The Minister of Works, holding the blueprints, said, "Emperor, these are the blueprints drawn up after yesterday's inspection according to the requirements. Please take a look."
The Emperor took the blueprints and compared them with those of the capital from before. The planning was neater, and his demands were met. Looking at the spacious streets on the blueprints, the Emperor felt at ease and handed them to the Third Prince. "You should have a look too."
Zhang Jingshi examined the blueprints carefully and couldn't find any faults. "The Works Department's blueprints, your son believes they are very good."
The Emperor turned to Zhou Shuren and said, "The Works Department should tally up the materials required and calculate the cost in silver. The Ministry of Revenue must hasten to verify the amount."
Pausing for a moment, the Emperor continued, "This silver is all to be spent on the people. The Third Prince, you must remember that."
