Ningguo Jingdu Jade Capital.

Live quietly.

Although the night was quiet, there was no wind, and there was a sultry smell in the air.

Right by the lotus pond.

In the pavilion on the lotus pond.

Wen Boyu shook a cattail leaf fan and Nian Chengfeng enjoyed the coolness here.

Many lotus flowers in the lotus pond have bloomed, and they look particularly beautiful under the soft light of lanterns.

Nian Chengfeng did not look at the lotus flowers at this moment, but looked at Wen Boiyu.

The look on his face was quite anxious, but Wen Boyu's face remained calm and indifferent.

"Sometimes I admire your ability to cultivate Qi!"

Nian Chengfeng stood up and stood by the fence. Then he looked at the lotus flowers and said:

"Has the Wu army captured the Yudan River Plain now?"

"Has the Red Flame Army arrived at the Yudan River Plain now?"

"The death of the regent has caused a blow to the confidence of businessmen. How can we restore it?"

"It's already halfway through this year, but how much tax money can the Ministry of Revenue collect this year?"

After Nian Chengfeng asked four questions in succession, he turned around, looked at Wen Boiyu who was still shaking his fan, and asked again:

"There are only more than two months left before Autumn, and more and more students are arriving in Kyoto. Why not let them go to Changle Palace?"

"In addition, Yu Wenfeng has sent a letter of credence, a letter of credence! He will hold a coronation ceremony next spring and invites us, Emperor Ning, to attend..."

"Our emperor will arrive in Kyoto in ten days. This enthronement should have been planned long ago... Why did you let the Ministry of Rites delay?"

Wen Boyu was listening.

Waiting for Nian Chengfeng to ask all the questions, he suddenly smiled: "Old man, my back hurts when I sit, sit or stand!"

Nian Chengfeng got angry when he saw Wen Boiyu's smiling face, "I don't have back pain right now!"

Wen Boyu shook his fan and his eyes lit up: "Is it because of kidney pain?"

"Just like Su Yian, it has only been a few days since his wife came to Kyoto?"

"I held my waist when I went to court!"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this guy, I thought he had become devoid of desire after teaching at Sanwei Bookstore for so many years..."

Wen Boyu was interrupted by Nian Chengfeng before he finished speaking:

"Let's talk about business!"

"If you don't give me the answer today, I will give up my job!"

Wen Boyu shook the fan much slower.

He looked at the dark night sky, pondered for a moment and then said leisurely:

"If the eldest son's enthronement ceremony is done according to the etiquette rules, it will require a lot of money!"

"Today, Li Wenhou showed me the account books of the Ministry of Accounts and saw that the surplus was only a million taels, so he was stretched thin!"

"In addition, the eldest son of the emperor is deaf and mute."

"Just think about it, at the enthronement ceremony, he couldn't recite the rites of worship to heaven, nor could he say words of hope and encouragement to the officials."

"We can't hold a silent coronation ceremony."

"Instead of doing this, it is better to waive a few rules, which not only saves a lot of money, but also avoids the embarrassment when the new emperor ascends the throne."

"Since he can't speak, it would be better for him to just sit on the throne in silence and be an emperor quietly. I think it would be better."

After a pause, Wen Boiyu also stood up, walked out of the pavilion in two steps, and stood on the nine-curved corridor.

"As for the war at Wuya Pass, Yan Jidao will definitely go all out for his Yan Mansion. As for the outcome...at worst, the Yudan River will be used as the boundary for the time being."

"wait!"

"After the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will issue a decree to calm the people and tell the people of Ning that the policy of the regent during his lifetime will not change."

"Wait for Ningguo to recuperate for a few years."

"As for Changle Palace, that place is an empty city. The regent's intention during his lifetime was... to sell the house in Changle Palace!"

"He said that if he wants to sell the houses in Changle Palace, he must make Changle Palace prosperous. Only in this way will a large number of wealthy people take the initiative to buy."

Nian Chengfeng was shocked, his old eyes widened, "Selling the house?"

"How to make Changle Palace extremely prosperous?"

Wen Boyu stroked his short beard, smiled, and said three words: "Move to the imperial palace!"

Nian Chengfeng was shocked!

"Move the imperial palace to Changle Palace?"

"Yes, although Changle Palace is much smaller than Yujing City, Changle Palace is also equipped with all the necessary requirements. It also has a majestic palace!"

Nian Chengfeng was stunned, and after a moment he said:

"It takes a lot of time to move the palace, and it also requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources!"

"The Autumn Festival will be held soon. Even if we start moving now, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Wen Boyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not about moving now, I just want to spread the news!"

"The regent said that after the news is spread, it is estimated that not only the merchants in Yujing City will go to Changle Palace to buy houses, but also all the wealthy people in Ningguo will go to Changle Palace."

"The new capital!"

"Living in Changle City, closer to the palace, will better demonstrate their identity."

"No, the emperor's eldest son is about to arrive in Kyoto. After the emperor's eldest son rests in Kyoto for two days, he will send the emperor's eldest son to Changle Palace!"

"In this way, the news can be confirmed. Just wait and see, people who go to Changle Palace to buy houses will have passed the threshold of the House Sales Department that will be established by the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

Can such an operation still be possible?

Nian Chengfeng couldn't believe it, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt it was very possible.

Rich businessmen care more about their social status.

Now the streets and alleys of Yujing City are full of people, and the business circle of Yujing City has also been formed.

It is extremely difficult for outside businessmen to get in.

But Changle Palace is a new place. If it becomes the political center of Ningguo, then living in Changle Palace means being closer to the political center and to the high-ranking officials in the temple.

Once you have your own house in Changle Palace, you can interact with the merchants in Changle Palace, thus joining this circle and forming a new business circle.

This is a great opportunity for many business people!

It is foreseeable that Changle Palace will be more prosperous than Yujing City in the future.

As for the size of the city, it doesn't matter.

As long as capital pours in, Changle Palace is located on Qishuiyuan under Dongshan Mountain. Qishuiyuan is very vast, and it has an excellent geographical advantage to expand Changle Palace.

It is even possible that in the future, Changle Palace and Yujing City will be connected and become a huge majestic city.

This move will alleviate the shortage of silver in the household department and may allow Ningguo to survive the most difficult two years.

Wen Boyu shook his fan and said:

"The regent set the autumn palace in Changle Palace in order to create the cultural atmosphere of Changle Palace."

"The regent said that after taking back the emperor's eldest son, he would invite the emperor's eldest son to ascend the throne as emperor in Changle Palace. This is to create the political atmosphere of Changle Palace."

"Let's spread some more news. Businessmen have the keenest sense of smell. Old man, don't worry. The regent has already made these arrangements in advance. We just have to implement his plan."

Nian Chengfeng nodded slightly, "What about Yu Wenfeng's ascension to the throne...?"

Wen Boyu smiled and said: "Since the eldest son of the emperor is coming back soon, it is best for him to go."

After saying this, Wen Boyu looked up at the dark night sky again, "Marquis Dingguo has returned to Kyoto. I want to go to the Marquis Dingguo's mansion tomorrow to sit down. Can we invite Su Yian to go with us?"

"What are you going to do?"

"How about asking this old marquis to be our Ningguo's general?"
