I became the son of Renzong

God seems to be in debt to Hebei Road. Since the beginning of autumn, the ground of Hebei Road has not been dry.

It is the season of planting winter wheat.After completing the main body of the palace, the victims left Bianliang one after another with the wages they earned, as well as the winter grain distributed by the government and the next year's grain, with gratitude to the government.

Those simple houses borrowed by the imperial court were also cleaned... This is the duty of a human being.

At this time, a large number of master craftsmen from Workshop City began to enter the construction site of Yanfu Palace.

There are carriages coming and going every day, rumbling, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are pulling materials.But the main hall is finished, do we still need so many materials?

The servants who have something good to do, ran to see it when they had nothing to do...

"What is the official house building? The entire Yanfu Palace's eaves and brackets don't show any royal specifications..."

"The garden in Yanfu Palace is originally an inner garden, so it doesn't necessarily have to follow the royal specifications?"

"This statement is wrong. Even if it is a garden, it is also a royal garden, and the regulations cannot be changed casually. Whether it is Jinming Pool or Qionglin Pavilion, it is the same as the royal standard."

"I heard that Workshop City delivered a lot of iron bumps~~ My brother-in-law worked in Workshop City. He said that Workshop City has been making some pipes recently, and there is something called a boiler..."

"I've heard that too. I also heard that the top of the entire Yanfu Palace is designed in the style of a caisson. It is said that Li Mingzhong, Su Zirong and the officials spent nearly a month designing it..."

All the yamen of the imperial court are talking about it, and they have something to say.

It had been three or four months since the renovation of Yanfu Palace. Even if the Zhengshitang was aggrieved, it slowly dissipated with the passage of time.

However, the discussions of the ministers and workers in the court once again made the Minister of Political Affairs turn his attention to the transformation of Yanfu Palace.

"Since it is a royal palace, how can it be out of compliance? We and other ministers have the responsibility to check this behavior, even if it is torn down and rebuilt, we must not mess with the rules."

Sima Guang was as determined as ever.The old man studied history, the more he studied, the more he felt that he should follow the rules.As soon as it exits, it will be demolished and rebuilt. Does it mean that the Ministry of Accounts has a surplus?

Wang Anshi couldn't deny it. The more prosperous the court, the less likely he was to introduce the Yishi Law.

If Sima Guang can really make money from the empty household department, he doesn't mind adding fuel to the flames.

The purpose of the Market Change Law is mainly to restrict those monopolistic merchants and increase the income for the court...~ With the sour young crops law, the financial situation of the court has eased a lot, and the Market Change Law is just the icing on the cake.

Han Jiang was speechless, and the third younger brother only told him not to get involved in the renovation of Yanfu Palace, so as not to fail in the end.

Han Qi really wanted to bring everyone in the Zhengshitang to ask the officials and Xingshi again, but he failed to return several times, and he no longer had the confidence to continue.

Hearing Sima Guang's words, he just looked up, turned around and left without answering.

At Mao time every day, the ministers would gather in this way, to inform each other about the recent government affairs of the court, and then they would go back to their respective offices.

Wen Yanbo was even more so, not to mention responding, he didn't even raise his head.

One thing at a time, Mr. Zhengshitang has been dug and buried by the officials.

Fu Bi will be back in a month or so, and it will be time for him to leave the court... This is the official's promise, and Ouyang Xiu doesn't want to make trouble.

Sima Guang was very angry. Seeing the attitude of your colleagues... Since everyone has turned a blind eye to it, so what if I, Sima Guang, play alone?

Chapter 481

This is actually the case with the civil servants of the imperial court, just like they did with Liao Xia, when they knew they were powerless to fight, they would choose to compromise.

It was Sima Guang who surprised Zhao Xi.

The reason why Zhao Xi didn't clearly explain the nature of Yanfu Palace's transformation at the beginning was that he was worried that the court would spend endlessly on it.In the end, the timing of cheap labor for tens of thousands of disaster victims was delayed, so the matter was started without the imperial court.

The renovation of Yanfu Palace this time was not only because of the problems of the victims, or even because the palace was in disrepair. He thought a lot about it.

By rebuilding Yanfu Palace this time, he guided Su Song to make a cast-iron boiler, guided Li Jie to build a caisson with amplifying effect, and all kinds of new things needed for the construction of the conference hall.

Zhao Xi felt that after the completion of the main body of the palace group, if he had the heart to take a trip, no matter whether he was a minister or a minister, he would understand that he did not really build a palace in the inner garden... This is a palace group for the imperial court.

From the place where the emperor handles government affairs, to the office where the six ministries and nine ministers work, as well as the imperial court meeting, the meeting of the political affairs hall, etc.In this area of ​​palaces, they are all included.

All you need to do is to take a look at it, and even ordinary courtiers can understand the role of this palace complex.But Sima Guang decided to accuse him based on hearsay.

As always, I started with the ancient sages, counting down all the reckless emperors of the past dynasties, as if to make myself right.

It doesn't matter, anyway, nothing agrees with him... Zhao Xi doesn't understand. Is it so difficult for you, Sima Guang, to go and see for yourself?

I really don't want to embarrass my husbands.

From the beginning, leaving aside the court and being dominated by Workshop City, he was afraid that there would be too much opposition from the court, and he would not be able to deal with it in the end.

I hope they can believe their eyes, and then the harmony between the monarch and his subjects will pass like this, how wonderful it is.

In the end... old man Sima, alas, it seems that he can only take them there.

Zhao Xi is not an architect, he doesn't understand how the building's force and stability should be.

When telling Li Jie about his design concept for this so-called palace complex, he focused on practicality and ignored the traditional number of columns and beams.

Besides, if he really wanted to follow the traditional royal specifications, he really didn't know if he could realize the function he wanted to achieve, so the entire palace complex became what it is today.

I don't blame Sima Guang anymore.

The moment they entered the gate of the main hall, the gentle warm wind made all the gentlemen forget the symmetrical stone pillars on the front of the main hall... two stone pillars on one side did not meet the royal specifications.

The main hall is a semicircular hall, larger than the current Daqing Hall.Directly opposite is the Bi Steps, with double-storey ninth-level specifications, which is in line with royal standards.

The arc-shaped hall wall starts from the steps, diverges to both sides, and then slowly gathers. When it reaches the entrance of the hall, it is still arc-shaped.

The dome of the main hall has no rules. Looking up, it looks densely packed with small squares. Starting from the center, they are distributed layer by layer, like a sky full of stars... This is probably the so-called caisson, right?

Along the arc of the temple wall, about a leg high, there are rows of pipes from top to bottom, like copper pipes...

"Pipes are used for heating. Due to technical reasons, Workshop City can't make the hot gas boilers envisioned by the government, and can only use cast iron boilers."

"According to the test results, ten boilers are needed to heat the entire hall. The water is heated in the boiler, then flows along the pipe, and then returns to the boiler, forming a cycle. As long as the boiler keeps boiling water, the hall It will keep you warm like spring.”

"It's summer, turn off the boiler and circulate cold water to ensure that the hall will not be stuffy."

At this time, Su Song stood beside the official to give an explanation.

This time everyone from Workshop City came, from Han Zhen, Su Song, Xue Xiang to Li Jie, Shen Kuo, and Jia Xian.

"The algae well on the top allows every minister and worker in the hall to speak, and can be heard clearly from any position in the hall. This is the result of Jia Langzhong's calculation method."

Li Jie introduced that when Jia Xian saw himself mentioned, he came out to signal and bowed to the officials and all the ministers and workers.

"Every interval in the dome algae well is a lighting point..."

As Su Song said, he opened a hidden compartment on the wall of the temple, reached in and began to shake.With his shaking, a small platform tied by four tethers slowly fell from the dome.
