Even if urban reconstruction is a bad project, the court still has to stick to it.
The first wave of silver was issued to stabilize the current situation.
It’s unclear whether Xiao Bai’an contributed to this.
Mr. Zhang was not demoted. His tough attitude in the court yesterday frightened the courtiers.
No one has ever seen such a ruthless Master Zhang.
In addition, after communicating with the emperor in private, the emperor wanted to kill him, but he could not send some wrong information, so he could only support Zhang Liang.
Because the imperial court provided money to support the continuation of the renovation project, the civil and military expenses of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor's harem were all halved, and the salaries of officials were reduced. The officials dared not speak out and blamed Zhang Liang for all their hatred.
One thing offended people all over the world, and Zhang Liang became famous.
Mr. Zhang was on pins and needles every day, worried about what problems might arise from this huge gamble, and wanted to have a drink with Bai Song to complain.
This move of his was to put aside his official pretensions and regard Bai Song as a very close personal friend, who believed that the two of them were bound together.
He even thought about which of his granddaughters were good-looking at the right age and could best be given to Bai Song as his concubines.
Only getting married can make two people more tightly bound.
As a result, Lord Shangshu's servant came to deliver the message in person, and Bai Song actually rejected Lord Shangshu's request.
Because Bai Song encountered a new problem - how to build his son's palace?
That's right, it's the palace.
The emperor gave him a royal palace, which occupied a quarter of Changlefang. It was the largest palace in Chang'an City besides the royal gardens.
But the palace is an empty shell, with only land and no buildings.
The emperor gave the palace to Bai Song and asked Bai Song to build it himself, and he had to pay for the construction of the palace himself. This was a different way to make Bai Song bleed.
The palace given by the emperor is not a private residence. It is okay if the prince does not commit any crimes, but if he does, the court will take it back.
Li Shimin's intention was very obvious. The bank's affairs made it difficult for him, and he also wanted to make it difficult for Bai Song.
How much does it cost to build a palace? It’s impossible to calculate the cost.
But the first house in Youzhou in Jixian County was said to have cost nearly 80,000 taels of silver and took three years to build.
Moreover, the gardens of the previous dynasty at that time had lower prices and lower costs.
Again, in remote Youzhou, labor costs and construction material costs are also lower.
The land of the palace is larger than the house in Youzhou, and Bai Song is estimated to have felt numb because of the cost.
I'm afraid I won't be able to come if I don't have two hundred thousand taels.
Where did Bai Song get so much money?
The bank is losing money to make money, but the harvest has not yet come.
The bamboo paper is drizzling, it's a little fussy, and it's not enough to fill the gaps between teeth.
The renovation of Youzhou West City did make some money, but the money did not belong to Bai Song alone. The relationship network he established was a money-sucking black hole, and managing relationships cost money everywhere.
There is even less food in Youzhou's fields. This is a humanitarian charity project. The purpose is to lead the people to get rich, not to make money for themselves.
The Bai Song Dynasty had never had any involvement in the oil fields in the northern grasslands, but thinking about it, it was clear that before entering the industrial age, the use of oil was limited to paint, fuel, glue, etc., and there was not much money to be made.
If I want to build a palace for my son, I can even sell the house in Youzhou for a fraction of a cent.
The key emperor gave a time limit, only one year.
Bai Song panicked. He had never been so eager for silver since time travel.
The land used for the Prince's Mansion includes the boundaries of the Prince Consort's Mansion, which means that after the Prince's Mansion is built, the Prince Consort's Mansion must be demolished as well.
From now on, the Bai and Song family will have to rely on their son for their livelihood.
One year is also very tight, and even if you have enough money, you still have to work overtime to finish it.
Li Shimin didn't give Bai Song a chance to breathe. That afternoon, he sent his father, the best architect in the palace, to the Prince Consort's Mansion to discuss with Bai Song and produce the royal palace's ironing pattern within a week.
Just to make a mold, the master designer asked for 500 taels of silver, saying that the labor was not included, only the cost of materials for ironing the sample.
Designer Fu left, and Bai Song hurried out.
He wanted to borrow money and start construction quickly, otherwise the one-year construction period would not be completed.
A time traveler, after two years of living, still had to borrow money, Bai Song felt ridiculous when he thought about it.
But when he thought about it carefully, Bai Song was still very proud. As parents, his son's scenery was more satisfying than his own. It was exciting and accomplished to build a noble palace for his son openly and honestly.
things.
On the way to borrow money, Bai Song's first stop was the Yu family.
Yu Shinan was a master in the Bai Song Dynasty. When his apprentice encountered difficulties, he borrowed money from the master's family and did not let outsiders talk about it.
Moreover, we are close and easy to talk to.
But Bai Song didn't know that Mr. Yu was an incorruptible official and that even his family members could not make money.
Now that Mr. Yu has retired and the Yu family is living more frugally, how can they have money for Bai Song?
At the first stop, Bai Song came to nothing and was too embarrassed to borrow money. However, after Bai Song left, Yu Qingqing chased him out and tried to give him some small jewelry of her own.
Of course Bai Song refused. The little girl reluctantly said goodbye to Bai Song, and said she would go to the Prince Consort's Mansion to play with him in a few days.
At the second stop, Bai Song found Changsun Huan and told him that Changsun Huan was the second son of the Changsun family and a well-known dandy in the capital. He should have some spare money.
It turned out to be in vain again.
Changsun Huan is no longer a dandy in the capital. He changed his gender after graduating from Yongxing Academy. Now he is focusing on coping with this year's provincial examination. He wants to take part in the imperial examination under a pseudonym. He will study hard and never leave the door. The key is that Changsun Wuji
Even though he controlled him tightly, he didn't give him any pocket money. He didn't even see Bai Song for a few minutes.
At the third stop, Bai Song found Lu Yao. He heard that Lu Yao was already the Minister of Household Affairs, his official career was prosperous, he was on the right track, and he was the most outstanding among all the students. He also truly inherited Mr. Yu’s instructions, at least he understood
On the surface, he became the successor of Jianghuai Group.
Bai Song thought to himself that Lu Yao should be rich.
In the past, they were not dealt with, but college life has long connected them. Although they have no contact, they all know in their hearts that they are one of their own.
When Bai Song has difficulties, his classmates will not fail to help.
Lu Yao met Bai Song and had a drink with Bai Song. After learning about Bai Song's predicament, he felt helpless.
Nowadays, Lu Yao is very restrained and cherishes his feathers. Although he works as an errand in the household department, he has never done anything extraordinary. He relies on his salary every month to own his own house and marry a wife, but he only has enough money.
Daily expenses.
No way, Bai Song still couldn't borrow the money.
Coincidentally, the two of them came to the Hualou Yingyue Tower where they met for the first time to have a drink.
The conversation between the two was overheard by Miss Mingyue who was hiding aside.
Mingyue didn't want to see Lu Yao, but she had always been looking forward to Mr. Bai coming to find her.
She waited for a month and didn't see Mr. Bai. She felt extremely disappointed. When she heard that Mr. Bai was in trouble, she ignored her restraint and secretly stuffed the jewelry box she had saved for several years into Bai Song's clothes.
Bai Song didn't even notice it. He took off his coat at Yingyue Tower on the way, and after walking a long way away from Yingyue Tower, he discovered that there was an extra box inside the clothes.
When I opened it, I saw it was all gold, silver and jewelry!
