Chapter 612 Midsummer

Yujing City, the capital of Ningguo.

Live quietly.

Although the night was quiet, there was no wind, and there was a stuffy atmosphere in the air.

It's by the lotus pond there.

In the gazebo on the lotus pond.

Wen Zhuyu shook a cattail fan and Nian Chengfeng enjoyed the cool here.

The lotus in the lotus pond has bloomed a lot, and it looks extraordinarily delicate and beautiful under the soft lantern light.

Nian Chengfeng didn't look at the lotus at the moment, but at Wen Zhuyu.

The expression on his face was quite anxious, but Wen Zhuyu's face was still calm and indifferent.

"Sometimes I admire your energy-raising skills!"

Nian Chengfeng stood up and stood by the fence, then looked at the lotus flowers, and said:
"Wu's army, have they captured the Yudan River Plain?"

"Has the Red Flame Army reached the Yudan River Plain?"

"The death of the regent has dealt a blow to the confidence of the merchants. How can we restore it?"

"It's halfway through this year, but how much tax money can the household department collect this year?"

After Nian Chengfeng asked four consecutive questions, he turned around, looked at Wen Zhuyu who was still shaking his fan, and asked again:
"There are only two more months left before Qiu Wei, and more and more students are arriving in Kyoto, why not let them go to Changle Palace?"

"In addition, Yu Wenfeng sent a letter of credence, a letter of credence! He will hold a grand enthronement ceremony in the spring of next year, and invite our Emperor Ningguo to attend..."

"Our emperor will arrive in Kyoto in ten days. The enthronement should have been prepared a long time ago... Why did you let the Ministry of Rites delay?"

Wen Zhuyu was listening.

He waited until Nian Chengfeng asked all the questions before he suddenly smiled: "Old age, sitting, sitting, standing back hurts!"

Seeing Wen Zhuyu's smiling face, Nian Chengfeng became angry, "I don't have a backache right now!"

Wen Zhuyu shook his fan, his eyes lit up: "Could it be kidney pain?"

"Just like Su Yi'an, his wife has only been in the capital for a few days?"

"When I went to court, I even supported my waist!"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this guy, I thought he had taught in Sanwei Bookstore for so many years and had no desires..."

Before Wen Zhuyu finished speaking, Nian Chengfeng interrupted:

"It's business!"

"If you don't give the old man an answer today, the old man will quit!"

Wen Zhuyu's speed of shaking the fan was much slower.

He looked at the dark night sky, pondered for a moment before saying leisurely:
"If the emperor's eldest son's enthronement ceremony is done according to the rules of etiquette, it will require a lot of money!"

"Today, Li Wenhou threw me the accounting books of the Ministry of Accounts, and the surplus is only a million taels, which is very tight!"

"In addition, the eldest son of the emperor is a deaf-mute."

"Think about it, at the enthronement ceremony, he couldn't recite the sacrificial rites, nor could he say words of hope and encouragement to the officials."

"It's impossible to hold a silent enthronement ceremony."

"Instead of this, it's better to avoid the rules, which not only saves a lot of money, but also avoids the embarrassment of the new emperor when he ascends the throne."

"Since he can't speak, it's better to just sit on the throne in silence and be the emperor quietly. I think it's better."

After a pause, Wen Zhuyu also stood up, walked out of the pavilion in two steps, and stood on the Jiuqu corridor.

"As for the battle at Wuya Pass, Yan Jidao will definitely go all out for his Yan Mansion. As for the ending... At worst, we will temporarily use the Yudan River as the boundary."

"wait!"

"After the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne, he will issue a decree to calm the people, and tell the people of Ningguo that the policy of the regent will not change."

"Wait for Ningguo to recuperate for a few years."

"As for Changle Palace, that place is an empty city. The regent's intention was to...sell the house of Changle Palace!"

"He said that if he wants to sell the house in Changle Palace, he must make Changle Palace prosperous. Only in this way will a large number of rich people take the initiative to buy it."

Nian Chengfeng was startled, his old eyes widened, "Sell the house?"

"How to make Changle Palace extremely prosperous?"

Wen Zhuyu stroked his short beard and smiled slightly, and said three words: "Move to the palace!"

Nian Chengfeng was taken aback!

"Move the imperial palace to Changle Palace?"

"That's right, although Changle Palace is much smaller than Yujing City, Changle Palace is also well-equipped, and it also has a majestic palace!"

Nian Chengfeng was dumbfounded, and after a while he said:
"It takes a lot of time to move to the palace, and it also requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources!"

"The autumn will be held soon, even if we start to move now, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Wen Zhuyu waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's not moving now, but just to let the wind out!"

"The regent said that after the news was released, it is estimated that not only the merchants in Yujing City will go to Changle Palace to buy houses, but all the rich people in Ningguo will probably go to Changle Palace."

"The new capital!"

"Living in Changle City, being closer to the imperial palace, can better demonstrate their identities."

"No, the eldest son of the emperor is about to arrive in the capital. After the eldest son of the emperor rests in the capital for two days, he will be sent to Changle Palace!"

"In this way, the news can be confirmed. Just wait, those who go to Changle Palace to buy a house will break through the threshold of the house sales department that will be established by the household department!"

Can there be such an operation?

Nian Chengfeng couldn't believe it, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was very possible.

Rich businessmen care more about their social status.

Now the streets and alleys of Yujing City are full of people, and the business circle of Yujing City has also been formed.

It is extremely difficult for outside businessmen to come in.

But Changle Palace is a new place. If it becomes the political center of Ningguo, then living in Changle Palace means that you will be closer to the political center and the high-ranking officials in the temple.

Once you have your own house in Changle Palace, you can communicate with the merchants in Changle Palace, so as to join this circle and form a new business circle.

This is a great opportunity for many businessmen!

It can be predicted that Changle Palace will be more prosperous than Yujing City in the future.

As for the size of the city, it doesn't really matter.

As long as capital pours in, Changle Palace is located on Qishuiyuan under Dongshan Mountain. Qishuiyuan is very vast, and it has an excellent geographical advantage to expand Changle Palace.

It is even possible that in the future, Changle Palace and Yujing City will be connected together and become a huge and powerful city.

This move should be able to alleviate the lack of money in the household department, or allow Ningguo to tide over the most difficult two years.

Wen Zhuyu shook his fan and said:

"The regent set Qiu Wei in Changle Palace to create a cultural atmosphere in Changle Palace."

"The regent said that after taking back the eldest son of the emperor, he would invite the eldest son to ascend the throne as emperor in Changle Palace. This is to create a political atmosphere in Changle Palace."

"Let's spread some news. The merchants have the keenest sense of smell. Old people, don't worry. The Regent has already made these arrangements in advance. Let's just follow his plan."

Nian Chengfeng nodded slightly, "Then about Yu Wenfeng's ascension to the throne...?"

Wen Zhuyu smiled and said: "Since the eldest son of the emperor is coming back soon, it is best for him to go."

After saying this, Wen Zhuyu looked up at the dark night sky again, "Marquis Dingguo has returned to the capital, I want to go to Dingguohou's mansion tomorrow, shall we invite Su Yi'an to go with us?"

"What are you going to do?"

"How about asking this old Hou Ye to be the general of our Ning country?"
