Chapter 357: True Pomp and Circumstance (1)
After discussing with the scholars for a long time, they did not come up with a suitable candidate, a person who is suitable to be the emperor, who does not conform to the system, and the person who conforms to the system is too incompetent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After everyone left, Wan Lei returned to the place where Pan Lang held the art exhibition, after the two met, Pan Lang looked at Wan Lei with appreciation and said: "Wan Lei Xiaoyou, you have done a very good job, this exhibition is a road for the grandfather of the country, a road that the scholars are trying to support, once these scholars think that the grandfather can inherit the emperor's throne, subtly, the people of the world will not oppose his succession, and then drive Zhao Guangyi from power, and the grandfather of the country can justifiably ascend the throne." ”
Wan Lei smiled modestly: "The seniors praised it falsely, these are all arranged by the seniors." ”
"Don't be too modest!" Pan Lang said: "I just asked you to try to get everyone to support Grandpa Guo, but you did much better than I expected, when Grandpa Guo ascended to the position of a great treasure in the future, I will definitely recommend you to him, with your talent, over time, it is not impossible to be a ruler!" ”
Wan Lei hugged his fists: "Then thank you seniors for promotion!" ”
Waving his hand, Pan Lang turned his gaze to the north: "Next, it depends on how Grandpa Guo deals with Lu Mengzheng, if he can make good use of Lu Mengzheng, the heart of the world's scholars will be at least half, and then Zhao Guangyi's world will not be able to change the master." ”
"Well, let's see how Grandpa Guo operates!"

Zhending Mansion City, the temporary residence of the Duke of Zhuo, Zhao Gu is discussing political affairs with Chen Zhifu, and he is talking about the construction of the northern land and the reconstruction of the damaged houses in Zhending Mansion.
With the grain transported from the Zhenla country, the hearts of the people of Zhending Mansion have been settled, although many people died in the earthquake, but it was a natural disaster, and the manpower was helpless, and the people saw that Zhao Gu borrowed food, and they naturally supported him very much, and after settling down all the people, the reconstruction of Zhending became the first major thing that Zhao Gu and Chen Zhifu needed to discuss.
The so-called negotiation is not to discuss how to raise money, but to discuss how to build and what scale to make, as for money, Zhao Gu has to worry about.
He used some of the grain transported from Zhenla as seeds and sold them to grain merchants and government offices in some other state capitals in the north for next year's trial planting, and the money in exchange for it could be used to build Zhending, and within the range of dozens of state capitals in the north, the industry of Zhuozhou commercial banks was not affected, so Zhao Gu could also use the profits of the commercial houses to subsidize Zhending Mansion.
What he did, the people of Zhendingfu saw it in their eyes, which was one of the reasons why the people of Zhendingfu were extremely supportive of him.
Regarding the construction of Zhending Mansion, Zhao Gu has his own considerations, that is, to borrow some architectural models from later generations to build a new type of building.
At this time, the Great Song Dynasty made most of the houses made of wood, stone, soil, bamboo and other items as raw materials, not to mention the waste of materials, and not too strong, not only could not prevent earthquakes, but even fire or heavy rain could cause damage to the house, so he wanted to build the main material for building houses in later generations - cement, to manufacture.
The houses of later generations are mostly made of reinforced concrete, strong and durable, not easy to damage, and the most important thing is that the cost is low.
Steel bars, the current iron-smelting process of the Great Song Dynasty can already be made, although it is not as fast as later generations, but the quality is not bad.
As for cement, Zhao Gu was a decoration worker in his previous life, dealing with cement and other building construction materials all day long, so he naturally knew their composition, so it was not very difficult to do, as long as he found a good configuration ratio, even an ordinary worker could make it.
Zhao Gu is busy making cement these days, in his expectation, if in the next few years, the cement can be promoted, will inject a new vitality into the Great Song Dynasty, when everyone lives in the cement room, the windows are clean, and there is no need to worry about the wind and sun.
If all roads are made of cement, there will be no more muddy mountain roads on rainy days, and it will also be a great improvement for private transportation.
But this was just his expectation, so Zhao Gu planned to try it with the Zhending Mansion to see if the house on the earth in the previous life could be tried in the Great Song Dynasty.
The house he wants to build in Zhending Mansion is a two- and three-story structure, with a frame-scissors structure and masonry as a wall, which is simple and applicable, and this frame-scissors structure is basically the same as the carpenter's process of building a house in the Great Song Dynasty, which is also easy for craftsmen to understand.
As for the masonry, it was better to solve it, he just mentioned the idea slightly, and the craftsmen of Zhending Mansion immediately understood, and within a few days, the perfect masonry was fired, and Zhao Gu immediately ordered to produce vigorously after learning about it.
According to Zhao Gu's concept, he hopes that the people can build houses with bricks and cement, this kind of house does not need to be too big, depending on the situation of each family, or two or three floors, or four or five floors, it is harmless, the most important thing is to save space, not to mention, but also very beautiful.
In his design, Zhendingfu will be surrounded by a rectangle with a city wall, and then the city will be planned to have eight long streets and sixteen horizontal streets, the whole city will be divided into many small pieces, these small blocks will be built houses, shops, garden landscapes, etc., each street is 15 meters wide, can accommodate six carriages in parallel, the street is lined with sidewalks, there are also two meters wide.
The houses in Zhending Mansion were also set by Zhao Gu, each house must not exceed five floors, the five houses must be connected together, support each other and be forced, and after the five houses is a small alley, which can allow horse-drawn carriages to pass through and lead to the street behind the house, which is convenient for transportation.
This model, which must be promoted throughout the city and which no one is allowed to violate, is divided into extremely regular rules that take into account all aspects.
Each house covers an area of about 100 square meters, and the two to three floors are two or three hundred square meters, which is enough for a large family of three generations to live in.
Around these houses, there is a park or lake every few miles, and people can visit it at their leisure.
In the houses on both sides of several main roads, some of them are planned as shops, these shops are frame-cut structure, each shop is also 100 square meters, if you want to be larger, you will combine the two shops, if you want to be smaller, the shops will be divided into two, just for the merchants to do business, but also more convenient for the people to shop.
Zhao Gu also divided these shops into areas, such as a certain area to sell furniture, a certain area to specialize in food, a certain area to sell paper, pen and books, all areas are clear at a glance, convenient for people to find shopping.
