Chapter 72: Yucheng (1)
In Wu'an City undergoing rapid changes, Liujiabao has also completed a transformation quickly, perhaps it should be called Yucheng, Liu Feng on the newly built south city wall, not named after Liujiabao, but let the craftsman engrave the word Yucheng, he has the intention to dilute the concept that the castle belongs to the Liu family, and the people of all ethnic groups in the city have more or less Yu records in their inheritance, in the name of Yucheng, to make the people living in the city agree with each other
At this moment, Yucheng also has the shadow of the city, the various functional areas in the city are clearly divided, the southwest of the city military camp craftsmen camp and clothing and leather spinning salt medicine and other workshops, and Liu Feng also expanded the kiln of firing bricks and tiles on the west mountain outside the city, in the workshop area, Liu Feng also has a large part of the land, pay attention to the follow-up development, and these lands in Cizhou after the arrival of a small part of the profits.
The south of the city is centered on five restaurants, completely forming a commercial area, and the decoration style of the five restaurants is also completely different, under Liu Feng's suggestion, the Vermilion Bird House is mainly decorated with the southern attic in the Lin'an area, and the food service of the restaurant is also mainly in the south, and even Liu Yanbei also bought and invited from the south to form a southern women's music workshop. The Xuanwu Building in the north, although the construction is full of magnificence, but in the setting of objects, it strives to be fine and extravagant, regardless of the desk, the utensils are all permeable to the remarkable atmosphere, but also exquisite.
The White Tiger Tower in the West and the Xuanwu Tower in the North also have a common feature, that is, there are arrangements for the grassland peoples, there are boxes in their ethnic style, and there are meals that meet their eating habits.
The Qinglong Building of the East, but it shows the broadness of Confucianism and Taoism culture, from the box in the building is in accordance with a series of old Confucius, Meng, Zhuang Mo, etc., or the arrangement of outstanding figures, the scene in the box is also specially set up, according to the background of the historical record, the meaning of the building is created by the antique atmosphere.
The east of the city is full of residential areas, most of the villagers of the original Liujiabao are arranged in this area, but the center of the city is the Liufu School Medical Camp Ancestral Hall, etc., and the north of the city is a series of political departments such as the Sitian Division, the Household Division, the Judicial Division, the Bing Division, the Cang, etc., which is also established by Guo Chongtao after the rectification of Yucheng, with the continuous prosperity of Yucheng, and even surpassed Cizhou in a certain aspect, Guo Chongtao introduced some talents from Cizhou City to Yucheng, and completely set up a shelf of Cizhou administrative center in Yucheng.
Today's Cizhou City has been completely emptied by Liu Feng, and the craftsmen's warehouses and other places, except for some villagers and Zeng Rong's wolf warrior camp, most of the rest have been arranged to three places in Yucheng, Wei County, Linzhang.
When Liu Feng returned to the fort from Cizhou, he began a series of arrangements such as the auction, and at this moment the auction in Yucheng has also spread from north to south, and the brothers of Liu Yanxi and Liu Yanbei vigorously hired famous singers and female chefs from all over the country under the signal of Liu Feng, and the Xu family in Huainan also pulled up the banner to do advertising in Huainan, and the Sifang Restaurant at this moment has also cooperated with each other everywhere.
Although the transportation of Yucheng is not convenient, but its current location is very ingenious, it is located in the periphery of the two places of the Later Han Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and even the people of Jingshu and Shu can come from afar, the big merchants of the Khitan Nanjing Xijin Mansion and Xijing Datong Mansion in the north also heard the news to Yucheng, which not only formed a market for the circulation of goods in the north and south, but also not only the bidding of Yucheng can bring such a great effect.
With the gradual control of Wu'an City, Feishui and other places by Cizhou, as soon as they entered the territory of Cizhou, the situation was very different, and Yuchengnan After half a year of repair, the improvement and change were greater, and those thieves and bandits who robbed the road halfway have long been gone.
Coming all the way from Xianghe Mountain, the farmland next to the road is continuous, and with the simple repair of the road, you can sit on a large farm, because Liu Feng considers the safety problem, these farms are built according to the Hakka tulou, the biggest raw material for the construction of the tulou is clay, and it happens that the clay in the area of Xiangheshan is available everywhere.
Looking far away on Xianghe Mountain, in the endless green, there are more than a dozen black spots, in the north of Xianghe Mountain, south of Yucheng, this is about 30 miles wide and nearly 200 miles long in a narrow and gentle area, there are more than a dozen Zhuangbao tulou, or earthen houses.
Approaching these agricultural forts, you will find that this is a lively village and town, the larger or more than 10,000 villagers, the smaller ones have more than 5,000 villagers, and the villagers living here have already taken off their pale dishes, all with ruddy faces, with a satisfied smile, these scenes and last year's them, like two worlds.
In fact, there is still a steady stream of villagers on this road who are dragging their families or alone, and everyone is full of hope on their faces, as if they can live well when they get here, but it is also true, after Yucheng entered a period of stable development, Liu Feng let go of his hand and accepted the villagers who came to join him.
Especially in the summer, the farms to which Yucheng belongs, or those who are arranged to work, they no longer need a pound of food per person every day, with wild vegetables and some meat supplements, the demand for food has slowly reached a stable point, no longer a bottomless pit, and the leopard Tao camp on the Xianghe will hunt wild things every day, and the livestock and poultry raised in the farm also provide a certain amount of food.
When passing through the farmland, it can be full of grains, tall seedlings, it can be predicted that the autumn harvest will be a bumper harvest, and those gurgling waterwheels also announce the difference of Yucheng to the merchants and villagers.
The more than a dozen tulou, but also gradually attracted businessmen, more than 10,000 people of the tulou have three, and these villagers also have their own living needs and small specialties, Xianghe Mountain south of a place pepper tree, walnut tree, wild leek and so on are picked or cultivated by these hard-working villagers, slowly each tulou formed their own small bazaar.
Moreover, each tulou here is guarded by a team of eagle battalions, and all the facilities in the tulou think that Yucheng has the scale of a small town, and the thick and solid clay walls give the villagers living in it the greatest sense of security. Whenever the villagers from other places are arranged to live in the tulou, they can quickly integrate into the life of the tulou, and each tulou is managed by the villager Si An Sitian and the captain of the garrison.
There are about ten days from the beginning of the porcelain auction in Yucheng, and the south gate of Yucheng is full of cars and horses, and there is a convoy of merchants who transport goods everywhere, at this moment it shows the busyness of Yucheng, the sergeant of the Yingyang camp on the city wall stands upright, inspecting the villagers and merchants who enter the fort.
Although there was a lot of traffic, there was no confusion at all, there were sergeants in front of the city gate who were responsible for directing traffic, there were lanes for businessmen to turn into the lanes, and there were also pedestrian walkways in and out of the city.
