Chapter 341 Entering the Palace

The train left, but the people who didn't get off found that the few people who got on the train were in a heavy mood, and they didn't know what was going on.

Ye Bei thought that he had told the truth a few words, which obviously made them feel psychologically uneasy. Their common sense must be trying hard to overthrow Ye Bei's words, but they were all futile, so their face became more ugly and heavier.

However, having such an expression means that they are hopeless. Ye Bei knew that when Jiuzhou becomes stronger in the future, they will understand themselves more and more.

The train continued to move forward, and then he had no words to arrive in Zhongzhou safely, but the equipment was on the water route and it would take several days to wait.

Zhang Wu took them to the inn, which is the official hotel in Zhongzhou. The conditions were quite good. Although they were not as luxurious as the hotel, they were also bright and clean.

If Tonghai City is fashionable and modern, while Zhongzhou City is thick and solid, with the weathered ancient city wall standing tall and unfinished, the city streets are neatly planned. If it weren't for the streets of cars and bicycles, Ye Bei would have doubted whether he had come to ancient times. The times did not seem to have changed the appearance of this ancient city, making people feel like they were a different world.

The inn is a courtyard with glass on the windows, but the decoration inside is still very contemporary, just like the old antiques a hundred years ago.

People from Tonghai City were very curious, looking around, amazed at their room.

"Zhongzhou City is still the same." Lu Ruqiu is the person who is most qualified to say this: "It's like walking back from modern times to the past. The shape of the building and the style of the utensils are the same as before, but the city is much bigger."

Ye Bei also felt that he had traveled through time: "No wonder Qin Youwei invited us to Zhongzhou to shoot. I have to admit that this sense of heaviness cannot be restored in the studio by relying on the set. This is a feature of the city. Tonghai City is too fashionable and is completely different from Zhongzhou City."

When he arrived at the inn, Ye Bei could not rest because he had to contact various departments. After all, they would go to the palace to shoot at that time. It was a palace with a history of 1,200 years, and there must be many things to pay attention to.

Zhang Wu took Ye Bei to visit the Palace Maintenance Bureau and the Palace Catching House. Both of them were responsible for palace work. They also received the news in advance, waiting for Ye Bei.

So Ye Bei was taken into the vast palace city by them. Through the thick palace gate, he walked into the thousand-year history of Jiuzhou.

There is no one using the palace now, only a large number of maintenance personnel have to clean it every day.

"Many employees are the original eunuchs and palace maids. They are lonely and lonely. Commander Luo feels sorry for them and they are assigned to the Palace Maintenance Bureau and let them continue to stay in the palace to do some maintenance work. Anyway, it is the same as the work they did before." The director of the Maintenance Bureau is now the director of the Maintenance Bureau, and Wang Lin, who was also the assistant to the filming this time.

"Director Wang, how many staff are there in the palace now?" Ye Bei asked modestly.

"There are seven or eight hundred, and there are three or four hundred and four hundred that have retired because they are old, otherwise there will be more." "The palace has 9,999 rooms of all sizes and sizes, and more than 3,000 courtyards. Let's visit first. I'll tell you how many rooms you need to shoot a movie later. I'll arrange it for you." "But I'll explain in advance that some courtyards cannot be opened because of valuables."

"OK."

Passing through the thick palace gate and passing the first urn city, you will enter the vast stone brick square, which is where all civil and military officials line up during major ceremonies.

The innermost part of the square is the main hall.

"This main hall is only used during major festivals. Usually, the emperor usually goes to court in Hongyuan Hall. Although that hall is small, the Northern Emperors work in it. Generally, there are not many ministers, only a few, and even if there are many, there are only a dozen. Just when you are about to use the main hall, there must be a major event related to the rise and fall of the country, and dozens or hundreds of ministers are required to attend court together." Wang Lin led the way and explained: "Let's go to the main hall first."

The main hall is tall and wide. Stepping onto the white jade steps and crossing the high threshold, it is a piece of black flat floor tiles, and the golden dragon chaise is attracted to the eyes.

Ye Bei thought that he had split two dragon chaises, and this dragon chaise was not as generous as the other two dragon chaises. Then he looked up as if the roof was as far away as the sky, and countless thick pillars stood tall.

There is also an echo of speech. Even if someone stands at the door and speaks, the emperor in the innermost part can hear it clearly.

"It's really magnificent and domineering. It turns out that the feeling of looking at the real-time is completely different from the photo." Ye Bei said.

"That's true. Even foreigners are amazed when they come. They have never seen such a magnificent building." Wang Lin said proudly: "The main hall is undoubtedly the center of the palace. It is the palace that consumes the most materials and is designed the most. It is naturally unique. The entire palace has been repairing and revising for 1,200 years, so if we continue to visit, we can still see buildings of different dynasties and styles."

"Then let's keep going."

I couldn't finish seeing the palace in one day because it was too big and there were so many people walking. After walking for a long time, I only saw five or six yards. It was difficult to walk alone. No wonder the emperor had to sit in a sedan chair even at home. It was really far away, with one hall far apart.

Wang Lin was sweating profusely: "In fact, the emperor only lives in such a few halls, and he would not go too far, because the palace is too big, and it is possible to get lost because he is not familiar with it. I have been lost before. If we hadn't found someone later, we would have to be killed. You must pay attention when you start making movies, but don't walk around. If we get lost, it will be difficult for us to find someone."

"I understand, but I don't know if we can enter and exit the palace freely in the future? Although the filming of the movie has not yet begun, we have to film the scene first, prepare first, and become familiar with the environment."

Wang Lin nodded: "I have received the order, so I will cooperate with you. If you want to enter the palace, call me and I will be there anytime. It's still late now. Director Ye, I'll be the host, please go to Yipinxiang for a meal." "Yipinxiang is the most authentic Zhongzhou restaurant."

"Then you're welcome." Ye Bei knew that social engagements were necessary, so he didn't refuse. After all, he would have to trouble Wang Lin in the future. It would be good to have a good relationship first.

Yipinxiang is not far from the palace, and the lintel is tall and very grand. Wang Lin leads the way and several men come in one after another.

The store was very lively. Ye Bei scanned the hall and found that the store was really open enough. There were many girls in the hall urging to drink and make Ye Bei wonder if he had walked into the brothel.

However, Ye Bei knew very well that this was not a brothel, but a serious hotel. These girls were not a miserable woman in the hotel, but the guests called themselves. Ye Bei's eyes were sharp-eyed and saw many young men with small hats standing in the corner of the hall, all holding some tickets. Although Ye Bei had never seen them in Tonghai, he also knew that if the customers in the store were excited, they could write their names by calling tickets and ask these errands to invite the people on the tickets to come and have a meal together.
