The construction of Sinan military camp was very fast and it was almost completed in just half a month.
Therefore, Shu Jian pulled most of the soldiers to Changshou Salt Field.
On the other hand, Xie Ling's Paradise City was also under construction in full swing. She asked Gu Wei to seal off the entire street, intending to unveil it to the world after it was all completed.
The supervisors were Gao Zexun and Luo Changsheng.
Because Xie Ling had plenty of money, they made everything to the best specifications, with glazed tiles, exquisite carvings, winding corridors, and high eaves, which radiated beautiful light in the morning sun and looked majestic and magnificent.
Just a frame is enough to give you a glimpse of the luxury and beauty.
Luo Changsheng looked at it and felt a little anxious.
From time to time, he would ask Gao Zexun, "If we build this, will anyone really come? Will women really come? Lingnan is remote, can it really attract people from other places?"
Gao Zexun never tires of explaining his problems every time.
"Someone will come. I trust Miss Xie's judgment."
"Don't underestimate women's ability to buy things."
After all, Gao Zexun was a young man before and had lived in the capital. He knew the pursuit of rouge, powder, jewelry and ready-made clothes by the noble ladies in the capital.
Women's purchasing power is no weaker than men's.
When men go out, they can only go to brothels and restaurants, but women can go to many places.
Rouge shop, clothing store, jewelry store, dessert shop...
Gao Zexun couldn't imagine how popular it would be if all these stores were put together!
But remoteness is indeed a difficult problem to solve...
It all depends on whether Miss Xie can make a living in the future.
Anyway, he just needs to supervise the construction!
———
It is clearly autumn, but the weather has not cooled down yet. It is extremely hot and humid, and it does not rain. It seems as if a natural disaster is brewing, and the people in Lingnan are in panic.
The crops in the field have already wilted beyond recognition due to long-term exposure to the sun. The rice has bent over and its leaves are dry and yellow.
Fortunately, the rice has grown and is about to be harvested, so the people still have some hope.
In another half month, we can harvest the crops!
But in fact, within Beijiang, Lingnan is already a relatively peaceful place.
This year, disasters have occurred frequently, with droughts and floods occurring one after another.
Refugees rose up everywhere, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil, causing the country to be in turmoil.
No sooner had the refugees in one place been suppressed than refugees in another place rebelled again.
The storm is coming.
Seeing that Beijiang was in such a rough situation and that the talented King Gu Wei of Zhenbei was gone, the other six countries were even more covetous and repeatedly demonstrated and violated the border like wolves with bared fangs, waiting for Beijiang to catch its last breath before they would rush forward.
You have to know that Beijiang is vast and rich in resources. There are the south with its small bridges and flowing water, and the north with its lonely smoke in the desert. No country would not be jealous.
The army was insufficient, so conscription was necessary; the treasury was empty, so taxes were increased...
The new emperor was so busy with internal and external troubles that he vomited blood and fainted several times in the court.
At this time in the Beijiang court, all officials had one thought in their minds.
It would be great if King Zhenbei hadn't been exiled.
With him around, would any country along the Beijiang border dare to invade so blatantly?
Would those refugees dare to rebel so brazenly?
Gu Wei is the stabilizing force of Beijiang River.
However, this magic needle was pulled out by the emperor himself.
Today's court is as depressing as ever.
"Your Majesty, the refugees in Jiangdong have rebelled. Do you want to send troops to suppress them?"
"Your Majesty, the Huns from the northern frontier broke into the village and massacred hundreds of people!"
"Your Majesty! Do not impose too heavy taxes, otherwise how will the people survive? Treating the symptoms but not the root cause will only make the country more devastated..."
The new emperor endured it again and again, veins on his forehead throbbing, he punched hard on the cold dragon throne, and said sternly: "Then what do you want me to do!"
In a rage, he didn't even say "I".
"That's all for today. I'm not feeling well, so I'm leaving!"
The new emperor almost fled.
When he returned to the bedroom, there were still countless memorials waiting for approval, piled up like a small mountain.
He gritted his teeth at first, then tears streamed down his cheeks.
The emperor's throne is icy cold.
He was only 22 years old, yet he had to take responsibility for the safety of a country.
He is so tired.
He missed Chen Daoyu.
If Chen Daoyu were here, he would definitely be able to help him deal with all the current affairs.
As for Gu Wei...haha, even if he messes up the country, he will not regret his original decision!
Gu Wei is just a clown, he is the true dragon emperor!
The ancients said that when God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer.
These are just tests given to him by God.
"The Imperial Master requests an audience!"
Outside the palace, the eunuch's shrill voice was heard.
The new emperor quickly wiped the tears from his face, straightened his posture, and revealed a superior expression again.
"This batch of pills is ready?"
Yu Yichou had an air of immortality and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, I have finished refining it."
The emperor hurriedly opened the brocade box, poured the pill into his mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"After taking the elixir, my body feels much better."
"Then I'll take my leave."
As soon as Yu Yichou walked out, he looked up and saw Lu Yinli in a vermilion official uniform.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Inside the palace, the emperor hurriedly drove Lu Yinli out without even listening to the end of what he said.
"I need to rest now, Lord Lu, please go back."
Lu Yinli concealed the disappointment in his eyes, bowed respectfully and walked out.
