After the immortal disappeared

He laughed: "If Tianshui City expands, I want to move out no matter what the price of the new house is!"

In the past, he would not have the right to speak in front of so many princes and nobles? But he spoke next to He Xiao, and after several times, others did not find it abrupt.

Gu Xuan also said: "Yes, this flood has been flooding for decades, and it cannot be changed! When the flood season comes, the water from rivers and lakes will flow back into the house."

He Lingchuan had collected this information a long time ago, but at this time he was confused and surprised: "Then expand it, is there anything taboo? Yaoguo is strong and the treasury is full. Isn't it easy to expand the capital?"

Zhang Shan waved his hand: "Big things have big difficulties. You don't know that our treasury has been in deficit for years. The accounts in the past six years have not been positive."

This is not a secret, there is nothing that cannot be said.

He Lingchuan was shocked: "No, right? Yao country is still in deficit, so can other countries in the Golden Plain survive?"

"Such a big country, there are too many places to spend money." Zhang Shan pointed at Gu Xuan, "You will know if you ask them. The deficit of the treasury does not necessarily mean that people's livelihood is declining. However, many new big jobs cannot be done. A project as big as the expansion of Tianshui City is a bottomless pit that swallows money. No matter how much money is invested, it can't be filled. You say, can Wang Ting not hesitate?"

When he said "bottomless pit", everyone present understood what he meant.

"It will be expanded anyway, it's better to expand early than late." A few more years later, the treasury will be more and more in deficit.

Of course, He Lingchuan didn't say what he was thinking, but smiled and said: "Since it has been discussed many times, is there a direction for the expansion plan?"

"There are several plans, roughly divided into three directions: west, east, and north, all of which have conditions for expansion."

Youhu is east of Tianshui City. He Lingchuan picked a bunch of grapes and washed them in the golden basin beside the table: "Which plan does the king prefer?"

"Originally, I thought about going west, but recently we have been discussing the possibility of expanding eastward."

To the east? "Is it related to Youhu?"

Zhang Shan laughed and scolded: "You are narcissistic!"

But he did not deny it.

The south bank of Youhu is being developed. It is very popular now and will become a place where officials and nobles gather in the future. If Tianshui City expands there, it will have a good foundation.

"Do you all agree to expand eastward?"

"Fifty percent of the participants agreed, 20% opposed, and the rest did not express their opinions. Compared with previous meetings, this ratio is already amazing." Of course, the decision-making power lies with King Yao.

He Lingchuan smiled, knowing very well why the court officials suddenly changed their attitude:

Many of these people have already purchased the houses in Youhu Villa.

In order to maintain the value of the properties they bought at a high price, they also hope that Tianshui City will expand eastward and include the entire Youhu.

This is the so-called XX decision head.

"Where is the regent?" Qingyang would never be absent from important court meetings.

"The regent opposed it, believing that it would be a waste of money and labor, and that it was not appropriate to build a large-scale project when the treasury was empty. This was also the reason given by other opponents."

He Lingchuan picked a grape and ate it. Hmm, it was sour and sweet and very tasty.

He was thinking, why did Qingyang oppose the expansion of Tianshui City?

On the surface, this matter did not do any harm to Qingyang, and it did not even have any substantial relationship with her.

Did she oppose it just for the sake of opposing it, to make things difficult for King Yao?

Political struggles are like this. Sometimes you may not benefit yourself, as long as your opponent suffers.

After all, the struggle between Qingyang and King Yao, or the tug-of-war between Beijia and the Yao Kingdom, should be multifaceted.

He Lingchuan smiled on the surface: "Waste of time and money? Believe it or not, if I were in charge of the expansion of Tianshui City, I wouldn't have to worry about the problem of insufficient funds, and I could even fill up the treasury!"

Zhang Shan didn't believe it at all, pointing at him and laughing: "Big talk! Island Master He, have you drunk too much?"

"I'm serious." He Lingchuan pointed to the east, "Look at how much it cost to build Youhu Villa, how much have I earned?"

Everyone knows the price he paid for the land, a mere 1,000 taels.

Even if most of the profit has to be handed over, there is still 30% left in his hands in the end!

He earns in a month, which is equivalent to the money that others earn in ten lives, which is almost like making money out of nothing.

Zhang Shan and other famous children took stock afterwards, and if only they could think of this trick, it would be really not difficult to implement.

Zhang Shan whispered, "Brother He, do you mean that Tianshui City will also expand eastward in this way?"

"Yes, pre-sale." He Lingchuan smiled, "Isn't it that I collect your money first, and then build a house for you? There is no need to advance money at all! It doesn't matter how much silver I have in my pocket, even if it's only ten coins, I dare to take this project!"

He leaned forward: "If Tianshui City expands eastward in this way, why do we need to use the money from the national treasury? Whether the national treasury is in deficit or profit, what does it have to do with the eastward expansion of the capital?"

Zhang Shan and Gu Xuan's eyes flashed, and they almost said "The king thinks so too."

If King Yao hadn't seen He Lingchuan's method of getting something for nothing, how could he have planned to expand the city eastward?

He Lingchuan smiled again, "Tianshui City is full of refugees, which is also a security risk. Once the eastward expansion project starts, the laborers will be driven to work. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

It not only eliminates security risks, but also utilizes foreign labor.

Zhang Shan glanced at Gu Xuan, who immediately asked, "But how should we do it specifically?"

"The solution is not difficult, but I have to think about it carefully." How could He Lingchuan reveal everything? "The expansion of the capital is a big project, not a small project like Youhu Villa. There are too many things to consider."

Zhang Shan also knew that he didn't want to talk, so he changed the subject and talked about the war on the Shining Gold Plain.

"It seems that few people mention the eastern and northern parts of the Shining Gold Plain?" He Lingchuan was curious, "It's like this in the Allied Territory, and it's also like this in Yao Country, why?"

"The eastern part of Shining Gold is a wild land, and the tribes there even have the habit of cannibalism. Because there are no valuable mineral deposits there, the Shining Gold Empire a thousand years ago also let the eastern part go its own way." Yuwen Xu explained, "As for the northern part of Shining Gold, it is a paradise for monsters, rarely visited, and the weather is cold. These countries on the plains are also unable to expand northward, so the northern part of Shining Gold maintains the status quo."

"I see." It was similar to the information Yang Shan had inquired about, nothing new.

It seems that Yao Country has no interest in these two places.

At this time, the Qing Palace sent someone to find the second son. Zhang Shan toasted He Lingchuan with a glass of wine, and then left early.

After he left, everyone continued to drink and chatted more openly.

He Lingchuan then asked about the Flying Flower Festival again, and Gu Xuan smiled and said, "It's such a pity that Brother He didn't come when it was so lively."
