Every outsider who enters Tianshui City and a country bumpkin from the Shining Gold Plains will be stunned and amazed when they see Huan Biao.
After you have enough to eat, your external image becomes very important, both to the individual and to the country.
"Then how long will it take for this set of Huan Biao to be completed?"
"Master You said that there is no problem with manpower. Now the expansion project is being uploaded and communicated very smoothly, but the materials are a bit cramped." King Yao waved his hand: "Ask He Xiao to stop at Youhu Villa and bring in the Panjin Stone there.
Huan Biao."
Huan Biao should shock newcomers entering the city at first sight. In contrast, the official residence, which is hidden in a quiet lake and is inaccessible to ordinary people, does not have this effect.
In order to sell the residential land in Xincheng more easily, it is the most reasonable way to use the building materials of Youhu Villa at the moment.
"The carving has been completed and will be used in your palace soon."
King Yao was startled: "Huh? Then let You Rongzhi find another way."
At this time, another palace guard hurriedly came in and reported an emergency:
Xilin Temple collapsed again!
Xilin Temple is the largest goddess temple in the lower forest area of Tianshui Old City and the second largest goddess temple in Tianshui City. It occupies a vast area and has rows of buildings. It is extremely grand and can accommodate thousands of believers to worship together.
There are green shades along the outer wall, and the lake ten feet away is clear and rippled. The scenery is extremely beautiful.
Xilin Temple is the spiritual residence of countless believers. When it was first built 120 years ago, it was extremely grand. The open space in front of the temple could also host the largest and most lively temple fair in Xialin District.
But after all, it has been around for a long time, and the stone building still has a gorgeous appearance, showing only a little bit of the vicissitudes of time. However, due to groundwater erosion and surface subsidence of the temple, the Yao Kingdom has considered many plans, but they can only delay it and it is difficult to remedy it.
The recent rains and floods in the central part of Yao Kingdom have been constant. King Yao cherished the country's vitality and only pushed away the dark clouds above Mount Lu. It still rained every three days in other parts of the capital. The Xilin Temple couldn't bear it. The pagoda a few days ago
The cave collapsed and killed several passers-by and temple attendants.
The pagoda has not yet been built, and other buildings in the temple have collapsed.
This time, it was the wings of the main hall that collapsed.
On both sides of the originally magnificent main hall, the eaves slant like flying wings, like a golden roc spreading its wings, making it grand and exquisite.
Now that one side has collapsed, it means the wing is broken. Believers can see it as soon as they enter. It is too ugly.
"If it collapses, repair it and allocate funds from the treasury." King Yao was already very tired from governing today. He pressed his temples and casually ordered, "The Xilin Temple must be repaired as soon as possible, and we must not neglect it."
The pagoda is too high, the stone body is too heavy, and the foundation is soft. It cannot be raised up after it collapses. This has been proven by many parties, and Ambassador Liang also admitted it. But other buildings can be repaired after they collapse.
The treasury has received a lot of money in the past few days, and King Yao has become stronger.
"None of the qualified repair teams are in the city." Qiu Long whispered, "They have all been called into the eastward expansion project of the capital."
The repair of the temple is not something that just any grass-roots team is qualified to undertake. It involves various regulations, stresses, and taboos, which are no less stringent than repairing the palace. Only teams with excellent qualifications and rich experience in temple repair can
Only then can I take over.
However, these teams are now all involved in the eastward expansion project of the capital city!
There is a greatest shortage of skilled craftsmen there, and Yaoting mobilized the whole nation to do this project, so of course they called in all the good craftsmen they could find.
It is already difficult to hire craftsmen to renovate the homes of residents in Tianshui City. After all, the eastward expansion project has paid enough wages. Of course, Yaoting will not pay attention to such trivial matters, but now that the temple is in disrepair, problems have arisen.
When King Yao heard this, he thought it was not a big deal: "Then ask You Rongzhi and He Xiao to send out some craftsmen to build the temple."
"yes."
So, this matter has been arranged.
…
You Rongzhi attached great importance to the instructions from King Yao and immediately allocated the best team of craftsmen to rush to the Xilin Temple.
The needs of the gods must be met without delay. This has been the experience of generations of people in the Yao Kingdom.
But this experienced professional team gave a poor answer after careful investigation for more than ten hours:
It is possible to repair, and you can just find a few pillars to hold it up. But——
The foundation is unstable and the root cause of the loose soil is getting worse. Even if the side hall is rebuilt and reinforced, it may not last long.
Master Xiao at the Xilin Temple could not help but ask: "How long can it last? How long can it be?"
The craftsmen discussed it together, and the supervisor replied: "The shortest time will be more than twenty days, and the longest time will not exceed fifty days, and there is a risk of another landslide at any time during this period. Also... the next time the landslide area may be larger,
It is large and no longer limited to the side hall."
Master Xiao didn't understand: "In January this year, we asked Xiangzhuan Shuiling to inspect the foundation, and they said there would be no problem for the main hall to carry on for another three to five years!"
"I see that the floor tiles in your main hall have sunk, and the main stone pillars are also tilted." This kind of tilt cannot be seen by ordinary people, but in the eyes of experienced craftsmen, it is as obvious as a tick on a bald man's head.
, "This situation is like building a house on sand. When the flood comes...it all depends on God's will."
Master Xiao said angrily: "Can't we use magical formations to assist?"
"There are some solid formations that are optional, but once you use them one day, you will need to use them every day from now on without interruption. This may not be a long-term solution."
In this way, the Xilin Temple collapsed?
Master Xiao is unwilling to give in. There are 2,500 attendants and temple guards in Xilin Temple. Once the temple is gone, where will so many people be accommodated?
He thought about it and decided to ask Xiangzhuan Shuiling again to see what was going on underground.
The Xiangzhuan River outside the city and the Xiangzhuan Lake inside the city are interconnected water bodies. Tianshui City also hired water spirits to manage the creatures in these two waters.
Of course, there is nothing Shuiling can do about the leakage of natural lake water. This is an objective reason based on the topography.
The reason why it is called "Xiang Zhuan" is that there are several temples built along the rivers and lakes because of the beautiful scenery. In the temples, incense and seal scripts are burned, which can be heard a hundred steps away, hence the name.
But unexpectedly, as the waterlogging in Tianshui City intensified, the building standing on the waterside became a flaw.
On the day Shui Ling entered the lake, it caused a small sensation in the lower forest area. Common people crowded to the lakeside, waiting to watch the so-called "River God emerge from the water."
As the capital of the Yao Kingdom, Tianshui City does not have the role of mountains and rivers, but there are water spirits, and there are several of them. However, they have been submerged under water for many years and rarely show their faces.
Suddenly there was a splashing sound on the calm lake. From a distance, it looked like rain, but up close, I realized it was a fish flood!
Countless small fish jumped to the surface of the lake in panic, as if to avoid something underwater.
Soon, someone by the lake shouted: "Shui Ling, Xiang Zhuan Shui Ling is here!"
Everyone crowded to the shore to look down.
Deep under the water, there seemed to be a huge dark red shadow swimming slowly against the lake shore, and there seemed to be lumpy spots on its body.
