Chapter 149 Renovation of Chang'an.Add more to the 1.5k monthly pass

It has been a lot of time since the last harvest of faith.

The shocking effect caused by the establishment of Daluo Tian City has begun to fade away.

The people of Chang'an, who were accustomed to the existence of this immortal trace, gradually declined the amount of faith provided to Bai Yuqi.

So it's time for another wave of things, Bai Yuqi is ready to carry out a vigorous "Chang'an Urban Transformation Plan".

Either he won't do it, or if he wants to do it, he will make a big one, and he will renovate the entire Chang'an City! Or how can he show off his power as Emperor Wuji?

Strictly speaking, because of the climate problems of spring drought and summer waterlogging in the early Tang Dynasty, autumn tide and warm winter, Chang'an, the product of the Sui Dynasty's "face project", was not livable.

Moreover, due to the limitations of ancient building technology and layout design levels, Chang'an has always had such and such hidden dangers.

In addition, due to the disrepair of many areas, Chang'an City does not look as majestic and magnificent as imagined, and it is somewhat dilapidated.

The most regrettable thing in ancient China is that all kinds of historical buildings are mostly built of civil engineering.

Damaged by the erosion of time and war, it is difficult to survive to future generations like some rock-cut buildings in the West.

Even if it is Chang'an now, it will be destroyed in the hands of Huang Chao in a few hundred years.

After all, Chang'an will be the starting point and end point of the Silk Road, and it will also be the center of the world.

With the rammed earth city wall, which is only 5.4 meters high now, and has been eroded by wind and rain, there are pits, numbness, and leprosy everywhere, and it is not mellow at all, how can it show the magnificent and domineering style of the Chinese Celestial Empire?

Don't think that the ancient city wall can be so majestic, although the Chang'an city wall that has survived to later generations has reached 12 meters high, it is the product of successive dynasties with the improvement of construction technology, like Lucia matryoshka dolls on the original basis, layer by layer.

So Bai Yuqi planned to renovate Chang'an City.

The majestic rock buildings that have endured for a long time have been built to create a "Chinese wonder" for future generations.

It also allows everyone who sees this "city of wonders" to contribute a wave of rich faith to him.

In order to realize this plan, Bai Yuqi, who activated the "Knowledge of Architecture and Engineering", took up the profession of [Construction Engineer], mastered the [construction] craft, and accumulated rich experience in the previous large number of infrastructure construction processes, and has been called a "master builder".

Not only did he design a huge model of a new city by combining various architectural concepts from later generations, but he also signaled the disciples of [Tiangongmen] to recruit craftsmen in order to speed up the progress of the project.

Although there are not many high-level craftsmen, there are nearly 100,000 basic apprentices and laborers, which is almost all the craftsmen that can be collected from the entire Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the Tiangong Sect that such a large group of craftsmen has gathered, and it has also caused gossip from some people.

More than once, rumors were spread that Tiangongmen intended to gather people to rebel, trying to arouse the emperor's suspicion and alienation of Bai Yuqi, a "god".

But how could the emperor, who had already seen the role of the Heavenly Machine Craftsman Clan, believe these groundless rumors, not to mention that these craftsmen were originally summoned from the capitals and counties of the Ten Dao Prefectures of the Tang Dynasty by his order.

In Bai Yuqi's plan, the area of Chang'an City will be expanded more than ten times on the basis of the existing more than 80 square kilometers, reaching about 1,000 square kilometers.

Don't look at 1,000 square kilometers is just the scale of the seventh and eighth line small counties in later generations, but when the time comes, it will be built with the "Taiji Imperial City" as the core, and the "Yin and Yang Liangyi District" will surround the left and right to form a second ring.

The four elephant areas of "Qinglong, Baihu, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu" constitute three rings, the eight trigram areas of "Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun" are four rings, and the 64 hexagram areas of Fuxi, such as "Tun, Meng, Need, Lawsuit, and Division", form five rings.

Further afield, in fact, it is possible to expand the "365 Zhoutian District" to the sixth ring, but for now, the fifth ring is enough...... The main thing is that there are more than a million people in Chang'an, and they don't need such a big place.

In the planning, the "Taiji Imperial City" is naturally not to mention the palace inside, the residence of the emperor and his relatives, and the office space of hundreds of officials.

The "Yin and Yang Liangyi District" is a luxury garden villa area, which is planned to be provided for the elite class to live in in the future, so that they can work in the nearest court, which is an unavoidable social class gap in the feudal dynasty.

As for the "Sixiang District", it is planned to be built into parks, reservoirs, markets, factories, warehouses and other industrial and commercial leisure and entertainment functional areas.

There is also a "gossip area" that is ready to be used as a high-end community for the wealthy class to live in, and the "sixty-four trigram area" is the area where the ordinary people live.

When the time comes, the entire Chang'an will look down from the air, and it will be an incomparably large and complex Taiji Bagua Array.

At the same time, the well-established high-altitude water supply pipelines, urban transportation waterways, underground drainage culverts and transportation networks will also be integrated.

In terms of water sources, there is no need to worry about it, and the pattern of "Wei, Jing, Feng, Waterlogging, Wei, Zhu, Chan, and Ba" is not a joke.

At that time, once the new Chang'an is completed, the four rivers of "Wei, Feng, Wei and Chan", which just enclose Chang'an, will become the natural moat of Chang'an.

Not to mention that in the "Sixiang District" in the city, four artificial water storage lakes will be built: "Qinglong Lake, Baihu Lake, Vermilion Lake, and Xuanwu Lake...... Of course, if you want to build such a large "wonder" city, it is impossible for Bai Yuqi alone.

Even if you add the 100,000 craftsmen of Tiangongmen, it will be a super project that takes a long time, and it cannot be completed in a short time.

Moreover, the craftsmen of Tiangongmen, although they have mastered the [Soil Removal Technique], [Stone Wall Technique], [Rock Pillar Technique], [Stone Shaping Technique], [Fossil to Mud], [Turning Mud into Stone]...... and so on, the construction of a building complex with stone as the main body can be completely made of local materials, and there is almost no cost except for manpower.

But [Tiangongmen] can't come out to do day work for no reason, and engage in voluntary labor, right?

This is to build for Datang, why let Wujimen contribute and pay for 100,000 craftsmen?

Although with the speed of accumulating wealth in Daluo Heavenly City, it is not that it cannot afford the food expenses of 100,000 craftsmen.

But the problem is that the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers can't develop patience and take what Wujimen does for granted.

This is also why after Wujimen settled in Chang'an, it has always only tossed around on its own one-third of an acre.

Even if the roads in Chang'an City were covered in mud on sunny days and mud on rainy days, Bai Yuqi would never mention asking the craftsmen of Tiangongmen to help repair them.

And Bai Yuqi didn't speak, and the Tang Dynasty monarchs didn't know what his plans were, because of his identity as the "Wuji Emperor", it was also difficult to ask for it clearly.
