So that's the case, Xuan Shijing nodded, and said: "Then don't be in a hurry to sell these things, His Royal Highness King Wei, the new paper has begun to be promoted in Chang'an City, the first batch of funds has come back, and the dividends of His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei have also been calculated, in this case, use this money to prepare for the construction of the Warm Pavilion, it just so happens that I am also thinking about what gifts to give the Queen Mother in the past two days, in this way, the matter of the Warm Pavilion is my share, and it is not easy for the two Royal Highnesses to directly intervene in this kind of construction in the palace, and the younger brother should take advantage of it, Let's do it in my name first. ”

Li Tai heard Xuan Shijing say that the implementation of the new paper in Chang'an has begun to make a profit, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I said the same thing with my eldest brother, if you embezzle the money allocated by the Internal Affairs Office or the Internal Affairs Office to the East Palace and the Wude Palace, the queen mother will definitely not agree, so I thought of secretly selling some ornaments that are not needed in the palace with the eldest brother. ”

Xuan Shijing waved his hand and said with a smile: "What do you say about repaying or not repaying, I have been taken care of by His Majesty and Niangniang since I was a child, and I want to do my best to warm the pavilion, besides, most of the new paper can have now, but it is the hard work of His Royal Highness King Wei." ”

Seeing that Xuan Shijing was like this, Li Tai didn't say much, just nodded: "So please leave this matter to Shijing." ”

"I wonder if Your Highness has budgeted for the cost of building a warm pavilion?" Xuan Shijing asked, although Li Chengqian and Li Tai's filial piety is commendable, and the two of them smashed the pot and sold iron, which also made Xuan Shijing a little moved, but after all, reality is reality, building a palace is not a joke, and the human and financial resources consumed are huge, otherwise, the matter of the warm pavilion does not wait for Li Chengqian and Li Tai Zhang Luo, His Majesty Li Er has already allocated money from the Internal Affairs Office to settle this matter, and His Majesty Li Er does not know the body of Empress Changsun, which is not suitable for living in the Lizheng Palace, presumably His Majesty Li Er wanted to do this, but was stopped by Empress Changsun.

When it comes to the matter of money and budget, Li Tai looks embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"I discussed this with my eldest brother in the East Palace yesterday, we plan to build the warm pavilion next to the Taiye Pool, there happens to be a deserted vacant land over there, which is very suitable for building a palace, and it is close to the Taiye Pool, whether it is winter or summer, the scenery is also very pleasant." Li Tai said.

Xuan Shijing squinted at Li Tai: "Your Royal Highness King Wei, the junior brother is asking you about your budget, not where you plan to build the palace." ”

"Uh" Li Tai paused: "We can't requisition forced labor to build this palace, so the workers' wages must also be counted, and a rough estimate will cost 20,000 yuan."

"Twenty thousand?" Xuan Shijing shouted out in surprise: "My Royal Highness, do you really think that 20,000 guan can build a palace?" ”

"How much does Shi Jing think it will cost?" Li Tai asked rhetorically.

Xuan Shijing smiled bitterly, he calculated in his heart, but he had a general understanding, but he was also taken a big jump by the calculated number, and regretted the bold words he just said, he thought that Li Tai was so ambitious to come to him, he had already understood the cost, and there was a way to get money in the follow-up, it turned out that his budget was basically a figure that could be sold by selling some utensils.

"Your Highness, let me tell you, since it is to build a warm pavilion for the queen's mother, and the warm pavilion is used as a residence for the queen's mother to recuperate, so the materials used in the construction must be the best, does Your Highness know the golden silk nanmu?" ”

Li Tai nodded: "I know, the pillars in the Taiji Palace are golden silk nanmu." ”

"When Yang Guang built the palace in Taiyuan, he used the best golden silk nanmu, which was transported from Shuzhong to Taiyuan alone, and it cost countless money, and now it is priceless in Chang'an, 20,000 yuan, which is not enough to buy a few nanmu." Xuan Shijing said.

"The warm pavilion is not the Taiji Palace, Nanmu or something, can't you find a suitable replacement?" Li Tai said.

"Yes, the wood of the warm pavilion doesn't have to be made of golden silk nanmu, it's too luxurious, and the queen must not like it." Xuan Shijing thought for a while and continued: "Mahogany or sandalwood is also made, this is the biggest expense of building a warm pavilion, just these woods, it will cost tens of thousands of guan, plus other materials and workers' wages, calculated together, there are 100,000 guan, to say the least." ”

Li Tai was shocked, 100,000 times! Even if the things in the East Palace and the Wude Hall are hollowed out, they won't be able to make up 100,000 yuan! Li Tai scratched his head embarrassedly: "I didn't expect it to cost so much money."

is still too young, young people do things with a lot of enthusiasm.

"Even if you spend so much money, you two still have to build it?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Li Tai hesitated a little, and then nodded firmly: "Yes, if 100,000 guan can make the queen mother's body recuperate better, no matter what method is used, my eldest brother and I will also make up this 100,000 guan, but in terms of time" Li Tai did not say any more, 100,000 guan is indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

Xuan Shijing nodded, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were really unexpectedly filial, in order for the eldest grandson queen to take good care of her body, she really planned to sell her palace assets.

"In fact, the warm pavilion doesn't have to be built into a palace." Xuan Shijing opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei must know the dragon boat of Emperor Yang in the pre-Sui period. ”

Li Tai nodded: "I know, it is said that the dragon boat is built in a luxurious way, and the pavilions and pavilions" Speaking of this, Li Tai understood what Xuan Shijing meant in an instant, and his eyes lit up: "Shijing is saying that the warm pavilion should be built into a pavilion style." ”

"Yes, compared to the huge project of the palace, the pavilion is much simpler, the foundation is deeper, and it is not a problem to build a five-storey pavilion at all, and other buildings can be built one after another around it in the later period, forming a building complex without affecting the beauty of the warm pavilion at all."

"It's just that the queen mother is the mother of a country, and if she lives in a pavilion, she may lose her identity." Li Tai said hesitantly.

"The Lizheng Palace is not suitable for the queen to live in all year round, but when the spring and winter are communicating, the warm pavilion needs to recuperate, so the warm pavilion is just a temporary place for the queen to live, which is also one of the reasons why I don't recommend you to repair the palace, after all, the queen is the mother of the country, the head of the harem, and according to the system, it is necessary to sit in the Lizheng Palace." Xuan Shijing analyzed.

Li Tai nodded: "Then if it is to build a pavilion, how much will it cost?" ”

Xuan Shijing really didn't know much about the cost of construction, but he knew that most of the buildings in the Tang Dynasty were made of wood, so he knew that the most expensive thing to build a palace was wood.

"That's what you have to ask the professional, after all, I don't know either." Xuan Shijing said.

Li Tai almost forgot that Xuan Shijing, who was sitting opposite, was not as old as himself, and unconsciously, he actually had a trust and dependence on this person younger than himself.

At this time, Long'er pushed open the door of the study, walked in with 20,000 rice porridge, put the rice porridge on Xuan Shijing's bookcase, and said, "Master Hou, Your Highness, drink some porridge to warm your stomach." ”

To be honest, I have been talking to Li Tai for so long, and I am really a little hungry, so I took the porridge and drank it in a big gulp.

"By the way, Long'er, is there anyone in the house who is familiar with architecture?" Xuan Shijing put down the bowl of porridge in his hand and looked at Long'er.

"This Long'er really doesn't know how to fight, Hou Ye asked what is this?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei want to build a warm pavilion for the queen in the palace, and they can't figure out how much it will cost." Xuan Shijing said.

"Warm Pavilion? Palace? If it is an ordinary palace, it will cost about 150,000 yuan. Long'er said.
