Chapter 1,498 The New Palace

The book only ends here. At that time, Su You had not suggested to Gao Taotao to divide the four roads and "use the clans to integrate the four peoples"; Zhang Dun had not yet proposed "inversion of the tax system" and "mass production as tax".

Wang Anshi himself could not find a solution. He only hoped to solve it from the ruling class's moral requirements of "benevolence" and "love for others".

After Zhang Dun understood Su You's economic methods against the Liao Dynasty, he went back and reread the book. The more he read, the more frightened and confused he became, so he often discussed it with Su You.

Among them, what Zhang Dun objected to the most was Xianggong Anshi's description of national expenditures. He believed that Xianggong Anshi had ignored an important aspect, which was national security.

The national security in Zhang Dun's mind is not only the defense of the homeland from infringement, but also includes regular attacks on the military forces established by surrounding forces. Even the military losses caused in the process are counted as national costs.

This boy is a hawk at heart. After receiving an extra three to five dou, he has already begun to sprout the embryonic ideas of imperialism and hegemonism in later generations. He believes that the forces surrounding the Song Dynasty should kill all those who are not a dog-licker.

Light

This is a bit too much.

So Su You discussed the issue of operation and maintenance costs with him all the way.

There are many means of international diplomacy, not just military. Military is actually a very costly business with huge hidden dangers. If not handled properly, it is equivalent to laying mines for future generations.

For example, in the areas surrounding the Song Dynasty, what if many places were taken down?

Poverty alleviation will still be needed a thousand years from now, let alone now?

Moreover, it is impossible for a country with a restless environment to develop with peace of mind, so this involves the control issue of "degree".

In short, we cannot be like the doves of Sima, who wish to wipe out all national defense funds from the national budget in the hope that others will not attack us;

Nor can we follow the path of classical anti-government like that of Qin and Xixia, with a population of five million supporting an army of one million, with no other option but to plunder and conquer foreign countries.

Chinese people have a kind of thinking, that is, winners are kings and losers are losers. The winners are exalted excessively and the losers are belittled excessively.

Many people still don't understand where the "violence" of Bao Qin comes from, but they can actually understand it at a glance.

When the Qin Dynasty took over Baiyue, it "sent out the people who had died, and married people from the state of Jia."

The concept of a son-in-law in the Qin Dynasty was different from that in later generations. In fact, he was a hereditary slave.

"Yunmeng Qin Bamboo Slips Interpretation 1: The Way of Being an Official": "From now on, if you go against Lu and marry your son-in-law or stepfather, you should not let him become a householder. Do not let him live in the fields. After three generations, if you want to have a scholar, you will be assigned to a certain position.

The record says that someone is worried about having a son-in-law, so he is a grandson."

In addition, there are a large number of slaves such as "servants", "concubines" and "slave children".

There are also a large number of "chengdan" and "criminals" who were converted from civilians who violated the law.

There were as many as 700,000 prisoners in Guangli Mountain, not including those who were sent to northern and southern Xinjiang and were ordered to never return. This is by no means a phenomenon that a normal country should have.

When these forces converge into an "anti-government" class, the problem becomes bigger and trouble begins.

The Qin Dynasty laid the basic pattern of the unification of the Chinese people, opened up the basic territory and geographical living space of the Chinese people in later generations, and helped the Chinese people to digest it until the Song Dynasty. This alone can be called great.

But there is no need to exaggerate endlessly or even try to tamper with the historical truth.

In fact, it was not the First Emperor who created "books with the same text and cars with the same track".

The provisions in "Book of Zhou Li Kao Gong Ji" are very detailed, such as "The craftsmen run the country, with a square of nine miles, and three gates on the side. The middle of the country has nine longitudes and nine latitudes, and the classics and nine rails. The left ancestor and the right society face the market. The market.

To Kazuo."

There is another example: "The pot is made into a gui, which is actually one cup, Chongchi, half an inch thick, and a lip inch. The beans are made into three cups, Chongchi. When it comes to pottery pots, the buns are cultivated, and the bean is not in the market. In the vessel, there are beans.

For a county, the height is four feet and the square is four inches."

As large as a city or as small as a clay pot, there are standard size regulations.

And this book was compiled by Zheng Xuan of the Han Dynasty based on the craft standard books of six categories and thirty types of work left by the people of Qi Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period. The real situation must be much earlier than the Spring and Autumn Period.

Therefore, standardization was not created by the Qin people, and Chetongrail was not started by Chinese talents after the unification of the First Emperor. Instead, it existed as early as the Zhou Dynasty.

It was just that it was later disrupted by the princes, and the First Emperor once again brought order to the chaos and used the power of the country to reunify it.

This credit needs to be acknowledged, but because of this, Qin Shihuang is considered to be the inventor of "standardization", but this over-exalts the Qin people and the First Emperor, and underestimates the wisdom of the Chinese people.

However, this set of rhetoric was only true in front of Zhang Dun. In front of Sima Guang, it emphasized Qin's significant contribution to the "basic foundation of China", emphasizing that Qin defeated the Xirong Xiongnu, Nandi Baiyue, and opened up the road to measure it.

, the achievements of a series of major water conservancy projects such as the Dujiangyan Irrigation System.

In short, don't go to extremes and evaluate objectively.

However, Su You greatly appreciated Zhang Dun's argument that "eliminating the inversion of the tax system is an important weapon to solve the country's basic contradictions" derived from "Economic Theory".

The true prime minister is indeed worth looking forward to.

In Bingchen, the Empress Dowager issued an edict: "The original temple was established a long time ago.

Now that Shenzong has given birth to his wife, he serves as a camp in the story to worship the gods.

But to the east of the palace wall, it is close to the people's village. If you want to expand it, you are afraid of causing trouble;

Hello everyone, our official account will find gold and red envelopes every day. You can get it by paying attention. This is the last benefit at the end of the year. Please seize the opportunity. Official account [Book Friends Base Camp]

If you want to adopt the opinions of the gentry and combine the emperor and the queen into one palace, you will not be able to call it Shenzong Qinfeng Zukao.

I heard that there was a garden behind Zhilong Hall, and it was pushed out from the later hall, originally reserved for the survivors, so that the original temple of Shenzong could be built on the site.

After my long life, I will follow Emperor Yingzong in Zhilong. Above, I can calm the gods, in the middle, I can fulfill my son's aspirations, and below, I can calm the hearts of my subjects. Isn't that good!"

What Gao Taotao meant was that if the rules of etiquette were followed, the Yingzong and Shenzong should build a sacrificial palace alone.

However, because the palace was small, she decided not to disturb the people, but only renovated the area behind Zhilong Hall, and integrated the emperor and empress into one hall to worship, in order to save space.

This is a "sacrifice" made by the royal family to the country, but the implication is that it is in exchange for the court officials' compromise on palace construction.

How to build a harem without increasing the burden on the country and without allowing the people to demolish it? Everyone else should shut up and stop talking nonsense.

The royal family took a stand on this matter and asked everyone to take a step back. The ministers were also obedient and no one was messing around.

So Bian Guan and Song Yongchen began to direct the craftsmen to carry out large-scale construction and renovate the palace.

It is still a mortise and tenon structure, but the pillars have been changed from wood to reinforced concrete, and are built on cast cement pillars, which can be regarded as a combination of ancient and modern times.

In order to speed up the construction, Song Yongchen even opened a small railway directly into the inner palace. When the villa was built, wooden boards were used to temporarily separate it. The construction site and the life in the harem were divided into two areas, which did not affect each other.

After isolating the work area, the Tianshi Mansion mobilized believers in Bianjing to collect five-color soil. After collecting the soil, they cast the basement and then the above-ground structure. The action was very fast.

In just two months, several three- and four-story villas with oriental aesthetics were completed.

Next is the interior decoration stage, because it is all carried out according to industrial standard drawings. Many carpentry such as doors and windows have been completed when the villa frame is cast. Now it is just an installation problem.

Such houses are far more functional than the old-fashioned buildings of the past, are more comfortable to live in, and can be built very quickly.

The interior decoration costs more than the house, but that is no longer a matter of Bian Guan and Song Yongchen.

That's the painter's business.

In order to meet the needs of lighting and heating, the indoor space of each "villa" is not very large, usually about 200 square meters, but because they are all above three floors, plus the balcony on the top floor, the usable area is as much as 700 to 800 square meters.

The most amazing thing about the villa is the floor. Brass strips are used as intervals, and fluorite, mineral pigments and cement are used to fill them into beautiful and generous patterns. Then they are polished until they are reflective and shiny using pot camel ground grinding equipment.

It was not worth mentioning in later generations, but in today's Song Dynasty, through the creation of two artists, the floor of every room can be called a work of art.

Coupled with carpets, wallpapers, chandeliers, fireplaces, as well as exquisite and practical furniture, and rare overseas decorations, this kind of novel design concepts and elements added to tradition made Gao Taotao, who came to see it once, very satisfied.

Zhao Xu couldn't wait to move in right away.

After such treatment, the harem immediately became more open, and half of the area could be designed as a club and garden.

In order to reduce the amount of earthwork, Zhang Dunli and Wang Shen simply designed half of the area into ponds and waterside pavilions.

The pond is very modern, only half a meter deep, and has a rocky bottom.

It didn't cost too much, just settled the previous stone floor, installed pipes and cemented the joints.

The water area is not actually a whole, but consists of countless large and small pools. However, it is covered by the water pavilion channel on the pool, making people think it is one big pool.

In the pond, many precious colorful fish were moved from Su Jiawei's Zhuangzi, as well as the black swans that Twenty-one Duyuan brought back from Xuanhu City and had been raised in Jinming Pond.

There are rockeries, pavilions, lawns, flower gardens, and even a small village on the shore. In the village there are silkworms, chicken and duck sheds, and cultivated land.

According to Zhao Xu's strong request, pumpkins, corns, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and quinoa were mainly grown there.
