Chapter 273 Introduction to Yuwang Architecture
It’s time to show off the real technology!
Zhang Tianci, who was entrusted by Zhu Zaijing, under Zhu Zaijing’s advice and guidance, after a month of hard survey and re-drawing, he finally obtained the first phase of the capital expansion plan that was about to officially start construction. come out.
Zhu Zaijing looked at all the drawings of the first phase of the capital expansion project, which were hundreds of pieces of rice paper thick, and he was filled with emotions.
Zhu Zaijing praised Zhang Tianci, who already had panda eyes: "This is your first contribution! When the first phase of the project is completed, I will definitely ask for credit for you!"< br>
Zhu Zaijing unceremoniously drew another pie for Zhang Tianci.
Although Zhang Tianci had panda eyes, he still responded energetically, "If I can contribute such a small amount to the capital's expansion of my family, it will be worth it even if I die!"
Zhu After Zai Jing heard Zhang Tianci's words, he immediately laughed.
This Zhang Tianci is really good at talking.
Being able to participate in such a major project will certainly leave a mark in history, especially since this is the outer city project of the Ming Dynasty. This kind of project only happens once every few hundred years, and it is not always responsible for it. Anyone who draws and designs can leave their name.
But this time Zhu Zaijing gave Zhang Tianci an extremely glorious promise.
Zhu Zaijing promised that as long as the capital expansion project can be completed, he will ask the emperor to erect a stone tablet under the main gate of the newly completed outer city of the capital, and all important people involved in this project will be Leave your name on it so that they can be remembered forever.
Let future generations know that they have also contributed to the construction and development of this great eternal city in the past dynasties.
So Zhu Zaijing's move can be said to have grasped the hearts of these people, making them extremely willing to put in their best efforts and make the most perfect plan for this matter.
Zhu Zaijing looked at one of the floor plans of the first phase of the entire capital construction and said with emotion: "This picture is really good. If this can come true, this will be a great project that attracts worldwide attention and will be passed down through the ages. City!”
Zhu Zaijing's words immediately resonated with Zhang Tianci. When Zhang Tianci was originally asked by Zhu Zaijing to make this design, Zhang Tianci thought that all he had to do was to make some improvements based on his predecessors. The additional improvements make the city's defenses a bit better than before.
But as soon as this concept was revealed, it was directly overturned by Zhu Zaijing.
Zhu Zaijing said to Zhang Tianci at that time: "The intensity of war in the future will exceed everything you and I know about the present. Now we think we can build a majestic city that can withstand millions of troops. We think that as long as Building the city wall high enough and thick enough can resist all attacks. In fact, this is the way to death, which is no different from building a huge tomb.
“Because at some point in the future, a bomb will happen. The power may level a city with a radius of dozens of miles to the ground, and hundreds of thousands of people will be reduced to nothing in an instant! "
"So I believe that future city construction should be developed in the direction of the city. The first consideration should be livability, and the second is defense. ”
"But don't underestimate this, because in the future cities, as long as they are not attacked by devastating weapons, they can build layers of defenses based on houses like steel forests, even if they are hundreds of If Wan Dajun wants to break into it, he will have to pay an extremely heavy price to invade part of the city."
"Therefore, the future construction of the capital will be a new architectural concept, and buildings with brick and wood structures may be possible. It will no longer become the mainstream in the future. Therefore, this time the Capital Outer City is a pioneering and innovative feat, an epoch-making architectural upgrade!"
Although Zhang Tianci was a little excited when he heard this. , but still can’t understand the meaning of Zhu Zaijing’s words. Because the architectural style with brick and wood structures has been passed down for thousands of years, how can it be changed at any time?
Although it is difficult to find giant trees from ancient times in the Central Plains to make giant pillar roofs, there are still many giant trees in Yunnan and Guizhou that can be used.
As long as the imperial court needs it, can't these huge trees be cut down by manpower, and then pushed into the mighty rivers, flowing out of the deep mountains and valleys, and then transported to the capital for use?
But this view was also overturned by King Yu.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Although there are many giant trees, the giant trees in our land of China have been destroyed by our ancestors for thousands of years. If they are not protected and the architectural style is not changed, they will still be It is necessary to use various giant trees as the main building materials to make those exquisite double-eaves verandahs. These are very beautiful and majestic, but these wooden buildings will be destroyed by fire."
"From ancient times. Today, there are many dynasties in the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties, but which imperial capitals have been passed down? Which of them was not destroyed by war or man-made disasters? Since our Ming Dynasty pioneered and innovated, we must create something different from the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties. Architectural concepts, re-conceive and design a new architectural style that can influence hundreds or even thousands of years, making it complement the ancient buildings and shine brightly."
"And after this! Thousands of years of unrestrained logging have made the old land of Chang'an full of loess, and it no longer has the aura of prosperity during the Han and Tang Dynasties. At the same time, because the Yellow River surges down from there, it has lost the fixed vegetation. Loess and sediment were continuously brought into the river. Gradually, the Yellow River became a disaster, not only raising the river bed, but also repeatedly bursting the banks, poisoning the people on both sides of the river. "
"So, what we have to do now is not just a trivial matter of changing the way of architecture, but exploring a new way of harmony between man and nature for future generations!"
Zhu Zaijing's statement suddenly It was much higher, which gave Zhang Tianci a glorious spirit of pioneering the way. I thought I could really become the master who would change the world by changing the way of architecture.
Listening to what Zhu Zaijing just said, Zhang Tianci recalled excitedly what Zhu Zaijing said before.
He replied excitedly: "Your Majesty, as long as the building materials you mentioned can appear smoothly, all of my ideas can come true!"
Zhu Zaijing smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already sent people to test it, and the results should be available soon. Moreover, in order to cooperate with your new design, I have also changed the general construction ideas."
"The first project for the expansion of the capital this time is the construction of the underground drainage system of the capital, as well as some pipe line systems to be reserved for the future. Even if the ground construction is to be started, it will have to wait until a year and a half later. Therefore, You don’t have to worry that your design will not be used, because I will make it come true.”
To be honest, Zhang Tianci didn’t understand Zhu Zaijing’s answer.
He knew about drainage, and in order to understand this knowledge, Zhang Tianci also gained some knowledge about Quanzhou's architecture and learned in detail about the drainage project construction in the Song Dynasty.
But he couldn’t understand the reserved construction of the pipeline line system that Zhu Zaijing mentioned. Is there really pipelines and lines that can be buried in the ground in the future? But what are these pipes used for? What are these lines used for?
Is it some kind of mechanism technique that he hasn't understood yet?
Zhang Tianci was confused about this, but it didn't matter!
The important thing is that he should reserve all these spaces, and also leave the drawing information for future construction to prevent future people from digging through it when they renovate the capital.
