Chapter 696: The surrender has been decided(2/2)
Most of the famous shops and restaurants in Yingtian City are also opened on both sides of the Qinhuai River.
Nancheng and Zhongcheng are also the places with the largest population.
Xicheng has been a remote place since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Even if it is built, it is difficult to guarantee how much passenger flow there will be.
However, after Zhu Yunxi was deprived of the power to supervise the country, those officials who had a negative attitude only regarded this as a small compensation for Zhu Yunxi from within the royal family.
At least give him something to do.
As for whether the money invested by Da Ming Bank and the Ministry of Accounts will be able to recover in the end.
Anyway, the emperor's grandson has made an unknown amount of money for the court over the years.
Even if everything is in vain this time, at most it can only be regarded as interest money for the emperor's grandson.
In order to make the court more troublesome rather than less troublesome, even the officials who were not optimistic about it would choose to keep their mouths shut at this time and never interfere with the Xicheng city construction project.
Zhu Gaochi saw that Zhu Shangbing finally started to wipe his mouth.
Then he stood up.
"We will go back first and come back again at the end of December. I heard that the Scenic Lake will be filled with water by then. Then we can go fishing in the winter and make tea around the stove."
With that said, Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Shangbing, patted his butt, stood up and walked out of the door.
Zhu Yunxi still looks carefree and carefree.
He now has to stay at the Xicheng project until dark every day before going to Taisun Mansion.
He moved back to Taisun's Mansion from the palace, but the crown prince, concubines and children still stayed in the palace.
In Taisun Mansion, he can be said to be alone.
It's the same whether you go home early or late, it's better to stay at the construction site more.
At least I have enough leisure here, and ordinary people are unlikely to come here to see him if they have nothing to do.
In fact, even if Zhu Yunxi stayed at the Xicheng construction site during the day, it would not be of much use.
He doesn't even need to do the work of moving bricks.
Even if he did it, the workers would not thank him.
On the contrary, they may think that if he moves more bricks, they will get a lot less wages.
Every day I just visit various work sites on the project.
On the contrary, everyone felt at ease when he wandered around like this.
Time passed slowly like this.
Until the end of the twelfth lunar month.
The snow in Yingtian this year is particularly heavy.
As a result, the construction site has been leveled, the roads have been paved, the foundation has been laid, and the preliminary work on the landscaping has been completed, and then the work has completely stopped.
Most of the workers, after settling their wages quite a bit, returned home happily.
But in the end, nearly a thousand people were left behind to stay on the construction site.
These people are here to maintain the projects that were completed in the early stage, and also to do some processes that can be done in this temperature.
The twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month.
Little year.
Covering an area of nearly 3,000 acres, water has been diverted into the scenic lake since the twelfth lunar month.
As of today, the lake water has basically reached the same level as upstream.
Because it is diverted from running water, no water fence is added.
On the flattened lake, from time to time a few big fish would come down from the upper reaches and jump out of the water, making huge splashes on the lake.
Many workers took boats to the island in the middle of the lake and poured the ornamental fish and edible fish they had prepared into the lake water.
And by the lake.
A fishing pavilion built in a hurry is located on the roadside around the lake.
At this moment, party-style cotton curtains fell on three sides of the pavilion, while the side facing the lake was open.
A stove was lit in the pavilion to block the severe cold outside.
Three fishing rods stretched out from the pavilion, the fishing lines floated on the lake, and the fish floated up and down with the waves.
Zhu Yunxi sat in the middle, flanked by Zhu Gaochi who was concentrating on fishing and Zhu Shangbing who was listless.
Zhu Gaochi looked at the people who were releasing fish on the island in the middle of the lake and whispered: "Isn't it a bit unethical for us to do this?"
"That's because you are wicked." Zhu Yunxi immediately replied: "You are the one who wants to fish in winter."
Zhu Gaochi pouted: "Then you don't know how to change the day and wait for them to put all the fish into the lake before calling me over to fish. It's not easy to fish at this time. You have to wait until these fish get used to the lake water here, then it will be easy to fish.
…”
He even asked for it.
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Xiaopang and smiled.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Sun Gouer, the palace manager, who was standing in the snow in the distance.
He whispered: "Sun Daban has been standing there since I arrived here. Are you really not going back to the palace for dinner today? It's New Year's Eve tonight. Our family in Beijing will all go to the palace for dinner."
Zhu Yunxi moved his mouth and said: "We will also celebrate New Year's Eve at the construction site tonight. I'll stay here and have a few bites of food."
Zhu Gaochi blinked: "Is this necessary?"
"So far, there hasn't been any waves, which shows that everyone is still hesitant. I have to personally add more fuel to the fire."
Zhu Yunxi said calmly.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened: "You don't know now..."
After saying half a sentence, he closed his mouth again.
Finally, Zhu Gaochi put down the fishing rod in his hand, turned around and walked into the pavilion to pour himself a cup of tea.
And his voice came out muffled.
"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
"Good luck."
Chapter completed!
