Beidi, Shangjun County Skin Treatment Treatment, Chang Gongzi Mansion.

Meng Tian hurriedly walked into Fusu's study. He didn't even bother to say hello and went straight to report:

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"An official letter has been sent from Xianyang, informing the counties in the north that His Majesty the Emperor will tour the north after the spring begins, and requires all counties to prepare in advance!"

Meng Tian's tone of voice was not particularly urgent, because the news didn't come out of the blue, there had been rumors for a long time.

But after the matter was settled, he still cared about it, otherwise he would not have come to report to Fusu immediately.

Fusu was very calm. He first waved to Meng Tian to sit down, and then replied calmly:

"Since we have been told to prepare early, let's make preparations."

"The population in the North is sparse, and we have to take care of the two important projects of the Great Wall and the Straight Road. For a while, we will not be able to squeeze out more manpower to build a palace for His Majesty the Emperor, so I will renovate my mansion to welcome the Emperor."

In just one sentence, Fusu arranged all the preparation work they had to do - even though it was just one thing.

Generally speaking, the preparations to welcome the emperor are face-saving projects, including preparing a suitable residence, expelling the refugees in the city, cleaning the streets, exterminating the bandits, rectifying the administration (for face), etc...

Apart from preparing the mansion, everything else is not difficult. After all, it is not really necessary to make any fundamental changes. It is just a look that can fool you for a few days.

But these are completely unnecessary for the Northland, at least for the area that Fusu once governed - it has nothing to do with the difficulty, it is simply unnecessary.

There are few people in the North, and commerce is not developed. Most of the cities are "deserted" and there is nothing to clean up.

The bandits and bandits outside the city have all been wiped out eight hundred years ago. The latecomers who want to get into this industry have basically gone to other places to beg for food.

In terms of administration, not only were all honest and capable officials, but at least they were above average, and the emperor could not find any faults.

After counting it down, the only thing that needed to be prepared was the emperor's residence.

Theoretically, a dignified emperor would naturally live in a palace.

But reality simply doesn’t allow it.

Yingzheng had no shortage of palaces. Xianyang was full of palaces and palaces built by him. There were hundreds of them, not including the super-project Epang Palace that was under construction.

But this is only limited to the Guanzhong area.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are basically no places outside Guanzhong, even after leaving Xianyang.

There are many reasons for this. For example, there are no relevant regulations in the system, or there was no demand before.

The empire's limited dominance outside Guanzhong is also one of the reasons.

In Xianyang, a palace of sufficient standard may take one, two or three years to be built, but in Qilu, Jingchu and other places, it may take ten years to complete.

For a major national project like the construction of Ling Canal, Ying Zheng could mobilize enough manpower and invest enough power to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

But he couldn't go through such trouble to build a palace.

Of course, it doesn't mean that it can't be built. The main reason is that it is troublesome, and there are many other reasons.

After comprehensive consideration, basically no palaces were built for Ying Zheng outside Guanzhong - he did erected many monuments along the way during his eastward tour.

Therefore, when Ying Zheng visited the east, various places tried their best to find a suitable place for him to stay.

Ying Zheng himself also knew that in many places he stayed on the carriage without entering the city.

This time the Northern Tour was similar.

It takes several months to prepare, let alone build a palace, or even a large house of decent size. What's more, the population and finances of many places do not allow the start of projects of this scale.

Fushi was relatively prosperous under Fusu's governance, but Fusu didn't intend to waste extra manpower and material resources, so he just used his own Young Master's Mansion to replace it.

At worst, I can find another place to deal with it casually for a few days.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a prince, Ying Zheng was not only an emperor but also a father to him, so he had to be more sincere. His Prince's Mansion wouldn't need to be renovated, and it would be fine to just use it as it is.
