    The imperial court's compensation plan for land expropriation came out. This was the decision made by Zhang Papi after many days of deliberation. For the expropriated land, twenty min per mu will be paid for dry land, and forty min per mu for fertile land. In addition,  Depending on the number of acres of land acquired, housing sites ranging from one to twenty acres will be allocated in the city in the future.

    The land acquisition for the expansion involved more than 100 wealthy families. In order to prevent these people from coming to make trouble, Xuandemen sent 200 additional guards. Anyone without legitimate matters, no matter how high the official position, was not allowed to enter Xuandemen.

    The specific land acquisition matters were handed over to Sinong Temple, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Fifth General of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army. Sinong Temple and the Ministry of Household Affairs were responsible for measuring the land and issuing compensation. As for what the fifth general's troops were doing, it goes without saying.  It¡¯s good that everyone knows what¡¯s going on.

    It has to be said that Zhang Papi's work is indeed not a secret. If he dares to make a move, he will kill him. As long as he sees the right thing, he will act vigorously and resolutely, and he will never be merciful.

    ??The forbidden army has drawn out swords and guns, and the palace gates are strictly sealed. Anyone who dares to be a Dingzi household again will not be able to get out even if he is a prince.

    In general, the compensation given by the court this time is already very good. The expropriation price is nearly several times that of the market. Corresponding housing land was also allocated in the new city. There is really nothing to say. If it is like Yang Yi mentioned  That time, Renzong built a mausoleum for his father and gave him several hundred cash per acre. That was no place to cry.

    How does the imperial court acquire land? Scholar Yang Well, it should be called Yang Datiju. He is determined not to care. This winter is the slack season for farmers and labor is easy to recruit.  Come on, I won¡¯t let you work in vain.  Food and accommodation are included, and the money is 180 cash per day.  This is the current labor recruitment price in the market, and no one will be treated badly.

    Within a few days.  More than 30,000 people from nearby states and counties were recruited by Yang Dati, and the rest continued to come to the capital.

    Land is still being acquired outside the city. Yang Datiju has ordered the construction to start. The first thing he needs to do is to tear down the current inner city wall.

    There is no technical content in this work, as long as you have the strength to dig it out, but the total length of the inner city wall is about 20 miles, which is a lot of work. The excavated wall soil has to be transported out, which is not a small amount of work.

    Yang Dati decided to speed up the progress of the project.  I started to think crookedly again.

    Near the Old Song Gate in the east, thousands of laborers are enthusiastically tearing down the old city wall. Liu Er is one of these tens of millions of people. In this cold weather, everyone has taken off their thick winter clothes.  Working hard to scrape the wall bricks and ram the earth;

    Suddenly Liu Er shouted loudly: "Everyone, look, look, what is this."

    His screams attracted the attention of the surrounding laborers, and everyone gathered around him.  I saw Liu Er using an iron drill to pick up something. Although it was covered with soil, some golden light could be seen reflected;

    The laborers around him suddenly made a loud noise and surrounded him tightly.  He worked hard to get the thing out of the soil.

    ¡°Oh my god, this is actually a golden turtle. Pick it up and weigh it.  It weighed at least ten kilograms, and the city wall was boiling with it.

    The workers nearby crowded around to watch.  The discussion was buzzing, and Liu Er hugged the golden turtle tightly and refused to let go.  The veins in his neck popped out, and he yelled at the envious people around him: "Don't rob me. This is mine. I dug it up. No one of you can rob me."

    "Liu Er, just dream. If you want to take this thing for yourself, I'm afraid it will kill you."

    "That's right, that's right, this city wall doesn't belong to your family, so why should you say that what you dig out is yours."

    "I think everyone should stop dreaming. We are afraid that no one will get involved. Will those officials let this kind of windfall go?"

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, if you hand it in honestly, you might even get a reward. If you want to keep it for yourself, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to go to jail and be sent to a prison cell.¡±

    This matter was quickly mobilized by the supervisory officials in Beijing, and then reported to the higher level, and soon it was reported to Yang Datiju.

    Yang Dati rushed to the old Song gate with a horse. After figuring out the whole story, he made a surprising decision: the golden turtle belonged to Liu Er.

    He loudly announced to all the laborers: "This is the auspicious beast used to control the city when the previous dynasty built the city wall. If you don't bury it, there will definitely be more than one. Now I announce that as long as everyone does their best to dig out,  From now on, whoever is lucky enough to dig up similar auspicious animals will get it, and I will never break my promise."

    This is incredible. The construction site suddenly became noisy and bustling.

    Liu Er was so excited that he sat on the ground holding the golden turtle and cried loudly, shouting and laughing. Then he quickly realized what he was doing and ran to Yang Datiju, kowtowed and thanked him profusely.

    "Thousands of laborers envied Liu Er, and at the same time they picked up their iron picks and rushed towards the city wall, and each of them resorted to suckingHe dug hard at the city wall, just hoping that he could dig out the treasure. For a while, smoke and dirt were billowing from the city wall. Each laborer seemed to have endless energy, waving the iron pick and hoe, exhaling loudly,  Sweating like rain, with such ferocious energy, I really doubted that they were not humans, but giant beasts.

    That¡¯s a ten-pound golden turtle!  Sixteen taels per catty, one tael of gold is equivalent to more than ten guan of gold, and ten jins is nearly two thousand guan. Most people may not be able to save two thousand guan of money even if they work hard all their lives.  Who wouldn¡¯t be jealous of such a windfall?

    This news spread like crazy in the streets of Tokyo as if it had wings.

    "Hey, you heard that the old city was demolished and treasures were dug out."

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard a little bit about it. Damn it, that son of a bitch Hu Si just didn¡¯t want to say more. He ran home to pick up the hoe. Please tell me what¡¯s going on.¡±

    ¡°Oh, I have to go home and hoe, so I won¡¯t tell you now.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t leave, explain the matter clearly first, otherwise I will never be done with you.¡±

    "Don't delay. Let's talk as we walk. A treasure has indeed been unearthed from the Old Song Gate. A golden turtle weighing ten kilograms. Taifu Yang said that whoever digs up this kind of auspicious beast in the city will own it. This is called fate.  If people can live there, I will be free if I am idle, so I will dig out it with a hoe."

    ¡°Oh, who wouldn¡¯t do such a good thing¡­¡­¡­¡­.¡±

    There are also smarter ones. Zhang San and Li Si, who are near Liangmen in the west, see things more clearly.

    "Brother Zhang, I heard that people are digging for treasures from the Old Song Gate. I heard that many people in the city have gone to dig for the city wall."

    "Hi, Brother Li. Then why didn't you go?"

    "Hehe, listen to Brother Zhang. I know you have seen through this trick."

    "What's this? It's just a small skill. Ten pounds of gold is only worth two thousand guan. The court did this, and tens of thousands of laborers worked hard to dig it out. There were tens of thousands of fools in the city who took the initiative to carry hoes to help.  Keep digging, tsk tsk, don¡¯t tell me, who came up with such an idea. It¡¯s really incredible.¡±

    "Brother Zhang hit the nail on the head. There are many people in this world who daydream all day long. Two thousand strings are exchanged for tens of thousands of idiots who take the initiative to help dig the city. Hehe, if you don't let him go, he will still be in a hurry with you.  .¡±

    "I dare to conclude that there is only one so-called treasure. If anyone can dig out the second one, I will take his last name, hahaha"

    Zhang San laughed.  Looking with pity at those fools who ran up to the city with hoes to dig up walls, a sense of superiority arose spontaneously;

    However, at this moment, there was another loud noise at the old beam gate, and from a distance, a man was seen holding up a golden tortoise.  Yelling and laughing like a madman, the voices on the city wall rang out like a wave

    This scene made Zhang San¡¯s laughter stop abruptly.  Looking back, Li Si was already running towards his home like a hot wheel.  Zhang San reacted immediately and ran towards his home like flying.  After a while, the two wise men met again at Jiuliang Gate.

    "Hey, Brother Zhang, what are you going to do with your hoe?"

    "Oh, that's it. The sewer in my house is blocked. I need to clear it. The matter is tense, so I won't talk to you anymore, Brother Li." Zhang San ran away.

    "No, Brother Zhang, your home is not here. Is it possible that the sewers are blocked here?" Li Si immediately chased after him.

    "What do you want me to do with my sewers? Can you take care of it? By the way, Brother Li, what are you doing with the hoe?"

    "To be honest with Brother Zhang, I'm in a hurry and have to dig a toilet quickly."

    "You dug a toilet because of internal strife?"

    "Isn't it possible?"

    "Okay, Brother Li, let's stop talking nonsense. Did you see that the street is full of people carrying hoes? If we don't hurry up, we won't even have a place to stand in the city."

    When Zhang San and Li Si rushed up the city wall, they encountered fierce competition. Before they could stand firm, someone started yelling before and after them.

    "Get out of the way, get out of the way, are you looking for death? This area belongs to a certain family, and the hoe of a certain family doesn't have eyes. If you don't get out of the way, be careful with your heads."

    "I would like to advise you two, there may be some land in the north that is not occupied by others. If you go early, you two may still have a chance."

    Zhang San and Li Si quit, tilting their necks and yelling: "What's the matter? Is your name written here? Why does it become yours? A certain family likes to dig here. The Feng Shui here is good, and it belongs to the Nine Palaces and Eight Eyes.  , there must be a treasure down here, if he has the ability, let¡¯s see who has a stronger fist first.¡±

    "Who is afraid of whom?"

    "What are you doing! What are you doing? If you don't want to dig, get out of here. No one is asking you to come." The clerk at Temporary Work shouted at the right time.Everyone did not dare to provoke him, so they could only wave their hoes silently.

    In the Licensing Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, Yang Dati put his feet up on the desk and hummed cheerfully: I once kept asking why you came with me, but you always laughed at me and had nothing  Tell you that I have been waiting for a long time, tell you my last request, I want to grab your hands, and you come with me now. Your hands are trembling at this time, and your tears are flowing at this time. Are you telling me  Me, you love me for nothing, oh just come with me

    Shen Qingzhi outside listened and couldn't help but shake his head. If he hadn't seen it in person, who would have dared to think that Yang Taifu would do such a thing. This is called Qu'er, uh, I can't say.

    Yang Datiju does have reasons to be proud. Now the population of Dongjiucheng exceeds 1.5 million, and it is enough for one out of ten to be fooled.

    This time he prepared four beetles, two were released, and two were reserved. When everyone's enthusiasm gradually fades, he will release them one by one.

    Hahaha, this is countless free labor. These guys have nothing to do after they are full. They chat and brag in the tiles all day long. It just so happens that they are participating in a national fitness exercise.
