After walking into the small courtyard belonging to Heijin, Li Yuanba found that the small courtyard was sitting north and facing south, and it was not only full of all kinds of lifelike stone sculptures, but also a lot of things that looked like assembled stone dolls.

Those stone carvings have people, buildings, and animals...... There are many kinds of dolls, but there are many types of animals.

Of course, these animal dolls are not very large, and even the largest of them is no more than half a person tall.

Li Yuanba looked a little curious, followed behind Hei Jin, leaned over and touched a canine animal assembled from stones, and said, "Hei Lao, this thing ...... Oops, ......"

Just when Li Yuanba's big hand landed on the stone canine doll's head, the doll suddenly moved 'click-la-la', which immediately startled Li Yuanba.

Like a frightened rabbit, Li Yuanba jumped three feet high, not to say that Li Yuanba was timid, but anyone who saw this kind of scene would be scared half to death.

"Click-......"

After only a few steps forward, the stone canine doll stopped, moving from extremely dynamic to extremely quiet, and it looked quite strange.

"W-what the hell is going on?"

Li Yuanba stared at the beads of his eyes, pointed to the canine doll that was only knee-high and looked silly, and said.

Although Hei Jin's face was a little old, a trace of pride appeared on his ruddy face, and he said: "Lord Wang, this is a machine beast, although it is only so simple and a few actions, it is the old man's life's work!" ”

"Oh?"

Li Yuanba was a little surprised when he heard this, if this thing was wooden, Li Yuanba would think that the black gold had installed a gear box clockwork in it, after all, the wood was relatively light, relying on the interaction force generated by the friction between the clockwork and the gear, it could naturally be driven to walk.

But what about stone? Stone is much heavier and more brittle than wood, if it were to be powered by clockwork. I'm afraid that it won't be able to drive it at all, and even the clockwork stick outside will be broken.

Therefore, Li Yuanba felt extremely surprised.

"Lord Wang, please go inside!" Hei Jin let Li Yuanba into the room and said, "Although the old man doesn't have the delicacies of the mountains and seas here, there is still coarse tea and light rice. If the prince doesn't dislike it......"

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay!" Li Yuanba relieved himself from Fang Cai's surprise, and said with a smile: "This king is not as squeamish as you think, it just so happens that this king is also hungry." If there's anything to eat, just serve it! ”

"The prince is free and easy!" A clean smile appeared on Hei Jin's face, and he said, "It just so happens that the old man's disciple has not finished drinking the wine he sent me some time ago. The prince will wait a while, the old man will go and get two side dishes, and he will have two drinks with the prince today. ”

Black Gold has a lot of things here, and before the first half of the incense stick, the old guy walked out with a wooden tray.

Li Yuanba glanced into the tray, hey. It's quite hearty, this old man usually enjoys it, huh?

I saw that there were four small dishes in the tray, a plate of orchid beans, the most popular in the Tang Dynasty, and a plate of fried vegetables. A plate of cold green bamboo shoots, and a plate of braised donkey meat.

Seeing that Li Yuanba did not show a disgusted expression on his face, Heijin took out a huge yellow gourd from behind him as if by magic. Road:

"Lord Wang, you must have drunk the elixir and jade brewing land, but don't dislike the old man's poor wine here?"

Li Yuanba snatched the yellow gourd from Heijin's hand. I opened the cork and poured a sip, and my eyes lit up and said, "Hei Lao, this wine?" ”

"Hehe, the old man has a good word for wine in his life! This wine was specially bought by the old man from the Piffle Pavilion, although it is not good, but it is still a strong bar! ”

Heijin laughed, seemingly satisfied with Li Yuanba's casualness.

Li Yuanba thought that Heijin was very self-conscious, so he easily put the four side dishes on the old guy's tray on the table, and began to drink.

An old man and a young man, the two of them chatted while drinking, talking about the battlefield from the drawings he left behind, and from the battlefield to the Ink Guild in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"Hei Lao, it's still that topic, this king needs Hei Lao to build a monument for those fallen soldiers, and build a building that the people of the Tang Dynasty will always remember!"

When the wine was drunk, Li Yuanba put the wine gourd on the low table, and then said to Heijin.

Coming to Shenji Mansion today, Li Yuanba's main purpose is to find a famous craftsman to build a monument for those soldiers, just like the 'People's Heroes Monument' in China in the previous life, so that the people can always remember those heroes who fought for the country and fought for the people, and shed blood and sacrificed!

"But...... Lord, the old man has never built such a thing, right? While your requirements are clear, the exact operation requires a complex process. ”

In fact, Heijin had been waiting for Li Yuanba to raise this question for a long time, after all, this would be an excellent opportunity for their ink master to reappear in the world, and he had no reason to give up such a great opportunity.

However, although he knows the overall direction of the monument Li Yuanba said, he has never seen it after all, and it is still a little difficult for him to make it out of thin air.

Although Hei Jin said this, Li Yuanba was prepared, and he said: "Hei Lao, have you been to the ancient city of Bianguan?" ”

Heijin nodded and said, "Naturally, I've been there!" I have to admit that King Yingzheng of Qin was indeed far-sighted, and in order to prevent the Hu people from invading the Central Plains, he actually built a long and huge city wall, which is really a feat! ”

"Smack!"

Li Yuanba slapped his palms and said, "Yes!" This king just wants Hei Lao to build a magnificent building that can be compared to the Great Wall here! ”

"This, that's even more impossible!" Heijin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Such a building, although the manpower, material resources, and financial resources consumed are extremely amazing, if you want to build a monument into such a building, it will definitely cost the people and money!"

"Not necessarily!"

Li Yuanba smiled slightly and said: "The monument mentioned by this king, the first focus is the stone stele, which is engraved and engraved on the stele to record the heroic deeds of my Tang Dynasty soldiers. In addition, some buildings were built around the area to record the exploits of these fallen soldiers...... They don't need to be grand, but they do have to be deep enough! ”

"Oh! The old man understands that the symbolic meaning of the monument mentioned by the prince is obviously greater than its actual effect! ”

Hei Jin continued to analyze: "What the prince wants is a series of buildings to record the deeds of the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty, and to commemorate them? ”

"Not bad!" Li Yuanba nodded and said, "This king will ask His Majesty for a piece of land in the vicinity of Chang'an City, which will be used to build these buildings alone!" What Hei Lao needs to do now is to help select the site, and then set various design drawings, and when His Majesty approves the land, he can start construction immediately! ”

"In this way, the old man is waiting for the good news of the prince!"

Heijin was very interested in Li Yuanba's suggestion, and in addition, he also believed that Li Yuanba could do this.

Li Yuanba smiled, he knew that he didn't choose the wrong person.

……

At the time of Shen, the palace was established as a political hall.

"Yuanba, sometimes I wonder, is there another person in your body? How did you come up with such a brilliant idea? ”

After Li Yuanba ate and drank with Heijin in the Shenji Mansion, he came to the palace slowly, and when he talked about the construction of a monument by his cheap brother, Li Shimin suddenly slapped his thighs in surprise.

But Li Shimin's words scared Li Yuanba half to death, what happened? Could it be that his cheap brother has already seen that this body has changed?

But then, Li Shimin's later words put Li Yuanba at ease:

"Engrave the names and surnames of the martyrs of the army on the stone tablet, and store the deeds of the martyrs of the army in the building, so glorious, it can be admired and remembered by future generations, and even be famous for thousands of years."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "In exchange for a death to leave a name for eternity...... In the face of such glory, I am afraid that once the soldiers go to the battlefield, they will definitely kill the enemy desperately! What a monument! ”

Hearing this, Li Yuanba breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, fortunately, his cheap brother did not continue to dwell on the problem of Fang Cai, but it was better to change the topic as much as possible.

He thought for a moment and continued:

"The reason why the younger brother wants to build a memorial is naturally because of this consideration, but the soldiers sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty, so they can't let them die in vain, right?"

Regarding Li Shimin's ability to think of the role of the monument to the Tang Dynasty army so quickly, Li Yuanba did not show the slightest surprise.

If you can't even think of this, then Li Shimin, the emperor, has been doing it for so many years in vain.

"You have a point, but over the years, there have been more than 100,000 soldiers who have lost their lives for my Datang, and if all their names are engraved on the monument, how big a stone tablet do you have to choose?"

Li Shimin's concerns are not groundless, if only the names and surnames of the soldiers who died this time are engraved on the monument, the role of the monument will be greatly reduced.

Li Yuanba had thought of this question a long time ago, and he said with a smile: "Brother Huang, there is no need to be like this!" The names and surnames of the soldiers who have sacrificed for my Tang Dynasty over the years are all registered in the Ministry of War. Wouldn't we kill two birds with one stone by inscribed the names and surnames of the most meritorious soldiers on the stele and the rest in the buildings surrounding the monument? ”

"That's wonderful!" When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "In this way, I will discuss this matter in detail with the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other Aiqing later, and after the matter is settled, I will immediately break ground and strive to complete this matter within three months!"
