As soon as Li Luo picked up this design drawing, his whole body became excited.

This man likes to do this kind of thing!

Also, he's designing a great city. This city will become a famous city through the ages under the will of him and Cui Xiuning.

It's a great sense of accomplishment when you think about it.

Li Luo's Chang'an City is about the same size as the former Tang Chang'an City, but it is not a square, it is a square.

The whole Chang'an City is a big city and a small city, and the Huizi set back the word. Of course, the outermost city is the outer city, the middle is the imperial city, and the center is the palace city.

The palace city is also square, Daming Palace, Taiji Palace, Xingqing Palace, the three major are in the shape of a product. The whole palace city is seven miles wide, the city wall is twenty-eight miles around, covering an area of more than ten square kilometers, which is more than ten times the size of the Ming and Qing Forbidden City of the small family, and the three major cities of the former Tang Dynasty are larger.

Li Luo's three major interiors are similar to those of the former Tang Dynasty, and there are many references to the information of the former Tang Dynasty, but they are more different. For example, it is also Xingqing Palace, and Li Luo's Xingqing Palace is a palace complex where the prince and the underage kings and princesses live.

Miyagi has four palace gates: Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong, and White Tiger. The Suzaku Gate, which faces south, is the main gate.

Ten square kilometers of the palace city, in addition to the three major more than 100 palaces, there are the Imperial Flower Garden, the Taiye Pond, the Polo Field, the Keju Field, the swimming pool, the Grand Theater, the Palace Music Courtyard, the Observatory, the Imperial Stables, the Palace People's Courtyard, the Sixteen Divisions of the Inner Government Yamen, the Palace Street, the Imperial School, the Inner Library, the Arsenal, the Guard Division, and the Shiqu Pavilion that treasures the original ancient books and so on.

In the three major areas, the emperor and queen live in Daming Palace, the emperor and the queen mother live in Taiji Palace, and the prince lives in Xingqing Palace, and Xingqing Palace is the East Palace.

The biggest, the most core, and the most important is, of course, the Daming Palace where the emperor and empress are located. The Daming Palace was built on the Longshou Plain, the site of the former Tang Daming Palace, which is the highest place in the entire Chang'an.

Daming Palace has nine palace gates, is in the northernmost part of the palace city, the building complex is composed of three major halls, five small halls, and dozens of other halls, pavilions, platforms, pavilions. Basically, it is the restoration project of the former Tang Palace.

The three major halls are Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Palace, and Zichen Palace. The function is similar to that of the former Tang Dynasty, which is used to hold large court meetings and major ceremonies, including in front of the Yuan Palace, which is the huge Danfeng Square, and the dragon tail road where hundreds of officials enter the palace.

Xuanzheng Hall is the place where Li Luo held the Chang Dynasty. On both sides, there are nine official offices, namely, the Military Division's Office, the Political Affairs Hall, the Hanlin Academy, the Records Division, the Imperial History Tower, the Internal Government, the Guard Division, the Janissary Division, and the Tai Hospital. The other foreign court officials are all outside the palace.

Zichen Hall is where Li Luo handles daily official business, convenes the imperial meeting, and summons ministers.

After the three major halls, it is the sleeping palace where the emperor and queen live, but it is not the Feishuang Palace, but changed to the Qiankun Palace, and the palace of the emperor and queen is not separated.

After the Qiankun Palace, it is the palace where the concubines live, and most of them are other halls. Although the dormitory belongs to the Daming Palace, it is strictly independent from the three major halls and is heavily guarded.

The second largest is the Taiji Palace. Taiji Palace also has nine gates, which is also the restoration project of the former Tang Taiji Palace. There are also three major halls, except for the emperor, the queen mother, and the concubine, all the concubines of the first emperor live in the Taiji Palace. Obviously, this function is different from the Taiji Palace in the former Tang Dynasty.

The smallest Xingqing Palace is also a restoration project of the Xingqing Palace of the former Tang Dynasty. It is divided into the East Palace and the annex hall where the prince and the princess live. Its Middle Palace is relatively independent, and the palace of the prince and the palace of the princess are equally independent.

However, when the prince reached the age of fifteen, he had to leave Ouchi and go to live outside the palace or in a fief. The princess can live until she gets married. And the princess returns to the palace, any place where she can live in her original residence.

Although these three are all in the palace city, they all have their own palace walls and are relatively independent.

The three major inner ones are in the shape of a pin, surrounding the Taiye Pond and the Yuhuayuan Scenic Area, which covers an area of three miles. Water buildings such as the Bright Moon Hall and Penglai Pavilion will be built in the Taiye Pool. The Imperial Flower Garden will be planted with exotic flowers and plants, bamboo, wood, vines, and roses, stocking birds and beasts, and will also build grass pavilions.

There are five underground drainage ditches in Miyagi that drain the sewage from the palace into the east ditch in the east of the castle.

Donggou not only stores rainwater and domestic sewage in the palace, but also stores rainwater and domestic sewage in the entire Chang'an East City. The sewage from the ditch then flows along the ditch directly to the reservoir in the farmland for irrigation by farmers.

The north ditch, the south ditch, and the west ditch also assume corresponding functions, discharging rainwater and sewage, and irrigating farmland in the suburbs outside the city, killing two birds with one stone.

The imperial city outside the palace is eleven miles wide. There are eight gates in the imperial city, two on each side.

In the imperial city, there are several avenue palaces, Tang Dynasty Palace, Medical Taoist Palace, Heavenly Master's Mansion, Zhendao Palace, Taimiao, Temple of Heaven, Nine Divisions and Twelve Divisions (Temples) Yamen, Datang Bank Head Office, Bell Tower and Drum Tower, National Treasury, Arsenal, Forbidden Army Camp, Royal Palace, Courtier's Mansion above Five Grades and so on.

Although the Imperial City is not a place where ordinary people live, there is also a street market, called the Imperial City Commercial Street, which is divided into four commercial streets, southeast, northwest and northwest, but it is operated by the officials and merchants of the Monopoly Division, which is a state-owned business, and the income goes to the national treasury.

Beyond the imperial city, there is the outer city.

The outer city occupies most of the entire area of Chang'an City, and is inhabited by officials and ordinary people below the fifth grade.

Like the Chang'an City in the former Tang Dynasty, the outer city also set up a fang. However, Li Luo's fang is very different from that of the Tang Dynasty, and the planning of living areas and commercial areas is more scientific and reasonable.

Li Luo's square is actually the community of later generations.

Li Luo planned to divide Chang'an City into four urban counties: Chang'an, Wannian, Shengshi, and Taiping, each of which was divided into southeast, northwest, and northwest.

The roads in the city are divided into three levels: heavenly road, street, and square road.

There are four heavenly roads, in the shape of a tic-tac-toe, every day as wide as seven zhang, every ten zhang, set up a pair of lampstands. A total of 2,000 lampstands are set up in the four heavenly roads, and more than 1,000 catties of fuel are consumed every night.

In conjunction with this, there will be hundreds of fire hose trucks to patrol the city every night to prevent fires. Hundreds of police officers patrol the night market every night.

The streets are in the shape of a mouth, and they circle around the imperial city and the outer city. Each square is arranged relative to each other with the street as the central axis. Each square has a square wall. Right outside the street and shops on both sides of the street.

On both sides of the sky road and the street, flowers and trees should be planted, and sidewalks and carriage paths should be planned.

Every county must have a clean city office, manage clean and environmentally friendly, handle manure, and process manure.

In addition to the shops and commercial buildings on both sides of the commercial street, four department stores in the southeast, northwest and northwest should be built to operate comprehensive department stores such as clothing, cloth, leather goods, jewelry, stationery, books, food, carriages and horses, etc., and attract investment to private operators to form four major commercial centers in the east, west, south, and north markets.

Each square also has to build a school, a juju field, and a fire pool. Each county has built a public library, a polo field, a park, a mercy and grace house, a bronze reporting office, and a theater. It is also necessary to be equipped with a fire hose truck.

There must also be a Praetorian Guard barracks that can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to defend the nine gates of the capital.

The streets are also to be lit with lampstands, and 2,000 lampstands are also needed. The Heavenly Dao plus the cost of lighting the streets costs 100,000 silver dollars a year. But in the future, Chang'an City, under the illumination of thousands of lampstands, will also become a city that never sleeps, and the increased commercial tax revenue is enough to offset the lighting costs.

The square road is the road between the squares. Although there are walls in the square (community), they are not closed and can circulate with each other. However, from one city to another, it must be registered, just like the high-end community with stricter management in later generations.

This is, of course, for the sake of security and management needs.

Chang'an City is a super metropolis that will carry a population of more than one million in the future. Therefore, the houses in each square must be built with a two-story attic as the main building, and the model of a courtyard must be adopted to save the courtyard and prevent the people from enjoying a courtyard with a single door.

There is another benefit to this design. Several families live in the form of a courtyard house, and they can supervise each other, and once someone commits a crime or commits a crime, or there is something unethical, or there is a foreign population, it is easy to be discovered and difficult to conceal.

Another benefit is that it can bring neighbors closer together.

In this way, the market is dense, not closed, and conducive to management.

However, considering the different wealth of the residents, the courtyard houses are also divided into three classes according to their size and luxury. Wealthy businessmen can buy the whole set at all. Or buy the vacant land in the city auctioned by the government and build it yourself, but the area is limited.

Each square also has an underground sewage ditch, which is arranged like a centipede's foot, and each courtyard has a sewage outlet, which is built in the low position of the yard, and when it rains, the water flows into the ditch.

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning's plan is too big and too regular. They planned to engage in an ancient real estate development and build 40,000 courtyard houses to meet the housing needs of millions of people.

In this way, the drainage and sewage channels alone are thousands of miles long, and even if the average cross-sectional area of half a square meter of each channel takes 2,000 people to repair it for a year.

40,000 courtyard houses, 100,000 people need to repair for a year.

In addition to the construction of the imperial palace and city walls, government offices, etc., as well as logging, brick burning, quarrying, etc., it will take 500,000 yuan to complete it in two years!

Chang'an City, which is completed in this way, will become an unprecedented "city of heaven".

Li Luo wants to leave this Chang'an City to future generations as the greatest architectural heritage, and glorify future generations for thousands of years.

However, all the captives and slaves of the Tang Kingdom are now only more than 300,000.

They also have to eat, and the consumption of physical work is very large, even if there is no salary, it will cost three million stone of grain in two years, which is equivalent to three million silver dollars.

The 200,000 people who were hired had wages in addition to food.

This calculation is several million yuan.

Even with hundreds of thousands of slaves and captives, the project still required tens of millions of silver dollars.

But don't forget, this is real estate development. Of the 40,000 sets of courtyard houses, in addition to the compensation for the 200,000 people of Chang'an, there are at least 30,000 sets and 120,000 households left. If a house is sold for 50 yuan, it can also recoup 6 million or more.

Li Luo will not lose.

The Great Wall City is a wooden and stone building. Only bricks, tiles, wood and stone are used as building materials, not cement.

Because, the production of modern cement is too difficult, far from that simple. Don't talk about Li Luo, Cui Xiuning can't help it.

Not to mention anything else, a high-temperature boiler of 1600 degrees, the two can only think about it. The highest temperature that the two of them have made so far, that is, 1300 degrees, is already very good, and it can't be higher. It's a few hundred degrees off, how to do it?

It is also necessary to crush the machine, which grinds the hard material of limestone and iron ore into flour.

Therefore, Li Luo really felt that it was outrageous for the traversers inside to make cement at every turn.

Let's get a 1,600-degree heat first.

No?

And you make cement? Isn't it?

Okay, even if you have the ability to make a furnace temperature of 1600 degrees, what about the crusher? Grinding iron ore into powder by hand?

Even if the powder process can meet the requirements, how many people do you need to do this? So how scary is the cost of what you burn out?

And what about virgin cement?

No, it doesn't.

The original cement is not real cement at all, and the effect is not as good as glutinous rice water and lime.

Li Luo retracted his thoughts and wrote and drew on the paper before he finished the draft.

But the man soon became troubled.

Which big architect to preside over?

Liu Bingzhong? I'm already dead.

Who else?

Li Luo vaguely remembered that there was a very powerful ancient architect in the early Yuan Dynasty, who seemed to be surnamed Zhang, but he couldn't remember who it was.

This matter can only be handed over to the Special Investigation Bureau. What Li Luo didn't know was that the great architect Zhang Zhichun had been "invited" by the Special Investigation Bureau and was on his way to Guanzhong.

Li Luo put away the drawings with satisfaction, and looked longingly, as if he saw a great city full of beautiful and classical Chinese beauty, rising from the ground.

It is a more brilliant and civilized city of heaven than the former Tang Chang'an and Luoyang!

Become an unparalleled pearl at the eastern end of the Silk Road.

The man was a little excited, he decided, when Chang'an City was repaired, he must stand on the highest observation deck in the palace and the highest in the city, light a cigarette, and smoke while overlooking the land of Guanzhong?

Is it pulling the wind to the sky?

"Your Majesty, Niangniang has a secret letter delivered." Yang Yu's voice interrupted Li Luo's thoughts.

Li Luo perked up, "Present it." ”

Yang Yu presented a sealed letter and respectfully withdrew.

Li Luo opened the letter with a paper cutter, picked up the letter and looked at it.

"Luo, see the letter like a face. My children and I are very good, everything is normal in the imperial court, the autumn tax grain is 18 million stones, the commercial tax is 8.7 million yuan, and the state-run monopoly income is 4.3 million yuan..."

"Can Guanzhong be able to? Is it dry? Pay attention to your body, the children miss you very much, and I miss you too..."

''My father-in-law said that cutting trees from Beishan and Longshan, and drifting down Jingshui and Weishui to Chang'an, would save a lot of manpower, and... These suggestions are all good and can be adopted..."

"Mr. Wen is almost in Guanzhong, there are still 100,000 captives, and I will send you one..."

"I also want to tell you that you have been honored by the ministers again, and you are the best in the sky! Kind, right? When you take the whole of Shaanxi, you have to come back quickly, I hope you come back and regenerate..."

"Ning. October 18 of the second year. Don't read it. ”

Li Luo accepted the letter with a smile and said to himself: "Who did you send to sell Guanzi?" ”

As for the method mentioned by his stepfather, Li Luo also felt that it was very reasonable.

When the Tang Dynasty built the imperial palace, it was necessary to transfer timber from other places, and those who went to the south to cut wood "operated the axe and pounded ten thousand people".

But Li Luo built the palace, but he didn't have to go to the south to cut wood.

Why?

Because at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the mountains around Guanzhong were no longer much to be fed up. Guanzhong went through the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty for three generations of construction, Guangying Palace, and cut down the big trees in Guanzhong in less than a hundred years.

But now, Guanzhong has not built a palace for hundreds of years. In Qinling, Beishan, Longshan and other places, hundreds of years of towering trees abound, saving Li Luo a lot of effort.

However, there is no golden silk nanmu in Shaanxi. And the golden silk nanmu is the best material for beams and columns. Other wood, can be used Shaanxi wood, beams and columns, preferably with golden silk nanmu.

And the best golden silk nanmu is in Sichuan. It is not much trouble to cut down the golden silk nanmu in Sichuan and pass the Jialing River by boat.

And now there are still a lot of golden silk nanmu stocks. Quantities and dimensions are fully guaranteed.

Then, Li Luo also wrote back to Cui Xiuning:

"Ning, see the letter like a face. Not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns... It's Jefiyeh, like in a dream. If you don't return, you can't go back to the mountains. High-rise buildings leaning on, the other side of the people... Li Shuxiu flowers fly, Luo Shui Ning is clear...... Luo, October 27, 2nd year, Huaqing Palace, Lishan. ”

After Li Luo finished writing the letter, he sealed it with his own hands, and sent it back to Jiangling.

…………

"Minister, Wen Tianxiang, meet Your Majesty!"

On the seventh day of the winter month, Wen Tianxiang personally led an army of 100,000 and 100,000 prisoners to Guanzhong, and Daohua Qing Palace visited Li Luo.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wen, I'm really waiting for your soldiers and horses to attack Longxi, Longdong and Hetao! You've come just in time! Li Luo was very happy to see Wen Tianxiang, "Mr. Wen has worked hard. You fought very well in the Central Plains and contained the Kwantung Yuan Army, and I am very satisfied. ”

Li Luo personally helped Wen Tianxiang up and ordered Wen Tianxiang to serve tea.

Wen Tianxiang was much thinner than before, and he showed a wry smile, "Your Majesty has an overreputation, and the minister is extremely ashamed." In this Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the ministers did not gain an inch of land and did not fight a battle, but they lost thousands of soldiers and horses and spent millions of dollars and grains. ”

"That's already a big deal." Li Luo was unimpressed by Wen Tianxiang's modesty. "Mr. Wen didn't fight a battle in the Central Plains, and this time he came to Guanzhong, he really wanted to fight."

Wen Tianxiang said: "Does Your Majesty want to fight Northern Shaanxi and Hetao first, or do you want to fight Longxi?" ”

Li Luo invited Wen Tianxiang to sit down, "What does Mr. Wen mean?" ”

Wen Tianxiang said: "Hetao and Yinshan are in the hands of the Yuan court, but separated by the Yellow River and the Great Wall, it will be difficult for the Yuan court cavalry to go south for a while and a half. The Yuan army in the northwest was blocked by Guanshan, and it was difficult to enter Shaanxi for a while. However, we can't afford to put it off any longer. ”

"The minister thought that the troops should divide the mountain road, go all the way north to Shaanxi, cross the Yellow River to the Great Wall, and take advantage of the weakness to take the Hetao, so that they can get war horses and party cavalry. Especially in Xiazhou, Yinzhou, Western Xia, it is said that there are still many immigrants from the party, and the Han people in Yan'an are also good at riding and shooting. ”

"The second road, cross the street pavilion from Guanlong Road, enter Qishan to recover Longdong, and recover Longxi all the way."

"Your Majesty's ancestral home is Longxi, and it is best to personally lead the army to recover the ancestral land. Another two generals were sent to recover northern Shaanxi and Hetao, and Longdong. ”

Li Luo nodded in favor, and Wen Tianxiang's words went to his heart. It's really the same as the hero.

What Mr. Wen said is extremely true. Originally, I wanted to ask Mr. Wen to march north and recover northern Shaanxi and Hetao. But now that winter is today, the snow has fallen in the north, and Mr. Wen is a southerner, and I can't bear the pain of the wind and snow on your hands. ”

Wen Tianxiang was very moved when he heard this, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is compassionate, and the minister is inspired." However, Your Majesty can rest assured that the minister is just fifty years old, and his muscles and bones have been boiling well since he was a child, and he is not afraid of the north wind and snow. Furthermore, if you are afraid of the bitter cold and do not work for the king's affairs, the ministers will not take it. ”

Li Luo thought for a while, "Then Mr. Hardship." I'm going to give you 60,000 soldiers and horses, is that enough? ”

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know what the enemy situation is in northern Shaanxi and Hetao?" Wen Tianxiang didn't answer immediately if it was enough, but asked about the enemy's situation, showing a steady demeanor.

Li Luo said with a smile: "There are more than 30,000 Yuan troops in northern Shaanxi, most of them are traitors, and the cavalry is only a few thousand. There are more than 20,000 Yuan troops in the south of the Yellow River, and more than 10,000 cavalry in the north of the Yellow River and south of the Great Wall. ”

Wen Tianxiang understood, "The Yuan army does not have many troops, and 50,000 soldiers and horses are enough. However, it is necessary to occupy the local control of the Guan River, and 60,000 is not much. And what about Longdong? Who is Your Majesty going to send? ”

"Let Xiao Bei go." Li Luo didn't think twice, "Didn't Longdong migrate a lot of Khitan immigrants?" He can speak Khitan language, let him recruit a group of Khitan cavalry, and estimate that 10,000 cavalry can still be recruited. There are not many Yuan troops in Longdong, and it is enough to give him 50,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Longxi, I will send 50,000 soldiers and horses. It used to be the jurisdiction of the right section of the Jin State Longxi, and there were many Jurchen remnants, who could also be recruited as cavalry. Well, more importantly, I have to go back to Longxi Didao to worship my ancestors. ”

Wen Tianxiang said: "The military situation is urgent, in order to prevent the Yuan Court reinforcements from arriving, the minister will set off three days later." ”

"Good! Then the tenth day of the first month of winter, three ways at the same time! Li Luo immediately made a decision.

The major event of sending hundreds of thousands of troops on the three roads was finalized between the two monarchs and ministers.

"Your Majesty, the minister came to Guanzhong this time, in addition to bringing 100,000 prisoners, he also brought Zhang Zhichun. Her Majesty the Queen said that this person is a master builder, and those who have built the Nantianmen and Taishan Dao Palace should be able to serve as the minister of palace construction. Wen Tianxiang remembered an important matter.

Right! It's Zhang Zhichun! Li Luo remembered who it was as soon as he heard it.

Zhang Zhichun, one of the top ten architectural masters in ancient times.

This person should be able to do it!

"Where is this person?" Li Luo asked.

"Avoid it, just wait outside the palace to see you."

"Yang Bai!" Li Luo shouted, "Spread Zhang Zhichun's Dao Chief." ”

"No!"

It didn't take long for a dark-faced Gao Dao man about fifty years old to enter the Yingtian Pavilion. When he saw Li Luo, he immediately bowed and said very respectfully: "Poor Dao Zhang Zhichun, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! ”

He has piercing eyes, a wide mouth and a lion's nose, and a beard with tendrils. Although he was wearing a Taoist robe, he didn't look like a Taoist.

Li Luo smiled: "Daochang Zhang is exempt, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Zhichun thanked him neither humbly nor arrogantly, and sat on the futon without losing his manners.

"Dao Chief, look, how is this picture?" Li Luo took out the design of Chang'an City and handed it to Zhang Zhichun.

Zhang Zhichun looked at the drawings, his face showed a slightly excited look, and after reading it for a while, he bowed his head, "Your Majesty is a pedantic celestial, thinks high, is really mysterious and indescribable, and has won the essence of Taoism, and is worthy of being the son of truth." ”

Before he came to Guanzhong, he had a deep conversation with Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng praised Li Luo as the son of truth, and he really felt it at this time.

The queen had shown him what was said on the drawing. Originally, he thought it was a clever idea offered by a wise person, but now it seems that the emperor and empress themselves have figured it out.

This had to make Zhang Zhichun admire.

It is definitely not a fluke that this noble man can be the emperor and fight against Dayuan. He is worthy of being the son of truth.

Li Luo asked: "Zhang Daoren thinks, is it feasible?" ”

Zhang Zhichun nodded without hesitation, "It's completely feasible." It's just that the huge amount of labor and the huge expenses may exceed that of Sui Ying Daxing and Yuan Jiandu! ”

Li Luo smiled: "It's okay. I have 300,000 prisoners of war, and I can use them. ”

ps: It's late today, it's too busy during the day. Plus more will not forget. Today's children's shoes are really pitiful, I can't get a salary, spend money to fight a lawsuit, invite us to dinner, and give me red envelopes, where can I bear to ask for it? It's sad to think about. Crab everyone supports, good night, and I wish you all the best.
