Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 96 The Grand Theater

(The picture shows the enclosed house. Let’s see if it can be a grand theater. Hehe, it is said that it is very loud to urinate in the middle of the night.)
The leader looked at the blueprint in his hand, listened to the emperor's words, and said: "Your Majesty, to build this thing, you must use giant wood, otherwise, you need to build three floors, it is really difficult to support, and this giant wood is more difficult to find. It may take years and years of people to search for it from the deep mountains and drag it out..."

The petty officer immediately began to discuss the building plan.

"Wood? Oh, no! I'm going to build it with mud. The foundation is made of stone, and the walls are all made of mud. The room is supported by wood. There is no need to use huge logs. Another thing is that a house made of wood is as big as thousands of dollars." If people are inside, it is inevitable that there will be a fire, and then, what should we do?" Yang Reform, who is very aware of fire safety, would never let people build a grand theater with wood, it would be a great tragedy, if someone accidentally knocked over a Deng, isn't that the high-ranking officials and emperors of the Ming Empire were wiped out in one go?This BUG will not stay out anyway.

"...Mud?..." The little official also wondered, when did the emperor like to build houses with mud again?Is this a new trend?

"Yes, soil, soil is not afraid of fire, and it is good at bearing loads. It is safe and economical to build three floors." Yang Reform searched the enclosed house on Baidu, and it was mentioned that a building has a huge area and can accommodate hundreds of people. People, the cost of a high-quality fenced house is only 30 million taels of silver, which was the cost in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. Presumably, in the Ming Dynasty, when silver was more valuable, the cost would be lower. This is why Yang Reform made the fenced house bigger The original intention of the theater is cheap, adequate and safe.

……

Those little officials were silent for a while, quickly analyzing the emperor's words in their hearts.

"May I ask Your Majesty, is Your Majesty going to build this thing like building a city wall?" The little official's head was enlightened.

"City wall? Uh... it seems... yes." Yang Reform thinks that the inside of the ancient city wall should be made of rammed earth, and the outside is covered with bricks.Otherwise, if all the buildings are built with stones and bricks, the amount of work will be too large.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, I will know how to build this thing." Once this little official's brain is opened, he will quickly understand how to build it.

So soon you understand?Yang Reform was a little unbelievable, thinking that he didn't know Baidu for several nights before he came up with such an unsightly design drawing.As soon as you hear it, you understand how it was made?Doesn't that mean that I, the emperor, don't have cells in this area?Very low standard?Yang Reform was depressed.

"Then how to build it? Tell me, well said, I will let you design and build this thing." Yang Reform decided to put aside distracting thoughts, as long as others have real skills, leave this matter to him, I am an emperor, not a design engineer who designs buildings.Even with Baidu, it is not enough. It is more appropriate to leave this matter to experts in ancient times.

"My Majesty, according to what your Majesty said, if this thing is to accommodate several thousand people, I think two thousand is better, and it is not suitable for more. The foundation should be dug deep, and the foundation should be dug with soil, lime and glutinous rice. It is enough to mix and ram the ground with juice to ensure a firm foundation, and the inside and outside can be covered with bricks to ensure that water does not leak out. It is enough to use wood as auxiliary materials for support, and the roof to be covered with tiles."It seems to have some ability.

Yang Reform is very happy, this is the advantage of being the emperor, there is never a shortage of talents to handle affairs, just waiting to be discovered!

Just as he was about to praise this man, another green-robed official played tremblingly: "His Majesty, if I remember correctly, this is the residence of the Hakka people in the south of the Five Ridges, and it's called 'Enclosed House'. "

This time it was Yang Reform's turn to be struck by thunder. Unexpectedly, the things he searched from Baidu were still recognized by people in the Ming Dynasty.

"It's not bad, this thing is exactly the 'enclosed house'." Yang Reform is also straightforward, admitting that this thing is the "enclosed house" of Baidu's Hakka people.As for why an enclosed house is used to build a grand theater, it is actually very simple. In this world without reinforced concrete, it is necessary to build a place that can accommodate thousands of people to listen to music, and it must be economical, safe, and applicable. It is more suitable for the enclosure.

Enclosed houses have many advantages. For example, they are cheaper than those made of stone. Although the Colosseum can accommodate more people and can be built in the Ming Dynasty, the cost is too high and it is not suitable for the current Emperor Chongzhen who is tightening his belt. Wooden ones are too unsafe, and I believe they can be made entirely of wood, but with a single torch, the leaders of the Ming Dynasty will be wiped out.Therefore, after much deliberation, this earthen "enclosed house" is the most suitable.

Of course, it would be even better if the cement can be fiddled with, and you can repair it however you want.Unfortunately not now.

In terms of sound quality, the enclosure is made of soil, which can well isolate the sound from the outside and improve the sound quality of singing and playing inside.It can be soundproof, and it can also make the internal sound more concentrated, sound clearer, and better ensure the sound effect.

In comparison, this enclosure was really the first choice for a grand theater in the Ming Dynasty.

……

The green-robed official who was speaking tremblingly just now wiped away his tears and said: "My Majesty, this thing can be made, this thing can be made..."

Yang Reform wondered why he was crying so hard.Is this person also a Hakka?
"Huh! Could it be that the Qing family is from Lingnan? The Hakka people?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this humble minister is right." The man was crying as he spoke.Speaking of the Hakka people, it is also a bitter history. Since the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of Han people moved south to escape the war, so there is the term Hakka people.It can also be regarded as a migration history of blood and tears.This, when Yang reformed Baidu Weiwu, he knew more or less.

Yang Reform also sighed a few times, and said: "Ai Qing, don't be so sad. Now it is the world of my Ming Dynasty. This world is still occupied by Han people. Under this whole world, is it the land of the king? Lingnan is also the territory of my Ming Dynasty. , Why do you come to the Hakka people? Aiqing, don’t be sad, as long as the Ming Dynasty survives, within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Hakka people are all my people, and I treat everyone equally, and there is no need to call myself a Hakka.”

Yang Reform comforted him.

The weeping official said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is right. I am thinking too badly. I will pass on your majesty's care and words to the millions of Hakka people in Lingnan, and let them know that your majesty cares for them and is very important to them." Their love,..."

Yang Reform used the enclosed house to build a grand theater, but he wanted to save money and save money, but he didn't expect this special building to make a Hakka cry. It seems that the Hakka himself has to care and care, so he is easily moved , Then why don't you care more about yourself, maybe you can get some support from this special group of people.

……

Yang Reform quickly made a decision, let these small officials first design the blueprint, design the function, and then check if there are no loopholes, Yang Reform is ready to build the Imperial Theater, the idol of the Empire, the soldier The lovers of our dreams should be well packaged, and it's time to show up. The morale of the Ming Dynasty should also rise!
……

Just like that, Yang Reform "went home" with great excitement. This home is the Kunning Palace, the empress's residence. Although the Forbidden City is the emperor's home and the whole world belongs to the emperor, Yang Reform The otaku felt that only when he slept in that place at night all the year round could he call that place his home. So what if he was the emperor?Can a person still sleep on several bed boards?Therefore, in Yang Reform's mind, the Kunning Palace, where he slept with the queen every day, was his "home". As for the Forbidden City, it was nothing more than the "Palace Museum".

……

Kunning Palace.

Queen Zhou Wan'er saw that His Majesty had never been so happy before, and asked curiously: "Hehehe, Your Majesty, when did you become so happy?"

"Happy, happy, I'm really happy today..." Yang Huaihe said with a smile: "Hehe, this, Wan'er, is a very happy thing, but it involves important military affairs, so it's inconvenient to say, hehe, Anyway, the thing to be happy about is..." Regarding this matter, Yang Reform has already issued a gag order to others, and he is going to strictly enforce it on himself, because this is related to his own life safety in the future, and whether he will Take a knife and chop your own wife.Therefore, even if it is the queen, Yang Reform doesn't intend to say anything.What's more, this country also has a tradition that it cannot interfere with the government.

"Hehehe, it's fine if your majesty doesn't say anything. Today, my concubine is happy." Empress Zhou Wan'er was not dissatisfied because Yang Reform concealed the affairs of the court from him.

"Oh, what's the matter? It's something to be happy about?"

"Hehe, Daddy wrote in a letter saying that he has arrived in Jiangnan, and he plans to stay in Jiangnan for a few days before going to Guangxi." Empress Zhou Wan'er said with a smile.
