Chapter 217 Royal Palace
The wedding lasted for two days. Finally, Xiao Yuan summoned officials from all over the country and ordered them to return to their jurisdiction quickly and not stay in Qinzhou anymore.
A place cannot be without officials.
After these people left Qinzhou, Shangguan Wenruo reported on this day that the palace had already been selected and asked Xiao Yuan to go and decide.
This is also a big deal. After receiving the news, Xiao Yuan took his group to his destination.
This is a wilderness outside Qinzhou City, not far from the city wall.
When Xiao Yuan arrived here, he saw Shangguan Wenruo pointing fingers and gestures with a middle-aged man there, probably discussing the area of the palace and the general plan.
When he approached, Shangguan Wen, if he learned about it, he immediately stopped talking, walked over quickly, and said, "Lord."
Xiao Yuan waved his hand to signal him to avoid the gift, then glanced at the surrounding environment and said, "The address of the palace you mentioned is here?"
"I went back to the lord, and I looked at many places below. I searched for a long time, but when I looked back, I found that this place was where the king's aura was." Shangguan Wenruo said.
"Oh?" He said mysteriously, and Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at him with a funny look.
The latter began to point to the open space in front of him and explained: "My lord, please see, this place is surrounded by mountains in the north and the plains in the south. Qinzhou is also a military and political center. Judging from the general trend, the tiger lies in the dragon plaque, and the situation is majestic, which is the best Feng Shui."
Liu Yuzhi once said that Shangguan Wenruo was aware of astronomy and geography. He understood these things, and there was nothing strange about this statement.
To be honest, Xiao Yuan didn't understand these, but he looked around and said, "There is Qinzhou City next to him. What do you mean is to demolish the current city wall and then use the royal palace as the center of Qinzhou?"
"That's right." Shangguan Wenruo said: "Qinzhou goes east and you can look down at the Central Plains, go down to the Jianghuai, retreat, and go back to Sanchuan, which is enough to control the world and become the capital of the king. Moreover, the lord must be in the middle to receive all directions. Whether it is managing Qin and Shu, or going east to compete for hegemony, or staying in this place, it must be here."
He said seriously. Xiao Yuan nodded slowly when he heard this: "Okay, as you said, how are you going to build it?"
"I don't understand the construction matter, but I have invited talents from this field for the lord."
As he spoke, Shangguan Wenruo introduced the middle-aged man behind him to Xiao Yuan and said, "Lord, this person's name is Mo Ziyu, and his ancestors are all top craftsmen. They are listed in the palaces of the kings, and they are often made by their ancestors."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan understood that this should be similar to the top architect at that time. He smiled slightly and bowed and said, "Mr. Mo is here."
"Where is there, sir, you're so polite." Mo Ziyu also smiled and gave a bow, and then explained:
"According to the national capital, there should be three gates next to each other, nine generals and nine latitudes in the country, nine tracks in the country, the left ancestors and the right society, and the front dynasty and the back market."
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan said in a hint: "Sir, this is too big, right?"
This is to build a palace, not a house. Perhaps I didn’t expect the Qin Lord to say this. Mo Ziyu couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment and then said, “Sir, I don’t know that the matter of the palace represents the supreme majesty of the king, and must be strictly regulated.”
"Okay." Xiao Yuan said helplessly, and asked curiously: "How much does the specific land cover take up?"
"Yeah..." Mo Ziyu pondered for a moment: "After discussing with Lord Shangguan, I thought that more than 600 acres of this place was the best. Of course, this still needs to be decided by Lord."
"What!?" Xiao Yuan was shocked after hearing this, and couldn't help but stare at him and said, "This is too big! No, no! I, Qin, don't have that much money!"
He waved his hands repeatedly, not to mention how stingy he looked.
600 acres, in the unit at that time, is equivalent to more than 400,000 square meters now.
Seeing his appearance, Mo Ziyu couldn't help but look at Shangguan Wenruo and said, "Sir, looking at the palaces of the kings, especially the Jin Palace, just dividing the land, it has reached 980 acres, including more than 60 palaces, majestic and majestic, and the world."
"What's the use?" Xiao Yuan immediately said: "The Jin Palace is the Jin Palace, and the Jin King is the King of Jin. People have money and can squander at will, but we are poor and cannot waste the people so much. In my opinion, it's only 200 acres, which is the best."
As he spoke, he looked at Mo Ziyu and said, "200 acres, may sir be able to complete the scale of the palace?"
"This..." Mo Ziyu looked weird and didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wenruo moved the corner of his mouth, saying, "Lord, in the opinion of the following, you can still have four or five hundred acres?"
"No, I don't have money, I only have 200 acres." Xiao Yuan said simply.
"That...400 acres?" Shangguan Wenruo said tentatively again.
"No, no."
"Lord, this is the royal city, that 300 acres head office."
"This...well, it's only 300 acres."
This is the construction of a royal palace. It was originally where Xiao Yuan discussed politics and lived, but now he has started bargaining.
Shangguan Wenruo had no choice but to point to a place after this incident and said, "Lord, please see, when the palace is completed, it will become the main street and the center of the market."
Wherever the capital is, it is naturally the political and economic center. There is nothing to say. Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard this.
At this moment, Ye Cheng hurried over, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the two messengers are here."
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help looking back.
Sure enough, Cai Yan and Cheng Ping were coming here under Liu Yuzhi's leadership.
After the two sides met, Cai Yan bowed and said, "I was going to say goodbye, but I heard that Master Qin is here, so I asked Lord Liu to bring him here. If there is any disturbance, Master Qin will be here."
"Where is the place, I'm so kind." Xiao Yuan said with a smile, and then said, "What? Lord Cai is leaving? I won't stay for a few more days, so I can do my best to be a landlord."
"No, I can't do it. Master Qin is very kind to treat him. He is flattered. It's still inconvenient to stay for a long time. It's better to return to China as soon as possible and report to my king." Cai Yan said politely.
Xiao Yuan couldn't force himself to stay when he said this, so he was polite to Cheng Ping, who also came to say goodbye.
Then, Cai Yan looked at the venue again and said curiously: "I heard that Qin wants to establish a country. Is this building a royal palace?"
"This..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment.
Cai Yan said again: "If the main prime minister of Qin is the king, please inform the Liang Kingdom. At that time, our country will definitely go to watch the ceremony."
"The same is true for Lingguo. I hope to be friendly with Qin forever." Cheng Ping followed.
"Haha, it's easy to say, sure, sure."
