Chapter 193: Why hasn't construction started yet
The construction of the new palace was the biggest event in the eight years of Zhenguan.
The people of Chang'an City at the feet of the Son of Heaven are naturally all discussing.
Five-in-one.
Guo Dezhi, as a signature storyteller, is now more and more influential, and many storytellers in Chang'an City like to follow him in storytelling.
In a way, he is already the originator of a new storytelling.
No, what he wants to say today is based on various recent rumors and some news he has seen, and he also has a slightly exaggerated name: "30,000 craftsmen went thousands of miles to Chang'an."
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's story of ours will start with His Royal Highness the King of Chu going to Dengzhou to save the people from fire and water. It is said that in the summer of the previous year, Dengzhou Mansion suffered natural disasters one after another, and the people did not have enough to eat......"
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu followed the Tang envoy to the Wa Kingdom, brought back millions of gold and silver, and established the City Ship Division......"
"I heard that His Majesty wanted to build a new summer palace for the Emperor Taishang to escape the summer, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu took the initiative to take over all the money for the construction of the new palace......"
"As the saying goes, an arrow piercing the clouds will meet thousands of troops. His Royal Highness the King of Chu gave an order, and the helpers of various workshops wrote letters to their relatives and friends......"
"Just the day before yesterday, tens of thousands of people and craftsmen from all over the country rushed to Chang'an City, and it is said that even the guards of Xuanwu Gate were alarmed......"
After two years of pondering, Guo Dezhi has found that as long as he pays attention to the rumors and information of His Royal Highness the King of Chu every day, it is enough to provide himself with enough storytelling topics.
Wuheju now not only allows himself to take away all the guests' tips, but also pays himself five wages every month, which is very comfortable.
At the same time, not long after the division of labor was completed, the people of Liujia Village, who had been taken to the southwest corner of the new palace, were also happily discussing.
"Liu Fang, we've been eating dried meat for three days in a row, right? I don't think I've ever eaten so much meat in my life. ”
Liu Qing lay on the Chase bunk with a happy face.
In the past two days, although he was very tired from training, and he didn't quite understand why there were palace guards to organize everyone's training, Liu Qing felt full of strength when he thought that he would have meat to eat after training.
Whale meat and salted fish can be eaten every day these days.
He felt that his life was even better than what Liu Dalang said in his letter.
The food was good and the place to live was clean, although it was a makeshift shack.
This made Liu Qing take the training very seriously, and treated every request made by the supervisor, for fear of being fired because of his lack of effort.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu treats craftsmen well, Liu Dalang said many times when he came back last year, and now it seems that this is more than just kindness. Liu Qing, in the future, we must work hard to be worthy of the King of Chu. ”
"Yes, the steward also said today that even if Nanshan Construction Engineering completes the construction of the new palace, it will not be disbanded, and there will continue to be other tasks, let us practice our skills well."
The workshop where he is located is called Nanshan Construction Workers, and Liu Qing has already received his own waist card.
Now he is waiting for the construction of the new palace to start and put on a good show.
And there are craftsmen like Liu Qing, almost everywhere in the new palace.
Everyone waited for Master Yan's order to start working.
……
Near the new palace, there are people who watch the excitement pass by every day, and even some noble children also ride horses and run over to watch the excitement from a distance.
However, apart from the fact that some horse-drawn carriages were transporting various building materials, and some of the craftsmen who would be supervising were measuring the dimensions, there was no movement in the construction.
On the contrary, I saw a group of people being organized and trained like government soldiers.
After Yang Benman heard about this situation, he came over to take a look at it in person, and then handed over a letter of impeachment.
"The king of Chu recruited 30,000 young men and trained around Chang'an City day and night, and Weichen thought that the king of Chu was using the name of the construction of the new palace to carry out the purpose of rebellion, and he went to His Majesty to investigate! Timely vigilance is expected. ”
Li Kuan looked at the fold in his hand and was speechless.
Fortunately, since Li Shimin threw the song to him, he just didn't believe that he would rebel, otherwise he wouldn't have done it.
"Your Majesty, the right to hear about the history of the Imperial Palace, Wei Chen believes that it has become a tool for some people to take revenge for personal gain. The construction of the new palace involved a large number of craftsmen, and Weichen implored the Hundred Horsemen Division to arrange a part of the people to help manage these craftsmen. ”
Li Kuan felt that since there was such an unreliable impeachment of himself as Yushi, he would simply let the Baiqi Division go over to supervise it, just so that the guards of the Chu Palace's palace could rest and rest.
"There's no need to let the Hundred Horsemen send someone over, I naturally believe in you. However, the construction of the new palace has been announced for 20 days, why is there no movement at the scene? Do you want to explain this to me? ”
What Li Shimin cares about is whether the new palace can be completed as scheduled, and he can see the rest very clearly.
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, who did Your Majesty hear that Weichen has no movement at all? If Master Yan was here, he would definitely not agree with this statement. ”
"Oh, so tell me what you've done?"
Although Li Shimin heard that Li Kuan was busy in various workshops during this time, and guessed that it was for the construction of the new palace, after all, no party made it clear.
"Your Majesty, today is the tenth day of the fourth month, and Wechen promises to let Emperor Taishang celebrate his sixty-eighth birthday in the new palace after it is built before November at the latest. The rest are trivial things, and when it is finished, Wechen will explain them to His Majesty one by one, can I? ”
Li Shimin squinted and stared at Li Kuan, weighing in his heart how reliable this statement was.
According to his understanding, even if Li Kuan recruited 30,000 people and rushed to work day and night, it would be very difficult to complete the construction before November.
Not to mention that there may be rainy days in the middle, and construction will not be possible.
But Li Kuan's expression was so confident, so confident that Li Shimin wondered if he had ignored something.
"Kuan'er, you said this yourself, if you take it back now, I can promise not to pursue it."
"No, Your Majesty, to be honest, the first phase of the construction will be completed before November, this is already Weichen's conservative estimate, if everything really goes well, the possibility of completing the first and second phases of the new palace in November is also very high."
"Good! During this time, no matter what happened to the construction of the new palace, as long as you don't take the initiative to come to me, I can also promise that all matters will be up to you, and all the impeachment will not be issued. ”
Li Shimin is also a bold person, considering Li Kuan's various achievements in the past two years; In addition, the new palace is in the northeast of Taiji Palace, and you can see the progress there at any time when you stand on the Xuanwu Gate, so Li Shimin finally chose to believe in Li Kuan.
"Please rest assured, the construction of the new palace will officially start the day after tomorrow, and the construction progress will be rapid by then, please wait and see!"
