Chapter 737: Who Should Go to the Monument
The topic soon came to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
The Ministry of Industry is very serious and responsible to explain. At present, Daming can still build a building twenty or thirty zhang high, as for whether it is a maid or a tower, that is another matter.
"Your Majesty Xie praised,...... However, Your Majesty, this Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a tower, and Your Majesty wants to build a maid, these two are completely different things, Your Majesty, it may be easy to build a tower, but to build a maid, the minister thinks, it is difficult, I am afraid that it is not so easy to build,...... "The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said.
"That's right, the maid is the maid, the tower is the tower, there is indeed a difference between the two, the Ministry of Engineering, the problem of building the tower is not big, what about the maid?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if it is said that the maid is built, and it is a whole stone to build the maid, it will not be successful, such as the Yangshan maid material, just excavation, it will take several years, and it can not be transported down the mountain, let alone transported to the capital, not to mention the tower of thirty zhang high, even if it is reduced several times, build a tower of five or six zhang high, the stone of the maid body, it is not easy to collect, and ......it cannot be built at all, if the maid is built with bricks and stones, then the maid is actually not much different from the tower, but the appearance is different. There is still a big difference between this thing and a whole stone man......" said the Ministry of Works.
The difference between the maid and the tower, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu also said. Unlike the maid, the tower can be built with bricks and stones, that is, it can be stacked piece by piece, and the structure can be emphasized.
"Well, it makes sense, there is indeed a big difference between this maid and the tower, this maid pays attention to the whole thing, and this tower does not pay attention to it...... And is indeed a problem......" Yang reformed pretended to groan.
“… Since it is impossible to build such a tall maid out of a single stone, it is too small and meaningless...... If such a whole piece of maid is poured with cement, what does the Qing family think? Is it possible? Yang Gengai asked again.
"Returning to Your Majesty" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was immediately embarrassed, and he also stayed up all night for this matter. It stands to reason that to repair the maid, you should use the whole stone to do, but this is obviously not possible, the emperor wants to repair such a high maid, how tall and how big is this stone? It's bigger than the Yangshan maid material, how can this be transported? It's simply an impossible task. And with fragments of masonry to build, obviously and the definition of a maid is far from the definition of a maid, if you use bricks and stone little by little to build, build a thirty zhang high building, there is no problem, if you use cement, thirty zhang is not difficult.
The problem lies in the fact that the maid here pays attention to a whole, and the tower does not pay attention to: the emperor wants to build a thirty zhang maid, which is the Tower of Babel, towering into the clouds, but not a few zhang high short building Obviously, if it is made of natural stone, it will definitely not be able to build the thirty zhang high maid required by the emperor. Build a tower, which is obviously far from the "maid".
“… Do you use cement to pour "the Ministry of Industry is also not sure, cement is still a new thing, not long after it comes out, for whether it can be poured out of a complete piece of cement, do not need to build a "maid" Ministry of Industry is also not accurate, it stands to reason that this is different from the "natural maid material", but after the cement is dry, the tower is indeed a whole, it has indeed become a whole "stone", if it is said that the requirements of building a whole stone are also so-so, they can get by.
Yang Gengai smiled, for the use of cement to build a memorial maid, and build it unusually tall, which is to do this when cement was just born, if in the twentieth century, cement has become a common building material, it is no problem to repair an ordinary memorial maid, but if it is to repair this kind of national level memorial maid, it will be out of the world, then it will be out of class, not dignified. That is, now that cement has just come out, everyone has not yet had a specific and detailed definition of what cement is, so it is up to Yang to reform and toss. …,
What Yang Reform wants now is not to build a few zhang high maid, Yang Reform wants to open up the beaver and expand the soil, the inner lake of the Pacific Ocean, and what he needs is such a "miracle" building that can deter "foreigners": what he needs is such a "miracle" building that can shock the people of his country and unite the hearts of his own people: what he needs is a "miracle" building that carries people's hopes and inheritance. Naturally, it is necessary to build extremely tall and can be built to "convince people", which will definitely have considerable benefits for future expansion.
Although Yang Reform is now taking the road of hegemony, ready to use iron and blood to expand and colonize, but the Ming Dynasty has always been a "tribute" system is not useless, can make the colonized places automatically attached to the Ming Dynasty through the way of "prestige", Yang Reform will not blindly use force, so this "miracle" style of architecture is very necessary. Obviously, it is impossible to "convince people" of a few zhang high things or to get on this kind of "Babel Tower", as for whether this cement can be repaired, this, there is no specific and clear definition, Yang Reform has taken advantage of a lot of loopholes. Anyway, this cement was also made by Yang Reform himself, and it was not Yang Reform who said it himself.
Only ,........., this ......, this, back to Your Majesty, the minister can't say it's good, there has never been such a thing as cement before, can it be used to repair the maid, the minister can't say it..."The Ministry of Industry Shangshu is really embarrassed, and he can't get an idea, so he has to say so.
Yang Gai smiled and said in his heart: I know you can't get it accurately.
"Since the Ministry of Industry is not sure, then the secretary of the family can talk about it, can it be done? What is the rationale? Yang Gengai asked with a smile.
When the ministers heard this, they all began to talk about it. [Or a few words of gong and instigation, the building of twenty or thirty zhang is really no pressure to build for the Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of technologies in ancient China, including construction technology, are actually very good. 】
"Your Majesty, since this maid is not easy to build, it is better to build a tower, this tower is easy to build"
Immediately a minister said.
"Your Majesty, since you can't build a maid, the minister thinks, don't build it, Your Majesty built this maid to commemorate the inheritance of Huaxia and the continuation of Huaxia, such a heavy thing, what is it to build a tower?" "There are also ministers who oppose it.
Ministers spoke one after another.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it can be built, with a whole stone to build a maid, this is too difficult, to build a "Babel Tower", this is simply impossible, if Your Majesty insists on building this kind of maid, it is really a waste of money,...... Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to build a tower with bricks and stones, although it was not as majestic as building a tower with a whole stone, but it was not bad, if such a tall tower could be built,...... The title of the wild goose pagoda can be regarded as a good story in our dynasty......" said a minister, leaving aside the matter of cement tower repair. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the inscription of the pagoda and the wild goose pagoda were linked.
The Chinese commemorative maid and the inscription of the Wild Goose Pagoda were linked, and the topic changed again, and they argued about this matter one after another.
“… Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate, although the title of this wild goose pagoda is elegant, how can it be compared with the Chinese commemorative maid? The Chinese memorial maid is to commemorate the people who have contributed to the continuation of my China, who is qualified to inscribe on it? Who is eligible to leave a name on it? Immediately, another person raised a question, and told the difference between the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and this memorial maid.
"It's Your Majesty, and the ministers also think it's inappropriate" The number of people arguing immediately increased.
“… Your Majesty, since this is a Chinese memorial service, and the commemoration is for those who have contributed to the continuation of China, and they are worshiped by all the people of the world, who is eligible to accept the worship? The minister thought that the Chinese commemorative maid and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda should not be confused, this maid is definitely not a place where the wind huā snow moon and the wind and elegance are talked about...... Inappropriate...... No, what can be recorded on this Chinese memorial maid must be a person who has made great contributions to the continuation and development of our Huaxia, and it is impossible for anyone to write on the memorial maid" Immediately someone argued, pulling this topic to the question of who is qualified to leave a text on the memorial maid and who is qualified to commemorate the maid. This is actually the "relief" problem prepared by Yang for reform. …,
Yang Gengai wanted to laugh when he heard it, as soon as this question came out, everyone still had to break their heads for who could go to the memorial maid? If there are a few more "reliefs" on this commemorative maid, there are still more people who can go on it, and they can also share the profits, if there are fewer "reliefs", then a few pieces are not enough, Yang Reform knows that he will definitely break his head.
"Well, it makes sense, this matter is indeed a very serious matter, this Chinese commemorative maid is to commemorate the people who have contributed to the continuation of China, so this commemorative maid on the text or recorded must be a historical event that represents the major relationship of xing, and it must be a major event that has a role in the continuation of my China. What is worthy of being commemorated? Yang Reform said with a smile, this building is crooked, Yang Reform wants to laugh.
As soon as the problem came out this afternoon, the court immediately quarreled.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the saint must be on the ...... to commemorate the maid," someone was the first to call out the name of the saint.
"It makes sense, it makes sense" Yang Reform listened, and immediately nodded in praise, what he was afraid of was not the question of who was on the servant, but the fear that others would not discuss this issue. At this point in the discussion, in fact, this maid has become a must-build. Naturally, Yang was full of joy in favor of reform.
This is not too controversial, no matter what, Sage Kong is a master who cannot be left out in the Ming Dynasty, and good things can be touched.
As soon as this topic opened, this Wenhua Hall immediately quarreled, and many ministers were still strange, whether this should be built or not has not been discussed, why did you talk about who is on the maid, and you are still fighting so fiercely?
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that I am the Ming Taizu" Another minister shouted, to send the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to the same place, this is not controversial, no matter what, everyone is now an official in the Ming Dynasty, do not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha.
"Hmm......" Yang Gengai nodded again.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty can also do it" This minister wanted to get the emperor to go to the maid, maybe his head was hot, and he felt it, and then he thought that the emperor was still alive, and it was the matter of worshipping the living that he came up with the matter of repairing the memorial maid, and now he wanted to send the emperor to the memorial maid, which was also too unlucky, so he shut up at the moment and swallowed half of the words he said, but fortunately it was lively in the hall, and no one paid attention to him.
"Your Majesty, since it is a Chinese commemorative maid, how can this Yan and Huang Emperors not be reasonable? This is the ancestor of Huaxia......" someone said immediately.
The argument has come to this point, and the two emperors of Yan and Huang have been indisputably "servant" again.
"Your Majesty, since the two emperors of Yan and Huang should be on the throne, how can the three emperors and five emperors of the ancient times not be justified?
Someone else proposed, speaking of which, this Yan and Huang Emperor is also one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and the Yan and Huang Emperors are considered to be the ancestors of Chinese humanities, so several other people should also be on it.
"This should be up, this should be on ......" Yang Reform heard someone say that the three emperors and five emperors should be on the "maid" and immediately shouted loudly, Yang Reform waited for a long time for this sentence.
These are not controversial, they should all be on the go, but then, the controversy is big.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that my Ming people have always been called the Han people, and this inheritance also started in the Han Dynasty, and it has been at least one or two thousand years.
When this proposal is said, no one objected, and the Han people's statement is not a day or two, and the Han Dynasty maid can be said, otherwise, wouldn't the origin of this Han person have no source?
"Well, it also makes sense, this Han Dynasty should indeed be a maid, but who should be a maid? Or what event is more special, it is worth saying, there is a representative xing? Yang Reform also affirmed the statement of the Han Dynasty's maid. …,
It doesn't matter if Yang reforms the same, but it has caused a lot of trouble.
Only ,.........,Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is Han Gaozu who beheaded the white snake......"
"How do you kill the white snake? Naturally, it was the most important thing when the Han Dynasty opened the country, and it should be the ......... to be the servant of this matter."
“… Your Majesty, it's not right, when Han Gaozu founded the country, the Han Dynasty was very poor, and it was also after the rule of Wenjing, the Han Dynasty gradually had a sè, speaking of the Han Dynasty, if it is the most memorable, since it should be the wolf Juxu, the minister thinks that this matter should be discussed very fiercely.
“… It's good to seal the wolf Juxu, but that Huo Qubing is just a courtier, how can he surpass the emperor as a courtier? Do you want the title of a king? Isn't this a situation of being trapped in disloyalty and unfilial piety? Immediately, a minister came out to refute it.
Yang Reform listened to that Khan, this topic became more and more lively, beyond his expectations. I just guided the topic a little, and this topic is so hot.
After several confrontations between the ministers, the final result was that the Han Dynasty should be on the line, and Huo Qubing should also be on the job, but no matter how you get it, you have to get Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty up, otherwise the king is not a king, the minister is not a minister, and it is not good to have no unity.
Yang Gengai saw that his goal had been basically achieved, so he didn't have the heart to care about who and what to do. What Yang Reform values and pays the most attention to is actually the maid of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors. These three emperors and five emperors have become servants, and the purpose of Yang's reform has been achieved, and there is nothing else to ask about.! ……,
