Kaifeng Prefecture has begun to sell the land next to Bianhe Street, and the people are talking about it.
Looking in from Donghua Gate, it is rare to see the scene in the Imperial City clearly. The construction in the Imperial City was completed quickly within a few months. The Donghua Gate is about to be sealed, which indicates that the project has entered the final stage.
The royal family has been majestic since ancient times. Where the officials live, the common people want to join in the fun. However, it seems that they are a bit bigger than the ordinary ones. Many palaces are old and have no royal style at all.
Out of sight is pure.
There are mountains of garbage outside Donghua Gate, but Queen Mother Liu doesn't care that the construction garbage outside is as high as a mountain. She just has a new palace to live in within the imperial city.
Behind closed doors, I live in peace and prosperity. What does the filth in the world have to do with me?
During the Song Dynasty, both Taizu and Taizong tightened their belts in order to fight the war. They did not dare to spend any money indiscriminately. Even the officials' own internal treasury would be used to pay the soldiers from time to time.
In the Zhenzong Dynasty, after fighting the Khitan people, Zhao Heng began to let himself go. Not only built the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, there were also several fires in the Zhenzong Dynasty, which burned down the palaces. After the burning, they rebuilt. Thanks to the high taxation and good financial situation of the Song Dynasty, and the face given by the Khitans, who did not come to harass them, they were able to withstand the torment of Zhao Heng and Zhao Zhen.
Otherwise, Guo Zuo of the Song Dynasty would have wasted all his money! What kind of palace should I build? I'm afraid the soldiers on the front line won't be able to get paid!
This series of palace progress was thanks to Ding Wei, a technical person. His overall coordination ability was really first-class. Looking at the entire Song Dynasty, there were not many officials who could compare with Ding Wei.
Officials have good official reputations, but their abilities are not as good as Ding's. Ding's official reputations are bad, but where are their abilities? Who in the court has the ability to build eight palaces in three months? Even the heavenly soldiers and generals may not be able to do it!
Officials are no different from thieves!
When things are done well, a commendation meeting will be held, rewards will begin, gold and silver will be distributed on a large scale, drinking wine and eating meat!
At the court meeting, Empress Dowager Liu highly praised Ding Wei's wit. He was worthy of being the best think tank of the Song Dynasty and a veteran of three dynasties. He did his best to share the worries of the officials and herself, and she was full of praise.
Zhao Zhen, on the other hand, said nothing, because the battle between Queen Guo and his beloved concubine for the harem disturbed him. He had not slept well for several nights, and naturally he had no intention of paying attention to Ding Wei's matter at the court meeting.
Everyone listened with open ears to the various praises given by Empress Dowager Liu. What they were concerned about was whether Ding Wei could be promoted to the position of Prime Minister. The Qingliu people were on the verge of taking precautions because they were afraid that Ding Wei's rise to power would be detrimental to them, while the Ding Party members were waiting eagerly. Counting on the chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.
Although Ding Zhaohua has burned a lot of fire behind Ding Wei's buttocks, Ding Wei's family affairs have been covered up very well, and all kinds of unfavorable news about him have not been heard yet, so if he can't rise again this time, what will happen to him? In the position of Prime Minister, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to make any great achievements in this life.
Queen Mother Liu has been dealing with these old foxes all her life, and now that she has become a hunter, she doesn't know what they want. But whatever they want, they must not give it too easily. This is the art of controlling people.
Ding said that he and she were comrades in arms back then, but their relationship may not be that good now. After all, the honeymoon period has long passed its shelf life.
In the face of interests, there are no permanent friends.
At the court meeting, Yang Chongxun, the backbone of the Ding Party, jumped out again: "For the Queen Mother, the post of Tongping Zhangshi has been vacant for a long time since Mr. Lu took office. Affairs in the court are busy, Li family's ambitions are clearly revealed in the northwest border, and the situation is unclear. Armed forces need to be prepared early." It is planned that the ministers in the court will have no leader, and I would like to ask Your Majesty the Queen Mother to appoint a new candidate!"
Yang Chongxun was a military commander, so it was understandable to make this request, but everyone knew that in the Zhenzong Dynasty, Yang Chongxun came to power by currying favor with Ding Wei, and by saying this, he was standing up for Ding Wei.
"Do you have a suitable candidate in your mind?"
This sentence is equivalent to asking in vain. This position of prime minister has always been appointed by officials. When can it be recommended by hundreds of officials?
The Song Dynasty strictly guarded against the power of military men, but it did not just let the literati Qingliu go. In view of the reasons for Li Tang's collapse, the Song Dynasty was also wary of the literati, fearing that these people would form cliques.
Therefore, no one with any brains will stand up at this time and say what position I think a certain person with both virtue and art is suitable for. In this case, death is not far away.
On the contrary, in order to achieve their own ulterior motives, civil servants often want to prevent someone from taking the recommended position. At this time, they will praise the person and recommend him highly.
You must know that what the officials want is not what everyone wants. If you do it this way, the officials will pay attention to those who are recommended by others.
Privy Councilor Qian Weiyin is about to retire, but Qian Weiyin is a loyal person.
"Wei ministers strongly recommended Ding, the political advisor, to be the prime minister. Ding said that he was resourceful and resourceful and had excellent governance. He would definitely be qualified for the post of prime minister."
Everyone saw that the old routine was about to happen again, and they all agreed: "I second the proposal!"
Ding Wei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Everyone was praising him!
"Wei Chen doesn't dare."
Empress Dowager Liu's pupils shrank suddenly, and she said slowly and calmly: "When the late Emperor was in the previous dynasty, I heard that Master Ding was very good at building Yuguan. This palace renovation did not disappoint me. Looking at the civil and military talents of the entire dynasty, Ding Qing To the right of him, the Ai family sees no one, and he deserves the post of Prime Minister."
Empress Dowager Liu spoke so lightly that it was like a thunder in the ears of all the officials.
What! This sudden surprise made Ding Wei feel a little dizzy and couldn't believe his ears. Did he get this right position just like that?
All the officials couldn't sit still. They originally wanted to say something sarcastic, but to their surprise, Queen Mother Liu thought that Ding Wei had built a new palace for her and really wanted to give her the position of Prime Minister!
Will the people of the world still have a way to survive if this traitor comes to power?
If you want peace in the world, you must remove the thorn in your side.
Although a folk proverb from the previous dynasty is a joke, who can guarantee that if Ding Wei takes the position where one person is inferior to ten thousand people, the world will suffer endless harm?
Everyone just said that they seconded the proposal, and now they immediately objected. Isn't this a slap in the face? Everyone in the court looked at each other. For a moment, everyone didn't know how this would end.
In particular, the leader Qian Weiyin originally had good intentions, but it turned out to be self-defeating. If Ding Wei came to power, he would be infamy for thousands of years.
Unexpectedly, the mature Empress Dowager Liu changed her tone and said: "But the Ai family has a more important task for Ding Aiqing. The address of the official mausoleum Qin Tian Jian has been selected, and the ground will be broken soon. This is a This important matter can only be handled by a capable person like Ding Aiqing!"
Ding Wei's burning energy was poured out by a basin of cold water, even though repairing the mausoleum was also the best opportunity to make a great contribution. . But didn’t he just accomplish a great achievement? This piece of cake looks like it's hanging from the rafters. If you're hungry, you can take a look at it to satisfy your cravings, but you've never eaten it.
It would have been a huge unlucky thing to build someone else's tomb while a person was still alive, and he would have been beaten in front of a living person, but this kind of thing was considered a first-class matter in the eyes of the emperor.
After almost every emperor came up, as long as nothing unexpected happened, this matter would be their top priority, unless they really had no time to deal with it.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, began to build his own Maoling Mausoleum as soon as he became emperor. He did not finish it until he was about to die, and it took decades to build it.
The imperial mausoleums of the Song Dynasty were all built very simply to avoid being targeted by tomb robbers. The people of the Song Dynasty advocated simplicity and opposed extravagance, so the mausoleums were not so labor-intensive. The tomb of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty is still lying in the wheat field a thousand years later. The stone statue is motionless. Tomb robbers rarely try to find the tomb of Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty because there is nothing inside.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty also asked the ministers in the court how to get peace after death. What he was afraid of were tomb robbers. The reason the officials told him was very simple. Don't put valuable things in tombs. No matter how long the years go by, no one will. Go ahead and bother!
At present, the construction of the mausoleum is definitely a great achievement.
But does Ding Wei still lack these great achievements? In terms of qualifications, he has long been qualified, and in terms of actual ability, no one can match him. In almost every aspect, Ding Wei thinks that he has reached the level that he deserves to be in a high position, but the only thing missing is this final kick!
Ding said that hate!
Now that the Queen Mother has spoken, Ding Wei will naturally not refuse. This matter is much less difficult than repairing the palace. It just takes a little longer. However, it will not take long for the craftsmen to be in place. It can be as long as one year or as short as half a year. , it should also be repairable.
"I accept the decree."
Liang Chuan's life has become much more leisurely since the construction site on Bianhe Street started. He doesn't take care of much of the affairs of Ding Fucheng. He is nominally in charge. However, since a series of things happened, Ding Wei also began to enshrine and support this great god. How dare you really let him interfere in your own family affairs?
Liang Chuan missed Liu Jinyan a little bit. Fairy Zixia never appeared again after we said goodbye on Yudao Street. She didn't leave an address at that time. He only asked her to come to him. If she didn't come, he would be even more helpless. Search for her everywhere.
Liang Chuan still doesn't know Liu Jinyan's true identity. What he thinks is that his situation is not very optimistic. Being too close to him is sometimes not a good thing.
With nothing to do, Liang Chuan has to start thinking about how to run his own urban complex.
First is the name.
His own chamber of commerce is called Wanda Chamber of Commerce. Although this name is inconspicuous in this world and just has a better meaning, a thousand years later this name will be known to the world. How many famous buildings in the world in the past and today can remain famous forever? The Yellow Crane Tower has become synonymous with cigarettes. The Yueyang Tower and Tengwang Pavilion are both located on the banks of famous mountains and rivers, adding beauty to each other. What name should I give to Bianjing City?
Not only the name of the building, but also the function of the building Liang Chuan also began to think about it.
The first floor is used as a restaurant for food and beverage reception.
Your own restaurant is different from other places, you have to make tricks to make it unique. I have chili on hand. Once this flavor comes out, I believe people will be obsessed with it.
The second floor is also a restaurant, but this is a VIP area, which provides tea from Sun Houpu's family. The tea is high-quality tea, sold in bundles, and the higher the price, the better! Of course, it is also a place to eat and drink, but the price is higher, the space is more independent, and it is specially designed to serve high-end people.
The third floor is starting to get a bit more restrictive. Liang Chuan on the third floor is going to be turned into a smoking room. The tobacco he has on hand will come in handy at this time. Once this kind of thing becomes a habit, it is difficult to quit. He is the only one in the world that sells tobacco. If you want to smoke, you can only buy it from yourself, there is no other place. The profits of the State Tobacco Bureau are not terrible. I never thought that I would be able to establish a tobacco bureau.
A stage will be set up here during the introduction, and various performances can be performed during meals. I have thought up the show myself, and it is guaranteed to bring excitement to the people of Bianjing City.
The fourth floor is quite special here. If the third floor is a place for men to smoke, the fourth floor is a health club dedicated to beauty care for female friends. The male guests stop here and the model is copied from heaven to earth!
If there is still room on the fifth floor, leave it empty first. It can be used as both a living area and an office area. Standing on the fifth floor and looking down at Bianjing City and feeling the hustle and bustle of the Bianhe River and the fireworks of the city must be great!
Liang Chuan did not study the design of this building in depth. In his opinion, as long as it is a building, it is good, and he did not dare to expect too much. He couldn't understand the drawings Lei Yungong gave him. He could only see that the outer building was quite heroic. Liang Chuan was completely shocked when the building went up.
This is not a building. This is clearly Lei Yungong's abuse of public power and the pretense of public benefit to enrich his own pockets and build a palace for him!
The main structure of the building is huge. In order to support this behemoth, Xu Yin's craftsmen worked hard and finally thought of using good granite to build a pedestal at the base. This way, there is no need to worry if the water level of the Bianhe River rises.
The building layout adopts three light and five dark floors. From the outside, it looks like a three-story building with a corridor, but inside it has five floors!
The roof tiles are all made of green glazed tiles produced in Yixing. There are two pavilions at both ends of the corridor. From the front, the two pavilions and the main pavilion form a mountain shape, like a Kunpeng with its wings spread out and aiming to reach the sky.
A building is decorated with Liang Fang's colorful paintings everywhere, and the outdoor brackets are highlighted in a bright red tone. The patterns are gorgeous and colorful, and the shadows of the pavilions and clouds are reflected on the Bian River, which is full of interest.
Live in this building. . You won't go over the limit. .
