Chapter seven hundred and ninety-eight: the magnificent Daming Palace
Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao left the palace, and Zhu Houzhao went to the other side to ride a horse.
Several guards rushed over.
However, Liu Jin hesitated to Fang Jifan. While turning back and looking at Zhu Houzhao nervously, he ate a sensation and chewed it, looking at Fang Jifan with some fear: "God of the Lord..."
Fang Jifan held his hands behind his back: "What?"
Liu Jin seemed to have instinctive fear of Fang Jifan and did not dare to chew the dried meat. He said carefully: "Gan, you want to build a new palace, but you are short of money. Here is a grandson, there are 60,000 to 70,000 taels... If Gan Zheng is so poor that he can't eat porridge..."
Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jin suspiciously and said in surprise: "Where did you get so much money?"
Sixty or seventy thousand taels are definitely not a small amount, and they are also cash silver that can be used.
This grandson is just a companion of the Eastern Palace and has not started to enter the Silijian yet. It can only be considered a bright future, but it is definitely not to say that he has any power at hand now.
But this guy... actually hid so much money?
Liu Jinqi said aiyi: "Grandson... grandson... saved up."
It turns out that he is a greedy person. His grandson has just won so much money in his current status. If he is like in history, he will become a eunuch in the Silijian and hold power. God knows how much money he has greedy.
Too scary.
Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jin who was very nervous and couldn't help but say, "Have you deducted a lot of money and food from the East Palace, have you secretly taken out the treasures from the East Palace and sold them?"
"No..." Liu Jin said: "No, they are all eunuchs in the palace who come with filial piety. They think that their grandson is good and any benefits are all divided into one."
Liu Jin hurriedly explained.
Fang Jifan immediately understood.
The stars of the future.
For those eunuchs in the palace who are fighting, who should not curry favor with the celebrity around the prince? After all, people have to find a way out for their future.
These eunuchs seemed to be very rich, but they didn't know how much money Xiao Jing was hiding. Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
Fang Jifan held his hands behind his back and said, "Oh, grandpa, I don't lack money now. No matter how much money I lack, it would be great if the virtuous grandson had this intention."
Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and swallowed the dried meat. Tears were pouring out of tears at the corner of his eyes, and he was about to cry: "The grandson was castrated by his parents and sent to the palace. From the moment he was sent to the palace, he had nothing to do with his family. Until he gained knowledge and studied with his godfather, he realized that there was such knowledge in the world. People all said that it was enough to die in the morning and evening. Although the grandson could not do this, the godfather treated his grandson very well since he accepted his grandson. He was also a lover. He had no family in his life. Now, after worshiping his father and godfather, he was devotional..."
As he said that, Liu Jin cried.
Fang Jifan had to pinch his chubby face: "Okay, stop crying, stop crying, grandpa loves you too, why are you crying?"
Liu Jin immediately wiped his tears: "Grandmaster, grandson is going to serve the prince."
"Go, go." Fang Jifan waved his hand.
Liu Jin was about to take a few steps.
What did Fang Jifan remember?
This grandson still needs to be educated.
Since they really have this intention, they have to show off their grandfather’s appearance.
Fang Jifan said: "Wait."
Liu Jin stopped and looked at Fang Jifan carefully.
Fang Jifan sighed and said, "Be more solemn in the future, it is my grandson after all. You are shameless. Fang Jifan is still a well-known person. When talking to people in the future, don't always stuff things into your mouth, and it's embarrassing to see people."
Liu Jin was silent for a long time and said, "There is a reason."
"What?" Fang Jifan was a little confused.
Liu Jin said: "My grandson also felt that it was not good. Later, he spent a lot of money to ask the fortune teller to calculate it. People said that the grandson lacks meat in the five elements and needs to be replenished. This is a disease and needs to be cured!"
“…”
Seeing that he was serious, Fang Jifan was extremely suspicious that this guy had bribed the damn fortune teller.
He simply waved his hand and said, "Get out!"
Liu Jin chased the prince with a whirlwind.
Fang Jifan had been awake for a long time before he came to his senses. Damn, this fortune teller was a little too cruel.
…………
The new palace has begun to rise slowly.
The project is divided into five stages. Now, in the first stage, in addition to the moat and the palace walls, corner towers and city towers of the Daming Palace, there is a main building of the Daming Palace and Wanshou Garden.
Under the guidance of the students, the craftsmen first built the bricks into the main frame, and then poured them into concrete. The concrete was mixed with willow branches, which was very firm.
The advantage of concrete is that it is not easy to seep and is strong, of course, the most important thing is to save money.
Then, the wall leveling, painting and painting are arranged.
The main hall does not require wooden beams.
This thing is too expensive, so you have to go to Yunnan and other places to find good wood first, and then you have to transport it through. The cost is no less than ten thousand taels of silver.
Fang Jifan directly asked people to use stone pillars, which were beautiful, simple and generous.
The road inside is first tamped with gravel and rammed earth, dig the diversion channel on both sides, and paste it with empty concrete brick slabs above the diversion channel. The road is directly constructed with concrete, and then brushed with a layer of asphalt on the concrete.
On the one hand, asphalt is extracted from coal. On the other hand, petroleum asphalt is difficult to exploit, and there is no easy oil near the capital. On the other hand, natural asphalt is directly exploited.
After applying a layer of asphalt straight, red paint was painted on the asphalt, and there were patterns such as longevity on the red paint.
It is a must to paint red paint. This era is just a good thing, and it is festive.
The paths in the garden are paved with anticorrosion wood, and there are always various paths along the main road of concrete. The weather in the capital is dry, so there must be water. The water from the moat is drawn from the Grand Canal. Then the water from the moat is digging out an artificial lake. The transplanted trees have begun to be planted. This is the master's skill of the military farmer. Zhang Xin personally rolled up his sleeves and brought a group of people. He used the painting method of the Franchise man to communicate with the craftsmen of the garden first. Finally, he designed a sketch, where to arrange flowers and plants, and where to have trees. Moreover, this tree must be expensive and rare.
So, the tree species obtained from the Golden Continent and the trees cultivated came in handy. There was no such thing in the entire Ming Dynasty. Do you think it is precious or not? Fang Jifan said that it would be as much as it costs. If you don’t accept it, you can find one?
Not only that, the Franji people also offered suggestions for the garden. Based on the Franji customs, they proposed to plant trees on both sides of the road, which can prevent wind and add some privacy.
The Minister of Works came here to inspect. After checking, especially when he stepped on the anticorrosive wood, although the surroundings were still bare and the garden had not yet begun to be built, he also felt that it was quite rare.
This Daming Palace has attracted a lot of attention because of Fang Jifan.
After all, there are few prodigal sons in the world.
In the past, when the emperor wanted to build a palace, he used the power of the whole world, but Fang Jifan actually took care of it alone.
Some people still stubbornly believe that this project must be reduced, while others think that perhaps, this commander of the lieutenant did not shrink, but was just a bit stupid.
Such a debate has spread for a while, so many people have come here to watch from afar.
Seeing that countless craftsmen were busy, many workshops used for the construction of the Daming Palace rose from the ground for several miles away, and even chimneys were filled with white smoke. The first guess was suddenly self-defeating. It turned out that it was not really shrinking, but Fang Jifan's brain attack.
How much does such a big project cost?
But... Anyway, Fang Jifan paid the money and it had nothing to do with others. In addition to everyone's heartache, Fang Jifan's father, there was also the son of the other lieutenant, who expressed sympathy, but no one dared to pick it out.
But at this time, the envoy of the Malaga Kingdom had arrived in the capital.
The Manlacca country was defeated by the Franchise people a few years ago. Then, the Franchise people took the seal of the Manlacca country and pretended to be the envoy of the Manlacca. A few months ago, they arrived at the Guangzhou Maritime Bureau and requested tribute.
This huge team is obviously prepared.
They brought many tributes, hoping to establish trade and trade with the Ming Dynasty in the form of tribute, and at the same time, inquire about the reality of the Ming Empire.
The envoy had just arrived at the Honglu Temple to stay, and then submitted the letter of state, waiting for the news of the Ming Emperor.
The envoys seemed very restless. They did not want to stay honestly in the Honglu Temple. Many people began to appear in the neighborhoods of the capital, and even many people tried their best to inquire near the Beijing Camp.
They not only showed great curiosity about this Eastern Empire, but at the same time, they also hoped to use this to find out the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Wang Xizuo, who was building a ship in Ningbo, was also summoned to Beijing.
In Xishan Zhenguo Mansion, Fang Jifan placed a dagger directly in front of Wang Xizuo.
Wang Xizuo was scared and urinated.
Two years of shipbuilding work made him understand a fact.
In this Ming Dynasty, there is a person who cannot be provoked.
Fang Jifan played with the dagger in his hand, raised his feet, and sighed: "Can you speak Chinese?"
"Yes." Wang Xizuo nodded without saying a word.
Fang Jifan said: "You're here, live a good life."
"Hong Fu, who is the commander of the commander." Wang Xizuo showed a flattering smile.
Fang Jifan said: "Your name is Wang Xizuo. Do you know what this name means?"
Wang Xi was indignant: "I know."
"So, do you know, how we Fang Jifan treat the detailed work?"
Wang Xizuo was about to cry: "No...I don't know."
Fang Jifan said: "I usually like to castrate them and then give him a hundred women."
