After Yan Changqing stopped looking at himself and others, Mao Xiang continued:
"Your Majesty ordered us to send the designated location information of the Agricultural College to Bachelor Yan."
When he said this, Lu Wenzhao, Lu Jianxing, Jin Chuan and others standing behind Mao Xiang and Jiang Wei slightly raised the files in their hands, indicating that these were the agricultural colleges concerned with the demarcation. A dossier document of location-related information.
Yan Changqing showed a look of assurance on his face, nodded, stepped aside to open the door, and said in a calm tone:
"come in."
"excuse me!"
Mao Xiang, Jiang Wei and others bowed their heads slightly, and then under the guidance of Yan Changqing, they entered the interior of Yan Changqing's mansion for the first time.
Although it was their first time to enter Yan Changqing's mansion, strictly speaking, they were no strangers to Yan Changqing's mansion. It should even be said that they were familiar with the layout of Yan Changqing's mansion.
As early as the first day they received the order from Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang asking them to secretly protect and monitor (supervise) Yan Changqing, they had secretly figured out the overall layout of Yan Changqing's mansion through various methods.
On weekdays, for twelve hours a day, Jin Yiwei would always secretly peek and observe (monitor) Yan Changqing through the light holes around the mansion.
It is guaranteed that Yan Changqing will not be out of sight of their Jin Yiwei at all times.
It can be said that although they have not communicated with Yan Changqing, they are already very familiar with it.
After leading Mao Xiang, Jiang Wei and others to sit down in the main hall, Yan Changqing opened the file document about the address of the Agricultural College that was sent to him. He looked at the file document without raising his head and asked:
"Do you know the location information of the Agricultural College?!!"
"If you know anything about it, please tell me the general situation there."
Upon hearing Yan Changqing's inquiry, Mao Xiang replied without hesitation:
"The Agricultural College area assigned by His Majesty to Bachelor Yan is located in the northern suburbs of Yingtian Mansion, within Shangyuan County."
"There is a moat in front, Jinchuan River on the left, and Black Tortoise Lake on the right. There is also a tributary that flows into the city from the moat, and finally flows diagonally to Black Tortoise Lake. It can be said that it is surrounded by water on all sides and is flat in the middle."
"The entire Agricultural College area is square and quite square. Although the fields within it are not the best paddy fields, they are also medium-to-high-quality fertile fields near water."
"Currently, there are 1,565 registered farmers within the Agricultural College area, each with three to five people, for a total of 6,260 people."
"These farmers have been classified as tenants of the Agricultural College and are managed by Yanxuegong or the Agricultural College."
"For these 1,565 households, Your Majesty has said that if Academician Yan doesn't like them being there, they can be ordered to move out, but Academician Yan must give them three times more compensation, and they must not be forced to move."
Mao Xiang is also very familiar with the relevant information about the location of the Agricultural College.
After all, the information Yan Changqing is looking at now was collected by Jin Yiwei, and he personally reviewed the purpose.
So when Yan Changqing asked, he could answer on the spot.
With Mao Xiang explaining at his side, and with the reference of these files and documents in his hand, Yan Changqing soon had a general understanding of the location information of the Agricultural College assigned to him by Zhu Yuanzhang.
After learning about it, Yan Changqing was deeply satisfied with the location of the Agricultural College.
It is a square shape with no mountains or peaks, surrounded by water, and the land is flat. It is really suitable for construction!!!
Even the design and planning drawing of the Agricultural College University Town that he has made these days actually does not need any modification.
Because the design plan he made is a rectangular design plan, but the design plan divides university town areas with different functions one after another.
Originally, he planned to embed various university town area design plans with different functions according to the actual location of the agricultural college.
As a result, because the site of the Agricultural College was too flat and boxy, he only needed the design and planning of the Agricultural College.
Then just expand the design plan a thousand times, and finally turn it into a real agricultural college.
[Sure enough, in this era, the most worthy people to cooperate with are the members of the royal family, especially the emperor!!!]
[After all, if the emperor had not personally ordered it, a piece of land like this, which covers an area of 3,000 acres, is surrounded by water on all sides, and has a flat middle, it would be impossible to divide oneself so easily!!]
[The location of the Agricultural College has been determined, and the next step is money and people. 】
[As long as the money and people have arrived, we can go over for an on-site inspection in the past two days, and construction can officially start in three or five days. 】
Thinking of this, Yan Changqing looked at Mao Xiang and asked:
"The investment of one hundred thousand taels prepared by Your Majesty and Your Highnesses, and the corresponding manpower of one thousand craftsmen, are these all ready?!!"
Mao Xiang also nodded, glanced at Jin Yiwei Qianhu Lu Wenzhao standing behind him, and said at the same time:
"This is the one hundred thousand taels that His Majesty asked us to send over. Please count it and confirm it, Master Yan."
As Mao Xiang finished speaking, Lu Wenzhao also opened the wooden box he had been carrying, and one hundred thousand taels of silver were neatly placed inside.
"At the same time, the various craftsmen needed by Academician Yan have been mobilized from the internal officials and are ready to be dispatched by Academician Yan at any time."
"In addition, from today on, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Tongzhi Jiang Yu, and his five Jinyi Guards Qianhu, all obey the orders of Academician Yan."
"If Academician Yan has anything to do, he can ask them to do it for him."
"If they can't complete it, they will report it to me and I will handle it on my behalf."
"If I can't handle it, then I will further report it to His Majesty, who will ultimately decide on Scholar Yan's request."
Mao Xiang pointed to Jiang Yu who was sitting next to him and the five Jinyi Guards Qianhu standing behind them, and said calmly.
If there were only 3,000 people responsible for protecting Yan Changqing, then there would be no need to transfer Jiang Wei, a fellow commander of the Jinyiwei.
After all, there are only two command notices in the entire Jinyi Guard, and they are also his right-hand men [responsible for assisting him in handling many matters of the fourteen Jinyi Guards].
But now the number of Jinyi Guards responsible for protecting Yan Changqing has increased to 5,000, accounting for one-third of the total number of people in the fourteen Jinyi Guards.
If a Jinyiwei commander who is higher than Jinyiwei Qianhu is not mobilized to suppress these five Jinyiwei Qianhu, then the five thousand Jinyiwei Qianhu will easily be in trouble.
After all, the five Jinyiwei Qianhu are all on the same level in theory, and any Jinyiwei Qianhu can listen to or not listen to what other Jinyiwei Qianhu says.
.....................
Regarding how to monitor and protect Yan Changqing, if they are not satisfied with the plans of other Jinyiwei Qianhu, they can directly use their own plans to monitor and protect Yan Changqing.
In the past, Mao Xiang would not have objected to such an approach. After all, in this way, he could see which Jinyiwei Qianhu was better.
But this time when the person to be protected and monitored was Yan Changqing, Mao Xiang no longer dared to let them go their own way.
After all, it is easy to select the better Jin Yiwei Qianhu with their own way of doing things.
But it was at the cost of mistakes in the supervision and protection plan formulated by one or even a few members of the Jinyiwei Qianhu.
Facing Yan Changqing, who received the utmost attention from Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Rang did not dare to let him make any mistakes.
Therefore, I would rather be busy and carefree myself, and I must bring in a fellow commander to come over here and have an overview of the overall situation.
Anyway, the emperor also gave him the power to increase the number of Jinyiwei men. At worst, he would choose an acting commander from among the remaining thousands of Jinyiwei families to help deal with Jiang Ying's affairs.
In my impression, there is a Jinyiwei Qianhu named Ji Gang who seems to be quite capable. Looking back, if suitable, he can be promoted to the deputy Jinyiwei commander.
After Mao Xiang finished speaking, Jiang Yu also stood up from his seat, together with Lu Wenzhao, Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan and other thousands of royal guards behind him [all bowed and saluted:
"Listen to Academician Yan/Master Yan's instructions!!!"
Seeing this scene, Yan Changqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and asked uncertainly:
"The commander of the Jin Yiwei, and the five Jin Yiwei Qianhu?!"
"Does this mean that the thousands of people under the five Jinyi Guards and thousands of households will also obey my orders?!!"
Mao Xiang nodded and said:
"From the commander of the Jinyi Guards, the Commander-in-Chief Jiang Wei, down to the ordinary members of the Jinyi Guards, there are a total of 5,586 people, all of whom obey the orders of Academician Yan."
"However, their main task is to protect Academician Yan. As long as the protection of Academician Yan is not affected, they will obey Academician Yan's orders.'
"If there is a conflict between Academician Yan's order and protecting Academician Yan, then they will still give priority to protecting Academician Yan."
"They will not carry out other orders from Academician Yan until the safety of Academician Yan is guaranteed."
After hearing Mao Xiang's reply, Yu Changqing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Yan Changqing found that he might have underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang's generosity.
【Good guy! What a big deal!! It’s really a big deal!!!】
[Five royal guards from thousands of households, totaling more than 5,000 people, were all sent to protect me, and even obeyed my orders!!!]
[I’m afraid that Prince Zhu Biao may not even enjoy such treatment, right?!!]
After the shock, Changqing's heart immediately surged with excitement.
Now that the money, land, and people are all ready, what are you waiting for?!!
"Let's go! Let's go to Shangyuan County now!!!"
Yan Changqing immediately gave the order without hesitation.
