How could this be used as a pillar?

"So I'm going to have a look. I heard that it's because of some feng shui that I insist on using these two pillars."

Lu Chensheng couldn't help rubbing his forehead with some headaches.

Recently, the expenses have been too high, and funds from him are needed everywhere.

As a result, the finances will be in deficit.

Now hearing that these two pillars were used, Lu Chensheng couldn't help but want to take a look. If there were this jade, Lu Chensheng felt that his pressure would be greatly reduced.

Everyone walked forward, and finally after another hour and a half, they saw a majestic palace rising from the ground.

In the center of the palace, a clear spring gushed out from it. It seemed that the spring water seemed to come out of the palace.

Earlier, the craftsman had told Lu Chensheng that the palace needed to be built here.

Seeing this scene now, although I already know it, I am still a little curious.

"grown ups!"

Seeing Lu Chensheng's arrival, the craftsmen or other workers on the side suddenly woke up at this moment.

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, "Don't be too polite, just keep working."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison and continued to work.

"Call the master."

Lu Chensheng gave an order, and then the principal soon came to Lu Chensheng.

"The two jade pillars in the warehouse were used by you?"

Hearing the words, the principal felt a little uneasy, knowing that Lu Chensheng was here to settle the old score.

"Yes."

The master was also straightforward and responded directly.

"Why do you have to use that jade pillar?"

"My lord, please listen to me. It was because the load-bearing pillars couldn't be knocked down at that time. In the end, I asked the Taoist priests who stayed behind in the Taoist temple to look at it and said that special pillars were needed to knock it down."

The chief said something quickly.

"Your Excellency doesn't know, it was also very strange at the time, after coming over with this jade pillar, it was easily knocked down."

Lu Chensheng frowned slightly, is it so magical?

Looking at the other person's appearance, it seems that he is not lying.

"Take me to see."

Lu Chensheng walked forward, ready to see how the pillar was doing.

Hearing this, the master quickly led the way.

Most of it has been built here, the floor tiles on the ground are arranged extremely flat, and the railings on the side are all carved.

After walking in, you came to the main hall.

In front of the main hall is the spring water, which flows into the pool in the center of the main hall. There should be a hidden pipe flowing out of the pool.

The pool was sparkling, but when the underground water spewed out, the sound was not loud, which was rather strange.

Logically speaking, with such a huge flow of water, the sound of water should not be absent.

"How is this done? Why is there no sound of water?"

Lu Chensheng pointed to the water surface, a little strange.

Hearing the words, the master took a look and said, "It was made by an old craftsman. He used some special techniques to make the sound seem like nothing when the water enters the water."

Doesn't this mean loneliness?

Lu Chensheng took a look at the principal, but didn't make things difficult for him. The other party probably really didn't understand the truth.

But judging from this appearance, the skill of that craftsman is not small.

Chapter 597 Jade as Brick

The entire hall is extremely huge. Although it has not been completely completed, one can already feel the majesty of the hall.

Lu Chensheng turned his head to look, and saw the huge jade pillars on the left and right sides, and five-clawed golden dragons were carved on the two pillars.

Winding up along the jade pillars, it looks extraordinary.

Lu Chensheng stepped forward and reached out to touch it, feeling the tenderness and softness of the jade.

"At that time, the rest of the pillars were used, and they couldn't be placed?"

Lu Chensheng turned his head and asked.

"Yes, my lord!"

Hearing the words, the principal responded immediately.

Lu Chensheng didn't know whether it was true or not. Anyway, the other party said so. It seems that future generations will record this matter in the future.

As for the authenticity, later generations will not be able to tell clearly.

In the end, Lu Chensheng didn't blame him, and started to inspect the palace.

"My lord, there is still a lot of jade in the warehouse right now. If it can be paved with jade to make floor tiles, then the hall will definitely be warm in winter and cool in summer, and it will also be able to show the eternal magnificence of Xinghan City."

The chief suggested from the side, according to him, if the palace is to be built, it is naturally the best.

Lu Chensheng paused when he heard the words, and said helplessly, "Where are those Hetian jades in the warehouse enough to be paved with floor tiles?"

Isn't this messing around? How big is this hall.

I'm afraid it won't look crowded even if there are tens of thousands of people standing in it. It's a good thing the other party thought of it!

"My lord, my lord, don't use Hetian jade, I have other jades!"

The principal refused to give up. To be honest, he had thought about this proposal for a long time and wanted to talk to Lu Chensheng a long time ago.

It's just that I haven't dared to.

But at this moment, Lu Chensheng had come, and he didn't blame the jade pillar anymore, so he moved his mind.

"My lord, with my lord's great talent and strategy, I will definitely be able to make the kingdom come to court in the future. At that time, the imperial palace will also represent the face of the Tian family. How can I not be careful?

Right now it is just starting to repair, but after the repair is completed, it will be much more troublesome to reinstall.

"There is no other jade in the warehouse."

Lu Chensheng shook his head, what kind of suggestions are these, and such opinions that cost money can also be said.

"My lord, the territory has expanded a lot now, but there are many jade mines that can be mined. As long as your lord agrees, this is not a troublesome matter."

Hearing the words, the master hurriedly spoke.

Judging by his appearance, it seems that he already knows where to get the jade back.

Lu Chensheng paused slightly, looking at the principal.

The principal was drenched in cold sweat when Lu Chensheng looked at him, and felt that he had said something wrong.

"Do you know where the jade mine is?"

The principal felt a little uneasy, but at the moment he heard the words and did not dare to deceive Lu Chensheng.

"Yes, my lord, the subordinates know where the jade mine is located, in fact many people know about it, and there are several batches of jade that have not been transported away, this is what the subordinates learned before.

It was a craftsman who worked here. He was originally carving jade in the territory of Jiang State, but the petty official was extremely harsh, so he ran away. "

Lu Chensheng was stunned when he heard the words, no wonder the other party knew.

After pondering for a while, Lu Chensheng took a look at the master.

I feel that what the other party said is also correct. Since it is going to be built, there is nothing wrong with building it well.

Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng nodded in agreement.

"That's right."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and replied, since there are jade mines, it would be nice to have some jade.

The principal breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. Fortunately, Lu Chensheng did not blame him, otherwise he would definitely be held accountable.

"How long will the project take, and can it be completed?"

Lu Chensheng inspected the palace, most of the places have been built.

It takes a long time to walk around Lu Chensheng just to inspect it, and there is a vermilion gate on the side.

The gate is extremely tall, several meters high, and the vermilion color has an indescribable dignity.

"Well, my lord, it mainly depends on whether the materials are available. If possible, the work can be completed in half a year if there are enough people. However, there are some restrictions on materials, and the subordinates dare not mess up the date."

The person in charge didn't dare to say more.

At this moment, how could he respond in such a random way.

Lu Chensheng heard the same thing, sometimes the construction period will indeed be delayed.

Especially for ancient ones, all the materials have to be processed, and then soaked in tung oil for several months.

"Is there enough manpower now?"

"It's enough for now. Many craftsmen have been dispatched from various places, and the progress has been accelerated a lot."

Wang Tianxun came here before and said that he was dissatisfied with the progress of the construction, so he began to recruit people aggressively.

Craftsmen from all over the country were mobilized, in order to build the palace as soon as possible, in fact, it was also to enable Lu Chensheng to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

After inspecting for a while, Lu Chensheng turned and left.

The palace occupies too much area, and Lu Chensheng feels a little tired even after patrolling, it seems that he will have to get a sedan chair in the future.

"Master Wang has put his heart into it, and knows that he has to speed up the progress."

Lu Chensheng took Gu Zhifang away, and Gu Zhifang said something on the way.

In his opinion, the construction of the palace is too slow. It has been several years and it has not been completed yet.

But he didn't know that the palaces in other places had actually taken several years to be built.

"By the way, are there people like great scholars and Confucians coming to Star Seoul?"

Lu Chensheng suddenly thought of something.

"Indeed, there are, and quite a few have come. Do you have something to do with them?"

"Well, they need to write the classics together."

Before that, Lu Chensheng always felt that pinyin is very easy to use, and pinyin can be used in a dictionary.

But when I saw it on the fifth day of the new year, I was a little confused. I had no experience with pinyin, but I couldn't use pinyin to find words.

As a result, you need to use radicals.

In addition to this, when Lu Chensheng was writing, he still needed to read some classics before he could annotate some vocabulary.

The amount of such a project is too large, and most of Lu Chensheng's students have never learned this knowledge.

Lu Chensheng's students are all learning some advanced knowledge, and it is really embarrassing for them to write these things.

Therefore, Lu Chensheng thought about it, and decided to entrust this task to some university scholars.

With their talents, presumably such things would not be a problem.

"Then find someone to handle it?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhifang immediately spoke.

Lu Chensheng nodded, "Find someone to do it, remember to be polite, they are all great Confucians anyway."

When looking for someone to do something, the most basic courtesy is still required, but don't offend them just at the beginning.

"It belongs to the subordinate province."

Gu Zhifang nodded, Lu Chensheng felt relieved that he still did a good job in handling affairs.
