Chapter 456 Model

Just when the plan of Danyang Xindu was implemented, the entire model had already been made, and the current airship library basically represented the pinnacle of the construction technology that Ye Tao might try, and the entire airship library was so big that it was worrying, how big is it? Although Ye Tao knows very well that if he puts it in his own time and space, there will definitely be no way to put Boeing series airliners in, but there is no problem at all when he puts four business airliners, such as Gulfstream or something. Two oversized arc brackets and other well-organized brackets that cross the entire vault are supported. Since there is no plastic and no synthetic materials, the roof of the hangar is the largest canvas that Dongping can produce today. The width of this canvas is two battles, and it is something that Nanami Trading Company has created specifically for the sails of their main battleship. If it is used to make sails, the width of two zhang is enough for any warship, and the whole canvas without stitching also adds a lot to the warships that show off their might at sea. However, the canvas was not wide enough for the airship hangar. Fortunately, the craftsmen who build airships today have plenty of experience in keeping the joints unmarked and perfectly sealed, and the well-designed support structures and roofs do not put too much pressure on the roof, and the service life is passable. The four of these hangars consumed countless amounts of steel, hundreds of millions of tons of anti-rust paint, and six full months of production of canvas for the sailing department of Nanami Trading Company, but when the whole building was completed, when the hanging lights came on to illuminate the huge sand table model in the center, it immediately became the most fascinating place for everyone. Here, what is pinned is the future of Danyang, Dongping's ambition, and a dream about the future.

The whole model, about forty feet square, is roughly made of the appearance of the new capital of Danyang and the surrounding landscape configuration, and now, when no one is looking at the model, when the meeting is held here, there are several apprentices and apprentices in the workshop who continue to process the whole model, especially the trees and other things, so as to make the model look more realistic. However, there is a piece in the middle of the whole model, which is empty, and there is no design plan yet. Moreover, this location is still in the center of the new capital Danyang, which is the new royal palace in the future.

Due to the high mortality rate and low birth rate of the Dongping royal family, the palace never seems to have been underused. In fact, it wasn't until Tan Xiaopei's generation, or a few of Tan Xiaopei's direct brothers died that only he was the only one left, and he became the lord of the country, like Tan Weiming and Tan Weiran's generation, the two brothers were alive and kicking, and it was not because of how they stayed away from the battlefield, this situation is really not much in the history of the Tan family. There have even been cases of women who went to the battlefield and died in battle. If you want to say that in order to build more houses for the sake of the family's population, Tan Xiaopei will not refuse, but the palace is not so simple. And Ye Tao is not much interested in this kind of thankless work. In the future, the royal palace will have to integrate a variety of functions, not only to provide the royal family with residence and sufficient space for government affairs, but also to take into account the defense and avoidance of emergencies, to take into account the needs of work, life, entertainment, etc., and to consider that in the future it will inevitably be a place for a series of ceremonies, and there must be a sufficiently brilliant sacrificial building...... Ye Tao has some impressions, such as building the Temple of Heaven New Year's Hall and the three major halls of Taihe Zhonghe and Baohe together, but whether the architectural style is in tune with the whole city is not to mention, the cost and time and energy are really unbearable. Later, Ye Tao finally decided, no matter what traditional building materials are needed, where to find so many golden silk nanmu? In the end, Ye Tao decided to build the functional part of the palace (which will also be the palace in the future) based on seriousness, thickness and simplicity, and then build the living part of the palace based on scenery, style and livability. And Ye Tao decided to control the construction budget of the entire palace to less than 10 million taels of silver. In particular, the administrative part of the functional area of the palace will be located at a certain distance from the living area, so as to connect with the centralized office area of the imperial court arranged on the south side of the palace, maximize the use of the municipal facilities of the city itself, and minimize the construction cost of the necessary systems in the future, such as pipelines and mail.

Ye Tao came to Danyang with a simple idea and handed it over to Tan Xiaopei. Tan Xiaopei naturally had no dissatisfaction, but the Manchu Dynasty had a civil and military quarrel. It's not that it's expensive, it's the opposite. The summer resort of the lord of Chunnan outside Yuhang City, according to the lord of Chunnan, can barely live, and the courtyard costs 2.7 million taels of silver. It was built more than ten years ago. Although the price is relatively stable now, according to Tan Weixin, inflation is everywhere, and if you want to build it now, don't think about it if you don't have 3.5 million. The royal palace in Chunnan has been renovated several times over the years, and each time it cost more than one million taels. What everyone doubts is that Ye Tao can create something for only 10 million. However, Ye Tao has always turned a deaf ear to other people's opinions. As soon as the report was handed in, in fact, Ye Tao knew that Tan Xiaopei would eventually pass it, and what Tan Xiaopei wanted to leave for his children and grandchildren was a foundation that could be managed, simple and rigorous, and a family style that pursued victory, rather than a huge, overly gorgeous courtyard full of intrigues. Ye Tao carved out some of the buildings he had already considered in plaster, such as the new council hall in the future, the diligent hall for private offices and receiving ministers, and on the sides of these two buildings, the office areas where the bureaucrats assisted in basic document processing, the inner court library, which was closely connected to the entire administrative space, and the living servo parts that provided food and beverage for the administrative area, were all easy to handle and arrange. Ye Tao finally couldn't help but plagiarize the Hall of Prayer and the Temple of Heaven, and even copied the mysterious Echo Wall series together, and the Hall of Prayer for the Year will also be the only relatively pure wooden building in the entire palace complex. In addition, it was the idea of a lakeside living and leisure area that popped up in Ye Tao's mind, and the carving knife in his hand moved casually, and a narrow architectural model came out. And what made Ye Tao hesitate was, for the sake of this building, do you really want to make a lake in the palace?

"This ...... What is it? When Ye Tao was pillowing his forearm and looking at the architectural models he had made in a daze, a voice sounded behind him. It turned out to be talking about Weiming.

"When I thought of it, I carved it out with my hand. It doesn't seem to fit well in the palace. Ye Tao said frankly.

"You're so patient...... It's really interesting to have a lot of noise in the court these days, and everyone is counting one item at a time, whether 10 million is enough. Really, it's so much that money doesn't take money as money. Ten million taels...... Even if you spend money leniently, it will be enough to pull up another Blood Qi Army. Tan Weiming sat next to Ye Tao, and he didn't mind which royal blue robe on his body was immediately covered with plaster chips.

"You've seen too much in Wind Tracing City, there are still a lot of people who don't have food and clothing." Ye Tao sighed, "Don't talk about 10 million taels of silver, I know that some people have to live for a month with less than one tael of silver." I know that many people can't save even a few dozen taels of silver after a lifetime of hard work. Every penny is calculated clearly, even a few years, more than ten years later, if it is not a good year, I dare not buy anything casually. …… 10 million is too little, it's really, too discordant. Ye Tao shook his head, he was now one of the people who stood at the top of the power in Dongping, or even in the entire continent. I don't know how many people have taken refuge in their lives based on his opinion.

Tan Weiming has indeed grown up in the process of running the Canal Governor's Mansion in these years, and his arrogance has been wiped out, and now although he still cares about the basic prestige of the royal family, he is a good governor who cares for his subordinates and all the people under his rule.

"In recent years, although many people have become rich because of us, and their lives have improved because of the prosperity of Dongping, there are also people whose lives have changed because of our construction, and even changed customs in many places...... I really don't know if it's good or bad. The canal basin is the most obvious, it turns out that some villages want to worship the gods, the river gods, due to the excavation and repair of the canal, some places the river has been filled into heaven and earth, and it has become a tidal flat, what do they want to sacrifice? I saw them panic a few times, and I didn't feel good in my heart. This is completely different from whether they have money or not, whether their life is good or not. Tan Weiming sighed.

"The wheel of history is always rolling forward, we stand on the wheel, we can see the scene ahead, we can see the ruts in the rear, but we can't see how many other people's lives are crushed under the wheel. A lot of people ...... I can't see it either. Ye Tao sighed rarely, and suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind, he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt. He thought for about a few minutes, and then said, "But, Your Highness, I do have an idea, why don't we write these things down, or find someone to write them and let people see them?" Let people see what the life of Dongping people is like. ”

"Oh?" Tan Weiming was obviously very interested, and he asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you going to do?" ”

Ye Tao smiled and said, "Baowentang has been established for many years, except for the beginning of the period, I haven't taken care of it well. Now, there's finally something for them to do. Let's print something out and sell it, right? ”
