Pei Shaoqing said again: "But brother, you have to keep a close eye on the construction project in Nanshi, especially the open-air theater in Anyifang. Don't let those craftsmen get away with it."

"Oh, let's wait for me here."

Pei Fei snorted softly and said, "But don't worry, brother, I will keep an eye on them."

"In the past few months, I have been to Anyifang almost every day and will point out any questions in time."

After saying this, he said: "The open-air theater in Anyifang can be said to be the largest single-piece building in the history of my Tang Dynasty and even the entire Chinese. I will definitely strictly control the quality and will not make any mistakes."

"That's good." Pei Shaoqing nodded happily, "I'm relieved."

The construction of Nanshi has entered a critical stage, especially the open-air theater in Anyifang is about to close.

This open-air theater in Anyifang is slightly smaller than the open-air arena in ancient Rome. The outer diameter of the ancient Roman outdoor arena is nearly 200 meters, and the internal field diameter is also 156 meters.

The outer diameter of Anyifang Open-air Theater is only 150 meters.

The internal field diameter is only 120 meters, but it is enough to accommodate the next football field!

However, Pei Shaoqing reserved the allowance for expansion. Apart from the Grand Theater, there are no other buildings in the entire 500×500 area of ​​Anyifang.

So in theory, it can be expanded to a diameter of more than 400 meters!

Another thing is to reduce the difficulty and cost of the project,

Pei Shaoqing did not use a marble structure, but a rammed earth and wood structure.

However, even if it is a soil structure, it still costs more than 500,000 yuan to guard the guard and capture the department!

This is just a grand theater in Anyifang. If the buildings of Yanzuofang, Andefang and Andefang are added, the cost of the entire Nanshi will exceed 2 million yuan!

So, the guard and capture department is actually already sing the empty city plan.

If you don’t find any subsidies, Nanshi will have to stop work.

...

The next day, all a thousand sets of classics, history, and collections were sold.

With the sale of a thousand sets of classics, history and sub-collections, one million coins were also recorded.

"How is it? Are the accounts settled?" Pei Shaoqing smiled and said, "How much do you still owe now?"

"I won't owe it." Qingxuan closed the account book and shook his head and said, "The material and labor costs for the foundation laying period are probably still left with more than 100,000 chunks."

Pei Shaoqing said: "How much does the second phase of the material and labor cost? When will it be paid?"

Qingxuan then opened the account book again and said, "The amount of wood used in the main period will increase ten times compared with the foundation laying period, and the wood is about 100,000 materials."

“In recent times,”

“There are quite a lot of projects in Chang'an City.”

"Especially the projects in Changlefang's Prince's Mansion and Nanshi City, the amount of wood is used even more."

"So the price of wood has risen four times on the original basis. It used to be one piece of material and three pieces, but now it has risen to twelve pieces of material and twelve pieces of material."

"So, just wood costs 1.2 million guan!"

"In addition to wood, there are also materials such as stone, paint, bricks and tile."

"Add to add up the complexity, the total cost of the main period will be at least two million yuan."

"There are also labor costs, and the number of craftsmen required has increased exponentially."

"However, compared with the material costs, labor costs are almost negligible."

Pei Shaoqing frowned and said, "In other words, the material fee alone is 2 million guan?"

"Yes." Qingxuan said, "but when the main body is built, you won't have to spend too much money in the future."

"Yes." Pei Shaoqing nodded in agreement. After all, Nanshi is not an imperial palace, so there is no need to be decorated with carved beams, painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets, and there is no need to paint or fine decoration.

Basically, it can be put into use after it is built.

To make a landscape, there is no need to make a landscape, which is redundant.

So there is no need to spend a lot of money on the later decoration.

But even so, there is still a gap of at least more than three million!

Moreover, this has not yet calculated the daily expenses of the Shogha Division. Now the Shogha Division's Shogha Division has increased to 300 people. If the craftsmen in each bureau are included, the total number of people has exceeded 1,000.

Every month's monthly salary alone costs as much as 5,000 jin.

In addition to the cost of bamboo, ink and other materials, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan!

"This money is really unspent!" Pei Shaoqing sighed, "It seems that we have to scrape another layer of oil and water from the high-ranking families."

"I'm crazy." Qing Xuan curled his lips and said, "I don't believe that those high-ranking families will be fooled to the second time, hum."

"Don't you believe it?"

Pei Shaoqing smiled and said, "Let's see."

Speaking of this, Pei Shaoqing said again: "You're afraid you haven't heard an idiom, right? It's hard to ride a tiger! When the high-ranking families of aristocratic families reacted, it's hard to ride a tiger."

...

Two days later.

Before the aristocratic family could be proud of the great family, they learned about bad news.

That night, more than a dozen families of aristocratic families gathered in Pei Mansion in Shengyefang.

"Old Pei Ge, what's going on? Are there endless things?"

"Liu Rengui, this immortal, is going to fight us to death?"

"I heard that the old guy is really starting to sell off the land outside the city and raise funds."

The heads of more than a dozen families have turned the West Flower Hall of Pei's Mansion into a vegetable market.

Pei Yan was so quarreled that he was two big and frowned. In the end, Pei Zhong shouted twice before finally suppressing the loud noises of everyone.

Pei Zhong said again: "Tell me one by one, don't make a noise!"

"Old Pei Ge." said a head of the family, "Liu Rengui really wants to publish collections of classics, history and literature? And this time, he wants to publish as many as 5,000 copies at a time?"

"This is indeed the case."

Pei Yan nodded and said, "For this matter, the political affairs hall was full of trouble yesterday."

Looking back at yesterday's Political Affairs Hall discussion, Pei Yan still felt that it was unreal.

When he learned that Pei Shaoqing was jealous of money, he sold a thousand sets of classics, history and literature to a noble family. Liu Rengui was very angry and scolded Pei Shaoqing in front of the empress dowager.

And this time, it was rare for the Empress Dowager to not shelter Pei Shaoqing at all.

The Empress Dowager even ordered Pei Shaoqing to reprint a thousand sets of classics, history, and meridians in the shortest time.

At this time, Liu Rengui unexpectedly proposed to increase the number of prints to 5,000 sets.

One thousand of the sets will still be given to the Imperial College, while the other four thousand will be given to the state school according to the population and the number of students in the state!

This is crazy!

Liu Rengui is going completely crazy!

"Is he crazy?" Another head of the family shouted loudly, "Isn't it cost two million yuan to publish 5,000 copies? Can the Liu family take out such a huge sum of money?"

"Liu Rengui is not crazy."

Pei Yan Youyou said, "He is spending time with us."

Pei Zhong continued: "He hated us for interfering in this and did not allow him to gain a good reputation before retiring, so he decided to dig the roots of the aristocratic family into his death!"

"The problem is that the Liu family has so much money?"

A head of the family shouted: "This is two million coins!"

"No need to be that much." Pei Yan said hatefully, "This time, the Empress Dowager was very rare to not shelter his lackeys. She actually ordered the Guard and Capture Office to reprint five thousand sets of classics, history and literature collections at half price!"

"Print at half price?" The heads of the family wailed.

Pei Zhong said: "One million yuan can be sold, and the Liu family can really make up for it."

"Is there no way to be good about this matter?" said another head of the family.

Pei Yan said: "It's impossible to be good anymore. There are only two ways at present."

After a pause, Pei Yan said again: "First of all, it is to raise funds again and intercept the fool again."

Hearing this, the heads of more than a dozen families present were wailing again, because the money they had to raise this time was far more than last time. Even if Pei Shaoqing had also paid in half, it would take at least two or three million yuan.

What's more, Pei Shaoqing will definitely not give them discounts.

Pei Yan groaned and said, "The second thing is that he can only tear him away!"

Hearing this, more than a dozen heads of the family fell silent. They were not able to decide on this kind of thing.

Pei Zhong crossed his hands and said, "Alang, the prime minister of Liu Ge, has been in charge of the Tang Dynasty for twenty years. He can be said to be his disciples and former officials all over the world. This time he personally invested in publishing classics, history and collections and gave them to the Imperial College for free, and gained a good reputation. Whether it is the court or the countryside, his reputation is at its peak."

"There are Guo Waifeng, Guo Zhengyi, Cen Changqian and several disciples in the Political Affairs Hall to help."
