It is also very important to supervise the construction of Licheng. Fortunately, there is experience in building mulberry and building. All materials are unified in size to form modules. Coupled with the assistance of cattle and horses, animal power and construction machinery, the construction speed is extremely fast.

The process goes something like this:

Niu Ma first transported the material modules (including: masonry, tiles, wood, chalk, etc.) to the site for the construction of a house. Consolidate the foundation, erect tower cranes and scaffolding. Houses were built and walled around them. Sufficient manpower, it will be completed in a few days.

In particular, the emergence of tower cranes has solved the problem of high-altitude handling of materials when building buildings. So that the craftsmen only need to focus on building, and do more with less.

It can be like building blocks to build a three-story building. The most important thing is the use of building modules. Of course, another disadvantage that comes with this is that the heavy buildings built are all the same. And that's okay. When the household moves in, it will be renovated according to the actual needs. After only two or three years, it can be like Lou Sang, in a thousand forms.

This is called people's livelihood.

Licheng spans the Liting ditch. It is the southwest gateway of Liu Bei's fiefdom. Therefore we need to build walls.

Successive dynasties regarded the construction of cities and capitals as "major events of the country". There is a detailed system. The same is true today. In order to make "the small shall not be arrogant, and the cheap shall not exceed the expensive", it is often stipulated in the system: "There is a system of clothes, a degree of palace, a number of people, and funeral sacrifices are all appropriate (the same ceremony)." ”

In the construction of cities, the "royal system" must also be observed. The area of the castle where the castle is located, the height of the city walls, the number of gates, the types of buildings in the city, the location of the market, the width of the roads, etc., are almost all regulated, and they are not allowed to be crossed without permission.

"Hanshu Jia Yi Biography": "The respect of the lord is like a hall, the ministers are like your majesty, and the people are like the ground." Therefore, on the ninth level of His Majesty, the place is far away, and the hall is high; His Majesty is dead, and if he is close to the ground, he will be humble. The high ones are difficult to climb, and the humble ones are easy to climb (mausoleum, multiply), and the reason is also good. Therefore, the ancient holy king system is a rank, there are ministers and doctors, there are princes and uncles outside, and then there are officials and officials, extending to the people, the hierarchy is clear, and the son of heaven is added, so his respect is unreachable. "Jia Yi uses the hall, majesty, land, and incorruptible residence as a metaphor for the establishment of rank. It also shows that the Han Dynasty built a city with strict hierarchical regulations.

This is true of the capital of the country, as well as of the county, county, province, and eup.

There are specific regulations on the size of the walls, the height of the walls, and the number of gates at all levels.

"The city of the Son of Heaven is nine high, seven princes, five uncles, and three sons." "Examination of the Work": "The craftsman camps the country, the square is nine miles, and the three gates are nearby." "It refers to the royal capital. The system of three doors on one side of the royal capital was still strictly observed in the Han Dynasty. "Xijing Fu": "Open three doors next to it, and three Tu Yi Courts." "Three doors on one side, three doors."

And the capital of the princes is usually one side and two gates.

There are also regulations on the width of the walls. The princes' capitals were no more than three feet wide.

In addition, there are also regulations on Mingtang and Biyong (Mingtang Waishui is called 'Biyong'). "Suburban Ritual Chronicles": "The Son of Heaven said that the Ming Hall was Biyong, and the princes said that they were accompanied by the palace." "Pan's words are half-also." That is, the princes are only half the size of what the Son of Heaven built. "White Tiger Pass": "The altar of the Son of Heaven is five zhang, and the altar of the princes is half the altar of the Son of Heaven." That's what I mean.

"Beginner's Residence Department House Article": "House is also the first (house), and there is a second order of A and B." As soon as it is said that it is not from the inner door, the name of the person facing the avenue is called the first. Although the lord is a marquis, the food is less than 10,000 households, and he is not allowed to be the first. Its house is in the middle, and it is not worthy of the first. This is the provision for the "first".

Of course. Although the laws and regulations are strict, there are still cases of overreach. "Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicle": "The clan has land, and the ministers and doctors compete for luxury, and the limits of the chamber and the car clothes are on the limit" In addition, the royal family is becoming more and more luxurious, and the princes are vying to follow suit. There are also many oversteps in the construction of castles. For example, "Hanshu Liang Xiaowang Biography": "King Xiaowang built the East Garden, more than 300 miles in the square, 70 miles in the vast Suiyang City, Dazhi Palace, for the resumption of the road, from the palace to the platform more than 30 miles. The Son of Heaven was given the banner, rode from thousands of horses, called the police, and spoke like the Son of Heaven."

Of course, Liu Bei does not need to be compared with King Liang Xiao.

Everything is built according to the regulations. And try to implement the lower limit.

You can open two doors and only open one. The rammed earth is built, and then the bricks are inside and outside. The thickness is within three zhang. Corner towers, towers, walls, urn cities, arrow towers, bed crossbows, etc., are readily available. Then lead the water of the ditch to surround the moat. He also ordered Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to divide their troops to defend them, which was enough to ensure the safety of the western border.

Of course, this is all just a design plan that exists on the board. Implementing any of these items takes a lot of time.

I am also afraid of quick success and quick profits, and there will be many accidents. Liu Bei strictly ordered Su Bo not to be impatient. In addition, it is not allowed to extend working hours and deduct wages. Fortunately, there are enough skilled workers to help with the newly recruited laborers. There were no major casualties. Bumps and bumps are inevitable. Send it to the sick house and give it a good doctor's decoction, and it will get better in a few days.

Eating and working together, so that the relationship between the Huaisi men and the local subjects is becoming more and more harmonious. Marriage and marriage, within a few generations, they will become a family.

Liu Bei has never been so busy. I didn't know that there were three meals a day, and there were chimes and drums around me, dancing and dancing. He is enjoying the pleasures of a prince.

I don't know what to eat, that's it. I slept soundly. When you fall into bed, you fall asleep. A deep night's sleep without dreams. Rakuka and Maihime also began to practice swords. Even the female doctor was not spared. Name: Strengthen the body.

The woman who came out of the forbidden place knows etiquette quite well. There is a degree of entry and exit, which shows the momentum of the Hou Mansion.

The female doctors are all well-skilled. Liu Bei asked him to treat Gongsun's family. It turned out to be the same as the female assassin's information. It is said to wait and see. If God is one, life can be saved. If the division continues, there will be no recovery.

Liu Bei sighed.

As long as she's okay, everything is fine.

In the past few years, Liu Bei has punished thieves and quelled the chaos, and the food has been making money every day. Accumulated a lot. Nowadays, spending money is like flowing water, but it can also support it. The first to be completed is naturally the first to start the Liting ditch. Both sides of the re-reinforced Liting ditch are paved with pebbles, and the slopes and embankments are widely planted with alfalfa. The slopes on both sides of the embankment are planted with grass to extend their service life. Weeping willows are transplanted at intervals on the slope, which is also used to build soil and strengthen embankments.

Every other mile, there is a covered bridge flying frame. Buildings were built on the bridge, and the upper floors were guarded by sergeants. There are two bridges before and after entering and exiting the Liting ditch, and there are sluices under them. When the ship enters the port, it needs to open the gate and release it. All of them are giant horse waterways, boats can go to Lousang, and naturally they can also go to Licheng.

Delivery of goods and grains. Everything is like a clear stream.

Most of the water in the area between Liting Ditch and Dukang Ditch has been converted into paddy fields. Rush before the mango planting, and distribute it to the Huaisi people. Together with the people of Yizhong, tidy up the paddy fields and raise seedlings for cultivation.

When the water level drops, supervise the ditch, and then build an embankment through the ditch. Baili Governor Kang Daze will become a hundred miles of fertile land.

Liu Bei roughly calculated that he could get 3 million acres of fertile land. If there are five stones per mu, the annual rice harvest is 15 million stones. Seventy percent of the rice can be obtained 10 million stones of japonica rice.

During the Han Dynasty, the monthly ration of frontier soldiers was "three stones, three buckets, and three liters of millet." ”

According to "Hanshu Xiongnu Biography", a strong man who does heavy work eats an average of 18 stone of rice in 300 days. Six liters of rice a day. Less than twenty-two stone a year. According to this calculation, 30,000 acres of fertile land can support more than 480,000 strong laborers. If a family of old and young women and children is counted, it is enough to support one million people.

From the later generations, after the opening of the governor, the northern frontier was able to look around. You can see that.
