Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord - Chapter 1065
While the officials of the court hall and the merchants Hu Shang were waiting, the new and thick door of the Daming Palace slowly opened. Li Er and Li forgetful came out surrounded by a group of internal attendants and palace guards.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Today, both the officials of the court hall and these merchants Hu merchants received an invitation from King Li forgetful of Qin to visit the new town in the north of Chang’an city.
They didn’t expect that Li Er would also appear.
“Good day, your majesty!” the officials quickly bowed to salute.
The merchants, Hu merchants, although most of them had never seen the saint with their own eyes, immediately reacted and stood next to King Li forgetful of Qin. Who was the man with Qiu beard wearing bright yellow clothes and embroidered with dragon patterns.
Therefore, a group of merchants in Chinese clothes, Hu merchants, saluted Li Er in confusion.
There are bowels, chest, bow, and bow, and kowtow to kowtow. In short, the chaos is a mess, which make complaints about the officials in the court.
Li Er didn’t think he was disobedient at all. He was in a happy mood and waved his hand to everyone to be free.
“Gentlemen, excuse me. I heard that King Qin invited you to visit Daming Palace today. I was very curious, so I didn’t invite you. Ha ha, I don’t even know what Daming Palace looks like. How about you traveling with me today?”
Li forgot to worry and laughed to himself. Li Er was lying with his eyes open.
Since the construction of Daming Palace, Li erhen can’t run eight times a day. He won’t know what the new palace is like?
However, for the sake of Li Er, the king of the Tang Dynasty, who worked so hard as a “trust”, Li forgot to worry and just didn’t hear it.
Li Er’s words made everyone in an uproar.
It’s OK for all officials, but those merchants and Hu merchants are all excited.
Although Datang is open, the status of merchants is really not high, even very humble.
Now, it’s a great honor that these unscrupulous merchants can enter the new palace with the supreme emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Several old merchants almost convulsed with excitement.
After a while of confusion, Li forgot to worry and stood up with a smile: “Your Majesty, gentlemen, if you don’t go to the new Palace first? The minister is also very frightened. I don’t know whether the new palace can satisfy your majesty.”
Li Er laughed: “very good! I’m looking forward to it! In that case, Ziyou will lead the way.”
Li forgot to worry, smiled and nodded. After making an invitation gesture to Li Er, he took the lead to turn around and walk towards the gate of Daming Palace.
The court officials and the merchants, Hu merchants, each stared, stretched their necks, and couldn’t wait to follow behind Li forgetful and Li Er.
When they passed the long corridor at the gate of Daming Palace, they suddenly saw the light in front of them.
After seeing the scene in front of us, everyone couldn’t help but stare, open their mouth, and couldn’t believe it.
“This, this is really Daming Palace?”
“Majestic! Majestic!”
“Hiss… Did the king of Qin move the world’s temples to the world?”
Since the construction of Daming Palace, its general has attracted the attention of Chang’an people. Including these court officials, they are also very curious about what the picture scroll displayed by the king of Qin at the Tai Chi hall will look like when it is built.
But no matter how many people imagine, when the Daming Palace really comes into their eyes, they can only feel boundless shock
Behind the gate of Daming Palace, a huge and wide square suddenly appeared in front of us.
If it is just the square, although the square is very broad, it will not make people so rude.
The key is that the bricks and stones laid on the ground of this huge square are shining brightly in the sun!
It is smooth and flat, and even has various colors on it.
From a distance, there are bright yellow huge dragon patterns embedded in the ground in the middle of the square!
More importantly, in front of the square, the bricks and stones at the foot are not a gap, but a complete piece!
Many officials and merchants could not wait to squat down and touch the bricks and stones on the ground.
“This floor tile is so bright and clean, like jade! But where does jade come from these colors?”
“It’s as bright as a mirror and crystal clear! I’ve lived all my life and can’t even know what it is!”
“Well, how can there be no joints? Is this a complete stone? I’m afraid only the Taoist ancestors can do it?”
Li Er was also very satisfied with the response of the officials.
When he first saw the square with his own eyes, he was no better than everyone.
This stone like, jade like and glass like brick and stone, even Li Er didn’t know how Li forgot to worry about it.
Li Qieyou is more satisfied with his “masterpiece”.
If he can achieve such an effect at the least cost, his goal will be achieved.
According to the architectural tradition of the Tang Dynasty, most of the materials used to lay the square are stones mined from the mountains and carefully carved and polished by craftsmen. To pave the huge square in front of us, these stones alone are expensive, time-consuming and laborious.
Li Qieyou naturally refused to do that kind of stupid thing, so terrazzo, a building material, was pounded out by him thousands of years in advance.
It can be made by mixing gravel, glass, quartz stone and other materials with cement, bonding and forming, and then grinding and polishing the surface.
Because of the low cost, arbitrary color matching and mosaic, convenient construction and other reasons, in the 1960s and 1970s, many Chinese families liked to lay terrazzo floors in their houses during decoration.
In front of the square, Li forgets to worry about the life of craftsmen, which is made of cement cast on site, mixed with various colored stones, glass and other objects, and polished.
And its effect is surprisingly good!
Tang people have never seen such building materials. Naturally, they are shocked.
It has to be said that after adding a lot of glass in the terrazzo, the reflected light under the reflection of the sun is really frightening.
And its price is quite cheap.
Compared with traditional crafts, it requires a large number of craftsmen to collect stones from deep mountains for carving and processing, which is extremely cheap.
This is why Li forgot to worry that it might not cost so much to build a Daming Palace.
Of course, the use of terrazzo also has disadvantages, that is, over time, the terrazzo will become stained and dull.
Terrazzo used in the open air will also suffer weathering and abrasion.
However, these are not a problem for Li Qieyou. Anyway, there are so many palace maids in Li Er’s palace. They are ordered to clean and polish the ground every day. It’s no big deal.
Li forgot to worry and smiled without saying anything. He waited until the people were amazed. Then he greeted the people again and walked towards the inside of Daming Palace.
Turning around and looking at the following officials and merchants of the court hall behind him, Li forgot his worries and couldn’t help but be happy.
He felt that he should prepare a small flag to hold in his hand, and then give each of them a little red hat, so that he could organize a group to travel and visit.
In a trance, walking in the Daming Palace, Li forgets worry and can’t help but be distracted.
Perhaps thousands of years later, if the Daming Palace can be saved from war, there will be a guide to lead tourists to visit here in the future.
“Come, come, members of the league, please look here. This is the famous Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty. After more than 1000 years, it still stands in China and shows us the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty…”
