The next day, Xia Xun and Xiao Jingtang had a long talk, after knowing the grievances between Yang Xu's father and son and the family, Xia Xun became more confident, and he began to tell Xiao Steward about his plans: "Uncle Xiao, I have been in Qingzhou in the past few years, and my business has been booming, on the one hand, Uncle Xiao, you have a good business, and on the other hand, it is also because we are close to the big tree of King Qi."
But there are advantages and disadvantages to such a powerful person in the side, in order to raise funds to build the palace, the prince of Qi is now starting to take risks, he is the prince, and no one can do anything to him if something happens, and at that time, we will become scapegoats.
We have a big business now, and we can't take this risk.
Besides, I plan to stay in my hometown after I get married, and our family's old house can't be abandoned there forever.
We have to go back, what should the King of Qi do It is not easy to climb this big tree, and it is not easy to leave it.
I have already told the prince that it will take a few months to go back and forth to Beiping, and it will take a few months to go back to my hometown to get married, and with the permission of the prince, I can find someone to help me take care of his business.
I want to take this opportunity to move all our major industries and funds back to Jiangnan, and slowly distance ourselves from King Qi. ” Xiao Jingtang is a down-to-earth businessman, when Yang Wenxuan was eager to take the road of King Qi, he felt that it was inappropriate, he had advised Yang Xu, and now when he heard Xia Xun say this, Xiao Jingtang couldn't help but be overjoyed: "No wonder people say that a man is like a man when he becomes a parent, look at my young master, he is just planning to get married, and his ideas are much more solid and stable than before." ” Xiao Jingtang praised repeatedly, the master and servant planned for a while, and then they began to act, some of the Yang family's current accounts began to be cleaned up, and some properties that did not lose money or make money began to be sold publicly.
Lin Bei Xia Lin, the shopkeeper of Lin Yang Pawnshop, was very happy, because that Yang Wenxuan was so kind that he was willing to let him redeem the shares now held by Yang Wenxuan and withdraw from the operation of Lin Yang Pawnshop.
Under the excitement of the shopkeeper Lin, he drank half a jar of wine, ran to the ancestral ancestral hall and knelt down for half a night crying and laughing, and happily collected money the next day.
The most profitable shops in the industry that originally belonged to Yang Wenxuan's name could not be sold in ordinary ways, no matter how loyal Yang Wenxuan was, there was no reason to sell all his properties to collect the money for King Qi to trade in Beiping, and although the money was huge, it would not make Yang Wenxuan bankrupt.
If there is such a big fanfare, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, but what is the proper way to send these hot potatoes out, the two of them have been thinking for a long time, but they have not come up with a way.
This afternoon, Xia Xun was sitting in the study racking his brains thinking about how to give his main industry to others with a reasonable reason, and suddenly someone came to report that a large number of stones were transported from the stone unloading shed, and asked the owner to hand over to the palace, Xia Xun had to put aside his mind for the time being, and rushed to the Xinqi palace with Peng Ziqi and Xiao Yu.
Recently, what has been the most eye-catching in Qingzhou City It is not that Feng Jianxiao of the state capital Yamen died of a violent illness from colic, nor is it Yang Wenxuan, the eldest young master of the Golden King, who decided to return to his ancestral hometown to get married in the spring of next year, and it is not that Miss Miaoyi, the young owner of the Shengchun Tang Pharmacy, is ready to recruit a guest.
Feng Jianxiao died violently, and it was only his landlord who wanted to cry without tears and a few colleagues in the state capital who were sad; Yang Wenxuan wants to get married, and only Miss Miaoyi is lost, and there are some ladies who have emotional entanglements with him, but they have not dared to take the initiative to contact him, so they have not surfaced until now; And Miss Sun Miaoyi came to the door, and the only people she cared about the most were the shopkeepers and guys of the Sun family.
The shopkeeper and the guys of the Sun family have secretly set up a bet, betting on whether Miss will have a son after getting married, changing the fate of the Sun family's two consecutive generations of hens Si Chen and recruiting sons-in-law.
So, Geng Yuanwai was secretly ridiculed by the people in his house again, Geng Xin was not ignorant of these things, and the sudden killing intent in his heart was even stronger.
He wants to take revenge on the humiliation that the Sun family has given him over the years, and he wants to be a man with his eyebrows raised Once the idea of committing a crime sprouts, it is like a seed full of vitality that quickly takes root and grows.
For the entire Qingzhou, the most eye-catching thing now is that Prince Qi repairs the house.
King Qi repaired the house, causing many people to demolish the house.
Of course, the house was not demolished, and those wealthy gentry did not know how much effort it took to run the house, once the house was razed to the ground, the loss could be imagined, and to pay the prince a sum of money, begging the prince to recruit a noble hand, this account is still compatible.
So the Qi Wangfu continued to build vigorously, the surrounding residents saw that the high-rise building, spending their money, their hearts were dripping blood, but the ordinary people of Qingzhou City were elated, the Qi Wangfu not only directly provided them with a large number of employment opportunities, provided a large amount of income to many industries in Qingzhou, and even the small business was followed by the light, and the new palace was full of vendors selling snacks and various supplies.
Xia Xun came to the location of the new palace, first met his own housekeeper, and then was busy with the palace to collect and inspect the goods, handover, and when these things were done, look at the palace that has begun to see the scale, Suo surnamed Peng Ziqi and Xiao Yu, wandering around.
In terms of architectural style, interior decoration and staffing, the palace is very similar to the palace in Yanjing City, but the scale is smaller and the capacity is smaller.
In the palace, there are the long history department, the trial office, the dining room, the worship office, the treasure office, the discipline and good office, the good doctor's office, the pawn office, the justice office, as well as the accompanying reading, professors, quotations, uniforms, worship, palace maids, internal supervisors, etc., all of which are readily available, so the wide area can be imagined.
However, King Qi is congenitally insufficient, no matter how he builds, the specifications and momentum of his palace cannot compete with the Yuan Palace of King Yan, so he tries to work the magnificence.
The entire Xinqi palace is planned to cover an area of 15 hectares, with more than 1,000 palaces and towers, and the scale is grand.
Now the palace has begun to take shape, the two four-pillar three-door archway type stone workshops on the road in front of the palace, that is, the people commonly known as the "noon dynasty gate" materials come from the Yang family's stone unloading shed stone factory, those carved stone pillars, stone platforms, stone workshops just arrived, and were commanded by the people of the Gongzheng Institute to build up the workers.
These two stone workshops are each composed of 28 boulders, the base is in the shape of Sumeru, divided into three layers, the lower layer is carved with the bottom pattern of the animal foot case and the lotus pattern, the middle layer is engraved with peony and lotus patterns, the upper layer is carved with the pattern of lion, unicorn, entwined branch peony, lotus, and the corner is engraved with the diamond lion pattern.
The stone pillar on the base is two zhang high, open-carved dragon, and the horizontal plaque at the top of the column is the relief of two dragons playing with pearl patterns.
On the horizontal plaque, the auspicious words such as "Leshan Legacy", "Xiangxian Yongyu", "Filial Piety and Generosity", and "Daya Buqun" are said to have specially gone to Hanzhong Mansion in Shaanxi Province to invite Fang Xiaoru, a professor of government studies, to give the inscription, and after taking it back, it was engraved on the stone plaque.
A stone workshop is so exquisite, you can imagine how huge the construction of the entire palace is.
Xia Xun stood outside the "Wu Dynasty Gate", watching the magnificent, exquisite and generous stone workshop was built, there happened to be Qingzhou Mansion officials Li Gong and Zeng Mingshen also standing there to watch the excitement, Li Gong said angrily: "The Qi Wangfu has been built for less than 20 years, which has cost the people to rebuild it, and I have not long established the Ming Dynasty, how many families can provide for the princes to squander so much."
Zeng Ming sighed deeply: "That's just it, the prince also cleverly set up a name, collected the people's wealth, and made the people's grievances boiling, but it's a pity that you and I are soft-spoken, and we can't go up to heaven to listen, and those officials who are qualified to write to the court only know how to protect themselves, otherwise, we must refer to him."
Li Gong snorted coldly: "How can it be that if it weren't for the emperor's permission, would King Qi dare to rebuild the palace?"
Zeng Jianshen smiled bitterly: "That's right, the emperor is diligent and thrifty, and has never been extravagant, with the respect of the Son of Heaven, the emperor's three meals are just a bowl of rice, two side dishes, and a head of garlic, and there is no delicacies from the mountains and seas."
I heard from a friend in Jinhua Mansion that last year they paid tribute to the emperor a bag of fragrant rice, and the emperor liked it very much, but the emperor was worried that listing this rice as tribute rice would disturb the local people, so he only ate one meal, and returned the bag of surplus rice to Jinhua, and only asked the magistrate of Jinhua to get some seeds, and the emperor took his chamberlain to open paddy fields in the royal garden and planted them for food.
The emperor is so strict with himself, he can be a model in the world, but how can he spoil the princes so much. ” The two little officials sighed, Xia Xun listened to it with a little weakness, although he didn't offer a plan, King Qi might not have done something ridiculous, this time the people who used the circle to extort money were also rich people, and it had no impact on the local ordinary people, but when he heard the two officials talking in person, he still had a sense of guilt as the initiator.
This time, he was in no mood to continue watching, so he hurriedly said hello to Peng Ziqi and Xiao Di, and left the palace construction site.
Turn right out of the front door, not far from the street is a slip of colorful shed stalls, selling snacks, selling clothes, selling all kinds of jewelry.
"It's so beautiful" As soon as he walked to a stall, Xiao Di's eyes lit up and he suddenly pounced.
This stall sells all the head and face ornaments of the daughter's family, and the small business naturally does not talk about any precious materials, so it is clever in the fancy colors, and the heads of those jewelry look very bright.
The grate is a hair cleansing tool used by both men and women, but for women, it also has another function, that is, it can be used as an ornament for hair, so the grate used by the female surname is renovated and has many styles.
Xiao Di saw this grate, made into a butterfly shape, very exquisite, at a glance lifelike, the grate on the shape of the butterfly to draw the pattern color, and the butterfly spread out the two wings are used to comb the hair, ingenious hands, people applauded.
But as soon as Xiao Di stretched out his hand, there happened to be a soft wattle as white as jade and as delicate as an orchid, and both hands touched the comb grate at the same time.
S: Well, I just came back, I checked and uploaded, and now I continue to code words, and I don't want to despise you even if I haven't voted yet To be continued:
