Chapter 356: To Each His Own Mind

The map is forbidden, and no one can hide it privately except the emperor, and violators will be punished according to the conspiracy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut to install a heating system in the whole city, without a map of the capital, there is no way to even plan, let alone install?

Usually, the whole picture of the capital is rolled into a scroll very casually, and it is placed in the scroll tank together with other calligraphy and paintings. If Liu Xun was a mediocre emperor, Cheng Mo would definitely take advantage of the audience to take the sheep and take the matter, but unfortunately Liu Xun was forbearant and smart, obviously a wolf, he had to pretend to be a little white rabbit, he knew everything, and pretended not to understand anything. It's not easy to fool.

Cheng Mo did not hesitate, and said directly: "The craftsman has been preliminarily in place, and the donation is also in progress, but the minister does not have a map of the capital and cannot make a pipeline laying plan, so I want to ask Your Majesty to borrow a map for reference." ”

It was the first time Liu Xun had heard the word map, and he wondered: "What is a map?" ”

Cheng Mo didn't explain, got up and pulled out a scroll from the scroll jar, and opened it, it was the whole map of the capital, Weiyang Palace, Beique, residences, and defense were all clearly marked.

"So this is the map?" Liu asked: "Isn't this a map?" ”

After he succeeded to the throne and moved into the Xuanshu Palace, he soon found two Kanyu maps in the volume cylinder, one for the whole country and one for the capital, usually he never looked at these two pictures at a glance, after the palace door was locked, but often sent Xiao Luzi and other internal servants, opened these two pictures alone, and watched them for a long time.

Cheng Mo said: "Exactly." The minister wants to know the layout of the street, so he can bury the pipeline in the streets and alleys. ”

Heating the whole city is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, not to mention the cost and effort, and it is not pleasing to mention, but if it is done, it is a great merit. If Liu Xun hadn't personally experienced the safety and comfort brought by this set of equipment, he would definitely think that Cheng Mo had ulterior motives, but now he would not have such thoughts.

He instructed Xiao Luzi: "Bring a white silk horse." ”

Xiao Luzi replied respectfully: "No." He quickly brought in a handkerchief.

Liu inquired: "The rules in the palace, you can't leave the palace, and the eldest brother is the one." ”

Cheng Mo used the white silk he had just brought to expand a picture, and Xiao Luzi's face on the side changed, and his lips buzzed several times, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, please scribble the things that shouldn't be marked." Cheng Mo unfolded the rubbing and asked Liu.

It's better not to know some things than to know, and the defense of the capital is not under his control, so don't know too much.

Liu Xun asked him to expand, and when he really expanded, he was worried in his heart, knowing people and faces, but not knowing his heart, who knows if Cheng Mo will rebel after a few decades? It's not good for this thing to stay in his hands, but he just let the family expand it magnificently, and now it's not good for the family to paint something, right?

Hearing Cheng Mo say this, a smile overflowed from his eyes, and he said, "Okay." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, each understanding the other's thoughts. Cheng Mo was afraid that keeping this thing would make Liu Xun suspicious, and Liu Xun was afraid that this thing would change in the future if it was in Cheng Mo's hands. Now one shows loyalty, the other shows leniency, and each takes what he needs.

Cheng Mo spread out on the big desk, and the map that he planned with Wukong was no longer from the palace, but a new one, there was nothing that should not exist, and there was no trace of Liu Xun's imperial pen.

There are a total of 12 gates in the capital, three on each side, and each gate has three doorways, each of which is about eight meters wide, which is equivalent to the width of four rails.

Of the twelve gates, in addition to the four gates opposite the Miyagi gate, the remaining eight gates were each connected to a main street in the city, and the streets were straight and wide.

These eight streets, the embedded pipes, the diameter is the largest, in each square to leave an interface, the pipeline to the square is smaller, the pipeline to the people's homes is smaller. In this way, there are three sizes of pipes.

Cheng Mo pointed to the eight straight streets and said, "When you make a plan, you must think about how to bury it." ”

It's easy to dig up the pavement, how to backfill? If you are not careful, being impeached is still a trivial matter, making the road potholes, Liu Xun traveled, and the imperial chariot walked on it, turning him upside down, but he would lose his head.

Wu Kong understood, and said: "Recruit the people to backfill the excavated road surface by building the foundation of the palace, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

How was the foundation of Weiyang Palace built? Recruit a large number of people, and use large sandbags to continuously tamp the foundation to reach a certain hardness.

Looking at the strength of the loess road, this is the only way to do it, but in this way, the cost will be greatly increased. Cheng Mo said: "There must be a plan for how many people to collect, how long it takes, and how much silver taels are lost." ”

Don't think it's a play.

Wu Kong responded, feeling more and more heavy on his shoulders, and said, "General Huo can allow us to dig up the road?" ”

Without his consent, this road would not have been dug up.

Cheng Mo said: "You don't have to worry about this, just leave it to me." ”

Wu Kong didn't say much more.

That morning, Cheng Mo asked Huo Guang not to come to the stage, the courtiers speculated all kinds of things, racking their brains to see something from it, and some were even ready to stand in line, such as Fu Yi and others, and thought that something big would happen, Huo Guang would not clean up Cheng Mo, and he would also anger the people who followed Cheng Mo. But several days passed, Huo Guang went to the court to discuss matters as always, and the next court criticized and folded; Cheng Mo, as always, arranged the defense of the palace and was busy with the heating system.

By the time the more clever courtiers found out that there was nothing going on, and they really thought too much, half a month had passed.

That afternoon, Cheng Mo, like all husbands, accompanied his wife Huo Shuhan back to his parents' home.

Huo Xian enthusiastically asked Cheng Mo what he liked to eat, and said, "There is a new cook, and the dried meat is very delicious, if you like it, you will bring some back later." ”

Cheng Mo was surprised. Huo Xian always felt that he was not the emperor, and he wronged Huo Shuhan, and he had the intention of marrying her daughter to usurp the throne and become the emperor on her own, so he almost announced it. He has been in the house many times, she is always cold and indifferent, when will she care about what he eats? I won't even name him to give him anything.

Huo Shuhan understood that since Cheng Mo persuaded his parents to reconcile, his mother immediately changed her opinion of Cheng Mo, the corners of her mouth were raised high, and she said: "Mother doesn't know, Wulang likes to eat fresh meat, not dried meat." He said that the dried meat was pickled, not fresh. ”

While speaking, Miao Mu glanced at Cheng Mo, and the charm was full, Cheng Mo's heart fluttered, and he grinned at her.

"Love fresh meat? What's so good about fresh meat? Huo Xian showed the domineering nature of the first lady, let people put preserved venison, sandwiched a piece of ink plate, and said: "You taste, the chef in the palace made it, it is very delicious." ”

Xu Pingjun was pregnant, she went to the palace to visit according to the courtesy, Xu Pingjun left her to eat, she ate it and felt that the dried meat was good, so she brought the imperial kitchen back.

The meat is sandwiched into the plate, can Cheng Mo not eat it? He took a bite and nodded, "It tastes really good." ”

"Eat more, then." Huo Xian sandwiched three or four pieces one after another and put them on the plate in front of Cheng Mo.
