Chapter 705: Ask Feng Shui First

@@@@@

The Lifting Division, which is responsible for the expansion of Tokyo City, was officially established, so Yang Yi had another official position to promote.

He himself doesn't know much about the specific affairs of the city, but it doesn't matter, Scholar Yang is not without talents, Shen Qingzhi was the first to be brought over by him, that's right, it's you, who made your father a scientist, you are also a scientist.

Even the specific selection of people to enrich the promotion department was handed over to Shen Qingzhi to pick, because of the great merit in governing the Yellow River, Shen Qingzhi has now moved to the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry, a high-ranking official of the fourth grade;

He can have today, all thanks to Yang Yi's hand, and Yang Yi also corrected his name, this kindness has nothing to say, Yang Yi has been sent, so he naturally works hard to complete it.

Yang Yi took over the expansion mission, of course, he couldn't take it too lightly, he found all the information in Tokyo City, and familiarized himself with it in the academy, so that he could have a bottom in his heart.

In fact, this is not the first time that Tokyo Castle has been expanded, and the current Tokyo Castle is divided into an imperial castle, an inner castle, and an outer castle, with a total of three castle walls.

The inner city was built in the second year of Tang Jianzhong (781 AD), with a circumference of 20 miles and 155 steps, with a total of 10 city gates and 2 water gates.

After the Later Zhou Dynasty built the capital here, Kaifeng City became unprecedentedly prosperous, and the small inner city was overwhelmed, so the Later Zhou Xiande three years (956 AD) expanded the outer city.

The outer city is nearly square in plan, 7.5 kilometers long from north to south, 7 kilometers long from east to west, with 12 city gates and 7 water gates. The city wall is 4 zhang high, 5 zhang 9 feet wide, and has 12 gates.

Outside the city there is a ditch known as the "Molong River". It is more than 30 meters wide. Weeping willows are planted on the edge of the ditch, and the willow silk flutters in spring and summer. It forms a beautiful landscape.

The layout of Tokyo Castle is basically a continuation of the traditions of the Sui and Tang dynasties. However, it is different from Chang'an and Luoyang in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is not built under complete planning and design, like Chang'an and Luoyang, but rebuilt on the basis of an old city.

This, combined with the city's large population and unprecedented commercial boom, has had a significant impact on the layout of the city.

The main streets of Tokyo City are the main streets that lead to the various gates: from Seontokumon Gate to Minamixunmon Gate; From the outside of Xuande Gate to the east to Tushizi, then turn north through Fengqiu Gate and extend to Yongtai Gate, from the state bridge to the east through Lijing Gate to Yangmen; From the state bridge, go west through Yiqiu Gate to Suncheon Gate. These four streets are called "Imperial Roads" and were used by the emperor to enter and exit.

The streets of the city vary in width and narrowness. The narrow streets are twenty-five to fifty paces wide;

The wide royal street in front of the Xuande Gate is more than 200 steps wide, about 300 meters, and is actually a square in front of the palace.

However, the length of the royal street is only about 1,000 steps, that is, about 1,500 meters long, and there are six yamen distributed in the two. In front of the yamen are a variety of hawker stalls, which can be said to be the biggest feature of Tokyo, not to mention the six yamen, and there are all kinds of shops outside the two provinces.

There is no way around it, because business in Tokyo is too prosperous. It is difficult to strictly separate residential and commercial areas as Chang'an did in the Tang Dynasty, and both the outer city and the inner city are mixed with residential and commercial areas.

It's not just these shopped shops. There are also a large number of temporary stalls along the street and river, and even many small boats have been converted into mobile shops, and there is a kind of car boat on the shore. Animals are dragged along the streets, and there are all kinds of goods on the trucks and boats. The shouts came and went.

In addition to the prosperity of business, there are many powerful people in Beijing. There are countless families of wealthy businessmen, and these wealthy families are rich and powerful, and the mansions built occupy more than ten acres. The city of Tokyo is so big that the phenomenon of "street invasion" is getting worse, and the streets are far less wide than the data on paper shows.

Some streets were originally twenty or thirty paces wide, but if you invade a little, I will occupy a little, and finally it will become a narrow alley. It's very suitable for men and women who are cheating. Well, Scholar Yang seems to have lived happily in a small alley.

The problem is that the streets are not used to cheat on you, and now the streets of Tokyo are full of traffic jams, such narrow streets, and the houses are mostly bamboo and wood structures, and a fire is terrible, although there is a hidden fire shop in the city within a hundred steps, and there is a special lookout, but after the fire, it is often not extinguished, and the narrow streets can not play the role of a separation zone, and sometimes a few squares are all burned.

Yang Yi has experienced a fire since he entered Beijing, which was a man-made arson, but fortunately it rained that night, and the fire was controlled, so there was no large-scale damage.

Now that the capital is to be expanded, these issues must be taken into account.

Shen Qingzhi quickly settled on the list of officials who expanded the promotion division, of course, this was only a preliminary list, consisting of twenty officials of all ranks and eight craftsmen experienced in construction.

Yang Yi handed over the official paper, and all the twenty-eight people entered the expansion and lifting division.

In terms of personnel deployment, Zhang Dian did not deliberately obstruct again, he proposed to let Yang Yi build the city, in addition to the accident of temptation, he did think that Yang Yi had this ability to co-ordinate.

And now that Yang Yi has taken the initiative to accept this dispatch, it is tantamount to showing an attitude of retreat, if it is pressed step by step, it will undoubtedly lead to a violent backlash from Yang Yi.

Among these twenty-eight people, many of them were known to Yang Yi, the first was Langzhong Wade of the Ministry of Industry, his arrival made Yang Yi cough lightly twice, and then became serious and inviolable, as if someone was about to violate him.

There is also a person who made Yang Yi a little surprised, Comrade Su Xiu, who will be the chief bookkeeper of the prison, this guy has been entangled all night for the consistent money, and Shen Qingzhi actually fell in love with him? Yang Yi didn't care much about this matter, so it was good to let the Su family Xiaowu come to him and follow the experience.

There is another person Yang Yi is more familiar with, he is the general prison lieutenant colonel, Sima Bofang, this person is the top talent of the Great Song Dynasty in architecture, the Ming Hall of the palace was built by him, Yang Yi has chatted with him a few times, knowing that he is indeed a real person, of course he will not let go, Sima Bofang is personally named by him to come.

The Expansion and Lifting Division is located in a row of vacant buildings in the Ministry of Rites, which is the lightest of the six departments in normal times. Usually only in the year when the ritual examination is held, or when it comes to spring and autumn sacrifices. The Ministry of Rites will be busy.

There are more than 300 houses in the Ministry of Rites, and one-third of them are vacant in normal times. Now these idle houses have been asked by Yang Yi to come over as the office space for the expansion of the lifting division;

Twenty-eight people, plus Yang Yi and Shen Qingzhi, a total of thirty people, occupying nearly a hundred houses, looked like lonely ghosts, and when the official envoy of the Ministry of Rites passed by, there was always some ridicule on his face.

Yang Yi couldn't care about other people's eyes, as soon as this group of core members arrived, he immediately gathered everyone and said, "Everyone should know what they are doing when they bring you over." Within three days, I will see a detailed expansion plan, which includes the overall plan, the order of construction, the number of workers, and the approximate length of the project and how much budget is required, all of which you must list to the official within three days. so as to submit it to the imperial court for review as soon as possible. ”

When everyone heard this, their nerves suddenly tensed, there were too many things to consider to expand the capital, and it would be too difficult to complete these tasks assigned by Yang Yi within three days. But no one dared to stand up and refute Yang Yi.

Only the Su family Goro was not afraid of power, he got up and said: "The lower official has something to remind the scholars, the capital is the residence of the emperor. It is related to the luck of the dragon vein, and how to plan the combination of yin and yang. It doesn't matter if the officials say it, and it doesn't count if the university scholars say it. It is appropriate to ask Si Tianjian for proper. ”

Yang Yi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, this time it was really thanks to the Su family's Xiaowu that the theory of feng shui, even in the 21st century, is still prevalent, let alone nowadays, what boring things such as "too daylight" are to be recorded in history;

If you ignore feng shui, no matter what kind of disaster there is in the future, others will definitely buckle it on your head, saying that it is caused by your own destruction of dragon vein feng shui, and it really comes to that point, the consequences are unimaginable, unless you really pull the flag and rebel, otherwise the end will be very bleak.

Okay, let's ask those gods first, how this expansion project is in line with feng shui.

Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shen Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, you have stayed in Si Tianjian, you are more familiar with it over there, so you can go to Si Tianjian, and what Si Tianjian says, you don't have to talk much, they have the final say." ”

"Obey your lordship's orders, and the next official will go." Shen Qing straightened up and walked out quickly.

Yang Yi said to the rest of the officials a little boringly: "We can't decide on the layout of the new city, you can preliminarily think about the details first, Si Tianjian has news from there, and then send someone to the academy to inform me." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know the general layout, so what other ideas were faint?

Yang Yi didn't care what they thought, he left first, saying that this time he was really bored, originally, he had already rolled up his sleeves and was ready to do a big job, but he was told that this project still needs the approval of "relevant departments".

Moreover, this "relevant department" is still Si Tianjian who specializes in pretending to be a ghost, this fairy fart is extraordinary, and the ghost knows what layout they will come up with.

Since we don't know, let's wait.

After that momentum was interrupted, Yang Yi became lazy, after leaving the Ministry of Rites, he didn't have the heart to go to the Academy, from the side street to the west, a square behind the Ministry of Rites was Xingguo Fang, and the poor and bored Yang University decided to go back to the new house first to put a pillow and sleep.

The two concubines and a princess on the side of the new house definitely didn't expect Yang Yi to come at this time, Yang Yi, as usual, didn't let people inform, and entered the backyard by himself, the courtyard was still quiet and silent, and the pavilions and pavilions were locked with streamers.

Yang Yi walked to Ruan Rou's small courtyard, and heard a faint voice from upstairs, Yang Yi didn't pay much attention to it at first, women, like canaries have been locked up for a long time, it is inevitable that they will feel a little bored, and it is normal for a few people to make trouble, Yang Yi smiled slightly, and walked upstairs with light steps.

The second floor is a hall and two rooms, Yang Yi suddenly appeared at the staircase, and a little maid ring guarding the door of the hall just saw his shadow, and her expression immediately changed greatly, and she wanted to retreat in a panic;

Yang Yi immediately realized that something was wrong, and with a finger of his hand, the little girl ring was suddenly so frightened that her feet took root, and she trembled in place.

At this time, Yang Yi also vaguely heard the woman's suppressed moans coming from the room, he was not a junior brother who didn't know anything, as soon as he heard this gentle moan, he knew what was going on, and his eyes were as cold as a bayonet in an instant.
