As soon as the holy car arrived, countless people followed the holy car all the way out of the palace.

Fang Jifan, Liu Jian and others walked together.

Liu Jian smiled, kept looking at Fang Jifan, and coughed: "Jifan, if someone mocks you, don't take it to heart, man, you must not be afraid of the eyes of the world." ”

Speaking of which, Liu Jian still admires Fang Jifan very much, except for this guy, he will go crazy every once in a while.

Therefore, seeing that all the officials ridiculed Fang Jifan, he felt deep sympathy for Fang Jifan in his heart.

When Li Dongyang, Zhang Sheng, Ma Wensheng, Xie Qianren and others heard this, they seemed to speed up their steps and followed.

Zhang Sheng sighed and said: "They think the virtuous nephew is stupid, but the old man doesn't think so, really." He blinked hard, trying to look sincere.

"Yes, yes." Ma Wensheng also sighed, although Fang Jifan's guy has cheated himself countless times, but Ma Wensheng is still a good man after all, he said: "Those people who chew the root of their tongue are not good things, and they are ashamed to read sage books." ”

Fang Jifan saw that these uncles came to comfort him.

My heart is warm.

It seems that this is a good thing, and our Jifan did the right thing.

Fang Jifan said: "I didn't take it to heart, I'm not a stingy person, I only have the emperor in my heart, there is our Ming Dynasty, others, the world slanders me, slanders me, what do I care?" If I am really angry, I will beat people, you see, I didn't beat anyone, so it can be seen that I am not angry at all. ”

"Hehe......" Everyone laughed, and they were very pleased: "It's good if you're not angry, it's good if you're not angry." ”

It's been a long journey.

But with the holy car, I couldn't sit in a sedan chair, and I walked for more than two hours, and I didn't see the side of Daming Palace.

Liu Jian and the others couldn't bear it for a long time, so they had to have horses to carry them, and while looking around, they said: "Why is it so far, if you go any further, you will have to go to the suburbs." ”

Fang Jifan said: "It's not far, it's not far, isn't this the slow movement of the holy car?" If it is an ordinary time, it will be more than an hour. ”

Liu Jian and the others are speechless, for more than an hour, hurry up and whip up, can we, old bones, be able to whip up quickly?

After walking for more than half an hour, almost everyone has collapsed, but the majestic Daming Palace is already in sight.

In the distance, is a tower.

On the tower, there is a mirror.

The mirror is transparent, and behind the mirror, there are pointers.

Emperor Hongzhi had already gotten off the dragon chariot, looked at the tower from afar, and couldn't help but greet left and right: "What about the prince, and what about the successor?" ”

Xiao Jing was tired and panting, feeling that it was difficult to breathe, he covered his heart and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... went to serve the Empress Dowager and his old man. ”

"Oh, Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan is here."

But he saw Fang Jifan coming in a hurry.

Without waiting for Fang Jifan to salute, Emperor Hongzhi pointed to the tower: "What is that?" ”

"Bell Tower." Fang Jifan said: "This building can not only be used as a corner tower, but on all sides, there are large bells equipped with Franc machines, Your Majesty saw that the pointer is not, the big pointer, the hour is reported, you see, a total of twelve hours, this big pointer, not just right, pointed at the noon scale?" There is also a small pointer, that is, can Your Majesty see clearly? He was aiming for three quarters, that is, it was exactly three quarters past noon. The clock on this tower costs a lot. ”

Fang Jifan blinked and began to talk nonsense: "It's worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but the bill hasn't been paid yet." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised: "Why didn't you pay?" ”

Fang Jifan said solemnly: "It is those who were shipwrecked by the Franco, they came to Xishan, sons, they know reason, move with affection, they are under the earnest teachings of sons, finally repented, and finally accepted the indoctrination, not only volunteered, to contribute their own efforts to His Majesty's palace, but also categorically never accept any money and food, give them money, they feel that it is an insult to them, they will never be humiliated, in their hearts, there is only a sun and moon to show, loyal to Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Hongzhi's face was a little strange, and he lowered his voice and said, "You beat them?" ”

"......" Fang Jifan said aggrievedly: "No, I just reasoned." ”

Forget it, Emperor Hongzhi is too lazy to care.

Looking at this bell tower, it is really a whimsical idea, ingenious to seize the sky, so that whether it is in the palace or outside the palace, any angle, if you want to know the hour, as soon as you look up, you can see the clock tower, you can know the current hour.

This...... It's a good thing.

Daming Palace is Daming Palace, looking from afar, magnificent.

Behind him, countless ministers have expressed their admiration, this is the first phase of the project, it is so good? Look, it's really no less than the Forbidden City.

The moat has already been built.

Outside the moat, there are still iron bricks, but once you cross the moat leading to the Daming Palace, enter the doorway, inside, suddenly open up, look down, it is actually made of ceramics as bricks, posted all over the ground.

Along the central axis, in the distance, is a huge palace.

This palace seems to be made of stone, not wooden.

In fact.

Wooden palaces are actually the most time-consuming.

If it was the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, it would be easy to build.

But with the felling of the past thousand years, in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the giant trees that can be used to build palaces have been cut down.

Everyone likes wooden houses, and the process of wood splicing is not fine enough, but all large wood has long been cut down.

Therefore, when the Forbidden City was first built, almost all of the wood used to make the palace was transported from Yunnan and other places, and the time spent on the way and the cost of transportation were extremely high.

Fang Jifan is very realistic, directly using bricks and concrete, and then painting and painting on the outside.

In order to maintain the transparency of this hall, Fang Jifan also adopted the method of floor-to-ceiling windows, which imitated the huge masonry structure of the Fengtian Temple, with one side of the glass directly on the ground, which was extremely transparent.

Not only that, in order to have enough sound insulation, Fang Jifan used three layers of glass to ensure that the proceedings in this hall can be isolated from the outside.

Behind each side of the glass, there is a roller blind, if you want to do things in secret, or if you don't want to bask in the sun, the roller curtain is pulled, and the new Fengtian Temple is immediately cut off from the outside.

The more huge the palace, lighting is the biggest problem, even if it is the Fengtian Palace, because the hall is too deep, it is wooden, it is dark and damp, and it has already had a faint smell of decay in the past hundred years.

This is also the reason why both Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Jiajing rushed to build new palaces and move.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the 'Fengtian Temple' in the distance: "That's the Fengtian Temple?" ”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "If Your Majesty likes to call it Fengtian Palace, it will be Fengtian Palace." ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”

The officials followed, looking dumbfounded all the way, this ...... Although it is only the first main hall to be completed, and the Daming Palace is only the first phase, and it has only a prototype, but along the way, what they see is not the style of the Forbidden City?

Not only that, but many 'gadgets' have been added, giving people a bright and majestic feeling.

Everyone walked along the white jade stone steps and went up to the Fengtian Palace, this Fengtian Palace, because of the floor-to-ceiling windows on one side, looking inside from the outside, it is indescribably majestic, and Emperor Hongzhi can even see the deepest part of the hall from here, the high golden luan and the throne, from here to the throne, there...... Extraordinarily solemn.

Emperor Hongzhi walked a few steps and entered the palace.

Fang Jifan coughed: "Take off your shoes, take off your shoes." ”

"What?" Everyone looked at Fang Jifan.

Emperor Hongzhi was also suspicious.

Fang Jifan hurriedly said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty doesn't need to take it off, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can the Son of Heaven take off his shoes, the minister is talking about them, it's them." ”

In fact, in the Han and Tang dynasties, ministers entered the palace to take off their shoes, but in the Ming Dynasty, this traditional culture was missing.

It's cold in Beijing.

As soon as these boots were taken off, everyone was wearing footcloths, which are socks as they were called in the post-secular world, but they were ...... There are also people whose feet stink, and if everyone takes off their boots and goes in, won't it stink?

But this takes off the boots......

Does it make people barefoot?

Everyone hesitated.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Please rest assured, it's warm inside, not only are these four sides mirrors, the sunlight outside can come in, and there is also floor heating at this bottom."

Everyone was taken aback, floor heating?

That's a big deal.

Fang Jifan ordered people to lay heating pipes one by one underground, and then burned a boiler in a remote corner of the Forbidden City, so that through the countless underground pipes, countless heating can be sent to the palaces commonly used in various places in the Daming Palace.

This floor heating is different from the fire dragon in the warm pavilion.

The fire dragon only supplied a warm pavilion, after all, when the Forbidden City was built, he didn't think of this, but it was too late to renovate the palace on a large scale, so the palace had to transform a warm pavilion, which was Emperor Hongzhi's favorite place.

But Daming Palace must be forward-looking, so Fang Jifan let people shop floor heating in advance.

In order to make the floor heating comfortable, each temple is also tiled.

Therefore, don't look at this Fengtian Temple, there are pieces of ceramic tiles, everyone looks at this smooth porcelain piece, and they feel very fond of it, and the tiles are matched with floor-to-ceiling windows, the visual effect is simply great.

This tile is also slowly moistened by the heating of the underfloor heating, so it ......

Fang Jifan was the first to take off his boots, even his socks, and then, in front of everyone, stepped on the tiles.

Although it was early spring, the city of Beijing was still cold.

But although Fang Jifan is barefoot, the soles of his feet and the tiles are combined, and there is a warmth, which goes straight to the soles of Fang Jifan's feet, and the floor heating is simply a qualitative leap for the improvement of the quality of life.

Everyone looked at Fang Jifan suspiciously, this ...... Can it really ...... Step on it?

This Fang Jifan, it won't be a prank, right?

Look at the ministers so reserved.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "I'll try it too." Fang Jifan, you remember, if you are naughty, I will not spare you! ”
