Chapter 110: The minister is just a bridge builder
Although the five great families rejected Li Shimin's wooing, Li Shimin did not give up completely.
At this time, Li Shimin still felt that everyone should focus on peace, and the imperial court was not yet able to deal with the five major families at the same time.
It can even be said that the imperial court is now at a disadvantage in the face of the five great families.
However, Li Yuanjing couldn't wait for Li Shimin to go to the slow layout, and directly found Li Shimin, and after a PY transaction, he finally agreed that the initial capital of the money bank was 200,000 yuan.
Li Shimin occupies 40 percent of the share, and Li Shimin also spends 20 percent of the share allocated to the three provinces and six ministries.
Sixty percent of the share accounted for a total of 120,000 yuan, but Li Shimin couldn't get so much money.
This is the real purpose of Li Yuanjing, in the end, Li Shimin agreed to set aside an area of no less than 50 acres in Yongxingfang, and contracted all the steel, cement, building and other materials, and finally made a price of 80,000 yuan.
In this way, Li Shimin actually only needs to pay 40,000 yuan, and the land and materials are not worth anything to Li Shimin at all.
Most of the people living in Yongxingfang are dignitaries, and some of them are empty, Li Shimin's favorite is this kind of crowd, as long as he opens his mouth, he basically doesn't have to pay anymore, just change it with them directly.
Steel and cement are completely manual problems, especially after Li Yuanjing specifically described the importance of this area, Li Shimin also approved of this plan.
In addition, Li Shimin also promised to select 200 people from Qianniuwei to be responsible for the security work of Qianzhuang, these people are voluntary labor, and Qianzhuang does not need to make additional expenses.
"Your Highness......"
Li Yang has been very depressed recently, and he was a little depressed after coming to Huangzhuang.
The promotion was a good thing for him, but now it is not a good thing, and he has been arrested again.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a few months, but you kid is getting more and more confused!" Seeing that Li Yang's style was different from the past, Li Yuanjing praised with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, the minister is just a ...... who repairs bridges," Li Yang couldn't help but remind.
"It's okay, this king thinks your ability to build a house is not bad!" Li Yuanjing waved his hand indifferently.
The house you want to build has never been built in Datang, so there is no way to talk about experience, and whoever is responsible is the same.
Li Yuanjing had contact with Li Yang a few times, and felt that this product was okay, so he was the first to think of him when there was such a good thing.
"Look, after this thing is done, this king will ask you to build two bridges that have never appeared in this world, and once they are completed, they will definitely go down in history!" Li Yuanjing didn't have a lot of chicken soup, and the temptation that should be given still had to be given.
Li Yang has long been accustomed to Li Yuanjing's train of thought, but whenever the task given by King Zhao is given, he will inevitably give a reduced version of the wooden model first.
These models are all proportional, and in fact, when they are built, they only need to be enlarged according to the scale.
The only thing that needs to be considered is how to design the load-bearing, etc., if Yang San has this ability, there is no need to find professionals like Li Yang, and you can start directly recruiting labor.
However, after looking at the whole model, Li Yang's head was instantly full of black lines.
"Your Highness, are you sure there is nothing wrong with the model?" Li Yang asked with a dark face, this is completely a ......
Li Yang didn't know how to describe it anymore, and he couldn't find any words in his consciousness to describe what he saw.
Two zhang into the ground, a ground-making room, two layers on the ground, two zhang on each floor, two hundred steps long, fifty steps wide, one zhang is equal to ten feet, converted into the data of later generations, one zhang is about 3.1 meters, three layers are six zhang high, the theoretical layer is 9.3 meters high, in fact, it may be about 11 meters.
This is just one of them, at the front of this big bump, there is also a house fifty paces wide and thirty paces long, which looks a little strange, a total of five stories high, but the height is about the same as the one behind.
"That's right, that's it, you name a budget!" Li Yuanjing nodded very affirmatively, what he had confirmed several times, how could it be wrong?
Li Yang frowned and squatted on the ground, picked up a branch to write and draw, the more he calculated, the more depressed he became.
Li Yuanjing's requirements were for a completely concrete structure, and a large amount of steel was used, which could increase the speed of construction.
But the hard part is in the basement, which is the most headache for him.
One step in the Tang Dynasty is not the size of the step when people go out, but five feet for one step, about 1.55 meters, width is 77.5 meters, 310 meters long, plane area of more than 24,000 square meters, in consideration of a depth of about 6.2 meters, then just one underground layer needs to dig out 150,000, less than 160,000 square meters of soil.
In the era of excavators in later generations, this amount of work is nothing, and it will be done in ten days and a half with more machines working overtime, but this is the Tang Dynasty.
In the end, Li Yang simply threw the small wooden stick in his hand fiercely, spread his hands and said, "I can't do it!" Just digging the earth required a thousand people to work for two months, and they had to use iron tools. It's better to start building it directly from the ground, and I am confident that it will be built in five months! ”
"Why is one and a half months enough for this king?" Li Yuanjing looked at Li Yang with a smile, big brother of the money bank, a pure ground money bank?
Even if you don't consider this aspect, if it is all built on the ground, this height will be higher than the palace wall, have you considered this problem?
"Your Highness doesn't know, the further down you go, the harder it is to dig, the soil below is much harder than above, and if there are stones or something underneath, the progress will be even slower." Li Yang said truthfully.
After learning the truth, Li Yuanjing also felt a deep headache.
The more people you use, the more you have to spend, according to Li Yang, whether these 200,000 yuan can build the base camp of the money village is still a question.
When the time comes, after the time comes, there will be no money in your hand, so what will you do next?
Moreover, the 200,000 yuan is actually 60,000 yuan, provided that both himself and Li Shimin's money can arrive in time.
Li Yuanjing scratched his little head a little depressedly, sister, is it really going to be an excavator?
Even if the things of Qianzhuang can be dealt with in the past, what about the super projects in the future? The amount of work is dozens of times larger than this, and personal financial resources simply cannot afford it.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Li Yuanjing still decided to do it.
There is no need to think about the hydraulic rod or something, he doesn't have that knowledge at all, and he doesn't have that ability, but he has another idea, whether it can be successful or not, just try it.
"The matter of digging the soil will be solved by the king, you go and find it now, and see if there is anything that can play a lubricating role!" Li Yuanjing said with a solemn face.
Li Yang couldn't help but blush, and said in a low voice: "What does Your Highness refer to?" ”
Li Yuanjing was stunned, and subconsciously scolded the dead, but he still said seriously: "Wheels and ......"
"Yes! This thing is not used much, and it is recorded in the "Chronicles of the Later Han Dynasty", so I will check ......"
