After entering Qinwangzhuang, Li Chengqian directly stopped the guards and asked them to stay at the school grounds of Qinwangzhuang, while he just asked a few of Li Ke's guards to lead his carriage inside.
Li Chengqian and Concubine Su both looked at the scenery on both sides in amazement. They were a prince and a princess. They had seen both the East Palace and the Imperial Palace, but to be honest... Li Ke's architectural style of Qinwangzhuang , completely different from what they thought.
First of all, there are two rows of liquidambar trees on both sides of this flat and wide road. The liquidambar tree can be said to be full of treasures. The liquidambar resin, liquidambar fruit, roots, leaves and bark it secretes can be used as medicine, and the liquidambar tree secretes Liquidambar also emits fragrance and can be used to refine spices and perfumes, and the liquidambar tree can also be turned into excellent printing and dyeing materials.
At the same time, the liquidambar tree itself can also play an important role in improving soil fertility.
In addition, rows of wooden benches are placed on the roadside under the trees. In the future, when the liquidambar trees grow up, they can be used to enjoy the shade.
In addition, all the ground on both sides of the non-main road is paved with gray stone bricks similar to cement, which looks extremely clean. In addition, the most conspicuous place is that there are wooden piles at certain distances. This wooden stake looked fake, and Li Chengqian and Su Fei didn't know what it was used for.
And both Li Chengqian and Su Fei noticed that the roofs of all the buildings here were typical Tang style buildings, but the walls below were not. They should also be made of special cement or masonry and other materials. , and all their windows are glazed.
Regardless of whether it is the main room or the side room, the glass seems to be a double-layered window.
These buildings are separated by low walls as high as one person. These low walls should not be used to prevent assassinations or other functions. They should only be used to cover the privacy between courtyards.
In addition to this main road, Li Chengqian and Su Fei also saw many small roads during their travels, and there were areas on both sides of these small roads specially set aside for planting plants.
In fact, if a future generation sees it, they will find that this is a typical Suzhou garden style. It is just not as compact as Suzhou gardens, but the style is very similar. There are more than thirty kinds of courtyards of different styles, large and small. Each of the more than thirty courtyards has a different architectural style and different plants.
Not only the style of Suzhou gardens, but also later European style, Middle Eastern style, etc. Of course, in this world, these styles are all the architectural styles of the Tang Dynasty, because these areas have not formed a unified architectural style at all.
In fact, the style of Suzhou gardens in later generations was not fully formed in the Tang Dynasty. Li Ke's style was advanced, and Li Chengqian and Concubine Su were dazzled by it. Not to mention comparing it with the East Palace, even the newly built Daming Palace was In terms of scale and palace size, it is grander than the buildings here in Li Ke, but in terms of sophistication, it is not necessarily true!
At first, Li Chengqian thought this was shocking enough, until Li Chengqian's carriage arrived at the main park located in the center of Qinwangzhuang. The middle building was a three-story villa. Unlike the Duhu Mansion in Xizhou, the three-story building here was The villa is much more exquisite. First of all, it is the tallest building in the entire Qinwangzhuang. At the same time, its appearance made Li Chengqian stunned for a moment.
Its roof is also the cornice structure of the Tang Dynasty, but the cornices are not that big, and the periphery of its walls are all made of very beautiful bricks and stones, and all the windows on the front are very large, even many An entire wall is filled with windows!
These windows were not the wooden window frames they had seen before, but a unique material that looked like steel.
The huge glass inside is unusually transparent and bright.
In fact, this is the style of later modern Chinese villas.
When entering from the largest gate of this courtyard, there is a strange bush on the left. These bushes are built into various shapes as a whole, and some are even very similar to animals. Although the weather is dry and yellow now, it looks like It doesn't look like it originally, but...you can see how amazing Xia Tian is without even thinking about it.
There is also a pavilion in the center of the bush, and on the right side of the bush is an undulating, but withered lawn. The entire lawn is very large, which makes the view in front of the villa of the main building very wide. .
There is also a very large square in front of the main building. The square is still paved with special bricks, but these bricks are in different colors for the first time. A very large square is also paved on the square. Nice pattern, like an animal.
Li Ke was already waiting at the door with his people. When Li Chengqian's carriage came, Li Ke came directly to greet him.
"I've met my elder brother and sister-in-law!" Li Ke saluted with a smile.
"I have met the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." Everyone behind Li Ke saluted at the same time.
"Sanlang is exempt from courtesy. You and I brothers don't have to be so polite. You are also exempt from courtesy." Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand.
"Hey, how are you? Brother, my Qin Wangzhuang is well built, right?" Li Ke said with a smile.
Li Chengqian: "..." He was speechless, isn't it just good? If you really want to talk about it, your Qin Wangzhuang is better than my East Palace or even my father's Daming Palace!
"Didn't you go overboard?" Li Chengqian couldn't hold it back and said it anyway.
"Just go beyond the limit. I'll give you a handle, brother, so that you don't have an excuse to trouble me in the future." Li Ke said with a smile.
Li Chengqian was a little speechless. He stretched out his hand and punched Li Ke directly on the shoulder and said: "Go away, will it be my turn to cause trouble for you? You are here, the censor, they haven't discovered it yet. If they know it, every day There are people impeaching you in the court."
"Impeach. Anyway, I have done more outrageous things. Can they impeach me?" Li Ke shrugged. Overstep? It must be surpassed. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of area, Li Ke's Qinwangzhuang covers a total area of 25,000 acres, which is equivalent to 13.5 square kilometers, while Lao Li's Daming Palace only covers an area of 3.2 square kilometers. It's not as big as Li Ke, a fraction of the size of Qin Wangzhuang!
From this point of view, whoever plays like this will die except Li Ke.
But Li Ke has a lot of ideas. Hehe, he said it was Zhuangzi, but in fact, the entire Qinwangzhuang can be regarded as a small self-sufficient ecological manor, with almost everything in it.
"You..." Li Chengqian didn't know what to say. Li Ke was really not afraid of his father beating him.
