In the harem, the Changle hall is full of festivity.
In the whole Changle hall, from the palace maid to the eunuch, everyone is busy with a smile. In less than a month, the princess will be married. Naturally, there must be a lot of work to prepare.
In the hall, Princess Changle is knitting her own wedding clothes. The exquisite wedding clothes have been gradually formed in the dexterous hands of Princess Changle, and will be completed soon. Originally, Princess Changle didn't need to do these jobs, but Princess Changle decided to do it by herself.
Princess Changle will keep knitting, pick up the sleeve on her body from time to time, stand in front of the mirror and try it, showing a shy and satisfied smile.
"Sister, no, my brother-in-law was impeached by the censor again!"
Suddenly, Li Zhi ran in with a flustered face and said loudly that Li Zhi has now become a little secret agent of Changle. As soon as there is news, he quickly ran to report the channel.
"Ah! What's going on?" Princess Changle exclaimed.
"It's not the new house built by his brother-in-law. It seems to be built very well!" Li Zhi pointed to the content with a Confucian journal in his hand.
As Merton's most loyal supporter, Princess Changle didn't subscribe to Confucianism. Naturally, she didn't know the news. Hearing Li Zhi say so, Princess Changle won it.
Seeing the content of the Confucian journal, she couldn't help but be moved. Relying solely on the description of the Confucian journal, she knew that Merton must have spent a lot of effort for the house, but ended up being impeached by the censor.
"Go and find out. What's the matter?" Princess Changle urged and slipped a cake into Lizhi's mouth.
"OK!" Li Zhi immediately ran out.
Soon, it was too extravagant for mojiazi to build a wedding house for Princess Changle. The news of being impeached by the censor soon spread all over the palace.
"Steel as the reinforcement, cement as the bone.................... mirror as the window."
Everyone in the harem heard of such a house. Although they didn't know what cement was, it must be extraordinary to make the Mo family pay so much attention to it. In addition, other extremely precious things were used to build a house. They couldn't help but envy.
"Marquis Mo really loves the princess. Glass and porcelain are so precious that they are directly used to build a house."
"I'm afraid such a house is more luxurious than the princess's palace!"
"I heard it's three stories high?"
"Isn't everyone living in midair?"
……………………
All the palace maids immediately talked, and everyone envied. If a man treated her like this, I'm afraid it would be worth all his life.
"It's the only thing in the world!" in the Gaoyang palace, the fire of jealousy in Princess Gaoyang's heart lit up and couldn't be calmed down for a long time. Why can Changle enjoy the most favorite and perfect love of her father and the only treasure in the world? Even her birth is a legitimate princess.
Although she has also been given the magic mirror by her father, it is only after Changle! Changle used all the good things first. When it was her turn, Princess Gaoyang thought it was so unfair.
The imperial concubines in the harem stood in front of the new mirror made of mercury and looked at their beautiful faces and perfect makeup in the mirror. They couldn't help feeling sorry for themselves.
"The Mohist son was impeached for building a new house for Princess Changle?" Zheng Chonghua said softly.
"Empress Hui, I heard that Marquis Mo had gone to the court to defend himself, and now she has gone to the Tai Chi hall?" said a palace maid. The palace maid was a confidant she brought from her hometown in Xingyang and was very loyal to her. When she heard the news, she told Zheng Chonghua at the first time.
"The Mohists are really poor for the sake of Princess Changle, but it would be wrong for the imperial governors to think that they can hold the Mohists." Zheng Chonghua sneered.
When she saw the list listed in the Confucian journal, I'm afraid that only the handle of ceramic tile can be considered as offensive. The others are produced by Mohism or have a great relationship with Mohism. I'm afraid Mohist Zi had a self-defense long ago.
"And that's your Majesty's first princess!" Zheng Chonghua sighed.
After she came to the palace, she found out how high the prestige of empress changsun in the harem and how much Princess Changle was favored as the first princess. Although Merton used very rare things, it was built for his daughter. From this point, the Mohist family has been invincible.
Sure enough, after a while, news came from the front hall, and the Mohist son retreated.
"If so, if..." Zheng Chonghua couldn't help sighing, but didn't say it. If she met Mo Jiazi in advance, I'm afraid it would have been a different ending.
I'm afraid the woman to be married is her. She will enjoy the envy of the world. Mohist Zi used the magic mirror as the bride price to build the most perfect new house for her. However, there is no if. Even if she summoned up the courage to take a carriage to Mohu mansion, it would be a step too late and in vain.
With the end of the chaotang debate, more details of mojiazi's new house were gradually disclosed.
Not only the imperial concubines of the Imperial Palace, but also all civil and military officials are extremely curious about how amazing the new houses of the mojiazi are, especially some important officials who are engaged to the royal family.
Princess Changle is the first princess of the line and the head of all princesses. Now the MOH family has built a new house as a model. I'm afraid they can only build it according to this model when their first son marries the princess in the future.
This was originally the sharpest handle played by Yu Zhining, but it was defeated by the new house built by Merton. It is not only high cost and luxury, but also a brand-new new building. Although the materials are unique, the effect is also impeccable.
………………
"This is your new house!"
In the east courtyard of Mo mansion, Li Shimin and many important officials looked at the shocking buildings in front of them in shock. On the outer wall of the three-story new house, white tiles the size of bricks were arranged at random. The whole building was like being made of porcelain, and large windows were pasted with transparent glass, crystal clear.
The last time Merton came, the external walls had not been tiled and the glass windows had not been installed. Now they have been completed, the whole building has been completely completed and cleaned inside and outside.
This is more than a new house. It's a work of art.
No wonder Yu Zhining played impeachment. I'm afraid anyone doesn't like such a house. Even if it costs more money, I'm afraid many people are excited.
"Your majesty and your excellency, please come in!" Merton looked at his masterpiece and nodded proudly:
Merton reached out and pushed open the transparent glass door and invited everyone to enter the new house.
Li Shimin took the lead in stepping in. He suddenly felt that his feet slipped. He couldn't help looking down at the ground. He saw that there were bright and clean ceramic tiles on the ground. He had the feeling that he couldn't bear to step on his feet.
"This is the ceramic tile!" Li Shimin carefully stepped on the ceramic tile and looked at the figure reflected on the floor.
In the Imperial Palace, there are not no floor tiles, but they are all large bluestone slabs. The more precious stones are white marble, but they can't reach the brightness of ceramic tiles.
Merton explained: "the biggest effect of ceramic tiles is not to look good, but to be clean. Even a trace of dust can be easily wiped off. Doctor sun often said that diseases come from the mouth. If we don't touch some dirty things, we will naturally reduce the chance of getting sick."
Li Shimin nodded approvingly, not to mention that cleanliness makes people less sick. In such a bright environment, physical and mental pleasure will naturally reduce diseases and disasters.
"This house is really bright!" Cheng Yaojin ran to the bay window and watched the sun shine through the glass. The whole room was like day. He couldn't help but marvel. His second son Cheng Chuliang was also engaged to Princess Qinghe, and immediately had the impulse to build such a new house.
Moreover, in addition to the transparent glass, several other walls of the house are painted with white gypsum, which adds a bit of brightness and gives people a very comfortable feeling.
Other dignitaries were surprised. Gaomen nobles like to build houses high, and what they want is not to have a bright house. However, the biggest disadvantage of high houses is that they are empty and cost a lot of materials.
Today, the new house in Merton is only one foot high on one floor. Not to mention the hall of the Marquis, even the ordinary brick house is higher than it. However, a piece of glass perfectly solves this problem.
Moreover, every piece of glass can wipe the open window. Even if you sit in the house, you can enjoy the warm sunshine and the beautiful scenery outside the window.
Yuchi Jingde knocked on the wall. Hearing the dull sound, he couldn't help sighing, "this house is really strong."
But looking at the wall, it's an inch thick, and it feels very hard. It can be said that it's an iron wall.
"All these walls are filled with red bricks and solidified with cement. They are as firm as a rock. Even with heavy tools, they can't be broken in a short time." Merton nodded.
At the moment, the walls are painted with gypsum and can not be damaged. Only the side of the stairs on one side shows a lot of white cement. Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin even bend down and beat the cement with heavy objects, but the cement is very strong, just a few white spots.
"So strong, I'm afraid I don't have to worry about rats and insects anymore!" Fang Xuanling exclaimed. In this era, there are wooden and brick and tile rooms. Even in the Imperial Palace, I'm afraid rats and insects are inevitable. And the construction of such solid materials will never suffer.
"It's as solid as a rock. It really deserves its reputation! I'm afraid only such solid materials can support the three-story building." Yuchi Jingde nodded in agreement.
"The biggest advantage of this house is that it saves space. The land of Chang'an city is expensive and people all over the world want to settle in the imperial capital. However, the area of Chang'an city is limited after all. In the long run, it will be overcrowded. If such houses are built in Chang'an City, it can accommodate three times the population in an instant. What Weichen said is the latest generation of buildings, which is not empty. Over time, cement will be used The construction of steel bars will be the best way to solve the population explosion in Chang'an City, "Morton said confidently.
The ministers nodded thoughtfully. This room is just a space of three rooms. Merton built three floors and built nine houses.
"What's more, if there are enough raw materials, it's not impossible for the boy to cover it with ten or eight layers," Morton said proudly.
Li Shimin immediately breathed. If so, the value of the new house will double.
However, Merton turned his words and said with regret: "however, if the construction is too high, it will be very inconvenient for people to eat, drink and Lazar. However, these difficult problems can be solved one day. At that time, this new building will shine."
"I believe that Mo sacrificial wine is not empty. This is indeed a new starting point for my Datang architecture. In this way, even the cost is worth it." Fang Xuanling nodded solemnly.
New materials, new architectural style, new design concept and larger living space are completely born out of traditional buildings, and compared with traditional buildings, they have obvious advantages. Who doesn't like such buildings.
"Merton, please give me an answer. How much does it cost to build such a house!" Li Shimin said, looking directly into Merton's eyes.
Immediately, almost all the important officials focused on Merton. Who wouldn't be excited about such a house? The Mexican family didn't have to calculate the price when they built their own house. What if they built a house for the princess in the future?
Merton carefully calculated and solemnly said, "the cost of thousands of Guan is just a rumor of Confucian journals. If according to the quoted price in the market, the house should cost about 300 Guan."
"Three hundred Guan Qian?" Li Shimin and his officials were relieved. Ordinary people still need 20 Guan Qian to build three ordinary brick houses. I'm afraid it will cost nearly a hundred Guan Qian to build nine houses. If precious wood is used, it will be more expensive. It's not unacceptable to build nine houses with three hundred Guan Qian.
For a moment, many people secretly planned, but Li Shimin was here, and they didn't say what they knew.
