When going out on weekdays, Li Yuanjia doesn't like to sit in a sedan chair the most.

First, it was uncomfortable to sway, and second, he always felt that it was not a taste to let people lift him. It's just another convenience, he doesn't like to walk on the street on horseback, although the streets in Chang'an City are very wide, and Suzaku Street is even wider than one hundred and fifty meters......

Under normal circumstances, Li Yuanjia Chumen likes to ride in a carriage.

Of course, Li Yuanjia didn't really like the carriage, because there were only two-wheeled carriages in those years, and the steering and shock absorbers were backward...... In fact, in this part of China, the four-wheeled carriage has never been developed. So if you actually ride in a carriage, it's quite uncomfortable.

However, Li Yuanjia still prefers horse-drawn carriages to horseback riding.

If I have to say the reason, in addition to the fear of being injured by horseback riding, it may be related to the deep impression left on him by the smell of the horse when he traveled to the grassland and rode a horse in his previous life......

So after determining that he would stay in Chang'an, he already had the idea of completely renovating his carriage.

It is really not difficult to build a four-wheeled carriage, and you can make it beautiful with a few carpenters, but the difficulty is how to make it "light". And Sun Peng also pondered several methods in the years he was in Luzhou, and asked the blacksmiths to try to do it a few times, and the effect seemed to be alive.

Just want to enjoy a four-wheeled carriage, but you can't just build it with light.

"At the very least, we have to find out first, now let the prince sit in a four-wheeled carriage?"

Thinking about the issues that must be considered in the evil feudal era, Li Yuanjia heard Han Lucheng's voice outside: "King, we have arrived." ”

There was a "squeak", and the carriage stopped.

There was no need for Li Yuanjia to do it himself, naturally someone helped him lift the curtain of the carriage, and at the same time, a small stool was also placed next to the carriage. And after getting out of the carriage, Li Yuanjia did not rush down, but looked up at his mansion first-from the time Li Shimin rewarded him to the present, except for seeing the structure of his own house on paper, Li Yuanjia has not come to see it once.

The plaque of King Han's Mansion has already been hung up.

Looking at the wide and tall gate in front of him, Li Yuanjia nodded with satisfaction.

Hanwangfu is located in the northwest corner of Shengyefang, avoiding the East Market to the south. Although there is a wall in the middle, everyone knows how lively the East Market is in the afternoon, and if it is too close, it will definitely be very noisy. Seeing that the door of this house was directly open on the street, Li Yuanjia was even more satisfied.

In Chang'an City, not everyone's door can be opened on the street.

According to the rules of Datang, ordinary people or ordinary officials, the door can only be opened inside the wall, and if you want to enter, you must enter the door. Only officials of the third rank and above can open the gate on the street with permission.

Please note that it is with permission!

Therefore, those who really have this qualification are all princes and dignitaries, and important ministers in the court.

The gate is open to the street, firstly, it is more convenient, and there is no need to enter the house first, and secondly, it is invisibly different from other residents in the square, highlighting their identity and status......

Stepping down from the carriage, Li Yuanjia walked towards the gate.

It's just that as soon as he walked to the door, he frowned and stopped, turned his head and said: "Han Lucheng, start from the gate and take three hundred steps on each side, and all the open ditches will be changed to dark ditches for me!" Remember, make iron nets on both sides to prevent clogging! ”

It stands to reason that the open ditch next to the street is public, and Li Yuanjia can't move, but now he just plans to cover it with a stone slab and cover the sewage inside tightly, and no one should have an opinion.

"Yes, King!"

Without any hesitation, Han Lucheng immediately bent over.

Today is the first time that the king has come to the Han Wang's Mansion in Shengyefang, but the purpose is not to live in, but to tell his housekeeper how to renovate this palace. Han Lucheng was also mentally prepared before he came, after all, the transformation of the Luzhou Government Office lasted for more than a year, and the king had said before that he would not move here so early.

It is inevitable to carry out a major renovation of the palace.

So even if he felt that the mansion given by the emperor was perfect, Han Lucheng still followed Li Yuanjia upside down, carefully remembering every order of the king.

"Like the Luzhou Bureau, all the open ditches in the palace have been changed to dark ditches, and after Huang Licheng arrives, let him preside over the transformation of the sewer system in the palace."

"Yes, my lord."

"Here...... Over here...... And here, build me a bathroom. And here, build me a big bath......"

"Yes, my lord."

"Tear down this wall for me, open up two small courtyards, and level the land."

"Yes, my lord."

……

Measuring all corners of Han Wang's Mansion step by step, Li Yuanjia issued orders one by one according to his design on the drawings, and Han Lucheng wrote down these orders one by one, while calculating how many materials and tools to purchase in advance, so as to start work as soon as the Luzhou brigade arrived.

Today's Han Wangfu has no shortage of good workers.

Carpenters, blacksmiths, masons, everything, including dozens of small servants in the house, because they have been helping with the paper workshop all the year round, and have also participated in the Luzhou Government Office and the sewer renovation of Luzhou City, and have also accumulated a lot of experience, Han Lucheng is not afraid that no one will be available at all.

It's just that when Li Yuanjia came to a small courtyard and planned to transform it into a papermaking workshop, Han Lucheng finally couldn't help it: "Wang, this is ...... That's not right! ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

It was rare to see Han Lucheng objecting to his words, and Li Yuanjia was stunned for a moment.

"Your lord, this is your palace!"

I secretly didn't know how many times he rolled his eyes, but in the face of Li Yuanjia's question, Han Lucheng could only explain helplessly and carefully: "There has never been a reason to build a craftsman's workshop in the mansion, that is, in Luzhou, isn't Niu Da Niu Er's workshop also built outside the Luzhou Government Office?" If only they were to jingle in the house every day......"

When he said this, Han Lucheng closed his mouth tightly.

There are some things he still doesn't dare to say directly, that is, you let the craftsmen open workshops in the palace, and spread them so that the princes and ministers of Chang'an will not laugh off their big teeth? Even they, the subordinates, can't hold their heads up when they go out.

"Huh? That's right! ”

After listening to Han Lucheng's words, Li Yuanjia clapped his hands and said, "I almost forgot, if you want them to be here, it's really a bit of a flutter!" ”

Papermaking requires a lot of water, and it has to be boiled continuously, which is really a bit inappropriate to put on your own house.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanjia naturally gave up the plan to let the blacksmith and carpenter into the mansion, and nodded: "It's okay, then you can find a place outside the city to house them...... Don't save money, be sure to settle it down! ”

"Yes, King!"

Taking a deep breath, Han Lucheng quickly nodded. He knew how much Li Yuanjia attached importance to those craftsmen, so he didn't dare to slack off even if he didn't think so.

Seeing that Han Lucheng understood what he meant, Li Yuanjia nodded with satisfaction, and then slowly looked around, and was simply satisfied in his heart - the big mansion given to him by Li Shimin was really cool! Shengye Fang's land of hundreds of acres, he alone accounts for at least one-eighth of the area of Han Wangfu! I just walked around for a long time, and I only turned around for a small half, and I haven't seen the huge garden yet!

Corrupt! It's so corrupt!

If this is left in the future Beijing City, it will be a palace of Prince Gong!

Li Yuanjia showed a smile on his satisfied face here, but Han Lucheng next to him bit his lip, and suddenly said: "King, there is one more thing, my father specially wrote to me to remind you." ”

"Huh? What the? ”

"In two years' time, you have to think about it in advance now......"
