Wang Jian died suddenly, Xianyang's usual laughter and laughter quieted down a lot, and there were many people on the street wrapped in white cloth, all of whom were Wang Qian's believers.

The court was suspended for ten days, Xianyang City banned 100 days of marriage, all kinds of entertainment activities were also temporarily banned, and the forbidden army patrolled the streets day and night.

But no matter what happens, as long as the sky doesn't fall, life has to go on, and what needs to be done continues as usual.

With the continuous circulation and dissemination of Daqin Metropolis Daily, the enthusiasm of the people to vote for the election of 100 sages is also getting higher and higher, and the scope of participation is getting bigger and bigger.

The construction plan for the library has been completed, the vacant land in the south of the city has been completely cleared, and the library comprehensive project development agency under the command of Hu Kuan has been prepared, and at the end of October, the emperor asked for the requisition of prisoners and slaves to start construction.

On the eighth day of the first month of November, the auspicious day of the zodiac personally selected by Chen Xu, Marquis of Qinghe.

Emperor Shi, who had recovered from his injuries, led a group of princes, key officials of the six ministries of the three provinces and the Shaofu, tens of thousands of people from the five academies and the private sector to gather in the south of the city to witness the groundbreaking ceremony of the library.

Between the two tall wooden poles hung a long red banner that read, "Read poems, books, scriptures, and articles." Gather Chinese classics and spread ancient civilizations. Congratulations on the groundbreaking ceremony of Daqin National Library and Beijing Normal University! ”

Because it was a place to collect books and learn knowledge, it was destined to be an elegant and solemn place in the eyes of both the emperor and the officials and the common people, so it was much grander in terms of scale and ceremony than the original Keju Square.

The Ministry of Rites ordered to personally set up the incense case to prepare the three animals, and commanded Taizhu, Taile, Taibu, and Taishi to carry out serious and serious sacrificial activities, and wrote down the sacrificial words to pray for the blessing of the gods of heaven and earth to bless the successful completion of the project, after a group of masked witches beat gongs and drums around the open space to dance the great god dance, under the guidance of Chen Xu, Marquis of Qinghe, the first emperor personally picked up a shovel and dug up the first spade soil in the center of the selected library, Then, the three Shangqing led the civil and military officials, as well as hundreds of representatives of the hundred disciples who were invited to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony, as well as celebrities from all walks of life, and they also dug up a shovel of soil around.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, a full 5,000 firecrackers were ignited, the firecrackers and the billowing smoke, the chief commander of the project Hu Kuan ordered, tens of thousands of people, prisoners and slaves began to enter the construction site under the leadership of their respective stewards, in an instant, people roared and neighed and shook the sky, digging hoes and shovels came and went, the ox carts carrying slag squeaked, the sound of carpenters sawing wood and cutting trees to build hanging towers, and the people who carried wood and baskets rushed back and forth like ants, although they looked busy but orderly, Everyone quickly got into the work within the scope of their respective projects.

In a row of huge sheds on the side of the construction site, where the engineering headquarters is located, the walls around it are covered with wooden signs that read the strict construction management system and safety regulations, from the project director to the prisoners and slaves, everyone must strictly follow the rules and regulations, and anyone who violates the regulations will be punished or even expelled.

Because the library and the Beijing Normal University project raised enough money, it was almost in all aspects of security and logistics support, and in view of the seriousness of the project and the safety of the future, Chen Xu did not solicit investment from the private construction team like Dongfang Road, but all the design and planning to construction by the Academy of Sciences to ensure that the project did not have problems.

Although it was built by the imperial court and the Royal Academy of Sciences, Chen Xu still adopted the company management method of independent accounting in terms of employment and financial management, and the people were settled once a month with two catties of grain plus four yuan of wages per day, and the prisoners and slaves were basically full of two catties of grain per day, and the household and criminal departments would finally reduce the sentence or even release the slave according to the quality and progress of the project, so all the people who were recruited were very hard.

In the largest shed, where the project commander is hung, there is a huge construction chart hanging on the wall facing it, which carefully lists the planned project progress, when the foundation pit is completed, when the muck is cleaned up, when the basement is completed, etc., and in the center of the shed, there is a huge sand table, which is finely made out of a rendering of the entire project.

The whole project is planned as a pair of gossip Taiji graphics, the two eyes of the yin and yang fish are located in the library and the auditorium, a yin and yang double fish line is the central axis, the Beijing Normal University is divided into two campuses in the east and west, and the library and the auditorium are included in it, the whole planning is an open pattern, there are pavilions and pavilions and the corridor of the courtyard are intertwined and connected, and rockeries, ponds, woods, and streams are set up according to the direction of the eight trigrams, which fully embodies the trend of heaven, earth and man.

The library is modeled on the design of the Temple of Heaven, the whole building presents a circular pattern, but it is not a house, but is built into a huge circular single building in imitation of Keju Square, the foundation is 100 zhang long and wide, divided into five floors and a total of 10 zhang, which is built into five layers together with the basement, and the bottom two floors are used to store various ancient and precious ancient books, which are basically not open to the public, only for special research groups, and the remaining three floors are also used to store ancient books such as gold, stone, bamboo, wood, tortoiseshell bone fragments, etc., because they are in the elevated foundation. Therefore, many windows are designed around like watchtowers to enhance lighting and ventilation, although the classics of the three floors are open to the public, but for the five major colleges and the imperial court and other departments, the people can also enter to consult the information, but they need to apply for permission, the diameter of the above-ground building part is 60 zhang to build into three floors, arranged into an open library, used to store the bamboo and wood slips that are not too precious and the books and newspapers printed by the publishing house, etc.

The whole library covers an area of about 30 acres of group, independent patio pattern, all using reinforced concrete pouring frame, the foundation is built with stone bricks and cement, the above-ground part is made of wood and stone structure, and the bucket arch cornices are carved and painted with beams, generally speaking, it is like a strange building that integrates a round castle and the traditional style, but according to the model carefully carved out by a group of handmade and exquisite carpentry, it is still very beautiful and atmospheric, and has a very strong visual impact.

At this time, in the shed, Hu Kuan was wearing a rattan helmet and was introducing the overall construction plan and final effect of the project to the first emperor and the main officials of the three provinces and six ministries.

In the face of the strange architectural effect of the library, the First Emperor and Feng Qujimeng Yi and a group of big and small bosses who control the center of Great Qin all expressed strong interest, and after listening to Hu Kuan's introduction, they all agreed with this shape, and they were also full of expectations.

In addition to the library, the auditorium is another more important building, but the appearance is much simpler, it is a huge palace-like building, still all made of reinforced concrete pouring frame, supplemented by traditional wood and stone structure, the interior adopts the common model of the stepped auditorium in later generations, the rostrum is set in front, and the fan-shaped seats are below, a total of two floors, like a council hall, the stage provides debates and speeches, and the audience is below, and the second floor is not open to the public, which is specially reserved for the emperor to observe.

The rest is a variety of buildings of Beijing Normal University, basically there is no too complex structure, all are one-storey, two-storey and three-story wood and stone structure buildings, in addition to the buildings and halls for studying, studying, eating and sleeping, there are also recreation rooms, swimming pools, martial arts arenas, juju fields, badminton courts, horizontal bars and parallel bars and other cultural and sports facilities, in general, Chen Xu is almost completely copied the pattern of the later great universities, and then integrated the six arts of the gentleman such as the number of rites and music, shooting and other items required by the six arts.

On the whole, although this building complex, which occupies an area several times larger than Keju Commercial Plaza, looks complicated, but in fact the building volume is much smaller, and it is also adapted to local conditions, and the excavated soil and stones are piled up on the spot to form a rockery, forming a huge garden-like structure in the form of Zhenze mountains and rivers.

Looking at the sand table, listening to Hu Kuan pointing at each other with a bamboo pole to tell about the structure and function of all the buildings, the first emperor and a group of officials were confused, because no one had ever thought that Chen Xu's plan would be so large and fine, as large as every building, as small as every road, almost all of them were planned, and even where to plant flowers and plants have signs, one by one small wooden signs are inserted on the sand, on which are written laurel, pine, bamboo forest, etc.

And after nearly two months of planning, this sand table planning map also completely conquered Qin Shi Huang and all the officials who came to observe and listen to the lecture.

Half an hour after the groundbreaking ceremony was completed, Qin Shi Huang drove back to the palace after listening to Hu Kuan's planning explanation.

Chen Xu finally inspected the construction site, and told Hu Kuan and a group of project leaders a few words before climbing into the carriage and leaving.

"I'm really tired, I'm only twenty-one, why does my back hurt?" Chen Xu beat his waist and told the groom to go to the Jishantang Traditional Chinese Medicine Center, which had not been open for a long time.

It has been open for more than a month, and it has set up emergency rooms, internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, dermatology, obstetrics and gynecology, acupuncture, physiotherapy and other departments in the same model, and there is also a special pharmacy on the street.

After the opening of the hospital, with the help of Fang Sheng's running around and Xu Fuming's secret, he successively recruited more than a dozen skilled doctors and skilled nurses from the private and health centers and hospitals, and then recruited some apprentices and helpers. Just like the liar hospital that treated infertility in later generations, it was publicized everywhere, and soon the people inside and outside Xianyang knew that there was a large medical hall in the east of the city, and many of the doctors in it were too many doctors with excellent medical skills, and they also heard that the hospital was cheap to see a doctor and take medicine, so many patients came to visit it, so in less than two months, the reputation of Jishantang has spread to Xianyang, a household name.
