On the 18th day of the first month of the second year of the Tomorrow Dynasty (1622 AD), Xizong Zhu announced his wedding date to the world.

The emperor's wedding is naturally to accept the worship of hundreds of officials, but Zhu Youxiao, this kid, has no intention of this, but is even more obsessed with carpentry work.

At the same time, Ma Xiaoquan, who is the fourth grade brocade guard (equivalent to the commander), also began his own family rise deployment.

Judging by Ma Xiaoquan's plan and some past experience, if you want to get rich quickly, the best way is to contract the project of the government ~~ government, of course, this kind of contracting is not something that ordinary people can do, first of all, there must be someone who can speak in the court, and secondly, you also need a strong personal charm to demagogue.

Ma Xiaoquan is confident in his personal charm, but his connections in the DPRK are far from enough.

In fact, Ma Xiaoquan is also a little entangled in his heart, after all, from the bottom of his heart, he hates to circle contacts, and if he wants to circle contacts, there will inevitably be bribery and bribery, and secretly ganging up.

At this time, although the Ming Dynasty was already in a miasma, his own approach was indeed promoting the fall of the dynasty.

"Hey~" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and muttered, "Think about how many years of bribery I Ma Xiaoquan hated, who would have thought that he would take this road, it's really a creation to make people, to make people, hey~~"

With that, Ma Xiaoquan returned to the table and unfolded the map on the table.

This map is a topographic map of the city and around Beijing, and it contains the locations of all the houses in the city.

The Beijing City of the Ming Dynasty was much smaller than it is now, and the places of Tongzhou and Huairou were not within the scope of Beijing City. Of course, although it does not belong to it, it is still under the jurisdiction of Beijing on the surface.

Ma Xiaoquan kept pointing at the map with his hand, pointing while humming, at this time, Li Qinghan suddenly pushed the door in.

Seeing Ma Xiaoquan frowning and looking at the map, Li Qinghan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Ma Xiaoquan, what are you doing looking at the map?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan raised his head, saw that it was Li Qinghan, and said, "Well, I'm researching real estate." ”

"Real estate? What is Real Estate? Can you eat it? ”

Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Of course you can't eat it, real estate is the property of houses and land as the name suggests." ”

Li Qinghan sighed and asked again: "Do you want to do real estate?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan snapped his fingers: "Smart, you answered correctly." ”

"Oh, is this easy to do? How? ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly, in fact, he didn't know how to do it, after all, he had not been in contact with real estate development before.

Ma Xiaoquan pointed to the map and asked Li Qinghan: "Qinghan, from your personal point of view, which piece of land do you think is the best in our Beijing city, uh~ except for the palace." ”

Li Qinghan stepped forward to take a look, raised his head and said, "If you want to say that the piece is good, I think as long as it is relatively close to the palace, it is good." ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "However, the palace is surrounded by the houses and land of dignitaries, and everyone lives in it, I'm afraid it's very difficult for me to get involved, so I plan to temporarily radiate to the surrounding areas of Sijiu City." ”

The next day, Ma Xiaoquan led Li Qinghan to the vicinity of Sijiu City to investigate.

In the Ming Dynasty, the city of Beijing was mainly divided into three major departments, one part was used as a training ground for the Central Group Army, the second part was the gathering place of merchants who traveled to and from Beijing City, and the third part, and the largest part, was farmland.

The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and Ma Xiaoquan did not take into account the farmland part for the time being, and the first two parts, after Ma Xiaoquan inspected Guò, decided to find an opportunity to intervene.

Returning to Ma's house, Ma Xiaoquan immediately began to prepare, and his first target was the training ground of the Central Army.

The training ground is located in the south outside Beijing, and the facilities in it are outdated and the field is full of potholes.

Ma Xiaoquan's original draft plan was only aimed at the renovation of the housing and land of the training ground, but after thinking about it again, he felt that he should start from the whole, that is, completely renovate the training ground.

However, the renovation work of the training ground has been mentioned for many years, but there has been no movement, and the reason for this is that Ma Xiaoquantong Guò Jinyiwei's internal files have also learned a lot.

Ma Xiaoquan was very puzzled, since he already had a lot of evidence, why not deal with it actively? For this reason, Ma Xiaoquan inquired in many ways and found some information, combined with the new information, the most fundamental reason why the Ming government ~ government has not renovated the training ground is the decline of national strength and internal corruption

"Hmm~~" Ma Xiaoquan frowned, threw the information in his hand on the table, slowly stood up, and exhaled deeply.

Ma Xiaoquan's side, Li Qinghan asked, "Ma Xiaoquan, what should I do?" Do we want to do it at the training ground? ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "What I do is to do it, but how to do it, I don't have a good idea yet." By the way, Qinghan, how many of our sisters who used to be in the Purple Family Academy are in place now? ”

Li Qinghan said: "The five golden flowers are all in place, and it will take some time for the others to be in place." ”

"Well, it's good, then let's wait a few more days, Qinghan, I need you to help me do something these days, well, pull the five golden flowers together, it's like this"

Li Qinghan leaned over his ears and nodded his head while listening, and after listening, Li Qinghan was surprised: "Ma Xiaoquan, is this okay?" Isn't it a bit risky? ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "It's natural to take risks, well, I'll go to meet the emperor early tomorrow morning to see the situation in the palace." ”

"Good!"

Just when Ma Xiaoquan was discussing how to intervene, Wei Jinzhong also pulled his own group of dogs to hold a secret meeting.

Coincidentally, Wei Jinzhong has recently focused on the renovation of the training ground, of course, he and Ma Xiaoquan's goals are different, Ma Xiaoquan is to do practical things, and then get more from the project money, while Wei Jinzhong has never thought about renovation, his purpose is just to make money.

"How many of you, do you have any results?" Wei Jinzhong tapped on the table and asked.

In front of Wei Jinzhong, Dai Zheng said in a weird manner: "Uncle, there are results, but there are results, but there seems to be a little change." ”

"Well, what's changed?"

Dai Zheng stood up and said respectfully: "Uncle, the renovation and renovation of this training ground has always been the business of the Ministry of Industry, and those who have something to do with the Ministry of Industry, as well as the Ministry of War and the Criminal Department, especially a person named Lu Zhan in the Criminal Department, I heard that he is actually the main person in charge of every training ground renovation project. ”

Wei Jinzhong's old eyebrows frowned slightly, and he nodded: "Lu Zhan, well, the squire of the Criminal Department, I have an impression of this person." ”

Dai Zheng said with a smile: "Uncle, the Lu family where Lu Zhan is located is at odds with Ma Xiaoquan's Ma family. ”

"Oh? How discordant is it? ”

Dai Zheng shook his head, uncertain: "I heard that it was a feud, um~~"

"Feud" Wei Jinzhong smiled, "Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan, I didn't expect your Ma family to have a feud, um~~ Dai Zheng, you go down to implement it, see if this is the case, and, find a time, arrange, I want to meet Lu Zhan." ”

Dai Zhengyin smiled: "Uncle, do you mean to get a piece of the pie from Lu Zhan?" ”

"A piece of the pie? Hmph, I want it all! Wei Jinzhong said, clenching his fists fiercely.
