The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1281 New Palace Blueprint
"You two adults have worked hard." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and said.

Yan Lide smiled: "Although Liben and I have been drawing the blueprints of the new palace, we have also heard that His Majesty asked Xuan Gong to supervise the construction of the new palace. There was such a thing in the Ministry of Industry two days ago that Xuan Xuan Public expense."

Xuan Shijing waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, besides, His Majesty has already dealt with this matter, so let's leave it alone. I thought that the drawings of the two adults would not come out until the next year, but I didn't expect to be able to do so in advance." A lot, now more than half of the Xingong material matter has been resolved, and it seems that Longshouyuan will be able to start work soon, and the progress has been improved a lot unintentionally."

"The matter of the new palace is very important, and His Majesty attaches great importance to it, so we naturally dare not neglect it. From now on, we will have to work with Xuan Gong on the construction of the new palace. If there is something insecure on the Ministry of Industry, we must Duke Xuan should mention it more." Yan Lide said with a smile.

Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "The name of the construction supervisor is just a name. If it is just a formality, we will all be happy. After all, I am also a lazy person. After the blueprint is finalized, Longshouyuan can start construction. Now, the two lords have freed up their hands. For things like a few days ago, the two lords will naturally handle them. As long as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs do not make any mistakes, the construction of the new palace will be more than half successful. gone."

Xuan Shijing came to the Ministry of Industry to meet the Yan family brothers today, and also told them to rest assured that Xuan Shijing didn't know as much as they did about the construction of the new palace, so he wouldn't intervene in random directions, and everything will continue as usual. It was still the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households who coordinated and directed, Xuan Shijing watched from the sidelines and did not intervene. If there was any problem, they could solve it by themselves. If they couldn't solve it, they would come to him to find a solution.

Xuan Shijing's approach is a typical hello, me, everyone, he is also a person who is afraid of trouble, as for the affairs of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, he is not willing to disturb himself.

As long as there is no problem with the construction of the new palace, as long as there is no problem with the construction of the supervision and construction, as long as Xuan Shijing himself is not involved in the rest of the matter, he is happy to turn a blind eye to it. This is also the way of being an official.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Yan Lide said with a smile.

Previously, Xuan Shijing was rushed into the palace by His Majesty Li Er because of some official announcements. Yan Lide was very grateful for Xuan Shijing's behavior of not adding fuel to His Majesty and dragging the two brothers into it. He understood what kind of person Xuan Shijing was.

Afterwards, Yan Lide pulled Xuan Shijing to the desk, and showed Xuan Shijing the blueprint of the new palace.

In the 2000st century, nearly 21 years later, Xuan Shijing had no chance to see the elegance of Daming Palace, but now, the drawings of Daming Palace are clearly displayed in front of her, and Daming Palace will also be in the future. Completed under his own witness.

Although he has never seen anything from later generations, he has seen the restored renderings, and it is definitely not the one Yan Lide showed him.

"It's very delicate, but not atmospheric enough." Xuan Shijing said after reading the first planned drawing.

Yan Liben next to him has been drawing on the desk since Xuan Shijing came in. Yan Lide has always been the one who received Xuan Shijing. After hearing what Xuan Shijing said, his eyes lit up, he raised his head, and looked at Xuan Shijing. Jing: "Mr. Xuan thinks so too?"

"Since the new palace is being built, it is best to complete it in one step. This blueprint is very good and has no other shortcomings. The only point is that it is too small." Xuan Shijing said.

Yan Lide also nodded: "This first drawing also took into account the expenditure of the national treasury, so when I drew it, I was a little timid. It is precisely because of this that my brother and I decided to draw the second one. this way please."

Saying that, Yan Lide invited Xuan Shijing to Yan Liben's desk, and the paper on the desk was the second drawing that had not been drawn yet.

Xuan Shijing looked at it, the second drawing was much stronger than the first one, at least in terms of the area of ​​the palace complex, it was more than double the size of the first one.

There are three main halls in the front, middle, and rear. The original Yong'an Hall is the smallest and is placed in the middle. The front is the largest main hall, and the back is the middle-sized apse.In this way, Yong'an Hall can be used without moving, and can be used directly by changing its name, and the square and foundation outside Yong'an Hall are ready-made, and the largest main hall can be directly built on this basis, saving a lot of effort, but Yong'an The walls outside the palace must be demolished.

"This is the second blueprint drawn by my brother and I. It's just that the blueprint has not been finished yet, but judging from the blueprints that have been drawn, if the new palace is built on this scale, it will not be completed without three years of work. .” Yan Lide said.

"It's okay, and you don't have to worry about the treasury." Xuan Shijing said with a smile, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty has never been as rich as it is today.

Xuan Shijing knew how much things were transported from Liaodong to Chang'an, but it was just two wars, destroying the two countries, and the money gained was enough to support the construction of the new palace.

Back then, Hou Junji failed in corruption, and all the goods he transported back to Chang'an from Gaochang filled the national treasury. Up to now, the imperial court has not spent much money. Can the national treasury run out of money?
If the treasury had no money, the Ministry of Household Affairs would have jumped out to oppose His Majesty Li Er's construction of the new palace. They would not listen to any reason, just a word, no money.

The treasury has no money, and the officials of the household department have no confidence in the court and have no right to speak. Therefore, the officials of the household department are more stingy than one another. If the treasury is not enough to support the construction of the new palace, the household department will definitely be the first to jump out of.

"Okay, that's it, my brother and I will hurry up and draw out the second drawing, and strive to send it to the palace as soon as possible to present to His Majesty." Yan Lide said.

If this second blueprint can be completed, then the brothers of the Yan family will have a bright face in their entire lives.

The beauty of palace architecture is different from paintings drawn on paper. The latter gives people an artistic conception, while the former is immersive and shocking.

After Xuan Shijing left the Ministry of Industry, he went back to Zhuangzi in Dongshan County with his entourage. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhuangzi’s courses in the academy were also arranged. Since Xuan Shijing and Gao Shilian said that he would teach in the academy, then he We must not lose our word, no matter how big the matter in Chang'an City is, it is a small matter for Xuan Shijing, and the matter of the Academy, no matter how small, is a big matter.

The academy has just started to lay the foundation. If the foundation is not well established, then the academy will not have much future. Since Xuan Shijing has already paid a lot for the academy, it is absolutely not allowed to give up halfway.

Gao Shilian set the class time for Xuan Shijing on the afternoon of August [-]th, and the whole afternoon belonged to Xuan Shijing.
