"Ahem!" Ying Zheng pretended to cough, but his eyes narrowed, "Li Zhao! It is true that Shanglinyuan will wrong me, so I don't want it anymore. You have to build Afang Palace in a short time, so that I can Have a roof over your head.”
What? Was he deceived in this way?
Li Zhao couldn't believe it. He was extremely firm just one moment, but backed down the next moment. This logic is a bit scary, but it's okay, Shanglinyuan is saved.
However, another condition is more stringent.
Will Afang Palace be built in a short time? This is difficult for others to do.
It should be noted that Epang Palace is a big project. Some people in later generations commented that Epang Palace is the largest palace in China. Since it is the largest palace, how can it be built in a short time? It will cost his life.
However, he could not refuse the emperor's order. He was so troubled that he didn't know how to respond, so he could only hesitate.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. I will definitely build the Afang Palace as soon as possible."
As soon as possible, fast or slow, there is no time limit, and he can respond well. This can be regarded as a way to save himself, but how could Ying Zheng not hear it.
"Very good, very good, you can build it within a month! I can't stay in Shanglinyuan, can I?"
Well!
Li Zhao collapsed immediately.
It took a month to build Afang Palace, why not dismember it?
It took more than a month to clear the ruins, let alone build them.
Yes, the ruins of Epang Palace were built with materials from the Qin Dynasty. Let’s not talk about whether there is a foundation. Even if there is a foundation, it is not solid and does not meet the architectural standards in his mind. It will definitely have to be demolished.
In terms of building materials, we cannot use Daqin's. We need to use cement, fire bricks, various decorative materials, etc. Such a large project cannot be completed within a month even if Shanglinyuan already has a complete workshop for various building materials.
Suddenly, the voice of blame appeared.
[Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang, you are really a lion. You built it in a month. You are clearly making things difficult. 】
[It should be noted that building a new type of Afang Palace requires a lot of building materials and even more manpower. How can I get it done in such a short time? 】
Ying Zheng was slightly stunned upon hearing this, and his firm attitude just now softened a bit.
Indeed, the unfinished Afang Palace took several years. It was really difficult to spend just one month on it, but how could one go to court to handle state affairs without a palace?
Anyway, this kid won't do things seriously without forcing him, so we can't give him too long.
"Your Majesty, I understand his difficulties, but one month is too tight. Can you delay it a little bit?" Li Zhao could not accommodate the emperor like this, even if he offended the emperor.
The emperor did not blame him for his words. He smiled and said, "One month is indeed difficult for you, so let's give it three months! Three months is enough. I, the Qin Dynasty, cannot be without a palace for too long."
This time he was extremely firm, and although his tone was gentle, he could not tolerate any rebuttal.
Li Zhao had no choice but to nod with a wry smile, but started to curse.
[Three months is three months. It is possible to recruit more manpower, but the expenses will be higher. But you promised to be responsible for building materials at that time, building materials! It's definitely not possible to use Da Qin's. If you want to use Lin Yuan's, then you will definitely allocate a lot of gold to it. It will work, it will work. 】
This is not because Li Zhao is confident. Construction relies on manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and material resources rely on manpower, and manpower depends on financial resources. Generally speaking, it relies on financial resources. If the money is in place, everything will be easy to handle.
Although such a huge project is tight on time, it is not impossible to complete. Looking at the previous life of China's infrastructure maniac, he could build a huge mobile cabin hospital in a few days and a century building in a few months. Why couldn't he do it?
With such a heartfelt voice coming out, Ying Zheng's face immediately darkened.
Does it work? It doesn't work, Xianyang Palace has been burned down, where will the gold come from? This kid is delusional.
Ying Zheng smiled successfully, but the next moment he sighed and said: "Li Zhao! You also know my situation. Xianyang Palace was burned down and I really can't get anything out of it, so I'm all relying on you."
This is a miserable act to win sympathy!
But hearing this immediately made Li Zhao's hair stand on end.
The emperor wants to default on his debts. Not only does he have to work hard, but he also has to pay for it. This is too arrogant and exploitative. This is a style that will destroy his foundation.
Suddenly my heart arose again.
[This old man is being cunning and goes back on something he clearly promised. Is there any emperor like this? Humph, since you deny it so much, I will make do with it. I won’t build the sewage system, nor will I install running water, let alone electricity. 】
When the emperor heard this, he glared at Li Zhao and thought: Slippery? Is this kid scolding me? Also, so what if I promised? Isn’t this a waste of money? If you run out of money, you will definitely have to pay it out. At most, I will give you tax exemption for three years. What's even more annoying is that you don't even install this, sewage system? Tap water?
Although he couldn't understand it, it seemed to be very profound and must be something good, but Dian understood it.
That kid didn't install the electricity. He was looking for death. He was going to get angry. Li Zhao's inner voice arose again.
[Originally I planned that if you didn’t take Lin Yuan’s interest, I would install things that ordinary people couldn’t touch and make Afang Palace the greatest palace. However, this is no longer necessary at this moment. 】
Ying Zheng felt his heart twitch when he heard this.
It is something that cannot be touched again, and curiosity is raised again. What exactly is something that cannot be touched? His heart felt even more itchy, but this boy didn't pretend?
Another death-seeking rhythm.
Ying Zheng's face turned dark instantly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to build Afang Palace and give Da Qin a brand new palace." Li Zhao handed over his hand again, seemingly without any selfish motives, but the emperor knew exactly what he was thinking.
The emperor thought to himself: No matter how hard you try, can Xiao Jiujiu be able to hide that little thing in your heart from me?
But he did not say it, but patted Li Zhao on the shoulder and said with appreciation: "Yes, you are worthy of being my good minister, but I have a request, that is, it must be completely different from Xianyang Palace. By the way, I thought of a good one." Objects, you must also install them.”
Li Zhao's eyes became strange. What good thing could the emperor think of? But don't worry about it. What good things can the uncivilized people like Da Qin think of? At most, they can build a bronze bird platform like Cao Cao to lock Er Qiao, the emperor! Just like this.
But the emperor's words really shocked him.
"The sewage system, running water, etc. must be installed, and electricity is also indispensable. By the way, your speakers are also indispensable. The city walls must be reinforced, so use this material!"
He pointed to the wall.
This is a wall made of steel plates.
Li Zhao felt like crying without tears, and looked at Ying Zheng as if he had seen a ghost.
Sewage system? Tap water? How did the Word Emperor know this time? He never said that! Does Great Qin already have these things?
Is there any city wall like this wall? This is going to make Shanglinyuan bankrupt! How long must the walls of the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine palaces be? Even if the entire Qin Dynasty tried to sell iron, they still wouldn't be able to produce that much iron.
"Okay, it's settled. I'm tired too. Please step back!" Obviously, the emperor didn't want Li Zhao to bargain anymore, so he issued an order to expel Li Zhao, and soon a waiter sent Li Zhao out.
Standing outside, Li Zhao really wanted to cry. I am afraid that from now on, Shanglinyuan will have to tighten his pants and live a life of peace.
Fortunately, there is still the stock market. Although the stock market is almost at a standstill during this period, everything has passed and you can continue to make money. Of course, another plan can also start.
That is to develop the real estate industry, which is a hugely profitable industry. All the funds for the construction of Afang Palace can be easily earned back, but the land must be acquired.
The emperor had previously said that the land around Afang Palace would be given to him, but this matter had not yet been put on the agenda. Although the emperor promised verbally, he did not implement it.
But he ignored it, struck first, and then reported back slowly.
As soon as he returned to Li's house, a servant came to bring him the housekeeper's suggestion. Of course he accepted it and approved it with both hands.
Xianyang and even the entire Qin Dynasty were in a state of food shortage. If he suddenly increased the quantity, even if he sold it at a high price, he would be robbed. However, he was not that evil. Food was the foundation of the country's stability. If something went wrong, even if the emperor did not blame him, it would lead to trouble. People are angry, he is not an unscrupulous businessman, and sometimes he is very conscientious.
In this way, I am afraid that I will make a lot of money again, which will just provide the preliminary funds for the reconstruction of Afang Palace, which is good.
But the next step was to rebuild the Afang Palace. It took him three months to build the huge Afang Palace with 9,999 palaces. I am afraid that no one has done it in history, and even in previous societies, there was no such thing. feat.
"It will take a huge amount of manpower to rebuild Afang Palace in three months. This means I can recruit people in such a short period of time. It must be at least hundreds of thousands of people!"
It should be noted that Qin Shihuang spent 300,000 civilians when he built Afang Palace, and it took a long time to complete it. These three months were a bit stressful!
Moreover, the people of Daqin are not familiar with new items such as cement, which will directly affect the progress of the project.
"Do you want to get some machines out?"
Most of the construction in the previous life used machines, such as mixers, transporters, elevators, cranes, soil compactors, etc. These can speed up the construction progress. It would definitely be good if used, but the problem is that this is Daqin. It's not the society of the previous life. I wonder if the appearance of such strange things would scare those people?
"Ignore it. If we finish it in three months, we can only use these things." Li Zhao made a cruel decision.
It is difficult to complete such a huge project in such a short period of time with raw manpower alone.
As for whether there are professionals to operate these machines, he is not worried. As the school develops, a large number of students can be recruited.
"But for now, let Ah Chao produce a large amount of steel. The brick workshops must also take action, and the decoration material workshops cannot stop."
"There are also electrical appliance workshops that are going to expand their production and increase their varieties."
When fans were first produced, electrical appliance workshops were opened, but the output was not large and the scale was smaller. But it is different now. With the popularization of electricity, there will be a demand for a large number of electrical appliances, and the small scale is a constraint.
What's more, Epang Palace requires a lot of electrical appliances, not to mention the real estate to be developed.
