Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 26
"Your Highness Fifth, please look, this is the location of Qingling."

"It is located three miles northwest of Changling Mausoleum of Emperor Chengzu, and about one mile northwest of Xianling Mausoleum of Emperor Renzong. It is hidden at the south foot of Erling of Huangshan Temple in Tianshou Mountain Mausoleum in Changping."

"Because it was Emperor Jing's mausoleum before, although it has been abandoned for more than [-] years, the underground environment is still good, and there is no water accumulation or leakage."

In the repair yard of the imperial mausoleum of the Ministry of Industry, the head of the Ministry of Industry pointed to something similar to a sand table to explain to Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youjian stood aside and listened carefully.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian had nothing to ask, the head of the Ministry of Industry could only introduce:

"According to the same principle as the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry, the main palace room underground can be cleaned and repaired first. It is estimated that the main palace room will be fully repaired in [-] days."

"At that time, the first emperor can bury the main palace first, and then slowly repair the other palaces."

"The overall layout of the mausoleum building is in the shape of a front and a rear circle, covering an area of ​​about [-] mu, and the scale is relatively small."

"The cemetery of Qingling, under the vision of the Ministry of Industry, will consist of three parts: the Shinto, the mausoleum palace and the ancillary buildings outside the mausoleum palace."

"A single empty stone bridge is built on the Shinto, and a stele pavilion of divine merit and virtue is built near the mausoleum. A stele is erected in the pavilion, with the head of a turtle falling, and the inscription by Long Live."

"In order to conform to the terrain, the Ministry of Industry will build a drainage river between Fangcheng Baoding and Yan'en Hall, and two Shenbo furnaces."

"In addition, the circular treasure city was repaired after the square courtyard, and a square city platform was built at the entrance of the treasure city, and a Minglou with double eaves and Xieshan top was built on the city platform."

"In the building will be erected a stele of the holy title, engraved with "The Mausoleum of Emperor Guangzong Zhen of the Ming Dynasty".

"Behind the Ming Tower, the treasure city is filled with loess. In the center, a cylindrical body with a small top and a large bottom is rammed into the top of the treasure, with a depth of seven feet at the bottom. The body is surrounded by a crescent-shaped courtyard."

"There are wall-mounted glass screen walls in this courtyard, and finally some buildings on the ground will be built, such as the sacrifice pavilion, the divine kitchen, the divine treasury, the ancestral hall, the imperial palace supervisor, the court room, the orchard, the hazelnut factory, and the divine horse house."

"According to the Ministry of Industry's budget, at the speed of mobilizing [-] civilian workers, we should be able to close the Dragon Gate (tomb gate) in January next year."

"If [-] civilians are used for the building on the ground, it is estimated that it will be completed [-] months after closing the Dragon Gate."

"However, if the imperial court lacks financial resources, it can be repaired slowly with a thousand civilian craftsmen, but it will take six years and seven months to complete the repair."

"The repair of the entire imperial mausoleum is estimated to require [-] million taels of silver, [-] lumber, [-] stone, and various other things. All the silver will be used wisely."

In the words of the head of the Ministry of Industry, he almost described the imperial mausoleum as a flower, but when he turned his head to look, he found that Zhu Youjian directly picked up the material brochure of the imperial mausoleum of the Ministry of Industry, and flipped through it page by page. up.

Although he knew that Zhu Youjian might not be able to understand it, the director of the Ministry of Industry was still a little nervous.

But Zhu Youjian, although his family is busy with the national funeral, it's not like he didn't do anything.

At least, he learned about a basic commodity price in Beizhili through some Nanzhen Fusi Jinyiwei.

Because of this, when he saw the materials manual for the imperial mausoleum of the Ministry of Industry, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

All these materials are [-]% more expensive than folk materials, and some of the wages and food prices of folk husbands are also somewhat premium.

These miscellaneous premiums do not seem to be much, but when added together, it is still easy to get more than one hundred and two hundred thousand taels from it.

Because of this, Zhu Youjian laughed, and he laughed because the directory of the Ministry of Industry gave him a chance to make money in disguise.

"Not bad!"

Zhu Youjian suddenly said: "The price of materials and wages are not too big a problem."

"Since this is the case, Gu will take these things away. Soon, the people from Nanzhen Fusi will bring the craftsmen of martial arts and three guards to the emperor's mausoleum. As for the civilian husbands, there is no need. They will use the four guards and one battalion of the Yumajian Just with Habayashi Sanwei!"

"Ah...ah?" The head of the Ministry of Industry was taken aback by Zhu Youjian's unconventional remarks, and hurriedly said:
"This, this... His Highness, the repair of the Emperor's Mausoleum is the work of the Ministry of Industry, you just..."

The head of the Ministry of Industry wanted to say that Zhu Youjian was just a supervisor, but he never thought that Zhu Youjian would interrupt him directly and responded:

"Yes, although it is a supervision, the Ministry of Industry is very busy recently. In order to lighten the burden on the Ministry of Industry, the repair of the imperial mausoleum is left to Gu."

"Chengen!" Zhu Youjian suddenly shouted to Wang Chengen next to him.

"Your Highness, the servant is here." Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Bring these things back to Xuqin Palace, and take the materials and construction drawings from the Ministry of Industry to Qianqing Palace to show the emperor."

"In addition, ask Lu Wenzhao to get ready. Tomorrow, he will take the people from Nanzhen Fusi to bring the whole family of martial arts and three guards craftsmen to the foot of Qingling Mountain."

"Let Cao Huachun take the soldiers from the Four Guards and One Battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor to the foot of Qingling Mountain tomorrow, and first repair the barracks where the soldiers built Qingling, and then ask the three guards of Yubayashi to go to the foot of Qingling Mountain."

"After the national funeral, I will go to Qingling in person. If Qingling is not repaired for a day, I will live in Qingling and keep my filial piety for the emperor!"

Zhu Youjian's ability to talk about keeping filial piety really surprised the head of the Ministry of Industry. He didn't expect him to be so young and thoughtful.

Yes, if you live at the foot of Qingling Mountain in the name of keeping filial piety, plus there are craftsmen and soldiers of four guards and one battalion, three guards of Habayashi, and three guards of martial arts.

The Ministry of Industry doesn't need to go to anyone directly, and Zhu Youjian can handle the construction of the imperial mausoleum by himself.

"Your Highness, no, Your Highness..."

"Let's go." Zhu Youjian didn't listen to the wailing of the head of the Ministry of Works, and took all his things to go outside the Ministry of Works.

At this time, the small official of the Ministry of Industry who had been observing in the dark hastily notified Wang Zuo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

When Wang Zuo got the news and arrived, Zhu Youjian had already packed his things into the car and was about to pack them up and take them away.

"Your Highness Fifth! No way, Your Highness Fifth!"

Wang Zuo ran out with his official robe in his hands. Seeing this, Zhu Youjian hurriedly beckoned Wang Chengen to leave.

"drive!"

Wang Chengen waved the reins, and the carriage immediately drove towards the imperial city.

"Your Highness!"

"Wang Shangshu, please stop!"

Wang Zuo wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Jin Yiwei of Nanzhen Fusi. Even if he stomped his feet in anger at this moment, he couldn't catch up with Zhu Youjian.

The Ministry of Industry was about to reap the benefits of his mouth, so he was robbed by Zhu Youjian.

Who would have thought that this ten-year-old yellow-mouthed kid could do such a shameless thing?

A group of Ministry of Industry officials were so angry that they wanted to curse, but the Ministry of Industry was not strong enough, not as strong as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War, so they could only sigh and return to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhu Youjian, on the other hand, sat in the carriage and flipped through the material brochures, humming a ditty triumphantly.

Following the sound of the song, he led the people back to the imperial city.
