Craftsmen of the Nine Dynasties: I Built the Forbidden City in the Ming Dynasty

Zhao Hui, a doctor of civil engineering from Tongji, died suddenly after staying up late, and his soul traveled to the early Ming Dynasty. When she opened her eyes, she was held down to worship her. The bride was an eight-year-old girl, crying profusely. The bearded middle-aged man next to him glared: "I will give you my youngest daughter. If you dare to treat her badly, behead her!" Only then did Zhao Hui know that he had become Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law and married the most favored Princess Baoqing. On the wedding night, the system was activated: [Great Power Engineering System] was activated, and the three-dimensional modeling, material formulas, and human construction drawing library were unlocked. Looking at the tattered earthen walls of Nanjing City, Zhao Hui suffered from an occupational disease: "Can this thing... Can withstand Zhu Di's cannon?" Since then, Ming Dynasty has had a consort who "does not do his job properly"—— Zhu Yuanzhang let him enjoy the blessing, and he ran to build the city wall. When the cement became sticky, Old Zhu was confused: "Is this harder than stone?" Zhu Yunwen asked him to avoid trouble, so he pretended to be sick and drew drawings at home. Emperor Jianwen was ousted, but he was still drawing. Zhu Di asked him to build Beijing City, and he directly destroyed the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Divine Machine Cannon. Zhu Gaochi was his partner, Zhu Zhanji played chess and drank tea with him, Zhu Qizhen was watched by him since childhood... During the nine dynasties, he sent away eight emperors and spent his whole life building houses, water conservancy, firearms, and treasure ships. The city of Beijing has stood for six hundred years, but no one knew that the old prince-consort who always hid behind the pillars and dozed off was the real backbone of the Ming Dynasty. This is not a Machiavellian story, but a story about an engineer who used concrete and blueprints to turn the entire Ming Dynasty into a steel frame.
