Chapter 575 Site Selection
"Born in sorrow, die in peace!" These words shocked the Xizhicai who had learned a lot.

When Xi Zhicai kept chanting these words, Mu Jing had already started to act.

Building a government is not an easy task.

Minghou is a first-class title, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, in power, also controls nine counties in Hanzhong, and several counties in Nanyang, adding up to the control of more than a dozen counties, with a population of nearly one million, placed in the Spring and Autumn Period , are all princes and kings of the same size.

The first is to choose an address.

Mu Jing wandered outside the city for three or four days, walked almost a hundred miles, looked and looked, and finally found a place where he could build a mansion less than ten miles southeast, on the north side of the Han River.

This place is not very good, the key is that the place is big enough, with mountains in front and water in the back, and a large plain in the middle, which can be used freely, and there is no problem in building a city.

Establishing the Marquis Ming's Mansion here, on the one hand, can build a large-scale mansion, and on the other hand, it can facilitate the garrison of troops. Although Mu Jing built the mansion outside the city, he had a lot of considerations, but it doesn't mean that Mu Jing is not worried about safety.

Born in sorrow, died in peace, that is for others to hear.

Built outside the city, on the one hand, it is to stabilize the hearts of Hanzhong aristocratic families. Putting it in the Minghou Mansion outside the city will make many people feel at ease, and it will also reduce a lot of grudges. This is a good start. Another point is that Mu Jing is not at ease living in Nanzheng City. He has no foundation in Hanzhong. Once he encounters a riot of thousands of people, he may not be able to suppress it by killing a few people.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

So even if the Minghou Mansion is built in the suburbs, there must be heavy troops stationed around the Minghou Mansion so that Mujing can feel safe.

"Machine!"

Standing on the hill, Mu Jing looked down at the flat land in front of him, and said, "I've just spotted this place. Next, you go find people, find out the site, and then gather the folks to prepare to start building the Minghou Mansion!"

"My lord, are you sure you want to build it here?" Yi Ji still couldn't figure out why Mu Jing built the mansion outside the city.

"How can you change your mind if you keep your promises!"

Mu Jing smiled.

"I'll make arrangements right now."

Yiji is now the second secretary of Mujing, and his status is among the ministers of the Minghou Mansion. It can be regarded as a rising tide. If he speaks, it is as if the Minghou is here in person, so he acts a lot more decisively.

In one day, he found the most famous architect in Hanzhong.

Although the whole era was not the era when everything was inferior and only students were high-ranking, it was similar. As we all know, studying and becoming an official is the way to get ahead, and everything else is miscellaneous and heretical.

Medicine is not popular, architecture, in the past, was Mohism, Mohism was not popular, of course, if there is demand, there will be a response, Mohism is not popular, and some people go to learn, craftsmen are not as good as merchants, but their status is still high. Above merchants, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have been the norms for thousands of years.

This master architect is named Yue Zhu, and he is already sixty years old. Longevity is rare in this era. In an era when the average age is only around 40 or 60, it is luck to reach the age of [-]. wonderful people.

Holding on to his crutches, Yue Zhu tremblingly walked in front of Mu Jing, and bowed his head in salute: "Little old man pays homage to the lord, the lord is blessed!"

"Old man, please get up quickly!"

Without further ado, Mu Jing stepped forward to take the seat, and personally helped the old man in civilian clothes. He still respects the old man. This Yue Zhu was rumored to be an apprentice of the Mohist school, but the Mohist family traced it back for too long. His workmanship is known as the best in Hanzhong. He has built no less than ten mansions, all of which were houses of wealthy families in Hanzhong. of!"

"You are noble, you will naturally receive the gift of the second child!" Yue Zhu was flattered. If it were an ordinary person, even if he was the head of a family, he would not be so frightened. After all, he has seen the world and been a guest of many people. , but in front of him is Minghou, the Minghou Mujing who made Nanzheng's blood flow like a river.

Now Hong, the son of the people in Nanzheng, who doesn't know that Lord Minghou who is in charge of power is an out-and-out devil. Now that the blood at Dongshikou has not been completely wiped away, the tragic scene makes the people often feel uncomfortable. Dare to sleep, people naturally have a fear of Mujing.

When Mu Jing saw it, he smiled wryly. There was a good side to the matter, but there was also a bad side. His execution at Dongshikou shocked countless gentry in the city. Huge impression.

This can only change slowly.

"Old man, I invite you here this time because I have something to ask for!" Mu Jing tried his best to look kindly, and his tone was quite gentle: "The imperial court granted me a title, which should have belonged to the town, but now the imperial court ordered me to Shepherding Hanzhong, so I have to build a mansion in Hanzhong!"

"It turns out that the purpose of the monarch is to build a mansion?"

Yue Zhu heaved a sigh of relief. He was invited here so early in the morning. He was afraid that he would accidentally offend the King of Hell, and his heart trembled. He had been working for a long time to build a mansion, which was his specialty. He suddenly changed. I became more confident: "I don't know where your lord is going to build a mansion, the little old man needs to investigate the address himself!"

"Naturally, Uncle Ji, go prepare the carriage, let's go out of the city!"

Mujing waved his hand and asked Yiji to prepare.

"Out of the city?" Yue Zhu heard the words, although he didn't dare to speak, but he was slightly puzzled: Is the Minghou Mansion going to be built outside the city?

Of course, although he had doubts, but the image of a demon left by Mujing was too great, he dared not speak or ask.

Just like that, Yue Zhu and Mu Jing rode in the same carriage and headed out of the city.

When he got off the carriage, Yue Zhu's feet were trembling. Thinking about it, he was in the same carriage with this bloodless demon all the way, making him thump and thump, and he almost couldn't breathe Come on, straight up.

"Old man, what do you think of this plain?"

Mujing looked ahead.

"There are mountains and rivers, the plains are high and wide, and there is no hidden water. It is a place where you can build a mansion!" Yue Zhu looked carefully, but he was very surprised, and said: "But this place is too big. This is a big project, no less than building a palace!"

"Hahaha!"

Mu Jing laughed loudly: "The old man is joking, Jing Ke doesn't have such big ambitions, and he doesn't dare to hurt the people so much!"

This plain is connected to the surrounding mountains, and the Han River flows in the south. At first glance, it is at least a few thousand acres. You must know that the Han Weiyang Palace is only five square kilometers, more than 7000 acres. It is not so big. ambition, let alone such a large financial resources.

"My preliminary consideration is that the Minghou Mansion can be built with an area of ​​[-] mu, right in this plain. As for where to choose the site, I'll let the old man make the decision!"

Mu Jing has thought about it. Minghou Mansion must have a place to settle down in Dingli Hanzhong, and make it a little more solid so as to show its future appearance. He doesn't want to move casually, so once the atmosphere is great, build an [-]-acre His mansion, not only his mansion, but also his office.

"The old man needs time!"

Yue Zhu said.

"No problem!" Mu Jing nodded: "If you need anything, Yiji will help you, Yiji!"

"Lord!"

"From now on, you are the supervisor overseeing the construction of the Minghou Mansion, responsible for all logistical supplies, including the recruitment of civilian husbands, but Mr. Yue is the main one, he is the master of the Minghou Mansion!"

"As ordered!"

"Since Junhou trusts the little old man, the little old man decided to build a mansion for Junhou to satisfy him!" Yue Zhu said respectfully.

Yue Zhu is an old man who is fascinated by architecture. Of course, he alone cannot undertake such a large project. He also has dozens of apprentices under him, which can satisfy the identity of a designer.

This is the biggest job he has ever taken over. Putting aside his fear of Mujing, Minghou Mansion is also the mansion with the highest status he has taken over, so he is very serious, and even regards it as the honor of his life, his masterpiece.

The next day, he took dozens of apprentices under his disciples, camped on this plain, and began to choose a place to build a mansion.
