As the place where the emperor lived and worked, the construction specifications of the Qianqing Palace were naturally very high.

Liu Jin also referred to the places where the leaders of later generations worked and worked, such as the Black Palace, the Black Golden Khan Palace, etc., of course, because of the limitations of the times, many things must not be realized, so they had to make some appropriate changes.

In addition, this is the Ming Dynasty after all, and the place where the emperor lived, it is natural to design it in accordance with the Chinese style, and one of the extremely important points is to be magnificent.

In addition, Liu Jin also introduced some concepts of leisure, health and entertainment in later generations, not only for office and living places, but also to add some leisure and health facilities, places and so on.

In order to complete such a responsible design, it is necessary to combine the architectural technology and conditions of this era, and Liu Jin also had to use his golden finger to design a feasible plan.

In this plan, the height of the newly built Qianqing Palace will be nearly ten zhang, that is, about 30 meters high, covering an area of more than 20 acres, and the main building will be designed to look like a jade seal.

There will be more than 10 large and small conference rooms in the entire huge palace, and the large conference room can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time; Several large banquet halls will also be designed to accommodate up to 1,000 people at the same time.

Of course, comedy and dance halls are also essential, and after you are busy with work, you can also listen to songs and watch dramas to relieve your mood and so on.

After arranging the main hall, the next place was related to the emperor's personal life, and several large and small dining rooms were also designed.

The large dining room is enough to accommodate hundreds of people to dine at the same time, well, the emperor, generally speaking, there are many concubines and heirs, and sometimes large family dinners are also needed.

There are dozens of large and small bedrooms, some of which are used for the emperor to sleep, and some are used for the office staff around the emperor, such as Xiao Jing, who closely follows Emperor Hongzhi day and night, of course, more are designed for concubines, so that when the emperor has any needs, he can be summoned as soon as possible.

In addition to these, Liu Jin also designed a bathroom for Emperor Hongzhi very intimately, built a bath, and built a bath, which was specially used for bathing, of course, the emperor had a large wooden barrel, but how could the wooden barrel be a bath?

There are also swimming pools and cobblestone roads built outdoors, which can be used for swimming and fitness.

Of course, Emperor Hongzhi's favorite study, this must be the top priority, for this reason, Liu Jin's design plan is based on the design of the office of the later generations, the most important thing is to reflect the atmosphere, the background Liu Jin has thought about it, ready to depict the map of the earth.

In terms of overall design, the new Qianqing Palace will still have steps, and the terrain will be higher, because Liu Jin is ready to design the heating system in the future.

The heating circulation system is designed in the interior, and when winter comes, you only need to add water to the bottom and continuously burn the fire, and there will be a steady stream of heating circulating throughout the palace complex, so that the whole palace complex is not disturbed by the cold.

"Father, you see, what about this shape, we designed it into the appearance of a jade seal, this jade seal has represented the Son of Heaven since ancient times, others will know it at a glance, and only you, father, can be worthy."

"At the top of the jade seal, we have also designed a viewing platform, if you are tired from work, you can also go here at night to climb high and look into the distance, overlooking the entire capital."

Zhu Houzhao is a qualified narrator, gushing in detail about the design of the entire Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi listened all the time, and through this drawing and Zhu Houzhao's explanation, he could fully imagine how luxurious and comfortable this huge palace was, so much so that he couldn't help but want to have one like this immediately.

But soon, he thought about it and frowned and said, "The cost of building such a palace must be not small, right?" ”

He has always been thrifty, diligent and thrifty, many places in the palace have not been repaired for a long time, of course, he only has one wife, unlike other emperors, there are groups of concubines, and a lot of palaces are needed to arrange.

But this is only one aspect, the more important thing is that he is more economical, the treasury has no money, and the ministers of the court and the central government are deducted to death, and they will definitely not allocate funds to repair the palace or something, and even the cost of the reconstruction of the Qianqing Palace will eventually come from his internal funds, don't want to get a tael of silver from the Hubu Shangshu Zhoujing.

"It doesn't cost much, don't look at the huge palace complex, in fact, it is mainly built by some reinforced concrete and the like, so it doesn't cost much, and the speed of construction will be very fast."

Zhu Houzhao said disappreliantly.

"It doesn't cost much?"

"It is said that the panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass, I don't know how much more silver it will cost to spend just the silver of these glasses."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and said.

"Father, this glass is produced by Erchen's own glass factory, it is not worth any money at all, but it is the most cost-effective, and I have discussed it with Lao Liu, the cost of building this Qianqing Palace does not require your father to pay a penny, all of it will be borne by me and Liu Jin."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said in a low voice, as if he was afraid that the glass would be known to be worthless, relying on the glass, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin didn't know how much silver they had earned.

"You paid for it?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately froze, and he had a feeling that a pie from the sky had hit him.

He knew that the cost of building such a palace must be extremely huge, at least hundreds of thousands of taels, or even millions of taels of silver, although he liked this design very much, but if he really wanted to spend millions of taels of silver to build the Qianqing Palace, he would definitely not agree, and he was not willing to do it at all.

Who knew that now Zhu Houzhao actually told him that this palace was built by the two of them for Emperor Hongzhi for free, this feeling is like a poor man being given a big villa by a rich man, and happiness came too suddenly.

"Yes, this should be a son's filial piety to your father and the emperor."

Zhu Houzhao nodded solemnly, and then said very atmosphericly: "It is estimated that it won't cost much silver, a million taels of silver is about the same, Lao Liu divides half of it, and I will pay 500,000 taels of silver to the sky." ”

"At most, it's only a million taels of silver, and it's about the same..."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly had a feeling of being poor, thinking about the millions of taels of silver in his inner pocket, in front of Zhu Houzhao, he seemed to be really poor.

If it weren't for the fact that he was his own son, Emperor Hongzhi would have wanted to rob the rich and help the poor, and the ghost knows how much silver Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin made by doing these transactions, especially this glass factory.

"How much silver do you have now?"

Emperor Hongzhi came back to his senses, thought for a while and asked.

"No, not much~"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately shook his head again and again and said, looking at Emperor Hongzhi with vigilant eyes, for fear that Emperor Hongzhi would ask him for silver again.

"Can the sale of that salt pan count as my share?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and suddenly asked, there is no way, this old man is poorer than his son, he is a little difficult to accept as a father, he is also an emperor, and he also wants to save face, he can't always live by robbing his son.

"Huh?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was dumbfounded again, Emperor Hongzhi has never been uninvolved in these things, why is he now thinking about participating in the sale of salt farms.

"Isn't the matter of this salt field disagreed with by the ministers of the DPRK and China?"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said.

"Are they emperors or am I emperors?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he said lightly, from Li Guang's matter, he saw the faces of many people clearly, plus the theft of the official warehouse was investigated more and more, and more and more officials were implicated.

This made Emperor Hongzhi also know, the feelings of the whole dynasty are rich people, and they all live a chic life, but he, the emperor, is thrifty and is scolded and sprayed every day.

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, everyone has a huge industry, and the little money issued by the court is not enough for them to drink a meal of flower wine, but he, the emperor, has no industry except for some Huangzhuang, and he is scolded for competing with the people for making some money in a honeycomb coal industry, and even plots to take it away.

So, he has seen a lot of things clearly, which is why he will support Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin to do business together, don't do it himself, let Zhu Houzhao do it, anyway, it will be the same sooner or later.

If you have your own industry in your hands, you will have a steady stream of silver, and with this silver, you can be more hardened when you become an emperor, at least you don't have to worry about building a palace or something.

"It's okay to have your father's words, I'll help you keep a share~"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately said with a hippie smile, and then thought about it and whispered to Emperor Hongzhi: "Father, actually, Lao Liu and I built this palace for you for free to make money, what a shrewd person Lao Liu is, how can he do a loss-making business?" ”

"He is putting a long line to catch a big fish, helping your father build a palace, playing a role as a demonstration leader, and then can drive the magnates in the capital to follow suit and build new houses, the sale of this glass is naturally needless to say, in addition, it can also drive other profitable transactions, which can involve as many as dozens of them."

"Father, do you want to participate in it, but don't say that I didn't tell you, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop, don't look at me and Lao Liu eating and drinking spicy eyes."

At this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't look like a prince at all, but like a businessman, of course, he didn't have the appearance of a prince, and he didn't look like an emperor when he became an emperor in the future, he could do anything, but he was not suitable to be an emperor.
