When Han Du opened the entire map of the academy, Tang He took a casual look, but his expression suddenly changed.
"This, this is the academy you plan to build?"
Han Du immediately said with a smile: "Yes, isn't it beautiful?"
Tang He was speechless for a moment. Is this a question of whether she is beautiful or not? He sighed helplessly and said, "You can't build this academy."
"Why?" Han Du didn't understand why Tang He thought so arbitrarily that his academy could not be built.
Tang He hated the iron and said: "You don't even look at what you are going to build. There are four floors up and down. Do you know how high the four floors are? Look at this library in the middle of you. It's simply It’s even bigger than Fengtian Temple. And these..."
Tang He circled his fingers around the library, "What do you want to do? You want to move all the Fengtian Hall, Wuying Hall, and Wenhua Hall here? And make each one bigger? Do you know? Do you know how much manpower and material resources it took to build the palace, and how long it took to build it?"
"But the imperial palace is an eternal foundation established by the Ming Dynasty, so naturally it can be done at any cost. And if you insist on building this academy, it will be a disaster for the country, and no one will agree."
"But the emperor has promised to mobilize craftsmen and materials." Han Du said.
Hearing this, Tang He bared his teeth and sneered, and said, "Before agreeing to your request, the superior must have never seen your drawing, otherwise it would be impossible for the superior to agree."
Tang He was really right. Han Du could only smile and said, "Actually, the cost is not as much as the father-in-law thought."
"Not many?" Tang He smiled coldly and said, "Do you know what kind of beams and columns are needed to build such a high hall? I tell you, it must be golden nanmu, and it must be golden nanmu that has been around for thousands of years. Only by being so tall can it bear the weight of the entire hall. Do you know how much effort it takes to transport a piece of golden nanmu like this to the capital?"
Tang He was too lazy to tell Han Du the value of such golden nanmu. The shipping cost alone was far beyond what most people imagined.
Han Du put down the drawings, looked calm, and said quietly: "I'm not sure.

Spare lumber to build the academy. "
Seeing Tang He's puzzled face, Han Du smiled and said: "Building a house does not necessarily require wood, sand, gravel, cement, and steel, isn't it possible?"
Tang He looked at Han Du intently, and for a moment he didn't know whether what Han Du said was reliable. Then he asked in a deep voice: "Are you telling the truth? How do you plan to cultivate?"
Han Du smiled and explained: "I plan to build the lower three floors with cement and steel, and the top floor with wood..."
After listening to Han Du's explanation, Tang He didn't understand how Han Du wanted to build it. In the end, I chose to believe that Han Du was not talking nonsense, so he sighed and said: "Since you are sure, then go for it. If you need me, just ask."
"Thank you sir."
Now that we have the land, craftsmen, materials prepared by Lao Zhu, and the support of Tang He. Without further ado, Han Du began to carry out large-scale construction projects.
On this large piece of charred land, it was the first time anyone dared to step in since the last fire. After the black ash all over the ground was soaked by the rain, the condensed lumps were cleaned up one by one. Even the burned soil was shoveled up and carried away.
Han Du also knew that building an academy could not be accomplished overnight, and could only be done slowly step by step. Therefore, the buildings including the library and the three courtyards were built first.
The large land is full of busy people. Baskets of cement, carts of sand and gravel, and steel bars specially made by the Banknote Bureau were all piled into the simple shack that was built.
Excavation of soil, carrying sand and gravel, people are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground. The place that was deserted the day before yesterday turned into a noisy place in a very short period of time. The white breath exhaled by people seemed to envelope the busy construction site in the main film.
Although no large machinery was involved, there were many people involved in the construction, enough to make up for the mechanical power. The construction of the academy was very fast, almost to the point where it changed its appearance in one day.
Tang He was impressed by this, "Cement is really a good thing. I thought it would be very fast to build roads, but I didn't expect that it would also be very fast to build houses."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Tang He, who originally thought that Han Du would carry out major construction projects, could he really feel at ease? Therefore, I come here almost every day to keep an eye on Han Du, fearing that Han Du will act rashly and end up unable to end.
But after arriving, as day by day passed, Tang He was greatly shocked by Han Du's way of building the academy. There is no need to cut stone or a large number of rare beams and columns. Just use steel bars as the bones and sand, gravel and cement as the flesh, and just build it up layer by layer.
Although the prices of steel bars and cement are not low, fortunately, you can make them yourself and do not need to spend money to buy them, so the cost is still acceptable. Moreover, the cost is much cheaper than building with wood.
Even the stingy Lao Zhu didn't say anything after facing the expense details submitted by Han Du and let Han Du do whatever he wanted.
When people are immersed in doing something, they will not notice the passage of time. Before we know it, another Spring Festival is coming.
When Han Du was walking on the street, he saw people's faces filled with happy smiles, and children followed adults to buy new year's goods. Han Du reached out to catch a falling snowflake and realized that the new year was coming.
When Han Du returned home, he suddenly learned that Zhu Biao was waiting for him.
"Why did His Highness come so suddenly?" Han Du asked while pouring tea for Zhu Biao.
Speaking of this period of time, since Han Du started busy building the academy, Zhu Biao never bothered Han Du again. Han Du even thought that Zhu Biao was once again in charge of the country and had too many things to do.
Zhu Biao sighed and said, "I'm just an idle person now. I just have to go wherever I go every day."
Han Du saw that he looked wrong and asked, "Isn't that right? Is there something on your mind, Your Highness?"
Zhu Biao let out a long sigh, and without hiding anything from Han Du, he said, "My father has decreed that this year's Wanshou Festival has been cancelled."
What is the Longevity Festival? Han Du was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was Lao Zhu's festival and Lao Zhu's birthday. But then I couldn't figure it out. This Wanshou Festival is held every year, why isn't it held this year?
