In the face of Li's repeated persistence, Li Er can't say anything more.
"Ziyou, since you are determined to do so, I will respond to you. The Ministry of work and the general will fully cooperate with you. Just say what you need. After all, it is to build a new palace for the supreme emperor, and I can't do nothing at all."
When Li Er said this, those aristocratic family officials in the hall calmed down, looked at each other, and their eyes were full of excitement.
Obviously, their goal has been achieved.
But what Li forgets to worry about is also Li Er's sentence.
"Your Majesty, I do have one more thing."
"Oh? Then play it together."
Li forgot to worry again and motioned to Mituo. Then two palace attendants walked to the center of the hall with a scroll of paintings.
Li Er and all officials and officials were intrigued again.
Just now, in that picture scroll, Li forgot to worry personally drew the magnificent and magnificent Daming Palace. What did he draw in this picture scroll?
Li Er immediately made a gesture to the two chamberlains and instructed them to quickly unfold the picture.
After the painting slowly unfolded, Li Er couldn't help but be stunned.
On the scroll, Chang'an city is clearly drawn.
But different from the ordinary map of the Tang Dynasty, this picture of Chang'an city adopts the three-dimensional painting method of overlooking, which makes people seem to look down on the earth from nine days.
Li Er Dao has seen this painting technique. Li forgot to worry about the map presented to Li Er before, which also adopted this drawing method.
However, it is the first time for Li Er, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to observe his world city so intuitively.
Fang Xuanling, eldest sun Wuji and Gao Shilian, who are big men in the court, are also interested. They go to the front of the hall one after another and watch the aerial view of Chang'an City carefully with Li Er.
In fact, Li forgot to worry about this picture. Because he was in a hurry, it was not fine and very scrawly. It's just a unique perspective, but it makes Li Er and all the big men look in high spirits and laugh and talk at a place in the picture from time to time.
The picture scroll overlooking Chang'an City in the hands of two internal attendants was not fully unfolded. After receiving Li's signal, they slowly unfolded the second half of the picture.
Li Er and others were stunned when they saw it.
"Ziyou, the map of Chang'an is wrong."
"To the north of Taiji palace, why are there more walls and Li Fang?"
Before the construction of Daming Palace, Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty was basically a square city.
Taiji palace is located in the northernmost part of Chang'an City, with its back against the Xuanwu Gate and Xuande gate of Waiguo city.
On the aerial view of Chang'an City drawn by Li Qieyou, Chang'an City "grows" a large area to the north. Including the Daming Palace, which has not yet been built, the Chang'an city he painted has changed from a square to a rectangle. On the contrary, the location of the Tai Chi palace has become the center of Chang'an city.
"Ziyou, explain to me what you mean?" Li Er couldn't understand Li's mind.
"Your Majesty, now our Tang Dynasty is in long-term peace and stability, and the people are recuperating and reproducing. This is all the merit of your majesty." Li forgot to worry and flattered Li Er a little, which made Li Er very useful.
"But there are nearly one million people in Chang'an City, and they are increasing day by day. It is not easy to live in Chang'an. Therefore, I would like to ask your majesty to expand Chang'an City by building a new palace, Daming Palace. Of course, all the expenses should be borne by your minister. Your majesty agrees to the request of your minister, and the expanded Chang'an city can be sold to your minister."
Li's words, although not loud, exploded like a loud thunder in the hall. Everyone was stunned and stunned. He didn't know what to say.
Expansion of Chang'an City?
Should this be?
Of course, there should be, and there has already been such a voice above the hall.
Although Chang'an city was the largest, most magnificent and most standardized capital in the world at that time, it has been 50 or 60 years since the construction began in the second year of the emperor's reign in the Sui Dynasty.
As Li forget worry said, now Chang'an City has begun to become crowded.
With the deepening of East-West trade on the Silk Road, the East and West cities have long been in full operation.
Chang'an and Wannian counties both want to expand the East and West cities, but they suffer from the residents of the surrounding Lifang, which is either rich or expensive. It is impossible to "demolish". So this idea is just an idea.
Coupled with the terrain of Chang'an City, the terrain in the north of the city is low, and it is extremely hot every summer.
This is also the reason why Li Er wanted to build a new palace in the north of the city.
Even if those officials are expensive, most of their residences live near the Tai Chi palace. The terrain is as low as it is. They have a headache about the hot summer and humid environment in summer.
This is also one of the reasons why Li forget you has lived in Dingzhou village for a long time and is unwilling to return to kaihuafang's residence.
But to expand Chang'an City, the cost is an unimaginable astronomical figure. The project is several times larger than building a Daming Palace.
Li Er was stunned for a long time before he said, "Ziyou, what you just said, really after careful consideration? Do you know how much it takes to expand Chang'an City?"
"Your Majesty, I'm naturally aware of it." Li forgot you replied positively, but everyone in the hall thought Li forgot you was crazy.
Of course he is not crazy, but his heart is filled with joy.
The so-called construction of Daming Palace is just a "cover" to attract Li Er. The real purpose is to expand Chang'an city.
More accurately, it is for real estate development!
As he said before, Datang's real estate is really worthless, but it is also divided into lots.
At the beginning, Li's house in Huxian county was only thirty or fifty thousand yuan. However, after Ma Zhou became an official, he needed more than 100000 yuan to buy a much smaller house in Chang'an city.
Lot! Lot! Still lots!
This is the only way to develop real estate at any time.
If he just goes to the north of Chang'an city to expand the new city, naturally no one cares.
However, if the Daming Palace is built first, the value of the new town around the Daming Palace is debatable.
Even if the aristocratic family always intentionally or unintentionally oppose the imperial power and Li Er, they also need enough "social status".
Just like living near Tai Chi palace in the north of Chang'an City, living near Tai Chi palace in the future is also the embodiment of the status of these distinguished officials and aristocratic family leaders.
How much do you think is appropriate for such a lot?
In addition, after being reminded by Su Changqing, Li forgets worry and continues to think a lot.
To attract the richest people in Datang, only the location is not enough to make him earn a lot. More importantly, it is to provide enough attractive "products"!
Li forgot to worry about this.
With more than 2000 years of leading knowledge, it's really a simple and easy thing to do something new to attract these "earth buns" of Datang
(since the Daming Palace can be built in ten months in history, even if it is not all, it is enough to show that Li forgetyou can do it with bricks and stones. Although this is exaggerated, it should not be unreasonable. After all, a large number of people is strength. Mobilizing tens of thousands of craftsmen is not much slower in terms of efficiency or speed.)
