Chapter 185: Bow Left and Right
Li Shimin wants to set up a new department, and the family gate valves nodded and agreed one by one, why? After the establishment of the new department, he can stuff people into it, and there are not many other people with five surnames and seven hopes, and there are especially many literati.
There were originally so many official positions in Datang, one radish and one pit, and now there are so many more positions, it's too late for this family to be happy, what can resist?
Li Shimin is really a little helpless, and he doesn't want to use the family in his heart, but you have to use them.
"Two, what is this?" Cheng Chubi stood up, looked at Yuwen Aman and Yan Lide, and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Seeing the two arguing with red faces, Cheng Chubi suddenly felt that these two guys were very difficult to handle.
"Cheng Horse, you come to look at it, this is my original plan." Yuwen Aman put a piece of paper on the table, and the drawings on the paper were the drawings of the Suzaku Street of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhuque Street is located in the central axis of Chang'an City, which divides Chang'an City into two parts, Zhuque Street is 150 meters wide, 80 meters wide in the middle of the street, 120 meters wide in Chunmingmen Street, and 122 meters wide in other streets corresponding to the city gate.
Spectacular, magnificent, when Cheng Chubi stepped into Chang'an City for the first time, Zhuque Street gave him a long historical atmosphere, which was extremely shocking.
"You mean, start with Suzaku Street?" Cheng Chubi couldn't help but ask: "Yuwen Shangshu wants to repair the road first and then the underground sewage pipe, Yan Shangshu wants to repair the sewage pipe first and then repair the road?" ”
"Yes!"
The two nodded in unison.
"Then why not build a road while building a sewer?" Cheng Chubi asked with some confusion.
"Is this possible?"
The two of them didn't believe it, but they could still operate like this?
"Why not? You see, the road is so wide that we can build half of it first, and then the other half, and if we all cover it with cement all at once, then we won't be able to walk on it for days. Cheng Chubi said: "To build the road surface, half of it should be repaired, half of it should be repaired, and the other half should be repaired. ”
"It's possible, but it's understaffed." Yan Lide sighed and said.
"How many people did Your Majesty give?" Cheng Chubi asked.
"Three thousand!" Yan Lide said.
"There are indeed fewer Chang'an with 3,000 people to build a huge country." Cheng Chubi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, there are only 3,000 people, fix your hair! In this era when road construction is basically labor, cement alone can exhaust you to death, let alone pull cement out of the factory.
It's really hard to do this era without machines.
Cheng Chubi thought for a while and asked, "I don't know if there are criminals in Chang'an's prison?" ”
"What does this mean?"
The two looked at Cheng Chubi, revealing puzzlement.
"Work to pay for sin! If he commits a crime for a month, let him build a road for a month, let him build a road for a year if he commits a crime for a year, and let him build a road until he dies if he commits a capital crime! Cheng Chubi showed a trace of ruthlessness on his face, and said: "Even if it is a day, you have to work for a day!" ”
The prisoners of this era are all locked in prisons, what a waste of labor?
The two of them listened to Cheng Chubi's words, and their eyes couldn't help showing a trace of surprise, they really didn't expect this person's heart to be so ruthless, is this really a monk?
"This idea is feasible, and all dynasties have done the same, so I don't think it will be much hindered." After a while, Yan Lide nodded and said.
"But doing so is against heaven and earth." Yuwen Aman couldn't help but say, although he is called Aman, he is also a reader.
"No, no, no, Yuwen Shangshu, you should think so, since those prisoners have committed crimes, they should get the punishment they deserve, especially those who have been sentenced to death, if they can build roads to death, it is also a kind of happiness, it is better to live than to die, maybe in order to live, the condemned prisoners will work harder to build roads, as the so-called God has the virtue of a good life." Cheng Chubi smiled faintly and said, "As for the other prisoners, after this arduous road building experience, it is estimated that they will not dare to commit crimes." ”
"After all, road construction requires mountains and gravel, which requires labor, if the criminals of Datang are concentrated, even if they don't open stones and break stones, just planting fields, raising sheep, raising chickens and ducks, can create a lot of wealth for Datang." Cheng Chubi couldn't help but sigh.
"This is very reasonable, since this is the case, I will make a compromise to Your Majesty, and let all the criminals of the Tang Dynasty go to build roads, farm land, and raise sheep." Yan Lide smiled slightly and said, "This wicked person, let me do it." ”
Cheng Chubi listened to his words, and really wanted to beat this guy hard, since there was a precedent, as soon as this piece of music was released, it was immediately approved, this is a good opportunity to brush up in front of Lao Li.
"The construction of Suzaku Street requires all the bricks on the road, and then paving the crushed stones, and then paving the cement, so that the ground can be stronger and longer." Cheng Chubi smiled slightly and said: "On this Vermilion Bird Street, the center of Vermilion Bird Street, a certain primordial meridian is to be made of white marble!" It stretches from the center of Suzaku Street to the inside of the Imperial Palace, and then in the Imperial Palace, a thumb-thick line is made of pure copper and placed in the center of the palace. ”
"Why do you do that?"
"What is the prime meridian?"
The two asked puzzled.
"The prime meridian is the center line of the earth, the center line of the world, and the center line of the universe, we have to set a rule for the world, Chang'an is the center of the world, and the prime meridian is the line that divides the world into left and right sides!" Cheng Chubi said proudly.
"That's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! However, since it is the center of the world, how can it be made of copper? It is necessary to make a line of gold, and the position must be under the throne of His Majesty, and this line must be set, and the world will be divided into south, east, west, and northwest, and the emperor will sit in the center of the world! Yuwen Aman's face showed joy, and said: "So-and-so will write the chapter now, and so-and-so will write the chapter now." ”
As he spoke, the two walked to the side, picked up the pen and ink, and began to write, Cheng Chubi was stunned when he watched from the side.
Is that okay? Can you be more reserved?
Finally, when the two guys finished writing the cantata, the celebrity was sent to the palace.
Cheng Chubi and the three of them walked out of the yamen, came to Suzaku Street, and began the construction of Suzaku Street. Looking at the stinky water on Suzaku Street, Cheng Chubi couldn't help frowning slightly.
This has to be taken care of, or you really don't know what's going to happen.
After Li Shimin received the recital from the two, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately approved.
