The main government offices of the imperial court were moved behind the Qinzheng Hall. There were too many public houses to spare, but they still formed a large public house next to each other.
At this time, it was surrounded, just like when Qinzheng Hall was built. The officials were carrying out large-scale construction again.
However, this time, the entire court was silent, and no one said a word.
Everyone knows that Gongfang City has made a lot of money, and everyone knows that the money in Gongfang City belongs to the government, but there is no reason to transfer it to the imperial court.
At this time, the government was carrying out large-scale construction projects, which was exactly what the courtiers expected.
When an official builds a palace, everything from bricks to wood, from paint to tung oil needs to be purchased, and every transaction generates taxes...~With no way to transfer this large amount of money to the court, the official spends
It's best if you drop it.
"Third brother, the Empress Dowager's Ciming Palace has also been in disrepair for many years..."
Tao Niang was still a little embarrassed when she said this.
Zhao Xi understood that he wanted to repair the inner garden. When the Qinzheng Palace was built last time, Tao Niang said this. However, Zhao Xi wanted to trick the courtiers and those who were looking for trouble, but Zhao Xi did not agree.
This time...~
"Xiaoqin, where is the money and food...~"
"Third brother, Xiaoqin's side is enough. We don't even need to use the internal treasury."
Tao Niang was still worried about causing trouble with the officials, especially the courtiers.
I remember that during the late emperor's time, he had to build a garden, but he was stopped by the courtiers. The half-finished garden is still abandoned to this day.
Therefore, even if she now has the idea to repair the inner garden and build a few gardens that can be played, Tao Niang still thinks of trying not to use the money in the inner treasury to save the courtiers from complaining.
Over the years, the income from my own properties has been enough to renovate the entire palace, not to mention repairing the inner garden and building a garden.
Zhao Qin said more than once that there was too much money.
"Then let's fix it...~"
Is this rich? Zhao Xi is not sure, but the royal family is definitely quite rich now.
Since he was a boy, almost all of the country's hot industries are related to him. It is not surprising that the royal family is so wealthy.
Even the palace maids and eunuchs have begun to receive salaries, which shows that the royal family is indeed wealthy.
Money is money when you spend it, but it's just a number if you leave it alone.
Nowadays, the expenses of the inner garden are not large. After Zhao Xi came to the throne, his father had gathered successive maids, and Zhao Xi allowed them to choose their own careers.
At this time, there were many more workshops suitable for women to work in Workshop City than there were maids in the palace.
Originally, Zhao Xi thought that after he ascended the throne, the courtiers would try their best to transfer the property under his name to the court. After all, there is a saying that the Tian family has no selfish interests.
Zhao Xi is also ready for this.
As a result, until I moved Neiyuan's workshop to Workshop City, the income should be Neiyuan's or Neiyuan's.
It seems that the courtiers are not stupid and have no intention of falling into the trap.
This is something that affects the whole body. No one is going to poke this hornet's nest.
All of Zhao Xi's properties are not owned by the royal family or by himself alone. Each property is related to the courtiers. In the early years, when Zhao Xi made the contract, he had already set up a trap of advancing and retreating together, just waiting for someone like that.
for one day……
By now, it is no longer simply a huge industry, but also a huge number of interest relationships.
This also resulted in the wealthy inner garden today.
There was also a lot of construction work in the inner garden. Except for a few scattered memorials of accusations that Zhao Xi ignored, they did not cause much turmoil.
Also, the prime minister of the country has the right to check the inner treasury. Since the inner treasury has not been touched, it means that the officials are consuming the money and food of Gongfang City, so no one will talk nonsense.
As for the fact that the imperial court should not carry out large-scale construction during the war, no one took it seriously even if Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had learned from the past.
It is estimated that no matter what thoughts the courtiers have, they are all paying attention to the war ahead, and only the war ahead has a result. Whether it is a cessation of activities or large-scale accusations against the husband and officials, the outcome of the battle will determine the outcome.
Zhao Xi is not worried about the war. If famous generals like Guo Kui and Zhong E lead a new army armed to the teeth and cannot defeat Si Luo, they should go to heaven with a gunpowder bomb.
What's more, most of the captains of the Western Army returned after receiving training in the martial arts hall. They have proficiency in firearms combat and too many battle case analyses, including an understanding of the terrain. There were no surprises in this battle, and there should not be.
Accident.
But it is uncertain for the courtiers. Some good people have analyzed the reasons why the officials won several battles, and they almost all won by surprise.
Whether it was the first southern expedition or the battle with Xixia that seemed to want a head-on confrontation. A victory was a victory, but a careful analysis of these two battles revealed that the planning component was far greater than the confrontation between warriors on both sides.
All warriors win with the right combination and strange tactics. The two great victories of the officials, after all, were won by the advantage of firearms and cunning strategies.
But this time, without the strategic leadership of the official family, because it was a local war, and the court did not send any other important ministers who could coordinate the Huanqing and Huichuan armies, the battle was still fought in a narrow strip from Lanzhou to Miaochuan City, and the outcome was unpredictable.
This is what most people know.
The dynasty relied on civil servants to control military affairs. This time, the civil official at the front was Wang Shao. With Wang Shao's qualifications, it would be difficult to comprehensively suppress famous generals like Guo Kui and Zhong E.
It is not difficult to see that this was done deliberately by the imperial court. Under the entangled mind of fear of failure and hope of failure, there was such a strange combination of civil, military, ministers and workers in front of them.
There are already signs of officials being adept at martial arts, or it could be said that they have always been thinking like this.
After two major wars, as well as the benefits brought to the country by the conquest of Annan and the Dali plan, the court already had a trend of strengthening military armaments. This is not a good phenomenon.
Therefore, subconsciously, many people should hope that this battle is defeated, so as to pour some cold water on the government.
A war does not start just because it starts. Although the logistics between China and North Korea have been greatly improved, there is still a lot of work to be done in the early stage.
Even the Miaochuan City side also needs to summon warriors... It seems that both sides have discussed and made preparations.
According to the report from the front, Wang Shao, Guo Kui and Zhong'e have already assembled their army and set off. With a marching speed of thirty to fifty miles per day, the army should have arrived at Jingyuguan by the time the report was received in the court.
Going west from Jingyuguan, you will enter the canyon area... It is said to be a canyon, but in fact it is far away from the mountains on the left and right.
This should be an encounter, and the two sides will fight in the middle from Lanzhou to Miaochuan.
Zhao Xi looked at the map and thought about his memory of driving westward...~
There are chariots, gunpowder bombs, improved eight-oxen crossbows, abundant logistical supplies, well-trained, and heroic Western troops. There should be no surprises in this battle...
This battle is a battle that gives Wang Shao a sense of He Huang's confidence. If he wins, everything will be easy. If he loses, not only will Wang Shao and Ping Rong be delayed indefinitely, but the direction of the court will also change.
At this time, Zhao Xi understood his father very well. He was familiar with the military strategy. This was another local small battle, even under such circumstances. When his father woke up from his deep sleep, it was inevitable that he would not think about food and drink.
