There are four rivers flowing through Bianjing City, the Cai River to the south, the Bian River to the north, the Jinshui River in the middle, and the Wuzhang River to the north.

Trades on these four rivers are endless, among which the Bian River is the most important. The magnificent river on the River During the Qingming Festival is this Bian River.

There are tens of thousands of merchants and workers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, which is the lifeline of Bianjing City.

The wood, paint and various stone carvings used to build the palace can only be transported to the palace through this Bian River. The towering trees cannot be delivered to the palace within three months by carriages or manpower.

Ding Wei, the chief commander of reconstruction, quickly summoned his capable general, deputy commander Lei Yungong, to be responsible for engineering design. Lei Yungong was born in the Ministry of Works after all, and if no professional staff presided over the project, the project would not be completed.

Xia Shouen was inspected in front of the engineering security supervisor. Xia Shouen was a close confidant who had followed the officials before they arrived at Dabao. He was also known as Qiandi's close relatives. He was a powerful force among military generals and was considered to be the guardian of the government.

At that time, the eight halls will be rebuilt, and even the imperial gate and the imperial wall will be demolished. At this time, I did not have the ability to keep in charge, but I was afraid that the officials would not sleep well.

The contractor Xu Yin and the tens of thousands of craftsmen under him, not only Xu Yin, but also Wang Lin, as well as several small contractors of all sizes. They all gave Lei Yungong a lot of benefits, and Lei Yungong tried his best to recommend the errand to Ding Wei.

The court will recruit a large number of craftsmen and migrant workers at that time. This amount is not a small amount. A craftsman is a few hundred yuan a day, and ten thousand people will get ten thousand yuan a day.

This is just the number of craftsmen under Xu Yin, who are all under the command of the contractors. The total number of migrant workers who eat under their ranks is nearly 100,000, and the expenses of these people are 100,000 yuan a day.

The wages are still small. What is really valuable is the procurement of various building materials. This is the place where there is a lot of oil and water. A golden nanmu that can make the beams and pillars of the hall is worth more than one million chunks, and it is priceless and has to be transported from the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains and then transported to the Bian River by water.

At least half of the million-dollar penthouses were put into the pockets of these contractors, and the contractor took the money and then bribed them. A chain of interests was formed.

After doing this royal-level project, I would be sorry for the favors I spent without making tens of millions of yuan. There are also various ways to clear and clear the favors I spent.

As soon as Ding Wei's plan was announced, all the people on the north bank of the Bian River were worried, for nothing else, because once the river route was temporarily dug through his own territory, the land would be drawn out, not only demolished houses but also dug the land. Whether the government has subsidies is still the same. People are afraid that business will not be necessary in the past or two years.

The general method of the new river channel is to choose a water diversion point east of Yu Street in the middle of Bianjing City and west of Maxing Street. This not only requires a wide water area to facilitate bulk goods to come in, but also save time and land.

Imperial Street is a place where officials walk, and no one has the courage to move. In addition, the goods must be transported near Donghuamen, so they can only choose the direction close to the east in the city.

The shops on Bianhe Street tried their best to use all their connections to visit Lei Yungong's house, hoping that the chief designer would be able to give up their hands. The temporary river channel of Bianhe should not choose near their own shops.

Lei Yungong has always been very principled. He will never do anything if the money is in place. If the money is in place, it will naturally be easier to handle. He listed all the shops on Bianhe Street, and then took the seats in the seats. He wrote down any gifts from the door.

After receiving a circle of gifts and money, Lei Yungong suddenly discovered that all the people and shops on the streets of Maxing Street had given gifts.

This is not easy to deal with, so Lei Yungong arranged the value of the gifts he gave from low to high, so that the shop with the least gifts was clear at a glance. Naturally, it was different to collect money and do business, how much money or how much money it costs. The location was gloriously placed on the store where the lightest gifts were given.

This shop was originally an inn, which occupied a large area, and was located at the intersection of Bianhe Street and Maxing Street. A discerning person saw that this location was a big bend if a boat coming from the west was just around a big bend, and the west was the direction of the bulk timber, which would be extremely troublesome to transport it at that time.

Lei Yungong doesn’t care about these things. If you are troublesome, just work harder. If you don’t collect money, wouldn’t you lose the sign?

As for Ding Wei, he couldn't understand it at all. Lei Yungong said the location advantage of this location was so magnificent that he heard it. He reported the location roughly.

The imperial court, Prime Minister Lu Yijian, was about to retire because of the construction of the new palace. Even if the prime minister said he would leave, who would want to cause trouble?

Ding Wei is now the commander-in-chief. Whatever he says is what he says. Anyway, if it is not completed, it is Lord Ding who takes the blame. What is his own cause? When the Empress Dowager shouted in front of him to find a candidate for the commander, wouldn’t it be annoying to jump out now?

The final route was decided, from the intersection of Bianhe Street and Maxing Street to outside Donghuamen, a straight line. All buildings along the way, whether for official or private use, will be forcibly demolished, and the money will be compensated according to the size of the house.

It is said that compensation is no different from forced demolition, but it means giving money. Xia Shouen took a group of imperial guards to distribute the demolition money from one house. After the house was distributed, the seal was immediately placed, and then one or two soldiers were allowed to guard the door. If someone dared to seal the seal, he could kill him on the spot.

Everything at the moment has to make way for the new house of the official family!

The ones that follow the line plan are all great houses, some are the houses of princes and high-ranking officials. When they see Xia Shouen's relatives, they have tears and no place to cry. Some even say they want to go to the empress dowager to file a lawsuit, but Xia Shouen sneered and ridiculed him. This job is handed over to him by the empress dowager. Does the empress dowager not want to live in a new house?

The movement and relocation work was carried out with extremely high efficiency under the coercion of a group of big-headed soldiers. Xia Shouen came to the door with courtesy and then the soldiers. After mobilizing, he would illuminate the weapons. Once the shaking sword was pulled out, anyone would become weak.

This is the imperial guards in front of the government. The most common thing they do is to take action first and then report. Where can I make any decisions with them? And who is the power of this man in front of me? Isn't it the official family? They followed the government family from the beginning. At the very least, the government can pay a few more money and really kill the general of his secret residence for a civilian?

As soon as the big head soldier finished the seal, Xu Yin and Wang Jianlin and several craftsmen under the contractor rushed up like locusts, quickly dismantling the buildings at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Unlike modern buildings, ancient buildings are filled with steel and cement. They are easy to build, but they cannot achieve high efficiency without the help of heavy machinery. Several workers may not be able to completely remove a cement column in a day, if they are simply knocked with a sledgehammer.

Houses with civil and brick structures are different. All the tiles are demolished in a while, and then the beams are unloaded and the bricks are knocked off one by one. In a day, a two- or three-story building disappears on the spot.

As the saying goes, ideals are beautiful, but reality is skinny. The efficiency of craftsmen is too high, and half a street has already reached the bottom. These houses have demolished a large amount of scraps, such as tiles, blue bricks and beams, and many of them are good old materials. It is easier to use than new materials after a little treatment. How to deal with these things has become a problem.

It is impossible to use these things to repair the palace. Even the storage of these "waste materials" has become a problem. Lei Yungong immediately reported this problem to Ding Wei. He was responsible for implementing it. Of course, he did not think of a way to solve the problem. The sky fell and it was naturally a high position to stand up.

That afternoon, Liang Chuan and Sun Houpu were looking for a suitable address to open a store on the street. The two walked from the north to the south of Maxing Street. The land in each store was worth every inch. When asked if there was any intention of transfer, they all looked at them like fools. This place can make money by selling water in a stall. Who would be so stupid to slaughter the chicken that laid the golden eggs so much?

Unless there is a person who encounters a change at home or is desperate for gambling debts, how many such people are there?

The Liangchuan store was not found, but Ding Wei called it back to the mansion.

Lei Yungong was sitting next to Ding Wei. The two of them looked unhappy. Lei Yungong was a little better. Ding Wei, who had always been steady, had a look of worry on his face. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liang Chuan coming.

Liang Chuan entered the house and bowed to the two of them, and said to Ding Wei: "Is there something urgent to do in Ding Xiang?"

Ding Wei asked a little unhappily: "Your figure is not seen in the mansion? Where have you been?"

Liang Chuan said: "When he returned to Ding Xiang, the villain wanted to do some small business, so he went to the street to find a Feng Shui treasure land, but after walking for a long time, he couldn't find Xinyi place..."

Ding Wei interrupted him impatiently and asked: "The new river channel has not been excavated yet, and there is no place for the waste materials from those houses to be placed. I have calculated it. If the cargo ships from the Bian River are mobilized at this time, it will take a lot of time. The construction period may be extended. Sanlang's original minister wants to hear your opinion now!"

Ding Wei's tone is very tough today, and Ding Wei is not the first to discuss things with Liang Chuan, but it is definitely the first time to use such a tough tone.

Once the plan to repair the palace was implemented, there would be no turning back when the bow was opened. Ding Wei couldn't help but get angry. He also knew that this project not only allowed Lu Yijian to make way for him, but if he didn't walk steadily, he would be the lesson of the past!

Liang Chuan looked down at Lei Yungong first. He wanted to know if this was a deliberate report. This matter was not a problem at all, but it would be different if Ding Wei was interested in setting questions to test his own taste.
