Chapter 320: (Building a New City)

On the fifth day of December in the second year of Fengtian, Wanling City

Gongsun Hao was directly sent to Changsha, and Shangguan Yin Feng sent someone to send it to Gongsun Ning, of course, at the same time, recalled Gao Di, who was attacking Changsha.

After Nangong Ao stayed in Wanling for three days, he returned to Jiangdong with the army, and Shangguan Yin Feng began to deal with the accumulated government affairs in Wanling.

The first thing was to build the city of Nanjing.

Nanjing City, in 333 B.C., Xiong Shang, the king of Chuwei, built Jinling Yi in the stone city, from which Jinling came; In 229 A.D., Emperor Wu Sun Quan built the capital in Moling, renamed Jianye, Moling thus became the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and then had the name of "Jiankang" and "Stone City", until Zhu Yuanzhang called the emperor, built the capital Jiqing, and changed the name of "Nanjing".

Shangguan Yin Feng wants to get the title of Nanjing thousands of years in advance, but also to build a real Jincheng soup pool, the current Nanjing is above Moling, and now Moling County is still a small county seat, because it is close to the Yangtze River and the Qinhuai River, so the population is also large.

"Listen well, this king should take Moling as the center, and build a new city thirty miles downstream of Moling, the city wall should be five zhang high, two zhang wide, and the total length of the four city walls must reach eighty li, and the whole city should be enough to accommodate one million people." Shangguan Yin Feng said with an oath.

According to the research and comparison of historians, the largest city in ancient China is Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, with a total area of 84 square kilometers, which is the largest city in the ancient world, which can accommodate a million people, and Shangguan Yin Feng's Nanjing City is to move the area of Chang'an to Moling, with Moling County as the center point, and build radioactively thirty miles downstream, which is enough to get the entire Nanjing City in, as for the situation of its construction, Shangguan Yin Feng directly got the Beijing City in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

First of all, the sketch, the whole city of Nanjing outside the city, the inner city, the imperial city, the palace city four layers of the city wall to build apart, the imperial city, naturally is the Forbidden City, the palace, the palace is readily available, in modern times, Shangguan Yin Feng did not go to the Forbidden City to play, for his architecture is naturally familiar with the heart.

As for the rest of the planning, it is naturally left to those craftsmen.

"To build a new city this time, the king decided to send 200,000 soldiers and 100,000 servants, a total of 300,000 people as the main force to build, and at the same time recruit 100,000 craftsmen to build palaces, palaces, and various yamen in the city, as for those private houses or residences of officials and generals, also build at the same time."

"Also, according to the decree of the king, all those who participated in the construction this time, whether they were soldiers or servants or craftsmen, in addition to three meals, each person was given two taels of silver per month, and after the construction of the new city was completed, all those who participated were eligible to settle in the new city."

"By the way, the king of the south has agreed to the king to restructure Yangzhou Province, and the currency of silver should be vigorously promoted in Hebei, Shandong, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Huainan and Chudi.

"Gather capable scholars from all over the country to participate in the reform, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, tell those people that the construction of the new city will be three years at most, and within three years, this king will see the completion of the new city by the Qinhuai River, if it can't be completed, this king will take them to sacrifice the flag..."

"The prefecture and county system will be completed as soon as possible, Shandong and Hebei have completed the reform, and the rest of the localities should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and those civil officials should be urged to be nimble, and the king does not want those who procrastinate."

"The matter of the canal, like the construction of the new city, is the most important..."Saying that, Shangguan Yin Feng took out a bunch of drawings and said: "This is the drawing of another new city, the construction location, based on the current Beiping City, with this king Xingyuan as the midpoint, and then build, recruit 100,000 craftsmen and craftsmen in Hebei to build, time, this king gives them five years, take your time, don't worry." ”

This city is Beijing City, which is naturally a little smaller than Nanjing, but Shangguan Yin Feng plans to use Nanjing as the imperial capital and Beijing as the accompanying capital, so Beijing cannot be bigger than Nanjing, as for the palace, it is good to make it exactly the same.

"Lord Wang, when will these arrangements start?" Huang Long asked with his fists clenched.

"It's December now, the order goes down, the last period of the end of the year is fully prepared, at the beginning of the third year of Fengtian, the construction will begin, and this king will see the completion of the new city at the beginning of the sixth year of Fengtian."

"Dare to ask the prince, what is the name of Moling New Town, or is it called Moling?"

"Let's talk about it when it's finished, and now this king can't think of what it's called."

"That's right..."Shangguan Yin Feng thought of another important thing, and then took out a bunch of drawings, but there were fewer drawings on them, and more were written: "Give this to those craftsmen who specialize in building city walls, and tell them that using this as a raw material to build a city wall is harder than that made of rammed earth." ”

Huang Long took the drawing and looked at it, the word 'cement' was written on it, what two grinding and one burning, what limestone, he didn't know at all.

"Look for more mines, find them in the mountains around Xuzhou, where there are many ore veins, and the limestone found out is made according to the method written by this king, tell them that they must experiment more, don't be afraid of waste, everything is provided by this king."

"No..."

Shangguan Yin Feng knew how to make cement, there were many cement factories in his hometown, his grandfather was a production worker in the cement factory, he often went in and out of the cement factory when he was a child, and he was more familiar with how to make cement than disassembling firearms.

"The more bluestones, the better, bricks, it's best to use cement to do, or ore to do, anyway, the veins are there, you have to give the greatest help."

"No..."

On the tenth day of December in the second year of Fengtian, when Shangguan Yin Feng was preparing to return to Jinan, news came from Shouchun that Fan Chong and Xiao'an, who stayed in Shouchun, rebelled again, took back Liu Penzi from Dangshan, raised the Han flag again, occupied Shouchun, and gathered nearly 30,000 Chu troops.

In history, Fan Chong and Xiao An did rebel again after accepting Liu Xiu's recruitment, and were finally killed by Deng Yu, but now at this time, it was too sudden, which made Shangguan Yin Feng look confused.

"This dog thing, actually eating inside and out, ignoring the prince's trust in him." Zhang Xiong shouted angrily on the side.

"Not really, Fan Chong is the head of the Chu army, and he also proposed to find Liu Penzi to be the emperor of the founding world, and now that our army is leaving, he will take the lead in rebellion, which is reasonable..."Shangguan Yin Feng reacted but was not angry, but said calmly.

"Lord Wang, the last general will personally lead the army to clean up this group of thieves." Cao Zhen stood up and said.

"You don't need to go, Wen Ruo, you take 50,000 military horses, and Xu Xuan's 30,000 people take the first step, after breaking Shouchun, whether the Chu army surrenders or not, all of them are killed, and the heads are placed outside Shouchun City to warn future generations."

Li Yanqing clenched his fists: "The last general will take the order..."
