Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 20 Chu King Li Kuan, who is he?
early morning.

The sun rises.

As soon as the officials from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry arrived, some of them were taken to Du Chuke.

"Du Shangshu, there are about [-] people gathered now, what do you want us to do, should we say it?!"

An official from the Ministry of Industry couldn't help asking.

Du Chuke looked around and found that almost all the people he wanted to call had come.

Everyone present,

All of them were identified and considered by him, and it can be confirmed that they are loyal to Li Tang's royal family.

"It's like this. I took the liberty to ask you to put down what you were doing this morning. There is an important matter to discuss."

To the incomprehensible eyes of the crowd,

Du Chuke slowly opened the drawings of the Luban lock obtained yesterday, one by one for the officials of the Ministry of Industry to look at.

"This...this is!!!"

Sharp-eyed officials immediately discovered that it was an architectural drawing, and it was different from their usual construction.

He picked up the drawing and looked it over carefully, his eyes widened and his expression excited.

"This is, this is the Luban lock!!"

"It's the legendary construction blueprint of Lubansuo. This... Dushang's book, you... where did you get it?"

The voice fell.

The other officials were all shocked.

"What! Luban lock? But the lost Luban lock?!"

"This... This is the real Luban lock, the legendary Badakou, which is actually built like this."

"Excellent, if the ordinary construction method uses this blueprint to explore, it will be stronger and more reliable."

"Du Shangshu, why do you have the lost Luban lock in your hand?!"

Many officials talked about it.

"Haha, this old man was lucky to get it from Her Royal Highness, the little princess. As for how she got it, I probably know, maybe she got it from the mansion of Li Kuan, the king of Chu."

Du Chuke laughed heartily.

"Chu King Li Kuan? Who is he?"

"I don't know, it looks like...it seems to be His Majesty's second prince?"

"Huh? Is His Highness the Second Prince His Highness Li Kuan? Wait, does His Majesty have this child?!"

Many Ministry of Industry officials were extremely puzzled.

Du Chuke was secretly shocked. There were very few officials who knew about Li Kuan. It seemed that His Highness the King of Chu was really low-key and had no sense of presence.

But it was such a person with no sense of existence who did things that surprised him.

"Okay, let's not talk about His Royal Highness Chu."

"I called you here today because I have a big matter to discuss with you."

"Our Ministry of Industry, isn't it preparing a construction plan for the Daming Palace recently? I am going to overthrow and start over, overthrowing all the previous building layouts, and using the Luban lock technique to build the Daming Palace."

Du Chuke stated his purpose for today.

According to the original process, the Daming Palace was built after all important fortifications were completed.

But among them,
They can prepare architectural drawings first, and determine in advance how to build.

It was originally prepared, and the drawings have been sealed away.

The reason why it is said to be sealed.

It is because there are too many fortifications at hand, and the Tang Dynasty is waiting to be done. It will take at least two or three years to finish the fortifications at hand.

The construction of Daming Palace, at least at this point in time, will be delayed.

"What? Overthrow the original plan? Du Shangshu, this is absolutely impossible. That plan was finalized by the Ministry of Industry in two months, and with His Majesty's permission, it shouldn't be overturned!!"

"Yes, all dynasties have been built according to that. I don't think Luban locks should be used. After all, Luban locks have been lost for a long time and have just been obtained. There are still many construction methods that we have never understood. We used them for the first time. Daming Palace is disrespectful to His Majesty."

"That's right! Besides, it's impossible to know whether this Lubansuo is true or not. Du Shangshu must remember to think twice before acting!!"

"Du Shangshu, I think the Daming Palace is immutable. The Daming Palace is too important. We can use the Luban lock technique in other buildings."

"I got it from His Royal Highness the King of Chu who doesn't know the craftsman's method. Whether the Luban lock is real or not is open to debate."

Voices of doubt flooded in like sea water.

Almost no one supported him, Du Chuke.

Facing all the doubts, Du Chuke snorted coldly.

"Wait, this is the crystallization of distrust of ancestors' craftsmanship? Lu Bansuo is regarded as a treasure of craftsmen, and now it is lost and recovered. It is most suitable to apply it to His Majesty's Daming Palace!!"

"As for you guys, it's the first time we're unfamiliar, and the Daming Palace isn't going to be built today, so we still have at least two more years to go!!"

"You are all the most outstanding craftsmen in our Ministry of Industry and the most outstanding craftsmen in Datang. Now that you have the blueprints in hand, all kinds of annotations are extremely clear. Isn't two years enough for you to learn the Luban lock technique?!"

This……

The officials of the Ministry of Industry were stunned and had nothing to say.

An official from the Ministry of Industry thought for a while and stood up and said, "Indeed, we shouldn't doubt the treasure of our ancestors."

"It's just that the Luban lock is too abrupt, so it's really wrong to overthrow the Daming Palace plan that we had prepared for several months. Du Shangshu, I think we should focus on the original plan, and then try to explore the Luban lock technique, etc. Make sure there is no problem with the Luban lock technique, and we will replace it."

"No way!" Du Chuke shook his head and said firmly, "We must adopt the Lubansuo technique. The Lubansuo technique summed up by our ancestors is irreplaceably powerful."

Ever since I saw the underground space of the Chu Palace, all of them used the Luban lock technique, and Du Chuke was born. The future Daming Palace must also be like this.

He wants to do it, the creator of Daming Palace, a palace of extraordinary craftsmanship! !

After a discussion full of saliva, half an hour later, the officials from the Ministry of Industry finally agreed to Du Chuke's idea.

Who made him Minister of the Ministry of Industry? !

Simultaneously,

In my heart, I am extremely curious about His Royal Highness King Chu who does not show mountains or waters.

Who is it that can get lost for hundreds of years?Even hundreds of years of Luban locks! !
but want to come,
Li Kuan, king of Chu, can selflessly dedicate Lu Bansuo, and is not greedy for money or rewards, so he must be an outstanding person in the world.

…………

Lu's mansion.

This morning.

Patriarchs of Qiwang with five surnames gathered here.

The first person to arrive was the Patriarch of the Li Clan in Longxi, and the last one arrived half an hour later, the Patriarch of the Cui Clan of Boling.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm getting old, I overslept before I knew it, and I'm still looking at Haihan."

Patriarch Boling Cui, although he was the oldest patriarch present, nearly seventy years old, he still apologized to every patriarch with an apologetic face.

he is older
But there are elders in other families, but they just abdicated.

As for his Boling Cui Clan, he is still headed by his [-]-year-old man, and it can be seen from this that there is a lack of success.

Apologize one by one.

After seeing the representatives of the Lu family, the Patriarch of the Boling Cui family was slightly taken aback.

It's not Fan Yang Lu's Patriarch.

It was an old man in his fifties who wore a hat, squinted his eyes, had a kind face, and hid his hands in his long sleeves.

"Patriarch Cui, this is the temporary acting Patriarch of the Lu family. Well, I know you have a lot of questions, and I will answer you later."

"Now, let's talk about who the king of Chu, Li Kuan, is? Why did Erlang of the Li family get all his food from his mansion!!"

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi was extremely puzzled.
