Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Li You was not sure about whether he could invite the person who moved Shuangfeng Mountain.

You must know that in the real history, Li Shimin had invited that person to go to Chang'an many times during his ten years in Zhenguan, but he refused them all.

However, Li Shimin didn't take it seriously. On the contrary, because he respected his talent and learning, he bestowed on him the purple clothes with the highest status in Zongzheng Temple.

At this time, although the fourth patriarch Daoxin had just settled in Shuangfeng Mountain, Li You was just a prince, and it was only related to the future of Buddhism. Li You felt that Daoxin had a great possibility of success.

When Li You thought of Monk Hu, and those Indians who coveted the Central Plains and tried to control the Central Plains with the power of religion, he couldn't help but think of Wang Xuance.

[I don’t know if I send Xuan Ce there at this time, if he can destroy a country by himself. 】

[If this is really possible, I will ask Jin Yiwei to find some Hu monk, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to just steal the house! 】

This tempting idea is just for Li You to think about. At this time, King Jieri of Tianzhu is not dead, and most of India is in the hands of the Jieri Empire. Even if Wang Xuance takes action, he probably has no chance.

Li You shook his head and put his unrealistic thoughts behind him.

Today, the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty is still the Turks.

Even Goryeo, which returned to the northeast after the settlement of the Turks, Tubo in the southwest, and the Nanzhao tribes and Chenla in the south, it would never be India's turn to send troops.

As for Monk Hu's matter, although it seemed serious to Li You, it didn't make any splashes in history, so Li You didn't think it was a big problem, so he just handed it over to Jin Yiwei.

His current focus is still on the design of the university town and industrial park. He wants to complete the preliminary work there earlier, so that the project can start when the weather is suitable.

In fact, the biggest problem with this project is that Li You designed the underground drainage channel.

Since there was a river passing through Fang City, Li You would definitely not miss the advantage of being able to transport by water.

However, drainage channels are mostly designed as open ditch at present.

Take the current Chang’an City as an example. Brick paving, seepage wells and drainage pipes are commonly used around buildings. Most of the streets have ditches on both sides. There are two kinds of earth and bricks, all of which are open ditches.

There is a sidewalk outside the open ditch.The road surface is high in the middle and low on both sides, which is convenient for timely drainage of rainwater.

But Li You is planning to change the open ditches distributed outside the building into underground underground ditches and open ditches.

Li You had such a design because the open ditch really took up too much space, and after the open ditch was changed to an underground underground ditch, more houses could be built in the same square city.

Moreover, due to the existence of ditches, the shops along the street will be somewhat inconvenient. If people want to go to the shops across the street, they must either risk crossing the open ditch or have to take a detour.

For the prosperity of Fang City in the future, although this matter greatly increased the difficulty of the whole design, Li You still persisted.

Finally, after another month, Yan Liben's waterway map of Fangshi was barely completed.

However, when Yan Liben saw the house designed by Li You for the Kang Jie family, he was shocked again.

"Yan Wang, are they really willing to live in such a house?"

It turned out that the house Li You prepared for Kang Jie and his tribe was a four- to five-story building.

You must know that the houses in the Tang Dynasty are generally bungalows, and the small buildings are only two floors. Such a height is already considered a tall building today.

Originally, such a tall building must have been built with hundreds of miles of trees as pillars and huge stones as its foundation.

As a result, the cost of the house suddenly increased.

However, when Yan Liben heard the construction materials from Li You's mouth again, his eyes lit up.

According to Li You, these buildings are built with reinforced concrete as the backbone and red bricks.

Nowadays, steel, cement and red bricks are the industries of Shence Mansion, and the cost of this building can be said to be ridiculously low.

According to Yan Liben's rough calculation, the cost of such a small building is actually about the same as that of an ordinary house now, and the only thing that may be a little more is that the construction period will be a little longer.

Of course, what shocked Yan Liben was not the building materials of these small buildings, but the division of these small buildings.

In Yan Liben's view, the division of these apartment types is very unreasonable.

"My lord, is this really possible?"

According to Li You's current plan, the maximum area of ​​a household is within ten steps from east to west and ten steps from north to south, and most of the rooms in a household are three to four rooms.

And some small houses have only two rooms in one house.

This area is converted into a modern unit, the smaller unit is about 150 square meters, and the largest unit is about [-] square meters.

Such an area is considered normal in modern times, but in ancient times, especially in the Tang Dynasty, which had a vast land and few people, it seemed too small.

"What's wrong with Master Yan?"

For such an area, Li Er, who is a modern person, doesn't think there is any problem.

However, Li You's calm attitude made Yan Liben think wrong immediately.

The low cost and the small area, in his opinion, are very reasonable to be used on these barbarians.

"No problem. The tents these Hu people live in are not that big. King Yan's house is tailor-made for them."

"However, has your lord ever thought about whether it would be too high to build the fourth to fifth floors? If the construction period is long, the cost will actually go up."

"I think there are more than a thousand of these barbarians. In fact, we can build up to the third floor. We don't need so many."

Li You already understood that Yan Liben was completely delusional, but he felt that there was no need to explain this kind of thing.

"Three floors are not enough, let's just follow the plan."

"If you don't have enough manpower, you should find more people. The people from the Kangjie tribe can't leave Chang'an right now and they have nothing to do. It's also good to hire them to help you repair your house."

"Second Lord Yan, there are really not too many houses. Let's build more. Aren't there still refugees and aborigines in these two cities?"

"In the future, our entire Fangshi will have to be developed, and these people will also have a place to live."

Although Li You didn't tell all of his true thoughts, the information was enough for Yan Liben to suddenly realize.

The aborigines in the two square cities have always been a concern for Yan Liben.

Even though Li You could directly leave these refugees and those residents who had lost their land titles with his own rights, Yan Liben still felt a little bit sorry.

He is a painter who pursues art, but also a Confucian scholar, and he has never forgotten his great wish to benefit the world and benefit the people.

But now, Li You's house building plan has taken these people into consideration, which completely relieved Yan Liben's restless heart.

"Let me just say, King Yan cares about the common people, and he will never let me down."

After muttering something to himself, Yan Liben devoted himself to his work even more enthusiastically.
