After General Qi left, Ye Wuwei said to Nie Youren:

"Tell Yao Guangzhi and the others to make more noise on weekdays, so they can compete with each other and have fun.

Also, find some dead snakes and rats and throw them into Zhaohua Palace, but remember to disinfect them so you don't bring any viruses into Zhaohua Palace."

Nie Youren gave Ye Wuwei a thumbs up: "How did you come up with such a tricky idea?"

Ye Wuwei smiled and said nothing.

What's so difficult about this? In modern times, people in charge of demolition have many methods, and he just picked the simplest one.

"Remember to remind Yao Guangzhi not to act alone and to keep a distance from the palace maids to avoid being framed for molestation or adultery."

Nie Youren's expression became more serious: "I'll remember it."

Qi Kangping looked at Ye Wuwei:

This man looks bright and cheerful on the outside, but his words and actions are actually scoundrels. Yet, he is also very thoughtful and thorough, making it difficult to find fault with him.

The same is true of what Master Duzhuang said before.

It's obviously not entirely true, but one can't find any words to refute it.

After taking a few glances, Qi Kangping withdrew his gaze and told Qi Wushuang the compensation results he and Nie Youren had discussed.

Qi Wushuang's mind was no longer on political affairs. "Just discuss it with Captain Nie."

After Qi Kangping left, Qi Wushuang asked Ye Wuwei, "What were you talking about with Prince Su just now? Why did you talk for so long?"

Ye Wuwei told Qi Yushen what he had said.

Qi Wushuang had no objection to Qi Yushen recommending his two brothers-in-law, but he still said with some sourness:

"He tells you everything."

"In fact, our relationship was not as good as it is now."

"why?"

Ye Wuwei said nothing.

When he was in Anping County before, although he and Qi Yushen had a good chat, there was always a layer of distance between them.

That layer is that Qi Yushen did not really regard Ye Wuwei as a person of equal status.

Not now.

Ye Wuwei was a popular figure around Qi Wushuang, so Qi Yushen naturally no longer felt superior to him, and the relationship between the two became truly close.

However, Ye Wuwei didn't think there was anything wrong with Qi Yushen doing this.

At the beginning, Qi Yushen was the prince of a county, and he was just a beggar. The fact that Qi Yushen could sit at the same table with him to drink and talk was already better educated than most people.

If it were Qi Yuye, he would have kicked him and told him to get out.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Wuwei is truly willing to be friends with Qi Yushen.

Although Ye Wuwei understood, there was no need to express these thoughts.

Nie Youren had already talked about Qi Kangping with Qi Wushuang.

"He just asked me what position he should fill out on his application form."

"What does he think?"

"Of course he still wants to stay in the court, but he also knows that he can't stay in the Imperial Guard any longer, so he doesn't know where to go."

Qi Wushuang asked Ye Wuwei, who was distracted at the side, "What do you think?"

Ye Wuwei answered casually: "It depends on whether he is willing to leave Chamdo and go to another military camp? For example, Chunyu Mansion."

Qi Wushuang looked back at Nie Youren: "Tell him what Wuwei wants."

Nie Youren agreed.

Qi Wushuang asked Ye Wuwei again: "What were you thinking about just now?"

"I was wondering where Nie Canling and his men would live."

After Ye Wuwei said this, Qi Wushuang realized that he had missed a very important point.

Before, Nie Youren and his men were guarding Tongguan and Huguan, so they didn't need to worry about where to live in Chamdo City.

But now they have to stay in Chamdo City for a long time, so they naturally have to bring their families over, and that requires a house.

Nie Youren had thought of this a long time ago, but Qi Wushuang was very busy these days so he didn't bring it up. Now it's best for Ye Wuwei to say it out loud.

Qi Wushuang called everyone to a meeting.

Now all the people left in Taiji Hall are Qi Wushuang's old friends.

Qi Wushuang told Chu Fuchi what Ye Wuwei had just said, and asked, "What's the current situation of the house in Changdu City?"

Chu Fuchi had thought about this problem a long time ago, but he was busy with Qi Wushuang's administration and didn't mention it to Qi Wushuang.

Now seeing Qi Wushuang asking, Chu Fuchi said:

"Most of the better houses in Changdu City are occupied by aristocratic families and nobles. It's okay to find a few good houses, but it's impossible to find so many houses at once."

If one regime overthrows another, it can confiscate the properties of the officials of the previous regime. Now that Qi Wushuang has not touched his old ministers, it is naturally impossible to confiscate their properties.

Qi Wushuang frowned again.

Ye Wuwei didn't want to see Qi Wushuang frown, so he said, "Then let's build a new one."

Everyone looked at Ye Wuwei.

Who doesn't want a nice house?

Chu Fuchi asked Ye Wuwei, "There's no more vacant space in the center of Changdu City. Where should we build it?"

It's impossible to build it on the outskirts of Qamdo, right? That would be too inconvenient for everyone to attend court meetings.

"Build it to the west of Qamdo."

The west of Chamdo City is a slum area, where all the poor people live.

Some generals objected:

“How can this be possible?

There are many ordinary people living there, and some have entire families crammed into one house. If we build our house there, where will they live?"

"Demolition."

Chu Fuchi heard some clues from Ye Wuwei's words, "Please elaborate."

"We signed an agreement with them to relocate them to the suburbs. The houses in the suburbs are several times larger than their current houses and are all new."

"I understand".

Chu Fuchi immediately understood what Ye Wuwei wanted to do:

“Although the suburbs are more remote than where they live now, they are willing to move there because the houses are new and big.

And when they move out, the places they live in will become vacant, and we can tear them down and rebuild.”

"Yes, we chose the west side of the city because the houses there are very dilapidated, and many are crumbling. If there is strong wind, heavy rain, or heavy snow, the houses may collapse."

Qi Cheng helped Chu Fuchi handle government affairs for a period of time, and he also realized:

"We need the land in the west of the city, and the people need good houses to live in. This is a win-win situation."

"That depends on how the court operates.

If the court takes the interests of the people into consideration, it's a win-win situation. If the court is unwilling to spend more money, then it's not so easy to say."

Qi Wushuang also understood: "The glass workshop has been making good profits recently. Let's make this a win-win situation."

The others also became happy when they saw this.

Chu Fuchi had actually handled specific government affairs, unlike the generals who only knew how to charge into battle. He asked Ye Wuwei:

"The method is feasible, it just takes time..."

"Normally, demolition is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. We have to build new houses on the outskirts of the city first, move them there, and then tear down and rebuild the west side of the city.

But now we don’t have that much time, so we have to do it simultaneously.”

"How do we proceed?"

“It’s summer now, the weather is not cold yet, I’m just afraid of the rain.

We found a high ground, set up tents and settled them there first, and then led them to build a new home together.

Of course, they didn’t build it in vain; the court had to pay them.”
