"You have to do things beautifully. Besides, I heard that he and Qingyang really don't get along."
Dong Rui burped: "Didn't you say that in the early days in Tianshui City we would just have small fights?"
"This is just a small fight. I want King Yao to see that while I am embarrassing Qingyang for him, I just want to take the opportunity to make some money." He Lingchuan spread his hands, "The timing of our intervention in Tianshui City is very good. Qingyang just borrowed
Having taken advantage of Xue Zongwu's death, she should be in a good mood, and the person who has the upper hand is always more generous. As long as King Yao doesn't go too far, she probably won't bother to care about it; on the other hand, King Yao himself is about to have his birthday, and he doesn't want to worry about it.
They want to make a big fuss and just want to vent their anger. Therefore, they are not very willing to fight now."
"What's so good about this?"
"If they fight against each other, outsiders will be crushed as soon as they enter. There is not much room for maneuver." He Lingchuan smiled, "I said it is best to be calm when entering, but I did not say that Tianshui City would always be so peaceful. King Yao thought
I was only given a small job, a small person should do small things. But the smaller the task, the greater the room for operation."
He will definitely give Qingyang and King Yao a hard push behind them.
Dong Rui curled his lips, King Yao was trying to lure a wolf into the house. Don’t you know that this guy in front of you is the best at making things bigger?
He Lingchuan stretched out and said, "Get some rest. There will be a good show starting tomorrow."
…
The next day, Yaoting convened a morning meeting of all officials.
Large-scale court meetings were held at most once or twice a month. Normally, King Yao would bring a few officials to a side hall for meetings to talk about something, but he rarely mobilized people like this.
After all, the grand ceremony was coming soon, so this meeting was in the name of preparing for the longevity ceremony. King Yao checked the progress of the preparation work, and the problems raised by the officials in the court had to be solved.
Then, he rearranged the important foreign affairs reception duties for that day to Prince Qing’s Mansion!
All the officials looked at each other in astonishment, saying nothing but being surprised in their hearts.
A while ago, Qingyang Supervisor "secretly" collected evidence of the Qing Prince's Mansion and made it known to the public. Although it was not stated explicitly, everything in his words pointed to the Qing Prince's Mansion.
Although Qingyang Supervisor suddenly no longer caused trouble for these people, King Yao had a bad attitude toward Prince Qing's Mansion, and even took away many of the Zhang family's powers on pretexts.
Prince Qing's Mansion has always acted in a high-profile manner in Tianshui City. How many people in the court applauded it for learning this lesson?
The morning before yesterday, Your Majesty used some pretext to scold Prince Qing's Mansion. Within two days, he suddenly looked kindly to Prince Qing's Mansion again. Not only did he comfort him with kind words, but he also entrusted him with important responsibilities.
What was the reason that caused your Majesty's attitude to turn 180 degrees?
What did Prince Qing's Mansion do during these two days?
In other words, what did you do right?
The second item on the agenda is the expansion of Tianshui City. Everyone in the court still has their own opinions and cannot agree on one thing——
Same as always.
Because this agenda was discussed again to no avail, King Yao made a stinking face. When he entered the next agenda, he blocked two projects and refused to approve them, and directly canceled three funding applications.
"The treasury is empty, Gu and Wang Ting have no money, how dare you report such a high budget? Are you planning to use your own money to plug the gap?"
Several officials were scolded by him until they lowered their eyebrows and eyes, and did not dare to raise their heads.
Finally, Yaoting announced the promotion of a number of officials.
After the court, it was time for officials to gather for private discussions. They soon received two pieces of news:
First of all, the Chibao Sale last night sold the first jingshe in Youhu Villa, which was acquired by Prince Qing’s Mansion at a cost of thirty-eight thousand taels.
Most officials were shocked when they heard about the so-called "Youhu Villa" and asked what was going on.
That piece of royal territory has a beautiful environment, with flowers, grass, and mosquitoes, but it is not open to outsiders. What kind of project is this "Secret Lake Villa"?
Naturally, someone explained to them that this was a piece of land specially granted to foreign businessmen by your Majesty. In the future, a separate garden monastery would be built and sold to the outside world.
The words "for sale to external parties" really shocked a group of officials.
Can you live in it if you have money? It doesn’t have to be a royal status?
Then there are endless thoughts.
But how can a monastery be worth thirty-eight thousand taels? What opportunity did Prince Qing’s Mansion sense to take a photo of such an expensive house?
The second news is that the Yuwen family and the Gu family have also pre-purchased the jingshe in Youhu Villa.
What the Yuwen family wants is a good house in the first row facing the lake. The price is a little lower than that of Prince Qing's Mansion, the area is smaller, and the view directly on it is not that good, but the price is not cheap at 33,000 taels.
The Gu family has decided to build a monastery in the back row. It is said that there will be a hot spring directly connected to the backyard, and the price is 27,000 taels.
When everyone heard it, they called it outrageous.
The construction of Youhu Villa has not started yet. You only submitted a few drawings and you were able to sell three luxury houses?
That one hundred thousand taels of silver was so easy to earn!
Of course, the officials would immediately think, why are Prince Qing’s Mansion, Gu family and Yuwen family rushing to buy Youhu Villa?
They don't lack a place to live.
That is, Youhu Villa has extra "added value" and is very expensive!
And these three companies are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, which shows that they think it is worth it.
What do the Qingwang Mansion, the Gu family and the Yuwen family have in common?
These three families all hold high positions and have great wealth. Not to mention the Qing Palace, the Gu family and the Yuwen family are both officials and businessmen who are deeply trusted by King Yao, and several of them are serving as officials in the court.
How can something that they are clamoring for have no value?
Several members of the aristocratic family took advantage of their good relationship with Gu Xuan and quickly came to him to ask:
"Brother Gu, what's going on in Youhu Villa?"
Gu Xuan and other officials were debating the expansion of the capital, and he was making an impassioned speech: "The last expansion of Tianshui City was sixty years ago! I passed Baizhou Street the day before yesterday, and because a carriage wheel broke in the middle of the road, the whole street was destroyed.
It was blocked for more than half an hour! It is one of the busiest main streets in Tianshui City, but it can only accommodate two carriages driving side by side! Who would dare to believe it? The roads in the central city are narrower than those in small rural towns!"
After saying this, he turned back towards the crowd and said:
"Don't you all know that Youhu is going to build a garden? We can buy it."
Just because you can buy it doesn’t mean you should buy it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! One of them smiled and said: "What secrets has your family figured out? Tell us about it, so we can't be kept in the dark."
Gu Xuan asked back: "Who lives in Youhu Xiaozhu now?"
"Qingyang oversees the country." Everyone knows this.
Gu Xuan dipped his hands in water and drew a map on the table, then marked a little on the map:
"This is the location of Youhu Villa."
He added a dozen more little dots on the opposite side:
"This is the location of the Youhu Villa that is about to be built."
When everyone saw it, their eyes widened: "Ah, isn't this right opposite Youhu Xiaozhu?"
"Yes, there is only a shallow bay across it." Gu Xuan said with a smile, "After the Bieyuan is built, the people who live here will be neighbors with Qingyang Supervisor all day long."
There was silence in the venue.
Youhu is so big, there is no place to build a building. Why does this villa have to be built to the south of Youhu Xiaozhu?
Everyone is not stupid. Thinking about the tense situation in the court recently, how can this matter have nothing to do with Qingyang Supervisor?
It is said that there is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed. Youhu is the exclusive property of Qingyang Supervisor, and even the royal family does not dare to live there. Now that there are so many "neighbors", can Qingyang Supervisor be happy?
On the other hand, the residents here will make Qingyang Supervisor unhappy.
Therefore, whoever buys a house here will be in trouble with Qingyang Supervisor.
Someone stammered: "Then, brother Gu still spends more than 20,000 taels to buy this place?"
Isn't this just spending money to offend Qingyang Supervisor?
Gu Xuan smiled and said: "More than 20,000 yuan is the friendly price given to me by the island owner. Last night, Bai Fang, the old general, went to buy the monastery in the first row near the lake and spent 50,000 taels!"
All the officials were shocked: "What?"
"When did this happen?"
"On the way into the palace in the morning, General Bai said it himself, and I heard every word." When Bai Tan spoke, one voice was like a bell, and the other was triumphant.
