Chapter 26 The Ministry of Cutting Beard

"Your Highness, please see, this is the location of Qingling."

"It is located in the northwest of the Changling Tomb of Emperor Chengzu, about one mile northwest of the Tomb of Emperor Renzong, and is hidden in the southern foot of the Erling of Huangshan Temple in the Tianshou Mountain Mausoleum in Changping."

"Because it was the imperial tomb of Emperor Jing before, although it has been abandoned for more than 160 years, the underground environment is still good, and there is no water accumulation or leakage."

In the courtyard of the imperial mausoleum repair of the Ministry of Industry, the director of the Ministry of Industry pointed to something similar to a sand table to explain to Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen stood aside and listened carefully.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen didn't have anything to ask, the director of the Ministry of Engineering could only introduce:

"According to the same principle of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry, the main palace room underground can be cleaned and repaired first, and it is estimated that it will only take 20 days to repair and complete the main palace room."

"At that time, the emperor can bury the main palace first, and the other palaces will be slowly repaired."

"The overall layout of the mausoleum building is in the shape of a circle in front and back, covering an area of about 42 acres, and the scale is relatively small."

"The cemetery of Qingling, under the assumption of the Ministry of Industry, will be composed of three parts: Shinto, the mausoleum and the annex outside the mausoleum."

"A single empty stone bridge is built on the Shinto, and the sacred stele pavilion is built near the mausoleum, and the stele is erected in the pavilion, and the turtle falls down, and the inscription is made by long live."

"In order to conform to the terrain, the Ministry of Engineering will make a drainage river between the treasure top of Fangcheng and the Qi'en Palace, and there are two divine silk furnaces."

"In addition, the circular treasure city was repaired after the square courtyard, and a square city platform was built at the entrance of the treasure city, and a heavy eaves rested on the top of the mountain was built on the city platform."

The building will erect a holy name tablet, engraved with "the tomb of Emperor Zongzhen of the Ming Dynasty".

"After the Ming Tower, the treasure city is filled with loess, the central rammed upper small and the big cylindrical body is the treasure top, the bottom is seven zhang deep, the retaining wall in front of the mound is the same height as the treasure city wall, and the Baocheng city platform and the walls on both sides enclose a plane close to the crescent-shaped courtyard."

"There are wall-mounted glazed walls in this courtyard, and eventually some buildings such as the slaughtering pavilion, the divine kitchen, the divine treasury, the ancestral sacrifice office, the divine palace supervisor, the court house, the orchard, the hazel factory, the divine horse room and other places will be built."

"According to the budget of the Ministry of Industry, with the speed of mobilizing 50,000 people, it should be possible to close the Longmen (Tomb Gate) in January of the next year."

"If 50,000 people are used to build the above-ground buildings, it is expected to be completed in 17 months after the closure of the Dragon Gate."

"However, if the imperial court lacks financial resources, it can be repaired slowly with a thousand craftsmen, but it will take six years and seven months to complete the repair."

"The repair of the entire imperial tomb is estimated to cost 1.5 million taels of silver, 30,000 yuan of wood, 170,000 yuan of stone, and all kinds of things, all the silver is used on the blade."

The words of the director of the Ministry of Industry almost said that the imperial tomb was a flower, but when he turned his head to look, he found that Zhu Youzhen directly picked up the imperial mausoleum materials of the Ministry of Industry and looked through it page by page.

Although he knew that Zhu Youzhen might not be able to understand, the director of the Ministry of Engineering was still a little nervous.

It's Zhu Youzhen, although he is busy with the state funeral that day, it's not that he hasn't done anything.

At least, he learned about a basic price in Beizhili through some Nanzhen Fusi Jinyiwei.

Therefore, as soon as he saw the document of the imperial tomb of the Ministry of Industry, the corners of his mouth instantly outlined a smile.

All these materials are more expensive than the price of private materials, and some of the wages and food prices of the people are also at a premium.

This miscellaneous premium does not seem to be much, but together, it is still easy to be greedy for more than ten or two hundred thousand taels.

Because of this, Zhu Youzhen laughed, and he laughed because the directory of the Ministry of Industry gave him a chance to make money in disguise.

"Not bad!"

Zhu Youzhen suddenly said: "The price of materials and wages are not too big a problem. ”

"Since this is the case, then Gu will take these things away, and in the near future, the people of Nanzhen Fusi will bring the craftsmen of the martial arts three guards to the imperial tomb, as for the people, they don't need to, just use the four guards and one battalion of the imperial horse supervisor and the three guards of the feather forest!"

"Uh...... Yes? The director of the Ministry of Engineering was stunned by Zhu Youzhen's disobedience, and hurriedly said eagerly:

"This, this, this...... Your Highness Five, repairing the Emperor's Mausoleum is a matter for the Ministry of Industry, you are just ......"

The director of the Ministry of Industry wanted to say that Zhu Youzhen was just supervising, but he never thought that Zhu Youzhen directly interrupted him and responded:

"Yes, although it is supervision, the Ministry of Industry has been very busy recently, and in order to lighten the burden of the Ministry of Industry, the repair of the Emperor's Mausoleum will be handed over to Lonely."

"Cheng'en!" Zhu Youzhen suddenly shouted to Wang Chengen next to him.

"Your Highness, the slave and maid are here." Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Bring these things back to the Qinqin Palace, and take the materials and construction drawings of the Ministry of Industry to the Qianqing Palace to show the imperial brother."

"In addition, I asked Lu Wenzhao to get ready, and tomorrow I will take the people of Nanzhen Fusi to bring the whole family of the craftsmen of the martial arts three guards to the foot of Qingling Mountain."

"Let Cao Huachun take the soldiers of the Fourth Guard Battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor to the foot of Qingling Mountain tomorrow, first build a military camp where the soldiers built Qingling, and then call Yulin Sanwei to go to the foot of Qingling Mountain."

"After the national funeral, I will go to Qingling in person, and if Qingling is not repaired for a day, I will live in Qingling and guard filial piety for the imperial brother!"

Zhu Youzhen was able to even tell the matter of keeping filial piety, which really surprised the director of the Ministry of Works, but he didn't expect him to be young and so thoughtful.

Yes, if you live at the foot of Qingling Mountain in the name of filial piety, there are also craftsmen and soldiers with four guards and one battalion, three guards in Yulin, and three guards of martial arts.

The Ministry of Industry doesn't need to go to anyone directly, and Zhu Youzhen can handle the construction of the emperor's mausoleum alone.

"Your Highness can't, Your Highness ......"

"Let's go." Zhu Youzhen didn't listen to the wail of the head of the Ministry of Works, and went directly to the Ministry of Industry with all his things.

At this time, the Ministry of Works, who had been observing in the dark, hurriedly went to inform Wang Zuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

By the time Wang Zuo got the news and rushed over, Zhu Youzhen had already loaded the things into the car and was ready to pack them and take them away.

"Your Highness! No, Your Highness! ”

Wang Zuo ran out with his official robe, and Zhu Youzhen saw this and hurriedly beckoned Wang Chengen to leave.

"Drive!"

Wang Chengen waved the reins, and the carriage immediately rushed towards the imperial city.

"Your Highness!"

"Wang Shangshu, please stop!"

Wang Zuo wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the brocade guards of Nanzhen Fusi, and even if he stomped his feet in anger at this moment, he couldn't catch up with Zhu Youzhen.

The Ministry of Works, which was already about to eat the benefits in his mouth, was robbed by Zhu Youzhen in this way.

Who would have thought that this ten-year-old yellow-mouthed child could do such a shameless thing?

A group of officials of the Ministry of Industry were so angry that they wanted to curse, but the strength of the Ministry of Industry was not good, and they were not as good as the waist pole of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War, so they could only sigh and return to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

It was Zhu Youzhen, who sat in the carriage and looked at the materials and documents, and hummed a little song proudly.

With the sound of the song, he led the people back to the imperial city.
