Zhu Youxiao was really excited.

How come I didn’t know there was such a book before?

"Your Majesty, you know that the palace in Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty was completed in just 10 months. Later, the main hall where Li Shimin admired Wei Zheng was demolished from the palace, and then it was built from demolition to construction in five days.

, not only is it fast, but the quality is also very good!" Zhang Haogu added on the side.

"I'm getting more and more curious!" Zhu Youxiao rubbed his hands: "Master, if there is such a book, you should have told me earlier!"

Zhang Haogu smiled: "It was my negligence!"

The book "Building French Style" almost represents that ancient Chinese architecture has developed to a higher stage. There is no need to produce any special materials at all, and the proportions are scientific and reasonable. The height-to-width ratio of standard wood sections must be 3:2

!

The overall dimensions of the building, whether it is width, depth, height, or slope, are multiples or fractions of standard materials.

The most amazing thing is that this ratio is very scientific, consistent with the mechanical calculations of modern buildings, and the stress is more uniform and reasonable. Hundreds of years later, many ancient buildings of the Tang and Song Dynasties are still strong.

However, by the Qing Dynasty, not only were there no standard materials with consistent proportions, but the architectural proportions also changed from the scientific 3:2 to 6:5 or even 5:4, which is close to a square.

It has gone back hundreds of years.

From the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, history experienced many major changes.

The most violent thing is that the Mongolians have been struggling all over the world. Technical books and the craftsman traditions and wisdom passed down orally and heart-to-heart have not been passed down, which is equivalent to the loss of the core technology.

Although Yongle Dadian is said to have copied the "Building French Style".

However, when Zhu Youxiao took the book over, he was a little dumbfounded. He understood every word in the book, but when they were put together, he didn't understand.

It’s all industry jargon and slang.

Zhu Youxiao felt a headache coming on.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, we can take our time!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "I think it is better to look around the capital to see if there are any buildings from the Tang and Song Dynasties. We can demolish them, and then,

Let’s push back again!”

This "Building French Style" was also passed down to later generations. It was Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin who wanted to decipher it at that time, and finally discovered an extremely well-preserved wooden Guanyin Pavilion from the Liao Dynasty in Jinmen.

Then, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin compared the "Building French Style" and the architecture of Guanyin Pavilion and deduced the coded terms in the book bit by bit, and then unearthed the secrets.

There was still one Yuan Dynasty between the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and there was a gap of nearly a hundred years. Although the book has been preserved, basically not many people can understand the industry terms in it.

Zhang Haogu believed in Zhu Youxiao's talent as a carpenter.

Let this child study and ponder it carefully, maybe he can actually decipher the industry terms.

If some of the experiences passed down by ancestors can be carried forward, it is best to carry them forward, and then slowly improve them after they are done well, then start to establish the standardization process of the Ming Dynasty.

for the rest of the time.

Zhu Youxiao happily took out one million taels of silver from his internal funds and threw it to the Ministry of Accounts.

Let the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works negotiate.

Li Changgeng, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Chen Daoheng, the Minister of Industry

These two people are already being targeted by Eunuch Wei. In addition, there are also the Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister of Works. These two departments are already being targeted by Eunuch Wei.

The main thing is that they dare to reach out and take this money.

What awaits them is the prison sentence of the factory guards.

Zhu Youxiao began to preside over a demolition work.

In the capital of this era, there are still many buildings from the Tang and Song Dynasties. After demolishing one of them, and then slowly working backwards, we can slowly understand what is so wonderful about this "Building Method".

Zhang Haogu was by Zhu Youxiao's side.

A lot of carpenters were arranged to research and analyze day and night.

After analysis, perform data analysis and statistics.

Zhang Haogu's intention is to translate "Building French Style" into vernacular. You can't make this thing so advanced that you can't even understand it, otherwise it will be shelved.

It must be translated into vernacular and it must be understandable.

In addition, some mathematical analysis is being added.

Only Zhang Haogu can do this part of the task. In addition to Zhang Haogu, Zhang Ruitu is also responsible for keeping records of Peipianpidian. Now he has completely embraced Zhang Haogu's thigh and has no moral integrity. He can do whatever he is asked to do.

What to do.

Simply the best tool man.

When Zhang Haogu, Zhu Youxiao, and many carpenters were discussing.

Zhang Ruitu was recording everyone's thoughts.

It's not just dismantling it, the most important thing is to be able to assemble it.

This thing is somewhat similar to the mortise and tenon toys of later generations.

It's just dozens of times bigger.

The mortise and tenon structure does indeed require unique expenditures. It is said that foreign experts made an architectural model imitating the Forbidden City and used it with an earthquake simulator to finally increase the strength to 10.1.

The result was shocking - after continuous and violent shaking, the model still stood firmly in place, with only slight displacement.

This shows how stable its structure is.

Zhu Youxiao was completely obsessed with it. He was studying it every day and thinking about how to translate this "Creation Method".

He found that there were still many interesting things in it.

There is a method called splicing columns, which consists of two sections, three sections, and four sections. Each piece of wood is composed of 2-4 pieces to form a whole column, and "hidden drums" and "wedges" are used inside between each piece of wood.

The joints are made of iron ju, and the surface is covered with "Gai Ju Ming Gu Mao".

In this way, there is no need for big trees. These big trees all grow in the remote mountains and old forests. The merchants who collect the wood have to brave the miasma, step on poisonous snakes and insects, and it takes several months to drag the big trees to the river and transport them away.

The price is extremely high.

If you use the column-joining method, you can save a lot of money.

Zhang Haogu must admit that Zhu Youxiao is somewhat talented in this area.

Soon the boy had figured out some of the principles, and then he made a very small model according to the proportions and quickly assembled it.

Pocket version of the figure!

In addition, "Building French Style" was also written in as vernacular as possible by Zhang Haogu.

It’s just so that more craftsmen can understand it.

However, as the number of words increases, a lot of paper is taken up.

It's okay if it's full of professional terms and slang, but once translated into vernacular, it's close to more than six million words.

In addition, there are various pictures and proportions.

It can be said that if it is really translated, it will be a huge project.

However, Zhang Haogu also has methods.

Translate professional terms directly into vernacular. If you don’t understand, just look at the vernacular translation.

While Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao were working in an orderly manner, factory guards were also taking action.

After obtaining the key evidence, Eunuch Wei directly took his filial sons and grandsons to capture Li Changgeng, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Chen Daoheng, the Minister of Industry, and threw them into imperial prison.
Chapter completed!
