone to Brother Su this time, Your Majesty wouldn't have gone back.
Nothing will happen next, one million dollars is not small money, I have never seen it in my life!"
Liu Che laughed and patted Wei Qing on the shoulder: "Just because you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that your brother Su hasn't seen it. As far as I know, Su Ren came to Chang'an this time and prepared a full five hundred dollars to save Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang.
Although some of the ten thousand yuan was given to Xuchang, less than 10% was spent. This little money is nothing in the eyes of your brother Su."
Wei Qing looked at Liu Che in shock: "Five million dollars!"
Liu Che nodded: "Didn't you always say that your brother Su was very courageous. When he had nothing, he dared to go to Pingyang to find Pingyang Marquis and me, and also persuaded Princess Pingyang to let me help him. What's the matter?
Don’t you trust your Brother Su anymore?”
"I am stupid!"
Liu Che smiled: "Okay, get up! I see that Su Ren has been busy these days, focusing on the construction of the Imperial College. When this matter becomes a matter, I will reward him heavily. I brought you back from Pingyang.
They say you are superb in martial arts, so don’t embarrass me!"
"No!" Wei Qing quickly stood up and saluted.
Gongsun Ao and Li Danghu each carried a golden pheasant and ran over excitedly. They were very happy. The golden pheasant in their hands was big and fat, and the hair on the tail was very long. When the sun shined, it was colorful and beautiful.
Gongsun Ao shouted: "Your Majesty, can this golden pheasant be rewarded to a humble minister?"
Liu Che smiled and asked, "Why?"
Gongsun Ao puffed up his chest and said, "I will fight in battle one day. When I have accomplished a great feat, I will use this golden pheasant feather as a helmet and dazzle the enemy when it dazzles in the sun!"
"Hahaha..." Liu Che laughed: "Do you know whose helmet uses golden pheasant tail feathers?"
"General! I must kill more enemies and let your majesty appoint me as a general!"
Liu Che nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I will reward you with this golden pheasant. When you become a general, I will personally put the tail feathers on your helmet for you!"
Gongsun Ao was overjoyed and saluted quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Che looked at Li Danghu again, focusing on his left leg: "How is it? It's nothing serious, right?"
Li Danghu raised his left leg and moved it twice: "It's nothing serious. It's just a scar. Thanks to Su Ren. I heard the medical officer said that if the bleeding had not been stopped in time and the subsequent treatment had not been done properly, my leg would have been useless."
Got it!"
Gongsun Ao smiled and said: "It's more than just one leg. I heard that if Su Ren hadn't pulled you out of the car, your life would have been lost, and Your Majesty would have lost a general!"
Li Danghu nodded repeatedly: "Yes! He also said that he would go to Su Ren's house to thank him. I have been visiting Su Ren for the past few days and almost forgot about it!"
Liu Che also nodded: "Speaking of which, Danghu was injured for me, and Su Ren saved my life. I have to thank Su Ren. In a few days, Wei Qing will take you to his house. Su Ren will cook
The method is very good, but it is a pity that Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang disturbed the banquet that day, otherwise I would have had to try it."
Gongsun Ao handed the golden pheasant to his servants, took off his helmet, and sat on the ground next to Liu Che: "You talked so much about Su Ren that I want to meet him. How about you take me with you when you go?
"
Gongsun He led the people and carried a wild boar that turned into a hedgehog. He came over covered in blood and threw the wild boar to the ground: "You and I, you all are going, leaving me behind is not a problem! Last time we escorted your majesty.
Pingyang, I'm sorry I didn't meet the Su Ren you mentioned. I heard that Su Ren was very powerful when he was in Shu County. He also served as a school captain in Chengdu. He went to Yuanshan alone and persuaded a mountain bandit worth 100,000 yuan.
He led a thousand men to resist ten thousand rebels, and finally defeated the rebels without a single blow. How could such a character not be seen?"
Han Yan sarcastically said: "Here comes another martial artist!"
Gongsun Ao said with a smile: "Why don't you use martial arts? It's time to expand the territory for your majesty. How can we imitate those Confucian scholars who spend all day doing it? It gives me a headache just listening to it."
Li Danghu smiled: "We have no choice but to use military force. We are all His Majesty's people. In the future, we will not only open up territories for Your Majesty, but also manage the areas that have been conquered by Your Majesty. Although those Confucian scholars are pedantic, they have some things to say.
It’s true, it’s always good to learn more.”
Liu Che was overjoyed: "Danghu is right! You are all my personal guards. In the future, I will still rely on you, and you, Wei Qing!"
Anyone who can be around Liu Che can be said to be a generation of upright and popular people. Li Danghu doesn’t need to talk about Li Guang’s eldest son. Gongsun He is the son of Pingqu Hou Gongsun Hunxie, and Han Yan is the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, Han Wangxin.
Of his descendants, Gongsun Ao, the most unlucky, is now a knight, and only Wei Qing came to Jianzhang Palace with the help of his sister. Liu Che brought Wei Qing closer to his circle with one word, and Wei Qing was extremely grateful.
Everyone stood up and saluted and accepted the order. Liu Che was particularly happy and got on his horse: "Let's go, whoever hunts the most today will be rewarded heavily!"
Several people quickly mounted their horses, shouted and ran away with Liu Che. Just after leaving the resting place, three men in black flashed out from the bushes. Looking at the direction Liu Che and others were walking, several people communicated with their eyes, and again
Get into the weeds nearby.
Su Ren was very busy. In order to adapt himself to the strange drawing method of the Han Dynasty map, Su Ren carefully studied the map he took from Taichang. Later he found that the map was very exquisite, but it was a pity that the proportions were not perfect.
It is not under consideration. There should be about ten acres of land near Nanguomen marked on the map, but after actual measurement, it is not even five acres. Also, looking at the map, Qiaozikou should be thirty-eight steps away from Fucun Street.
But after actually walking through it, it didn't take more than 150 steps.
Su Ren angrily crumpled the map of Taichang Mansion into a ball, and angrily asked Sima Xiangru to find someone to re-measure it. He wanted to make it himself. It took ten days, measuring and drawing at the same time, using a unified proportion.
With unified lines, all the places around the Imperial College that they wanted to build were marked on the map.
Looking at the strange symbols and lines on the map, Dongfang Shuo looked at them for a long time and suddenly realized it. He said to Su Ren with shining eyes: "Master Su, you are really a genius! This thing is simply a miniature Chang'an City.
With it, even if you don't know the road, you won't go wrong!" After studying it carefully for a long time, Dongfang Shuo was amazed: "Good! That's great, there is no difference, not bad at all!"
Sima Xiangru looked at it for a long time, but still didn't understand. Dongfang Shuo pointed to the map and said: "The thick lines are the streets and stone roads, the lines one by one are the dirt roads, the triangles are the shops, the circles are the houses, the square ones are
The place is the government office, and the strange-shaped lines that enter and exit from the outside of the city are the river. You can see the size and shape of each household, and the bridge is also clearly visible. Mr. Su is really a god!"
After Dongfang Shuo's guidance, Sima Xiangru's eyes lit up. The terrain of the southwest corner of Chang'an City appeared clearly in front of him. Every street, every alley, and even every shop appeared clearly in front of Sima Xiangru.
Sima Xiangru was overjoyed: "Okay, with this thing, it will be much easier to build the Imperial Academy and demolish the people!"
Su Ren sat aside, looking at the two guys over fifty who were as happy as children with contempt, and sneered. This thing would be a joke in future generations, but these two people actually regarded it as a treasure. He quickly stopped the two elderly people who were about to copy.
, Su Rendao: "Okay, now it's clear. We have to demolish a total of 137 households, 94 shops, and two government offices. According to the plan we formulated, we will see how much compensation is needed.
and rebuild.”
"In addition, we need to advance for the reconstruction, which may be astronomical. I hope Mr. Cui can persuade those businessmen to invest heavily. This is a hugely profitable business. If it can be successful, the return will be more than ten times. Now it depends on those businessmen.
I don’t have this vision.”
After calming down, the two people quickly began to calculate, and they didn't make a rough calculation until it was time to turn on the lamp. Holding the account book, Sima Xiangru took a breath: "It's too much, just this small piece, I have to tell my husband.
Same, it basically costs me a year’s worth of taxes.”
“How much is the annual tax?”
"Ten million dollars!" Dongfang Shuo gritted his teeth and said.
"Fortunately, it's within my expectations!" Su Ren nodded: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to the palace and borrow money from His Majesty. You two will start mobilizing the people and make it clear that we welcome anyone who wants to come back. If
If you don’t want to come back, we will compensate you. We must not force you to come back. If you provoke a popular uprising, it will be a big deal.”
