Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 8 Yu Wenkai

It was already sunset when I returned home. Yang Su went back, but Li Jing stayed at home. He was still waiting for Yang Guang's answer about Daxing City.

When Yang Guang entered the house, he said: "It's getting late, let's have dinner first."

The maids filed in, each carrying a dish and placed it on the table in front of Yang Guang. These dishes were all enjoyed by Yang Guang alone, and the table was full of delicacies.

The new dynasty has just been established, it’s too much!

Capitalism in feudal society is really poisonous to people's hearts, and Yang Guang started to eat it.

The dishes of this era are actually poor in taste, but the freshest and best ingredients that come to the Jin Palace are all based on the original taste of the ingredients. Yang Guang is thinking about when he will make a big voyage and bring things like peppers with him. Come back, otherwise he who likes spicy food would really feel a little tasteless.

With this thought in mind, I immediately warned myself: "Don't rush, don't rush, you have to be patient first."

Li Jing finally found the opportunity to ask: "Your Highness, you haven't answered my question yet."

"Xiao Li, do you know what official title my father gave me when I entered the palace today?"

Li Jing looked puzzled.

"Father, let me take over the Daxing City project."

Li Jing was astonished, and Yang Guang, the civil and military masters, were also surprised. Wang Shao immediately persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Daxing City has mobilized all the troops, but the ministers are opposed to it. You have to think carefully about such a thing."

Yang Guang also told a group of people what he had said in the palace today. Their eyes widened immediately and they couldn't believe it.

Wang Shao said blankly: "Is it really possible to collect money first without giving anything to others? Isn't this fraud?"

Li Che's eyes were empty: "School district housing, are vendors and people really willing to pay for this thing?"

Li Jing frowned and thought deeply: "Your Highness has a good plan!"

"Oh? What do you say?"

"It seems like I'll collect the money first and then give you the house, but it's actually to test the loyalty of all the pillars. If you are loyal to His Majesty, you have to step in even if you know it's a trap. It can be called a top-notch conspiracy."

Huh!I didn't expect that, but I didn't mean it. Aren't you just making false accusations with empty words?Am I such a shady old coin?

Li Jing continued: "As for housing in the school district, His Highness has a far-reaching strategy. Not only has the value of the housing lots in the city been increased out of thin air, but he can also stipulate that three generations of the family of those who violate the law will not be allowed to attend school. This can solve a large part of the public security problems, and it is One apartment may be their family's lifetime income, and then they will all be trapped in this city, and they will become law-abiding, hard-working people, with stable public security and economic development. His Highness's mind is really strange."

Huh!Huh!Is this something that can be said?I really didn’t mean that. What you said is slander, but it is slander.

Li Jing blindly analyzed these things from his own perspective, and Yang Guang thought that maybe Yang Jian thought the same way.

"Li Jing, I am very curious as to why you are so concerned about Daxing City."

Young Li Jing's eyes were unusually firm: "If your Majesty builds Daxing City, I feel that your Majesty intends to unify the Central Plains."

"Why do you say that?"

"Ambitious and decisive against all opinions." Yang Guang judged that Li Jing was not talking nonsense. This kid will be a talent in the future, and he can analyze things logically at a young age.

"Li Jing, what do you think? Are you willing to stay in my palace?"

"Yes, but can I eat these things on the table?" Li Jing swallowed as he spoke.

Unexpectedly, the Tang Dynasty Military God was still a foodie. Yang Guang waved his hand: "Since you will be in my palace from now on, then you can eat at the same table with me."

Before Wang Shao and Li Che could speak to dissuade him, Li Jing had already sat down and started eating. The two of them had no choice but to shake their heads. They saw Li Jing's intelligence and intelligence, and some children at this age have normal personalities.

……

Early the next morning, the prince's life was not as comfortable as he imagined. He was called up early in the morning to study, but Li Jing studied very hard.

After a while, his savior arrived, Yu Wenkai came to see him.

When guests came, he didn't need to study for a while. Yang Guang ran to see Yu Wenkai in a hurry.

Yu Wenkai, as you can tell from this surname, his family name. Yang Jian came to power and wiped out the remaining forces of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Yu Wen Kai was also included in the list of executions. Because the Yu Wen Kai family was different from the Northern Zhou clan, his second brother Yu Wenxin supported Yang Jian. Because of his meritorious service and the fact that his talent was highly appreciated by Yang Jian, he was spared death and the planning work of building Daxing City was also handed over to him.

Yu Wenkai was an outstanding architect and urban planning expert in ancient times. He planned and built Daxing City. He led the men to dig the Guangtong Canal. He was also ordered to build the future Eastern Capital of Luoyang. He also built the national granary. It is often passed around on social networks, and the food in the granary was eaten by the national granary of the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that Yu Wenkai represents the best construction technology and planning level of the Sui Dynasty in this era, or it can be said that the best architect in the world in this era. Western architecture in this era is incomparable with ours.

Now Yu Wenkai is only 26 years old. When Yang Guang first saw him, he thought he had a very typical appearance of a gentle scholar, with slightly darker skin and a medium and thin build.

"My humble minister Yu Wenkai, please see His Royal Highness the King of Jin."

"There's no need to be too polite. Father should have told you everything."

"His Majesty has already explained to me about His Highness's plan for Daxing City yesterday, and I was shocked when I heard it."

"There will be a lot of exchanges between you and me in the future. I will supervise the construction of Daxing City as you planned it. There will be no need for false courtesy, and there is no need for unnecessary flattery between you and me."

Yu Wenkai said respectfully: "What I just said is not flattery."

"Okay, what do you think about my opinion yesterday?"

Yu Wenkai slowly spread out a drawing on the table: "Your Highness, King Jin, this is a drainage drawing. The idea of ​​building drainage under Daxing City coincided with that of Your Highness. At the beginning of the planning, Wei Chen made one, but the cost was too high, and the ministers in the court were already opposed to it, so Wei Chen did not dare to take out the drawing."

Seeing this drawing, Yang Guang felt happy in his heart. Yu Wenkai was indeed the one with the highest architectural talent. He had thought about this advanced thing, but it was not in line with the current reality. The sewage produced by everyone in his plan was Discharged into sewage pipes, limited by current technology and knowledge, is collected by night incense collectors or residents themselves and poured into fixed locations.

After reading this, Yang Guang shook his head and said, "This is not enough. We need to lay drainage pipes underground in each building. I have a new way of using the toilet."

"Ah? Your Highness, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, yes, you will arrange for two craftsmen with good skills that you are familiar with to come to my house. I will try my best to finish it within one day. Come and see, this is also an important tool that is indispensable for cooperating with the sewage drainage system. As long as this thing can be completed, the future Daxing City will definitely be clean and tidy, and even if it can accommodate a million people, it will never be as dirty as the current old Chang'an."
