There are naturally spoils of war in war!

The Persian War destroyed dozens of countries, and there were many captures. Even if they are all small forces in one city and one country, they are also the wealth of one city. And with the accumulation of volume, it has given the treasury a large amount of revenue.

As an envoy of Armenia, Vadoan Mamikonian came to Maru, the capital of Khorasan, for the first time. Looking at the giant city surrounded by deserts and green states, I couldn't help but be shocked: "Oh God! Is this heaven? ”。

Although there was an element of compliment in the words, it was extremely enjoyable to hear in Timur's death. And in his heart, he was also heartily shocked by Malu City.

It's a shock to the senses!

It's like an ant facing a towering tree, with only indescribable powerlessness and shock in his heart.

Because Malu City is so big!

From the distance of the hill on which he stood, he could only see half of the outline of the city of Maru. Half of the river gradually merged into the jade belt, gradually disappearing into the dust.

It is also Malu City, not a common block city in the Central Plains. It's a polygonal city with a small tail. This is due to the desert climate of Maru, which makes the city of Malu rely on the river to expand.

This trend is even more pronounced after both sides of the river have expanded to their limits.

However, there are more forests near Malu City than when they left Malu before. Even in the city, you can see street trees and small parks along the streets. Some houses have also planted large trees on their roofs.

Timur learned from a letter sent home by his wife that the tree was still an order of the lord of the country. But in the early spring of this year, a black storm blew in Malu City.

The black sand in the sky forms a wall of sand under the action of the wind. Thus the city of Maru was swallowed up, and it was darkened as if the end had come.

After this happened, some people took the opportunity to spread rumors in Malu City. It is said that the lord of Khorasan did not obey Allah, which caused Allah to send down the wrath of thunder. And scare people that this is just a warning. If the ruler of the kingdom does not repent, it will bring even more terrible calamities.

This caused panic among the people, and for a time there were people fleeing from the city of Malu.

Fortunately, the news of the victory came from the Persian side, and the rumors that the Propaganda Division took the opportunity to counterattack against Khorasan were promoted. And on the basis of science, explain the principle of the occurrence of the sand city storm to the people. The affairs department also stepped up its action, found out the rumor-mongers, and punished them severely.

Those big families who contributed to the trouble were also warned.

When Li Chengji got the news, he only reprimanded Ma Lu up to the county guard and down to the city lord. Although the remaining ministers did not reprimand them personally, they were also very dissatisfied with their tone.

So the officials in the city hurriedly obeyed Li Chengji's order and planted trees inside and outside Malu. At that time, in order to ensure efficiency, live towering trees were transplanted directly from the vicinity. The forests near the Mashhad Valley are all about to be dug up.

This time, it will be on such a scale.

Vadoan Mamikonian didn't know the inside story, and thought that the masterpiece of the forest city in Malu City was only for beauty.

"The lord of the kingdom said that he would let the Puritans live in heaven." , Timur said with some pride.

Vadoan Mamikonian's eyes were drawn to two tall buildings!

It is the landmark of Malu City, the Crystal Palace. Built by Lee's firm.

The front and back sides are translucent glass, reflecting bright light in the sunlight. Even from this distance, Vadoan Mamikonian still felt that the light was a little harsh.

It is 12 storeys high, and the building materials are all cement and special steel. In such an era, it can be described as a skyscraper. In terms of characteristics, it can be said that it is no feature in future generations. It is a box house made of cement and glass windows. There is nothing to praise other than the high.

But in this day and age, it's a true skyscraper.

Building it is also the meaning of Lee Seung-ji!

Because of the upcoming founding ceremony, the Crystal Palace will be the protagonist.

And half of the official institutions will move into the Crystal Palace. It's just that the floors are too high, so they will only make full use of the first to seventh floors. From eight to twelve, it will be used for scenic spots, banquets and high-end hotels.

In this Malu City, where every inch of land is valuable, it can be regarded as saving a large piece of land.

"General, is that the staircase to heaven?" In fact, in his cognition, there is no concept of 'skyscraper'. So he instinctively didn't believe it was a house.

"Huh······ Vadoan messenger, that's the palace. When Timur left, the building was built. It's just that he didn't expect it to be built so high at that time. And from the outside, it would be so incredible.

It was like a wall, and it was daunting. It's like a staircase, making people think they can lead to heaven.

Lee Seung-ji also put a lot of effort into building this building.

One is the consumption of cement, which is thousands of tons. As a result, more than half of Khorasan's cement supply was almost intercepted by the Crystal Palace. Then there is the steel bar, which is technically difficult to create the right steel to withstand the height of the building. Li Chengji even used Xiaozi's encyclopedia to improve the science and technology tree.

It is also full of difficulties and obstacles because the foundation is too thin. Fortunately, there are still high-rise building cases to learn from in ancient times. Like the lighthouse of more than 100 meters in Alexandria BC, the tower of Songyue Temple more than 700 years ago, etc.

Combine their cases and technologies and refine them. And step by step in the manufacture of steel bars, we finally manufactured steel that meets the requirements. In this way, a lot of manpower was used to complete the construction in more than a year.

After such a lot of painstaking efforts, what Li Chengji was waiting for was the moment of the founding of the country.

Like this time, Timur returned to Malu to participate in the founding ceremony. The envoys of various countries also gathered to witness this grand event with their own eyes.

And the next national policy of Khorasan must be to recuperate. In two or three years, we will never use troops on a large scale against the surrounding forces. Then the necessary means of deterrence must not be missing.

This crystal palace happens to be one of the means used by Li Chengji to deter.

I believe that the envoys of various countries who come will definitely be amazed by this building that is beyond the times. So as to have a more comprehensive understanding of the strength and wealth of Khorasan.

When they return home to make a report, they should also remind their masters. Don't be impulsive and provoke Khorasan's wrath.

"Ahh Could such a palace be the realm of the gods? ", Vadoan Mamikonian exclaimed again.

This question was also thought about by Timur. Because in his opinion, the owner of this building, --- Li Chengji, is a god-like person. Otherwise, how could a great empire with a territory of thousands of miles be built in just a few years?
