Chapter 547: Sycophancy
"Shelter from water, and also enough for many people to live in the same building......"
Li Xingchen roughly talked about the situation.
The prime minister and other ministers were very confused after hearing this, there is still this kind of house in this world?
What is it built on? Is it firm?
They have a lot of questions, and they ask them at the same time.
They have never heard of high-rise buildings, and they think that they are taller houses, which are not suitable for living in, and are more suitable for open viewing.
Because this kind of house is not windproof and waterproof, the wind and rain are a little stronger, and it may collapse directly.
And they haven't seen the magic of bricks, they only know that Li Xingchen has set up a brick factory.
"If you build it with bricks, it can perfectly solve the problems of current housing. I decided to build a five-story building first. ”
Li Xingchen explained as much as he could, but unfortunately the real thing was not in front of him, and it was impossible for them to fully understand it, after all, they did not understand the construction mode of modern buildings.
But if you don't explain it to them, they will definitely think that they are crazy, and they will not agree to build such a tall building, how dangerous it is.
"How tall is five floors?" The prime minister's eyes were about to pop out, and it was difficult to accept for a while that Li Xingchen would say that he would build a five-story building.
Li Xingchen thought for a while, "Less than thirty meters, if the first floor is four meters, the fifth floor is twenty meters, but the top floor may be higher, the overall is about twenty meters." ”
The prime minister gasped when he heard this, "More than 20 meters...... Your Majesty, you are crazy, if you live on the upper floor, how dangerous it is, if it collapses, you will fall to death, and the bricks are strong. ”
One by one, the Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs raised his own questions.
It's not that they haven't thought about building high-rise buildings, but it's unrealistic to build them with wood and thatch, and the idea is fantastical.
And even if you can build it so high with wood, you have to consider whether people can live on it.
It is made alone, but it can only be used for Micron, not for living at all!
Li Xingchen smiled, "Don't be surprised, in addition to bricks, you also need steel bars." ”
They didn't know what steel was, but when they thought about it, they generally understood that it was hard iron!
The iron-making technology of the Great Wei Dynasty is very mature, and the current swords, guns, swords, and halberds are all made of iron, not only that, but rare metals are also added to it to make it stronger.
Therefore, it is very feasible to use iron instead of steel bar, and with the cement and sand combined, it is not a problem to build a house, and five floors are more than enough.
Although there is no cement in the Great Wei Dynasty, it can be replaced by stone mud, such as the paved roads of the main streets of the capital, which are made of stone mud.
"Is this possible?"
The ministers looked at each other, out of trust in Li Xingchen, they felt that it was okay, but in the final analysis, they felt that it was not possible.
Before Li Xingchen brought up many things, everyone thought it was a fantasy at first, but there was no problem with the actual implementation.
For example, there are many traffic lights, clocks, electric bicycles, tricycles, and so on.
Sometimes the Ministry of Industry Shangshu thinks that their Ministry of Industry should be the one who invented these things, and it turns out that they were all invented by Li Xingchen. So what is the meaning of the existence of their Ministry of Industry?
After thinking about it, I felt that His Majesty was the true son of the dragon, and he could always put forward ideas that he had never heard of or seen, he must have come from heaven, where could they be compared to ordinary people?
"Alright, that's all for today's meeting, you just do what I tell you to do."
Li Xingchen waved his hand, what should have been told to them had already been told to them.
The next direction of research should be figured out by themselves.
There is a lot of power, he is the emperor, he only needs to control the key links, and other things need to be done by the people under him, such as details.
After that, the prime minister and others asked about the concept of the community, what things are used in it, how to use and build it, and whether there are any alternative requirements.
After asking about the details, he left the imperial study and went to the Ministry of Works to continue the discussion.
A few days later, the prime minister and others came to the imperial study again and told Li Xingchen the results of the discussion in the past few days.
It's a pity that Li Xingchen is very disgusted and thinks it's not feasible.
Not only that, but he also scolded them.
In the end, there was no way, Li Xingchen ordered someone to invite some craftsmen with considerable prestige among the people.
Following the pattern of later houses, he built a wall himself, and asked the craftsmen to continue to build it in his image.
Seeing that their craftsmanship is very good, Li Xingchen began to teach the foundation how to dig, how deep to dig, and how to use steel bars.
It took a long time to teach the craftsmen to basically learn.
The civil and military ministers on the side were dumbfounded, how could the leaders who have been in high positions all the year round know how the houses were built?
Not to mention the new type of community, they can't build thatched houses.
"Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven!"
Li Xingchen, as soon as he finished the work at hand, the prime minister and others immediately surrounded him and patted him.
It's not okay if you don't make a fool of yourself, you have to eat together, after all, it is a fact that they didn't do what Li Xingchen told them.
Not to mention that it was not done, and it was scolded.
"Alright." Li Xingchen waved his hand, "Don't be a sycophant." ”
He didn't blame them entirely, these ministers had no worries about food and clothing since they were born, they had never touched the life of the lower class, and it was normal that they could not build houses.
The basic techniques are almost taught, and the rest is the problem of building areas.
The first batch of community houses must be built in the capital first, and under the nose, good control is one of them.
The second is to do a pilot.
However, the capital is almost overcrowded, and there is no empty space to build a community.
He also considered the issue of expropriation, such as finding people in an area, asking them to move to other places to live first, demolishing this area, and after building a community, giving them a free floor of housing.
However, he felt that the people with simple customs had a strong sense of territory about their homes, and they should not be willing.
In addition, the community has not been built, how do they know if it is good or not? What if the court cheats people?
Li Xingchen had a little headache, and ordered the prime minister and others to discuss countermeasures again, and they had to find a good place.
Now that it has been established that the community housing will be built, it will definitely be implemented.
The bricks are all being built in full swing, everything is in order, how can it not be built because there is no place?
Li Xingchen transferred a detailed map of the capital, this map records all the places in the capital in detail, and it can be said that it is the most complete regional map of the current Great Wei, and only the royal family will have this kind of map, and only Li Xingchen is qualified to see this kind of map.
If such a map fell into the wrong hands, it would be a devastating disaster.
There are a total of 88 squares in the capital, the layout is different, according to the current planning and feng shui and other issues, the best place to build is near the third square.
