774. Chapter 774 Tang Family Manor
Regarding what Tang Zhou said, Li Shimin couldn't find any contradictions, and finally could only ask Tang Zhou what house he wanted to build. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tang Zhou had also thought about the question of what kind of house to build, he originally wanted to build a house similar to the villa of later generations, and the house was best made of cement, maybe he had to burn bricks or something.
Cement, bricks, these things, he can invent, and if he invents them, the profit is definitely considerable.
Especially the cement, used to build the city wall is the most solid, it must be very popular with the imperial court, but if you really want to do this, the cost will definitely be very high, although now their Tanghou Mansion is not bad for money, but the money is not spent like this.
A large part of the whole house may still be built according to the situation, similar to the manor, garden, etc., but some houses may need to use cement and bricks, and build a few rooms similar to those of later generations.
Such a room is soundproofed and moisture-proof, and it is certainly much better to live in than a house made of wood.
"Returning to the Holy Word, the minister wants to invent something that can bond stones and other things together very strongly, so that they can build a stronger house, whether it is a storm or an earthquake, it will not be affected in any way."
Hearing Tang Zhou's words, Li Shimin was a little surprised in his heart, and said, "Tang Aiqing can really invent it?" ”
"There shouldn't be any problems."
"Can I use this thing to strengthen the walls?"
"Naturally, you can."
As smart as Li Shimin, he quickly realized the importance of cement to the Tang Dynasty that Tang Zhou said, if the walls of the Tang Dynasty are reinforced with cement, then it will not be easy for others to break through the city walls, right?
With such a city wall, it is equivalent to the Great Wall.
"Okay, Tang Aiqing go do it quickly, and let me see it when it's done."
"Whoa."
After fooling Li Shimin back, Wei Shuyu also said goodbye and left, after the two of them left, Tang Zhou's eyebrows sank slightly, and an idea that had been brewing in his heart for a long time suddenly popped up.
Find ways to grow yourself.
That's right, Tang Zhou wants to make himself stronger, so strong that others don't dare to touch him easily.
In the past, although he encountered danger from time to time, it was not particularly serious, and he never thought of making himself stronger, but since he experienced Li Chengqian's rebellion, he felt that with his current situation, there was no way to protect his family, if he had a secret organization, who would dare to deal with him like this?
Li Shimin came suddenly today, but it wasn't until Li Shimin came to Tanghou Mansion that he realized that if he hadn't burned Wei Zheng's things in advance, after being seen by Li Shimin, would he Tang Zhou still be able to live as comfortably as he is now?
He is not strong enough, he is not well-informed enough, and these can be fatal.
He didn't think about going to be the king, but he still had the heart to protect himself and his family from being harmed.
He had to be strong, so strong that no one could ignore him.
It's just that in this capital, how easy is it to make yourself stronger?
Rich and powerful, not really powerful, because there are many people who are more powerful than you, and their words may hit you to the death, and the real strength should be enough to have enough force and enough well-informed information.
Li Chengqian's power is big enough, but Li Shimin's words, he will immediately become a commoner, if he is strong enough, I am afraid that he will be the emperor, in the final analysis, his force is not enough.
It is obviously not feasible to develop the armed forces in the capital.
Tang Zhou's heart felt more and more that he needed to develop his strength, but the more he thought so, the more he felt that he needed to be forbearing, and he couldn't let anyone notice until the time came.
----------------------------
Tang Zhou didn't particularly know how cement was produced, but he had dabbled in it in his previous life, and he told some craftsmen what he knew, asking them to grind limestone into powder and mix it with clay in different proportions to see if they could invent cement.
And while these craftsmen were experimenting, Tang Zhou took Lin Qingsu and them to start looking for land to build a house.
According to Tang Zhou, their new house must have a rockery, an artificial lake, a swimming pool, a piece of land for Lin Qingsu to grow medicinal materials, and a piece of land for growing vegetables, and there must also be a wine cellar, an entertainment venue, and a toilet must also be improved, and so on, their house must be at least 100 acres.
Few people build such a big house, but Tang Zhou's house is similar to the more popular gardens in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Tang Zhou wants to add some modern things, so it must be bigger, and a hundred acres may not be able to satisfy Tang Zhou.
A hundred acres of land is not a small amount.
It is not easy to live in Chang'an, the land price of Chang'an is also very high, and the 100 acres of land connected together in Chang'an City will involve more people, and it is not an easy thing to let them sell the land, some people refuse to sell, and some people ask for a high price, so there are so many things, if you want to buy a hundred acres of land in Chang'an, the capital, it is simply impossible not to pay a large price.
And Tang Zhou didn't want to pay a lot of money to buy land.
So after thinking about it, Tang Zhou decided to choose a place outside the city with a good environment to buy it, and then build a manor.
The land outside the city is not as good as the inside of the city, the price Tang Zhou can still accept, after spending money to buy almost 200 acres of land, Tang Zhou began to design drawings in the house.
This kind of thing, Tang Zhou naturally can't do it, although he can also paint, but he can't do this kind of professional thing, he can only say what is suitable for building there, what is not suitable for building there, how to paint, it has to be a professional talent.
And there are professional people in the Ministry of Engineering.
Di Jing, Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, is currently a member of the Ministry of Works, just a very small official, and he is not valued at all in the Ministry of Works, but Tang Zhou went to the Ministry of Works, and after a little assessment, he felt that this person was talented, so he decided to let him be in charge of the design and construction of the drawings of the Tang family manor without hesitation.
But what Tang Zhou didn't expect was that after he made this request, he actually rejected Tang Zhou.
"Little Marquis, I'm really sorry, Xia Guan is an official of the Ministry of Industry, and he can be responsible for all the construction matters of the imperial court, but for the fact that you want to build a mansion, I am afraid it will be difficult to obey."
The Ministry of Industry has the rules of the Ministry of Industry, Di Jing has Di Jing's principles, but his principles make Tang Zhou very angry, and now the Ministry of Industry is not particularly busy, let you help me design the drawings, or help me take charge of the construction, is it so difficult?
"Master Di, why do you bother, it's just to help Ben Hou do something."
"Little Hou Ye, the main thing is that it doesn't follow the rules, the lower official is an official of the Ministry of Industry, if he helps you do these things, is it better for you to give money or not? If you don't give money, the lower official is aggrieved in her heart, and if you give money, it will inevitably make people feel that the lower official is seeking personal benefits in the position of a member of the Ministry of Works, since it is very difficult, it is better not to do it, what does the little marquis think? ”
