Chapter 597: The City of Great Xing is in Chang'an

Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty was located on the south bank of Weishui and the open plain west of Bashui.

Because the Qinling Mountains bend to the northeast in the south of Chang'an City, it also causes ...... The terrain around Chang'an City is high in the southeast and low in the northwest.

The rivers such as Bashui, Shui, and Shui, which originate in the Qinling Mountains, are all influenced by this topographical characteristic, and after running through the southeast area outside Chang'an, they flow into Weishui in the northwest direction.

Therefore, in terms of the topography around Chang'an City, only the plain between Ba and Shui is the most open and the most suitable for the construction of a new city.

After Li Mu razed the old city of Chang'an City to the ground, after some investigation, he built a new Chang'an City in Longshouyuan, twenty miles southeast of the old city.

Longshou was originally an open plain, with Bashui and water to the east, water to the west, and the Qinling Mountains to the south.

In this way, the new Chang'an City, not only including the original old Chang'an City, has also doubled in size to the southeast.

In other words, the new Chang'an City is twice the size of the old Chang'an City, and its site has moved seven or eight miles to the southeast.

In this way, the new Chang'an City is far away from Weishui and can avoid Weishui flooding. At the same time, the new Chang'an City can introduce water from the east and the water from the west to the city, solving the problem of urban water use.

It is the so-called ...... "the law is like heaven and earth, the emperor is respected, and hundreds of officials are served". In order to show his desire to dominate the world and maintain long-term stability, Li Mu embraced the idea of the unity of heaven and man in the planning process of the new Chang'an City.

Chang'an City is slightly longer from east to west and slightly narrower from north to south, and consists of three parts: the palace city, the imperial city (middle city) and the outer city.

Miyagi is located in the northern center of the city, the imperial city is in the south of the palace, and the outer city is centered on the palace and the imperial city, and spreads out to the east, west, and south.

Miyagi was home to the emperor and the imperial family. To the south of Miyagi is the Imperial Castle, which is slightly larger than Miyagi and is the seat of the Imperial Court government offices. Beyond the palace and the imperial city are the outer cities, which are residential and commercial areas.

Since the palace city of Chang'an City has not yet been built, besides, even if the palace city of Chang'an City has been completed, Li Mu will not move into the palace city to live.

Therefore, once the Liangzhou army moved their residences from Chiyangwu Fort to Chang'an City, Li Mu would also live in the neighborhood close to the imperial city together with Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others.

The so-called ...... is "the foundation of Dingding is eternal, and the infinite industry is in Si"! According to the relationship between the six slopes of the dragon head of Chang'an City and Qiankun Feng Shui, the layout of the palace city, the imperial city, and the outer city has a certain saying.

The palace city, the imperial city, and the outer city are arranged in parallel, and the palace city symbolizes the North Star, which is thought to be in the sky. With the Imperial City Hundred Officials Office, it symbolizes the purple wall that surrounds Beichen. The outer city symbolizes the stars that arch to the north.

In the outer city of Chang'an City, there are a total of 12 city gates, each gate has three doorways.

East, from north to south, is Xuanping Gate, Qingming Gate, Bacheng Gate. South, from east to west, is the Ann Gate, the Anmen, and the Xi'an Gate. The north side, from west to east, is the Heng Gate, the Kitchen City Gate, and the Luo City Gate. West, from north to south, is Yongmen, Zhicheng Gate, Zhangcheng Gate in turn.

The name of the 12 gates of the new Chang'an City, Li Mu copied the name of the old Chang'an City and did not make any changes.

The buildings in Chang'an City are laid out in a strict left-right alignment.

The entire Chang'an City ...... Suzaku Street, which runs in the north-south direction, serves as the central axis. On the east and west sides of the central axis, there are neatly arranged square markets with the same number and area.

The outer city of Chang'an City has also been partitioned, and each grid is a square.

The imperial city of Chang'an City has also been partitioned. The 12 main streets in the imperial city are intertwined.

The streets and squares are neatly side by side. The east-west and north-south streets intersect in a lattice-like pattern.

It is worth mentioning that although the number of fangli located on the east and west sides of the palace and the imperial city is small, its single area is ...... It is larger than a single area in the south of the Imperial City.

The east and west districts of the outer city of Chang'an City each have a commercial district, called the East Market and the West Market. There are 11 main streets in the north and south, and 14 main streets in the east and west, which divide the residential area into 110 squares neatly, and its shape is similar to a Go board.

East and West Markets,

It will not only be the center of economic activities in Chang'an City, but also the center of industrial and commercial trade under the rule of the Liangzhou Army. In a few days, it will be a place full of merchants, shops, and goods, and trade will flourish.

If you can look down from a high altitude, the layout of Chang'an City is extremely regular!

……

But he said, seeing that the rain slowly turned from the initial drizzle to the moderate rain, Li Mu passed down a military order, so that the people who had no time to go home went to Chang'an City to take shelter from the rain.

As soon as Li Mu's military order was issued, there were already special officials, with soldiers, to organize the evacuation of the people.

Li Mu, together with Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Pang Tong and others, rushed to Chiyangwu Fort on the north bank of Weishui.

When everyone came to the south gate of Chiyangwu Fort, heavy rain poured down. Li Mu's idea of holding a dinner party at Chiyangwu Fort was also shelved. Everyone had to go home first.

When Li Mu came to the gate of the Cheqi General's Mansion, he was already soaked and drenched in soup.

"Master Hou...... You're finally back! ”

Li Mu touched the rain on his face, and when he was about to enter the door, Niu Er took a few soldiers and went out in a panic.

Li Mu was stunned and asked loudly: "Brother Niu, why are you so panicked?" ”

"Master Hou!"

Niu Er hurriedly replied: "The eldest lady is afraid that she is about to give birth, and the second lady sent me to pick up the stable wife!" ”

"Brother Niu, go and come back quickly!"

Hearing that the cicada was about to give birth, Li Mu hurriedly gave a word of advice, and then rushed to the backyard.

When Li Mu ran to the backyard, seven or eight maidservants were busy preparing necessities such as hot water and cotton cloth.

The moment Li Mu pushed open the door of Diao Chan's house, he asked anxiously: "Cicada...... Have you had any? ”

"Ah Mu, don't worry!"

Diao Chan's heart was sweet and surprised, and he immediately comforted softly: "Except for a little pain, the cicada is fine!" ”

"Ah Mu, Sister Chan's reaction is really normal!"

As a mother of two children, Zhen Miqiao's face was full of assured relief.

It was only at this time that Li Mu found out that Zhen Mi, Cai Yan, Bian Yu, Qiao Wan, Qiao Shuang, and Tang Ying were all in the house, and they all accompanied Diao Chan to talk.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately stepped to the bed. Li Muzheng wanted to hold Diao Chan's jade hand, but he suddenly remembered that he was covered in rain and cold, and he couldn't let the cicada suffer from the cold.

Li Mu looked at Diao Chan with a look of pity, a little at a loss.
