When the Forbidden City was renovated, how much was the floor per square meter?

1. At that time, this kind of floor was used to lay the floor of the Forbidden City. It is said that it takes 720 days to make the floor, so one or two pieces of gold and one brick, if changed to the current statement, should be no less than 6.5438+10,000 yuan, so according to this calculation, one square meter should be 6.5438+0.5 million yuan. After this algorithm, we can imagine the huge cost of laying the floor of the Forbidden City at that time.

Secondly, the clay used to make this brick is taken from Taihu Lake, and the quality of the selected drawings is very good, which is sticky but not sandy. In addition, these clays must be placed outdoors for one year after selection, and then they are soaked in water before production. It can be said that the ignition process took seven months, and it can be fired in a kiln after drying in the shade.

Third, they are very picky about the materials for burning earth. For example, when they are fired, they will use chaff grass first, and it will take a month to remove the vitality inside. Then they will chop wood and burn it for a month, and finally they will use pine branches for about 40 days. It can be said that the calculation takes a long time, and they have to undergo strict inspection after leaving the kiln, and they will be laid if there is no problem.

4. In the process of checking bricks, if there is noise when copying bricks or there are some holes, then these bricks are counted as waste products, so they need to be re-fired. Therefore, when choosing these floor tiles, they can only enter the Forbidden City after they are perfected. According to statistics, it takes two years to get from mud to bricks.

Therefore, this is why the floor used in the Forbidden City is very expensive, mainly because its tools are more complicated and the cost is more time-consuming.
