Chapter 326: Acquisition and Construction
'Master, do we really have to answer the edict?' A Taoist temple on Tiantai Mountain gathered five or six Daoists at this moment. The Taoist on the main throne of the pen www.biquge.info seems to be a fairy wind and Taoist bones, and he is beyond the appearance of the world. The person who questioned him looked quite young, but no one who knew him would ignore him because of his age.
'Go, why not. The old man stroked his long beard and said. I said, old man, you shouldn't be old, but you have a mortal heart, and you want to be a national teacher to have a good time. When he heard this, several young men glared at him, but the man did not care.
But when he saw the person who spoke, Hao was lying invisible, and he didn't respect the old man at all, but he also had the ability to disrespect, and he was not too young.
'Huh. The old man shook his head but didn't speak, and another person spoke, "Feng Daoyou, I think you must have gained something, why don't you say it and share it with us?" ’
'You refused to go to the Xian Temple before, why did you change your mind today?' The person who spoke, from the appearance, is quite elegant, if you don't know, you will definitely think that it is a Confucian student.
"That's it, that's it, heh, Mo Xizi also refused the emperor's conscription a few years ago, and he, an old Confucian, didn't want to go, what do you do." Just now, the person who had no image of the Taoist opened his mouth and sang, "Wild song three music, the emperor's grace is nine times, ask for the purple life, avoid Baiyun Peak, be ashamed of the book and pass the crane, and be ashamed of the paper to draw the dragon, He Zuoming is the master, and Gan Lao is in Songyan." ’
But it was this old Confucian who refused Wuzong's edict and gave poetry to Mingzhi. Even, he did even more absolutely, and soon after he directly announced, Bigu, sitting.
'I watch the heavens at night, and there should be great changes in the world. The old Taoist priest replied with a smile. As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience was shaken, even the Taoist who had no image and was now drinking a sip of wine, sat up straight, and let the pot of wine come out of the room, until the smell of wine was so thick that he filled the room, and then he screamed, "My drunken red dust." ’
Chen Daoyou can see everything, but he can't see this. The old Confucian said to the wine priest, and then said to the old Taoist, "You can't talk nonsense, the world has changed greatly, could it be that the country is going to be chaotic again?" ’
'Master, since that's the case, we shouldn't go down the mountain. Just now, the disciple spoke, "Without the master watching the sky at night, we can see that today is nothing more than that **** puppet, and it is strange that the world can not be chaotic." ’
That is, Master, when the son is just a fool today, this kind of chaotic fate must be caused by the horse thief, Master must not be fooled. There were two other disciples who had been silent, and now they seized the opportunity to speak. saw the old man waving his hand gently, and suddenly, everyone was silent.
'The world has changed dramatically, and it is not necessarily all bad. The so-called do not break and do not stand. The old man seemed to look up at the beams and pillars of the roof, but his eyes were sloppy, and only he knew what he really saw.
Although crape myrtle is dim and obscured by clouds, but the clouds and mist can't interpret the light of crape myrtle. Poor Dao is going to enter Beijing this time, and he has a good experience. ’
When Lao Dao said this, he was speechless. In this room, the three younger ones are his disciples, although one of them is profound, born with a different appearance, at a young age has been proficient in the Taoist collection, when the first emperor, it became famous to the heavens, Yuezhou observation made Li Baojian to ask, surprised by its Taoism, because of the request for the courtyard, the edict to build a view of the Tao. But still squeaky and tireless to study under it.
The other two are his Taoist friends, and they have friends with him at the same time, but they are also convinced by his Taoist skills, and they can be said to be half teachers and half friends, so when he said this, the others lost their temper.
I said, what about this old Confucian, a few years ago, in order to avoid the edict, he even used to pretend to be dead. Seeing that the old Taoist was determined to enter Beijing, several disciples also planned to follow, and the wine Taoist had no choice. I want to follow, but it's hard to give up my fellow Daoists.
Cultivating the Tao, although cultivating the Tao, but even if it is an immortal, there is a heavenly court, let alone a human being. Leaving aside the Taoist friends, there is no way to discuss the difficulties encountered in this Dao method.
'Go together, go together.' The old man laughed, "The world is just misinformation, what is this." And that's how it was settled. The same discussion took place in many famous mountains and rivers, some of which were to be go, and some of which were not to go. However, it will take a while for them to actually arrive in Jingshi. Li Chen is also very busy now.
After returning to the palace angrily, he regretted it again, this Daming Palace is now under construction. It's not that he wants to build a new palace, there are enough old palaces, but Li Chen went to the general as a prison that day, and then visited the young palace supervisor, and he had a new idea.
'Grandpa Ma, I want to overhaul the palace, huh? Li Chen came back that day, summoned **** Zhen, and said with a shy face, "I don't know which palace everyone is not satisfied with, the old slave immediately ordered them to renovate according to everyone's wishes." ’
It's not just one house, it's all palaces. Li Chen waved his hand, "It's not that I'm not satisfied, it's just that I arrange some new things." ’
'Come, bring it to Grandpa Ma.' Li Chen didn't particularly raise his voice, and someone immediately presented a few objects, but **** Zhen hadn't seen it.
Explain it to Ma Gonggong. The eunuch who brought it up pointed to these objects and said, "This is a toilet, which is used for defecation, and this is a sink for people to wash their hands." This is a shower head, which will run water in it, and it is used for bathing. The little eunuch explained, **** Zhen understood, but he was still confused.
If you like it, just change it. Confused, it didn't prevent him from replying to Li Chen, anyway, this palace is where you live, how you like to toss, how you love, how to change.
Li Chen touched his head and said with a sincere smile, "Actually, these are all fresh recipes that the national abbot has paid tribute to, and they will be suitable for use after trying it." It's simple, it's just.... He waved his hand to the little eunuch. The little eunuch relayed what he had heard.
'Father-in-law, these few things need to be heavily constructed, buried pipes, and water is diverted, but it is a bit troublesome. It turned out that there was a lot of movement, but..., "Everyone likes it, so it will be changed." Everyone is the Son of Heaven, this palace, everyone can change it as they want. ’
The matter was decided in this way, Li Chen let go of the general as a prisoner and began to make a big move, and the young eunuch also began to build all kinds of things according to the order. This made Li Chen have to take Su Xiaoxiao to live in Taiji Palace.
Not only Su Xiaoxiao, but Yang Er and Xiaohong also followed, but she was pregnant and Chao's family, and she couldn't move lightly, plus the Taiji Palace was stuffy, so it was inconvenient to give birth, so she was the only one who stayed in the Xianju Palace. As a result, not long after he went, Li Chen came back angrily.
Along the way, passing many palaces, all under construction. Pipes are being excavated on the ground in preparation for the burial of pipes. Near the place where the pond is located, the foundation is being excavated, and the pond is to be placed here. In modern times, there are water pipes, and the waterworks will pressurize it, so that you can turn on the tap and there will be water. The water pressure is not enough, and no matter how bad it is, there is a pumping motor that can be pressurized. But none of these Tang Dynasty had Ah, so they could only use the terrain.
The whole Ming Palace has a place, the north is high and the south is low, the east is high and the west is low, and the center is artificially dug out of the liquid pool. The water flows in from its east and flows out from its southwest.
Originally, under the plan of being a supervisor, the central Zichen Hall was the center of a group of palaces, and the Taiye Pool was to be diverted to get water. But he was directly hit back by Li Chen, joking, although there is no industrial pollution in these years, but if someone secretly sprinkles filth in the pool, wouldn't he want to wash it with these filth, and he will be disgusted when he thinks about it. What's more, natural water is not necessarily clean, so Li Chen insisted on building a pool and filtering the water before introducing it to other places.
Then, the vicinity of the Taihe Hall is the focus of construction, because it is the highest terrain to the water inlet, so in this vicinity, two major pools and a major waterwheel should be built. The large waterwheel lifted the water to a high place, and then crossed the river channel that led to the Taiye Pond, and built a large pool near the Ziyu Pavilion, so that it could supply several palaces to the north of the Taiye Pond.
Then, a small pool will be built near the Taihe Palace, and this pool will be used for a series of palaces nearby.
The whole amount of work seems to be small, and it is indeed not troublesome, digging a pool is simple, and it is easy to bury pipes, but it makes the whole general supervisor and the young government supervisor anxious.
For the general supervisor, the slightly troublesome thing is how to divert water and maintain the beauty of the palace at the same time, and the construction of those aqueducts and new pools must be kept beautiful and consistent with the scenery of the palace. After all, this is the Imperial Palace, and there can't be a place that makes the Son of Heaven look unpleasant.
What's more troublesome is how to lay the pipeline and how to arrange it to be beautiful and reasonable. Li Chen also plans to set up a toilet in the palace, where will this toilet be located, and how to arrange the sewage pipes inside. These will be nerve-wracking, and they have never been encountered before.
For the young superintendents, the trouble is a little less, and what they are more troublesome about is how to rush to make copper pipes in large quantities. Round pipes of copper, and those faucets, shower heads, and flush toilets. The copper pipe is okay, the faucet and other things have never been seen before, and it will take a lot of time for craftsmen to build them.
However, all this is busy, spending money like running water, Li Chen will not be able to manage it, anyway, someone will do it, at this moment he came to the Xianju Palace to visit the pregnant Chao family.
'Everyone. ''Heh, how are you feeling today?'' ''I feel okay, the Imperial Physician has Doctor Zhang, who takes the pulse of the concubine every day. ''Grandpa. At this time, a fat man came out, Li Chen sighed, and entered the palace, but he didn't want to take this kid with him every day to train him, and it didn't take long for his grandmother to spoil a fat man.
'Come to visit your mother, good boy. At this time, Chao said, "Everyone, do you want to visit the Empress Dowager Jiqing, Doctor Zhang told me, the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid time is running out, and there may be only a few months left to die." ’
Seeing that Chao mentioned this matter again, Li Chen nodded, "I will go to Xingqing Palace tomorrow to visit the Queen Mother." (To be continued.) )
