10. Ziziying New Town

According to the planning of Ming Xuan, the wall to the west of the Beizi City after the repair and consolidation is directly integrated with the Nanzi City, but the length and width of the Nanzi City is more than three times that of the Beizi City, the east and west are four hundred steps wide (about 600 meters in modern times), and the north and south are two hundred and twenty steps long (about 330 meters in modern times).

In addition, a large school field is set up on the south side of Nanzi City, the length and width are about 200 steps each, and the north end of the school field builds a "teaching and testing pavilion", and the standing drum and the buttress mark in front of the pavilion are used for Gao Yue to test the shooting skills of the soldiers.

On the south side of the school field where the teaching test pavilion is located, Ming Xuan suggested digging out the water channels at both ends from Jingchuan, one is located in the east of the sub-city, the other is located in the west of the sub-city, north-south direction, and then connects horizontally in the south of the school field, and surrounds the two sub-cities to form a "hollow-shaped" water channel, named "Furong Canal", together with the city wall, to form a double barrier, which not only provides protection for the sub-city, but also provides water sources and sewage channels for the entire city.

At the same time, in addition to the city wall in the south of the school field, there are also three city gates, among which the main gate and build a bridge across the Furong Canal, just outside the Changqu of the outer Guocheng.

According to what Gao Yue said to Wei Gao before, it was for the "unity of the military and the city", and he asked for the east and west markets and mansions to be set up on both sides of Changqu, and the barracks and recreation centers were sandwiched from the left and right, so that the markets and mansions were completely placed under the protection of the barracks, so that the merchants and the people could feel at ease.

At the same time, the soldiers who came to chase the soldiers during the agricultural slack could also easily walk directly from the east and west camps to the wooden bridges around Nanzicheng from the east and west camps, and enter the school field from the side gate to accept the archery assessment.

"The city's map of the mage is really exquisite!" Gao Yue was full of praise after reading Ming Xuan's plan.

Soon said and done, the first thing that the three or four thousand battalions of field soldiers had to do was to build a new city for 100 miles.

"High servants, the walls of the military city should be dense but not thick." Then Ming Xuan suggested, he said to Gao Yue that when Helian Bobo built the Tongwan City, he adopted the clamp version of the rammed earth method, although it was no different from the Central Plains cities, but Helian Bobo severely punished the law, requiring the number of layers of rammed earth to be more, and built with gray-white "Sanhe soil", so a hundred years later, Li Daoyuan saw the Tongwan City, especially called it "although the pheasant is long, Chong Yong Ruo New". In addition, it is said that the Fenglin City of Yanzhou is also built by Helian Bobo, so it is also called "Helian City", to the Northern Song Dynasty Shen Kuo to investigate, is full of praise, said that its city wall "is as tight as stone, cut all the fire", and also said that its city defense is "not very thick, but the horse face (the ancient Chinese city wall every section of the protruding high platform, used to set up a long-range shooting tower, and constitute a cross defense firepower) is extremely long and dense", sighing "the city of Helian, deep can be a law (emulate) also!" At that time, my Great Song Dynasty was the pinnacle of ancient Chinese science and technology culture, and the chicken land occupied eighty percent of the world.

Around the old city of Jingchuan Baili, soon a thick fog rolled out and filled the sky: the soldiers who built the city set up camp tents, cut the grass for fuel, excavated the clay and sand of the river, and burned a large amount of lime, quicklime and then mixed with water, and applied a large amount of hot smoke, like clouds burning mist steaming, this is the so-called "steamed soil". Gao Yue, together with many soldiers, did it himself, many people in the sun, took off their leggings to cover their heads, simply wore a calf nose, and even bare their lower bodies to make triad soil - after the quicklime turned into hydrated lime when it encountered water, it expanded rapidly, extremely squeezed sand and clay, and turned it into a version of hard triad soil, which was built layer by layer in the city wall, which was multi-layer rammed earth, in order to pursue the tightness of the city wall......

With the sound of Lang Wei's trumpet, the "Furong Canal" was excavated first, and then the old city was reinforced by the flip cover, which was reborn as the "Beizi City", and then the section of the city wall was built, and the scale and size of the "Nanzi City" were circled.

During this time, Gao Yue faded away and was bareheaded, and with the help of Wei Daotian, he always ate, slept and worked with the children of Yingtian, and the households in Yuanzhou were also drawn to assist in cooking: the camp envoy and the county commander took the lead, and the soldiers were inspired by the spirit, plus the county officials and tun officials were elected in advance, and the logistics supply of the military state was also in place (especially the Fengxiang Mansion where Zhu Zhu was located), so the division of labor in each tun was clear, and the construction was carried out in sections, and the progress was very smooth. It's that Gao Shiyu has been tanned again, and if he is seen by Yun Shao, I'm afraid he will feel distressed again.

As for Zhi Hui, she was left in Jingzhou City with Shuangwen, did not come to the city construction site, and held the three brothers and Xue Lianshi's hand, waiting for the arrival of the caravan in the capital.

More than 20 days later, Gao Yue crossed his waist and watched the construction of the main gate of Nanzi City with his own eyes: in advance there were two city walls in the east and west, leaving the pass, and then the soldiers laid the stone foundation on both sides of the pass, and then erected the pillar on it, and then erected the beam on it, and then built the building on the board, and soon a city gate tower was formed.

At the same time, the caravan arranged by Duzhi also appeared under Jingzhou City!

They sent all kinds of urgently needed materials for the camp to the camp safely, and they could build the Datong Qu and the mansion market in Baili City, and open up the tuntian.

In Guo's neighborhood outside Jingzhou City, Zhi Hui with a cunning look in her eyes, she traded privately with the Chang'an merchants who came here, giving them a few pieces to exchange, which were the family wealth of the third brother and the refiner, and the merchants paid silk cloth or gold and silver, and when they returned to Chang'an City, they could use these exchanges to exchange for money in the cabinet shop.

What is Zhihui going to do with this money?

Of course, it is in Yuanzhou to buy land and mansions......

Because the land price here is much cheaper than in Chang'an! The mansions are all erected on the ground, Tian? Where there is any field, it is still a wasteland.

Zhi Hui hired two calf carts, and under the protection of several military officials, she sent all the money she had exchanged for to the Confucius Courtyard of the military government.

The room here is still given to Gao Yue, after all, he is still an official under Jingyuan, and he should have a mansion in Jingzhou City.

"Sister Zhihui, are Yi Song and Fang Zhai back?" After Zhihui settled down, Shuangwen came to visit from the next room and asked her.

Zhi Hui shook her head, and said with some complaints, Aunt Shuangwen, you used to be in the five-frame room of the Shengdao Fang, and I don't know my third brother, he is desperate when he encounters problems, "In my opinion, he won't come back until all the Tuntian boundary monuments are erected and all the documents are made—no, he won't come back even if he is ready, he will definitely take us to Baili New Town." ”

"Then sister, you have to buy everything in Jingzhou City in advance, and there is nothing in the new city." Shuangwen reminded him.
