Designer Wu is a top ancient architect in China. He designed many temples and Taoist temples in the country.
So when Xiao Yu first said he wanted to rebuild Maoshan, Qinglong's friend introduced the designer to him.
Of course, given Maoshan's status and importance since ancient times, it was impossible for Xiao Yu to bet on this person.
So he asked Leader Zhuge to introduce him to several ancient designers. Those designers should not only have very deep insights into Taoist culture, but also have a lofty status in the field of ancient architecture.
But after some comparison, Xiao Yu still felt that the designer named Wu was more suitable.
Because the other party's design concept and Taoist culture have unique insights, he can promptly provide supplementary information on things that Xiao Yu has not thought of.
For example, on a mountain next to the tomb of the great witch, Xiao Yu originally intended to build a Taoist temple to give people a feeling of being cold at high places.
But the designer named Wu said that he artificially smoothed the top of the mountain and then arranged a huge Bagua array.
Because that mountain is the highest mountain near the Great Miko's Tomb, building a Taoist temple will not only increase the difficulty of construction, but also make it easier to attract lightning and make future protection work difficult to maintain.
If you build a Bagua array, the hilltop will be relatively flat. It is a good choice for Taoists to meditate there, watch stars or gain enlightenment.
That's why Xiao Yu finally made the decision to let the designer named Wu be the chief designer of Maoshan.
However, the construction was not as simple as Xiao Yu thought, and there were difficulties in obtaining approval at the very beginning.
Because the mountains near the Great Witch's Tomb are all hills contracted by local people, and now it is forced to be planned as Maoshan territory, the villagers will definitely not agree.
Moreover, the news of the reconstruction of Maoshan spread out from nowhere. Recently, a series of Daoist disciples went to the Exorcism Alliance to protest, and the leader of the Alliance, Zhuge, also had a headache.
Fortunately, Alliance Leader Zhuge paid more attention to Xiao Yu, so no matter what happened below, he asked the elders to block him back.
Xiao Yu and the others were forced to start construction on the site they divided, but the construction stopped just a few days after it started. Some bizarre things happened one after another, and even the local people sat down and protested there.
Generally speaking, when it comes to matters involving the common people, the terms of compensation are not clarified, which leads to incidents where the common people collectively make trouble.
Of course, there are still some people who are adding fuel to the flames, that is, some Taoist forces.
Moreover, the tomb of the Great Miko is inaccessible. If you want to transport the materials there, you have to transport them directly without using tools, or lift them by airplane. Apart from these two methods, there is no other way, or you can pave roads and build bridges.
There are too many things involved from top to bottom. Lao Bai, as the main person in charge of economic power, has allocated five million, but the money goes out from him to various construction departments, and corruption has begun to appear.
Some foremen disappeared after receiving the first part of the money, which made Lao Bai extremely depressed.
As a last resort, Lao Bai found Bai Zimo and asked for his help.
When Xiao Yu left, he said hello to Bai Zimo, saying that if Lao Bai couldn't handle it, he would ask him to help solve it, and any expenses would be recorded on his own head.
Fortunately, Bai Zimo had already returned from Africa, and all the real estate projects there had been implemented, so when Lao Bai found him, he agreed wholeheartedly.
In order to learn from the previous experience, Lao Bai found the designer responsible for this construction again and asked him to print out the budget details again, so that he had a better idea.
After Designer Wu finished speaking, he looked at Lao Bai quietly, wanting to wait for Lao Bai's reply.
"Taoist Master Bai, I'm asking you a question, why are you distracted."
Designer Wu's words called Lao Bai back from his random thoughts.
"Oh, I heard it, but I don't think the 3D printing technology you mentioned is very reliable for building houses.
In my opinion, it is better to find a craftsman to make it yourself, as it is stronger and lasts longer.
It doesn't matter if you spend some money, you can't just shoddy goods just to save money. In that case, I won't be able to see Xiao Yu when he comes back.
Designer Wu, how about this? You can send me the drawings and budget, and I will take a closer look.
We will talk about the additions and subtractions later. The most important issue now is to start construction after the road is paved.
I will find a professional construction team and start working first. No matter what, the road must be paved to the place where the Taoist temple is built before the Chinese New Year."
It has been a full month and a half since Xiao Yu left. After the important task of rebuilding Maoshan fell on his shoulders, there was no improvement at all. Instead, five million was embezzled by the people below, which made Lao Bai feel ashamed.
So he wanted Designer Wu to give him the budget and drawings, and then he would go to Bai Zimo, who would then find the top international architects to calculate the project.
If there are indeed no errors, work can begin.
There are two other people who are running around with Lao Bai for the reconstruction of Maoshan, one is the old man Xuanwu, and the other is Zhuque.
Xuanwu's main purpose is to contact various Taoist temples and work together to fight against those Taoist forces that block the reconstruction of Maoshan.
Suzaku is a female, but she often wanders among the major Xuanmen, inquiring about some useful information, and then conveys it to Leader Zhuge in a timely manner.
Except for Zhuque and Xuanwu, Xiao Jie and Xiao Ping all stick to their posts, mainly supervising the work.
But now that work has not started, they have no work to supervise, but Lao Bai still pays them wages. After all, Lao Bai has watched them grow up, and they are more trusting than others.
"Okay, I will send these things to your mailbox before dark tomorrow, and you can print them out then.
I'm just an architectural designer, not a project supervisor, so I don't know how much the final error will be in this budget. It mainly depends on the materials and where the materials are distributed, because the distance is long and the cost is high.
There will be some errors later.
In addition, China has very strict control over wood. If we use all wood, we will have to transport it from other places. In that case, the cost will be higher. Please consider the 3D printing technology I mentioned.
We should be villains before gentlemen. I will explain these things clearly to you. You can go down and find anyone to check you out."
Designer Wu was not surprised at all by Lao Bai's insistence. He just said it casually. If Lao Bai agrees, everyone will be happy.
If you don't agree, you can only proceed according to the original plan, but in that case, more time will be wasted, and ancient buildings are no more demanding than modern buildings, requiring sculpture, painting, and other crafts, which will waste even more time.
When Xiao Yu first met with Designer Wu, the other person said that it would take at least five years to build such a large project.
