Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 212 Someone fainted
"Xiedao, I heard that you didn't even use a giant log for the construction of this new palace?"

Standing at the gate of Hanyuan Hall, Li Shimin felt the height, and was actually a little shocked in his heart.

Although Li Junxian often reported the construction progress of the new palace to him, it was the first time he came here after all.

The scene described by others is different from what I personally witnessed.

"That's right! All the pillars of the palace are made of concrete structures, with bamboo added as bones.

Some of the beams of the key palaces also had iron bars added as skeletons.

Such a pillar is as strong as a giant log, if not worse.

Moreover, the palace with concrete structure does not need to worry about the problem of wood decay, which is actually very suitable for the construction of palaces. "

Whether public or private, Qin Xiedao must praise the various craftsmanship and materials used in the new palace.

This is related to the future development prospects of the cement industry in Datang.

"Since you are so confident in the new palace, I will take a good tour with you today to see if it is worthy of the name."

After Li Shimin said this, he stepped into the Hanyuan Hall.

It was obvious that he just entered an open door, but Li Shimin immediately felt the huge difference between the temperature inside the Hanyuan Hall and the outside.

After quickly scanning around, Li Shimin didn't even find a briquette stove, feeling very strange in his heart.

Such a warm Hanyuan Hall, it is impossible that there are no heating facilities inside.

"Your Majesty, the main palaces in the new palace have adopted unique heating measures, and Hanyuan Hall is one of them.

Under these tiles, a layer of copper pipes was laid.

These copper pipes retain scalding hot water, which transfers heat to the tiles.

So if your Majesty feels it seriously, you will find that these tiles are warm.

In addition, we have installed radiators around the Hanyuan Hall, and we only need to boil the stove outside to provide continuous heating to the Hanyuan Hall. "

As a major innovation of the new palace, Qin Xiedao naturally wanted to emphasize the heating facilities.

This is the most expensive item in the construction of the new palace.

Those copper pipes alone are all yellow and orange money.

"You mean to say that the Hanyuan Hall is heated by heating instead of the copper tube briquette stove for heating?"

Following the direction pointed by Qin Xie, Li Shimin discovered the so-called radiator.

At this time, Li Shimin's expectations for the new palace immediately became a little higher.

"Your Majesty, we can come to the side, and after opening the curtain, we can see the scenes around Hanyuan Hall.

Because the foundation of Hanyuan Hall is the highest, it is also the building with the highest geographical location in the entire front palace.

Standing here, we can even see the whole palace. "

As Qin Xiedao spoke, he opened the curtains.

"By the way, let me introduce to His Majesty, this curtain is made of the latest wool cloth, and the quality is very high.

All new palace buildings are equipped with corresponding curtains inside.

When going to bed, close the curtains, even if the sun rises the next day, it won't have much impact. "

"Curtains? This thing is quite useful. However, are these windows really made of colored glaze?"

Li Shimin just glanced at the curtain, and immediately turned his attention to the window in front of him.

That transparent and cold material obviously never appeared in Daxing Palace.

"Your Majesty, what you said is correct, the windows of the entire new palace use a lot of colored glaze.

With this glazed window, the lighting effect inside the palace will be much better.

When the sun is shining, you only need to draw the curtains, and the whole room will be bright without candles.

And with these transparent glasses, you can clearly see whether there are people hiding outside to eavesdrop, which is also good for confidentiality. "

Glazed windows are a major feature of the new palace, so Qin Xiedao naturally wanted to introduce them.

"Such a large piece of glaze should be very expensive, right?"

Li Shimin thought of those glazed mirrors in the palace, all of them were of great value.

Although the glazed window in front of me is different from the glazed mirror, the materials used are obviously similar.

In this way, the cost must be very high.

"Your Majesty, what you said is correct. Although the cost of making these glazed windows on a large scale is lower than that of glazed mirrors, the price of such a glazed window is still as high as five pennies.

In the entire new palace, more than 1 yuan of glazed windows were used, and the cost of this piece alone exceeded [-] guan.

Coupled with the copper pipes laid under the floor, the things you see around you can be said to be piled up with money. "

Anyway, the more exaggerated the description of the construction cost of the new palace, the more it shows that the construction of the new palace is not easy.

Qin Xiedao naturally would not miss such an opportunity.

"Qin Dalang, whether these colored glazes are used to make mirrors or glass, they are all produced in your Qin family's workshop.

You say that they are worth as much as they are, which is completely a false concept of value. "

Gao Shilian at the side was a little displeased with Qin Xiedao's complacent appearance, so he couldn't help but interjected.

However, although what he said made sense, it was obviously not recognized by everyone.

"From the perspective of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how much these colored glazes are worth in the market, so the theoretical cost of building the palace should be.

The price of one piece of five pennies is already calculated by Mr. Qin Lang at a price much lower than that of the glazed mirror, so I don't think there is any problem. "

The new palace did not cost the Minbu a penny, so Dai Zhou, Minister of the Minbu, had a very good impression of Qin Xiedao.

During this time, Dai Zhou thought about a problem.

If Qin Xiedao didn't stand up to build a new palace, then Li Shimin would probably ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs to raise money to build another palace in the end.

At that time, it will be impossible for Dai Zhou to escape.

"What Dai Shangshu said is also reasonable, if the imperial court were to build such a palace, the purchase price for a glazed window must be more than five guan.

At that time, the construction cost of the entire palace will be a very huge figure. "

Du Ruhui also stood up and said something.

The friendship between the Du family and the Qin family is not particularly deep, but it's not bad either.

At least it's better than the relationship with the Gao family.

Now Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji joined forces, vaguely intending to control the power in the court in their hands.

Whether Du Ruhui or Fang Xuanling, they would naturally not allow this situation to develop.

However, as soon as his words fell to the ground, before Gao Shilian could say anything else, someone in the Hanyuan Hall exclaimed: "Someone has fainted!"
