Chapter 298 Official Office

Cheng announced that the political envoy Buzheng Division, that is, the Sichuan Domain, was located at the southern foot of Wudan Mountain in the northwest corner of the city, which is now in the Chengdu Military District. According to the Prosecutor's Division, it is on the "East Gate Neizheng Street", that is, this Chunxi South Road. All command the envoys, in the "East Gate Inner Street", that is, the city guards the East Street. The Qing Army Procuratorate, that is, the Qing Army Imperial History Bureau, is on the main street of the east gate of Dacheng, which is now the Middle East Street. The Governor's Inspectorate was in the front street of the Inspectorate, which is now the Governor's Yuan Street. The General Military Mansion, behind the Metropolitan Command Division, is about the present-day General Mansion Street or Admiral Street. The governor of Sichuan is also the title of the right attendant of the military department and the deputy capital of the Imperial History, so it is also called the ministry and the governor, and its office is called "General Yamen", and there is still a street name "General Yamen", that is, the west side of the People's Park. Chengdu County Bureau, Mingren He Yudu's "Yibu Talks" said: "Yangxiong's old house, in the west of the house, Chengdu County, its old site also." In front of the current domain, there is an ink pond and a grass pavilion. "The front street on the west side of Zhengfu Street is said to be the former residence of Yangxiong, which is now the location of the Teaching and Research Department of the Qingyang District Education Bureau. Chengdu Fuxue, in the south of the province, that is, the site of Wenweng Stone Room and Zhou Gongli Palace, is now the Stone Room Middle School. The architectural pattern of local government offices in ancient China underwent a significant change in the Ming Dynasty, which was that Taizu promulgated the "paradigm" that should be followed in the construction of local government offices in the early Ming Dynasty. The main difference between this regulation and the previous dynasty was that "the residence of the government and the offices of the officials were placed in it". According to the regulations, officials must live in the official mansion and are not allowed to mix with the people. Judging from the literature, the pattern of many newly renovated or rebuilt government offices in the early Ming Dynasty did follow the new regulations, but in some places, due to the influence of economic conditions or historical patterns, they did not fully comply with the new regulations, for example, in some places, the government offices were not included in the county government. Most of the Chengdu mansions and county yamen in the Ming Dynasty were built in the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, and it should be said that they basically followed this construction regulation.

The religious and religious public buildings of Chengdu Prefecture are very conspicuous, occupying the rest of the space outside the government offices. Originally, Chengdu in the Ming Dynasty was a city where the scale of palaces and temples did not decrease in the scale of the two capitals (Nanjing and Beijing). According to He Yudu's "Yibu Talks", "Asgard Buddhist Temple, Chengdu is quite prosperous. Half created from the time of the Shu domain to the king. It is not only a succession of feudal feuds, but also a high value and thus a benefit. The corridor of the palace is gorgeous and open. The view is like Xuantian and Yuntai; Temples such as Zhaojue, Golden Statue, Jingju, Jingyin (commonly known as Wanfu), Jinsha; Temples such as the Zhao Martyrs' Temple; The palace is like Qingyang Palace. The scale of both is not reduced, which is enough for the tour. ”

In the map of the Apocalypse "Chengdu Mansion Chronicles", the buildings that reflect the religious nature include those that worship the orthodox religion of Buddha and Taoism, such as Zhaojue Temple, Daci Temple, Golden Statue Temple, Jinsha Temple, Golden Rope Temple, Xilian Temple, White Horse Temple, Fan'an Temple, Zhengfa Temple, Wanshou Temple, Qingyang Palace, Zhenwu Palace, Chongyang Temple, Baoguang Temple, Baiyun Nunnery, etc.; There are worship of secular gods, such as the City God Temple, Nandu Temple, Wuxian Temple, Fire Temple, Guanwang Temple, Wenshuai Temple, Xuantan Temple, Old Ghost Temple, Eight Wax Temple, etc.; There are sacrifices to the sages, such as Yuwang Temple, Zhuge Temple, Wuhou Temple, Shehong Temple, Xiangxian Famous Eunuch Temple, Liuxian Temple, Zhao Gong Temple, Qiao Gong Temple, Great Confucian Temple, Qianxi Temple, Wenchang Temple, etc.

It is worth noting that this does not include unapproved "obscenity", and the worship of officially approved gods and sages. In the eyes of the officials, gentry, and mappers of the time, these places of worship to the gods were as public spaces in the city as were the public offices of the government. It can be seen that while strengthening the official office as a ruling institution, Yutu did not forget to mark the sacrificial places dedicated to the gods so conspicuously. The purpose of this practice is nothing more than to combine political power and ideological education through the cooperation between the yang and the underworld, so as to achieve domination and control over the city.

In later generations, the major streets of Chengdu can still see the street names named after various temples, it can be seen how many religious temples there are in the ancient city of Chengdu, from the side also reflects the prosperity of various religions in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the means and purposes of the rulers, but in spite of this, there are no ten of them that have been preserved so far, the most famous ones are Wuhou Temple and Qingyang Palace, Daci Temple and Zhaojue Temple, and there is also a Baoguang Temple that is also quite well protected, and even experienced many war years are basically complete, The most important thing is that there are a lot of valuable cultural relics preserved in the temple, which has brought invaluable historical materials to the archaeological work of later generations!

In the map of Tianqi's "Chengdu Mansion Chronicles", two types of special public buildings are also marked, namely, warehouses built for famine and schools for construction. In the southwest of the city, the map is marked with a place of "Fengning Cang". According to Fengning warehouse, it refers to the two reserve warehouses placed in Chengdu Prefecture——— the joint name of Guangfeng warehouse and Guangning warehouse. In the Ming Dynasty, the rice supplied to the local feudal clans was routinely allocated in the reserve granaries of various places. In the fourteenth year of Wanli (1586), the Sichuan Fu Guan said in a report: "Sichuan Wangfu Lu grain is folded in Feng and Ning Ercang, and the rice in Neijiang and Xindu counties is allocated." Since the fourteenth year of (Wanli) as the beginning, another set up the name of the king's grain, according to the number of levies to dissolve the hearing, its discount points to the county king below the old seal is still folded six points, after the new seal in accordance with the rules to stop breaking two points, forever for the rule. It shows that this local official warehouse is very rich in rice and grain. In addition to grasping the reserve of "material food", on the other hand, the government also pays attention to the accumulation of "spiritual food". This is mainly reflected in the annotations on the map of public buildings such as culture and education, with a total of "Gongyuan", "Fuxue", "Chengdu School", "Huayang School", "Wenchang Palace", "Great Confucian Temple", "Liuxian Temple" and other buildings. Interestingly, unlike the general map that is represented by icon symbols, in the "Fuzhi Sanqu Jiumo Palace Room Map", it is also represented by the method of the front view of the elevation. For example, in the school palace, there are painted "Zhuxing Gate" and "Dacheng Hall", and in the "Fuxue", there are architectural patterns such as "Minglun Hall".

Due to the large number of government yamen, it is not to be listed one by one, and these official yamen will have some intersection in the future, so they are put forward for memory. Since the official districts in Chengdu in the Ming Dynasty were mainly concentrated in the north of the city, especially in the northwest, the commercial districts that were closely related to the lives of the citizens were mainly distributed in the east and south of the city. The construction of the urban area in the Ming Dynasty was that there were streets under the streets and squares under the streets.

It can be seen how big the Chengdu Mansion was in the Ming Dynasty, Wan Qiyang and his party entered the city from the east gate of the city, and Wei San was temporarily living in the Cheng Mansion on the street behind the 'General Yamen', the front is the office of the governor of Sichuan, and the back is where the family of Lord Cheng lives. Naturally, it is also the place where Zhao Long's brothers live temporarily, and Wan Qiyang is naturally going to diagnose and treat Wei San's injury first, because Li Chang did not explain it in detail at that time, so Wan Qianyang only had to understand it first, and then visit Master Cheng.

After Wan Qiyang entered the city, it was quiet on the main road, and he couldn't see a few people. It was probably time for the curfew, and besides, they walked to the administrative area of the government office, and naturally there were no private houses here, only the yamen and the officials' mansions. Along the way, their horses walked on the big bluestone floor tiles on the street were very crisp, Wan Qiyang and the three of them came to a gray and white high wall, it seemed that they knew that there was a mansion inside the wall, could it be that Zhao Long took him to Lord Cheng's residence first?
