Chapter 1478: The World of Han Banner (168) Night in Jicheng
Jicheng under the night, lights are gradually rising, Jicheng, which never curfews, is inferior to the prosperous silk in the daytime. Especially as the Spring Festival, the most important solar term of the year approaches, every household hangs red lanterns. Looking down from above, the night of Jicheng is like the galaxy in summer, dotted with stars and dots of the night sky.
Although the weather is still very cold, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people of Jicheng. Now even an ordinary citizen of the Han Kingdom will no longer doubt the ability of Han Kingdom to unify the world. Even the Chu Kingdom, which had an eight hundred-year dynasty and a five-thousand-mile country, fell down in less than half a year under the powerful offensive of the Han Kingdom. By the way, he also hugged grass and beat rabbits, and removed most of the main force of Qin. Although all the armies have stopped offensives and started to repair, everyone is convinced that next year will be the last country on this continent, the period for the fall of Qin Kingdom, which once dominated the mainland for many years.
Because just early this morning, the envoy who had been carrying a red flag rushed into Jicheng again, and in his already hoarse voice, he kept loudly conveying the good news ahead to the people passing by. Commander Helanxiong of the Third Military Region drove the army to break through Shannan County, an important town in Qin State, and opened the door to attack the northern part of Qin State.
At this point, the southern and northern gates of Qin had been broken by the Han State. Qin State was facing a situation where it was attacked by the Han State on both sides. In addition, most of its main force was destroyed by the Han State in the process of destroying Chu, which can be said to be extremely severe.
However, for Jicheng merchants every big victory, it is a business opportunity for them, because the people of Jicheng will celebrate the victory ahead. Every household always has to buy more or less things, and restaurants, restaurants, and teahouses are even more happy, and they can sleepless again tonight.
Carnival is a celebration for the people, but for them, it is money.
Just as the celebration of the fire trees and silver flowers in Jicheng never sleeps, Gao Yuan quietly returned to Jicheng. For ordinary people, leaving home for a long time and returning to their hometown, naturally, they have to be accompanied by their family to wash away their fatigue and dust, and spend a beautiful scene in the soft embrace of warm greetings by their relatives. But for the king of Han, they were a little delusional. Before others entered the palace, the bosses of the Political Affairs Hall were already waiting for him with countless official duties. As for Ye Jing'er, Helanyan and three children, they could only grab Ning Xin, who returned to the harem, to inquire about Gao Yuan's recent situation during this period.
"Thank you for your hard work, your great master!" The leaders of the Political Affairs Hall headed by Yan Shengxu bowed to Gao Yuan together: "Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King, unify the Central Plains, and it is just around the corner."
"Thank you all!" Gao Yuan smiled and waved his hands at everyone, "I was on the front line, but I didn't do anything. I just kept fishing and didn't catch anything. It was really annoying. Even Yang Dasha could catch it, but I got nothing."
Everyone laughed loudly, and Yan Shengxu smiled and said, "King, God is a god from heaven. Of course, God will not let you be perfect, you will always leave a little flaw."
Gao Yuan laughed: "I haven't seen each other for a few months, our prime minister will flatter you too. Hey. No, after you say that, why do I think you are more like a human being when you don't know how to catch?"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Everyone is in a relaxed mood. Over the past two years, the big national strategy they have worked hard and planned together with Gao Yuan are now becoming a reality one by one. When the world is unified, these people will be recorded in history with the king and will be kept in history forever.
"Sit all, I think I don't have to sleep tonight, right?" Gao Yuan sat down, "I have already told He Weiyuan to prepare for midnight snacks for a while. If there is anything, let's finish it tonight. Next, I will give myself a few days off and relax. You stay in Jicheng, your wives and children are warm every day, so you can't be full and not know that the hungry man is ridiculed."
There was another burst of laughter in the study. Outside the room, a figure was grinding his teeth. He Weiyuan was standing against the wall with a wry smile on his face, because his throat was being pinched by a slender little hand, and he didn't dare to resist, because the person who was pinching him was the second princess Helanyan.
"These people are too ignorant." He Lanyan gritted her teeth and said, "Just just entered the door, I didn't let my elder brother take a break. A few children were crying behind me and want to see my father. The delicious table prepared by Sister Jing'er was in vain. He Weiyuan, I will prepare their late-night snack today. You are not allowed to interfere. Just bring it in honestly. If you dare to reveal a little stuffing, I will clean up you in the future."
He Weiyuan said dumbfoundedly: "Empress, what are you going to do?"
"Prepare for midnight snack!" Helanyan laughed evilly, "Prepare a midnight snack for them. Come with me and start."
He Weiyuan, who was frowning, was grabbed by He Lanyan and walked towards the kitchen. He knew that this aunt would definitely have no good things when she intervened. She would definitely have taken the blame for this culprit later.
Naturally, I didn’t know about the little episode that happened outside, and I was reporting it one by one.
The first one to speak was Wu Kai. Yan Shengxu was the chief minister, so he was naturally the last to make a summary speech, and Wu Kai was the second-ranked old political discussion.
"King, for the past two years, the old minister has been mainly responsible for the renovation of Jicheng's old city. Now it has basically come to an end. The expansion of the new city has been completed. In this process, we not only did not spend a penny, but we made a big smile through various commercial operations. Wang Wu was salivating and came to me every day to ask me to hand over the money to the treasury. However, the old minister had another idea. Jicheng was transformed, but how many cities in our great man still need this kind of transformation in the future. So I want to use this money to set up a company and be responsible for the renovation of this old city in the future. Now we have experience and someone to do it. This work can not only greatly change the appearance of the old city, but also make money. So what about this money, I want to use it as the first start-up capital. What do you think?"
"Yes, this idea is good." Gao Yuan glanced at Wu Kai with appreciation, "I think this company is called the Urban Investment Company. I told Wang Wudi that he should look longer-term. He should think about making money with money so that he can keep money. He should not just think about saving money in the treasury. When money is deposited, it will always be less and less. Only by constantly flowing, can he get more and more."
"That's the reason. Wang Wudi is a wealthy slave. It's easy to get money into him, but it's difficult to get it out of him." Wu Kai was a businessman and was most dissatisfied with Wang Wudi's temperament. He took the opportunity to sue him.
"Old Wu, Wang Wudi is still very qualified as the butler of our great man." Yan Shengxu interrupted, "I don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive if I don't take charge. As the chief assistant, there is a butler like Wang Wudi, who is quite satisfied. Many things that are inconvenient for him will be brought forward by Wang Wudi, the black-faced butler, can be settled. At this time, seeing Wu Kai complaining about the wrongdoer, naturally, he has to come forward to protect this officer.
Wu Kai laughed and stopped making any more noise.
Wu Qi smiled and said, "It is indeed difficult for Minister Wang to make money, but I have a plan here next, that is, I have to ask the country to pay for it, and the amount is still very large. King, my Han two major arteries, north, south, east and west, have been built, but now we have taken over Chu, and Qin will be in the pocket next year. The current transportation road is obviously behind. So in the past six months, I, together with Minister Sun Xiaosun of the Ministry of Construction, have formulated a three-dimensional and three-dimensional transportation network. If this plan can become a reality, then the unified Han will be connected through this huge transportation network. Didn't the King say that if we want to be rich, we should first build roads. The experience accumulated by our Han over the years is enough to complete this grand plan in terms of technology."
"Three vertical and three horizontal?" Gao Yuan was startled. Former Minister of Works Guo Quan ended up exhausted and died of office after his whole life. He only built two main traffic roads, namely one vertical and one horizontal. Now, Wu Qi took action, three vertical and three horizontal.
As Wu Qi said, in the previous election of the prime minister, he lost to Yan Shengxu by a slight gap, which gave him great confidence. The term of office of a prime minister is only five years. For a politician, it will pass in a flash. If he wants to win the next election, he needs glorious political achievements. You must know that according to the election bill, starting from the second election, as long as he is a citizen of the Han Dynasty, anyone is qualified to announce the election. Looking at the political affairs hall, there are not many opponents, but looking at the entire Han Dynasty, it is not necessarily gone. For example, now in Liaodong, it is in the future.
Fang Shu, who served on the Peninsula, has become famous in recent years. When he was just a county magistrate, he successfully attracted the attention of the whole country with a series of people's livelihood policies, and even received strong praise from Gao Yuan, saying that he had talent. After becoming the county magistrate of Liaoning County at a record-breaking speed, in just one year, the finances of Liaoning County have crossed several steps. Liaoning County is a large mineral county, with large merchants gathering in the county and rich financial resources. More importantly, he is the confidant of the current chief minister Yan Shengxu. Yan Shengxu, who will no longer participate in the election, will definitely support him strongly.
In addition to Yanshu, another person regarded as a strong enemy by Wu Qi is Tian Yuancheng, the county magistrate of Dayan County. This person has experience in governing a country. After Qi was conquered by the Han Dynasty, he lived in Dayan Lake after surrender, but he has been committed to re-entering the political arena. I am afraid that no one will go deeper into the research on the Han Dynasty's policies than him. After several years of dormant, he successfully became the county magistrate of Dayan County. The political power behind this person is not weaker than himself. Moreover, this person's election is the one who must be strongly supported and should not be underestimated.
Therefore, he needed a project that attracted national attention to to improve his political achievements. In his opinion, these three vertical and three horizontal transportation networks are also what the great man must do next. Since the time of Guo Quan, he has been in charge of the Ministry of Construction and the country's transportation construction. It is natural for him to put forward this suggestion.
