Chapter 481: An Alternative Deterrence (Part II)
Is Lu Zhe's palace city beautiful? No.
Is Lu Zhe's palace inlaid with gold and silver? Or not.
The palace castle, which has only completed three building groups, has no garden except for the necessary defensive walls (i.e., palace walls), and there are no palace complexes that require complex and undulating palaces, and to be honest, it is far from the royal palaces of other countries.
Under Xiao He's hospitality, the envoys of various countries were looking at this palace city that had not yet been established with shabby eyes, and some envoys were disgusted with the simplicity of the palace city, and there were no strange flowers and plants in the southern land, and there were not a few palaces. It seems that because the construction stopped, the construction materials of Miyagi were temporarily built in a hoarding warehouse with reeds and straw, which looked a little chaotic.
"Lu Hou is really simple, no wonder he can have such an achievement in a short period of time."
"yes, yes."
The people who spoke were Zhang Liang and Xiang Bo, who had known each other for a long time and had a very extraordinary personal relationship.
Zhang Liang's praise is a kind of cover-up, after all, this palace city is basically unfinished except for the outer city wall, and it looks too simple, he can only use words such as "simplicity" to cover up the "treatment" that does not meet the southern overlord, which can be regarded as a shame for Lu Zhe.
Xiang Bohui agreed that it was just a casual conversation, but in fact, there was no lack of vulgarity in his heart who despised Lu Zhe, a sudden rise of nouveau riche, and the place where he lived was not even comparable to that of ordinary wealthy families.
Lu Zhe has a latent sense of leaning towards the defensive nature, and no matter what kind of buildings are built, they always take into account the defensive focus when someone attacks, and they have been most impressed by the planning of those ramparts and roads along the way.
The engineering technology of the countries is naturally not comparable with Lu Zhe's side, and they actually have to admit in their hearts that in less than two years, the outer city wall of Nanling City has been basically completed, and even the palace city wall in the city has also been built, and the height and width of the city wall are not coping with the storage zΓ i, they are very surprised that Lu Zhe's side has such a high technology for the construction of the city wall.
As long as it is a person who comes to Nanling City, everyone must admire the majesty of the city wall of Nanling City. The walls that are seven zhang high and four zhang wide are too impressive, not to mention the height of the second line of defense reaching eight zhang. Although the defensive equipment on the city wall can only be seen from a distance, the ferocity of those equipment can be seen from the shape and size alone, and there are too many new things to admire the new technology of the jack gate at the city gate.
The height of the defensive wall of Miyagi is not lower than five zhang, and although it is impossible to see what it looks like, judging from the sound of footsteps, there must be quite a lot of armor patrolling back and forth. The width of the aisle within the wall should be three zhang, and it can only accommodate two carriages in parallel, so you can try to attack from such an environment, and there is an army in front of it. If there is an archer shooting an arrow or someone throwing down a piece of wood or stone, what should it cost to get in? And two of these walls have already passed after a quarter of an hour, and God knows how many will be waiting for the completion of Miyagi.
After passing through some roads that they don't know what kind of buildings are planned, they actually have a deep impression of the cement road under their feet.
Such a cement road has been widely used in Nanling, the width of the cement road between the counties may not be the same, but there are already cement roads to connect, Xiang Bo vaguely remembers that when entering Nanjun from Hengshan County, from arriving in Anlu County to Nanling, the envoys of Chu have always been along the cement road.
"They call it cement." Wei Bao was laughing and talking. The intention of the introduction is to show the closeness of Wei and LΓΌ Zhe's side.
Xiang Bo glanced at Wei Bao and did not give face to respond, to say that it is really close to the Chu State that lent land to Wei, after all, it is borrowed land, and it is the land of seven counties. But Wei Guo doesn't seem to have any love at all, and he is really an ungrateful guy.
But there is no way, the state of Chu has weakened, and the state of Wei is now relying on the protection of Lu Zhe to cause the state of Qi to dare not attack. Not only did Wei and South Korea suffer the same thing, but Wei and Han were alienated from Chu and Lu Zhe, and it seemed that they could only pretend not to care.
Xiao He sensed the disdain of the envoys of the foreign countries towards Miyagi. He didn't explain, let alone point to a certain construction site and say, "This, this, what will the future building pattern look like?"
A group of people walked through a hole door, and the view in front of them began to widen, and they couldn't help but stop and look at the place that resembled the square, and looked at the silver-gray granite floor on the ground with some confusion.
The plaza covers an area of about 440,000 square meters, and the silver-gray stone floors are so large that you can't help but squint slightly when you see the sunlight.
"If I'm not mistaken, there is a square outside Miyagi, but the ground is paved with cement." Zhang Liang also lost his temper slightly, and subconsciously found a topic.
The granite floor, full of silver-gray floors, now who said that Lu Zhe is simple, the value of such a square alone can be compared to the palace city of the world, after all, the wood material is easy to solve, the road in the palace city of the countries is a stone road in addition to the dirt road, where is there such a large granite square.
"Huh?" Xiao He pretended to be casual and said, "This square is not finished yet. My lord has additional plans for this square, and wants to use white marble for carving, which is at least two zhang tall portrait carving, and it will be the appearance of a meritorious hero. β
White marble? The envoys were no strangers to white marble, and this kind of white stone was indeed the most suitable for carving. Lu Zhe wants to use this square to display the statues of his meritorious heroes? The idea is so scary and shocking that it can't be overstated.
"I'm so envious......"
Of course, you have to be envious, carved according to the appearance, and then displayed in the palace, as long as Lu Zhe's power is not destroyed, or those statues are not damaged, then the people who are carved according to the appearance are destined to leave an image for future generations to admire.
"Ning Hou, the square outside the palace you mentioned, my lord is also useful." The expression on Xiao He's face was extremely reserved, and he liked to see the envious, jealous and hateful expressions on everyone's faces: "That place is to build a monument and provide it for the people (citizens) in the city to meet." β
Monument! What's that? Now there is definitely a custom and concept of erecting a monument, but the monument is not something that can be erected randomly.
440,000 square meters of square, as well as a monument, Lu Zhe obviously wants to copy the "that" square of the Celestial Empire!
Shocked by the information that Lu Zhe was going to erect a statue, there was only a "buzzing" sound left in the heads of the envoys of the countries, and it is estimated that he didn't even know how he was led through the square by Xiao He, walked through a city gate tower and came to a new place where willows were planted on both sides.
It was not until they came to the vestibule of the council hall that the envoys of the nations seemed to come back to their senses, but when they saw the scene in front of them, they showed distracted expressions.
"So high, so big, so magnificent......" Facing the majestic council hall, Wei Bao could only say these barren words.
Cement building, except for Lu Zhe, there is no other place here, and the style of the council hall in front of you is also unprecedented, the majestic building is basically a flowing water pattern, not to mention the edges and corners, some I don't know what material the carving is inlaid in the thick towering pillars that need to be embraced by five people, it looks very mysterious.
"It's so majestic!" Feng Zheng was also a little distracted, he saw the birth of a culture from these unseen building patterns, and according to the impressions along the way, this culture seemed to be systematically developed, not a random patchwork of east and west.
The gate alone was six meters high, and there was an angular pattern that had never been seen before, and they felt an invisible sense of oppression when they looked at such a building.
Big, very big, it seems that everything is magnified here, and a person who is only two meters tall at most comes to such an environment as if he has entered the world of giants, and in this environment, how can he not feel oppressed?
Xiao He saw a group of people with shocked expressions, he let out a low "heh", not to mention how comfortable the pleasure in his heart was, but his demeanor began to become down-to-earth and generous, and before the envoys could ask questions like curious babies, he preemptively said, "Gentlemen, please come in." β
"Huh?" The envoys reacted as they tried to maintain their demeanor, either pretending not to care or bowing their heads, but almost everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes around.
Xiao He felt a pity in his heart, the time was too short, if the palace city was completed, the envoys would never see such a small place, and they would definitely get more shock.
Stepping through the towering gate, they saw a lot of thick pillars, and when they looked up, there were no partitions on them, so that at first glance they looked like roofs.
Standing next to the thick pillars, the vast space and looking up can only vaguely see the roof with no known pattern, anyone in such an environment will feel that they are too small and too small, and make people feel an urge to escape.
"Please go to the side hall to rest first." As soon as Xiao He's words fell, he didn't know where the dozens of armor soldiers and servants came from, so he wanted to support the envoys of various countries and go to the side hall.
Because I don't know how so many people suddenly appeared, except for Xiao He, who had been mentally prepared, the envoys were shocked, and subconsciously thought: "This is weird!" β
The visual blind spot is a kind of layout that uses the two materials of space and columns to make people's vision fold and produce a visual dead end.
There is no geometric age, no one can say a reason for the layout of the space, and it is not surprising to be scared out of a cold sweat. (To be continued......)
