Li Shimin

Moreover, since the construction time was not long and there was little damage, the eldest grandson and the others did not pay much attention to the repair of Sicheng Palace.

However, what if Luoyang Palace is built?

They know what the current Luoyang Palace looks like after being ruined. It is said that it is built, but it is inferior to rebuilding.

"Your Majesty, absolutely yes!"

Cang Boju was taken aback for a moment, but still asked anxiously: "Do you know if Dai Qing has any suggestions?"

"My Majesty, today's turmoil has just started for a long time. Although this year's harvest is bumper, the people are still poor and the treasury is full. If we stop building and repairing the various palaces, the cost will be huge, and I am afraid it will be unbearable!"

The grandson said quickly.

In the past few years, Cang Boju has repaired several palaces in a row, and the eldest grandson is confident that his persuasion is really considering Xiao Tang.

"Does Dai Qing know how much it takes to build a palace with reinforced concrete?"

Cang Boju took a deep breath and asked anxiously.

"This?"

Hearing this, the eldest grandson's face froze. He was really ambiguous about the cost of cement to build the palace.

"I know that you have always governed the country with loyalty and integrity, and you have always known the truth about the affairs of the court. But now, building houses with concrete and steel bars is not only cheap, but also hurts the people.

In the south of the city, Lu Kuang of the Housing Construction Department built a huge and small lecture hall in a few months. You should have never heard of it. "

Cang Boju said anxiously again.

After hearing this, the eldest grandson's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked at Cang Boju expectantly.

During this period of time, the eldest grandson, as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has been worrying about the autumn harvest, and has not paid much attention to the matter of Dai Zhou.

"A total of [-] guan was spent!"

Li Xuan said, "This includes laborers, artisans, and money to build concrete roads!"

"Seventy thousand guan?"

Hearing this, the eldest grandson was startled, and his face was full of daring.

Although he has never been to the lecture Yan Ying, he heard that it is only an eight-story low-rise building, and there are no seven or eight rooms.

In addition, there are no buildings of any kind in Qizhou, and there are few concrete roads. The scale is comparable to that of a medical school.

According to his guess, there are less than one million guan, the basic construction is done, how come it only cost [-] guan?

"This is the account book for the construction of Dai Zhou. You can read it and see if there is a trace of falsehood in what I said!"

Cang Boju was not angry either, he just took a ledger from the side and threw it to his eldest grandson.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The eldest grandson was also polite, so he picked it up and looked at it.

The more he looked, the more astonished the expression in his eyes became.

"Your Majesty, the prince begs to see you!"

At this time, Li Wei walked back and reported loudly.

"Low Ming?"

Cang Boju frowned slightly, "Slow down!"

"My son sees my father!"

"I have seen the Crown Prince!"

After everyone saw each other, Yan Yingshan quickly asked: "Gao Ming, are you supposed to be in Li's Village? Or in the East Palace's Zhuangzi? Why did you come back so early? But what happened?"

"Go back to Emperor Father, nothing happened!"

Li Shimin quickly reported.

"Then why did you come back to the palace so early?"

Yan Yingshan asked again.

"Going back to Emperor Father, it was Eighth Uncle who asked the minister to leave the palace to find Emperor Father and ask about the Steel Yanying Mountain Ship!"

Li Shimin quickly said truthfully.

"Steel giant ship?"

Cang Boju was taken aback.

"Just nothing?"

"Exactly, Eighth Uncle specially gave me a holiday!"

Li Shimin said quickly.

Hearing this, Cang Bo Juyou sighed and said helplessly.

"You can tell Xuanba that the iron and steel needed for the steel ship will be ready in the next month. Presumably, the forging can be completed in a few days!"

"Yes, Father!"

Li Shimin looked happy, and quickly bowed his hands in salute.

"My son, let me tell you!"

After all, he was ready to go in and out.

"Hurry up!"

Yes, before Li Shimin took two steps, Cang Boju shouted.

"Father, is there anything else?"

Yan Yingshan said without any doubts.

"As the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, you should have listened to political affairs, but you have been stranded in Lijiazhuang. Today, you just came back to the palace, so you sat aside and participated in political affairs with all the little ministers!"

Yan Yingshan said.

Chapter 520

"Yes, Father!"

Li Chengqian looked happy, and quickly saluted.

Immediately, he sat on the sofa beside him.

At this moment, Dai Zhou on the side had already read the entire account book, his face full of doubts.

"Your Majesty, I see what is written in this account book, that during the construction of the martial arts hall, only [-] Turkic slaves, [-] craftsmen, and [-] soldiers were relied on?

In just three months, the six main buildings of the entire lecture hall were built? "

"This matter, I am very suspicious?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin just chuckled, and then looked at Li Chengqian at the side.

"The prince will explain this to you!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Dai Zhou was taken aback for a moment, but still cupped his hands, and quickly looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian, who had just sat down and was ready to listen to the political affairs for two hours, couldn't help being startled.

Inexplicably feeling a kind of uneasiness, I was cheated!

However, he hurriedly said: "Dai Shangshu doesn't know, in fact, these four hundred Turkic slaves, three hundred artisans, and two hundred army soldiers are already the limit of the number of artisans that can be accommodated by the construction site of the martial arts hall.

These [-] Turkic slaves were doing hard work on the construction site.

Moreover, although these Turkic slaves have been working for a year, they are still strong and healthy, and they are guarded by 70 soldiers. For these Turkic slaves, [-] people supply a main building, which is equivalent to [-] people from our Tang Dynasty. The people worked hard.

In three months, with sufficient supplies of cement, sand, and bricks, six buildings were built! "

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian looked at Dai Zhou, "So, I wonder if Dai Shangshu understands?"

Dai Zhou was dumbfounded and looked at Li Chengqian in a daze.

After a long while, he opened his mouth and continued to ask: "Your Highness, what I'm asking is that building a house is so time-consuming and labor-intensive. Why can it be built so quickly?"

"This?"

Li Chengqian was also startled, and looked at Dai Zhou with a strange expression.

"Dai Shangshu, seventy Turkic slaves and fifty craftsmen build a building, three months is a normal speed!"

Hearing this, the corners of Dai Zhou's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

But still patiently, he continued: "Your Highness, I have supervised the craftsmen who built the palace, and it will take at least half a year to build a house of that size with only these craftsmen!"

Now, Li Chengqian finally understood, this stubborn old man has been using wood to build palaces to look at reinforced concrete buildings!

This is what the Master said about the generation gap!

Afterwards, with a chuckle, he continued, "But Dai Shangshu, the house you supervised was built with wood. And this lecture hall is built with reinforced concrete!"

"If it weren't for those Turkic slaves who were sometimes clumsy and didn't know how to use tools such as small carts and jacks, the construction speed could be faster!"

"Is it faster to build a house with reinforced concrete than with wood?"

Dai Zhou asked in a daze.

"It's natural!"

Li Chengqian chuckled, he was very familiar with these things, "To build with reinforced concrete, you only need to lay a good foundation, make a formwork, tie up the steel bars, and pour the concrete.

As for building with timber, by the time the timber has been transported thousands of miles, several months have passed, and the reinforced concrete building has already been built.

It's just that if you build a small hut, it seems that wood is faster than reinforced concrete! "

After listening, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were thoughtful.

As for Dai Zhou, his expression changed, and he sighed softly after a long time.

"I didn't expect that it would be so convenient to build a house with reinforced concrete!"

"That's natural!"

Li Chengqian said sincerely: "When my Zhuangzi built the house last year, it only took half a year for a courtyard and hundreds of small two-story buildings!

If Dai Shangshu also wanted to build a concrete courtyard, he had to hurry up. Not only did these Turkic slaves not have to pay wages, they were also very strong! "

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Dai Zhou cupped his hands again.

As for what's on his mind, I don't know.

After that, he asked Li Chengqian again for a long time about the construction of the lecture hall.

To this, Li Chengqian could only reply one by one.

Li Chengqian may not understand other political affairs.

However, it can be said that Li Chengqian is more proficient in building houses and paving roads with reinforced concrete, or managing Zhuangzi than anyone here!

In the end, although Dai Zhou praised Li Chengqian's proficiency very much, he was still somewhat disappointed.

However, on the second day, Dai Shangshu, with his servants, came quietly to the lecture hall in a carriage.

"Dai Shangshu?"

Although the lecture hall has just been built, it has not yet started to recruit students.

However, more than 1000 veterans from Jiangwutang Farm have already arrived.

And Li Jing and Qin Qiong also stayed in the farm all day.

As soon as Dai Zhou got off the carriage, an old soldier quickly reported the matter to Li Jing.

"I have met Duke Dai, Duke Yi!"

Dai Zhou hurriedly bowed his hands to salute.

"I don't know why Dai Shangshu is here?"

Li Jing asked directly.
