Daming 1805

Chapter 353 Yard and Clothes

Where Zhu Jingyuan was going to build the castle, there was already a road going up the mountain.

Zhu Jingyuan led Shire, designers and craftsmen along the newly built mountain road.

The craftsmen recorded and photographed the scene, and Zhu Jingyuan also intermittently expressed his thoughts:
"The design and construction should be done as quickly as possible, preferably within three to five years.

"The scale does not need to be too large, just enough for normal daily life and play.

"After this project is completed, I will look for another suitable place and build a larger one."

Pierre Fontaine immediately pressed:

"So, this palace and castle of His Royal Highness is equivalent to an experimental project?"

Zhu Jingyuan shook his head lightly and said:

"It can't be regarded as experimental, this manor and the completed palace will be used for a long time in the future.

Zhu Jingyuan responded with a smile:

While waiting for the photo to be taken, Charlotte finally couldn't hold back her curiosity, and asked quite nervously:
"His Royal Highness... How much should I pay for this suit?"

The next day, Zhu Jingyuan went to work on his own affairs. After hesitating for a while, Charles went to the opposite side to play games.

After struggling for a few seconds, Charles said rather embarrassedly:
"Sorry, I shouldn't be so sensitive..."

There is only one foundation for the indoor stadium here, but part of the outdoor stadium has been built one after another.

"It's really gorgeous, completely different from our men's clothing..."

Now around the entire lake, there are construction sites for clearing up the woods, the ground, and the lakeshore.

The construction team has now built a temporary road around the lake.

Charles didn't know how to express his feelings, or even what mood he should use.

"Why didn't you tell me that there are already built facilities here? Otherwise, I would bring a suit of clothes suitable for sports."

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said:
"Can you put it on for me to see and let me take some pictures?"

"My dear friend, you have prepared these facilities here, why don't you invite me to play together?"

"What a disappointment, I'm leaving first..."

Charlotte said at once:

"The royal family of Ming Dynasty is really too rich. The key is how much does this suit cost me? What if I can't afford it..."

The pearl cultivation technology inherited from the Song Dynasty in Shenzhou was lost at the end of the [-]th century.

At night, I went to play games in the temple where the game consoles were placed, and met Charlotte and Amelia who were sitting in front of the machines playing marbles.

"It's okay, after I go back, I'll take you there to play."

"Just when you wear this kind of clothes to attend a banquet, just tell other guests that you got them from Dashi Clothing Company."

"Yes, as long as this is enough."

Zhu Jingyuan said goodbye to Charles, who seemed to be still a little tangled, and went to the opposite yard to find Charlotte, the little queen of America.

Including basketball courts, tennis courts, table tennis tables, and other outdoor physical exercise equipment.

If a purely traditional Thai-Western style palace is built now, the Supreme Emperor may not have the opportunity to come in and experience life.

In this world, China's artificial pearl cultivation technology has not only not been lost, but has also been greatly developed.

Now Zhu Jingyuan has them inlaid on the shoes.

Zhu Jingyuan nodded as a matter of course:
"Of course I'm not joking."

Charles, who was just being born, wanted to nod subconsciously, but immediately changed his action into a vigorous shaking of his head:
"How is it possible, this is women's clothing..."

"The clothes are nothing, and Charles's clothes are all given by me, and I never asked him for money.

Standing in front of Zhu Jingyuan, Charlotte turned around carefully and raised her hand, showing Zhu Jingyuan the effect of her upper body.

Now the other party gave it directly?

"Besides, that courtyard was not specially prepared for female guests.

Zhu Jingyuan asked the accompanying photographer to take photos of Charlotte for future promotional materials.

Zhu Jingyuan said with a wicked smile beside him:
"Why don't you try it on first?"

If traditional oriental wooden buildings are used, it will be much faster. The construction of the Forbidden City in the old city of the Ming Dynasty capital took only 15 years.

The purpose is to give the busy craftsmen and workers around something to play with during their breaks.

Zhu Jingyuan said a little innocently:
"Those things are just across from the big yard where you live. I thought you just walked past it by yourself."

Zhu Jingyuan directly agreed:

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and shook his head:

"You just left?"

Only when you want to have fun, you will live in the southern region. Normal life and even retirement are still in the inner region.

The designers knew that Zhu Jingyuan's grandfather was Zhu Zhongliang, the Supreme Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and they also knew his age.

"If you feel uneasy, just like Shire, just help Dashi Clothing Company to do publicity.

These overseas-style buildings from all over the world will be concentrated on the east bank of the lagoon.

Zhu Jingyuan took Shire to say goodbye to the designers, and continued along the lakeside road.

The construction period of traditional Thai-Western castles and palaces dominated by stone structures is relatively long.

"This is too expensive, I dare not accept such a gift from you, it will make me uneasy..."

After a circle, go back to the south of the lake again, the stadium area in the west of the planned residential area.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at Shire's clothes, which were still popular Taixi men's clothes:
"With your outfit... what kind of sports can you participate in? Playing table tennis may even make you sprain your feet."

The construction team has prepared supporting temporary dormitories for the workers, and there are also specially reserved residences for designers and craftsmen.

Zhu Jingyuan took Shire around the lake, and by the way, greeted the shopkeeper in charge of Huangzhuang, and visited the designers and craftsmen in charge of traditional buildings.

Charles froze for a moment:
"Across from the yard where I live? That's a yard for female guests! How could I go there!"

The Palace of Versailles took 28 years to build.

"So before you guests come, the houses and facilities in that yard are all ready-made.

The traditional breeding techniques are constantly being refurbished, and now seedless pearls have been successfully cultivated.

"Okay, I won't force you anymore, and don't take it to heart, I'm going to deliver clothes to Charlotte."

Returned to Xintianfu again at noon the next day.

The craftsmanship that originally required worshiping the ancestors to learn has now become the fist industry of the royal consortium's factory management.

Zhu Jingyuan encouraged and said:
"I designed this myself. Several craftsmen have been busy for many days. You should at least try to see if it fits?"

Zhu Jingyuan spread his hands and said:

"Anyway, you don't want to show me women's clothing, so what's the point of me staying here..."

Charlotte couldn't help but marvel in her heart:

Zhu Jingyuan changed clothes with Shire and went to visit the amusement park opposite.

This outfit is very similar to Eileen's, in fact it's the same basic.

Zhu Jingyuan led the designers around and expressed his thoughts as clearly as possible.

But there are amusement parks, water parks, stadiums, and zoos around it, which belong to the "noisy area" in the entire garden.

This is because the craftsmen knew that the clients were two Thai-Western people, so they made a little effort to finish it before the Western New Year.

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said:
"You don't have to be sorry, Xintianfu also has the same facilities. I tested it there before building it here."

Charlotte never thought that this dress was given to herself for nothing.

Until the mid-nineteenth century, natural pearls almost disappeared, and diamonds became the main material of high-end jewelry.

On the west bank of the lagoon, this is a space reserved for the traditional Ming-style gardens in China.

It should be said that the status of pearls is not restored, it has not lost its status, but the supply of pearls has been cut off.

Around the entire lake, a garden wetland park will be built, similar to Nanhaizi in Shuntian Prefecture.

"The main reason is that my grandfather hopes to be able to use it, so now I don't pursue the ultimate luxury and hugeness."

Charles immediately shook his head and said:
"I said I'm just collecting, and I don't need to care about whether it fits or not..."

Zhu Jingyuan turned around and said:

"You...no matter what you say, it's impossible to pull, my best friend, don't force me..."

Charles also subconsciously glanced at his clothes, especially the shoes under his feet, and immediately felt a little bit of resentment:

In the original history, after the seventeenth century, there were fewer and fewer natural pearls, and the status of diamonds gradually rose.

"The female guests are the same as you, they all live in a separate small courtyard, and it won't affect them at all if you go to the big courtyard.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, I am really honored..."

Charles opened them one by one curiously, looked at those gorgeous and complicated skirts, shoes, and accessories, and couldn't help admiring:

But pearls themselves are a mixed material, and perfect pearls are still expensive.

These facilities can be installed after the construction is completed, but now they are installed in advance.

My best friend has always been so calm, but I am always inexplicably awkward.

"His Royal Highness... What are you talking about? This is a gift for me? Are you kidding me?"

These designers and master craftsmen from France will stay here for a while.

"We understand."

Zhu Jingyuan lifted his foot and walked out.

Charlotte was pleasantly surprised and uneasy, and couldn't help but confirm again:

In addition to the Thai-Western style palaces and castles designed by French craftsmen, other styles of manor buildings will also be built in other surrounding areas.

Charlotte was visibly taken aback.

Lolita's clothes are very cumbersome, and the full outfits of the two were made for ten days.

"When Charlotte and the others came over, I didn't tidy up other gardens, so I arranged them there by the way.

Zhu Jingyuan went to deliver clothes to Charles.

This is still the speed after the steam machinery. Before the industrial revolution, the construction period would have to be doubled.

Cultured pearls are not fake pearls.

Zhu Jingyuan took Shire around the entire construction site, and boarded the boat again in the evening to leave the port.

Charles was a little surprised:

The little girl is much more obedient than the smelly man, and she was very happy after getting the clothes.

Zhu Jingyuan was a little speechless:
"The gardens of Daming are all small courtyards surrounded by large courtyards, and all the facilities are in the large courtyard.

Zhu Jingyuan followed the trend and said:

Holding the clothes excitedly, he thanked Zhu Jingyuan again and again:

Then they were left in the local area, allowing them to slowly observe on site and conceive design ideas and plans.

After all, Charlotte is just a child, and her mind is simpler than that of Shire in her 20s:
"It's just...is it all right?"

In fact, a large number of residential facilities have been planned in the south of the lake.

She was planning to pay, but what she asked Zhu Jingyuan for was the qualification to buy in advance.

"So you don't mind at all, or I will take you there tomorrow after we go back."

Immediately understood what Zhu Jingyuan meant, it was to let Zhu Zhongliang, who was in retirement, have a chance to use it.

Charlotte immediately went back to the room, changed her clothes with the help of the maid, and came to Zhu Jingyuan again.

Pearls are a very traditional and precious jewelry material.

Charles shook his head resolutely again:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could I wear women's clothes..."

When the car passed by the tennis court, several Ming craftsmen were playing tennis.

Zhu Jingyuan didn't do much, just patted Charles on the shoulder:

As a result, Charles became even more resentful:
"Then why don't you take me to experience it?"

Good pearls are often used in necklaces, earrings, or set in crowns.

These gardens on the west bank of the lagoon are not affected by those facilities and belong to the "quiet zone" in the gardens.

Feng Dan immediately nodded and said:
"We learned that if we wanted to go fast, we could do it a lot faster by replacing stone with concrete as much as possible."

I can't be dreaming!

In Thai-Western tradition, only the most senior nobles, even members of the royal family, can wear pearl jewelry.

The pearl's status was only rapidly restored in the early twentieth century.

Two days later, on November 1808th of the third year of Ankang, the last day of [-] in the Western calendar, new clothes for Charles and Charlotte were ready.

Ask the servant to place the box of clothes on the table in the living room of Charles' room.

The Japanese invented modern pearl farming technology at the same time and promoted it to Europe.

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said:
"This is Little Charlotte's New Year's gift, so there is no need to pay."

"What if one day you want to wear it yourself, but find that the size doesn't fit you?"

Seeing those people having fun, Charles felt a little ready to move, so he looked at Zhu Jingyuan beside him:

Charles blushed:

Charlotte looked at the gorgeous decoration of the clothes on her body, especially noticed the round pearls on her shoes, and slowly began to feel guilty.

The difference between cultured pearls and natural pearls, and the difference between cultured diamonds and natural diamonds in later generations is only equivalent to the difference between fruits grown in orchards and wild fruits.

Feng Dan immediately agreed again very seriously:

Prepare to complete the general overall design on site, and then return to Xintianfu to complete the detailed design.

But plenty of tweaks have been made to the trim details, resulting in another new suit.

Charlotte was a little shy, but without much hesitation:
"Well, I am very happy and honored. Please wait a moment, His Royal Highness."

"When I tested the equipment before, I often took people to activities or even stayed overnight.

In the afternoon, I walked around the yard, played ball together for a while, and experienced the main amusement facilities.

"If you can use concrete, you can use concrete, but you can't blindly pursue speed. Safety must also be guaranteed..."

If the scale of design and construction is too large, the construction period may be extended to more than ten years.

Zhu Jingyuan saw that Charles was extremely determined, and shook his head with a little regret:

If it was a girl from an ordinary family, she would definitely still feel uneasy about such a transaction.

She will feel that what she can do is far from the value of what she gets.

But after all, Charlotte is the granddaughter of the Queen of England, the Queen of America, and the voice of a traditional royal and noble family.

I didn't pay too much attention to such conditions, and soon accepted it very happily.
