Chapter 679 (1/2)

Wu Mei took Lizhi's arm with a smile and pulled Lizhi to the sand table again. Then she pointed to the sand table and explained, ”what's the difference between this and the previous one?”

”No, I won't agree. It's nonsense.” Li Zhi's anger didn't disappear. He didn't look at the sand table.

Wu Mei laughingly looked at Li Zhi, who was more and more wayward. She had to sigh and say in warm words: ”now Li Hong has changed his strategy, and the wall will not be demolished.”

As soon as the voice fell, Wu Mei saw Li Zhi's head turned over. She was surprised and asked, ”don't you dismantle it? That is, if he doesn't expand Chang'an City, why do you send a sand table here? ”

”Another outer city will be built to form Chang'an into the outer city, the middle city and the imperial city. Today, the curfew will remain unchanged between Chang'an City and the Imperial City, but there will be no curfew in the outer city, and the whole Qujiang pool will be included in the city...”

”Although there are more people in Chang'an city today, but What is he trying to do? How to guard against and resist foreign enemies when building such a large city? ” Li Zhi shook his head and his eyes finally fell on the sand table.

On the sand table, the entire wall of Chang'an city is kept intact. On the periphery, simple city walls and various residential buildings or buildings have been built. Similar to the eastern and western cities, two more open trade markets are divided.

Even including the relocation of some temples, the expansion of Qujiang pool, etc., the whole Chang'an city looks more magnificent on the sand table.

Compared with these buildings, what surprised Li Zhi even more was that the two-story buildings with different layers were distributed in the south, East and west of Chang'an outer city. Each area was like a delicate garden, and those small buildings were more like the pearl inlaid in it.

Each small building is independent. Compared with the ordinary people's square house in Chang'an, which has a few families and a large courtyard, it obviously increases the privacy and independence, and small gardens are also mined before and after.

Looking at such a building model, Li Zhi is a bit dementia, and even some want to have such a delicate house.

Along with Li Zhi's eyes, Wu Mei's eyes also focused on these unique houses. She explained to Li Zhi: ”these houses are expensive, not ordinary people can move in at will. For all the houses in the outer city, the people in the middle city can replace the original houses, and even there are concessions...”

”What if you want to keep the original house and live in such a chic building?” Li Zhi concentrated on looking at those buildings, looking at the broad road asked.

”Pay for it.” Wu Mei said simply.

”Who is the money for?” Li Zhi's brain turned. It would be in vain if he didn't know Li Hong's tricks to get rich these years.

”Whoever pays will give it to him.” Wu Mei's eyes are also shining.

”And who will pay now?” Lizhi continued.

”Bai Chun, Lan Ling and others have been scrambling to take shares. The Royal Bank, the Ministry of accounts and the Ministry of work have all taken part in the construction of the whole outer city. The Ministry of accounts and the Ministry of work are the main players in the construction of the outer city, but the Royal Bank is the major contributor. Lanling and Baichun want to take shares, but I heard that they have not reached an agreement with the Royal Bank yet.” Wu Mei continued.

”Is Bai Chun behind the Royal Bank? She's still following the blind. What? Lanling and the Royal Bank over the years

”I don't know, but it's said that there are many differences. Although the Royal Bank is behind Bai Chun's background, it takes a share in the name of Taiyi City, but also in the name of Pu Wangfu and Donggong. In short, things are more complicated than I thought.” Wu Mei began to figure out how much profit there was in the end.

How much money did Li Hongcheng earn for example? Just look at how luxurious the Daming Palace is.

Moreover, in recent years, the tax of Hubu has been enough to use the expenditure of the imperial court, and there is no need to borrow money from Taiyi city or the Royal Bank at all. Therefore, in addition to the supervision of manufacturing, the Hubu and the Ministry of labor may find it profitable to invest in shares.

”So the queen means...”
