Chapter 888 Palace Model
Luo Chong was going to have them make a model of the palace. The Han tribe had now entered a stage of comprehensive strategic contraction and began to consolidate itself. The theme of this stage was storage and construction.
Grain had to be stored, coal and steel had to be stored, railways had to be built, and naturally the palace had to be built.
At present, except for the group of cannibals in the north, the Han tribe no longer had any enemies that they had to kill. The Tang tribe opposite Takuhai County was now on good terms with the Han tribe, and the Tang tribe was very humble. In the future, they would most likely be absorbed peacefully.
Therefore, the Han tribe was not far from founding a country, and they had to start preparing where they should.
Although it was a little unrealistic to start construction right away, it would probably take several years to design the appearance of the palace, then select a good address, select a person specifically responsible for supervising the construction of the palace, and then start preparing various building materials.
After these tasks were completed, they would start to gather manpower and craftsmen for construction, and the construction would be very fast.
"Palace? What is a palace? Is it a new type of house?"
The craftsman who just answered the question asked in confusion, and then he first looked at the drawing given by Luo Chong.
It was not a design drawing of a single building, but a floor plan of a huge building complex. There was only a square frame on the floor plan, so naturally the shape of the building could not be seen, but the floor area of each building and the floor area of the entire building complex could be seen from this floor plan.
After reading it, the craftsman named Mo Xin secretly took a breath.
Good guy, although he hadn't seen the specific shape of the building, just looking at the standing area of each building and the floor area of the entire building complex, he could feel the grand scale from this drawing, and a sense of shock appeared in his heart inexplicably.
"Is this a palace?!" The other five carpenters next to him also gathered around, looking at the drawing together, and couldn't help but secretly smack their lips.
"Chief, what kind of place is this? Why are our Han tribe building such a huge complex? It doesn't look like the cities in our counties now. There are houses, squares, and even artificial lakes?! What kind of place is this?" Mo Xin was shocked and couldn't help asking.
"Palace, didn't I say so?" Luo Chong paused and thought about how to explain it to them.
He pondered for a moment and said, "This is the imperial palace, the home of the leaders of the Han tribe in the future, and the core building of the largest capital of the Han tribe.
This place is not only for the leaders of the Han tribe to live in, but also the center of the entire tribe. For example, the three halls arranged along the central axis in the picture are actually places for officials and leaders to hold meetings.
You see, there is an altar for worshiping heaven and earth here, and there is also a Taimiao for worshiping ancestors here. This is my family's private court, and there are these side halls on both sides of the three main halls. This is the hall for holding state banquets, and this is the Privy Council, where the three provinces and six ministries will be housed
in the future. The latter are all private courtyards for living, with some sleeping palaces, pavilions, corridors, landscapes and the like.
The scale of this building will be very large, so it will be very troublesome to build. Shouldn't you know the purpose of making ship models? Ship models can not only show various details of actual ships, but also find a suitable plan for the actual construction process.
I asked you to make a model of this set of buildings. In fact, it is the same principle. "
Mo Xin and others nodded after listening. They almost understood that the leader wanted to build a home for himself in the largest capital of the Han tribe. This home should also have places for many officials to hold meetings and offices, and even places for large banquets. The backyard of the leader's house should not only be built in a grand manner, but also beautiful, with various landscapes.
Now this building is too complicated, so the leader hopes that they can make a set of models for preview, and use this model to leave a reference for the actual construction process.
It's that simple.
But is it really simple in reality?
No, no, no, Luo Chong's palace is really big. He absorbed several famous ancient buildings he knew, mixed their characteristics together, and finally had such a thing.
The theme of the palace is based on the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty, especially the three main halls of the palace complex arranged along the central axis, which are the Hanyuan Hall used by the front dynasty to hold grand court meetings, the Xuanzheng Hall used by the middle dynasty to handle daily government affairs and hold small court meetings, and the Zichen Hall at the end, which is used to handle special affairs and summon individual officials.
These three halls are lined up along the central axis, with tall que towers on both sides and pavilions connecting the que towers. Walking to both sides are the offices of the three provinces and six ministries. These places together constitute the "front dynasty".
The "back garden" in the back is mainly used for living. Luo Chong referred more to the design of the Daming Palace and the Old Summer Palace. The Daming Palace is magnificent, while the Old Summer Palace is more elegant and beautiful, especially the mixed Chinese and Western architectural style in the Old Summer Palace, which has the elegance of Su-style gardens. There is also Greek classical sculpture art, which Luo Chong likes very much.
Since it is the place where he will live, of course he wants to decorate it according to his favorite style.
In addition to these, there are some indispensable functional places, such as the imperial kitchen, Taiye Lake, and even the barracks of the imperial guards who defend the palace, which must also be within the palace.
In addition, Luo Chong also divided the entire palace complex into four parts. The middle part is the front court and the back court, which belongs to the emperor, and then there are the East Palace and the West Palace on the left and right. The East Palace is naturally where the crown prince lives, studies and works.
The West Palace was Luo Chong's first creation. He thought that after he abdicated early in the future, he couldn't stay in the harem. How could he let his son and himself use the same harem? After he retired, he would move to the West Palace. Go to the West Palace to retire, don't occupy other people's children's harem and make them upset.
To be honest, being an emperor is such a hard job, Luo Chong doesn't want to work until he dies. Aren't there many people who die of exhaustion as emperors?
Luo Chong's wish in this life is to establish the empire, sort out various rules and regulations, and put the entire empire on the right track. By that time, little Luo Cheng will be almost a teenager.
At that time, he will let the prince govern the country, let his son start to handle government affairs, and then retreat to the second line, guide his son when he has nothing to do, and then Luo Chong will find a quiet place to write books, or take the researchers of the Han tribe to climb the technology tree, and strive to leave books for future generations with everything he knows before he dies.
It is worth it that God specially arranged for him to travel to this world.
