In ancient times, how much did it cost to build a palace?

The exact answer, no one can say, after all, the materials used in this are of different grades.

However, it will definitely not be less than 1 million to 2.5 million yuan, or even more than a higher level.

Basically, it has always been about one tael of silver, of course, it may be two taels of silver in special periods. In other words, to build a new palace, the cost of materials alone will cost one or two million taels of silver.

Of course, considering that in ancient times, the emperor asked the people to come to repair the palace, as long as they were given food, they did not need to be paid.

That's basically the number, and the increase can't increase much.

What's more, now is the time of the disaster, and a large number of people come to the capital to repair the palace, including food and accommodation, even if there is no salary, I believe that there are many victims who are willing. As long as the construction period is not tight in terms of employing people, or more people are recruited to repair together.

In history, this should have been a matter of labor and money for any dynasty, but in the present tense, the benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

When Zhu Zilong's emperor doppelganger handed over the tasks of the three new palaces, "Old Driver's Palace", "Driving Palace", and "Take Me Palace" to the Ministry of Industry.

The people in the Ministry of Industry were very sad at first, because the Ministry of Household had long been out of money.

However, when they saw that the holy decree finally mentioned that they would use the money from the emperor's treasury to repair, the eyes of the others were bright, and there was no trace of sadness.

"Alas, most of the palaces in the palace are dilapidated, and it is rare to find the will of God today, so we must repair these three palaces well." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu didn't have to worry about money and food, and said in high spirits.

"My lord is really bright-eyed, and the lower officials really have nothing to say. The old driver and other new palaces must be magnificent, tall, and beautiful, and there must not be the slightest flaw in the materials. Moreover, the technology must be foolproof, the style can not be made up casually, the most important thing is that even the subtleties need to be carefully carved, carved beams and painted buildings This is the minimum requirement, the foundation must be raised at least nine zhang, and the nine palace doors are the specifications of the Son of Heaven. ”

For a time, other officials in the Ministry of Industry echoed each other. Because they thought that they could be a little bit corrupt in the project, they were all very happy.

"So, I'll wait for the time to calculate the man-hours and money required, right?"

Soon, after a long day of calculations, everyone in the Ministry of Engineering came to a conclusion.

"My lord, according to the ancestors to make good nanmu, the light beams and pillars need at least eighty-one, and they must be thick together. There is no continuation in the middle, there must be no flaws, this thing alone will be worth thousands of dollars, and it may not be possible to find a suitable one. That's a lot of consumption! ”

"My lord, only the officials calculated, even if this Nanmu is found, how to transport them back from the Shuzhong plank road over the mountains and mountains? This must be consumed, higher than the wood itself. I don't know how many people will die in the middle! ”

I don't know if I don't check this, and I'm shocked when I check it.

At the end of the day, when the personnel of the Ministry of Industry looked at the previous case, the Catalogue of the Ministry of Construction was frightened by the regulations detailing the number of rafters.

Therefore, in the end, they gave Zhu Zilong, the copycat emperor, an excerpt and put forward several difficulties.

However, the so-called difficulties they raised soon received a reply from Zhu Zilong.

"What? Nanmu doesn't have to be thick with a waist, can you fight? Can be wrapped in fine iron? Other bricks and other materials can be mixed with cement for use? The Four Seas Dragon Marquis is in charge? ”

The officials of the Ministry of Industry who received the emperor's reply were dumbfounded all of a sudden.

What is cement? There is a knowledge generation gap!

Soon, Zhu Zilong's emperor doppelganger issued a holy decree to his own body, and Zhu Zilong's body was solely responsible for repairing the new palace.

Now, it can be regarded as throwing the Ministry of Industry aside, and I can only do it. Their good plan has failed!

Zhu Zilong did this for a reason, there must be many unclean people in the Ministry of Industry. Give them as deputies, and they can only be greedy when they do things. If they are fully responsible, maybe it only costs 5 million taels of silver to build three palaces, but in the end it will become 10 million taels, or even more!

It has become a good place for officials to embezzle!

Nanmu can use big ones, and if there are no big ones, use small splicing, and the outside of the operation can also be used by wrapping it in iron sheets, and no one can see it anyway. That's a big savings!

Look at this Nanmu again, it can be completely from the Sanxia Waterway, oh there is no Sanxia Daba yet, but there is a main river, directly tied to other wood, together made into a wooden raft to float into the vicinity of the Grand Canal, and then through the Grand Canal into Beijing, saving time and effort and not dying.

At that time, Zhu Zilong was not only going to cut a hundred golden silk nanmu, but also a few hundred or nearly a thousand.

It is a huge fortune to pull it into the modern 21st century, and it is a trivial matter to exchange billions of yuan.

Therefore, strictly calculated, building a new palace, for Zhu Zilong's body, not only will there be no losses, but there will also be money. At the same time, his cement can also be sold to the palace, and he can decide how much the price is, and he can make a fortune back.

One or two come and go, which is equivalent to laundering some money that cannot be moved.

Where can you find such a good thing?

Thinking of this, Zhu Zilong even wanted to build a few palaces every year, which was definitely for the benefit of the country and the people.

Because, if he is allowed to repair, he will definitely not recruit laborers, but use the rental style, and the people can still get paid, and they will not suffer too much.

In such a period of natural disasters, the people have food to eat, and they can still have a small amount of wages, and they will not die of exhaustion. Zhu Zilong also makes money, and there is a new palace in the palace, which can be described as a great joy!

Moreover, the emperor's palace, the materials and cement used are all from Zhujiazhuang.

This spreads out, and there is a lot of face. That's a royal material!

This is like an example, the royal bricks used the Zhang family, will the Li family, who also make bricks, go crazy? In this ancient era when fame is inheritance, it won't be long before the bricks of the Zhang family will be sold all over the Ming Dynasty, and the bricks of the Li family will be unwanted.

This is a gold movable type signboard advertisement!

As for the cost of building a palace for the royal family, is there anything else besides the indispensable manpower? Anything can be earned back!

The common way of doing business in ancient times is in the business thinking of modern people, that is, the five scum of war.

It's like bumping into a person who can travel through two planes and time and space, and when he comes to take charge.

Late at night!

Zhu Zilong spread out a large map and put it on the table.

Looking at the huge map of the Ming Dynasty of the Forbidden City in front of me, I thought for a while.

The Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City, has lived 24 emperors in history and was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The palace building of the Forbidden City is the largest and most complete ancient building complex existing in New China in later generations, with a total area of more than 720,000 square meters, with 9,999 and a half rooms of the palace and palace, known as "the sea of palaces", the spirit is magnificent, extremely magnificent.

However, now, it does not have 9,999 and a half palace rooms in the Ming Dynasty, and the scale has yet to continue to be started.

There are many places where I can profit and add bricks and X, and I will make more money in the future, and it is a long-term golden job.
