Cheng Yue said unceremoniously: "Pingzhang can only see the present, but not the long-term. The ground is not enough, you can develop to the sky, the reinforced concrete that Chen is making now can easily build a high-rise building of more than ten floors, if you don't consider the inconvenience of going up and down, there will be no problem with dozens of floors in the future. I can bet with Pingzhang that in the future, I will definitely be able to build a 100-storey or even a hundred-storey high-rise building, which can easily go up and down by the escalator that goes straight up and down, and at that time, it will not be difficult for tens of millions of people to live in Lin'an City. The problem of grain can also be solved, now the minister is planting new crops in Suzhou, three crops a year, next year can be promoted to other places, the output of grain can be increased by more than five times, in the future can also raise a large number of livestock, everyone wants to eat meat can eat all kinds of meat at any time. In the future, people will not only live well, but also eat better than they do now. If you don't believe me, I can build a tall building by the West Lake so that you can see what the future looks like. ”

Up and down the hall, they were fascinated by the future depicted by Cheng Yue, a high-rise building with more than 100 floors, and an escalator going straight up and down, what is it like? What is a crop that can grow five times as much food?

Chen Yizhong said: "Don't brag about the governor, it's not that a dozen floors of buildings can't be built now, it's just expensive and useless, what's the big deal about the reinforced concrete of the governor?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Okay, seeing is believing, hearing is false, I will make a bet with the two prime ministers." Not only can I build it, but it won't cost a lot of money, and I can make money, do you want to bet with me? ”

Liu Mengyan groaned, "How long?" "In the Song Dynasty, it took one to two years to build a ten-story building, and countless craftsmen were mobilized to prepare good materials. It's a lot of money. Therefore, ministers have always discouraged officials from building such extravagant things.

Cheng Yue thought for a while and said, "Half a year." The first high-rise building was a little more cautious, and I had to train some craftsmen, not so quickly. ”

"Half a year?! Only half a year?! Wen Tianxiang was so anxious that he almost rushed over to pull his son-in-law away, how could half a year be enough? Although the cement is good, it is paved on the road, and no one has used it to build a building. The words above the court are spreading, if you can't do it at that time, who will believe what Cheng Yue said?

Xie Daoqing turned around and said, "Is half a year too little?" A dozen storeys of high-rise buildings. A year is too short, so don't be in a hurry. She also wanted to see a dozen stories of tall buildings in front of her, but if something happened because of this, it was not what she wanted to see.

Cheng Yue bowed and said: "Sage, please rest assured, the minister can make a military order, within half a year, the minister will definitely build a twelve-story building by the West Lake, and then the minister will ask the sage to climb the tower and look into the distance, presumably the scenery is very different." ”

Hearing that Cheng Yue had even made a military order, the ministers couldn't help but get excited. A dozen floors of high-rise buildings, with Cheng Yue's ability. Maybe you can see it after half a year, and you must go and see it yourself. When the time comes, you can drink and enjoy the scenery from the high-rise building, how wonderful.

Xu Nang was almost dying next to him, didn't he say religious law? Why did you run to the unrelated matter of building high-rise buildings? Don't fall for Cheng Yue's plan.

Xu Nang coughed lightly, and the ministers remembered that they were talking about legislation today. Xie Daoqing said: "Two Pingzhang, what is the law set by the Grand Governor?" Is there any ultra vires, and can it be promulgated? This is not that Xie Daoqing deliberately shirked his responsibility, but he really wanted to consult them.

Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong glanced at each other, they didn't want to stop Cheng Yue's legislation on religion, anyway, it was Cheng Yue who offended people, what did they have to do with it? If the people are disgusted, they will benefit from it. But if Cheng Yue is supported, wouldn't that be an acknowledgment that Cheng Yue can legislate on anything? Besides, Xu Nang and Jia Yuqing have already stood up to impeach Cheng Yue, they can't ignore it, right?

Chen Yizhong made a look to the left and right, and left a dream to comprehend.

Chen Yizhong stood up and said: "The minister thinks that the governor of the capital is indeed suspected of overstepping his authority. There is nothing negligent in the Zongzheng Temple, and the legislation must be established by the Zongzheng Temple. After the use of monks and nuns to make trouble is exposed, it is bound to be impossible to use poison schemes, and after all, there are only a few hundred monks and nuns who make trouble, but the suppression of monks and nuns by the governor is all over the world, and it is not advisable for ministers to steal. ”

Liu Mengyan continued: "The minister thinks that the Metropolitan Governor was almost plotted by eight thoughts, and it is precisely because of the monks and nuns being used that the Metropolitan Governor legislated for this and did not overstep his authority. To take or not to take, are all in the imperial court. Although the laws of the Metropolitan Governor are unheard of, the leniency in them is not difficult to see, and there is no compulsion not to believe in Buddhism, not to be monks and nuns, and the difference is only recognized by the imperial court. Although there are restrictions on the religions, there is no persecution, and taxes can be enriched. In order to prevent any more monks, nuns and believers from being used by others, the Metropolitan Governor's legislation was also a last resort, and the ministers seconded it. ”

The two prime ministers are positive and negative, and they have a good show.

Cheng Yue smiled faintly, the reaction of the two was basically not what he expected, he stood up and offended people, why should they object?

Xie Daoqing scolded secretly in his heart: two old slippery heads. She also knew that Cheng Yue was in court today, and he would not take a break if he did not achieve his goal, anyway, it had nothing to do with her, and he scolded Cheng Yue, so he said: What Liu Pingzhang said is very true, the Metropolitan Governor is almost harmed by foreign enemies, and the legislation is really necessary, so the legislation of the Metropolitan Governor will be handed over to the Division, and it will be promulgated immediately after it is established.

Cheng Yue thanked him, Xu Nang, and Jia Yuqing were bored and returned to the column.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the noise outside the palace could be heard, and the cries and shouts were continuous. Soon a chamberlain came to report that the more than 470 monks and nuns who were to be executed today had been pushed outside the palace gate by Zhang Gui and asked the governor to give an order.

The hearts of the ministers in the palace were cold, there were more than 470 people, and all of them were monks, how could the Great Song Dynasty kill so many people at one time? Cheng Yue's ruthlessness is really terrifying.

Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu also felt uncomfortable, they were women, they were scared to death when they heard the murder, and the guilty officials often opened their nets, but they didn't expect to encounter a big duel that they had not encountered in a hundred years.

It was originally the duty of the imperial court to behead criminals, and there were fixed days every year, and certain procedures had to be followed, but Cheng Yue used military law to circumvent these restrictions and deliberately wanted to kill people in the previous court, just to express his determination to pass the "Religious Law", and there would be no compromise at all. It's ridiculous that Xu Nang and Jia Yuqing also jumped out to impeach Cheng Yue, they didn't understand Cheng Yue's determination at all.

Some ministers couldn't bear it, and just wanted to stand up and persuade them. Cheng Yue waved his hand. They are not allowed to come out. Lang Sheng said: "The minister has found out that these monks and nuns are causing trouble in the country, bewitching the people, colluding with foreign enemies, and they are innocent, and they should all be killed according to military law!" If anyone dares to storm the court and obstruct the execution, it is regarded as the same crime. Don't let it go! The first level is passed to the Quartet, so that the monks and believers in the world are precepted! Cautious! Pass on my orders to the Metropolitan Governor, kill--! ”：

Quan Jiu had already covered Zhao Xian's ears, not wanting him to hear such murderous words at a young age. All the ministers in the palace were shocked, and they couldn't help but tremble and their scalps were numb. Fortunately, he didn't speak out against Cheng Yue just now, so it's better not to mess with him in the future.

Cheng Yue stood at the door of the main hall with his hands in his hands, looked at the direction of the palace gate, and always listened to the movements outside the palace. The hall looked at his firm and upright back with fear on his face, and Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu's eyes were also quite complicated. Both of them invariably remembered Duzong, who had passed away not long ago. If Duzong could have half of Cheng Yue's talent and decisiveness, why did the Great Song Dynasty fall into such a field?

Outside the palace gate, a roar like a mountain and a sea soon sounded. It was the believers who were clamoring, and they were immediately suppressed by the roar of the army led by Zhang Gui.

The drums of the execution suddenly rose and continued continuously, the bells were agitated, and the sky and the earth changed. The hour had come, and the armies shouted in unison again, "Kill!" A large piece of knife light suddenly rose into the sky, bringing up a sound of wind, and slashed down in unison.

Hundreds of bald heads fell in response, splattering blood that covered every inch of the execution ground with a thick layer of red. The execution ground, which was still noisy just now, was silent at this time, and everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. This momentary silence was immediately broken by a frenzied cry, followed by a frenzied cry, and the army shouted again, this time with a very regular and incessant shout, and it was Zhang Gui who gathered the army to push the crying believers aside.

The army completely overwhelmed the thousands of believers in momentum, and the cries from outside the palace gradually became smaller, and then sparse again, and after a long time, finally died down, and calm was restored outside the palace gate again.

Cheng Yue turned around and returned to the hall to stand, and the ministers also breathed a sigh of relief. The chamberlain just now came back to report: "The two saints, monks and nuns have all been beheaded, Commander Zhang led the army to quell the riots, the crowd has dispersed, and Commander Zhang is waiting outside the palace. ”

Cheng Yue said calmly: "Please strengthen the vigilance in the palace these days, and the ministers can be responsible for the outside." ”

Xie Daoqing said: "There is the governor of Lao. ”

The ministers sighed and dispersed, and Cheng Yue walked out of the hall not far away, and was pulled by Wen Tianxiang's sleeves.

Cheng Yue looked back and saw Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and others, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law is worried about the military order I made?" ”

Wen Tianxiang said worriedly: "Virtuous son-in-law, a high-rise building with more than ten floors, now there is not even a pattern, how can it be built in half a year?" Even if you cover it, can it be strong and durable? The humidity by the West Lake is very heavy, will the steel bars you said rust? Will the cement fall off? Virtuous son-in-law, don't be reckless in this matter, it's better to be cautious. ”

Cheng Yue said confidently: "Father-in-law, rest assured, my son-in-law has long wanted to build dozens of villas by the West Lake, and the places have been chosen, next to Yaleju, and now it's just another building." What I said was more than half a year is enough, maybe it can be completed ahead of schedule, and then the son-in-law will invite the father-in-law and the whole family to go upstairs to have a look. ”

Seeing that Cheng Yue was full of confidence, Wen Tianxiang and the others were not easy to talk about. They have seen Cheng Yue's skills, and they have never lied, maybe the reinforced concrete that Cheng Yue said can really build a high-rise building that they have never seen before.

Cheng Yue walked out of the palace gate and said goodbye to Wen Tianxiang and others one by one. Zhang Gui was already waiting beside him, and then he greeted him and said: "Governor, Tokhoff and Zhang Xiaozhong have guarded all the key places in the city, and the last general is here to listen to orders." ”

Cheng Yue nodded and smiled: "You did a good job today." I have enough men in my house, so you should watch all the places outside the city to prevent trouble, and I am afraid that there will be people who will try to connect with the officials and believers in other places. ”

Zhang Gui saluted and took the order.

Cheng Yue took Xiao Zhen and Ma Fu through the execution ground that was still full of blood, and went straight to Yaleju.

There is a large waterfront open space next to Yaleju, the size of a small community in later generations, and there is a hill behind it. It was originally bought by someone else to build another courtyard, but it was abandoned due to the previous war. Cheng Yue bought it and planned to build some villas according to the appearance of the future generations, which could also be used for the business of Yaleju in addition to living in it, and could also be used to promote his cement, glass and the design of the entire house. In addition to the temporary problem of electricity, Cheng Yue plans to get as close to the life of the future as possible, and it is really annoying to use the wooden toilet every day.

Because he was worried that Yaleju would be impacted, he was guarding near Yaleju, and when he saw Cheng Yue coming, he hurriedly came over to obey orders.

Cheng Yue ordered Tokhtok to send someone to lift the ground with a pickaxe, and kept digging deeper, he wanted to look at the foundation to decide whether he could build a building here. Taking advantage of the time others were digging, he walked around and made adjustments to his previous plans. Soon, the layout of the community was already taking shape in my mind.

Hundreds of people were busy all afternoon, digging a big pit a few zhang deep, and then digging harder and harder, it was really impossible to dig. Cheng Yue jumped down and took a look, the foundation was good, the rock layer below was thick enough to hold up a dozen floors, and there was no trouble with groundwater, it was really a good place.

Cheng Yue happily climbed up, pointed to the place he had determined, and told Totoku his thoughts and specific plans, and ordered Totoku to organize people tomorrow and excavate the foundation immediately, he wanted to build a building, build a high-rise building!

When he heard that Cheng Yue was going to build a high-rise building, he clapped his hands and shouted happily, a high-rise building with more than ten floors, he had only seen it in his dreams.

After deciding on this matter, Cheng Yue returned to the house in a comfortable mood, but before he arrived at the gate of the house, a family member waiting on the side of the road stopped Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue reined in his horse and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The family said: "Dadu Governor, now there are too many people in front of the mansion, there are people who burn incense, there are people who cry, and there are monks who chant scriptures and cross over, Mrs. is afraid that Dadu Governor will be angry, so she ordered her subordinates to ask Dadu Governor, do you want to go back to the house through the side door?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "It's good if there are too many people, I'm still afraid that there are too few people, you have made a lot of profits, right?" ”

The family smiled and said, "I didn't expect that someone would pay money to pay a tael of silver and kneel there, and there are really strange things in this world." There are still many people who want to come and join in the fun, I heard that they are not allowed to stand at the gate of the house without money, so they have to go back honestly, and there are not many fools who pay for it after all. The Metropolitan Governor's trick is really clever."

Cheng Yue smiled: "Okay, let's go back through the side door, and the back door is OK, so as not to delay your fortune." With that, everyone laughed, and went to the side door to return to the house.

Xiao Zhen Ma Fu went to the front door to guard, Cheng Yue walked to the study, picked up charcoal, and began to draw the design of the building. He was born in the special forces, and he has studied the relevant knowledge of architecture, and he can't be too complicated to design a building, and an ordinary building without an elevator can't stop him.
