Chapter 829 Get a Map of the Capital
Chapter 829: Let’s take a map of the capital
The explosions were made in the place where the Ministry of Works Camp in the suburbs of Beijing were more and more frequent, and the people in the capital also smelled a little uneasy. They sat in the teahouse and whispered, and would ask if they saw the newspaper.
The newspaper staff said, "This newly developed firearm will definitely be lively for a while. It's nothing strange. With such a big battle, if it is definitely a powerful firearm, then no one dares to provoke us."
"Everyone keeps his heart in his stomach, and the sky is falling and there is still a tall man holding on to him."
Everyone in the newspaper office said this, and everyone was relieved. After all, if there was something to do, the newspaper office would definitely say it. Even if there was still some uneasy, they could only keep their heart in their stomachs for the time being. After all, the newspaper office was right, and there were tall men who were facing the sky, so it would be useless for them to worry about it.
The people still make a living every day. As long as there is no war, they can make a living, and they cannot care about major affairs of the court.
What the people didn't know was that now all the departments of the court unconditionally supported the Ministry of Works, asking people to give them things and things, and implementing the emperor's words "at any cost" vividly. The Ministry of Works also sacrificed its lives. Within a day, three craftsmen fainted next to the red cannon of Shenwu, and finally even Lord Wei fainted.
Lord Wei fainted and everyone was not panicked. He carried the person aside and invited the imperial physician to see him. The rest should do whatever they should do.
Under this situation, in early April, ten red-clothed cannons of Shenwu and five hundred shells were finally made. General Xiao, a military general in the court, personally brought his men to the front line. Three imperial physicians and fifteen selected civil servants were accompanied.
The whole court was busy, and Wen Mianmian was busy. Huabanli set up a construction workshop. In addition to the people introduced by the two old men, Wen Mianmian also recruited some people through the newspaper office. Her usual philosophy is to wait for work, and she must not wait for work.
Now that the person is here, there is no work yet, she can only find the two old men with a big belly to see how the drawings of the expansion of the capital were designed.
"This drawing cannot be released for less than half a year. It is too complicated. After the overall drawing is released, you have to produce underground drainage drawings. Then you have to take this opportunity to improve the existing underground drainage structure. It is expected that construction will be started only next year."
The establishment of the construction workshop was proposed by two old men. Now it has been established but there is no work to do. I feel a little apologized. Fortunately, Wen Mianmian can understand their current difficulties and problems. Now they are building a city, and there are countless streets involved, so it is normal that they don’t do it quickly.
"Can you book a hotel in Mu Mansion go out?"
"I've got it out."
Mr. Zhao thought about it, "The head office of Tianhai Xinchang was booked by the Ma Family Construction Workshop, but the Ma Family Construction Workshop still has work in the long-term. You can tell them that you can share some work, so you can speed up."
Wen Mianmian shook her head, and she wrapped it all out and made people vomit it out. Even relatives couldn't speak. "I remember last time that there was a street that was more dilapidated than the original Tida Lane. The houses were supported by wooden sticks. I envy the people in Tida Lane who could use the money to move in a good house?"
"It's Qinglian Lane."
Mr. Zhao rubbed his hands, "I think I can take down Qinglian Lane. That place is too broken, even more dilapidated than Dida Lane. There are not many people living there. Anyone with some conditions moved away, so it is relatively easy to compensate."
"The only bad thing is that the area is a bit dilapidated. It is probably difficult to sell if the house is built."
Wen Mianmian thought about it for a while and said she wanted to go and take a look, "If it is suitable, you don't have to build a house. What about the kind of house that comes with shops?"
"I'll know when I'm going to see it."
The manager of Huabanli's workshop was named Zhu. The two old men jointly recommended him, saying that he was a good at building a house. He was familiar with many material dealers. He was upright and clean. Wen Mianmian asked Hua Jingyun to help him take a look. Hua Jingyun brought the person back to the royal palace. Wen Mianmian settled after seeing it.
"Princess, it's better for my subordinates to take people to see it. The reason why Qinglian Lane is called Qinglian Lane is not because there are lotus flowers, because there are lotus moss and the ground is very slippery. It's really inconvenient and dangerous for you to do this."
Wen Mianmian shook her head and said that she had to take a look at everything herself, "If it's right, it's a hundred thousand taels of investment, and I must take a look. Don't worry, I will be careful."
Manager Zhu had no choice but to go with her, and the two old men also wanted to go together.
What was better than expected was that the rain had been less since last winter. This year, there were only two rains in the beginning of spring, and it was not heavy. The moss in Qinglian Lane was not rampant and the carriage could not enter. Nianxia and others helped Wen Mianmian for a while, and then retreated. It was really that there was an alley in the alley, like a maze. Not everyone who was familiar with this place would be lost in it.
I don’t know if the house is too dilapidated and the smell here is not good. Wen Mianmian, who is full of confidence, can only announce his withdrawal. Before she came out, she thought of one thing that she didn’t have a detailed map of the capital in her hand, which is really inconvenient.
When I returned to the mansion, I gathered people from all over the mansion, each with a piece of paper and a charcoal pen. I went out with the royal palace as the starting point. Everyone walked a different path and drew all the windings of the road and the houses and shops on both sides. At least the names of the mansion and shops are needed. After returning every day, I will summarize them and make sure to draw a map of the overall situation of the capital.
This is a huge project. Thirty people out every day are not enough. I borrowed twenty people from the general's mansion. It took 10 days for fifty people to gather a map of the capital. It is difficult for the two mansions to not attract the attention of other mansions. Many people are secretly inquiring about what the royal mansion is going to do?
Hua Jingyun was already stunned when he saw the huge base map in the study, "Is this the base map of the capital?"
"How about it?"
Wen Mianmian stood beside the bottom map with her belly holding her stomach, "I asked someone to go to the easy-to-storage paper. I will reduce the proportion to the size of this desk tomorrow. I am going to take down Qinglian Lane for renovation. Look, it's here."
With the map in hand, the layout of the capital is so clear at a glance, so convenient that it is not to be ignored.
Hua Jingyun looked at the map carefully, and all the familiar streets and shops could be found on it, giving a feeling of "everything in my hands".
"Madam, great talent."
Wen Mianmian smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, and felt quite accomplished. "Tomorrow I'll let me draw a picture and you'll bring it to your father so that you can't help but think we're going to rebel."
Hua Jingyun smiled helplessly, "I really dare to say anything."
