The hot sale of Jinbi Garden has once again shifted the attention of the people of Chang'an City to the workshop city.

At this time, the construction of the tallest building in Datang, named "Empire State Building" by Li Kuan, once again attracted everyone's attention.

"Yuwen Teaching, you also saw this picture published in Datang Daily, right?"

In Weishui Academy, the eldest grandson Chong personally came to Yu Wenshan's office.

The most proficient disciple of Master Yu Wenkai, Yu Wenshan is the person who knows the most about the construction process among the people that Changsun Chong is familiar with.

Early this morning, when he saw the article in Datang Daily, he couldn't wait to come to Weishui Academy.

That "Empire State Building" seems to have brought too much impact to people.

Although it is only a boxy building, it seems to have no beauty or character, but you can't stand it tall enough.

"Lang Jun, do you want to ask if it is possible to build such a building? Are the plans in this newspaper true or false? ”

Yu Wenshan also knows a little about the grievances between the eldest grandson's family and the Chu Palace.

Besides, there have already been several Weishui Academy teachings asking Yu Wenshan similar questions.

So he didn't go around the bend with the eldest grandson, and went directly to the topic.

"That's right, a hundred and one meters high! And that's not counting the watchtower on top of the Empire State Building, which is more than double the tallest building in Chang'an. When Li Kuan said that he wanted to build such a building, many people regarded it as a joke, but I inquired about it, and the foundation of the Empire State Building has begun to be poured. This shows that Li Kuan is serious this time, but because of this, I don't understand. ”

The eldest grandson Chong arranged for the people who were staring at Li Kuan, and they couldn't count them on one hand.

The progress of the Empire State Building, he is naturally also a door clearer.

After all, this building is not like anything else, you can cover it up.

In Chang'an City, as long as you are a caring person, you can accurately grasp the progress of the construction of the Empire State Building.

"Twenty years ago, if someone told me that they were going to build a building of more than 100 meters, I wouldn't have believed it anyway. You know, such a tall building is not just a matter of piling up materials, it involves very complex things. But since the Daming Palace was successfully completed in such a short period of time, the situation has changed.

The emergence of cement has completely changed the pattern of the construction industry, especially the way of pouring beams and columns with reinforced concrete, which has made it possible for some high-rise buildings. For example, the Gewu Building of Guanshishan Academy is such a new building.

Therefore, theoretically, as long as the beams and columns poured from reinforced concrete soil are strong enough, they can support a building of more than 100 meters. Of course, there will still be a lot of trouble in building such a building. It is a very big test just to have so many craftsmen have the courage to work in such a high place. ”

As a master craftsman, Yu Wenshan is naturally very concerned about epoch-making buildings like the Empire State Building.

Even at Weishui University, his research focus has shifted to new architectural design.

Cement, glass, running water, heating......

These things have all changed the architectural pattern of Datang.

"So, although this Empire State Building will be difficult to build, it will still be able to be built in the end?"

Changsun Chong looked at Yu Wenshan with a little disappointment.

To be honest, he wanted to see Li Kuan fail more than anyone else.

Over the years, the pressure Li Kuan has brought to him is too great.

"Nanshan Construction Engineering is the workshop that Datang knows the most about new architecture, whether it is the leisure of cement roads or the construction of Daming Palace, they are proficient in the use of cement and steel bars. At the current pace, I estimate that the Empire State Building will be completed by next year. Even if His Royal Highness the King of Chu is bold enough and his pursuit is not so high, it is very possible to complete the construction within this year. ”

Yu Wenshan's words can be regarded as completely disappointing the eldest grandson.

"I see!"

……

Jin Tai hit the iron workshop, and Ah Niu stood beside Jin Tai with a sad face.

"Master, in just one month, the price of steel bars has risen by 30%, and the biggest cost of the products produced in our workshop is steel. With such a rising method, we probably won't have any money to make this year. ”

More than half of the business of Jintai Iron Workshop is now signed with other people in advance, and it can be said that it is produced according to orders.

This way is naturally beneficial for the stable development of the workshop.

Most of the enterprises in later generations also operated according to this model.

However, this has a negative effect, that is, the prices of these orders have been confirmed in advance.

Some customers who are in a hurry to get the goods have even paid the payment before, and only the delivery is left.

In this way, such as the rise in steel prices in the last month, it is very hurtful for Jintai Iron Workshop.

Don't talk about making money, it's good not to lose money!

"The iron-making workshop of the eldest grandson's family and the iron-making workshop of the Chu Wangfu have both increased in price?"

After all, Mrs. Kim is a person who has seen big storms and waves, and she has not lost her sense of proportion because of the rise in steel prices.

"The price of the eldest grandson's family has increased. The iron-making workshop of the Chu Palace, the current production capacity is said to have been eaten by the Empire State Building. Master, you don't even know how much the Empire State Building needs steel. A few days ago, I asked Liu Qing to take me to the construction site to take a look, and the three of them reported the thick beams and columns, all of which were made of stainless steel, and then poured concrete.

Just one beam and column, it takes thousands of catties of steel to build a floor. This Empire State Building is more than 300 meters long, and it has at least 30 floors, right? The number of beams and columns needed is tens or hundreds, and according to such a method of using Hong Kong, don't expect the iron-making workshop of the Chu Wangfu to take out the steel for sale this year. ”

Ah Niu gasped when he thought of the stout beams and pillars.

How much does it cost to build the Empire State Building with such a pile of steel?

It is also possible to build the wealthy Chu Palace, otherwise if you change someone, it is estimated that it will be finished halfway through.

"I heard that the Chu Wangfu built a huge iron-making workshop on the side of Hedong Road, and I don't know when it will be put into production. Although the cost of transporting steel back to Chang'an from Hedong Road is much higher, if the steel price in Chang'an City continues to rise like this, this method is not impossible to consider. ”

"Master, I've heard a little about this. Datang Daily will also have reports from Hedong Road from time to time. I heard that the scale of that iron-making workshop was larger than that of the Chu Wangfu and the Changsun family in Chang'an City combined. However, because the scale is too large, in the first half of this year, I estimate that the first phase of the project will be put into operation this month or a rainy day. The later ones will be put into production next year and later. ”

"In this way, you go to Hedong Road, try to transport a batch of stainless steel back, and see if this road is successful!"

After a little thought, Mrs. Kim made her decision.

The larger the output of a workshop, the lower the cost is theoretically.

The output of the workshop in Hedong Province is so large, the cost should be advantageous.

As for the cost of transportation, you will have to try it to find out.
