Chapter 793: Happy
[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!
For the construction of the palace, Fang Jifan really spent countless efforts.
He first invited many famous craftsmen to discuss. Besides, he also specially recruited people from among the captives of Franji, and worked with Fang Jifan to draw blueprints.
If we want to build, we must build the best.
This is Fang Jifan's principle. It is Fang Jifan's lifelong wish to let the father-in-law and mother-in-law enjoy it.
After a lot of work, the rough sketch was finished. Zhu Houzhao had been following Fang Jifan for the past few days. He didn't quite understand what Fang Jifan was going to build. The question was why Fang Jifan suddenly became so interested in this.
After the sketches are roughly drawn, they need to be sent to the Ministry of Industry for verification.
After all, it is the emperor's residence, so it can't be sloppy at all, even if Fang Jifan pays for it.
...
Emperor Hongzhi went to greet the Empress Dowager early in the morning, and then went to Nuange, Liu Jian and others, as usual.
Everyone sat down, Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood, picked up the teacup, and said with a smile: "I had a dream last night, dreaming that a golden dragon descended from the sky, you say, it's strange or not."
"Really?" Liu Jian was also surprised. In fact, he was also interested in interpreting dreams. Although he was busy with official duties, he liked to study it occasionally.
Since the Ministry of Industry decided on the location of the new palace and sent it to Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi heard that there was such an auspicious place, perhaps because Emperor Hongzhi took this matter to heart. For the sake of the dream, it really happened.
Emperor Hongzhi was about to speak vividly, but an eunuch came outside and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has sent a sketch of the new palace, which was drawn by Fang Duwei himself and other craftsmen. It is said to be a sketch, but it is only a rough prototype. .”
Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "This Jifan is really serious."
Liu Jian and the others also smiled, but muttered in their hearts, what exactly does this guy want to do?
Emperor Hongzhi summoned Chen Yan, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, to come in, and Chen Yan presented the sketch.
It is said to be sketches, but there are quite a few, dozens of blueprints, and a stack of them. Emperor Hongzhi took the first one to look at, followed by the second and third...
The more I looked, the more confused I became. I couldn't help but raised my eyes in amazement, and looked at Chen Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry: "This...is it really submitted by Fang Qing's family? Is it possible?"
"It's feasible." Chen Yan said: "I have seen it, although there are many strange buildings, but in general, they can be built."
"It covers an area of more than a thousand mu?" Emperor Hongzhi said in horror.
You know, the Forbidden City is only a thousand acres of land.
But Fang Jifan actually wanted to build a new palace on the same scale as the Forbidden City?
This guy...is he crazy, how much food does it cost?
Crazy, absolutely crazy...
Emperor Hongzhi's scalp was numb, Fang Jifan... what a gift this is.
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Chen Yan: "Chen Qing's family, tell me, how much will it cost to build a new palace with this blueprint?"
"This... is not counted." Chen Yan smiled bitterly: "But if you want to use the Forbidden City as the scale and carve beams and paintings, I dare to estimate that at least tens of millions of taels of silver will be needed."
Do...
Emperor Hongzhi felt crazy: "This guy must be joking!"
Tens of millions of taels of silver, but the silver tax income of the Ming Dynasty for three years is absolutely astonishing wealth.
In fact, this money, because of the Fang family's coal mining and many industries in Xishan, can barely be scraped together.
But this is almost equivalent to throwing all the Fang family's belongings into it.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but said: "This...is too thick, tell Fang Jifan to reduce the size!"
Liu Jian and the others were also dumbfounded.
Ten million taels... What is the Fang family planning to do, planning to wipe out all their wealth overnight?
This is almost tantamount to throwing a pot and selling iron.
If Marquis Pingxi knew about this, he would most likely rush back from Guizhou immediately and shoot this prodigal to death.
Everyone suddenly realized that this guy Fang Jifan was serious. Seeing how lively he was, it didn't look like he was playing with a flower gun at all?
Is it really a brain disease?
Just when everyone was wondering.
Chen Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, Fang Duwei said that this is his will, and he has made up his mind. Everything in the Fang family belongs to the emperor, and it is only natural to repair the palace for your majesty. If His Majesty refuses to let him practice, he would rather die!"
"..." Emperor Hongzhi's face turned green.
Would he rather die if he was not allowed to sell everything?
Liu Jian and the others suddenly coughed one after another.
Such a son-in-law is good, really good.
All of the sons-in-law were compared at once.
Even if Taishan is the emperor, who in this world can do this?
But at the same time, they were very fortunate, fortunately... their own son is not like this, if he is such a stupid thing, there is no need to carry on the family line, and he will kill you.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "It's not possible, it's not possible, if so, I really feel uneasy, this child, why is he so real, he is too honest, loyal..."
Emperor Hongzhi stood up, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, suddenly felt a little bit
I'm ashamed, how much dowry was given to the princess when she got married, but now...they treat her so heartily.
"If this person is too loyal, he won't succeed. If he is so stupid, he will be bullied. An honest man will suffer." Emperor Hongzhi raised his head and frowned, worried about Fang Jifan's future fate.
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were only dumbfounded.
…………
Fang Jifan is a person who does what he says and does it. Once he has a sketch, he will start recruiting people.
Fang Jifan searched for highly skilled craftsmen, those skilled craftsmen, and craftsmen with a certain design ability. The Ministry of Industry was very cooperative in this regard. This was to build a palace for the emperor. Who would dare to interfere with it.
Since then, there have been countless masons and carpenters.
The so-called cost of tens of millions of taels of silver is actually far more than that. Fang Jifan wants to build this palace more luxuriously. If the Forbidden City needs tens of millions of taels of silver, then Fang Jifan needs at least 30 million taels of silver.
Of course, thirty million taels and the ten million taels of the Forbidden City are imaginary numbers, because there are many deductions in the palace city, even if it is a piece of wood, it is only ten taels of silver, and if it is reported, it becomes six or seventy taels , If you encounter black-hearted people, there will be even more.
Since Fang Jifan presided over the construction of the palace himself, there were no eunuchs and officials to do anything bad, so Fang Jifan estimated that five million taels would be enough.
But even if it was five million taels of cash, Fang Jifan couldn't just take it out if he said so. He had to raise money everywhere and try his best to squeeze it out of his own property.
This is a huge project. After recruiting countless craftsmen, it is time to recruit laborers everywhere. Then, it is the leveling of the ground and the laying of the foundation. Not only that, all the main buildings must have ' Underfloor heating' requires special drainage ditches, specially built brick kilns, and even...Fang Jifan has to try firing 'tiles'.
Concrete is also necessary. In Xishan, countless attempts to prepare concrete have been made, and now, it is ready-made.
There is no need to put steel bars in the building, firstly, steel is too expensive these days, and secondly, the gardens are all low-rise buildings, so there is no need to use steel bars.
These are just the basics. For the design of this garden, Fang Jifan still needs to find a famous teacher from the south of the Yangtze River to achieve one step at a time.
It can be said that Fang Jifan spent all his energy on this. As a son-in-law, what Fang Jifan did has influenced many people, so that the market for recruiting son-in-law in Beijing has entered a cold winter.
After all... With this example, it seems that the other sons-in-law are not too fond of him.
What's wrong with Du Wei's brain disease thing, prodigal, stupid and stupid, but he is serious, come on, come on, my daughter will marry you, will I build a house for your uncle?
Fang Jifan naturally ignored the ridicule and complaints of others, or took him as a model.
Once he was busy, he even asked a group of scholars from Xishan Academy to come here to supervise the project. These students have advantages. On the one hand, they can understand the drawings; on the other hand, they serve as a bridge to communicate with the artisans. Come and teach the craftsmen and laborers to build.
Of course, the main reason is that Fang Jifan is a little worried about these craftsmen. The students are good and simple, and they should not dare to be greedy for their own money. Well, if they find out, they can be killed.
After countless efforts, finally, at the end of the month, Fang Jifan shoveled down the first shovel of soil, and the new palace was considered to have broken ground.
Fang Jifan also let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, Liu Wenshan was recruited. This is Fang Jifan who personally asked for the emperor's order for Liu Wenshan. He was transferred here from the Imperial Academy to be responsible for the construction of the governor's new palace.
Next, Fang Jifan finally had a chance to be a hands-off shopkeeper after he was free for a while.
It's just...every time I saw Steward Yang and Wang Jinyuan, their resentful eyes seemed to be saying something, but they didn't dare.
Fang Jifan had no choice but to shrug his shoulders at them, and couldn't help but think, I'm sorry, I really bothered you after spending so much money, but I, Fang Jifan, are a person who regards fame and wealth like floating clouds.
………………
Guiyang.
Pingxi Hou Mansion...
Ping Xihou received a letter from Steward Yang.
He was cheerful, and said to Mrs. Liu who was by his side: "Guard Yang hasn't sent a letter for a long time, but today...but I don't know what happened. You don't know. Congratulations, it is said that our family's successor Fan has made a contribution. Today, I don't know what the successor Fan has done to please people's hearts."
Mrs. Liu smiled sweetly, and couldn't help but said: "Master, quickly take it apart and take a look to find out."
Fang Jinglong nodded, opened the letter, and opened it. After a long time, his face became cloudy and cloudy. After a long time, Fang Jinglong yelled: "I want to go back to the capital, hurry up, hurry up, if I don't go back, our family will die." Already!"
