Chapter 1335 Sanzhou Palace

"Go on, why don't you go?"

The land and private gardens around Tsinghua Garden were purchased by the emperor, and a new palace was planned to be built, named Sanzhou Palace.

The palace occupies a large area and employs a large number of people. So far, only a simple and simple hall has just been repaired. The work of opening canals and diverting water is under construction. The whole project is huge. The emperor plans to allocate 12 yuan each year from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the internal treasury for the next 10 years. Two, 15 taels, 40 taels, a total of 780 million taels were used to build the Sanzhou Palace.

Of course, this was only Wanli's own plan. It was not 78 taels, but 780 million taels of silver. He dared not tell the public about such a huge amount.

The saliva of the ministers will drown him.

So he secretly repaired it, only asked the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry for a year's payment, and took out a lot of money from the internal treasury, and started the construction secretly first.

As for the money for next year, I will ask for it next year.

And proud of his own intelligence.

'Didn't Jing Haibo have a five-year plan?I have a 12-year plan, longer than him. '

According to Wanli, the main expenses of the Sanzhou Palace are not in the palace. In terms of terrain transformation, the biggest project today is to dig a large canal six miles from east to west and three miles from north to south according to the design drawings to enclose the entire Sanzhou Palace. Water cannot be released from the Yongding River.

Wanli estimated that the release of water would take seven or eight years.

This is what he considered. This big project will definitely cost more than 600 million taels, but his internal treasury's ability to make money has been increasing. It may take 12 years at the beginning, but maybe with the efforts of all the officials, it will be completed in six years. fixed.

There is a saying that people sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky. Chen Mu never thought that Wanli built a big toy in the western suburbs of Beijing because of him.

He wrote to the emperor to build a museum, and sent back the national treasures and relics in the East to Wanli.

Wanli thinks this is called the meeting of two wisdoms, and he also thinks it is very good to build a museum.

But what exactly is a museum?Wanli doesn't know.

He understands natural things, but there are many things.

What is the most museum-like thing in Wanli's mind?
It is the underground palace of Qin Shihuang, which is recorded in the historical records, with mercury as the rivers and seas.

It is said that there is Xianyang where the first emperor lived in the underground palace.

In Wanli's eyes, it is a museum, but it is an underground palace, not for living people to see. What can he do?

He built a museum on the ground and put the world in it.

Divert the river water into the sea, designate the Xizhou, Zhongzhou, and Dongzhou, realize the islands of Xinming, Japan, and Luzon, control the heights according to the military map, set up mountains and rivers, plant flowers and trees in the world, make cities and fill the treasures of the countries, and form the three continents palace.

In this way, the emperor can look at the world from the top of Xiangshan.

The cost is indeed a bit too much, Wanli himself thinks it is too much... When his empire is spending money, his own internal treasury is also spending a lot of money.

The incompatibility between the external environment and the good hopes of the inner world has led to very little progress in the so-called Sanzhou Palace. He doesn't even dare to recruit craftsmen, so what progress can he expect?

He even rejected the courtier's suggestion that he should build a mausoleum for him, and said that it would be built exactly according to Lord Jiajing's mausoleum.

Wanli looked at it, oh my god, I still have a budget of 800 million taels, but let’s put it down, I can’t spend that much money when I’m alive, and it takes so much effort to sleep here!
He said that I am still young, and I am in good health. Six books tied together are equivalent to my age. Eighteen can't beat me alone. Just sleep with the first emperor.

The matter of burying Wanli and Longqing together is a joke to the ministers. From the Ming Dynasty to the present, it is the time when Wenzhiwugong is at its peak, and there is no emperor who does not build a mausoleum.

What really convinced the ministers and made them reluctant to give up was the changes that Wanli said had not happened in a thousand years. Think about it too, who can say for sure what the map of the world will look like in a few years?
Of course, in terms of economic accounts, the ministers still hope that Wanli will build the mausoleum now.

Now it can still be repaired according to the specification of 800 million. Maybe the emperor will be ambitious in a few years, and the budget should be raised to 800 million?
Actually, everyone thought about it later... According to the current financial revenue of the empire, it is 800 million.

It's not impossible.

But this is absolutely impossible in Wanli's eyes. He feels that he is very poor now, and he will stare at anyone who asks him for money. He is not happy to pay 800 million or 180 million to build a mausoleum.

On the other hand, the Imperial Forest Army and Jin Yiwei glued sand tables together in the Ligong Bieyuan on Xiangshan Mountain, and made him a large-scale design drawing at a cost of 32 taels, which won the Sacred Heart.

In a short time, the little master Wanli could only be happy with the sand table.

Now that the construction of Sanzhou Palace has started, Wanli has no place to go for a while, so he can only stay in the Forbidden City on weekdays, and go to the other courtyard of the Xiangshan Palace every once in a while to relax, and look at the sand table design drawing.

Even if this sand table design is a substandard product.

This is a world sand table made according to the known world of Ming Dynasty. What is known means that there are still unknowns. Therefore, except for the coastal areas to the west of the Western Regions, a large area is still blank. It is just to outline the shape of the coast with water, and simply use dyes to paint on the sand. .

Even the southern jungles in Eastern Asia are green with uniform heights, and there is only a small gap in the west. It is the way Lu Feng, the commander of the Rio Guards, led the army to seek help from the local people, and entered the jungle to chase the Portuguese slave traders.

Bronze labels were affixed to the sand table design drawings, marking the known information such as local customs, climate and environment, and the king's military strength. Wanli added whatever he thought of.

Because he has two passive skills of 'careful calculation' and 'little money fan', and has been influenced by the 'big money fan' Chen Mu all his life, building a mausoleum, which is the top priority of an emperor's life, can no longer tempt him.

In his eyes, projects that can make money and make profits are good projects, and those that cannot make money are losses. Even if it is just for personal hobbies, it must at least get back its capital.

Therefore, in his design concept, this Sanzhou Palace is not only a large royal garden and royal museum for spending money, but also has other functions, which are either profitable or beneficial.

It is a bit difficult for Wanli to make money from this thing, but the easiest way to make a profit is to train the next generation-this is a large teaching tool.

As the teacher of elementary school students, military generals, and civil officials in the future, the young master Wanli, who is a model teacher, easily thought of this role. When the Sanzhou Palace is completed, it will be able to provide royal descendants and talented scholars with an understanding of the world.

In this way, the simulation map that costs a lot of money as a personal hobby has the taste of being successful in the present and benefiting the future.

As for making money, you can choose one month of the year to open the palace, let the people buy tickets to enter, sit on the Ming Dynasty warship sailing into the Yongding River, and board three continents to see the love of the world. Isn't it an experience that makes it easy for people to pay?
But Wanli is still a little anxious right now, the bronze soldiers he put on the sand table didn't move.

The little Wanli bronze figure, which symbolizes the long live army commanded by Dong Yiyuan, stopped in Tubo, and there was a copper cat lying on the shoulder of the bronze figure.

Next to the Long Live Army are the Liangzhou Dama Bronze Figures, which symbolize the West Route Army, and the Wulian Bronze Figure Mandarin Duck Formation in Luntai.

On the left and right of the mandarin duck formation are the bronze men of the Mongolian light army holding small bows and arrows and wearing jackets, and the heavy Mongolian army stuffed in copper armor.

The bronze man Chen Mu in Dongzhou, wearing a bare-shoulder shirt, holding a yellow dog with his left hand and stroking a cannon with his right, has been lying in Mexico for a long time. There is a small copper courtyard next to him, with a small flag that says Ming Dynasty Imperial Clan University , was annotated in small print by Wanli as 'clan clan labor reform camp'.

There is also the Wanli ship swimming in the Xiyi Sea on the sand table, all of which are motionless.

Originally, the latter did not move because of the plague, but Xiao Wanli and Yuanyang Formation had been moving all the time. Now after half a month, they managed to sneak out of the palace to check the progress, but they also stopped moving.

It made Master Wanli very unhappy.
