This wedding ceremony lasted for two days. Finally, Xiao Yuan also summoned officials from various places and ordered them to return to their jurisdiction quickly and not stay in Qinzhou again.
A place cannot be without officials.
After all these people left Qinzhou, on this day, Shangguan Wenruo reported that he had already made plans for the location of the palace and asked Xiao Yuan to make a decision.
This was also a big event. After receiving the news, Xiao Yuan took a group of people to their destination.
This is a wilderness outside Qinzhou City, not far from the city wall.
When Xiao Yuan arrived here, from a distance, he saw Shangguan Wenruo gesticulating with a middle-aged man, probably discussing the area and general plan of the palace.
When he approached, Shangguan Wenruo learned about it and immediately stopped talking, walked over quickly, saluted and said, "My lord."
Xiao Yuan waved his hand to signal him to excuse himself, then glanced at the surroundings and said, "Is this the address of the palace you mentioned?"
"Back to my lord, when it comes to choosing a location, I looked at many places and searched for a long time. But when I looked back, I found that this place is where the king's aura lies." Shangguan Wenruo said.
"Oh?" He said so mysteriously that Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at him funny.
The latter began to point to the open space in front of him and explained: "Look, my lord, this place is surrounded by dangerous mountains in the north and has plains in the south. Qinzhou is also an important military area and political center. And judging from the general situation, the tiger is on the dragon's side, and the situation is majestic." , which is good feng shui."
Liu Yuzhi once said that Shangguan Wenruo understood astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. He understood these things. There is nothing surprising in his remarks.
To be honest, Xiao Yuan didn't understand this, but he still looked around and said: "Qinzhou City is next to it. What do you mean, demolish the current city wall and use the palace as the center of Qinzhou?"
"Exactly." Shangguan Wenruo said: "From Qinzhou to the east, you can overlook the Central Plains and the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers. If you retreat, you can reach the three rivers. It is enough to rule the world and become the capital of the king. And the lord must be in the middle to accept the four directions, no matter how he manages it. Qin and Shu are still going east to fight for hegemony, and the place to stay must be here."
He said it seriously. Xiao Yuan nodded slowly when he heard what he said: "Okay, as you said, how do you plan to build it?"
"I don't know much about construction, but I have hired talents in this field for my lord."
As he spoke, Shangguan Wenruo introduced the middle-aged man behind him to Xiao Yuan and said: "My lord, this man's name is Mo Ziyu. His ancestors are all top craftsmen, and there are many royal palaces in the world with the help of his ancestors."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan understood that this should be similar to the top architect at that time. He smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "There is Mr. Lao Mo."
"No, sir, you are too polite." Mo Ziyu also smiled and bowed, and then explained:
"According to the regulations of the capital, there should be three gates on the side, nine longitudes and nine latitudes in the middle of the country, nine rails in the meridian, the ancestors on the left and the community on the right, and the market in the front and the back."
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan said with some embarrassment: "Sir, is this too big?"
This is to build a royal palace, not a civilian residence. Perhaps because he did not expect Lord Qin to say this, Mo Ziyu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Excellency, I don't know. The royal palace represents the supreme majesty of the king and must be strictly regulated. "
"Okay." Xiao Yuan said helplessly, and asked curiously: "How much is the specific area?"
"Well..." Mo Ziyu pondered for a moment: "After discussing with Lord Shangguan, I think that more than 600 acres of land is the best. Of course, this still needs to be decided by your Lordship."
"What!?" Xiao Yuan was shocked after hearing this. He couldn't help but stare and said: "This is too big! No, no, no! How can I have so much money in Qin!"
He was waving his hands repeatedly, and his appearance was very stingy.
600 acres, in current units, is equivalent to more than 400,000 square meters today.
Seeing his appearance, Mo Ziyu couldn't help but look at Shangguan Wenruo, and said: "Sir, looking at the royal palaces of various countries, especially the Jin Palace, the land area alone amounts to 980 acres, and the palaces are even more numerous. There are more than sixty of them, towering and majestic, the best in the world."
"What's the use of that?" Xiao Yuan said immediately: "The Jin Palace is the Jin Palace, and the King of Jin is the King of Jin. People have money and can spend it as they please, but we are poor and cannot waste our people and money like this. In my opinion, it is only 200 acres. It couldn’t be better.”
As he spoke, he looked at Mo Ziyu and said, "With 200 acres, is it possible for Sir to complete the palace scale?"
"This..." Mo Ziyu looked weird and didn't know what to say.
When Shangguan Wenruo saw this, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "My lord, from what I see, it's only four to five hundred acres, right?"
"No, I have no money, just 200 acres." Xiao Yuan said simply.
"Then... 400 acres?" Shangguan Wenruo asked tentatively again.
"No, no."
"My lord, this is the royal city, so let's go to the 300-acre head office."
"This... okay, just 300 acres."
This is the construction of a royal palace. It was originally the place where Xiao Yuan discussed politics and lived, but now he is bargaining.
Shangguan Wenruo was helpless. After the incident, he pointed to a place and said, "Please take a look, my lord. When the palace is completed, this place will become the main street and the market center."
Wherever the capital is, it is naturally the political and economic center. There is nothing to say about this. Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard this.
At this moment, Ye Cheng hurried over, clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, two envoys are here."
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look back.
Sure enough, Cai Yan and Cheng Ping were heading this way under the guidance of Liu Yuzhi.
After the two parties met, Cai Yan also bowed his hand and said, "I was going to say goodbye, but I heard that Lord Qin was here, so I asked Master Liu to bring him over. If there is any disturbance, Lord Qin will forgive me."
"What's wrong? You're so polite," Xiao Yuan said with a smile at first, and then said, "What? Mr. Cai is leaving? If you don't stay a few more days, I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
"No, no, I'm flattered by the Lord Qin's hospitality. It's better to return home as soon as possible and return to my king if I can't stay long." Cai Yan said politely.
With his words, Xiao Yuan couldn't force him to stay, so he was polite to Cheng Ping, who also came to say goodbye.
Afterwards, Cai Yan looked at the field again and said curiously: "I heard that Qin wants to found a country. Is this building a palace?"
"This..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment.
Cai Yan added: "If Qin wants to be the prime minister, please inform Huiliang. By then, our country will definitely go to watch the ceremony."
"The same applies to Lingguo. I hope to be forever friendly with Qin." Cheng Ping followed.
"Haha, easy to say, definitely, definitely."
Xiao Yuan looked smiling. Logically speaking, he was only the Lord of Qin now, but the attitudes between the two countries were extremely friendly, which surprised him deeply.
