Lu Chensheng originally proposed to let the emperor build a new imperial capital.

As long as the emperor is willing, Lu Chensheng can pay for the construction, and he can make a lot of money by then.

However, this proposal was rejected. In the opinion of some ministers, it was a waste of money and people, even if Lu Chensheng said that he would pay for it himself.

Lu Qiping and Lu Chensheng were talking about the resolution of the DPRK, while Lu Chensheng shook his head as he listened.

"A bunch of short-sighted guys."

"Why do you say that?"

Lu Qiping sounded a little strange and looked at Lu Chensheng with some confusion.

"If a new imperial capital is rebuilt, a large amount of manpower will be used. Countless people can find a good job. There will be a demand for a large amount of stone and wood, which will naturally increase the income of some people.

How can it be said that this is a waste of people and money?

What they call wasting money and wasting people is just that when they started construction, they only wanted to let the people contribute their efforts and money, but they never thought about paying the people."

Lu Qiping sounded a little dazed.

"So, wouldn't it cost a huge amount of money to build the imperial capital? Even if you have a lot of money, you won't be able to build it, right?"

Lu Chensheng raised his head and glanced at him. Before Lu Chensheng could speak, Chu Wu said with a puffed-up mouth.

"Young Master now has millions of silver to use, why is it not enough?"

Millions of silver?

A look of surprise flashed across Lu Qiping's face when he heard this. How could his grandson make money like this?

"Even if you have millions of dollars, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

How much land does an emperor occupy? A million silver is certainly a lot, but if you really start spending it, I'm afraid it won't be enough to cover the bottom line.

Therefore, none of the ministers felt that Lu Chensheng could really use his own money to build an imperial capital.

After much deliberation, Lu Chensheng can only do this by squeezing the people's wealth and squeezing the people, right?

After thinking about it carefully, even the emperor thought it was impossible.

When Chuwu heard the words, he opened his mouth slightly but stopped talking.

She didn't quite understand how much it would cost to build an imperial capital, but she just felt that one million was already a lot.

Lu Chensheng poured a cup of tea for Lu Qiping, "Not all of them require my investment. If you are willing, there are many rich people in the imperial capital."

"If someone has money, they can't give it to you."

Lu Qiping disagreed and shook his head directly.

"It's true that they won't give it to me, but the land in the imperial capital can be sold. If the emperor is willing to move the capital, I only need to sell some land close to the inner city, and those merchants will come to buy it.

Just like the areas in the imperial capital close to the inner city, which one of the houses, restaurants and shops in these places is not extremely expensive?

If I buy it in advance, I'm promised it will be a bit cheaper, and I can already get a lot of money before the city is built."

Lu Chensheng's face was calm and he spoke calmly from the side.

Lu Qiping opened his mouth slightly, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that what Lu Chensheng said seemed to be true.

If he really followed what he thought, even he, the Zhongshu Ling, would probably have to buy a lot.

Otherwise, you have to go to the morning court every morning. If you are far away, it will be extremely inconvenient to bump back and forth.

In this way, it seems that Lu Chensheng does not need much money to build the city. After all, there are many rich people outside.

Lu Qiping thought about it and suddenly felt that his grandson was definitely an expert at making money.

But it seems to have been proven that this grandson of his can indeed make money.

"If this matter were to be known to the emperor, I think he would have asked you to start building the city directly."

Lu Qiping thought for a while and said something to Lu Chensheng.

Even before the construction started, money had already started pouring into the pockets. Even the emperor would be moved.

What's more, the emperor is particularly short of money now.

"There is no need to let the emperor know."

Lu Chensheng shook his head. He was ready to stay for some time and then go back to his Taohuawu. He didn't want to worry about this anymore.

Although you can make a lot of money in this matter, it's not what Lu Chensheng wants.

What's more, if you want to build a new capital city, you have to rely on cement if you want to be efficient.

As a result, it is even more troublesome to build a calcined cement one.

Lu Qiping was startled when he heard this, and thought of Lu Chensheng's words about going back to Taohuawu.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "When are you ready to leave?"

"Just wait for a while."

Lu Chensheng thought for a while and replied, not in a hurry.

Lu Qiping breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and left after chatting with Lu Chensheng for a while.

Recently, the number of times Lu Qiping chatted with Lu Chensheng has increased a lot, probably because Lu Chensheng said he was leaving, which made Lu Qiping feel that the two of them might have never met each other.

"Young Master, the Second Prince has sent someone to invite you to have a talk."

Lu Qiping had just left when a maid hurried over and said something to Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, "Reject it."

It’s not like the second prince came in person, so he just refused.

"If you refuse like this, aren't you afraid that the Second Prince will think that you have defected to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Just as Lu Chensheng finished speaking, Liu Wensheng walked in, looked at Lu Chensheng and spoke.

"I won't be able to stay in this imperial capital for much longer. If you misunderstand, let's just misunderstand. Besides, there may be people from the prince's side. I guess he knows the situation. Otherwise, the prince personally came to invite him, but he didn't?"

Lu Chensheng didn't care at all when he heard this.

Liu Wensheng smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "That being said, you have agreed to the invitation of the prince and the third prince, but you have not agreed to the second prince. If the second prince takes that position in the future, I am afraid he will hold a grudge against you."

This is true, narrow-minded people will definitely remember this.

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"If he can even hold a grudge against something like this, then this can be a good way to see his temperament clearly."

Liu Wensheng was stunned when he heard this, and after looking at Lu Chensheng, he suddenly frowned, "Are you testing the second prince?"

"Why, can't it?"

There was no one around, so Lu Chensheng said it calmly.

The two princes are vying for this position. Lu Chensheng has met the prince once. From the current point of view, Lu Chensheng still appreciates him quite a bit and has less of a grudge in his heart.

As for the assassination, Lu Chensheng's doubts have not yet been resolved.
