Chapter 665: Cement Palace (Congratulations to the lonely little star for becoming the leader of the alliance!) )
Lin Changshi was nervous about the imminent arrival of the emperor and received the emperor. But at the same time www.biquge.info I am also very proud in my heart, the local governor's history, there are too few opportunities to meet the emperor.
But Li Xiangguo really didn't take it seriously, and actually wanted to arrange the emperor to Yuliang Island, which was a big sandbar, except for farmland, there was nothing else.
In seven days, what will be used to build the emperor's palace and the official offices of three provinces and six departments?
If they fail to do anything well, it will be a dereliction of duty, and then it will become a faux pas, and then it will be a crime of negligence and deception. The emperor is going to bring the emperor, the abolished prince, the empress, the concubine, the concubine, the prince, the prince, the royal brother, etc. There are so many people, and there are indeed enough places in Dashazhou, but what about the houses where so many people want to live, really make a tent city?
Are you kidding.
He's getting old, and he's about to become a leader. Do you want to make this welcome of the holy car a joke, so that everyone in the world will know that what they have prepared for the emperor and hundreds of officials in Xiangzhou is not a comfortable and gorgeous palace, but a barren sandbar?
The emperors came to Xiangyang, and they didn't even have a house to live in, so they wanted to live on a desert island and sleep in tents?
Does that sound like words?
Li Chao had to say that he could build a house in seven days, and if he could build one in seven days, he could build ten hundred houses, and Lin Changshi was very angry. Li Chao is strong He knows that he is very capable, he is barbaric in raising food, and he has done several major things as soon as he came to Shannan, but how can he build ten hundred houses in seven days?
Lin Changshi was waiting at the gate of the city on a donkey, he wanted to see how Li Chao would do it.
The low-lying land between Yuliangping and Yuliangzhou, because of the long-term drought, has long been out of water, the mud is cracked, and the pieces are rolled up, and from a distance, it looks like a roof tile paved on the ground.
During this time, due to locust hunting, piles of firewood and traces of bonfires can still be seen in this low-lying land. There are also many dry ditches by the fire.
Li Chao rode a black horse, Li Chengqian rode a white horse, followed by a group of princes' sons and daughters riding ponies.
"Let's go!"
Stepping on the dusty road, Li Chao and his entourage went to the continent.
Yuliang Island is very large, how big is it?
Chang'an City is almost 60 square kilometers in size, while Yuliangzhou is nearly 30 square kilometers, so Yuliangzhou is half the size of Chang'an City. It's just that the shape of Yuliangzhou is a begonia leaf-shaped, and it has a small tail.
Half of Chang'an City is already very large. In later generations, Manhattan Island in the United States was only more than 50 square kilometers, and Kaifeng City in the Northern Song Dynasty was only 50 square kilometers.
Ascend to Yuliang Island, this large sandbar was originally a fertile soil, but because of the severe drought, the crops on it have also been harvested this year. At this time, the island was in a state of gloom, and the people were organized by the government every day to catch locusts and dry fish.
Li Chao took people to ride horses while strolling around, and finally came to the east river.
On the other side of the river, there is Dongjin Port, and many goods from the east are loaded onto ships at this wharf and transported to Fancheng in the northwest or Xiangyang City in the southwest, or directly along the river to Nanyang and other places, or along the Han River upstream into the Danjiang River, or Hanzhong land.
Dongjin Wharf is also a famous wharf in Xiangfan, which is very lively.
If Li Chao wants to build a palace for Li Shimin on the island within seven days, even if it is a simple palace, he has to rely on this pier.
"Did the stuff get on board?" Li Chao looked at the other side and asked a person beside him.
"Back to Xiangguo, the things have already arrived at the Dongjin wharf warehouse as instructed, and they have been loaded onto the ship early this morning, please see, the ship over there has come, it is our goods."
Lin Changshi was confused, did Li Xiangguo have already made arrangements?
Could it be that the materials for the building have been prepared in advance, but no matter what the materials, it is impossible to build many houses in seven days, not to mention that it is still a palace for the emperor to live in.
The fleet was loaded with Li Chao's cargo from the opposite shore.
There is a simple pier here, which is very convenient. The boat was ferryed, and soon docked.
Stop the boat, drop anchor.
The pallet was lowered, and several people jumped off the boat.
"Li Zan, the manager of Shannan Cement Factory, visited Xiangguo." The middle-aged man led by him saluted Li Chao.
Li Chao nodded, "Is there cement on the ship?" ”
"Hui Xiangguo, well, it's all cement."
Li Zan waved his hand, and a man on the boat carried a bucket of cement and got on the boat. Taking the wooden barrel into cement, quite thoughtful, Li Chao signaled to open it.
The lid of the barrel opens, revealing the gray cement inside.
Well, it looks like that.
This is the product of Li Chao Cement Factory, led by the Li family, providing technology, and then pulling many relatives to partner, contributing money and efforts, opening up mining enclosures to build factories, recruiting people to produce, and the initial investment is huge, and the final thing is this thing.
"Teacher, is this cement?" Cheng Qian pours more cement than Lin Changshi. I heard Li Chao say that the role of cement, an excellent material for construction, strong adhesion, and can also make concrete.
Because of the large investment in the cement plant, there are many relatives involved, so all aspects of manpower and material resources are sufficient, and the current batch of cement is actually the first batch of trial production of cement. After a preliminary inspection, it was found that the effect was good.
It's not perfect, but it's basically usable.
Li Chao actually didn't plan to build a magnificent palace for Li Shimin, especially at the moment, Xiangyang City couldn't live in it, and the palace on Yuliang Island was really just temporary.
There can be no carvings and paintings. There are no large stone rockeries. Li Chao's plan is very simple, level the ground and build a bungalow.
Li Shimin's is a large yard with a small yard and a one-story bungalow. Other yamen, etc., are also bungalows.
How simple and how to come.
The drawings were designed and planned by Li Chao himself, but they are actually very concise. The continent will be divided into three parts: the travel palace, the yacheng, and the military city. Among them, the palace city will be divided into two parts: the front palace and the back palace, and a separate palace will be built for the emperor.
But no matter what the front palace, the harem or the north palace are, they are just large bungalows, that is, bungalows with courtyards. It's just going deeper, and in general, it's all about how simple it is, how easy it is to repair, and how quickly it is.
Hand the drawings to the craftsmen, "Do you understand the drawings on this?" ”
"I understand." An old craftsman suppressed the fire in his heart and replied, how could they not understand such simple drawings? The drawings on it are so detailed, and the data marks are so clear, you can't understand it.
"Okay, just follow the above drawings for construction, immediately measure the land, slip the white line, and after leveling, dig the wall foundation, and then build the wall!"
"Build the Miyagi part first." Li Chao pointed to the north piece on the drawing.
The old craftsman was surprised, that piece is the palace?
You can look at the drawings and plans above and various signs, why is this palace city just a row of bungalow compounds, this is the emperor's palace?
That's a bit too basic, isn't it?
Li Chao saw the puzzled and surprised eyes of the craftsman, and said seriously, "That's right, that's His Majesty's palace, and the specifications and sizes on it are also correct, just press this!" ”
The lonely little star was promoted to the leader of the alliance, plus 10 more, and he still owes 188 chapters! (To be continued.) )
