Chapter Seventy-Nine: Meng Kui and Li Jie
Wen Fei said: "Yes, it's cement." It was the secret method of my immortal family, and it strengthened the iron stone. Not only can I repair this Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, it is the wall of this Tokyo City, although it is majestic, it is also built of rammed earth, and we will replace him with stone in the future!"
Wen Fei said in his heart, Dao Ye will make the walls of Tokyo City into reinforced concrete in the future, even if the Anxin Jurchens call over, it will only be unearthed under the city, which can be regarded as a good thing I did for the Great Song Dynasty!
Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, and the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were very insecure. It is also the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom that divide Hebei. There is no danger to defend along the way, Henan and Hebei are all flat rivers, and hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen in Liao can kill all the way to this Tokyo city without any obstacles. This is also one of the reasons why the Jurchens destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty so easily in the future.
In fact, this Tokyo Castle is a prosperous place, but it is definitely not a good place to be the capital of a country. Even although Song Taizu built the capital here, he couldn't sleep at ease every day, and he always wanted to move the capital to Xi'an.
Although Zhao Ji was so happy, he was inevitably afraid that the Liaoguo Iron Horse would sweep straight down...... When he heard Wen Fei say that he could replace the walls of Tokyo City with stones, he was overjoyed. Holding Wen Fei's hand, he said to Wen Fei very affectionately: "Thank you so much Father Shang!"
Wen Fei was suddenly terrified, he had been in the Northern Song Dynasty for so long. Now that he has a high status, and there are eunuchs like Yang Jian who take refuge, he naturally knows some palace secrets. It seems that this Song Huizong and that Wang Huang have a relationship that is a little beyond ordinary people......
Wen Fei hurriedly shook off Zhao Ji's hand and said with a dry smile: "It's just a trivial matter." Although these things can be transported from the Heavenly Court. But after all, there are some difficulties. It can only be made in the mortal world. ”
Zhao Ji waved his hand very arrogantly: "How many craftsmen does Father Shang need, just say!"
What does it take to make cement? Wen Fei really couldn't say. But fortunately, Wen Fei has recorded a lot of recipes in his notebook that are inseparable from the crowd. For example, cement, glass, gunpowder, papermaking, printing, etc......
However, he Wen flew to the Northern Song Dynasty to be a god stick, but he did not come to open up the wisdom of the people and engage in technology diffusion. Therefore, Wen Fei naturally would not take it out casually. Cement is nothing more than a fine powder made of limestone, loess, iron ore in a certain proportion. It is then calcined at high temperature. If you pay attention to it, you should add a certain proportion of gypsum, slag, fly ash, etc. later. This simple cement is naturally not as good as the cement of later generations, but it should be enough.
These things were not difficult to get even in ancient times. In ancient times, building houses and the like was also inseparable from lime. There are many charcoal kilns for firing lime in Tokyo, and other waste materials are even easier.
Wen Fei didn't expect to build a high-rise building with several hundred floors, there was a few tens of meters high, and it was estimated that a few dozen meters would become the city of Tokyo, no, it was the tallest building in the entire Northern Song Dynasty and the whole world!
I have to say that Wen Fei was a little too optimistic. Don't say anything else, just say that it is the Kaifeng Iron Tower that has survived to future generations. That is, the iron tower of Kaibao Temple is more than 55 meters high.
As soon as Zhao Ji gave the order, he called the household servant Meng Kuo and the general supervisor Li Jie into the palace. Speaking of which, Meng Kui is the overseer of Gen Yue, and now that Gen Yue has stopped work, this guy is just sent to help Wen Fei.
The superintendent is also in charge of the palace, the city, the bridge, the boat and the car. These things really can't be done without being a prisoner!
This Meng Yuwen Fei still heard of it, last time he wanted to please his father. I bought a copy of "Tokyo Menghualu" for my father, which was written by Meng Yuanlao, and many people in later generations have always thought that the author of this book, Meng Yuanlao, is Meng Kui.
As for the prisoner Li Jie, Wen Fei is lonely and unheard of, and he has never heard of it. But I didn't know that this Li Jie was even more famous, and he once wrote and organized the compilation of one of the most complete books on architectural technology in ancient China, which became famous for future generations. Of course, in terms of Wen Fei's morality, it's normal that he hasn't heard of it!
Wen Fei originally thought about these ancient craftsmen, and their level may be very limited. How do you know that these two people are skilled craftsmen, such a famous person, for Wen Fei's explanation, he naturally understands what he has explained.
Li Jieyu smiled and said, "I don't know what Father Shang wants us to burn these things, what is the effect!"
Wen Fei said unashamedly: "Naturally, it is necessary to build the Shenxiao Heavenly Palace, although it is said that the ability of craftsmen in this mortal world is limited, but it is also necessary to build one-ten-thousandth of the real Heavenly Palace, which is enough to overwhelm all countries and become the first in the world!"
Zhao Ji was even more happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "If it is not magnificent, it is not mighty, and now my Great Song Dynasty is in the world of Fengheng and Yuda, and I am about to overwhelm the countries with such magnificence and show the grandeur of my brilliant Great Song Dynasty." ”
Meng Yu listened and said in embarrassment: "Every inch of land in Tokyo is expensive, where did the land come from to build such a magnificent building!"
Wen Fei said: "Didn't Genyue stop, I think it's good to build it there!"
Song Huizong was suddenly embarrassed, although this Gen Yue had stopped working, he was a little reluctant, and he was still counting on resuming work in the future.
Wen Fei waved his hand: "That's it, what's so nice about that man-made rockery." When you're free, I'll take you to see the real landscapes and ......."
Cai Jing saw the look that Zhao Ji threw at him, and knew that Zhao Ji was embarrassed to come forward to oppose it. I cried out in my heart, so I had to say, "This...... The Shenxiao Heavenly Palace is built near the imperial palace, isn't this a high and far-sighted view, and you can see everything in the palace clearly...... There are so many noble concubines and emperors in the harem, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
Wen Fei thought about it, when the time comes, a Taoist temple will be messy, people will come and go, and they can see those things in the harem, which is really not very appropriate. hesitated, which made Zhao Ji breathe a sigh of relief. Hurriedly said: "Father Shang, don't worry, I will definitely find a place for Father Shang to build that Shenxiao Heavenly Palace!"
Wen Fei was ruthless: "It's a big deal to demolish the Great Xiangguo Temple and build my Shenxiao Heavenly Palace!"
The faces of several people turned green when they heard this, and even Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Immortal Master, don't worry, there will be a place!"
Before he finished speaking, Wen Fei's eyes lit up: "Yes, isn't the official family a mansion given to me?" I think it will be demolished there, and it is not bad to build the Shenxiao Heavenly Palace." Thinking of building a building dozens of meters away here and pressing on the heads of those monks, Wen Fei made even more decisions in his heart.
"Repair on Shang's father's mansion?" Zhao Ji was stunned: "That mansion covers an area of only about 20 acres, not even a fraction of the Great Xiangguo Temple!"
