Although the middle-aged man had a terrifying face, he knew how to be polite, and he took the initiative to step forward and salute without being humble or arrogant: "The grass people have seen adults! ……”

Rush? This surname is relatively rare, Guo Zhiyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, thinking of a celebrity surnamed Kuai in the Ming Dynasty, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked: "I don't know who Kuai Xiang is?" ……”

The middle-aged man's lips twitched violently, and after a little hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Kuaixiang is the ancestor!" ”

Guo Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he heard it, this Kuaixiang may not be famous in the official history, but it is definitely a famous legend in the history of architecture! In the fifteenth year of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty (1417), when Ming Chengzu moved north from Jinling, he recruited craftsmen from all over the country and went to Beijing to continue the construction of the country. As a member of Ming Chengzu's entourage, Kuaixiang went north in advance to participate in the architectural design of the palace. Due to the superior level of design of Kuaixiang, he was appointed as the designer of the major projects of the Imperial Palace. His first task was to design and organize the construction of the Chengtianmen Gate (now Tiananmen Square), which was the main gate of the court. After it was completed, it was praised by hundreds of civil and military officials, and the Yongle Emperor Longyan Dayue called him "Kuailuban".

In addition to Chengtianmen, Kuaixiang also presided over the construction of the Beijing Imperial Palace, the three palaces in front of the Imperial Palace, Changling, Xianling, Yuling, Beijing Xiyuan (now Beihai, Zhonghai, Nanhai) Palace, Longfu Temple and other famous buildings, from a craftsman gradually promoted, until he was named the Ministry of Industry Zuo Shilang, awarded the second grade official, enjoy the first grade of the official Lu, can definitely be regarded as the legend of the Ming Dynasty craftsmen! Most of Kuaixiang's descendants inherited his skills, and the craftsman group Xiangshan Gang was famous all over the world for its originators, and until the late Qing Dynasty, there was still a saying that "Jiangnan carpenters and craftsmen are all out of Xiangshan".

Guo Zhiyuan already has a general plan in mind for the construction of Dongfan, but to turn the plan in his mind into reality, it is necessary to really understand the talent of architecture, Guo Zhiyuan is worried about this, I didn't expect Xu Guangqi to find Kuaixiang's descendants to help him preside over the construction of Dongfan, and hurriedly overjoyed: "It turned out to be after Kuailuban!" With the help of Mr. Kuai, these three big cities in my Dongfan will become famous cities for thousands of years, and their names will go down in history! ……”

Kuai Yue hesitated for a moment, hugged his fists and said: "The grass people don't dare to deceive the adults, the grass people are now guilty, the grass people can design drawings for the adults, but they can't show their heads, please forgive the adults!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Kuai Yue in some surprise, Xu Guangqi on the side hurriedly leaned into Guo Zhiyuan's ear and whispered to explain, it turned out that this Kuai Yue inherited the mantle of the Kuai family, and was originally the "carpenter chief" of the royal building in the capital, because he offended the head of the eunuch in the palace, and framed him for cutting corners and filling his pockets when presiding over the construction of the royal garden, fortunately he got the news in advance, and escaped from the capital before Jinyiwei came to arrest him, and fled all the way to Fujian, in order to avoid Jinyiwei's wanted, he had to disfigure himself, because he had no legal identity, He didn't dare to show his face, the silver taels he brought when he escaped from the capital were also spent, and his livelihood became a problem, it happened that Bai Du was ordered by Guo Zhiyuan to recruit immigrants in Fujian, Kuai Yue followed to Dongfan, Xu Guangqihui saw talent, and found his outstanding talent in architectural design, which promoted him, originally Kuai Yue didn't want to expose his identity, but Guo Zhiyuan mentioned Kuai Xiang, he didn't want to shame the name of the ancestors, so he confessed his identity.

If it was someone else, he would naturally not dare to use a fugitive like Kuai Yue, but for Guo Zhiyuan, he would not have such concerns at all, and said with a smile: "Mr. Kuai, although rest assured, no one in Dongfan will dare to arrest you!" When the city is successfully built, I can also ask the Holy Lord for credit for you, help you clear your name, and never let Kuluban be wronged in the future! ……”

Kuai Yue was also overjoyed when he heard it, Guo Zhiyuan's domineering calf protector made him feel that Guo Zhiyuan was indeed a person worthy of service, and he was grateful and said: "Thank you for your maintenance, and the grass people are willing to obey your lord's drive!" ……”

Xu Guangqi spread out the drawings, and the three of them discussed the city building plan on the drawings, Kuai Yue is worthy of being Kuai Luban, and has the experience of presiding over the large-scale architectural design of the palace, and the entire design and planning layout is comprehensive, including drainage, sewage, fire prevention and other details are taken into account, so that Guo Zhiyuan is amazed.

Of course, because he did not communicate with Guo Zhiyuan in advance, some of Guo Zhiyuan's ideas were not reflected in the design drawings, Guo Zhiyuan's ideas of course came from his later experience as a traverser, if he explained to Xu Guangqi and Kuai Yue like this, they probably couldn't understand it all of a sudden, so he simply rolled up the drawings, waved his hand and said: "It's better to survey on paper than on paper, let's go out and have a look together......

Guo Zhiyuan asked people to call Baidu and Chen Di again, he wanted to build the city in Beigang, Jilongwan and Dayuan at the same time, and if Baidu and Chen were called, they could be implemented in three places at the same time, which would save a lot of effort.

Dongfan (Taiwan) by the crustal changes, river action and differential erosion, some mountainous hills due to tectonic action to form a basin, the basin compared with the surrounding flat terrain, fertile soil, sufficient water source, very suitable for people to live, but to Guo Zhiyuan to build a city to reduce a lot of difficulty, and here is sparsely populated, but also to give Guo Zhiyuan full play space, now Dongfan is like a blank paper, you can let Guo Zhiyuan splash ink on it!

Looking at such a large area of boundless flat land, Guo Zhiyuan was also arrogant, pointing to the drawings in his hand and said to Kuai Yue on the side: "Mr. Kuai, I think the width of the road reserved on your drawings is still too narrow, I hope that all roads should be able to allow at least eight carriages to pass in parallel, and all roads should be hardened with triple soil and gravel......"

"Eight carriages pass at the same time?!" Kuai Yue was secretly surprised, most of the urban roads in this era were relatively narrow, and it would be good to allow two carriages to pass at the same time, but he didn't object, anyway, there is a lot of open space here, so naturally Guo Zhiyuan said that he would leave as wide as he wanted.

Guo Zhiyuan also did not explain that in modern cities, the road is not wide enough often becomes a bottleneck restricting urban development, so many urban roads are often dug and repaired, repaired and dug, wasting a lot of manpower and material resources.

Next, Guo Zhiyuan wanted to put forward some modern city design ideas, so that Kuai Yue was greatly inspired, especially Guo Zhiyuan's proposal to build a reservoir on the mountain, and then bury a pipeline, divert the water down, and use the pipeline to reach every household, which made Kuai Yue even claim that it was wonderful, and was pleasantly surprised: "In this way, you can save every household the trouble of digging wells for water!" What a whimsical idea, the grass people have been taught! ……”
