"What the master said is very true. If you don't look at the mountains, you should look at the water first, and there are mountains but no water to find the land. Qin Huangshi said that the earth has four potentials, and the qi comes from all directions. If you ride the wind, you will disperse, and the boundary water will stop. Only water can gather vitality and bring well-being. It can be seen that feng shui needs to use the water method to judge the geographical good and evil. The so-called mountain lord is expensive, and the water lord is rich. Where the water is shallow, the people are poor; Where the water gathers, the people are thick; Where the water is scattered, the people are far away; In the depths of the water, the people are rich. It is the one who is so vigorous and the water is thin, and it is only the political center; If the water is abundant and the mountain is thin, it is an economic hub. If there are mountains but no water, they will be fierce and needy; There is water and no mountain, it must be a family of arrogance and luxury, and it must be adjusted in two phases to be appropriate. Therefore, the environment is extremely poor, and it can be said that the people are poor and bad. The beautiful and rich land is mostly described by the beautiful mountains and rivers, the outstanding people of the earth, and the treasures of the world, which can be seen. Yan Shanxue said eloquently.

"It is conclusive, and it is indeed reasonable!" Liu Chan was curious: "Then how to transform the new city with water?" ”

Yanshan Xue glanced at Liu Chan and said: "At the end of the day, there is a clear distinction between Jing and Wei, the Feng pickaxe is waterlogged, the remnants of the snake, the eight rivers are diverted, and they are surrounded and moistened. In order to enhance the feng shui of the new city and create a prosperous city forever, artificial canals can be built to introduce eight rivers into the new city, turning the city into a land and sea connected by rivers and lakes. This is a good way to transform Feng Shui. ”

"Sister, the method of feng shui is really exquisite!" Liu Chan praised from the bottom of his heart.

He thought for a while, smiled and asked, "What about the planning of the new city?" ”

"Whether it is Taoism, Yin and Yang, Confucianism, Moism, and Kanyujia, they all believe in the unity of heaven and man. The emperor is the son of heaven ordained by the emperor, and the capital city where he lives must be extraordinary, and the cities on earth are often portrayals of the heavens, and new metropolises can be built according to the arrangement of the sun, moon and stars. First of all, determine the orientation of the entire capital, which must be a meridian facing north and south. Because the emperor is the head of a dynasty, like the top, so the emperor sits in the north, and the north is the top, and the ministers who sit in the south are lowly and the south is down. Therefore, since ancient times, the seat of the emperor is in the north and faces south. Second, determine the layout of the neighborhood. The construction of the north-south road leading to the city, and taking this as the central axis, divides the urban area into two parts, east and west, and each side has a neat and orderly layout of 54 squares and a city, showing symmetrical beauty. Corresponding to one hundred and eight stars in the sky, dozens of streets intersecting east-west and north-south are built, and the whole city is divided into one hundred and eight squares with righteous arrangement, correct direction, and wide and wide. Yanshan Xuexing's eyes are shining, beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, calm and relaxed, and it speaks eloquently, showing a mature charm that is not similar to his age.

Liu Chan's dark eyes flashed with brilliance, his heart was fascinated, and he sighed: "One hundred and eight squares are dotted with stars, just like the stars in the sky, and they are distributed like chess pieces, like a chessboard with clear rules, it is really a book of Go!" It is conceivable that if this city is built, the neighborhood lights up at night, the lights are red and green, the singing and dancing are leveling, the traffic is busy, the tourists are weaving, the bustling is extraordinary, the prosperity is extreme, and the night scene is so dazzling! ”

Third, the new city can open thirteen gates, of which three gates are on the east, west and south sides, and four gates are opened on the north wall. There are thirteen months in a leap year in the lunar calendar, and the thirteen gates symbolize a leap year; The north end is where the palace is located, which is the place where the Son of Heaven lives and works, and this extra intercalary gate is placed on the north wall, symbolizing the royal leap gas. According to the left green dragon, the right white tiger, the former Vermilion Bird, the rear Xuanwu said, the gate of the four sides can be named the Green Dragon Gate, the White Tiger Gate, the Vermilion Bird Gate, and the Xuanwu Gate. Day, therefore, easy to have Taiji, is to give birth to two rituals, two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip. According to this, the Taiji Hall and the Liangyi Hall can be built. Yan Shanxue continued.

"Xue'er's Kanyu and the craftsman's method have won the true inheritance of the master Mo family, and they are improving day by day, and my Mo family elites are coming out in large numbers!" Xu Shu looked at Yan Shanxue, who was vaguely carrying the shadow of his beloved wife's young age, his eyes were full of love, and his heart was as sweet as drinking honey, and he praised it.

"There are many ways to divide yin and yang in the human body, one of which is yin is static, which represents the skin of the human body, and yang is moving, representing the flowing blood. The walls are superficial, comparable to human skin; The street is internal, quite human blood, so in the design and construction, not only the city wall, the palace wall is square, the door is open all around, and the square that is separated by the street is also surrounded by rammed earth to build a wall, which is open on all sides and faces the street on all sides. Yan Shanxue continued.

"My sister is mighty, she speaks so well!" Liu Chan gave Yan Shanxue a thumbs up and praised it with great sincerity.

"I don't know what to do!" Hearing Liu Chan's brainless new strange words, Yan Shan Xue's pretty face flew and said angrily.

"In the future, there will be Master Lao and Senior Sister in Chang'an New Area." Liu Chan's eyes were solemn and serious, and his eyes seemed to see the golden splendor and supreme glory of the prosperous Chang'an.

After a whole day of playing, it was almost dusk, and I saw the sky full of colorful clouds, and tired birds returning to their nests.

Xu Shu and his entourage came to the north gate of Chang'an, dismounted and rested for a while.

The mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood.

Under the illumination of the sunset that reflects each other, the gray city wall looks magnificent, revealing a strong sense of historical vicissitudes.

On the ruined and mottled battlements, clumps of wild trees and weeds grew everywhere, towering and half a man high; The city gate was littered with garbage, the dark green moat was foaming, and the stench of swelling animal carcasses floated; At the foot of the city wall, dozens of unkempt, ragged, and filthy beggars, standing, lying, or lying, one by one unscrupulously opening their robes, basking in the sun, catching fleas, and from time to time excitedly cracking their big mouths, showing their black teeth, and playing and laughing with each other; The people who came in and out were expressionless, with wooden expressions and vegetable-colored faces, bowing their heads and silently walking on the potholed official road; The city gate officials with listless and yawning guards from time to time pretended to be threatening to the people, making it difficult to scold and ask for money.

At this time, a Jingzhao Yin Mansion pretended to take a few entourages to disperse the people, and posted a notice of Zhong Xuan's part-time Jingzhao Yin Mansion's Anmin, and as soon as he left, the people flocked to him, watching and talking about it.

Liu Chan, Xu Shu, and Zhao Yun looked at the notice, listened to the discussion, and thought thoughtfully.

Although Chang'an was the imperial capital of the past, it was prosperous for a while. However, since Dong Zhuo's tyranny, it has been damaged by war for a long time, and it has been in tatters, coupled with the increasingly tense situation in Xiliang, Han Sui, Ma Chao, Xiliang Army and Cao Jun are tense, and the war is about to break out. Due to the dry weather, many counties and counties have a famine, so the beacon smoke is swarming, thieves block the road to rob, burn, kill, loot and plunder from time to time, all things are erosive, Zhong Xuan has just arrived, although there are Zhang and other capable officials to help, but not only to rectify the rule of officials, regroup, clean up the army, raise military rations, take precautions to resist the aggressive momentum of Xiliang's invasion, but also to release grain to relieve disasters to appease the hungry, suppress thieves, clean up the mess, every day is busy with anxiety.
