Chapter 379: Dragon God Palace
In this reconstruction, Linbei was built in accordance with the requirements of the important town.
Wanghai City is located in the extreme south of the Han Domain, for the original Han Dynasty, the two counties of Jiuzhen and Rinan are chicken ribs and dispensable, but as far as Lin Bei is concerned, his eyes are on the world, so every coastal city is extremely important.
Seven continents and four oceans, the four oceans account for three-quarters of the earth, if he can unify the world, the cities near the coast are the link between countries, Lin Bei even thought that the inland does not need too many cities, and shipping is the real mainstream in the future.
As the first town of the Great Dragon King Sect, Wanghai City is very meaningful to Lin Bei, and this important significance will continue in the future until Lin Bei dies, so Lin Bei hopes that Wanghai City will become better tomorrow.
Under Lin Bei's instructions, Wanghai City is twice as large as the original, this is still an urban area, if converted into an area, there are almost 500 square kilometers, this kind of urban area is already quite large, so to speak, if it is repaired, with this kind of area, it is enough to accommodate the original Wanghai people and the Xiangyang people who came later, if you add the surrounding land area and the jurisdiction under direct control, the scope of Wanghai City is larger, it can be more than ten times, reaching 5,000 square kilometers.
Lin Bei's order was issued, and the bitter ones were naturally An Zhongzhi and Kong Ming Xu Shu and others, who had to arrange for people and slaves to build this huge new city, in addition, Nanshan Academy and road construction had to continue, and at the same time, shipbuilding and steam engine building could not be stopped, Pang Tong Meng Shu and others were working hard to train soldiers, just waiting for the construction of Wanghai City, and it would start a war again.
More than 200 miles away from the sea area east of Wanghai City, two Great Dragon King ships stopped on the surface of the sea, surrounded by a new island formed after the eruption of the volcano.
The original hot spring island and coal island have been swallowed up by the sea, and there is no soil left. The newly formed island is larger than all the previous islands combined, as if it protruded from the bottom of the sea, and the magma and volcanic ash condensed on the island, making the entire island a dark red. There is no grass, but Lin Bei believes that it will not be long before a new biological chain will form on Chidao.
The two Great Dragon King ships sailed here to prepare to erect a dragon ruler in the sea.
The so-called dragon ruler is a thing that Huang Yueying re-made according to Li Bing's water-carved stone figures in the pre-Qin period, and made a total of three dragon rulers, the first one was erected in the upper reaches of the Mekong River in Vientiane City, the second one was erected in the city along the river, and the third one had to be erected here.
The Ryujin ruler has a scale of the water level and is made of bamboo and steel. There is a pedestal under it, so that it sinks into the water, which is hollow, there is a small ball, which can float in the water, and when the water is immersed in the dragon god ruler, the small ball will float up, and the rise and fall of the water level can be observed at any time.
This is something that Huang Yueying made out because of the many floods in Haicheng. There is only one purpose, to monitor the water level. At that time, there will be a special person to record the changes in the water level of the dragon god ruler, and record it, and if you continue to do it for a long time, you can summarize the change cycle of the sea water in the Mekong River and the sea area around Wanghai City, so as to prevent floods.
This method of monitoring does not show efficiency in the short term, but in the long term. The effect is certainly huge.
This kind of thing is indispensable if a regime is to last for a long time, and there were astronomical observatories in ancient times, which seem to be of no use at all in normal times, but at some point. But it works wonders.
Lin Bei is also near the Dawei Dragon King Ship, when he made the Dragon God Ruler, he also personally went to the sea to explore the depth, the deepest place in this sea area reached 800 zhang, that is, 2,400 meters, and the vicinity of Chidao is the deepest place, the Dragon God Ruler is 833 zhang long, it is 2,500 meters, after the Dragon God Ruler is erected, Lin Bei has to go to the bottom of the sea to see if the position is right.
After the dragon god ruler was put down, Lin Bei went to the bottom of the sea to take a look, and even Lin Bei couldn't stay long on the bottom of the sea at a depth of eight hundred zhang, because the pressure in the sea was too great, in this kind of seabed, Lin Bei only felt that his body was imprisoned, but fortunately, because of the earthquake, the fish in this sea area shrank greatly, and there were almost no big fish, and Lin Bei was not in danger.
After the dragon god ruler was properly placed, Lin Bei floated ashore and told the sergeants that it was okay, one Dawei Dragon King ship returned, and the other boat drove to the edge of Chidao, and the sergeant walked down from the boat and began to move things and build the guard tower.
Of course, a guard tower had to be built on Chidao, on the one hand, to serve the fishermen, and on the other hand, to observe the water level.
Akashima is either solidified volcanic magma or gray-black volcanic ash, and it looks like nothing else, but many seabirds hover over Akashima and sometimes stop, and their droppings bring many plant seeds, and it won't be long before the place will be full of life.
In the center of Chidao, Lin Bei saw a large hole that was sunken in, this is a volcanic crater, which has been blocked by magma, it is not as hot as the hot spring island, the temperature is quite suitable, after Lin Bei went around, he found many things like gems, these gems first melted, and then solidified, forming some gorgeous colors, if they can be dug up and sold, the value must be very high, but Lin Bei has no interest in these gems.
After the sentry tower was built and some more people were left, the Great Dragon King ship returned, and Lin Bei also returned to Wanghai City
In the reconstruction of Wanghai City, time passed slowly, and half of June had passed.
This year's Moro Festival was not celebrated with much fanfare, because almost no one remembered that after all, the mango trees had been washed away by the sea and there was no way to talk about the harvest.
The first building to be repaired in Wanghai City is the Dragon God Palace, the location is in the original City Lord's Mansion, it should still be called the City Lord's Mansion, but Bian Ji said casually, saying that the City Lord's Mansion is too cheesy, after this statement, the officials of Wanghai City paid attention, and then, led by An Zhongzhi and Xu Shu, let Lin Bei change the City Lord's Mansion into the Dragon God Palace.
"The Dragon God Palace is also the place where the Dragon God lives, and the Lord is the Great Dragon King, which complements each other." The two spoke.
Lin Bei is also indispensable, so the Dragon God Palace is also settled.
In the past, the City Lord's Mansion was the center of Wanghai City, and now the Dragon God Palace is naturally too, and because the name has been changed, the craftsmen are also more attentive, although Lin Bei does not want to be luxurious, but the Dragon God Palace does represent the face of Wanghai City, so some buildings Lin Bei cannot deny, such as the sacrifice roof, the statue of the Great Dragon King and so on.
The sacrificial platform is as high as ten zhang, it is a platform made of cement, and it is turned up with a ladder, and the length and width of the mesa of the sacrificial platform are also ten zhang, which is the second tallest building in Wanghai City, and all the buildings in the city, whether it is now or later, are not allowed to be higher than the sacrificial rooftop, except for the statue of the great dragon king.
The statue of the Great Dragon King is the tallest building in Wanghai City, and it is probably the highest sculpture of this era, the pedestal of the statue of the Great Dragon King is cast of white coral stone, and the steel is used to make Lin Bei look up to the sky, the eyes of the statue are fist-sized emeralds, the scales on the statue of the Great Dragon King and the number of scales on Lin Bei's body are the same, the proportion of the statue is almost the same as the proportion of Lin Bei's body, the base is two zhang high, and the statue of Lin Bei is ten zhang high, a total of twelve high.
Sacrifice Tiantai and Dawei Dragon King statue one left and one right, Gongyou Dragon God Palace, the four gates of the Dragon God Palace connect four avenues, respectively Wanghai East and West North and South Four Streets, anyone who only sees standing on these four streets, can see these two buildings, it is absolutely eye-catching.
The meaning of these two buildings is also different, the altar is solemn, it is strictly forbidden for people to approach at ordinary times, when it is necessary to pray for blessings, Lin Bei alone or take people to worship the heavens on the altar, the common people and the rest of the officials can only kneel and worship under the altar, but the statue of the dragon king of Dawei represents the blessing, usually people are not forbidden to approach, and the common people can go to the statue to burn incense and worship.
After the completion of the dragon god, with the dragon god palace as the coordinates, build the street, build the dwellings, what was it before is almost the same now, in addition to the four main roads of Wanghai, other streets are also ring roads, alleys and the like shuttle among them, even if it is an outsider, I believe it will not get lost.
The weather was extremely hot in June, and on this day, Lin Bei came back from outside and summoned An Zhongzhi, Bian Ji and Kong Ming to the Dragon God Palace: "The weather outside is very hot, I just walked around, and I saw the common people sweating when they worked, can we work again at night?" ”
"It's okay to work at night, but it's common sense to do it at sunrise and rest at sunset, if you work at night, I'm afraid it won't take long, and it will take a long time to build Wanghai City."
"If you work during the day, you need to give the common people a place to relax." Lin Bei asked Kong Mingdao: "Have you ordered the common people to dig trees in the mountains?" ”
"I've already ordered and planted some, but my lord, now there are no Moro fruit trees, coconut trees and banana trees near Changshan, only some are in Linjiang and Yanhe City, in addition, there seem to be some in the mountains of Yufa County, but if you want to transport it back to Wanghai, you still need to repair the Wangshan Road first, my lord, why don't you dig some other trees?"
Because the fruit trees around Wanghai City have all been swept away by the waves, so Lin Bei wants to plant another batch, but he is embarrassed, because the fruit trees are almost gone, and it is very difficult to reproduce the scene of dozens of miles of fruit forests before.
"Replace it with another tree?" Lin Bei was a little reluctant.
In Lin Bei's vision, the tree will be planted in the city or outside the city, and the green plant will be planted in the desert area, as long as it is not cut down as in later generations, this situation is completely achievable, and the economic value of the fruit tree can be much higher than that of the green plant, and when you are thirsty and hungry, you can pick a fruit to eat what a beautiful thing.
But then, Lin Bei remembered a tree, if that tree was used instead of a fruit tree, Lin Bei didn't mind, the tree that Lin Bei remembered was the huge sacred tree he saw in Fushan. (To be continued......)
