As soon as the officials from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry arrived, some of them were taken to Du Chuke's place.
"Du Shangshu, there are about twenty people gathered now. What do you want us to do? It's time to tell us, right?!"
An official from the Ministry of Industry couldn't help but ask.
Du Chuke looked around and found that almost all the people he wanted to call were here.
Everyone present,
They were all identified and considered by him, and it can be determined that they are loyal to the Li Tang royal family.
"It's like this. I took the liberty of asking you to put down what you were doing this morning because we have something important to discuss."
Facing everyone’s puzzled looks,
Du Chuke slowly opened the blueprints of the Luban lock he got yesterday one by one for the officials of the Ministry of Industry to examine.
"This...this is!!!"
The sharp-eyed officials immediately discovered that it was an architectural drawing, and it was different from their usual construction.
He picked up the drawing and looked at it carefully, his eyes widened and his face looked excited.
"This is, this is Luban Lock!!"
"It's the legendary Luban Lock construction drawings. This...Du Shangshu, you...where did you get it?"
The words fell.
Other officials were shocked.
"What! Luban Lock? But the lost Luban Lock?!"
"This... this is the real Luban Lock. The legendary Badakou is actually built like this."
"Awesome, if ordinary construction methods are explored using this drawing, it will definitely be stronger and more reliable."
"Du Shangshu, why do you have the lost Luban Lock in your hand?!"
Many officials were discussing it.
"Haha, I was lucky enough to get this from Her Royal Highness the Little Princess. As for how she got it, I probably know. Xu got it from the residence of King Chu Li Kuan."
Du Chuke laughed and felt excited.
"Li Kuan, King of Chu? Who is he?"
"I don't know, it seems... he seems to be His Majesty's second prince?"
"Huh? Is His Royal Highness the Second Prince Li Kuan? Wait, does His Majesty have this child?!"
Many officials from the Ministry of Industry were extremely puzzled.
Du Chuke was secretly shocked that there were very few officials who even knew about Li Kuan. His Royal Highness the King of Chu seemed to be really low-key and had no sense of existence.
And it was such a person with no sense of existence who did one thing after another that surprised him.
"Okay, let's not talk about His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
"I called you here today because I have a big matter to discuss with you."
"Aren't our Ministry of Industry preparing the construction plan for the Daming Palace recently? I am planning to overturn and start over, overturn the entire previous building layout, and use the Luban lock technique to build the Daming Palace."
Du Chuke stated today's purpose.
According to the original process, the Daming Palace was built after all important fortifications were completed.
But among them,
They can prepare architectural drawings first and determine how to build in advance.
It was originally prepared and the drawings have been sealed.
The reason why it is said to be sealed.
It's because there are too many fortifications on hand at present, and the Tang Dynasty is full of waste, and it will take at least two or three years to complete the fortifications at hand.
The construction of Daming Palace will be delayed at least to this point in time.
"What? Overthrow the original plan? Du Shangshu, this is absolutely impossible. Our Ministry of Works spent two months finalizing that plan, and it was approved by His Majesty. It should not be overturned!!"
"Yes, all dynasties have built according to that method. I don't think the Luban Lock should be used. After all, the Luban Lock has been lost for a long time and has just been obtained. There are many construction techniques that we have never understood. We used it for the first time.
Daming Palace, this is disrespectful to His Majesty."
"That's right! Besides, it's impossible to know whether this Luban Suo is real or fake. Du Shangshu must think twice before acting!!"
"Du Shangshu, I think the Daming Palace is immutable. The Daming Palace is too important. We can use the Luban lock technique in other buildings."
"Obtained from His Highness the King of Chu, who does not understand the craftsmanship, whether the Luban Lock is genuine or not remains to be discussed."
Voices of doubt came in like sea water.
Almost no one supports him Du Chuke.
Facing all the doubts, Du Chuke snorted coldly.
"Hey guys, is this the crystallization of distrust of the craftsmanship of our ancestors? The Luban Lock is regarded as a treasure of craftsmen. Now it has been lost and recovered. It is most appropriate to apply it to His Majesty's Daming Palace!!"
"As for what you think, the first time we are unfamiliar, the Daming Palace will not be built today, and we will be given at least two years to build it!!"
"You are all the most outstanding craftsmen of our Ministry of Industry and the most outstanding craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty. Now that you have the drawings in hand and the various annotations are very clear, two years are not enough for you to learn the Luban lock technique?!"
This...
Officials from the Ministry of Industry were so reviled that they had nothing to say.
An official from the Ministry of Industry thought for a while and then stood up and said: "Indeed, we should not doubt the treasures of our ancestors."
"It's just that the Luban Lock came too unexpectedly, so it was inappropriate to overturn the Daming Palace plan that we had prepared for several months. Du Shangshu, I think we should focus on the original plan, and then try to explore the Luban Lock technique, etc.
After making sure that the Luban lock technique is OK, we will replace it."
"No!" Du Chuke shook his head and said firmly: "We must adopt the Luban Lock technique. The Luban Lock technique summed up by our ancestors is irreplaceable and powerful."
Ever since he saw the underground space of Prince Chu's Mansion, all of which used the Luban lock technique, Du Chuke believed that the Daming Palace must do the same in the future.
He wants to be the creator of Daming Palace, a palace of extraordinary craftsmanship!!
After half an hour of talk-filled discussion, officials from the Ministry of Industry finally agreed to Du Chuke’s idea.
Who made him the Minister of Industry?!
At the same time,
In my heart, I am extremely curious about this humble King of Chu.
Who can get the Luban Lock that has been lost for hundreds of years? Or even the Luban Lock that has been lost for hundreds of years!!
But I want to come,
King Li Kuan of Chu was able to selflessly dedicate himself to Lu Bansuo and was not greedy for money or rewards. He must be a great man in the world.
…………
The Lu Family Mansion.
This morning.
The heads of the Qiwang family with five surnames gathered here.
The first one to arrive was the head of the Li family in Longxi, and the last one arrived half an hour later, the head of the Boling Cui family.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm old and I overslept without knowing it. I hope Haihan."
Although the head of the Bolingcui family is the eldest head here, nearly seventy years old, he still apologizes to every head of the family with an apologetic look.
He is older,
But other families also have elders who have just abdicated.
As for the Bolingcui family, he is still led by this seventy-year-old man, which can also be seen from this.
Apologize one by one.
After seeing the representative of the Lu family, the head of the Boling Cui family was slightly startled.
Not the head of the Fan Yang Lu family.
He is a fifty-year-old man wearing a hat, squinting his eyes, with a kind face, and his hands hidden in his long sleeves.
"Master Cui, this is the temporary acting head of the Lu family. Okay, I know you have many questions, and I will answer you later."
"Now, let's first talk about who is the King of Chu, Li Kuan? Why is the food of Erlang of the Li family all taken out from his mansion!!"
The head of the Li family in Longxi was extremely puzzled.
