In mid-April of the second year of Jianxing, Guan Ping and his wife arrived in Guanzhong with Zhuge Qiao.

Also at the beginning of the year, the wooden track from Lantian County to Changlepo was repaired, and it was a two-row track.

It is not difficult to lay wooden rails, and there are skilled workers and standard processing wooden rails, which can naturally be laid in an orderly manner; It is rare to have early orbit exploration and planning, as well as mid-term foundation tamping and hardening.

After the wooden track is laid, there must be daily maintenance.

So in the wooden rail carriage to Changlepo, Guan Ping looked around, and one by one temporary settlements unfolded along the tracks, many of them were young and strong men from Han families who took turns to be on duty and serving.

Now it is the slack season, and the pastures have been planned for a long time, and without the intrusion of bandits and tyrants, the family and the women, the old and the young can complete the maintenance of agriculture and animal husbandry.

Therefore, a large number of Ding Zhuang people have invested in all aspects of construction work, and there are no less than 30,000 people working around the rail transportation line between Lantian and Changlepo alone.

This is to prepare for the construction of the new Chang'an City, which has no name so far, but has a detailed construction plan.

Tian Xin endured it for almost two years, and now he has divided the manpower to make preliminary preparations for the new city.

It can be seen that various warehouses have been built in various settlements to store the stones mined in Nanshan and Lishan, and a large area of wild trees south of Changlepo has been cut down, and fruit trees and pine trees have been planted along the canals and wooden tracks.

Guan Ping and Zhuge Qiao saw it in their eyes, and they were also thinking about the scale of the new city.

The plan to build a new city is not a secret, and the absence of walls is the most characteristic feature...... Naturally, there will be no good reaction from the DPRK and China.

Unlike Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zhan, who like to build strong cities, Tian Xin has never had the tendency to build strong cities.

Most of the cities have no cities, and if this new city is repaired, it is bound to be based on commerce, life and residence, and will inevitably replace Chang'an's position in Guanzhong.

A city without walls, in order to protect this city, the strongholds on the periphery of Guanlong...... Tian Xin could never back down easily.

This city is heavily pressed in the hearts of Guan Ping and Zhuge Qiao, and they can hardly think of a way to suppress and obstruct.

Unless Tian Xin died violently, or civil war broke out.

Unlike them, the Amu probe in the carriage looked out the window at the backward panning and sweeping scenery, and only felt that everything was so new.

His mother, Zhao, had a calm expression, carefully observing the busy officials and young men along the line, and saw that there were pergolas everywhere on the construction site, and the clear soup and gruel for dinner were boiling in the shed. There are also dried salted fish transported from Lingnan, which are hung under the pergola.

Salted fish fillet, multigrain gruel, and wild vegetable dumplings are dinners in the camps everywhere.

Lingnan is always transporting dried seafood, salted fish and the like to Guanzhong, and Nanyang is about to be delivered, and it is also working day and night to deliver tools to Guanzhong.

Zhao was born in troubled times, and since marrying Guan Ping, he has also learned about war.

The salted fish in Lingnan is an important ration in Guanzhong, and how can this kind of sparing no effort to transport and develop seafood not shock the Zhao family?

This is a very scary thing to think about, and many people dare not think about it deeply.

Legend has it that the Lingnan people can go to sea for hundreds of miles in the winter and spring when there is no strong wind, shoot and injure the whale with a bed crossbow, and then chase the whale for several days and nights, and then drag the whale back to the shore to make dried salted meat.

The whalebone, which is taller than a person, is currently the most popular and sought-after item in Jiangdu...... What did the government and opposition dignitaries and powerful people do when they bought whalebones?

Of course, it is ground into powder, boiled and swallowed...... Now the most expensive thing for a whale is all kinds of bones.

The fact that the skeleton of a whale can support such a large body indicates that it is an extraordinary product; The bone broth made from whale bones is also a nourishing soup that generals and emperors must drink every day. Thanks to the popularity of whalebone, Qingxu and Jiangdong regions have also begun to prepare for the construction of sea vessels under the guidance of the government, whaling and fishing for marine fish, and exploring overseas.

The salted fish and whalebone in Lingnan have sparked a trend of external exploration; For Zhao, this has nothing to do with her, and since her father died in Hankow, the family's influence in the navy has rapidly faded.

Shipbuilding, exploring overseas, whaling, searching for demons, and immortal mountains have nothing to do with her Zhao family.

Now that I'm coming to Guanzhong, I just follow Guan Ji to study those novelties...... Other things were too distant and unfamiliar to her to be mixed with.

When they came to Changlepo, it was already evening, and the overall planning of the vast flat land south of Changlepo had been completed, and the first model neighborhood that needed to be constructed had completed a more detailed plan.

In this area, all points are marked by piling; Each pile is marked horizontally, and the ground is leveled during the construction process.

There is no need to transport any earthwork outward, and the higher side of the ground excavates a cellar for burning bricks, which can consume a lot of loess and complete the rough leveling of the ground.

Now Tian Xin is inspecting the construction of sewage canals, which are buried five feet underground, and are cemented and jointed with stone strips and lime mixed with three layers of soil.

Now it is the initial excavation of the sewage canal, the tamping of the foundation, and the ramming of the earth is also mixed with lime, so that the soil is very porcelain. Then lay stone strips to build a sewage channel, which should be able to avoid the rapid penetration of sewage and the formation of cavities.

After all, it is sewage, and with the current water consumption, the water pressure will not be too high, and the possibility of forming underground cavities is not very high.

Besides, when laying stone strips, the bottom layer will be staggered with two layers of stone strips; The three-layer soil adhesive joint, coupled with the sediment carried by the sewage, can block the joint.

Tian Xin attaches great importance to these infrastructure work, and the construction site is in full swing.

So much so that after Guan Ping arrived, he looked at the general queue of laborers who returned to the barracks after finishing work everywhere, and couldn't help but think of the years of conquest at that time.

The more I recalled, the more depressed I became.

Soon they were greeted by Tian Xin himself, who was wearing a short shirt with short shoulders and knee-high boxer trousers...... It's trousers that are rolled up to the knees, and a pair of lightweight, cool cloth shoes are worn on the feet.

Seeing the cloth shoes on Tian Xin's feet, Guan Ping felt that the leather boots on his feet were a little heavy and stuffy, and even the palms of his feet, which he had never felt, were a little itchy.

Boot tickling...... This is the reason why Tian Xin doesn't wear boots on weekdays, and it is also one of the arguments of the joke Guan Ping back then.

"Brother, don't come unharmed?"

"All right, why is filial piety here?"

Guan Ping pointed to the criss-crossing sewage canals, where there are plans to build drainage culverts, which can be drained in the event of floods and heavy rains.

Therefore, the city near the river has a water gate to assist in the drainage of floodwater; Ordinary cities also have culverts that lead to low-lying areas outside the city.

This type of drainage canal is for the purpose of flood discharge, and naturally it is the main artery that can achieve the desired effect; But Tian Xin is digging criss-crossing sewage canals here...... This is too labor-intensive and time-consuming.

For the sake of drainage, it is inevitable to make a big fuss.

Seeing Guan Ping asking questions on the spot, Tian Xin also led Guan Ping to stand on a mound of dirt and pointed to various ravines to explain...... This is convenient for every household to dispose of their sewage, and even primitive toilets can be used to flush the filth directly outside the city and hoard it for fermentation.

When the fermentation is good, the Kunming canal water is introduced to wash and wash into the farmland!
