In the harem, the Changle Hall was full of joy.

In the entire Changle Palace, from the palace maid to the eunuch is busy, everyone has a smile on their faces, and in less than a month, the princess is about to get married, so naturally there is a lot of work to prepare.

In the palace, Princess Changle is weaving her wedding dress with a needle and thread, the exquisite wedding dress has gradually taken shape in the dexterous hands of Princess Changle, or it will be completed soon, originally these jobs are not needed to be done by Princess Changle, but Princess Changle decided to do it herself.

Princess Changle will keep knitting, pick up the set on her body from time to time, stand in front of the dressing mirror and try it, showing a shy and satisfied smile.

"Sister, it's not good, my brother-in-law has been impeached by Yushi again!"

Suddenly, Li Zhi ran in in with a panicked face, and said loudly, Li Zhi has now become Changle's little secret agent, and he will quickly run to report as soon as there is news.

"Ahh What's going on? Princess Changle exclaimed.

"It's not a new house built by my brother-in-law, it seems to be built too well!" Li Zhi held a Confucian journal in his hand and pointed to the contents on it.

As Merton's most loyal supporter, Princess Changle did not subscribe to Confucian magazines, so naturally she didn't know the news, and when she heard Li Zhi say this, Princess Changle snatched it over.

Seeing the content of the Confucian periodicals, she couldn't help but be moved in her heart, just based on the description of the Confucian magazines, she knew that Merton must have spent a lot of effort for this house, but ended up being impeached by the imperial history.

"You go and find out, what's going on?" Princess Changle urged, casually stuffing a pastry into Li Zhi's mouth.

"Okay!" Li Zhi immediately ran out.

Soon, the Mo family's construction of a wedding room for Princess Changle was too extravagant, and the news of being impeached by the imperial history soon spread and soon spread throughout the palace.

"Steel as the rib and cement as the backbone........................ Take the mirror as the window. ”

When everyone in the harem heard that such a house was not known to be cement, it must be an extraordinary thing to be able to make the Mo family attach so much importance to it, plus other extremely precious things were actually used to build a house, and they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.

"Mo Hou is really affectionate to the princess, glass porcelain is such a precious thing, it is directly used to build a house."

"Such a house is probably more luxurious than the princess's palace!"

"I heard it's three stories high?"

"Isn't that all the people living in mid-air?"

……………………

The palace maids immediately discussed, and everyone had a burst of envy on their faces, if there was a man who treated her like this, I am afraid that this life would be worth it.

"It's the only thing in the world!" In the Gaoyang Palace, the fire of jealousy in Princess Gaoyang's heart was blazing, and it couldn't be calmed down for a long time, why could Changle enjoy the most favor from her father, the most perfect love, the only treasure in the world, and even the eldest princess was born.

And although she had also received the magic mirror rewarded by her father, it was only after Changle! Everything good is used by Changle first, in her turn, in the eyes of Princess Gaoyang, how unfair it is.

The concubines of the harem stood in front of the new mirror made of mercury, looking at their beautiful face and perfect makeup in the mirror, and couldn't help but feel sorry for themselves.

"The Mo family was impeached for building a new house for Princess Changle?" Zheng Chonghua's lips opened lightly.

"Hui Niangniang, I heard that Mohou has personally gone to the court to defend himself, and now he has made trouble in the Taiji Palace?" A palace maid said that this palace maid was her confidant brought from her hometown in Xingyang, and she was extremely loyal to her, and she told Zheng Chonghua as soon as she heard the news.

"The Mo family is really poor for the sake of Princess Changle, but if those imperial historians want to think that they can control the Mo family because of this, it would be wrong." Zheng Chonghua sneered.

When she saw the list listed in the Confucian magazine, I am afraid that only the handle of ceramic tiles can be regarded as attacking, and the others are all produced by the Mo family or have a great relationship with the Mo family, I am afraid that the Mo family has already defended himself.

"And that's His Majesty's eldest princess!" Zheng Chonghua sighed.

After coming to the palace, she found out how high the prestige of the eldest grandson queen was in the harem, how favored Princess Changle was as the eldest princess, although the things used by Merton were very rare, but they were built for his daughter, from this point, the Mo family was already invincible.

Sure enough, after a while, news came from the front hall, and the Mo family retreated.

"Sure enough, if ......" Zheng Chonghua couldn't help but sigh, but didn't say it, if she met Mo Jiazi in advance, then I am afraid it would have been a different ending.

The woman to be married is probably her, she will enjoy the envy of the world, the Mo family used the magic mirror as a dowry to build her the most perfect new house, but there is no if, even if she plucks up the courage to take the carriage to the Mo Mansion, it is a step too late, and it can only be in vain.

With the end of the court dispute, more details of the Mo family's new house were gradually revealed.

Not only the concubines of the harem, but also the civil and military officials are extremely curious about how amazing the Mo family's new-style houses are, especially some important ministers who are married to the royal family, and they are even more itchy.

Princess Changle is the eldest princess, the head of a group of princesses, and now the Mo family has built a new house as a model, I am afraid that when their sister-in-law marries the princess in the future, I am afraid that it can only be built according to this model.

This was originally the sharpest handle played by Yu Zhining, but it was defeated by the new house built by Merton, not only the high cost, luxury, etc., but also a new new building, although the materials are unique, but the effect is also impeccable.

………………

"This is what you call a new house!"

On the exterior wall of the three-story new house, white tiles the size of bricks are arranged in a staggered manner, and the whole building is like being made of porcelain.

The last time Merton came, the exterior walls had not yet been tiled, the glass windows had not yet been installed, and now they were all completed, and the whole building was completely completed, and it was cleaned inside and out.

It's not just a new house, it's a work of art.

It's no wonder that Yu Zhining played the impeachment, I'm afraid that anyone who doesn't like such a house when they see it, even if it costs more money, I'm afraid that many people will be moved.

"Your Majesty and your Excellency, please come in!" Merton glanced at his masterpiece, nodded smugly, and said:

Merton reached out and pushed open the transparent glass door, inviting everyone into the new room.

Li Shimin was the first to step in, and suddenly felt that his feet slipped, and he couldn't help but look down at the ground, only to see that the ground was pasted with smooth and translucent tiles, and he actually had a feeling that he couldn't bear to step on his feet.

"That's the tile!" Li Shimin stepped on the tiles cautiously and looked at the figure reflected on the floor.

In the palace, there are not no floor tiles, but they are all large bluestone slabs, and the more expensive ones are white marble stones, but they cannot reach the brightness of the tiles.

Merton explains: "The biggest thing about tiles is not that they look good, but that they are clean. Even if there is a trace of dust, it can be easily wiped off, Dr. Sun often said that illness comes from the mouth, if we do not touch some dirty things, the chance of getting sick will be naturally reduced. ”

Li Shimin nodded approvingly, not to mention that it is clean and makes people less sick, in such a bright environment, there are naturally fewer diseases and fewer disasters under the physical and mental pleasure.

"This house is really bright!" Cheng Yanjin ran to the bay window, watching the sunlight shine through the glass and sprinkle into the house, the whole room was like daylight, and couldn't help but be amazed, his second son Cheng Chuliang was also engaged to Princess Qinghe, and suddenly had the urge to build such a new house.

Moreover, in addition to the transparent glass, the other walls of this house are painted with white plaster, which adds a bit of brightness and gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Other important ministers couldn't help but be amazed, the nobles of the high gate like to build the house high, what they want is not to have a bright house, but the house is too high and one of the biggest drawbacks is that it is empty, and it costs a lot of money.

Nowadays, this new-style house in Merton is only one zhang high, not to mention the hall of the Hou Mansion, even the ordinary brick house is higher than it, but a piece of glass glass perfectly solves this problem.

And every piece of glass is wiped clean, even if you sit in the house, you can enjoy the warm sunlight and the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Wei Chi Jingde knocked on the wall, listened to the dull sound that came, and couldn't help but sigh: "This house is really strong. ”

But looking at the wall, it is an inch thick, and it is extremely hard to the touch, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an iron wall.

"These walls are all filled with red bricks and solidified with cement, which is as solid as a rock, and it cannot be broken in a short time even if it is used with heavy equipment." Merton nodded.

At this moment, the walls are painted with plaster and cannot be destroyed, only the side of the stairs on the side, revealing a lot of white cement, Yu Chi Jingde and Cheng Yanjin did not even dislike the bending over, holding heavy objects to beat the cement hard, and the cement is unusually strong, just a few white spots.

"It's so strong, I'm afraid I don't have to worry about rat infestation anymore!" Fang Xuanling exclaimed. In this era, there were wooden and brick rooms, and even in the palace, it was inevitable that there would be a plague of rodents and insects. And building a house made of such sturdy materials will never be a problem for the rest of the world.

"Rock solid, and it lives up to its name! I'm afraid that only such a sturdy material can support these three floors. Wei Chi Jingde nodded in agreement.

"This house also has one of the biggest benefits, that is, to save space, Chang'an City is expensive, the world wants to settle down in the imperial capital, but Chang'an City is limited in area after all, in the long run, it will be overcrowded, if Chang'an City is built such a house, it can accommodate three times more population in an instant, what Weichen said is the latest generation of buildings is not a lie, over time, cement and steel buildings will solve the best way to solve the full population of Chang'an City." Merton said confidently.

The ministers nodded thoughtfully. The house was only a three-room space, and Merton built three floors to create a total of nine houses.

"What's more, if the raw materials are sufficient, it's not impossible for the kid to cover it with ten or eight layers." Merton said proudly.

Li Shimin's breath suddenly stagnated, if this is the case, the value of this new house will be doubled.

However, Merton's words changed and said regretfully: "However, if the construction is too high, it will be very inconvenient for people to eat, drink, and lazar, but these problem boys believe that one day they can be solved, and then this is the time for this new style of architecture to shine." ”

"The old man believes that the ink festival wine is not a lie, this is indeed a new starting point for my Tang Dynasty architecture, so it is worth it even if it costs more." Fang Xuanling nodded solemnly.

New materials, new architectural styles, new design concepts, larger living space, completely born from traditional buildings, and compared with traditional buildings, the advantages are extremely obvious, who doesn't like such buildings.

"Merton, you give me an account of how much it costs to build such a house!" Li Shimin looked directly into Merton's eyes and said.

Suddenly, almost all the important ministers focused their eyes on Merton's body, who is not moved by such a house, the Mo family builds their own house, naturally there is no need to calculate the price, what if they build a house for the princess in the future?

Merton carefully calculated it and said solemnly: "The cost of a thousand guan is just a chase of Confucianism, if according to the quoted price of the market, this house should have cost about three hundred guan." ”

"Three hundred yuan?" Li Shimin and the ministers were relieved at this time, ordinary people need 20 yuan to build three ordinary brick houses, and the family is afraid that it will cost nearly 100 yuan to build nine houses, and if precious wood is used, I am afraid it will be even more expensive, and it is not unacceptable to build a new house like nine rooms with 300 yuan.

For a while, many people secretly calculated in their hearts, but Li Shimin was here, and everyone didn't say it.
