Magistrate Deng followed Shen Yong with a grin on his face, pointing at the plaque on the palace's plaque that read "Qianhuang Palace".
"Your Highness, these four words were written by the old lady herself."
When he first wanted to make this plaque, he was really troubled.
It was Xie Yutang who gave him an idea and asked him to ask Old Madam Shen to write an inscription.
In the entire Qianhuang City, the only person who is qualified to write the inscription for the plaque of the palace is the old lady.
Shen Yong looked up at the plaque and nodded, “Not bad!”
Mrs. Shen was from a prominent family after all, and her handwriting was indeed beautiful, with both elegance and grandeur.
Deng Yushan looked at Shen Yong's satisfied expression, grinned, and followed Shen Yong into the palace.
"Your Highness, this is the main hall—Chengyun Hall, the highest-standard hall in the palace."
Chengyun Hall is the main hall for sacrifices, so it must be very important.
Shen Yong nodded and looked around.
I have to say that the craftsmen really put a lot of effort into it. The pillars on the corridor are carved with lifelike five-clawed dragons.
A magnificent palace was built for him at the cost of the lives of nine clansmen, so he must protect these people.
Continue walking inside, and you will reach the Longteng Palace where Shen Yong lives.
The name of this temple is well deserved. There are dragon totems everywhere, which looks quite imposing.
Magistrate Deng was so excited when he saw the transparent glazed windows that his eyes became envious.
"Your Highness, this is the Danfeng Palace, where the future princess will live."
Chen Yong looked at the lifelike phoenixes everywhere in the Danfeng Palace, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
These craftsmen really have their stuff.
The future princess.....Chen Yong grinned.
Deng Yushan looked at Chen Yong's happy smile, and the corners of his mouth also rose.
"This is the Tianbao Palace where the old lady lives."
The main feature of the old lady's palace is low-key luxury and connotation, and the Azure Dragon and White Tiger protect the Tianbao Palace.
Shen Yong walked into Madam Shen’s palace and smelled the scent of sandalwood as soon as he entered the main hall.
The tables, chairs and benches in the main hall are all made of rosewood.
The east wing has floor-to-ceiling windows, and the first rays of sunlight in the morning shine into the room, making it bright.
Deng Yushan looked at the entire wall of French windows and exclaimed in shock,
"It's so bright, there's almost no difference between the inside and the outside. In the winter, I can sit by the window and bask in the sun without being blown by the wind or rained on!"
Seeing such a bright and spacious room, he wanted to renovate his own yard.
However, not everyone can use such fine colored glass.
Chen Yong smiled and looked at Deng Yushan, "You can take the remaining glass."
The remaining glass was enough to fill Deng Yushan's yard.
Deng Yushan played an indispensable role in the perfect construction of the palace.
Especially the courtyards of the sisters-in-law, all of which have their own names, so he can tell which sister-in-law's courtyard it is at a glance.
The bathroom is also perfectly decorated and the flushing pipes are very clean.
The ancients were really smart.
How stupid can a person who can pass through layers of selection and become one of the officials among thousands be?
A gentleman may not be completely proficient in the six arts, but he is much better than the average person.
Even a bookworm who only studies hard can never become a prefect.
Deng Yushan's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly bowed and saluted.
"I bow down in gratitude for your great grace, Your Highness! Your grace is like the brightness of the sun and moon, illuminating my heart. This reward is a testament to Your Highness's deep love and trust in me. I will doubly cherish it and do my utmost to repay Your Highness's kindness!"
Deng Yushan spoke these words very smoothly.
These are words that come from his heart.
There are so many pieces of glass, any one of them would be worth a fortune.
The prince gave him all these as rewards, how could he not be excited.
He wouldn't sell any of this glass, but would store it all in his yard.
These are all symbols of identity and status.
In the entire Qianhuang City, only the Qianhuang Palace and the Deng Palace have such glass.
When the prince becomes emperor in the future, those officials will know what position he holds beside King Qianhuang just by entering his house.
The more Deng Yushan thought about it, the more excited he became, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.
He wished he could call all the craftsmen back right now to renovate the yard for him.
Shen Yong smiled and looked at Deng Yushan, "Pick an auspicious day and hold a housewarming party."
The transformation of Qianhuang City is more than half completed.
Currently, only the residential houses and military camps on the east and west sides, as well as the four workshops at the south city gate are under construction.
Now the main work of the people is to build houses and military camps. It is almost October and the nights are getting colder. If the people spend the night outside, their bodies will not be able to bear it.
The workshop can be built slowly after the people's houses are built.
Qianhuang City is now roughly divided into five areas.
In Dongcheng, the expanded area of more than 20 miles was all turned into large military camps and small courtyards.
Ordinary soldiers shared a large bunk bed with ten people, and ten households shared a room with five people.
Each household has two people sharing a room.
A thousand households could be allocated a single room, and the higher the official rank, the bigger the house.
The Duwei's house was originally a small courtyard house, where families could live together, and it was no problem for more than ten people to live together.
In Xicheng, all the houses have been converted into residential houses, and each house is a small courtyard structure.
A small courtyard is formed by houses on four sides, including the north house (main house), the south house (back house), the east wing and the west wing.
You can also grow some vegetables in the yard.
All the people living within the scope of the expansion of the east and west city walls were moved into the West City by lottery based on population.
Because the houses were distributed according to households by drawing lots, the people who had originally lived together for three generations, under the temptation of large blue brick and tile houses, began to separate their families.
If the family is not divided, three generations will form one household, and twenty or thirty people can only get one house.
If a family has three sons and they split up the family property, they can get three houses at once.
At this time, the elders who still refuse to separate the family will be spitted to death by the villagers.
Even if we don't divide the family now, we will still have to divide it in the future because there will be many grandchildren and grandchildren.
When the time comes to split up, I’ll have to build my own house.
Four workshops have been planned to be built in the expanded area of the South City. The dormitories of the workshops are also built in the style of large bunk beds in military camps. A 50-square-meter house can accommodate ten people without appearing crowded.
Each dormitory in the workshop is equipped with a toilet for workers to wash and defecate.
The expanded area in the north city has been transformed into a training ground, and the original parade ground is still next to the training ground.
In addition to the four cities in the east, west, south and north, there is also a central city centered on the royal palace.
In fact, the palace is a little bit to the north of the city, but it is still within the central city.
The houses around the palace had long been taken up by officials and aristocratic families from Qianhuang City.
