Chapter 732 The Tower of Babel

After Yang Reform made some great truths, Shi Fenglai, Han Yu and others' hearts returned to their place a little bit.This is still a reasonable thing to say.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then it is indeed necessary to build the Human Altar, or the Huaxia Altar as your Majesty said..." Han Yu is not afraid of being so afraid when he sees the matter, since it involves the continuation and development of Huaxia Development, the emperor's intention to build this Huaxia altar is quite high, and the high intention of doing things is more righteous, and it is more justifiable to do things.Therefore, I changed my view and no longer regarded this matter as such a terrible thing.But when he talked about it seriously, the emperor asked him to publicize it outside.

"Yes, it is indeed necessary to build. Not only must it be built, but it must be built well. It must be tall and tall, so that it can reflect the strength of our Ming Dynasty and the greatness of our China..." Yang Reform said.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know how big your Majesty plans to build this human altar. If it is very big, it will take a lot of time, and it may not be completed for several years. I think it will be difficult to achieve, Your Majesty..." Bi Zi Yan is quite vigilant, and he didn't applaud the emperor because of his good words, but provoked the emperor.

"Hehehe, this human altar, I plan to build it in the form of a monument, and use an incomparably tall monument as the carrier of my China's continuation and inheritance. Only in this way can I reflect my power and calm this matter... "Yang Reform said with a smile, Yang Reform can imagine what the Monument to the People's Heroes looks like when he closes his eyes.

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone almost choked to death.Is it possible that an incomparably tall monument serves as the carrier of the Human Altar?Perhaps in the eyes of Yang Reform, it is a very simple matter, but in the eyes of Shi Fenglai, Han Yu and others, this is definitely a shocking project that cannot be completed.

Not only Shi Fenglai, Han Yu, but also Bi Ziyan, Yuan Chonghuan, and even Wang Chengen all stared at the emperor dumbfounded.What's wrong with the emperor, just now he said that he wanted to find a place for the common people to worship instead of himself, and now he wants to build an incomparably tall monument... Is this possible?

Yang Reform was also surprised. Why did he just say a word, and his confidantes were shocked like this?

"...Here, gentlemen, are you all right? Why are you so surprised? Did I say something wrong?" Yang Reform asked puzzledly. Yang Reform found that not only a few ministers were in a daze, but even Wang Chengen was dumbfounded. .Yang Reform knew that he must have said something wrong, which made these people feel unacceptable.

"Cough cough..., this, Your Majesty, dare I ask Your Majesty, is Your Majesty really saying that he wants an extremely tall stele to build the Altar of Human Beings?" Shi Fenglai didn't dare to speak lightly when encountering such a big event, so he naturally shut up Yes, seeing that Shi Fenglai didn't speak up, Han Yu had no choice but to stand up and speak up.

"Yes! I plan to build a huge monument, with the words "Huaxia Monument" written in gilt characters on it, to commemorate those who have contributed to the development and continuation of my Chinese civilization. Anyone who has contributed to the continuation and development of my China , All those who have defended our China, and those who have fought for our China, are included in the list of worshippers. All the people of our Ming Dynasty and the descendants of China can worship..." Yang Reform further explained his "monument ".

This time, Han Yu's forehead was sweating again, not because of the hot weather, nor because he was frightened just now, but because of the emperor's "childishness". That's good, but how to get this tall monument to the capital?Han Yu was sure that the emperor had never thought about this issue.Han Yu sighed secretly again, this emperor is still a little tender!Don't say tenderness, but should say that I don't know the sufferings of the people. Sometimes the emperor is not omnipotent!This matter is definitely not something that can be accomplished with the next decree.

"I want to report to Your Majesty that the monument to build the Altar of Human Beings must be tall so that it can play the role of gathering the popularity of China that His Majesty said, but has Your Majesty thought about it? How to transport such a tall monument to the capital? If it is to be built in the city, together with the two altars of heaven and earth, it is necessary to pass through the city gate. Even if such a tall stele is brought down, it will be higher than the city gate. Your Majesty, this will never be demolished. Let's go to the city gate..." Han Yu hurriedly persuaded the emperor that the emperor really "thought it out beautifully" and didn't consider the actual situation.

"...through the city gate?" Yang Reform asked in surprise.

"Yes! Your Majesty, can this stele not pass through the city gate? Your Majesty wants to build it outside the city? But even if it is built outside the city, the transportation is extremely difficult. I am afraid that it is impossible to pick it from the mountain... I don't know if your majesty knows about the Yangshan monument in Nanjing..." Han Yu rushed to "educate" the emperor.

"Yangshan stele material?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is the Yangshan stele, or the Xiaoling stele, which was excavated by my Ming Chengzu to praise the merits of Taizu. This stele is extremely magnificent, and the stele alone is more than five feet high. It is nine feet wide and nearly forty feet thick. If you count the forehead and body of the stele, it is more than twenty feet high... Your Majesty, how can such a large stele be excavated from the mountain? How to transport it to the capital? How to transport it to the city? Such a heavy stele, even if you use ten thousand horses, you can't even try to drag it... let alone drag it to the capital. The two altars of heaven and earth are built together, what else can I do besides tearing down the city gate?" Han Yu is very knowledgeable, expressing the magnificence of this stele material with data.

"Yes! Your Majesty, although this monument is magnificent, but manpower is always limited. Your Majesty's idea is good, but this monument cannot be excavated at all, it cannot be transported out after it is excavated, and it cannot enter the city after it is transported. It is better not to build a stele, but to learn from the appearance of the two altars of heaven and earth and build a relatively easy one..." Bi Ziyan also said that the Yangshan stele material was also very famous in the Ming Dynasty.If you are a learned person, you will read something. Hearing that the emperor wanted to use a stele to build the Human Altar, Bi Ziyan also felt that the emperor was joking. If he used a stele, the stele must be not small. It can't be built in one or two years. Now the emperor is in a hurry to find a place to worship instead of himself, and there is time to wait for several years.

Shi Fenglai and Yuan Chonghuan also persuaded that the emperor's idea was indeed a little unreliable.

"Hehehe..." Yang Huaihe laughed when he saw that everyone kept trying to persuade him not to build a monument, and even persuaded himself with the matter of the Yangshan monument. [A few words, seeing this, do you think it’s amazing, it turns out that the otaku didn’t want to build a monument alone, you can search for "Yangshan Monument Materials" to see what Zhu Di's monument looks like. 】

Several people were confused by the emperor's laughter, the emperor is not crazy!

"Since you guys know about the materials of the Yangshan stele, I won't say any more. Han Qing's family, tell me, what was this stele built for?" Yang Reform asked with a smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this stele was only excavated. Later, because the stele material was too tall and could not be transported down, it cannot be called a stele, but only the material of the stele... If we talk about the original intention of the stele to be excavated, It is to praise the achievements of Taizu..." Han Yu immediately said, as a cabinet minister, Han Yu still has basic qualities, at least the emperor asked, he knew what the emperor was talking about.

"Hehehe, I used such a tall stele to praise the achievements of my great ancestor back then, so when I build the Huaxia Altar today, I should build this stele even higher to show my might... and to bear it Only by offering sacrifices to the people of the world can we bear the heavy responsibility of continuing China, can't we?" Yang Reform said with a smile.

A few people almost choked to death, since the emperor knew about it and still said that, isn't he insane?Taller than the Yangshan Monument?It turned out that the tablet had been left unused for nearly 200 years. Could it be possible to excavate a larger tablet that was not needed?

"...Your Majesty, the excavation of this stele material has taken place over time. After years of mining, several years of transportation, and several years of construction, I am afraid that it may not be completed well in ten years. Your Majesty, this day is waiting for no one!... What's more, even if such a heavy stele is excavated, it may not be able to lift it, Your Majesty, think twice about this matter!" Bi Ziyan followed, and began to pour cold water on the emperor.

Several other people also advised the emperor to think twice.

"Hehehe..., where are you guys thinking? Do you have to dig stones to build a stele? Do you have to dig out whole blocks? Do you have to build it for several years?... Hehehe, speaking of it, even if you can I am not in the mood to wait so long for digging out such a whole piece of stele and transporting it to the capital. Now that I will use it immediately, how can I afford to wait so long? I think it is best for this human altar It will be built within two years..." Yang Reform said with a smile. Of course, the monument that Yang Reform wanted was made of concrete, which is fast and easy. That is, a tall building can be put into use soon, and it can be used again. Propagating the new building material cement, once the building material cement plus steel is used on a large scale, the Ming Dynasty will definitely enter another world, a world of reinforced concrete and soil. In later generations, perhaps many people will have a sense of rejection of reinforced concrete. What do you say? The steel forest is far away from nature, but for the current Yang Reform, the steel forest is definitely a symbol of strength and civilization.

Several people were about to be killed by the emperor's thunder, and a monument taller than the Yangshan monument was built quickly and well. Did the emperor really send a god to transport the monument?Several people felt that there was probably no other way to do this except for the help of gods. Considering that the emperor has always claimed to have help from gods, maybe the emperor really has some way to do this... The more people think about it, the more mysterious they become...

"I thought of building such a 'Altar of Human Beings' precisely because of the material of the Yangshan stele. Only such a tall stele can set off the strength of my Ming Dynasty and the greatness of my China. Back then My ancestors had this wish, but they couldn’t fulfill it. Today, let’s fulfill him in my hands... No, the monument was only built to praise the achievements of the great ancestor, but I want to praise the continuous achievements of China. This is greater than the merits of one family and one family name, so naturally it must be built higher than this monument..." Yang Reform said happily.

The few ministers could only be dumbfounded except for being dumbfounded. It was over, the emperor was suffering from hysteria, and it was not serious, and he could no longer tell the difference between south, east and north.The Yangshan stele materials are [-] to [-] feet high. If you build a taller stele now, isn’t that crazy?Isn't this what hysteria is?
"...Dare to ask Your Majesty, how does Your Majesty plan to build it?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.Yuan Chonghuan didn't believe that the emperor was really crazy. Seeing that the emperor looked sober, he felt that the emperor must have his own thoughts, so he asked.

"...This is actually quite simple. You must know about cement, so of course it must be built with cement..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Cement?" The officials were shocked again, and then they remembered that there is such a thing in this world.

"...Your Majesty, although cement is good for building things, it is no different from rock after it dries, but it has never been used to build a monument with a height of tens of feet! I am afraid that even cement cannot be built with such a high monument! If you want to When it is completed, I am afraid that it will be piled up layer by layer, not a monument..." Bi Ziyan said, when it comes to cement, everyone's first impression is the barbarian pavilion in Liulizhai Square, which is said to be very strong , but that is a house, a house and a stele are two different things.

"...Your Majesty, it is relatively simple to build a tower. It does not even need cement. It is easy to build a tower with a mound of earth. As long as there are many people, even if you want to build a [-] It doesn’t take too much time to seal the altar, this can be done... Besides, this altar was also used for sacrifices in ancient times, and if it was used for worship, it would be just right..." Han Yu went on Come out and say.Building a Fengtai, this is relatively simple. There are also records of building a Fengtai in ancient times. This has no technical content. As long as there are many people, it can always be successful.

"...It's like the Longevity Mountain behind me?" Hearing what Han Yu said, Yang Reform was the first to think of the Longevity Mountain. This Longevity Mountain was piled up with the mud from the Taiye Pond, and it was a bit "closed". It means that Yang Reform has not thought of this Longevity Mountain for a long time, but now he suddenly thinks of this Longevity Mountain, this scorching summer day, he suddenly shivered...

"...No, no, absolutely not, you can't use a mound of earth to seal the tower, you can only use a stele..., you can only use a stele,..." Yang Reform didn't wait for Han Yu's reply, and immediately rejected the proposal to seal the tower with a mound of earth , I managed to gradually get rid of the fate of being hanged on Longevity Mountain, and now I have another blockade, which is too unlucky. Yang Reform's head is shaking like a rattle.What Yang Reform wants is a "high-tech" product, not an "antique".

Han Yu looked at the emperor shaking his head like a rattle in surprise, and was even more confused. What happened to the emperor today, he did some inexplicable things...

"...I have my own plans for this matter. It may not be possible to build such a tall monument with cement, but if steel and iron frames are added to it, I think the monument can be built. Building the monument with cement can save the need for excavation. The pain of stele materials can also save the trouble of transportation. I think this stele will be built soon, maybe in a year or two..." Yang Reform said.

Several people were dumbfounded.The emperor really dares to think about it!He dared to use cement to build a monument as high as tens of feet, the emperor went crazy.

"... In this matter, I have made up my mind. This monument must be built, and it must be taller than the one that my ancestors dug. Only in this way can I show my sincerity and my integrity. Power can only show the strength of my Ming Dynasty, and it can also show the greatness of my China..." Yang Reform made up his mind to build this reinforced concrete monument, and it was built so tall that it was the "Tiantian Tower" of the Ming Dynasty. ".

Yang Reform said it in an unquestionable tone. Yang Reform still has confidence in building this monument. Cement has already appeared, and cement-built buildings have finished products. It is nothing new to use cement to build buildings. It is more difficult to get it, even with the smelting level of the Ming Dynasty, it is not impossible.The Yongle bell in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty was more than seven meters high, and it was cast at one time and weighed more than 70 tons.It can be seen that the level of metallurgy can be cast into such a large bell at one time.Yang Reform has now put in even more effort to make steel with exhaustive methods. The level of metallurgy has advanced by leaps and bounds. It is not difficult to make a ten-meter-long "steel bar". With steel bars and cement, Doesn't this reinforced concrete become it?With reinforced concrete, it is not impossible to try to build a [-]-meter tower.

Although the construction of this tower must be expensive, Yang Reform is willing to try and spend money to promote the progress of "heavy industries" such as steel and cement.

Once this monument is built, it will be the "Tongtian Pagoda" of the Ming Dynasty. It is definitely a great spectacle of the Ming Dynasty. It will definitely be of great help to enhance the country's pride and national identity.In the seventeenth century, anyone who walked under a man-made building with a height of 80 meters would have to be shocked, it was too high.According to Yang Reform's thinking, when electricity is invented in the future, and then put a few large electric lights on it, and turn it on at night, this is definitely a proper "brilliant version of Babel". Shocking all the people in this world, this is definitely a miracle of this era, and it is definitely more Buddhist pagoda than the one in "Journey to the West".Yang Reform believes that anyone who sees this building must crawl under his feet, which will be of great help to conquering foreigners. As long as those barbarians who have never seen the world are led to the "Tiantian Tower" to have a look, This is definitely a proper request attached, and it is definitely a proper request to be a Chinese.

Shi Fenglai, Han Yu and the others were dumbfounded. The emperor was determined to make it happen. Could it be that the emperor really let the emperor do such nonsense?But is the emperor really messing around?Can such a tall building be built with cement and reinforced iron frames?They were also uncertain, which was beyond their comprehension.

Is it to persuade the emperor not to do it, or to support the emperor?These few people are confused, they can all be regarded as the emperor's confidantes, logically speaking, they all have to support the emperor, but it is really difficult to decide on this matter now.

"Everyone may wish to think about how majestic this [-]-foot pagoda will be once it is built. It can be called the 'Tiantian Pagoda'. When the people of my Ming Dynasty see this pagoda, they must be overwhelmed with joy and surrender, and they must be more convinced that they are my pagoda." The people of the Ming Dynasty more agree that they are the descendants of China. If Di Yi sees this tower, he will be shocked. It has the effect of convincing the world, and it also has the effect of defeating soldiers without fighting. Unexpectedly?" Yang Reform was immersed in the joy of "Tiantian Tower" and enlightened his confidants.

Several confidantes of Yang Reform still looked at Yang Reform with dumbfounded eyes. Their emperor and what they thought were definitely not on the same level. They would always have an insurmountable gap with their own emperor.

"There is no need to keep this matter secret. When you return home, you should publicize this matter immediately. The more lively the publicity, the better. Be sure to explain the pros and cons of it clearly, and explain why it must be built..." Yang Reform said.

Shi Fenglai and Han Yu walked out in a daze, but no one remembers how they walked out.

Yang Reform and everyone went out, and immediately told Wang Chengen: "Big companion, call Sun Yuanhua to Beijing immediately, and let him come as quickly as possible. This time, I will rely on him..." The heartbeat just now passed Now, it's time for Yang Reform to face the reality. The "Tiantian Tower" has been completed. It is indeed a remarkable building, but how to build it is definitely a big problem.

Although it is difficult, but once it is completed, what will be gained in this matter... Yang Reform is ambitious again, and his heart is beating wildly.
