    Twenty-nine people from Sima Bofang worked overtime day and night. In addition, they asked Zhou Bangyan, a great scholar, to find fifty teachers and students from the Mingshi Department to calculate together. After three days, they finally submitted the design drawings and preliminary budget.  come up;

    They originally designed the outer city to be luxurious according to Yang Yi's guiding ideology of being strong, practical, beautiful, and not saving money.

    The total length of the expanded outer city wall is 69 miles (including the thickness of the city wall), four feet high and 5 feet 9 feet wide, with a parapet built on top.  There are 12 gates in total;

    The main entrance on the south side is designed with five doorways, each doorway is 15 feet 6 inches (about five meters) wide.  The remaining 11 city gates all have three doorways, and each doorway is also 15.6 inches long.

    There is an urn in each city gate. The urn gate is ten feet deep, and an arrow tower or a plaque tower is built above it.  Each archery tower is three stories high, with cornices, brackets, and glazed tiles. It not only has excellent military functions, but also looks majestic and majestic from a distance;

    There are 56 watchtowers and 96 nests (caves built on the city wall for hiding soldiers) on the four sides of the city wall. The horse faces outside the city wall are alternately concave and convex. There are protruding city wall crenellations, 12 on each side, plus 4 corner piers, totaling 52.  ;

    The piers have a trapezoidal structure, and a military control platform is built outside each of the four corner piers. They are five feet six feet wide and five feet long, with a distance of 3 feet from the corner piers.  There are also 36 forts. This is a new initiative. The previous city walls did not have this.

    In terms of materials used for the city wall, the base of the wall is laid with large green strips of stone, and then two layers of large green bricks are built on the outside. This large green brick is one foot three inches long, eight inches wide and four inches thick. It is a large brick specially used for city walls.  ;

    There are three layers of ordinary blue bricks inside.  The bricklaying method is also very particular. The bricklaying method of "three-one-five-one top bar method. Cross riding plum blossom ding" is used. Specifically, a horizontal brick is placed first.  Place two long bricks next to each other and place them in this cycle. The built city wall will have a reasonable structure and a strong fit.

    The middle is enriched with Sanhe soil. The so-called Sanhe soil is a mixture of loess, lime, and river sand. Using this mixed soil, the most solid earth wall can be rammed.

    In addition to the twelve city gates for carriage and horse traffic, there are also five water gates.  A moat ten feet wide must be dug outside the city on all sides.  A retractable suspension bridge is erected over the river.

    In terms of street design, in addition to the three ring-circling avenues required by Yang Yi, there are two avenues 16 feet wide on the east and west sides running through the north and south, and there are three avenues 16 feet wide on the north and south sides running through the east and west.

    The streets inside will vary from seven to ten feet wide depending on actual needs, and all streets will be paved with flat bluestone strips.

    There is a five-foot-wide drainage ditch on both sides of each street.  At the same time, there are two footpaths (sidewalks) each one feet wide. A locust tree is planted every ten feet on the toothpath, and a fire pit for fire protection is set up every one hundred and fifty steps.  There is a small garbage recycling station every fifty steps.

    The total budget is 88.76 million yuan. Of course, this is only the budget and will not be completed until it is completed.  It may be possible to save some, or it may be increased, after all, it is such a big project.  The prices of various materials and labor also fluctuate, and no one can budget so accurately.

    This is a fresh design drawing.  And the budget amount has not been handed in yet, so I don¡¯t know that Cai Jing is clairvoyant.  Fortunately, he immediately came to the Ministry of Rites. Well, the Ministry of Rites is opposite the Ministry of Rites, just across the imperial street.

    As soon as Cai Da Shangshu entered Yang Yi's signing room, he shouted angrily: "Okay, Yang Renzhi, you want to kill me, okay, okay, okay, okay, I will quit this job as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and let you Yang Renzhi go."  Do it.¡±

    Yang Yi said with a strange look on his face: "Shang Shu Cai, please be careful. It is inappropriate for us to accept the post of a dignified third-grade minister in private like this. Cai Shangshu"

    "Books are bullshit." Mr. Cai, who has always been gentle and elegant, finally couldn't help but cursed, "Yang Renzhi, what do you think I, Mr. Cai, have done wrong to you? Over the years, the imperial court has moved people to Jinghu and Dazhi.  The Yellow River and the development of Lingnan cost money like running water. During this period, you also started wars everywhere. After conquering Xixia, you went to Jiaozhi. After you conquered Jiaozhi, you went to Liao Kingdom. Before the Liao Kingdom was finished, you started wars in the Western Regions.

    ?You feel quite refreshed as you move around in front of you. Do you know how much it costs?  Do you know how much gray Cai¡¯s hair has become?  Even so, judging from past friendships, Cai has never held you back once. Cai has raised enough for you no matter how much food and salary you want. Do you think it will be easy for me?

    ????????????????????????????????????? I finally stopped fighting, but you immediately came up with a budget of 90 million yuan for me. You don¡¯t want Cai to live!

    Yang Renzhi, if you still miss the friendship in the past, you can immediately reduce the budget to less than 30 million yuan. Otherwise, you, Yang Renzhi, will be the Minister of Household Affairs.  "

    Cai Jing really got mad this time and banged Yang Yi's desk. Sima Bofang and others started toCai Jing knew as soon as he entered the house that there was a good show to be seen. Everyone squeezed in the outside room and listened to Cai Jing's words clearly;

    As expected, the desperate Saburo is here, and this time we want to see how Yang Taifu gets rid of him.

    Fortunately, Yang Yi's desk was relatively clean, otherwise he would have been covered in gray when Cai Jing kept patting him. Cai Jing stared at him fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him.

    As for that, it¡¯s not like I¡¯m asking you to pay for it with your family¡¯s money. Yang Yi smiled and said: ¡°Master Cai, Cai Shangshu, please calm down. It¡¯s not as serious as you said. In recent years, the imperial court¡¯s annual income has been as high as 300 million yuan.  Even if the expenditure is huge, there is still a lot of surplus every year. Why should Cai Shangshu be so stingy? Didn't I say it before, if the money from the treasury is not spent, the economy of the Song Dynasty will stagnate"

    "I'm stingy!" Cai Jing's feet seemed to be equipped with springs, and they bounced up instantly. He pointed at Yang Yi and shouted: "You are not a family member and don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. You don't have pain in your back when you stand and talk. What are you Yang Renzhi doing these days?"  Do you know how much you spend every year? Do you want Mr. Cai to calculate it carefully for you"

    "Don't, don't, don't, let's skip this. I only know that with Cai Shangshu here, no matter how many battles we fight and how much money we spend, Cai Shangshu can handle it with ease. You have worked hard and are good at managing money. You are really good at it."  He is a rare pillar of the Song Dynasty and can serve as a model for the ages"

    "You Yang Renzhi, even if you praise Cai, you can't do anything this time. You can reduce it. Immediately, it will be 30 million yuan. Don't even think about an extra penny."

    Yang Yi flattered him, and Cai Jing's expression softened a little.  I'm afraid he felt extremely happy in his heart. He chuckled and said: "Cai Shangshu, please pause your thunderous anger. You have a sip of tea first. I definitely don't mean to embarrass Cai Shangshu this time. Please listen to me to settle the account for you."  , After listening to this, Bao Zhun and Cai Shangshu beamed."

    "I'm smiling? Who do you think Mr. Cai is? Well, okay, Yang Renzhi, if you don't tell me the reason, Mr. Cai will not leave today."

    "Look at what you are saying, Cai Shangshu. What kind of friendship do we have? I can't deliberately embarrass you. Please sit down and sit down. Come on, why don't you serve tea to Cai Shangshu? Everyone is dead." Yang Yi faced the door.  yelled outside.

    ¡°No need to worry, Cai is not here for tea today, please explain your words clearly to me first.¡±

    No matter how angry Cai Jing is, Yang Yi is always smiling.  Now he sat down and said with a comfortable expression: "Shang Shu Cai, please listen to me in detail. This expansion of the capital will require the acquisition of approximately 187,500 acres of land;

    I remember that during the Tiansheng period, the Yongding Mausoleum of Zhenzong was built, occupying 1,800 acres of the old Du Yangui field.  The estimated money is 700 guan, which is an average of 388 guan per mu.  Renzong showed his filial piety to Emperor Zhenzong and the generosity and grace of the royal family.  Raise the price to 1,000 guan, which is 555 wen per mu"

    When Cai Jing heard this, he started to get angry again.  He stood up again and patted the table and said: "Stop talking nonsense, now I will give you the usual money per mu, which is 445 Wen more than before. Yang Renzhi, I will leave the land acquisition to you, how about it?"

    Yang Yi smiled coquettishly again and said: "Well, Cai Shangshu, please don't get excited, don't get excited, let's not count the 555 articles, okay?"

    "Then how much do you want to count?"

    "Well, well, if the court doesn't want to requisition land as usual, we can calculate it based on the market price. Now the price of an acre of dry land near Gyeonggi is three to four thousand dollars, and the best quality farmland is only eight to nine thousand dollars  ¡­.¡±

    Cai Jing interrupted him again and said, "I'll give you ten acres and one acre, and you can try to levy it?"

    The target of this land expropriation is not a rural old man from Gong County, Henan, who can just give it away for a few hundred cash per acre. Ordinary people have no chance of getting a hand on the land near the capital. It is all owned by the princes and nobles. This time the land is to be expropriated.  There are probably no less than a hundred people involved in so many places, including princes and nobles. How can they be so easy to talk to?  It would be strange not to cause an uproar in the palace.

    "Master Cai, Shangshu Cai, don't get excited. Let's not count his ten guan, but his one hundred guan and one mu head office. These 187,500 acres of land are only 20 million guan. Mr. Cai  Don¡¯t forget, the land price in Tokyo is now as high as 4,000 kan per acre;

    We use 20 million to acquire 180,000 acres of land. Excluding the occupation of city walls and streets, we can sell at least 100,000 acres. When the court sells these 100,000 acres of land, multiply 100,000 by 4,000, then  That¡¯s 400 million strings;

    ????????????????????????????????? Well, considering that after the expansion, the land in the city will no longer be so tight, the price may drop. Let¡¯s even consider it as 3,000 guan per acre, which still has an income of 300 million guan;

    "Now Mr. Cai understands, the land acquisition is 20 million guan, the city construction and road construction is 90 million guan, the total cost is over 110 million guan, so the court still makes a net profit of nearly 200 million guan;

    "Cai Shangshu, you said there is such a good thing, why are you still angry?"  Okay, ?"Shang Shu, hurry back and empty the treasury and prepare to store the money. Don't leave no place to store the money in the future"

    Cai Jing was stunned on the chair, and did not come back to his senses for a long time. He murmured: "Net profit of 200 million yuan, net profit of 200 million yuan"

    "Cai Shangshu probably forgot that we are just expanding the outer city, not building a new city. The palace and government offices do not need to be repaired. Of course Hehe Of course, this money cannot be earned back in one go, but as of now  The court must be able to make money from the demand, Cai Shangshu, Cai Shangshu, wake up, did you hear what I said?"

    Cai Jing came back to his senses, took a deep breath and replied: "Yang Renzhi, you can do whatever you want. I don't ask for 200 million guan. After it is completed, you can guarantee me a surplus of 50 million guan."  .¡±

    After Cai Jing finished speaking, he patted his butt and left, as if he really wanted to rush back to clean up the treasury and wait to load the money.

    "Cai Shangshu, please stay. Whether I can make money depends on whether the things I have in hand can survive the court meeting. Well you know."

    "I understand?"

    "Haha, Cai Shangshu is pretending to be confused again, isn't he? Cai Shangshu, don't blame me for not telling you in advance. If this plan fails to pass at the court meeting, I will withdraw it and start over. Will I be able to make money by then?  It¡¯s hard to say.¡±

    This is a naked threat. Yang Yi is now fully in charge of the expansion. Not to mention, he is really capable of turning your originally profitable business into a loss-making business.

    If he feels unhappy, who knows what he will do.
