Luoyang.

Ziwei Palace.

Countless people flocked to visit the palace, on the fifth day of the fifth month, the Dragon Boat Festival.

The emperor issued an edict to open the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, allowing the people to visit the Qianyuan Hall, the main palace of the palace, and allowing the people to the imperial city.

This is the first time that it has been invincible. Since ancient times, no emperor has opened the palace to the people for visits. After this imperial edict, countless people in Luoyang City got up in the middle of the night and wanted to go into the palace to see what the emperor's Golden Palace looked like.

Even some people around Luoyang came excitedly after hearing this.

Ziwei Palace is different from the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an.

The construction of Chang'an City is very symmetrical, and the Tai Chi Palace is in the center of the north of Chang'an City. However, the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang is not symmetrical. The imperial city is chosen at the northwest corner of Luoyang City. This is the highest place in Luoyang City. The imperial palace is built here, and you can look down at the whole city from a high place.

The Ziwei Palace in Luoyang covers an area of ​​about 6,300 acres. The main gate is Yingtian Gate, the main hall is Qianyuan Hall, and the east and west are Wensi Hall and Wucheng Hall.

The three major halls of the previous dynasty were Qianyuan Hall (called Ganyang Hall in the Sui Dynasty), Kaiyuan Hall (called Daye Hall in the Sui Dynasty), and Xingyuan Hall (called Huiyou Hall in the Sui Dynasty).

Qianyuan Hall is the first of the three major halls of the previous dynasty. Its size and area are the largest palaces in China's history, no doubt about it. Qianyuan Hall is not only the temple of the presidency, but also the temple where the Qin Empire's New Year's Day ceremony and the emperor's throne ceremony were held.

The Golden Palace is brilliant.

After checking their identities at the palace gate, the people lined up to enter, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites led them to visit, and the Northern Imperial Army maintained order.

The three halls of the previous dynasty and the imperial city, the three provinces and six ministries were opened. However, some Ziwei Palaces were very large. In the real Da Nei, there were several palace cities. To the north of Da Nei are Xuanwu City, Yaoyi City and Yuanbi City. These three cities guard the north of the Da Nei, and the Sanchong City Pass, and there are imperial guards in the village.

To the west is the west city and the right city, to the east city and the left city, to the east city, to the east city, and to the outside, there is an East City larger than the large inner area, and to the north of the East City is Hanjiacang City.

To the south of Danei is the imperial city.

The real big house accounts for less than one-fifth of the entire palace.

The Danui divides the former dynasty and the inner court.

The previous dynasty was the place where the emperor worked, and was also the place where ministers were summoned and ministers, and the inner court was naturally the emperor's bedroom, the place where the concubines and young princes lived, and the Yeting Palace was where the palace people lived and worked.

Even if this time it was only opened to the previous dynasty, only the Qianyuan Hall was opened, but for the people, this is a rare opportunity. How many people will have the opportunity to enter the palace in this life?

If you want to see other outer court halls outside Qianyuan Hall, of course, you can do it, and you can even have a meal in the palace. Of course, those are not free, so you have to buy tickets to visit.

And that lunch is quite simple, it is never cheap.

But even so, there are still countless rich people scrambling to buy tickets.

When visiting, there were some souvenirs for sale in the palace, and they were all small things, such as the four treasures of the study with the Ziwei Palace stamped, and the silk cloth embroidered with the palace mark.

There are even imperial horses for sale in the imperial stable, and imperial wine shops for sale.

All of these things are marked with imperial marks for the court. Now they are sold to the people as souvenirs, and they are not just a commodity, but a relatively special symbol of identity.

There are many people buying it.

The eunuchs in charge of collecting money, who had their hands sore when they took the pen to register, and the eunuchs who counted the money there were also sluggish when they counted the money.

On the other side, during lunch in the palace, there is a blind date with different sides.

The emperor arranged blind dates for those palace ladies over 25 years old, especially those who had no contact with their families due to the war. The children of officials with innocent wealth and good character, children of powerful gentry, and even brothers of ordinary farmers from good families, all had the opportunity to attend this blind date at lunch.

The most special thing about this blind date is that the people who come to have lunch and choose these palace ladies, but the people who choose these young children.

If the palace maid picks someone and arranges the man to come and meet him, as long as the man does not refuse to agree, even if he agrees, the palace will be their family members and marry them out of the house.

The man's family was preparing to marry him, and the palace bought dowry for the palace people, and then married him.

This was a harem activity proposed by the concubine Changsun, and then hosted by the queen Shan, and assisted by the four concubines, which received strong support from Luo Cheng.

Opening the palace, even doing blind dates and buying imperial goods, many ministers were very outspoken in the eyes of them, thinking that it was inappropriate and allowing ordinary people to visit the palace, which lost the royal majesty.

But Luo Cheng's reason for convincing the prime ministers was very simple. His move was not to make money, but just wanted to narrow the distance with the people so that everyone could be closer to the Qin Dynasty, the Qin royal family and the officials.

As for the money for selling imperial goods and tickets, it will not be used to build palaces. Instead, some nursing homes for the elderly and widowed people will be set up in Luoyang City, nursing homes for the relief of orphans and abandoned babies, and cemeteries for the burial of no descendants.

Luo Cheng even decided that the opening of the palace is not only for once, but also for once or twice a year in the future, so that the people can enter the palace to visit, and sell imperial goods and palace lunches can also be continued. The income earned is used to help orphans and abandoned babies, collect poor people who have no descendants, or vendors living in Luoyang, etc.

He also asked the government offices in various places to hold yamen open days every year so that the people can visit the mysterious yamen, and even have several public office days a year so that the people can see up close to how the yamen operates and how officials work.

"The comprehensive renovation plan for Luoyang Ziwei Palace proposed by Mr. Xiao before, said that the budget offer is one million guan."

South of Luoyang, by the Luoshui River.

The palace was open to the public for visits, but the emperor came to the palace of Xianren Palace.

This is one of the palaces built in the Sui Dynasty. The palace is not big, but it is well preserved.

"Is one million guan more than one million guan? Maybe some people will say that we collected more than one million guan last year, not much. But I want to say that one million guan is a big number. A self-cultivated farmer with a hundred acres of land will be peaceful even if it is a good year, but if the annual income is excluding expenses, it may not be able to save ten guans."

"One million trump card, how much small farmers have to save for their whole life?"

Xiao Yu said, "Your Majesty, Luoyang Ziwei Palace is the capital of the imperial palace. Now Your Majesty's home cannot be repaired."

"Repair can be repaired, but this money is not spent like this. I actually have a way to repair the palace and save this big amount of money."

"Your Majesty, are you trying to donate to the wealthy merchants in the world?" Chen Shuda asked.

When encountering large expenses, it is a very common method to persuade those wealthy businessmen to donate. Even though the merchants and big businessmen know that this is unfair, they have no choice.

But this time, the emperor shook his head, "No, persuading donations is actually blackmailing. This is very bad. We can't start like this."

"Then how to solve this million yuan?" Chen Shuda was puzzled.

The emperor said that in fact, the budget of one million guan is a bit high. If you change the method, you can greatly reduce the cost. Of course, if you change it directly, you can spend a penny.
