Chapter 1066

Like a tour guide, Li Qieyou led a group of officials and merchants through the Daming Palace, but it dazzled everyone's eyes.

Different from the traditional architecture of the Tang Dynasty, the Daming Palace built under the auspices of Li Qieyou uses a lot of glass, cement, ceramic tiles and other common building decoration materials in later generations.

For half a year, the Daming Palace has taken shape.

Palace walls, turrets, city towers, and several important temples in the former Ming Palace have been completed.

To build at such a fast speed, in addition to Li forgetting to worry about investing a lot of human and material resources regardless of cost, the more important reason is the "Jerry building" of the goods.

For example, the halls of Hanyuan hall, xuanzheng hall and Zichen hall don't use much wood at all, almost all of them are stacked with cement.

After all, according to the Tang system, the wooden beams on the main hall must be good gold nanmu, and the diameter must be embraced by two people.

Not to mention how much it costs to transport such thick Phoebe from central Sichuan, southern Yunnan and other places to Chang'an City, I don't know how much it will cost.

Li Qieyou directly omitted it and changed it into a concrete beam.

Of course, with today's steel production of Datang, there is no need to think about the reinforcement in concrete.

If the big Daming Palace uses reinforced concrete, the cost seems to be no cheaper than transporting wood.

Of course, there must be muscles and bones in the cement, otherwise the bending and bending strength can not be guaranteed, and the built house is also equivalent to the bean curd residue project.

Li Qieyou just wants to "save costs" and does not intend to fool Li Er.

Therefore, he used bamboo instead of steel bars and regarded it as the muscles and bones of concrete.

Bamboo reinforced concrete is not Li forgetful's invention, but a product that has long appeared in later generations.

Even compared with reinforced concrete, bamboo reinforced concrete is lighter than reinforced concrete and easy to plastic. Even its strength and elastic-plastic shape are not affected by temperature, so it is used more and more widely in future generations.

Of course, there are many disadvantages of bamboo reinforced concrete. The integrity, moldability and rigidity of bamboo reinforcement are not as good as that of reinforcement, and the durability is not as good as that of reinforcement.

However, these shortcomings are not too big a problem for Li forget worry.

Although later countries stipulate that the service life of concrete buildings is 60 years, in fact, the theoretical service life of concrete buildings is very long, even hundreds of years.

The French designed and built the first concrete bridge in 1875, which still existed when Li forgot to worry about crossing.

The first reinforced concrete building in Paris was built in 1853. It has experienced the devastation of World War II and is still intact

Therefore, even if the use of bamboo as muscles and bones has many disadvantages compared with steel bars, Li forget worry does not think that there will be any problems in the Daming Palace in his lifetime.

With cement, brick and concrete, the palace was built at an amazing speed.

After all, compared with wooden palaces, the cumbersome manufacturing process of brick and cement is too simple.

For several temples, Li Qieyou directly ordered people to replace wood with concrete stone columns and stone beams. The appearance was painted with vermilion paint and painted with various color paintings, which was as beautiful and atmospheric as before.

Of course, the most important thing is to save money!

Li Er and all the officials of the court don't know the secret. Although they know that the pillars are not made of wood, they are very satisfied with these indestructible stone pillars.

Large floor glass doors and windows are installed everywhere in the hall, which is extremely transparent. Under the sunshine, the whole temple is shining and bright.

In addition, all kinds of towering trees transplanted from the Qinling Mountains by Li forget worry's life make the completed Daming Palace more dignified in the former dynasty.

Nowadays, glass is still a luxury. It is amazing to use it on such a large scale.

The deeper the traditional Chinese palace is, the more problematic its lighting becomes.

In the age of no glass, the larger the palace, the darker and wetter it became. Even if the outside sun is exposed, many candles still need to be lit in the palace.

In addition, it is a wooden temple. Over time, it will inevitably emit bursts of decay.

This is one of the reasons why emperors are used to building palaces.

The Daming Palace built by Li forgetful worry has none of these problems.

Even Li Er, after seeing the palace of the previous dynasty, was so excited about it that he wished he could move in immediately.

Unfortunately, the Daming Palace project is just over half now.

Li Er wants to move to his new home, but he still needs to wait for some time.

After visiting several temples in the former dynasty of Daming Palace, all officials and merchants have been shocked. They don't know how to speak. They are shocked in addition to being shocked.

Of course, those officials who were born into a noble family secretly scolded Li Lianyou for being a fool and a black sheep.

I don't know how much it takes to build such a Daming Palace.

Even though the world knows that the king of Qin is the richest in the world, it is either crazy or foolish to pay out his own money to build a palace for Li Yuan and Li Er's son.

The aristocratic family still doesn't know that the royal family and the governments of various countries have also taken shares in the construction of Daming Palace and the expansion of Chang'an city. Only when these money are paid by King Li forgetful of Qin himself.

The aristocratic family mocked Li's stupidity, but had nothing to say about the palace in front of them.

When they came to Hanyuan hall, Li Er was even more satisfied with the main hall of the Daming Palace.

Li Er couldn't help looking up at the high imperial rank in the center of the hall. He simply took off his boots and stepped into the hall under the service of Mituo. He was ready to go up to the imperial rank and feel it at a close distance.

The floor of Hanyuan hall is paved with golden ceramic tiles specially fired by craftsmen ordered by Li forgetful. It is magnificent and unspeakable.

Li Er was about to move forward. Suddenly, someone among the officials stood up and said, "wait a minute, your majesty. According to the old minister, the Daming Palace built by the king of Qin is beautiful and impeccable. However, it is a little secret, but the king of Qin shouldn't lay floor tiles in the Hanyuan hall. If the old minister is right, this floor tile should be made of porcelain?"

"Yes, the prince has good eyesight." Li forgets worry and nods with a smile.

It was Wang Ying, Taichang Qing, who stood up to speak. The old man always looked at Li forgetful and always wanted to make trouble for Li forgetful.

Today, when I visited Daming Palace, the old man was stunned. Even if he wanted to be a sprayer, he couldn't say a mistake. Instead, he was very uncomfortable.

At the moment, he finally found a mistake in Li forgetting worry, so he naturally wanted to jump out and criticize.

"Your Majesty, since the king of Qin also admitted that the floor of Hanyuan hall is paved with ceramic tiles, the old minister thought it was very inappropriate. Your majesty, it's a cold winter now. If you tread on it with bare feet, how cold it would be? In the future, when Hanyuan Hall is put into use, all officials will have to sit on the cold and piercing floor tiles in winter. I'm afraid it's inappropriate, your majesty!"

Wang Ying's words stunned Li Er and the ministers. Then she turned her face strangely and looked into the hall. She couldn't help nodding. She thought the old man's words were reasonable.

According to the custom of the Tang Dynasty, you have to take off your shoes and socks when you enter the temple.

When going to court, all officials knelt down in the hall.

Therefore, including the Tai Chi palace, the floors in the palace are made of wood. Even in winter, due to the thermal insulation of wood, even if you step on it barefoot, you won't feel too cold.

But if it's brick, it's different.

Li Er could not help but frown and turned to Li forgetful: "Ziyou, have you considered this?"

Although Li Er knows the progress of the construction of Daming Palace, he is not clear about the specific details. Like what kind of floor is laid in the Hanyuan hall, the emperor naturally doesn't care.

Li forgot to worry, but smiled: "Your Majesty, your lords, what's the matter? If you don't ask your majesty to explore with your lords..."
