The memorial arch, also known as the memorial arch of merit, is one of the landmark buildings of the ancient feudal society, and the main purpose of its construction is to commend outstanding people with outstanding moral character such as outstanding military achievements or loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and belongs to the annex building of the ancestral hall of the temple.

And the Tang Dynasty Royal Martyrs' Cemetery that Gao Ming plans to build is actually almost the same as the ancestral hall in essence, but if he says that he wants to build a ancestral hall for the soldiers who died in the war, not to mention whether Li Shimin will agree, those Confucian scholars will definitely make a big fuss.

They don't want another Lingyan Pavilion to appear in Datang, not to mention that the memorial inside is still the "mud legs" in their eyes.

Gao Ming is not afraid of others to make trouble, but in line with the principle that more is better than one less, he simply said that he built the archway, compared to the ancestral hall, the archway is obviously easier for those Confucian students to accept, after all, the specifications of the archway are much lower than the ancestral hall.

At first, when the officials of the Ministry of Industry heard that Gao Ming was going to build a memorial arch for the fallen soldiers, they didn't have much thought, but when they heard that the specification of Gao Ming's memorial arch was 500 acres, they were shocked.

You must know that the Furong Garden is only more than 400 acres, that is to say, the Tang Dynasty Royal Martyrs Cemetery that Gao Ming plans to build is even bigger than the Furong Garden!

This is not the point, the point is that such a large cemetery, but Gao Ming asked them to complete it in half a year, which is simply an impossible task!

Therefore, as soon as Gao Ming's words fell, the officials of the Ministry of Industry knelt down in a large area.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, such a large project is absolutely impossible to complete in half a year, and I hope His Royal Highness will be gracious!"

At this time, they were all a little suspicious that any of them had offended Gao Ming, so Gao Ming would deliberately make such an impossible task difficult for them.

Looking at the Ministry of Industry officials who were kneeling on the ground, Gao Ming immediately frowned.

"I can take out 100,000 yuan a month and use this money to recruit 50,000 laborers, let these laborers carry stones and build walls, and then hire 5,000 stonemasons to build tombstones, and in half a year, build 100,000 tombstones, and at the same time make the walls of the cemetery well, no problem?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the leading Ministry of Industry official suddenly raised his head and showed a look of surprise.

"What about the house and the torii?"

"No, you don't!"

As he spoke, Gao Ming walked to a table, then took a pen and paper and drew a drawing on it, and as he did, he beckoned to the Ministry of Industry officials who were kneeling on the ground.

"Come here, look at this drawing I made."

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, several officials hurriedly walked over, and when they got closer, Gao Ming began to explain to them.

"You see, except for the two arches at the front gate and the back door, there are no archways in other places, and they are surrounded by walls, and there are tombstones one person high, twenty tombstones in a row, and evergreen trees are planted on both sides of each row of tombstones, and the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and there is no need for anything else, this tombstone needs to be ...... like this."

Hearing Gao Ming begin to explain, the surrounding officials of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly held their breath and listened attentively, not daring to be a little sloppy.

The drawings drawn by Gao Ming refer to the martyrs' cemeteries of later generations, and the deconstruction is very simple, so it only took him a while to explain the drawings.

After the explanation, Gao Ming put the brush on the table, and then raised his chin at the Ministry of Industry official in front of him.

"In the past half a year, I will take out 100,000 yuan every month, a total of 600,000 yuan, all this money is used to build the Tang Royal Martyrs Cemetery, you don't need to save me money, now tell me, can it be built in half a year!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, the official of the Ministry of Industry who was in the lead immediately became energetic again, and immediately bowed to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if Weichen is not mistaken, the royal martyr's cemetery you want to build is actually a mausoleum with only tombstones, if this is the case, with your 100,000 yuan per month, it will not take half a year to build it!"

"Hmm!"

Hearing him say this, Gao Ming nodded with satisfaction.

"It's good to be able to build it in advance, but the most important thing is to complete it according to quality and quantity, okay, don't talk about more, I haven't eaten since the morning, I'm very hungry, I'll go first, and I'll leave the rest to you."

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Looking at the dozen or so officials of the Ministry of Industry who bowed to him, Gao Ming nodded again, and then left the Ministry of Industry with his hands behind his back and returned to the East Palace.

When Gao Ming walked into the gate of the East Palace, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Lang Jun, you're back, dinner is ready, concubine, let someone serve it to you."

Looking at this familiar face, Gao Ming was stunned for a moment.

"Uh...... Wan'er? How did you get back? ”

The person who came was none other than Su Wan'er, and after hearing Gao Ming's words, she laughed again.

"After living in Huaqing Palace for a few days, the concubine is also a little tired, and I still feel that I am more used to it in the palace, so I came back."

Although she said it easily, Gao Ming knew that she was easing her heart.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately opened his arms and hugged Su Wan'er, stroking her long hair while sighing.

"Alas, Wan'er, I know you can't rest assured that I will come back, I am really too busy during this time, or else, wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is free, let's go to Huaqing Palace to live together, how about it?"

"Well, I heard Lang Jun's, the concubine is ......"

When she said this, Su Wan'er was stunned, and two blushes suddenly appeared on her face.

"Lang Jun, your hand ......"

"My hand?"

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming looked at his left hand, and then raised his eyebrows.

"My hands are fine, don't worry!"

After speaking, Gao Ming gently patted Su Wan'er's back with his left hand again, and continued to walk on her with his right hand, and pinched it even harder.

"Ahh

Su Wan'er, who had suffered a "sudden attack", suddenly screamed, pushed Gao Ming away in a hurry, and then ran away with a red face.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Gao Ming nodded suddenly, and then smiled slightly.

"Well, it's very elastic and feels pretty good."

It seemed that she heard Gao Ming's self-talk, and Su Wan'er, who hadn't run far, suddenly ran faster.

was teased by Gao Ming like this, and until it was time to eat, the blush on Su Wan'er's face had not completely faded.

However, Gao Ming was not in the mood to pay attention to these at this time, he was hungry from morning to now, and as soon as the rice was served, he devoured it.

Looking at Gao Ming's happy eating, Su Wan'er's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears immediately flowed.

Looking at Su Wan'er, who suddenly started crying, Gao Ming was suddenly stunned.

"Okay, why did you start crying all of a sudden?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er's tears suddenly flowed even more.

"If it weren't for the absence of the concubine, you would ...... You won't be hungry like this, it's all because the concubine is not in good health, and the concubine will never leave you in the future...... Woowoowoo......"

"Uh......"
