When Dou Yan went to Shanxi this time, people from the six yamen had to accompany him to facilitate local coordination and deployment.
He was the civil engineering supervisor of Tokyo. Before Luoyang was built, all the local governors were appointed by him. Besides, he was also the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the central minister of the third rank.
The stone materials have been solved. Changping County is enough to ensure the supply. The top of Taihang is not a joke. They dug up the land and dug down for about ten meters, and it was all stones.
Changping County consists of six counties: Danchuan, Qinshui, Duanshi, Yize, Gaoping and Lingchuan. Its administrative seat is Danchuan, which is Gaodu Town, Zezhou County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province.
Among the six counties, Lingchuan County alone can guarantee all the materials used in Luoyang, because this county is located at the top of the southern mountain range of the Taihang Mountains, directly bordering Hanoi County in Henan.
The stone here has the highest hardness and the best material. Later generations would use heavy machinery to dig it, which would be extremely laborious.
The key is that there is also marble, as well as red clay and limestone everywhere.
The materials are picked up from here, but the transportation still needs to go from Danchuan County to Henan, because there are almost no roads between Lingchuan County and Henan.
The famous hanging wall highway in later generations was designed to connect Lingchuan County and Henan Province, but it does not exist now.
Now, people can go over the mountains and ridges slowly, but horses can't. This is almost an isolated and semi-closed area. The county was just established in the early years of the founding of the emperor.
The next thing to consider is the wood.
Dou Yan had already set off yesterday and took many people to Changping County.
At today's court meeting, the discussion was about where to get the wood.
In fact, in feudal eras like the Sui Dynasty, there was no shortage of wood, vegetation damage was not serious at all, and aniseed could be found everywhere.
But good wood must come from the south.
What Prince Yang Zhao means is that good materials must be used in the palace city. There is no doubt about this. As for other places, local materials can be obtained from surrounding areas.
During the court meeting, Pei Ju recommended a man named Wu Hua, who was the largest timber merchant in Shanxi. This man could supply part of the timber. The court would not pay for it, but he could be compensated by being given an official position afterwards.
Pei Ju is still an upright person. If he were replaced by Yang Su, would he still give you a replacement position? Dream on, just keep working for nothing.
Luoyang is built for the country, so cutting down trees naturally does not cost money, but this kind of thing has to be careful. You can't just chop down a big tree with an ax when you see it.
Professional things should be left to professionals, just like the brick and ash kiln in Changping County. Not everyone can do it.
Businessmen are people from the lower class. No matter how rich you are, you are still a low-class person. But if you spend some money to become an official and become a high-class person, everyone will be happy.
Wu Hua must also be happy. This man is Wu Zetian's grandfather, whose ancestral home is Wenshui, Shanxi.
"I think it works," Yang Ming nodded in agreement.
Yang Da also nodded: "This person can be given a try. We need to send someone to recruit him immediately."
Prince Yang Zhao smiled: "The atmosphere of today's court meeting is quite harmonious. Next, we will discuss where the wood used in the palace city should be transported."
Near noon, a conclusion was reached. The materials for the palace were supplied from Jing and Yang, where there were pine and fir trees that were most suitable for building the palace. ….
Pine wood is also available in the north, but the material is quite different from the southern species. Northern pine is too oily and not fireproof.
There is golden nanmu in some areas of Jing and Yang. In the Sui Dynasty, it was called nanmu. It is a relatively precious wood. This material is also found in Daxing Palace, but not much.
Sichuan also has good materials, but transportation is too laborious.
After many discussions, the transportation of wood to the palace alone would cost 200,000 manpower.
There are records in history: Two thousand people drag a pillar with a hub underneath it... but they can't advance more than thirty or twenty miles in a day. If one column is roughly calculated, hundreds of thousands of efforts have been used, and the remaining cost will be too much.
Yang Ming had no choice. He dared to raise opinions on this matter, which was unfilial. After all, Miyagi City was where his father lived. He really offended Yang Guang. Whether he would be able to attend court meetings in the future would be questionable.
is a problem.
So he still moved out the sixteen pieces of eucalyptus. Just be extravagant, as long as it doesn't kill as many people.
The main person in charge of the timber is Yang Da, while the palace timber is left to Liu Su, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Historically, Yang Da also formed a marriage with the Wu family because of his work in Luoyang, and became Wu Zetian's grandfather.
Liu Su immediately set off for Yuzhang County in Jingzhou to take charge of the work. If the court had any additional supplements, they would be delivered to him by the official post.
Yang Ming has been very busy these days and is very tired.
When he got home, it was already afternoon. After visiting the princess and his son, he called Nuan Dong Liang Xia to massage his body.
At this time, Xu Jing came in again,
"The eldest son of Tang Guogong, Jiancheng, asks for an audience."
"Just say I'm taking a rest, no see you," Yang Ming didn't waste time on Jiancheng. He didn't want to waste the rare afternoon rest.
After a while, he fell asleep.
.......
Li Jiancheng couldn't see Yang Ming, so he could only return home angrily.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Yuan asked eagerly: "How is it? Does King Qin agree?"
Jiancheng shook his head: "We haven't seen each other yet. His Highness has been resting since he went to court. I heard from the housekeeper that His Highness was very tired during this period. Can we go at another time?"
"What do you know," Li Yuan scolded: "The King of Qin is now worshiped as the construction supervisor of Tokyo. He will go to Luoyang soon. I don't know when he will come back after leaving. Your sister is already eighteen. Miss today If you suffer, there will be no chance in the future.”
With Yang Ming's help, Jiancheng has successfully matched with Pei Yun's daughter Pei Xi.
But according to superstition, there is a sister above Jiancheng. After her sister gets married, he will only be in compliance with the regulations if he gets married again.
So Li Yuan planned to marry his eldest daughter Li Xiuqing to Yang Ming, because under Yang Ming's princess and principal concubine, there was still an empty spot for a concubine, and the concubine was from the fourth rank.
After all, Yang Ming is now at the peak of his power. He first made him the King of Qin and then put an end to the rebellion in Bingzhou. Now he has the governor of Tokyo, and it is not a loss for his daughter to be a concubine.
With this relationship, Yang Ming can help his eldest son make arrangements in the future.
The boss of Jiancheng is quite old, but he is still just a candidate official. If he wants to become an official, he needs to be recommended by someone with weight. Yang Ming is undoubtedly the best candidate. ….
But since it was built, I'm sorry to go there anymore. I'm so tired, so how can I find the time to see an idle guy like him?
"Alas..." Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "You are so thin-skinned, what big things can you accomplish?"
But Jiancheng is very thick-skinned by his father. No matter how hard his father tries to eliminate him, he just won't go.
In the evening, Yang Ming woke up. He felt that he had a very comfortable sleep and woke up feeling refreshed.
So he asked Xu Jing to go to Tang Guogong's mansion and call Jiancheng to see what happened to this boy.
Li Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered his son to go out. Before leaving, he also prepared a portrait of his daughter.
As everyone knows, Yang Ming already knew what Li Xiuqing looked like.
"Is this the reason?" After Yang Ming closed the scroll, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Li Yuan was really willing to risk everything.
However, this portrait was obviously made by a famous craftsman, and it was even more realistic than the portrait he had seen from his grandmother Dugu Jialuo.
Jiancheng nodded sheepishly: "My sister is still beautiful, but she doesn't like to talk and is quite boring."
"Haha..." Yang Ming was amused by his words.
Are you a biological brother? How could he expose his sister's shortcomings like this?
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Is this what Tang Guogong meant?"
Jiancheng nodded hurriedly: "My mother and I are both willing. I say that Yang's brother is a member of the royal family. My sister agrees to it, and it won't be a loss at all."
Yang Ming laughed so hard, of course not
Unfortunately, Li Yuan really had a good plan, and it was difficult for Jiancheng to be so sincere.
However, Yang Ming knew in his heart that Jiancheng was honest in front of him, but that might not be the case in front of others.
It doesn't matter if Li Xiuqing becomes her concubine. After all, if you marry your husband, you will follow him. Even if Li Yuan really has a chance to rebel in the future, Li Xiuqing will have nothing to do with his father.
Just as Liu Shu was convicted, Princess Yang Awu of Lanling would rather fall out with her brother Yang Guang than remarry.
"Tell Tang Guogong, choose a good day and send it here," Yang Ming said with a smile.
He was overjoyed when it was completed and quickly agreed and trotted out of the palace.
Although concubine has the word concubine, she is not an ordinary concubine. She has a rank. If Yang Ming is the emperor, then this position is equivalent to that of a noble concubine.
By accepting Li Xiuqing, at least for the moment, he can tie Li Yuan to his own ship. Don't underestimate Li Yuan. His branch is currently the most powerful branch of the entire Longxi Li clan.
Moreover, Li Yuan now takes over from King Cai Yang Zhiji and becomes General Zuoyu Linwei, directly responsible for the security work of Emperor Yang Guang.
But this time, he did not follow him to Luoyang, because Yang Guang took with him the right feather Lin Wei and Yu Wenshu's left guard, a total of 40,000 people.
Li Yuan's daughter-in-law, the Dou family, was also very powerful, with several princes, and the Dou family was the granddaughter of Yu Wentai, the leader of the Guanlong Group in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Yang Ming also made his decision based on this consideration. He now needs the support of more people.
Yang Yinjiang, Pei Shuying, and Li Xiuqing are all orthodox Guanzhong Group.
At the Duke's Mansion, Li Yuan was overjoyed after receiving the news and had already started preparing his daughter's dowry.
If Yang Ming was still the king of the county, Li Yuan would not be able to do this. If Yang Ming and Prince Yang Zhao had a bad relationship, Li Yuan would not be able to do this.
There have been rumors recently that the Crown Prince planned to depose the Crown Princess Cui. Li Yuan originally intended to send his daughter to the East Palace, but then he thought about it, even if the princess can be deposed, what will happen if his own daughter becomes a concubine and is not favored? More miserable?
After all, she was his biological daughter. Li Yuan couldn't bear to be so cruel, so he set his sights on Yang Ming.
As for Yang Jian, who had been awarded the title of King of Qi, Li Yuan did not consider it at all. This person was too sentimental and had a bad reputation.
I am marrying my daughter, not selling my daughter. .
