Chapter 1272 Ruins of the Wu Palace
The onlookers in the shed were discussing loudly at this time, and most of the poor identities stood outside and listened, and were also discussing at this time. Outside the construction site, the nearby people heard that Qinghe Hou came to inspect the unfinished project and all surrounded him excitedly. In an instant, tens of thousands of people gathered outside the fence of the construction site, bustling and bustling.
The Gusu shopping mall in front of us is almost the most concerned topic among the people of Wuzhong from the beginning of planning to the start of construction. The investment of 20 million yuan is also the largest investment in Wuzhong's history. Almost all people who have never visited Xianyang and Luoyang and have seen large shopping malls hope that this mall will be completed as soon as possible, so that they will have the fun of shopping malls.
Xianyang people have been shopping in shopping malls for several years. Daqin Metropolis Daily and travelers from all over the country have also turned the praises of the Cuju shopping mall in Xianyang, and have fascinated the people of Wuzhong who have never seen large shopping malls. They all hope that Wuzhong will build a large shopping mall as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, after much anticipation, a large merchant raised money to invite designers from the Engineering Design Institute of the Academy of Sciences. The construction team had officially started construction, but unexpectedly, the foundation project was shut down. It took two or three months to stop the construction site, and the grass was deserted. I heard that several merchants involved in the investment could no longer bear the pressure and left Wuzhong to find another place to make a living.
But just at the stall where the people of Wuzhong were extremely disappointed, the world-famous Qinghe Hou actually came to the construction site to inspect it in person. I heard from insiders that Qinghe Hou came here to help solve the difficulties encountered in this project.
As the scrambles of different classes, more and more people gather around the construction site, and several nearby streets were blocked.
"Wuzhong and Xianyang have completely different climates and scenery, and it is not appropriate to put them together. Xianyang has the style of Xianyang, and Wuzhong naturally should have the style of Wuzhong. Complete transplantation of such high-rise buildings does not conform to the local characteristics..."
"The Tao follows nature and adapts to the local style according to the landscape geography. Do not copy it indiscriminately. When we design buildings, remember to adapt to local conditions and follow the principles of the natural way of nature. The best design is to make the perfect combination of architecture and local scenery, and to reach the highest level of architectural design..." Chen Xu turned to look at designer Li Dong when he spoke.
"What the Marquis criticized is that my subordinates should listen to the Marquis' teachings!" Li Dong bowed his hands with a red face.
"It's good to remember. Since you have arrived in Wuzhong, then in the future, you will study the characteristics of Jiangnan water towns. You don't want height or big, but you'll want perfection. Small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and platforms, lotus flowers and willows, bamboo and stone paths, so that all buildings can be perfect and harmonious with nature, so that people can linger in it. Although they are in the city, they are in the beautiful scenery of the mountains and fields..."
"The Marquis' words are profound and the truth of heaven, and we have also received teachings!" Jiang Heng and many famous merchants bowed together to praise him.
"I will discuss the matter of preparing for the university later. Please accompany me to visit the ruins of the King of Wu Palace and roughly study and plan how to start this pedestrian street!"
"Yes, let's go to the Palace of King Wu to see it. The Marquis's description is so great that we can't wait to see the prosperous situation after the repair of the Commercial Pedestrian Street!"
"Go together!"
A group of people surrounded Chen Xu excitedly and left the construction site. Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of onlookers, riding straight to the ruins of the Wu Palace in the southeast city.
The Palace of Wu was built by King Fuchai of Wu from tens of thousands of slaves, and many of them were said to be given by King Goujian of Yue. In the collapsed ruins, in addition to the large amount of stone beast remains and gravel bricks and tiles, countless giant trees as the backbone of the corridor are more than one meter in diameter. Although they have been abandoned for more than a hundred years, they have not completely rotted. They are now flooded by dense forests and thorny vines.
The terrain of the King of Wu is slightly higher than the surrounding areas, because the foundation is filled with slaves several feet high, and the highest main palace hall is as high as five feet high. Even though the ruins are now covered with forests and weeds, the huge scale can still show the spectacular scene of the continuous buildings in the halls.
Unfortunately, King Fuchai of Wu was extremely desperate to build such a large-scale palace complex. However, after the Wu Kingdom was annexed by Yue Kingdom, the Wu Palace was also robbed and abandoned. Later, the Chu Kingdom captured Wuzhong, and the Wu Palace was destroyed again and completely abandoned. Now, more than a hundred years have passed, this huge building that consumes a lot of money and money has only left the desolate scenery in front of him.
"Not bad, this place is big enough. Just clean up the collapsed ruins and repair them slightly. The lakes, ponds, ditches and rivers here also need to be dug and built. Although the project volume is a bit large, as long as the development is successful, it will inevitably become the most prosperous and lively area in Wuzhong..."
Accompanied by Jiang Heng and others, Chen Xu visited the ruins of the Wu Palace again. Although he was just a quick look at the periphery, most of the architectural layout and the location and direction of the ponds, waters, rivers and ditches were also explained clearly by accompanying people.
Half an hour later, a group of people rested under the willow trees beside a pond outside an abandoned palace. In the pond, in addition to a few buffaloes soaking in water, there were also a group of children playing inside.
"What do you have to experience after seeing the ruins of the King of Wu Palace?" Chen Xu decided to take the test of designer Li Dong.
"The ruins of the King of Wu Palace are large enough, with rivers, ditches, lakes and ponds. The subordinates have just roughly calculated that according to the terrain and layout, about 200 wooden buildings can be built, plus the vacant land and ponds in low-lying places, dam bridges, and relying on the terrain to create a pavilion, loft and stone path corridor. The cost may be much more than 20 million yuan, but the scale is incomparable. It is almost equivalent to rebuilding a town with a population of tens of thousands. The main hall of the royal palace at the highest point, and the subordinates think that a three-story main building can be built as a large jingyuan and restaurant..."
Li Dong took a few pieces of hemp pulp and paper with various data written on the ground when he was just visiting, and began to tell his views in accordance with the surrounding scenery.
"Well, this idea is good, but remember not to change the terrain too much according to local conditions. Remember, natural harmony is the most important thing, especially if the trees can be preserved, you can also make some strange stones around Zhenze to embellish them and plant some bamboo and plants. These will not cost much..."
"Yes, I must keep in mind the orders of the Marquis!" Li Dong nodded repeatedly while listening, and took a pencil to write down what Chen Xu said on the paper.
Hundreds of officials, merchants, gentry and famous scholars who followed gathered around to listen to the two people's discussions. Sometimes, some people put forward some different opinions and ideas. After being affirmed by Chen Xu, more people participated in the discussions, and the noise was extremely lively.
Time flies, and the sun gradually sets westward. Chen Xu leaves the ruins of the Wu Palace and returns to Wuhu Garden to eat, drink and rest, and then discusses the design and plan of the commercial pedestrian street.
Because of this, Chen Xu's original plan to go to Hangzhou was delayed for two days. After two days of planning, the design and planning drawings of this commercial pedestrian street were roughly released. After calculations by Li Dong and several subordinates, the investment of this new project called Gusu Commercial Street exceeded 40 million.
Faced with this brand new project and huge investment, Zhang Xun and his two companions were excited and felt unbearable.
The two million investment invested by Gusu Shopping Mall has just been wasted. If you invest another 40 million, you will be afraid that you will not be able to deal with the debt if you grind them into meat sauce and sell them.
"The Gusu Commercial Building is located in a good location, the size is appropriate, and the foundation has been laid. The county government will collect it as official land to build a university. The two million yuan will be spent from the treasury. The county magistrate Jiang wrote a memorial to deliver it to Xianyang. I will issue the approval at that time!"
"Yes, the master will do the same!" Jiang Heng quickly agreed.
"Are you satisfied with this kind of handling?" Chen Xu turned around and asked Zhang Xun and others.
"Satisfied with me, I will never forget the great kindness of the marquis!" Zhang Xun and his two companions were immediately overjoyed and bowed and thanked each other.
"No need to thank me. In fact, it is the court that has benefited from you. However, you need to raise funds for the commercial pedestrian streets by yourself and re-start the construction. If you feel that the pressure is too great, you can expand the financing channels and scale of investment promotion. Of course, you can also divide the project into two phases and three phases for development and construction. The wood and stone used for the construction can be raised near Wuzhong. Because the two- or three-story wooden buildings have very small load-bearing and in order to save large wood, old bamboo can be used instead of steel to pour a few load-bearing columns as support. This can greatly speed up the construction time and cycle. Cement is quite sufficient compared to steel. I can write a handwritten warrant, and you can go to the nearest cement factory to order..."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, with this arrangement by the Marquis, we will definitely build the commercial street!" Zhang Xun and others thanked and promised repeatedly.
"Then let's make arrangements like this. This plan for the inspection of the Tan Road is quite busy, so I can't continue to stay in Wuzhong. I will take my family to the Hangzhou Silk Factory for inspection and tour and leave. You can take care of yourself. The future development of Wuzhong is unlimited. The sooner you invest, the sooner you benefit. Also, the land of the ruins of the King of Wu Palace is not for nothing. For specific matters, please discuss with the magistrate of Jiang County to compensate the court. Remember to make reasonable and reasonable..."
"Don't worry, the forest land has always been under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and the county government will definitely not dare to sell it for nothing. At that time, the land of Gusu Commercial Building also approved the right of occupancy of 300 yuan per acre to the Shaofu according to the homestead. All houses in the Commercial Pedestrian Street will also be reported to the Shaofu in this way. As for the annexes such as pavilions and lofts, there is no need to rely on. I wonder if the Marquis has a prompt!" Jiang Heng replied.
"You can do it without any prohibition on the law. You don't need to ask me about these things. However, such a large-scale project can also be discounted in terms of land transfer fees. With good conditions, Wuzhong can attract more people to invest and develop faster and better!"
"Yes, Marquis!"
"Well, I'll say goodbye, take care of you!" Chen Xu turned over the horse. At this time, all the family and servants and guards who were accompanying him had already got on the carriage and horses. The chariots and horses were arranged on the road outside Wuhu Garden like a long dragon.
“Out ~”
"Go~Go~"
Dozens of cars and hundreds of horses went south under the crosswalk of tens of thousands of Wuzhong people, and the goal was not far away, just four hundred miles away in Hangzhou.
