Chapter 417: Drawings of the New Palace
"The two adults have worked hard." Xuan Shijing arched his hand.
Yan Lide smiled: "Although Liben and I have been drawing the drawings of the new palace, I have also heard that His Majesty asked Xuan Gong to supervise the construction of the new palace. ”
Xuan Shijing waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, and His Majesty has already dealt with this matter, let's reveal this matter, I thought that the drawings of the two adults would not come out until the end of the year, but I didn't expect it to be so much in advance, and now the matter of the new palace materials has been solved by more than half, it seems that Long Shouyuan will be able to start construction soon, and this progress has improved a lot unintentionally." ”
"The matter of the new palace is very important, Your Majesty attaches great importance to it, so I naturally dare not slack off, in the future, in the construction of the new palace, we will have to deal with Xuangong, if there is anything unstable on the part of the Ministry of Industry, I want Xuangong to mention more." Yan Lide said with a smile.
Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "The name of this superintendent is just a name, if it is just a formality, we are all happy, after all, I am also a lazy man, after the drawings are finalized, the construction of the dragon head will be able to start, and the two adults will free up their hands, like the same thing a few days ago, naturally there are two adults to deal with, as long as there is no mistake between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, the construction of the new palace will be more than half successful." ”
Xuan Shijing came to the Ministry of Industry today to meet the Yan family brothers, and also told them to rest assured that Xuan Shijing did not know as much as them about the construction of the new palace, so he would not interfere in the random command, everything was as usual, or the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household coordinated and commanded, Xuan Shijing watched from the wall, did not interfere, if there was any problem, they could solve it themselves, and they really couldn't solve it, so they came to him to find a way.
Xuan Shijing's approach is a typical hello, I am good, everyone is good, he is also a person who is afraid of trouble, as for the affairs of the household department and the Ministry of Industry, he is not willing to stir himself up.
Supervising the construction and supervising the construction, as long as there is no problem with the construction of the new palace, the rest of the things, as long as Xuan Shijing himself is not involved, he is happy to turn a blind eye, which is also the way of being an official.
"Well said, well said." Yan Lide said with a smile.
Previously, because of some official matters, Xuan Shijing was urgently recruited into the palace by His Majesty Li Er, and Yan Lide was very grateful for Xuan Shijing's behavior of not adding oil and vinegar in front of His Majesty to drag the two brothers into it, at least let him understand what kind of person Xuan Shijing was.
Subsequently, Yan Lide pulled Xuan Shijing to his desk and showed Xuan Shijing the drawings of the new palace.
In the 21st century, nearly 2,000 years later, Xuan Shijing did not have the opportunity to see the style of Daming Palace, but now, the drawings of Daming Palace are clearly displayed in front of him, and Daming Palace will also be completed under his own witness.
Although he had never seen anything in the afterlife, he had still seen the restored renderings, and it was definitely not the one Yan Lide showed him.
"It's exquisite, but it's not atmospheric." Xuan Shijing said after reading the first planned drawing.
Yan Liben next to him has been lying on the bookcase to paint since Xuan Shijing came in, and it has always been Yan Lide who receives Xuan Shijing, and after listening to Xuan Shijing's words, his eyes lit up, he raised his head and looked at Xuan Shijing: "Xuan Gong thinks the same way?" ”
"Since the new palace is built, it is best to do it in one step, this drawing is very good, there are no other shortcomings, the only point is that it is too small." Xuan Shijing said.
Yan Lide also nodded: "This first drawing also takes into account the expenditure of the national treasury, so when drawing it, I was a little shrunken, and it is precisely because of this that my brother and I decided to draw the second one, Hou Ye, please." ”
As he spoke, Yan Lide invited Xuan Shijing to Yan Liben's bookcase, and the paper on the bookcase was the second drawing that had not yet been drawn.
Xuan Shijing looked at it, and this second drawing was much stronger than the first, at least in terms of the area of the palace complex, it was more than twice as large as the first.
The three main halls in the front, middle and back, the original Yong'an Hall was the smallest and placed in the middle, the front is the largest main hall, and the back is a medium-sized apse. In this way, the Yong'an Palace does not need to be moved, it can be used directly by changing the name, and the square outside the Yong'an Palace, the foundation is ready-made, and the largest main hall can be directly built on this basis, which saves a lot of effort, but the wall outside the Yong'an Palace must be demolished.
"This is the second drawing that my brother and I have made, but this drawing has not yet been completed, but judging from the drawings that have been drawn, if the new palace is built on this scale..... It can't be built without three years of work. Yan Lide said.
"It's okay, and you don't have to worry about the treasury." Xuan Shijing said with a smile, Datang's treasury has never been as rich as it is today.
How many things were transported from Liaodong to Chang'an, Xuan Shijing knew in his heart, just two wars, destroying the two countries, and the money obtained would be enough to support the construction of the new palace.
Back then, Hou Junji failed to embezzle, and all the goods transported back to Chang'an from Gao Sing were filled with the treasury, and until now, the imperial court has no big expenses, can the treasury be without money?
If the treasury had no money, the household department would have jumped out to oppose His Majesty Li Er's construction of a new palace, and they would not listen to any reason, just a word, no money.
The treasury has no money, and the officials of the household department have no confidence in the court, and they have no right to speak, so the officials of the household department are more and more picky than one another, and if the treasury is not enough to support the construction of the new palace, the household department is definitely the first to jump out.
"Okay, then, my brother and I will hurry up to draw this second drawing, and strive to send it to the palace as soon as possible to present it to Your Majesty." Yan Lide said.
If this second drawing can be completed, then the Yan family brothers will also have a bright face in their lives.
The beauty of palace architecture is different from the painting on paper, the latter gives an artistic conception, while the former, it is immersive and shocking.
Xuan Shijing out of the Ministry of Engineering, he went directly back to Zhuangzi in Dongshan County with his entourage, the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, and the courses of Zhuangzi in the academy were also arranged, since Xuan Shijing and Gao Shilian said that they would teach in the academy, then he must not lose his words, no matter how big the matter in Chang'an City, it is a small matter for Xuan Shijing, and the matter of the academy, no matter how small, is a big thing.
The academy has just begun to lay the foundation, if the foundation is not good, then the academy will not have much future for development, since Xuan Shijing has already paid a lot for the academy, then it is absolutely not allowed to give up halfway.
Gao Shilian set the course time for Xuan Shijing on the afternoon of August 17, and the whole afternoon belonged to Xuan Shijing.
