125. Career Bachelor

Paris on the banks of the Seine is fashionable and elegant, the temples of the Acropolis of Athens are precipitated by their depth, and Bangkok, surrounded by sandalwood, wanders with the sound of Buddha... So what should be the ancient capital of Yanjing in 1680?

Kangxi sat in a newly made cloth sofa chair, leaning against a yellow silk cushion painted with golden silk embroidered by Jiulong balls of gold wire, thinking about the city in the illusion. The ancient and solemn Forbidden City is just a symbol of imperial power. Later generations are only for tourists to visit, and it is also a secret public opinion in this world. Relatively speaking, the vast outer city area is still a very creative space.

The rippling waves of Shichahai, the weeping willows on the shore, and the distant mountains are as beautiful as dark as dark. However, the back gardens of the royal family and nobles built around the three seas, which have nothing to do with the common people. Kangxi was used to having no interest in private visits to the place, and then there was no clue yet.

The "Changchun Garden" in history was the first royal garden built by Emperor Kangxi to avoid the noise and listen to the government in western Beijing. Emperor Kangxi always spent half a year there to spend time there. It was precisely because of the precedent of building Changchun Garden that the Jingming Garden, Jingyi Garden, Yuanming Garden and Qingyi Garden were found, and the achievements of the palace's depletion should not be underestimated.

However, Kangxi really liked the simple gardens like the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan. After all, he was a son of a daughter and could not sit in the hall. What's more, the emperor, even the gate of the palace can't be found several times a year, let alone the travel to the landscape gardens of Jiangsu and Hangzhou in Jiangnan. If you consider the expenses, the expenses of saving the southern tour are really true.

Kangxi secretly thought about the construction of the "Changchun Garden" based on the site of Tsinghua Park in the Ming Dynasty. However, before this, Kangxi ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to purchase a large amount of wasteland in advance. Any area adjacent to the planned "Changchun Garden" was hoarded by Kangxi. Kangxi did this and planned to take the lead and hoard real estate and make money by selling money, in order to reduce the huge financial pressure brought by the construction of Changchun Garden.

However, after the emperor specially summoned several Hanlin scholars to discuss, he proposed to reiterate the prohibition of officials, and the government offices wanted to enclose land and occupy people's private property. If there is any violation of the ban, the officials will be dismissed and dismissed, and all illegal income will be confiscated.

Kangxi's repetition of the ownership of state-owned and private real estate rights is quite intriguing, because he himself is not sure about this matter. From the perspective of fairness and justice, Kangxi strongly favors the protection of personal private property, but from the perspective of overall urban construction planning, the existence of private land at some times will indeed delay the overall development of the city. Unless in some areas with sparse populations and unexploited areas, this contradiction is not yet prominent. However, in densely populated central cities, the contradiction between the overall planning of the region and the vested interests of individuals is becoming increasingly prominent.

When Kangxi ordered the Office of Internal Affairs to purchase idle land, there was indeed an old man named Shi Shi who did not agree with the conditions offered by the Office of Internal Affairs. People said that they had been used to living in the local area for decades and did not care about the amount of money, but they were unwilling to leave their former residence easily. According to the official of the Office of Internal Affairs, the name of the royal family was used to scare him away.

However, the time was not coincidental. The emperor had just issued an order to control the power of the government to bully others by relying on "power", which made everyone in a dilemma. This land was a very important place. On the overall planning sketch of the imperial painter and chief designer Ye Tao, the imperial painter and chief designer of the court, it happened to be built. It was enclosed in a large garden for the women to burn incense and play.

There are quite a lot of smart people in the Interior Affairs Office, and they don’t come to persuade them to come and negotiate the prices of the surrounding people’s land, land, houses, courtyards, and households. After the other families have moved away, the only one-family old man left. Well, the Interior Affairs Office will not negotiate the conditions, but ten miles away, the Interior Affairs Office will mobilize the Construction Department to erect a road ban, block the key external roads, and start to build the outer palace wall infrastructure.

Even if the landlords in ancient times had their own land and could grow vegetables and produce grain, and even if they were self-sufficient, they would not have been able to go to the market to buy daily necessities. As a result, the roads were closed, the roads were blocked, and all the servants and servants could not get out of the carriage. The old man was stunned.

Kangxi was not aware of this. When he learned about this from the news, he only heard that officials from all over the Ministry of Internal Affairs were having a banquet and celebrating and successfully completed the "early demolition" work of the Changchun Garden project. There was only one sentence at the center of the topic, and the old man's family had moved away. Kangxi sighed. Kangxi asked carefully about the cost of the relocation. He knew that the price of the money for the land and houses was all compared with the market price and increased slightly, and there was no slightest resoluteness in the people. The emperor felt a little relieved... It would be better to discuss this matter, as the saying goes, all the same in ancient and modern times.
