As soon as the sage arrived, countless people followed the sage and left the palace.

Fang Jifan, Liu Jian and others walked together.

Liu Jian smiled and kept looking at Fang Jifan, coughing: "Jifan, if someone mocks you, don't take it to heart. As a man, you must not be afraid of worldly gazes."

Speaking of which, Liu Jian still admires Fang Jifan very much. Except for this guy, he would go crazy every now and then.

Therefore, seeing that all the officials mocked Fang Jifan, they felt deeply sympathy for Fang Jifan.

Li Dongyang, Zhang Sheng, Ma Wensheng, Xie Qianren, and others behind him seemed to have accelerated their pace and followed.

Zhang Sheng sighed and said, "They think their nephew is stupid, but I don't think it's true." He blinked hard and tried his best to show his sincere look.

"Yes, yes." Ma Wensheng also sighed. Although Fang Jifan had cheated him countless times, Ma Wensheng was still a good man after all. He said, "Those gossiping people are not good things, thanks to them reading the books of sages."

Fang Jifan saw these uncles and uncles coming to comfort him.

My heart is warm.

It seems that Fang Jifan did this good thing right.

Fang Jifan said, "I don't take it to heart. I'm not a stingy person. I only have the emperor in my heart. There are other people in the Ming Dynasty. What do I care about? I think I know Fang Jifan's nature. If I am really angry, I will hit people. Look, I didn't hit people, but I can see that I'm not angry at all."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed and felt relieved: "It's good if you're not angry, it's good if you're not angry."

The road is very long.

But after following the Holy Lord, he couldn't sit in a sedan chair. After walking for more than two hours, he didn't see the edge of the Daming Palace.

Liu Jian and others could not bear it anymore, so they had to carry them on horses. While looking around, they said, "Why are you going so far? If you go on, you will have to go to the suburbs."

Fang Jifan said: "Not far, not far, isn't this the sage's slow journey? If it were normal, it would take only more than an hour to whip the horse."

Liu Jian and others were shocked. After more than an hour, they quickly raised their horses and whipped them. Can we, the old bones, whip them fast?

After walking for more than half an hour, almost everyone was exhausted, but the towering Daming Palace was already in sight.

In the distance, there is a tower.

There was a mirror on the tower.

The mirror is transparent, and behind the mirror are pointers.

Emperor Hongzhi had already gotten off the dragon chariot and looked at the tower from afar. He couldn't help but greet him: "Where is the prince, and there is also the successor?"

Xiao Jing was exhausted and panting, feeling difficult to breathe, and covered his heart and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty He... Go to serve the Empress Dowager."

"Oh, Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan is here."

But he saw Fang Jifan coming in a hurry.

Before Fang Jifan could salute, Emperor Hongzhi pointed at the tower: "What is that?"

"Bell Tower." Fang Jifan said: "This building can not only be a corner tower, but also has a large bell of Francis machine on all sides. Your Majesty saw the pointer. The big pointer reported the hour. Look, there are twelve hours in total. Isn't this big pointer just right? It's pointer on the scale of noon? There is also a small pointer, that is, can your Majesty see clearly? He aimed at three hours, that is, it's exactly three hours. The bell on this tower is very expensive."

Fang Jifan blinked and began to talk nonsense: "It's worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but the account has not been paid yet."

Emperor Hongzhi said in surprise: "Why didn't you pay?"

Fang Jifan said seriously: "It was the man-made Franchise who encountered a shipwreck. They came to the West Mountain. The sons and ministers knew them reason and moved them with emotion. Under the earnest teachings of the sons, they finally repented and finally accepted the education. Not only did they volunteer to contribute their own efforts to His Majesty's palace, but they also absolutely did not accept any money or food. They felt that it was an insult to them, and they would never be humiliated. In their hearts, there was only a sun and moon that could be revealed, and they were loyal to His Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi had a little strange face and lowered his voice and said, "Did you hit them?"

"..." Fang Jifan said aggrievedly: "No, I only talked about the truth."

Forget it, Emperor Hongzhi was too lazy to care about it.

Looking at this bell tower, it was really a wonderful idea and tricky sky. In this way, whether in the palace or outside the palace, if you want to know the time, when you look up and see the bell tower, you will know the time you are now.

This... is really a good thing.

The Daming Palace is the Daming Palace. From a distance, it is so grand.

Behind me, countless ministers have already expressed praise. This is the first phase of the project, which is so outstanding? Look, it is indeed no less than the Forbidden City.

The moat has been built long ago.

Outside the moat, there were blue bricks, but once you passed the moat that led to the Daming Palace and entered the door, you suddenly realized it. When you looked down, you saw that it was covered with ceramics as bricks.

Along the central axis, in the distance, is a huge palace.

This palace seems to be made of stone, not wood.

In fact.

A wooden palace is actually the most time-consuming.

If it were the Han Dynasty and Song Dynasty, it would be simple to build.

But with the thousands of years of cutting down, almost all the giant trees that can be built in the heart of the Ming Dynasty were cut down completely.

Everyone likes wooden houses, and the wooden board splicing process is not fine enough. Any big wood has been logged clean long ago.

Therefore, when the Forbidden City was first built, the wood that made the imperial palace was almost transported from Yunnan and other places, and the time spent on the way was extremely expensive.

Fang Jifan was very practical, and he directly added bricks to concrete, and then applied paint and paint on the outside.

In order to keep the hall transparent, Fang Jifan also adopted the method of floor-to-ceiling windows. This huge brick and stone structure hall imitated the Fengtian Hall, with glass directly falling directly into the ground, which was extremely transparent.

Not only that, in order to have sufficient sound insulation effect, Fang Jifan used three layers of glass to ensure that the discussions in the hall can be isolated from the outside.

After each glass, there is a roller shutter. If you want to secretly report the matter or don’t want to bask in the sun, once the roller shutter is pulled, the new Fengtian Hall will be immediately isolated from the outside.

The larger the palace, the lighting is the biggest problem. Even if it is Fengtian Hall, because the hall is too deep, it is made of wood, and it is dark and humid. Over the past century, there has been a faint smell of decay.

This is why, both Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Jiajing were rushing to build new palaces and move.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the 'Fengtian Hall' in the distance: "Is that Fengtian Hall?"

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "If Your Majesty likes to call it Fengtian Hall, it will be Fengtian Hall."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Go in and take a look."

All the officials followed, looking all the way up, and were dumbfounded. Although this... although it was only the first main hall completed, the Daming Palace was only the first phase, and it had its prototype, what they saw along the way was the style of the Forbidden City?

Not only that, many "gategories" have been added, giving people a bright and majestic feeling.

Everyone followed the white jade steps to Fengtian Hall. The Fengtian Hall was indescribable because of the floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, and looked inside from the outside. Emperor Hongzhi could even see from here the deepest part of the hall, the high golden throne and the imperial throne, from here, looking at the imperial throne, and there... was particularly solemn and dignified.

Emperor Hongzhi took a few steps and entered the hall.

Fang Jifan coughed: "Take off your shoes, take off your shoes."

"What?" Everyone looked at Fang Jifan.

Emperor Hongzhi also looked suspicious.

Fang Jifan hurriedly said awkwardly: "Your Majesty doesn't need to take off your shoes. Your Majesty is the emperor. How can the emperor take off his shoes? I'm talking about them, they."

In fact, during the Han and Tang dynasties, ministers had to take off their shoes when they entered the hall, but by the Ming Dynasty, this traditional culture was missing.

Beijing is cold.

Once the boots were taken off, everyone was wearing foot binding, which was called socks later in life. But... there were also people's feet smelly. If everyone took off their boots and went in, wouldn't it be stinking?

But this boots take off...

Can it make people barefoot?

Everyone hesitated.

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "Please rest assured, it's warm inside. Not only are there mirrors on all sides, but the sunlight outside can come in. Now, the floor heating is also covered with underneath.

Everyone was startled, floor heating?

This is a big deal.

Fang Jifan ordered people to lay heating pipes underground, and then burn boilers in a remote corner of the Forbidden City. In this way, through the countless underground pipes, countless heating can be sent to the commonly used palaces in various places in the Daming Palace.

This floor heating is different from the fire dragon in the warm gaze.

The Fire Dragon only supplies warm pavilions. After all, when building the Forbidden City, I didn’t expect this. However, it was too late to renovate the palace on a large scale, so I had to renovate a warm pavilion in the palace, which was Emperor Hongzhi’s favorite place.

But the Daming Palace must be forward-looking, so Fang Jifan put someone on the floor to warm up in advance.

In order to make the floor heating comfortable, tiles are also pasted in each palace.

Therefore, although there are pieces of ceramic tiles in Fengtian Hall, everyone feels very fond of these smooth ceramic tiles. Moreover, the visual effect of the ceramic tiles and floor-to-ceiling windows is simply great.

This ceramic tiles are slowly moisturized by the floor heating, so...

Fang Jifan was the first to take off his boots, even his foot binding socks, and then stepped on the tiles in front of everyone.

Although it was early spring, Beijing was still cold.

But although Fang Jifan was barefoot, the soles of his feet and the tiles were combined together, and it felt warm. It was straight to the soles of Fang Jifan's feet. The floor heating thing was a qualitative leap in improving the quality of life.

Everyone looked at Fang Jifan suspiciously. Can this... really... step on it?

Isn't this Fang Jifan a prank?

Seeing the ministers so reserved.
