After hearing this, Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to the inner room.
Soon, under the surprised eyes of Chu Suiliang, Li Chang and others, he walked out holding a thick stack of white paper.
It is faintly visible that there are many patterns densely painted on it.
Seeing this, Li Yuan, who was petting a cat at the side, also came over curiously.
"Wait a minute, this is the courtyard I want!"
As he spoke, Li Xuan unfolded the top piece of white paper about two feet square.
Suddenly, a square courtyard appeared in front of everyone.
Among them, there are courtyards, gardens, attics, horse pens, small lakes, and outside there are breeding farms, that is, chicken pens and pig pens.
Seeing this, Li Yuan, Chu Suiliang and others all had a flash of surprise in their eyes.
None of them expected that Li Xuan could actually draw pictures.
However, the layout of these courtyards painted by Li Xuan is really not flattering.
Chu Suiliang turned around in the faces of Li Yuan and Li Chang, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He bowed to Li Xuan and said: "Your Majesty, you are the King of Jin, and the other courtyard where you live must show your dignity.
majesty.
And if you plan to live permanently in Lijiazhuang, you need at least six entrances to the courtyard. There must be large stone lions on both sides of the main entrance. From the outer wall, you need at least three main entrances, which are the duty offices of the lower officials and other royal officials. There are also more on the left and right sides of the courtyard.
He had to bring ten rooms to house the servants and guards of the palace.
In addition, you have the main hall, the back bedroom, the back building and the east and west wing rooms, as well as the kitchen, garden, horse pen, and the court room..."
From the approximate rooms needed in Wangbieyuan to the layout of some small rooms, Chu Suiliang talked for half an hour before he stopped with some unfinished meaning.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I can only think of so much at the moment. If there are any omissions, I need to ask the prisoner to supplement them!"
Is this still less?
Li Xuan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt that he had been neglecting this long history!
"Chang Shi Chu, what official position did you hold before?"
Chu Suiliang was also stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Li Xuan would ask such a question, but he quickly replied: "Back to the king, I am ashamed. I used to work as a handyman in the Hongwen Hall and manage the daily affairs of the Hongwen Hall!"
"It turns out to be the owner of the Hongwen Pavilion!"
Li Xuan suddenly realized it, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This can explain why this long history of my family seems to know a little bit about everything.
"Your Majesty, please don't say that!"
Chu Suiliang was startled. What kind of place is the Hongwen Hall? He, Ayedu, is just a bachelor of the Hongwen Hall. How dare he be the owner of the hall? He quickly panicked and said: "Xiaguan is just a casual member of the hall. I am lucky enough to follow a few people on weekdays."
A great scholar studies academic law and classics, and looks at the various collections of books in the library!"
"It doesn't matter, anyway, you are now my king's long history. Even if those few Hongwenguan bachelors are unhappy with you, I will not let them bully you!"
Li Xuan waved his hand indifferently.
Anyway, he just knew that the eldest son of his family had real talent and learning in his heart.
Moreover, the courtyard built according to Chu Suiliang's instructions seemed to be much more elegant than what he had thought before, and most importantly, its functions were much improved.
It’s just that it seems that even a layman knows more than him, so why is he working so hard to design so many things!
"The king's villa will be built according to the scale you mentioned!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Chu Suiliang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly praised him.
"However, some buildings in my room must be in accordance with my requirements!" Li Xuandao.
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
Chu Suiliang asked quickly.
"For example, in my inner chamber, two more rooms must be added. One is a bathroom, which is used by me to take a bath, and another room, which is close to the bathroom, is used for washing up every morning and evening!"
Li Xuan took out a few drawings and explained them in detail to Chu Suiliang: "Look, this house is a bathroom, with a bathtub, a shower room, and a latrine. There must be things buried underneath.
Pipes can allow sewage to flow out..."
At first, Chu Suiliang still looked careless, thinking that the king was once again having his own whims and messing around.
However, as Li Xuan spoke more and more, Chu Suiliang could not help but look solemn, but also full of surprise, dumbfounded, and eyes full of joy.
It seems that the bathroom and the hut in the house that the king planned can be realized.
If so, wouldn’t it mean that we no longer have to suffer from frozen buttocks in winter and mosquito bites in summer?
Soon, an hour passed.
Chu Suiliang raised his hands to Li Xuan with excitement on his face and said: "Please rest assured, your Majesty, your subordinates have understood the rationale of what your Majesty said, and they will definitely urge the general to serve as the prisoner and build the King's Villa within two years."
Finish!"
"Two years?"
Li Xuan's eyes widened, "Why does such a courtyard take two years?"
"To your Majesty, if you want to build a courtyard for your Majesty, you must have the best giant trees and rocks. The giant trees are not stored in the palace, so they can only be cut down from the mountains, let them dry in the sun, and then send strong men to transport them. The same goes for the big rocks.
Moreover, the king’s house must be built with bricks and stones, and it will take a long time to bake the bricks and stones!”
Chu Suiliang explained.
"Don't worry, Changshi Chu, I don't need huge trees or big rocks to build a house, nor do you need too many bricks and stones!" Li Xuan nodded and said.
"Don't want giant trees and rocks?"
Chu Suiliang was startled.
"Li Baoding, take Chu Changshi to see the cement!" Li Xuan said to Li Baoding standing aside.
Now, Li Baoding is already the one who is most familiar with the objects in the forge among Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others.
"Yes, Aye!"
After hearing this, Li Baoding responded quickly.
"Thank you for your help, King Huai Wei!" Chu Suiliang quickly saluted Li Baoding.
Li Baoding just nodded lightly and walked out.
Chu Suiliang was already used to this, so he said goodbye to Li Xuan and quickly left.
After a while, Chu Suiliang came back with a shocked face.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, with this magical object, the construction of the other courtyard will be completed within a year!"
"Very good!"
Li Xuan looked happy.
Afterwards, Chu Suiliang asked Li Xuan for a while, and then hurried to Chang'an City.
According to Chu Suiliang's idea, although the King's Palace of Jin would not be larger than the King's Palace in Chang'an City, it would still occupy an area of 100 acres.
Of course, this is just Chu Suiliang's idea.
The specific details of how to build it and how large it should be were ultimately decided by General Supervisor Gongsun Nian and other master craftsmen.
Immediately, after hearing Chu Suiliang’s intention.
Without even thinking about it, General Supervisor Gongsun Nian went directly to Lijiazhuang with the young eunuch, Zuo School Office and other officials, as well as a few Zijiang.
Chu Suiliang's face was filled with surprise and suspicion. The general and supervisor seemed to be a little too enthusiastic about his own king.
In the car, Chu Suiliang asked out of curiosity: "Master Gongsun, the subordinates are a little confused. You seem to have some concerns about my king's villa..."
Before he finished asking, Gongsun Nian smiled bitterly.
"Does Chu Changshi know the two craftsmen around King Jin, Ying Qi and Wu Fu?"
"Your Majesty knows!" Chu Suiliang nodded.
"Those two people were originally craftsmen who would serve as supervisors. Under the guidance of the king, they actually learned the methods of iron-making and steel-making. However, these last two techniques were advantageous to that old man Zheng Ye, the young master.
Tens of thousands of kilograms of pig iron and refined steel can be smelted in one day in prison.
Now, the old man Zheng Ye is so proud that his nostrils are almost reaching the sky. All the officials in the court are full of compliments to the young eunuch, so that the old man Zheng Ye, even himself, sometimes
Pay attention!"
Speaking of this, Gongsun Nian's face was full of depression.
"Forehead!"
Hearing this, Chu Suiliang suddenly realized, and at the same time he looked into the eyes of the general prisoner Gong Sunnian, and couldn't help but be filled with sympathy.
Emotions and such great achievements were all given to the Shaofu Supervisor by his own craftsmen. No wonder the General Supervisor was so depressed.
"In addition, the sofa and glass were also made by Ying Qi and Wu Fu under the guidance of King Jin!"
Gongsun Nian didn't notice Chu Suiliang's eyes and said to himself, "It just has nothing to do with being a prisoner!"
