Chapter 948 I Want to Be a Fool
Every few hours, Nanjing would receive a telegram from Calcutta reporting the situation of the Mughals.
These battle reports will also be sent to Wu Changqing.
However, Wu Changqing mostly glanced at it and then put it aside.
Everything is under the control of the Huajun, there is really not much to pay attention to, and there is no need for any instructions.
Not to mention that it is like this on the battlefield, even the daily development doesn't need him to worry too much now.
The officials below have accumulated a lot of experience after years of training, and they all know what to do.
"Having achieved such an achievement at such a young age, it seems that I have no choice but to die."
Wu Changqing suddenly expressed emotion.
This sentence comes from Zhou Xingchi's movie "Descendants of the Dragon", but Zhou Xingchi said this sentence to be funny.
There is a sense of shamelessness in saying this after achieving a small achievement. And Zhou Xingchi's serious appearance gives people a strong contrast, so as to create a comedy effect.
However, Wu Changqing didn't mean to be shameless when he said this.
He really has nothing in particular to accomplish.
Money, power, women, three things that men want, he has them all.
The expansion of the territory can still continue to bring him pleasure.
However, the sense of accomplishment is far from as strong as it was at the beginning.
In the past, he could feel very happy when he won Jiangxi, defeated the Qing Dynasty, or annexed Fusang.
But now, India will soon be annexed by Dahua, and his happiness is not as good as before.
India is ten times bigger than Fusang.
"Your Majesty, you are humorous."
Concubine Ning, who was leaning against Wu Changqing's arms, smiled lightly.
People in this era generally have a low sense of humor. When Ning Caiju first heard Wu Changqing's 'joke', he was immediately amused.
"I just wrote this out of feeling. I have been a wise gentleman for a long time, and maybe try to live a little bit of a foolish monarch's life."
Wu Changqing said.
He wants to be a faint king, and the women in the palace naturally agree.
On this point, their interests are the same as those of all officials, and they all hope that Wu Changqing can spend more time on eating, drinking and having fun.
"Xiao Zhangzi, find some master architects, this palace should also be repaired."
Wu Changqing said.
Time flies, because Feng Debao is too old and often seriously ill, he has retired honorably and is living in the city for the elderly.
The task of serving Wu Changqing personally is now in charge of Zhang Xian.
"Is Your Majesty finally going to repair the palace?"
Ning Caiju asked excitedly.
The matter of renovating the palace has actually been mentioned all the time.
After all, there are more and more beautiful buildings in the city, and compared with those buildings, the imperial palace is even a bit inferior.
In the eyes of many, this is intolerable.
That is to say, Wu Changqing didn't care, so the renovation of the palace was put on hold again and again.
And now, Wu Changqing is also preparing to build the palace.
"Yes, how about I change the bedroom into a themed bedroom?"
Wu Changqing said.
"What is a themed bedroom?"
Ning Caiju said she didn't understand.
"It's a bedroom with one theme, and then decorate and arrange according to this theme. For example, if nature is the theme, then the bed inside should be a huge tree stump, and various plastic trees, leaves, small animals, etc. should be arranged around it. .In short, the scene inside has to be like nature.
Another example is the summer theme, which must have a beach. With the theme of Journey to the West, there must be various female fairies in it. With flowers as the theme, all kinds of flowers need to be arranged inside..."
Wu Changqing said.
"Ah, then I want the theme of small bridges and flowing water. There must be bamboo forests, bamboo houses, and bamboo chairs. In short, all of them are made of bamboo."
When Ning Caiju heard Wu Changqing's idea, she immediately asked for a bedroom with a theme she liked.
The idyllic residence with small bridges and flowing water is still very attractive to some people who are used to being rich and powerful.
When Wu Changqing wanted to build a themed bedroom, the concubines in the palace began to find ways to please Wu Changqing, trying to ask for a themed bedroom of their own.
This is not just for enjoyment, but also for status.
This kind of theme bedroom will cost a lot of money, and the daily maintenance is definitely not cheap. Therefore, it is impossible to build too many bedrooms of this kind.
Being able to have a bedroom of one's own is a symbol of being favored.
Several top architects and interior decoration experts from Dahua were summoned.
Even if they still have projects in their hands, they can only stop at this time.
The emperor wanted to build a house, and that was the most important thing.
Wu Changqing told these people what he thought, and everyone was amazed.
Wu Changqing's idea is very novel, at least these people have not thought about this kind of architecture before.
"Your Majesty, if these buildings are to be completed, I am afraid that the palace will have to be expanded, otherwise it will not be big enough."
Architect Qiao Bisheng said.
If you want to decorate that kind of theme, you must need a large place, a small room, no matter how you arrange it, it will not look like nature.
"Your Majesty, there are residential buildings around the palace, and it may not be convenient to expand it. Just build another bedroom in Zhongshan for leisure.
Entertainment only. "
Zhang Xian suggested.
Compared with expanding the palace in the city, finding another place to build a new bedroom will have less impact.
"I also think it's more appropriate to find a geomantic treasure outside the city. After all, there are more and more high-rise buildings around. Those villains use binoculars to spy on the palace. It's hard to guard against."
Qiao Bisheng said.
Peeping at the inner courtyard of the palace is not a light crime.
However, the world is getting bigger, there are some people who are not afraid of death, or those who are lucky, or people with problematic brains, there is no way to eliminate them.
But Nanjing is developing faster and faster, the population is increasing, and the demand for high-rise buildings is also increasing.
High-rise buildings are not allowed to be built around the palace, which has a considerable impact on development.
Therefore, it is a good choice to relocate the residence where the harem is housed outside the city.
The palace in the city can be used for special office.
In this way, it will be more convenient.
It can also be completely pulled down to build high-rise buildings and create a commercial center.
In the past, the imperial palace was built in the center of the city, mainly for safety and convenience for officials to go up and down.
Now, security is not an issue. With a car, commuting to and from get off work is no longer a problem.
Times are changing, and moving the palace to the outskirts of the city is the best choice.
Wu Changqing thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Ordinary people don't like to be peeped, let alone he is an emperor.
"Xiao Zhangzi, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll keep an eye on site selection and construction, so nothing can go wrong. You guys should come up with a plan and budget first. In principle, it can't exceed 50 million yuan. .”
Wu Changqing confessed.
The money for building the palace would most likely come out of his own personal pocket, 50 million, which was not a small sum for him.
This time, he was extravagant and did what a fool should do.
