Now that we have reached this point, no one has asked about it, and Zhao Xi has no intention of telling anyone, so he can just do his own work.
At the same time, the plan for the new weapons inspection that I had made was also given to Li Jie.
Fortunately, after a few days of rest, Li Jie returned to his elegant demeanor, full of energy and full of energy.
"Ming Zhong, don't rush for the moment. With your talents, there are still many things that need your leadership."
Zhao Xi was really worried that no matter how hard this kid worked, he couldn't overdraw a big talent just because of this nonsense.
He was overthinking it. The reason why Li Jie was like that was firstly because he was grateful after being appointed for the first time, and secondly because he understood the situation of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Things are different now. The new Ordnance Supervision can only be started after the renovation here is completed and His Highness collects the money.
Therefore, he just needs to find time to do it. After all, he still has to be responsible for supervising the manufacture of old weapons.
…
Everything is ready, everything in the early stage of the new weapons inspection is ready, just waiting for money and food.
The renovation of the old site only has a rough outline. In later terms, the main body is completed. There are only final decorations left.
Zhao Xi doesn't like procrastination, he just likes to move things forward. So, he asked Li Jie to draw a hand-drawn rendering of the entire renovation of the old site, an enlarged version that could be posted outside for everyone to see.
As a result, the whole Bianliang was in a state of excitement, starting from the moment I saw the pictures on the wall of the old weapons prison.
In fact, it is the so-called villa area in later generations, including townhouses and single-family houses.
The difference is that the appearance is all in line with the contemporary aesthetics and structure, but the inside is purely the layout of later generations.
From the living room, dining room, bedroom, study room, to the maid's room, utility room, etc., it is completely like that of later generations.
Such a house is not very attractive to the husband. After all, the number of servants and servants alone cannot meet the needs of the husband... Building a separate courtyard is another matter.
But for those merchants with a few dollars, as well as those scholars who are just entering the official career and have a little bit of money at home, the attraction is not generally great.
I heard that even Su Shi's family rented a house when they first arrived in Bianliang, and they still don't have a room.
The key is that Zhao Xi asked Mr. Lu to mark it below. The so-called series of rows can all be connected...
"At first I thought I was accompanying His Highness the Crown Prince, but I didn't expect that I would make a lot of money in the end."
Cao You is now the head of the family. According to his uncle Cao's words, the Cao family respects His Highness the Crown Prince. When His Highness the Crown Prince is in trouble, he does not hesitate to provide money and food, and persuades the six early families to contribute funds together.
I thought this was a one-way deal, but I didn't expect it. In the end, I actually made a profit, a big profit.
Just look at the current review of the Ordnance Supervision House in Bianliang.
"Lieutenant, as for that house, I also want to have a place. For whatever reason, I just want to take a leisurely walk around the bridge and the water, and look at the flowers, plants and trees."
The heads of the Gao family and the Shi family couldn't help but be happy. The three old men sat together and chatted.
"Everything His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does cannot be justified by common sense!"
This should be the most pertinent and common evaluation.
The same comment was made in court.
In the palace hall, wherever the princes could not see, they were discussing how to obtain a house like that.
I didn't dare to discuss it in front of the princes. It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince intended to let the court take the lead. Because the princes did not agree, His Royal Highness almost emptied the entire East Palace and even borrowed a lot from his maternal uncle's family to accomplish this.
Sigh... If the court was in charge, people like them might still be able to stay close to the water. Now, when people invest, they always need profits. Even if His Highness the Crown Prince is interested, he can't help but consider the investors' profits, right?
I thought this way because I was planning to watch His Highness the Crown Prince’s joke.
That's it, no one cares about it, even if what he said before and after is different, no one cares, because everyone has changed before and after.
Those who originally discussed His Highness the Crown Prince's misfortune are still gathering together to discuss, but the discussion has turned into speculations about the prosperity of the East Palace and Gaocao families.
Fu Bi passed by various public houses and heard some discussions intentionally or unintentionally. The same was true for Wen Yanbo and all the ministers were like this.
It's just that in all the scenes, most of them are bitter, but Di Qing feels happy.
Even on the night when I heard the discussion, I sang a little tune and had a few more drinks.
I, the minister of Han Dynasty, are rough men and soldiers, but you are scholars and good men, so why didn’t you get slipped away by His Highness the Crown Prince? Hehe! Relieve your anger!
It seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince's action had vented all the depression he had suffered in the court.
I don’t know how many houses like that I can buy with the money I sent over? Forget it, I don’t want to do this. I just promised to help His Highness. That’s what I said. I will never regret it.
"Your Highness is also..."
Wen Yanbo only said half a sentence, and he didn't know what to say further.
What can I say? Is it true that His Highness must retaliate for his anger? Obviously, His Highness was prepared for this from the beginning, but the imperial court refused to take the initiative.
Fu Bi looked up and shook his head helplessly... There was really nothing to say.
"Rich Prime Minister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent people over and brought the house certificates for ten arms workshops. The visitor said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince explained that because the arms workshops have merchants' assets, they cannot all be handed over to the imperial court. After all, being an arms workshop is
Those who belong to the imperial court will send 10% of the houses to be controlled by the imperial court."
This... was astonishing. All the ministers were astonished. Originally, Wen Yanbo had called everyone together to convince His Highness the Crown Prince that it would be best to leave some houses for the court and to calm the complaints of his subordinates. Unexpectedly, he wanted to
Ahead...
Di Qing wanted to laugh, but when he saw Wen Yanbo's twitching corners of his mouth, he especially wanted to laugh.
Hehe, His Highness the Crown Prince is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he always surprises you.
Are you going to talk to the officials together? Go! Go and talk?
Fu Bi shook his head again and smiled bitterly. Zeng Gongliang and Bao Zheng turned around directly... Gongse still had a lot of things to do, and he didn't have time to accompany Wen Kuanfu.
What did you do early?
Thinking about the original court meeting, it seems that no one really stood on the side of His Royal Highness.
If you can, go ahead. Zhao Xi did this because he didn't know that Wen Yanbo had such skills. He simply thought it was appropriate to do so.
How should I put it, the imperial court belongs to everyone, and the state belongs to everyone. Although it belongs to the Zhao family in name, if I really made this money, I'm afraid there is nothing wrong with it.
Besides, depending on the current situation, I will make a lot of money now.
One can't do too much. It's enough for him to earn enough money to build an arms supervisor.
Enough, that's enough. These days, Cao Xiang has become a popular person, with all kinds of people, three religions and nine schools. They have banquets every day. For no reason, he is responsible for selling the houses in the arms shop.
That's a tight spot.
At this time, Zhao Xi was taking Su Song and Li Jie for a walk along the Cai River with the planning map Li Jie had prepared.
Finally the foundation stone can be laid and construction can begin.
