Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 508
He doesn't know much about the construction industry.

He couldn't understand what Li Ke meant by asking him to look at the drawings.

But he still looked up honestly.

Although he is not very proficient in these things.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't understand at all.

It's just that there are some things that I don't understand.

But at the very least, he can still understand all the data.

After seeing the data listed on the drawing.

Di Renjie closed his eyes and thought about it.

There are many things that I usually feel when I see them but don’t return them.

But when you really want to think about it.

Only then can you understand how huge that number is.

For example, the specifications of this fortress.

"A hundred miles long?"

This number alone made Di Renjie twitch.

Now the largest city in Pyu Kingdom is naturally Pingjin City.

As the former capital, it is now the provincial capital.

The wall of Pingjin City is nearly thirty miles long.

This is already a very huge city.

After all, the internal diameter is less.

But there are also more than 20 miles.

It turned out to be on Li Ke's drawing.

The city wall facing foreign enemies alone is hundreds of miles long.

If the city is built.

What a huge city it must be?
The height of the city wall is thirty feet.

This is understandable.

After all, such a huge city, the height of the city wall is naturally very high.

However, the height of Baizhang is also very high.

During this period, one zhang was roughly equal to more than three meters.

Thirty feet, that is close to a hundred meters.

This height is already very scary.

It can be said that this is a huge project.

we can even say.

With the industrial capabilities of today's society.

It is simply impossible to do it.

But Li Ke still took out such a blueprint.

Although Di Renjie didn't know much about these things.

But he also knew that this was simply impossible.

"Your Highness, this..."

Di Renjie was in a bit of trouble.

If it is such a giant city.

I'm afraid there won't be any results in a few years.

Just a city wall already requires a lot of time and energy.

Some border cities in Datang today, such as Youzhou.

The city wall is no more than five feet high and no more than ten miles long.

This is already one of the large border cities of Datang.

But this scale.

Compared with Li Ke's current goal, that really pales in comparison.

Li Ke naturally knew the difficulty of these constructions.

So he took out some drawings.

"These are the tools you need to use to build a city."

"You take these things back first, let the craftsmen make these tools first, and use them in quantity."

"After all these things are used, start building the city."

It's not just that the border cities on the Pyu side are huge.

The situation in the Xiangxiong Kingdom is actually the same.

At that time Fang Xuanling was impatient.

Is such a big city trying to empty out the entire Zhang Zhung Kingdom?
Or, do you want to directly include the Zhang Zhung Kingdom?
Such a huge city is simply impossible to build.

Although Fang Xuanling said that he was a minister of the Shu Royal Party.

But now, after all, he is responsible to Li Shimin.

Faced with such absurd things.

He really dared to blow his beard and stare.

But after Li Ke took out these tools.

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment, ready to go back and try.

Build such a huge city.

even in modern society.

It's all an incredible thing.

But it's not impossible.

With Datang's current productivity and creativity.

It is naturally impossible for Li Ke to come up with some too modern machinery.

But some ancient machinery.

The same thing can be done.

However, it takes more time.

And some tools involving simple physics will not appear shocking.

At least for Datang, this is the case.

As Li Ke, take out these things.

Even the public can accept it frankly.

Not to mention these ministers.

When Fang Xuanling went back with the blueprint, he was still complaining.

I don't think this kind of task can be done at all.

He was not young at all.

Now I have received such a big job.

It is estimated that the rest of my life will basically be thrown here.

How could this not make Fang Xuanling angry?
But there was nothing Fang Xuanling could do if he was angry.

He is a wage earner.

The boss has spoken, what else can he do?
Could it be that he just quit the job?

This is of course impossible.

And Li Ke is not aimless.

He took out two giant cities like this.

Not just as a fortress.

Also for preparation.

These two cities will not only be the border fortresses of the two countries in the future.

It will also become a transaction center.

After all, with the gradual unification of the world.

The trading center continues to be in Chang'an.

For businessmen from other countries.

The journey is simply too far away.

And the scale of Chang'an.

It is also impossible to accommodate such a large population.

They can only build new cities.

If the world is already at peace.

That can directly save the design of these city walls.

If you simply build a city, it will naturally be much faster.

After all, there are people who build their own houses.

They just need to come up with some public buildings and commercial street construction.

As long as more and more people gather together.

A city will gradually take shape.

But not now.

The world is still at war.

Both countries need a huge frontier.

In order to protect the safety of the people of their own country.

and so.

This is how these two behemoths were born.

Although Di Renjie didn't scold her.

But the thoughts in his heart were similar to those of Fang Xuanling.

He is young, coupled with a strong curiosity.

So for the vast majority of things.

He has a deeper understanding than Fang Xuanling.

He used to be bored while shopping.

Chatted with many farmers and businessmen.

Know that such a city wants to be built.

It's not just about costs and money.

More importantly, it is a question of the number of workers and funds.

Want to build such a huge city.

It requires terrible consumption.

Even with Datang's current national strength.

It is also difficult to support.

But Li Ke is obviously not worried about this.

Directly let the two cities start working together.

Although it is difficult to support the combination of Datang and Shu.

But it's okay.

They will still have income.

two cities.

Even with the tools he provided as support.

It is also impossible to build it in a short time.

This long period of time gave Li Ke the opportunity to turn over funds.

Moreover.

Really not, isn't there a bank?

As the creator of the Bank of Shu, it doesn't matter if he spends a little money, right?
Actually two cities.

Basically all need Li Ke's input.

Basically, the imperial capital will not give him any help.

After all, it is still an old problem.

Datang itself is not rich.
