    The little emperor had a lot of money, but he didn't want to spend it. He always wanted to save it. The huge inner palace was like a glutton swallowing money, and he couldn't eat anything, so there was an inevitable money shortage. As the Ministry of Household Affairs,  Shen Gonghai, the minister, burst into tears and persuaded the emperor to spend the money he had saved. Otherwise, the currency circulating in the market in the Tang Dynasty would be seriously insufficient.

    When the bank laws were formulated, the amount of currency that needed to be recast every year was strictly stipulated. Shen Gonghai had no way of asking the mint controlled by Dugu Mou to mint one more silver coin.

    The annoyed little emperor could not withstand the pleading of his ministers, so he had to spend money, so the construction of the Datang Railway once again set off "gao chao", and the remaining coins were used by the angry emperor to renovate Chang'an City.  As a result, an unprecedented giant city was completely completed in March of this year.

    The Chang'an City that Yu Supu saw happened to be at its most magnificent moment. In the Tang Dynasty, the city had long lost its defensive function. At some times, the city wall even became a traffic obstruction for the entire city.

    Two million people crowded into one city could not be accommodated by the city wall. Therefore, some markets and gathering places similar to those in Yunjiazhuangzi appeared along the city wall.

    While Yu Supu was praising the magnificence of Chang'an City, Yun Ye completely moved his family out of Chang'an City. He believed that this city was no longer suitable for human habitation.

    The soot smoke in winter shrouds the whole city. When you go out and come back wearing a mask, the white mask will immediately turn into black.  Therefore, at Yun Ye's initiative, the emperor and the empress dowager also moved out of Chang'an City and moved into the palace in Yushan. The officials should also benefit from this and escape from the city without having to breathe poisonous gas every day.

    Yushan Academy is intensifying its research on how to reduce the emission of coal smoke. If this continues, Chang'an City will not be destroyed in the hands of the enemy, but will be destroyed by the harm of coal smoke.

    Relocating people seems to be a feasible solution.  However, despite the most favorable conditions offered by the government, the people of Chang'an were still unwilling to leave.

    So in a short period of time, the rich began to live outside the city, and only those who had no choice would live in the city with peace of mind. The large city of Chang'an is becoming a strange place every morning.  The convenient public carriage will travel through the streets and alleys, constantly dropping people off, and then continue running desperately.

    This reminded Yun Ye of some big cities in later generations. For him, history was repeating itself, but for others it was the most difficult moment.  Nowadays, no rich people want to live in Chang'an in winter. This has become a trend.  From the royal family to wealthy businessmen, there are no exceptions.

    ¡®Chang¡¯an is already 60% similar to Bai Yujing.  Yun Ye smiled and played Go with Xin Yue. He originally wanted to bet on taking off his clothes, but Xin Yue spat hard, so he could only talk gossip.

    "Don't I agree with you? You don't know, I went to Chang'an a few days ago, and when I came back from a dirty trip to the carriage shed, there was a thin layer of soot. Are you?  What's the matter with being left behind in Chang'an and not knowing how to take care of him? He hides at home all day without going out."

    "How to control it? The foreigners are going crazy and want to rush into Chang'an City to breathe the poisonous gas. Do you know how many excrement barrels have to be transported out of Chang'an City every day? In the past, they were pulled by donkey carts, and later they became large carriages.  Later, it became transported by ship. Now, a simple railway has to be built to transport feces and garbage outside the city every day. There are two million people. Even if none of them poop a pound of feces every day, it is two million pounds  "

    Xin Yue retched, rubbed her chest hard, and walked away in a hurry.  Yun Ye stretched his neck and saw Xin Yue leaving, so he slowly put the chess pieces back. Instead of going out for a walk in the nice weather, he stayed in the house and played some chess.

    It finally became a decoration.  No one cares about it. There is great singing and dancing in the Tang Dynasty. There is still a little rebellion in the east that needs to be suppressed. The Koreans are always evil and want to restore the glory of Goguryeo. I don¡¯t know what they think. Kill one.  What else could these two officials do besides attract crazy revenge from the Tang Dynasty.

    The little emperor was very interested in this matter. From time to time he would run out of the palace to find the general to compete on the sand table. This child had never fought in a war, so he had a special hobby for dispatching troops and generals.

    Turning over the secret report in hand, Yun Ye was full of respect for Gaoyangzi, a woman who was not yet dead. They were currently using 50,000 slaves to dig canals day and night, intending to connect the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. Lingnan Navy  His opinion was to stop harassing the Red Sea and give He Ping's work time. After the canal was opened, the army would rush over to fight for it. Those generals were full of confidence in their combat power, because no wooden ship could be a rival to the ironclad.

    Fighting for transportation hubs is a trivial matter, and the Korean people¡¯sChaos is a trivial matter, but today He Shao plans to come for a visit. This is a big deal. Fatty He has not left home for almost five years. The last time Yun Ye took Wangcai to visit He Shao, Wangcai immediately fell in love with the fat man.  , not because he is handsome, but because the fat man¡¯s bed is filled with all kinds of delicious fruits.

    He Shao needs to make preparations in advance when he goes to the Yun family. The door of the Yun family is opened very rarely now. Normally, it is only opened when the Empress Dowager comes. The emperor now always uses the side door when he comes, and he is used to it.

    He Shao¡¯s bed became narrower, but also very long. Eight burly men struggled to carry the mountain of meat into Yun¡¯s house. There was nowhere to go after leaving it in the yard, and it was difficult to even turn a corner.

    ??Xin Yue habitually complained about He Shao Yitong. What would happen if he continued to be so fat?  Wangcai had already stuffed his mouth into He Shao's exquisite porcelain basin and started eating fruit. Even the Pingguo Yun family who came from the Western Regions did not have it.

    "I'm dying!"

    He Shao's words finally reached the point where he couldn't stop talking without being shocked. Yun Ye put down the apple in his hand and looked at He Shao in surprise.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten in three days, so I¡¯m dying, I know it!¡±

    "Based on your current physical condition, I think you should not eat for half a year. You should celebrate if you can't eat for three days! Yun Ye was even more surprised when he heard He Shao's explanation.

    "I know my body. The reason God gave me birth in the Tang Dynasty was to compensate me and let me enjoy all the wealth and honor in the world. Now that I can't enjoy the blessings, I will die. In other words, from now on  Three days ago, God made up for everything he owed me in my previous life, and I¡¯m going to be finished!¡±

    He Shao seemed to be joking when he said these words, but from his eyes, Yun Ye found that this guy seemed to be very serious now.

    "Since you are about to die, why are you running around? Don't you need to make arrangements for your dozens of wives and hundreds of children?" Yun Ye did not believe that He Shao would come here to report the news of his death.

    ¡°I won¡¯t die with my eyes closed!¡± He Shao sat on the bed and was heartbroken.

    If someone else is about to die, Yun Ye will feel sad no matter what, but when it comes to He Shao, he will also make the tragedy comedic. A guy who enjoys all the wealth and honor in the world actually says that he will never rest in peace. This sentence is too  It had a comedic effect, and Yun Ye didn't know whether he should be sad or laugh.

    "Only before I died did I realize that I had done too many wrong things in my life. Two years ago, a man named Yuan Jia came to me with his manuscript and hoped that I could help him publish this book.  Because he was an official, I met him, and after a quick glance at his manuscript, I suddenly found that every word in his book spoke to my heart. I wanted to carry forward his teachings, and now I have reached the final stage.  At a critical moment, I suddenly found that my death was imminent."

    Yun Ye frowned and said: "I have read the "Four Min Lun" you published. The whole book is indeed a good book and thought-provoking, but what does it have to do with me? I am a scholar and a distinguished person.  , it is impossible for me to betray my rank to help you, so if you want me to help, it is better for you to keep your mouth shut."

    "You are not suitable. I have known it for a long time. Naturally, I will not ask you to push this matter. I just ask you to pretend not to see or listen when the time is right. I have arranged the rest of the things very appropriately.  .¡±

    Yun Ye looked at He Shao, walked around his bed and said, "Have you arranged someone around the emperor?"

    He Shao nodded and said: "It's impossible to hide this from you, so I'll say hello in advance to avoid being screwed by you, the minister who cares about life, who finally put me in.

    I don¡¯t have any other intention, I just arrange for people to be beside the emperor to help the rest of the people talk. Isn¡¯t this too much?  I want to make the emperor accept this point of view through subtle influence, which will not be harmful to the Tang Dynasty.  "

    Yun Ye nodded and said: "In that case, I don't care, Lao He, don't have evil thoughts. Once you have evil thoughts, I guarantee you will regret it even if you go to hell. If you want to be safe,  Just work hard and live for another seven years. After seven years, I will let go of the court and let you do whatever you want, so I can hide on the shore and watch the monkey show!"

    "I can't live for seven years. It is estimated that I have seven days at most. Mr. Sun checked my pulse and couldn't find my pulse. He cut open the flesh on my arm to find the pulse. He said that I have less than ten days to recover.  Live. I am not afraid of death, but I am worried that my hard work will be in vain. I found that the time of this book is too short, it is too short."

    "Nine times out of ten things in the world will be unsatisfactory, and it is impossible for you to have everything go as you wish. Go home now and arrange your own funeral arrangements properly. I will go to your funeral in a few days!"

    Seeing that his goal had been achieved, He Shao turned toYe Ye said: "Remember to come. With you, the hussar general, paying your respects, the He family's face will be more glorious"

    The words between the two of them were very ordinary, and there was no sadness at all. Yun Ye sent He Shao out of the house for the first time. He Shao said with a smile and then he was carried into the depths of Yushan.  He Shao had a beautiful pavilion there.
