Chapter 734: Tower of Babel
Yang reformed the truth, Shi Fenglai, Han Bai and others' hearts only returned to their places slightly. It still makes sense.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then this altar of people, or Your Majesty said that the Huaxia altar, is indeed necessary to build..."Han Bai saw the matter and said this, he was not afraid of being so afraid, since it involves the continuation and development of Huaxia, then the emperor's intention to build this Huaxia altar is quite high, and the intention of doing things is high, and the more righteous it is, and it is more justifiable to do things. So, instead, I changed my mind and no longer regarded this incident as a terrible thing. But he talked about it seriously, and the emperor told him to go outside to publicize it.
"Yes, it is indeed necessary to build, not only to build, but to build well, to build tall, to build to reflect the strength of my Ming Dynasty, the greatness of my China," Yang Gai said.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know how big Your Majesty plans to build this altar, if it is very big, then it will take a lot of days, maybe it will not be completed in a few years, the minister thinks, this is only afraid that it will be difficult to achieve, Your Majesty" Bi Ziyan is still relatively vigilant, and did not applaud because the emperor said well, but provoked a thorn in the emperor.
"Hehehe, this altar, I plan to build the form of a monument, with a tall monument as the carrier of my Huaxia continuation and inheritance, and only in this way can I reflect my power and calm down this matter" Yang Reform said with a smile, what is the People's Heroes Monument, Yang Reform can think of it when he closes his eyes.
As soon as the emperor said this, everyone almost choked to death. Is it possible for the tall monument to serve as a carrier of the human altar? Perhaps in the eyes of Yang Reform, it is a very simple matter, but in the eyes of Shi Fenglai, Han Bai and others, this is definitely an earth-shattering project that cannot be completed.
Not only Shi Fenglai Han Ba, but also Bi Ziyan, Yuan Chonghuan, and even Wang Chengen all looked at the emperor dumbfounded. What's the matter with the emperor, just now he said that he wanted to find a place for the common people to worship in his place, and now he was going to build a tall monument ......, is this possible?
Yang Reform was also surprised, why did he say a word by himself, and his henchmen were shocked like this?
"..............., this, all the Qing family, are you okay? Why so surprised? Did I say something wrong? Yang Reform asked puzzled, and Yang Reform found that not only several ministers were in a daze, but even Wang Chengen was dumbfounded. Yang Gengai knew that he must have said the wrong thing, which made these people feel unacceptable.
"Ahem...... this, Your Majesty, dare to ask Your Majesty, did Your Majesty really say that you want a tall monument to build a human altar?" When Shi Fenglai encountered this kind of big event, he didn't dare to speak easily, so he naturally shut up, and Han Bai saw that Shi Fenglai didn't say anything, so he had to stand up and say it.
"Yes! I plan to build a huge monument, on which the words of the Chinese Monument are written in the words of Yingjin to commemorate the people who have contributed to the development and continuation of our Chinese civilization, all those who have contributed to the continuation and development of our China, and all those who have defended our China and fought for our China, are all worshipped, and all my Ming people, Chinese descendants, can be worshipped" Yang Gai further explained his "monument".
Han Yi this time, his brain mén sweated again, not because the weather was hot, nor was he scared just now, but because of the emperor's "naivety", the emperor said lightly, he wanted a tall monument to build an altar, the idea was good, but how could this tall monument come to the capital? Han Bai was sure that the emperor had never thought about this problem, and Han Bai sighed secretly, this emperor is still a little tender! Don't say tender, but should say that you don't know the suffering of the people, this emperor is sometimes not omnipotent! This is definitely not something that can be done by the next obligation.
"Your Majesty, if you want to build a monument to the altar of people, it must be tall to be worthy of the role that Your Majesty said to gather the hope of people in China, but has Your Majesty thought about it? How can such a tall monument be transported to the capital? If it is to be built in the city, and the two altars of heaven and earth are built together, it is necessary to pass through the city, such a high monument, even if it is put down, it is higher than the city, Your Majesty, this will not demolish the city..."Han Bai hurriedly persuaded the emperor, the emperor really "thought beautifully" and did not consider the actual situation. …,
"..............., from the city?" Yang asked in surprise.
"Yes! Your Majesty, can this monument not pass through the city? Your Majesty wants to build outside the city?
But even if it is built outside the city, it is extremely difficult to transport, and it is impossible to mine it from the mountains......
I don't know if Your Majesty knows the Yangshan stele in Nanjing, "Han Ba rushed to "educate" the emperor.
"Yangshan stele material?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is the Yangshan stele, or called the filial piety stele, is my Ming Dynasty ancestor to praise the merits of the ancestors and excavated, this stele is extremely grandiose, just the stele base has more than five zhang high, nine zhang wide, thick is nearly four zhang, if you count the stele and the stele body, there are more than 20 zhang high..., Your Majesty, such a big stele, how to dig down from the mountain? How to transport it to the capital after it was excavated? How did it get to the city when it arrived in the capital? Such a heavy stele, even if it is with ten thousand horses, don't want to drag it, let alone drag it to the capital, if it is to be built together with the two altars of heaven and earth, in addition to demolishing the city, what else can you do? "Han Ba is very knowledgeable, and expresses the grandeur of this monument with data.
"Yes! Your Majesty, although this monument is magnificent, but the manpower is always limited, Your Majesty's idea is good, but this monument can not be excavated at all, can not be transported out, transported out can not enter the city, Your Majesty, it is better not to build a monument, it is better to learn from the appearance of the two altars of heaven and earth, and build a relatively easy "Bi Ziyan also followed and said, Yangshan monument is also very famous in the Ming Dynasty. If it is a knowledgeable person, will have something to dabble, heard that the emperor wants to use the stele to build the altar, Bi Ziyan also felt that the emperor was joking, if the stele is used, this stele must not be small, too big to be built at all, and it is not a year or two can be built, now the emperor is in a hurry to find a place to worship instead of himself, where there is kung fu to wait for several years.
Shi Fenglai and Yuan Chonghuan also followed suit and said that the emperor's idea was indeed a little unreliable.
"Hehehe......" Yang Gengai saw that everyone was trying to persuade him not to build a monument, and he also persuaded himself about the Yangshan monument, and immediately laughed. [A few wordy words, do you think it's amazing to see this, it turns out that it's not an otaku who wants to build a monument alone, you can search for "Yangshan Monument" by yourself to see what Zhu Di's monument is like.
】
A few afternoons of time people were confused by the emperor's laughter, the emperor is not crazy!
"Since a few people know about the Yangshan stele, then I don't have to say more, Han Qingjia, you say, what was this stele built for?" Yang Gengai asked with a smile.
"Returning to Your Majesty, this monument is only excavated, and then because the monument is too tall to be transported down, it cannot be called a monument, but can only be said to be a monument,...... If it is said that the original intention of this monument was to praise the merits of Taizu..............." Han Bai immediately said, as a minister, Han Bai still has basic literacy, at least the emperor asked, he knew what the emperor was talking about.
"Hehehe, when I praised the merits of my ancestors, I used such a high monument, so I built the Huaxia Altar today, and when this monument was built higher, I could show my might, and I could withstand the worship of the people of the world to bear the heavy responsibility of continuing China, isn't it?" Yang Gengai said with a smile.
A few people almost choked to death, and since the emperor knew it, he still said this, didn't he lose his heart? Taller than the Yangshan stele? It turned out that the stele had been shelved for nearly two hundred years and had not been used, so should it be necessary to dig a bigger stele that was not needed?
“… Your Majesty excavated this monument, the east is long, after years of mining, several years of transportation, and then after several years of construction, I am afraid that ten years may not be built well, Your Majesty, this day is not waiting for anyone!
What's more, such a heavy stele, even if it is excavated, may not be able to pull it up, Your Majesty, think twice about this matter! Bi Ziyan followed and began to pour cold water on the emperor. …,
Several other people also advised the emperor to think twice.
"Huh
...... "Where did you think of it?" Is it necessary to dig stone to build a monument? Do you have to dig the whole piece? Do you have to build it for a few years?
Hehehehe, speaking of which, even if I could dig out such a whole stele and transport it to the capital, I was not in the mood to wait that long, and now I am going to use it immediately, how can I afford to wait so long? I think that this altar is best built within a year or two" Yang Reform said with a smile, Yang Reform thought of the monument, of course, is made of concrete, fast and trouble-free, that is, a tall building has been built, which can be put into use soon, and can promote a new type of building materials cement, cement and steel once the building materials are used on a large scale, the Ming Dynasty will definitely move into another world, a world of reinforced concrete soil, in later generations, perhaps many people will have a sense of rejection of steel and concrete, what steel forest, far away from nature, But for the current Yang reform, this steel forest is definitely a symbol of civilization of strength.
Several people were about to be thundered to death by the emperor, and quickly and well built a monument that was taller than the Yangshan monument, did the emperor really send a god to transport the monument? Several people felt that there was probably no other way to do this except for the help of the gods, thinking that the emperor had always claimed to have the help of gods, maybe the emperor really had some way to ...... this matter, and the more people thought about it, the more mysterious it became,...............
"It is precisely because I feel the Yangshan stele that I want to build such a "human altar", and only such a tall stele can set off the strength of my Ming Dynasty, can set off the greatness of my Huaxia, my ancestors had this heart, but there is no way to complete this wish, today, in my hands to complete his ......, no, the monument was built just to praise the merits of Taizu, and I want to praise the merits of the continuation of China, this, more than the merit of a family and a surname, naturally than this monument to build a higher ...... Yang Gai said happily.
In addition to being dumbfounded, several ministers could only be stunned, it's over, the emperor has hysteria, it's not light, and he can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. The Yangshan stele adds up to twenty or thirty zhang high, and now build a stele that is even higher than this, isn't this crazy? It's not hysteria, it's a plan"... Dare to ask Your Majesty, how does Your Majesty plan to build it? Yuan Chonghuan asked. Yuan Chonghuan didn't believe that the emperor was really crazy, and when he saw that the emperor was clear, he felt that the emperor must have his own thoughts, so he asked.
“… This, in fact, is also very simple, cement must be known to everyone, so it is naturally going to be ......built with cement," Yang Gengai said with a smile.
"Cement?" The ministers were shocked again, and then remembered that there is such a thing in this world.
“… Your Majesty, although the cement is good, it is no different from a rock after it dries, and it has never been used to build a monument dozens of feet high! Such a tall monument can't be built even if it's cement! If it is to be built, I am afraid that it will have to be layered up, not a monument."
Bi Ziyan said that when it comes to cement, everyone's first impression is the Yiren Pavilion in Liulizhai Guangchang, which is said to be very solid, but it is a house, and the house and the monument are two different things.
“… Your Majesty, if you build a sealing platform, this is relatively simple, and you don't even need cement, and you can seal the platform with a mound of soil, which has been done in ancient times, and it is not difficult, as long as there are many people, even if you want to raise a thirty-zhang sealing platform, it doesn't take too much time, this can be done, and besides, this sealing platform, in ancient times, is also used for sacrifice, if it is used for worship, it is just ......" Han Ba came out again and said. Build a sealing platform, this is relatively simple, there are records of building a sealing platform in ancient times, this has no technical content, as long as there are many people, it can always be up. …,
“… It's like the Long Live Mountain behind me? After listening to Han Ba's words, Yang Gai* first thought of Long Live Mountain, this Long Live Mountain is piled up with the mud of the Taiye Pool, but it is a bit of a "sealed platform" meaning, Yang Reform has not thought of this Long Live Mountain for a long time, and now he suddenly thinks of this Long Live Mountain, this hot summer, and it is a trembling......
"..............., no, no, absolutely not, you must not use a mound of soil to seal the platform, you can only use a stele..., you can only use a stele" Yang Reform did not wait for Han Ba to reply, and immediately vetoed the proposal to seal the platform with a mound of soil, and he finally gradually got rid of the fate of hanging Long Live Mountain, and now he has built a sealing platform, which is also too unlucky, Yang Reform's head, that is shaking like a drum. Yang Gengai wants a "high-tech" product, not an "antique".
Han Yi looked at the emperor shaking his head like a drum, and he was even more confused, what's wrong with the emperor today, do some inexplicable things......
"In this matter, I have my own plans, it may not be possible to build such a high monument with cement, but if I add steel and iron bones to it, I think this monument will definitely be built, and the monument can be built with cement, which can save the pain of digging the monument and the fatigue of transportation, thinking that this monument will definitely be built soon, maybe it will become a ...... in a year or two," Yang Reform said.
Several people were dumbfounded. The emperor really dares to do it! Dare to use cement to build a monument as high as dozens of zhang, the emperor went crazy.
"..............., in this matter, I have made up my mind, this monument must be built, and it must be taller than the monument excavated by my ancestors, so that I can show my sincerity, and I can also show my might, and I can also show the strength of my Ming Dynasty, and I can also show the greatness of my China..."
Yang Reform said in an unquestionable tone, Yang Reform is still confident in building this monument, cement has appeared, and cement construction has finished products, using cement to build a building is not a new thing, although the steel bar is more difficult to nòng, can be the smelting level of the Ming Dynasty, it is not impossible. The Yongle bell in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty is more than seven meters high, which is poured and formed at one time, weighing more than 40 tons.
Being able to shape and pour such a large bell at one time shows the metallurgical level. Yang reform is now more than a vigorous force, with the exhaustive method of steelmaking, the level of metallurgy, is advancing by leaps and bounds, to make a ten-meter-long "steel bar" is not difficult, with steel bars, plus cement, this steel bar is not concrete? With reinforced concrete, it is not impossible to make a tower of 70 meters.
Although the construction of this tower must be expensive, Yang is willing to try, willing to use money to promote the progress of "heavy industries" such as steel and cement.
Once this monument is built, it is the "Tower of Babel" of the Ming Dynasty, which is definitely a great spectacle of the Ming Dynasty, which is absolutely of great help to enhance the pride of the country and enhance the sense of national identity. In the seventeenth century, anyone who walked under a man-made structure seventy or eighty meters high would have to be shocked, it was too high. According to Yang Reform's thoughts, when electricity is invented in the future, a few big electric lights will be nòng on it, and at night, he will be energized, which is definitely a proper "glorious version of Babel Tower" This effect can definitely shock all people in this world, this is definitely a miracle of this era, and it is definitely more Buddha Light Pagoda than the Buddha Light Pagoda in "Journey to the West". Yang Gai believes that anyone who sees this building must prostrate under his feet, which is of great help to conquer foreign races, as long as those barbarians who have not seen the world are led to the "Tower of Babel" to see, this is definitely a proper requirement to be attached, and it is definitely a proper requirement to be a Chinese. …,
Shi Fenglai, Han Bai and a few people were dumbfounded, the emperor was determined to make it, could it really be that the emperor was so nonsense? But is the emperor really coming to Hu Lai? Can this cement and reinforced iron really build such a tall building? They weren't sure about it, and it was beyond their comprehension.
Is it to persuade the emperor not to do it, or to support the emperor? These people are confused, they can all be regarded as the emperor's henchmen, and it stands to reason that they all have to support the emperor, but now this matter is really difficult to decide.
"You may wish to think about it, once the tower of thirty zhang is built, it can be called the "Tower of Babel" my people of the Ming Dynasty see this tower, they must be happy to surrender, they must be more identified with their own people of the Ming Dynasty, and they must be more identified with their descendants of China. Yang Gai was immersed in the joy of the "Tower of Babel" and enlightened his henchmen.
Several of Yang Reform's henchmen were still looking at Yang Reform dumbfounded, their emperor and what they thought were definitely not the same thing, they would always have an insurmountable gap with their own emperor.
"This matter, there is no need to keep it secret, you go back, immediately publicize this matter, the more lively the publicity, the better, be sure to explain the pros and cons of this, and explain the reasons why it must be built......
Yang Gai said.
Shi Fenglai and Han Bai walked out in a daze, as for how they got out, no one remembers.
Yang Reform went out after everyone went out, and immediately said on behalf of Wang Chengen: "Big companion, immediately summon Sun Yuanhua into Beijing, let him come as quickly as possible, I will count on him this time...... "Just...
Cai's heart has passed, Yang Reform should face the reality, this "Babel Tower" has been completed, it is indeed a great building, but how to build it, this is definitely a big problem.
Although it is difficult, I can think that once it is completed, the harvest in this matter ......, Yang Reform is ambitious again, and his heart is beating wildly.
