The entire community was built in batches, and the first batch of houses naturally had to be allocated to the residents involved in the demolition area.

And the newly built houses in the future will be sold or rented, providing a place for ordinary people who come to Qingzhou City to settle down.

Because the houses here, whether bought or rented, are relatively affordable.

This is a good choice for the people who have just arrived in Qingzhou City and have no money on hand, which can help them quickly establish a foothold in Qingzhou City.

The first batch of houses have been completed, and the silver for building the Qi Wang Mansion has not been disbursed yet.

The Marquis of Jiangyin has been staying in Qingzhou City for several months now and is starting to get angry.

I have submitted several memorials to Zhu Yuanzhang in a row, but haven't received a single reply!

The old man knew in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang was dragging on!

The last memorial, this old man can be described as sincere in his words. The general meaning is that as I get older and don't know how many years I can live, my only wish is for my son and daughter to get married soon. You can enjoy your own retirement and play with your children and grandchildren.

Then, I recalled my entire life of following Zhu Yuanzhang in the military. The implication was that I risked my life for the Zhu family, without any credit or hard work. If we don't quickly allocate silver and build the Qi Wang Mansion, so that His Royal Highness the Qi Prince can marry his daughter, even the old officials will feel a little cold hearted!

What Zhu Yuanzhang did this time was indeed somewhat inappropriate, but he also had his own difficulties. He was not in charge, did not know the high cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt, did not govern the country, and did not know how scarce the national treasury was.

Firstly, there is still a proliferation of Japanese pirates along the southeast coast, and there is a constant need to send troops to eradicate them. These Japanese invaders make it impossible for the court to defend against them, just like leeks, cutting one crop and sprouting another!

Another region with frequent wars is the Yungui River area. Especially in Guizhou, when you open the historical records of Guizhou, only three words are reflected in front of you: blood and fire! During the 276 year reign of the Ming Dynasty, Guizhou was at war for 145 years!

The King of Liang in Yunnan relied on his high mountains and long roads to conquer the southwest and refused to surrender.

Playing small games will definitely not be able to conquer the southwest. In order to achieve the unification of the country, there will inevitably be a big war sooner or later.

In fact, in September two years later, Zhu Yuanzhang will deploy 300000 troops to launch a western expedition, completely incorporating the southwestern region into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The south remains calm, and the same goes for the north. The army of the Ming Dynasty only expelled the Yuan Dynasty from the Central Plains, but did not completely eliminate it. The Northern Yuan Dynasty, which occupied the Mongolian grasslands, remained rampant and kept people awake at night!

In the vast areas of northern and western regions, they have not yet been controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty went through more than 20 years of war before finally achieving reunification, and now it is only the twelfth year of the Hongwu reign.

And war is the most costly!

In addition, the domestic governance costs are quite high, including military expenses, official expenses, and the construction of various road and water conservancy projects. And to deal with natural disasters of all sizes, which one doesn't cost money? To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang, as an emperor, didn't feel comfortable.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was not the only son of the Seventh Prince, and he was not the only one who needed to get married and build a royal palace.

In recent years, Zhu Di's court has gradually become a climate, posing a certain threat to Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang was already pondering and wanted to drive Zhu Di to the fiefdom and fiefdom. He also needed to build a palace on his side!

If Jiangyin Marquis hadn't spoken so bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang would have planned to delay for another month or two.

Even if silver taels are allowed, the first batch of silver taels is only a mere ten thousand taels!

In his reply to the memorial of the Marquis of Jiangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang's intention was to build first, so that this year's royal tax would not need to be submitted to the court. In addition, the salt introduction brought by the Marquis of Jiangyin could also help His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi earn some silver, and the subsequent funds would be received as soon as possible.

After receiving the memorial, the Marquis of Jiangyin almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Your Majesty killed an old minister! What can ten thousand taels of silver do

To put it bluntly, even some wealthy businessmen and tycoons near Qingzhou City have built mansions that cost thousands of taels of silver.

Nowadays, Qingzhou City is thriving, and many wealthy merchants have moved to Qingzhou City to establish their own businesses. Some people have built houses outside Qingzhou City, which cost nearly ten thousand taels of silver!

Prince Qi, but the Seventh Prince! The building is not a mansion for wealthy merchants and landlords, but a royal palace!

After waiting for so long, Zhu Yuanzhang actually only approved 10000 taels of silver?!

If there is less silver, it will inevitably slow down the construction progress of the palace.

The time for his daughter to marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi will inevitably be pushed back and forth.

It's strange that the Marquis of Jiangyin is not angry in his heart.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhan smiled and comforted, "Father in law, please don't get angry. The court is currently using military force against the outside world, and the national treasury is in short supply. It's understandable. Having ten thousand taels of silver is better than not having it at all

The Marquis of Jiangyin sighed and said, "Your Highness Prince Qi, you probably don't know that the palace on the Fourth Prince's side has already started construction. Your Majesty, you are biased

Zhu Zhan also sighed inwardly. This was an unavoidable situation. As the Seventh Prince, in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he was naturally inferior to Yan King Zhu Di.

Zhu Xuan said to the old servant next to him, "Go and bring the snacks recently launched by our Taibai Restaurant to the Marquis of Jiangyin."

Yes, Your Highness

Subsequently, Zhu Cha continued to say to the Marquis of Jiangyin, "Although we start construction first, the industries I have set up in Qingzhou have basically spread out, and the amount of silver flowing in every day is not small. Apart from building official roads to build the royal palace, I think we can also cope with it

Jiangyin Marquis widened his eyes in disbelief.

The specifications of the royal palace are extremely large, and it cannot be handled with just a few tens of thousands of taels of silver. Your Highness, do not joke about this matter. Once construction begins, it is not easy to stop in the middle, otherwise, it will spread and only make a joke

The proud prince cannot even afford a place to live. If it were to spread, it would be a huge joke.

The Marquis of Jiangyin couldn't believe that Zhu Cha had so much money, because shortly after Zhu Cha arrived in Qingzhou City, he chased after him from the capital without stopping.

He knew that Zhu Cha had not stopped when he arrived in Qingzhou City, and had been tinkering with some industries, especially selling salt, with great fanfare. He heard that caravans were spread throughout the land of Qilu.

In just a few months, even if you make money again, how much can you earn?

Moreover, he also paid out of his own pocket and was ordered to build roads. Now, the asphalt road, which has already been built in Qingzhou City, has begun to expand to the official roads outside the city.

He has also seen the construction process of asphalt roads, which is relatively complicated and requires a lot of materials. It is estimated that a considerable amount of silver was spent.

How could His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi have any spare money to build a palace with such a massive project in front of him?

The Marquis of Jiangyin thought that Zhu Zhan did not know how terrifying it was to spend two taels of silver to build the palace, so he specifically reminded him.

Zhu Zhan patted the back of Jiangyin Marquis's hand and said, "Father in law, don't worry. Since I dare to say this, I am naturally confident. You, just supervise the construction, I will take care of the silver. You can use these flying coins for now

Jiangyin Hou took a thick stack of bills and opened them. Wow, a whopping 100000 taels of silver!

100000 taels?! "Jiangyin Marquis couldn't help but take a cold breath and looked at Zhu Cha with new eyes!
