Chapter 77: A Housewife Who Teaches Her Children (16)

Annan wandered at sea for more than two months, and finally came to the small country that An Sheng said, she went to see the king of the small country as soon as possible, and sent a large number of exquisite silk, tea and exquisite porcelain and other items unique to the East.

After meeting the king, An Nan took people to his own territory, which was originally a deserted place, there was no one in a radius of ten miles, and everything was in an undeveloped state.

The aborigines had a large area of land for them to cultivate, so they would not have set foot here, otherwise this land would not have been sold to Annan so casually by the king.

When An Nan arrived, this place had already been initially established by An Sheng and the first batch of people who voluntarily followed, with sparse houses, reclaimed land and newly built roads, saying that it was a city, but in fact it was more like a village.

"From now on, this place will be called 'Anseong', safe An." An Nan announced to everyone that she would not know that from now on, Anseong, a small city that was still as rough as a village at this time and had nothing, would gradually evolve into the most prosperous, wealthy and desirable city in the world.

Annan had spent a long time in the later generations when the city had matured in size, so she knew some knowledge of urban planning, so she gathered the knowledgeable professionals she had brought from China, and gave them various things that needed to be paid attention to when building a city, and very simply and crudely divided the indispensable areas of residential, commercial, educational, and agricultural cultivation areas, and decided on their uses according to their names, which were simple and straightforward.

Drawing the lesson of the major cities being flooded during heavy rains in later generations, Annan specially reminded that when building houses and roads, we must pay attention to the drainage system, after all, floods in this era are very common but the impact is very large, and only the underground drainage system is built well to prevent the loss of the people in the city.

gave advice to professionals, and how to do it is their business, and An Nan will not point fingers.

Because of her suggestions, the urban planning of Anseong is advanced beyond its time, bringing many conveniences and benefits to the people of Anseong, and those seemingly inconspicuous constructions and initiatives have been running intact for thousands of years, protecting the people of the city.

Therefore, when many large cities were often flooded because of substandard drainage systems, and the people complained endlessly, Anseong became a particularly bright and independent wonder, because it was never flooded.

So the people who had suffered so much from the flooding scolded their government, saying that they were not even as good as the ancients of a thousand years ago, and that the city they built was not as good as an ancient city! What a modern man in vain!

The city planners who were scolded so much had to come to Anseong to visit and learn about its well-developed underground drainage system, but this time, they found that the urban construction of Anseong was more exquisite and scientific than they thought, and after the visit, they often made their eyes open, so later there was a special sub-section of the history of architecture: the history of Anseong architecture.

At this time, An Nan did not know that the city she founded would have such a great influence in the future, and she was worrying about what kind of house to build, after all, the environment, climate, and terrain here are different from those in China, and the domestic houses may not be suitable for here.

She thought about it for a while, and suddenly it occurred to her that it would be better to refer to the houses of the local aborigines. They have lived here for generations, and the house they built is definitely the most suitable for the environment here, so she can learn from it, and the house matter is solved.

……

Annan is busy in Ancheng but full of energy every day, because to build a city by herself, to see the city develop into her ideal shape little by little, to complete a plan, is a very fulfilling thing, Annan is fascinated by this feeling, so she is most active to urge the craftsmen to work.

All the people who came here voluntarily knew An Nan, knew that she brought them out of the country full of smoke and precariousness, and it was she who gave them a peaceful and peaceful life now, without worrying about war and hunger taking their lives, so they regarded An Nan as a great bodhisattva who rescued the suffering, and every time they saw her, they would bow to her heartily to express their gratitude, and even some old people would kneel down with tears in their eyes, thanking her for giving their family the hope of life and the happy life they have now.

When she first encountered these scenes, An Nan was very unaccustomed, embarrassed and uneasy, but then she gradually saw more and more, and she was very calm, after all, she deserved it.

Because all people have hope for life, they are naturally full of motivation to build their own city, so the construction of Anseong proceeded quickly, and after a few months, Anseong has been very different from what Annan saw when he first came, and finally a city has appeared, and the people are satisfied with houses to live in and land to plant, and gradually take root here and live and work in peace and contentment.

It takes a lot of money to build a city, and An Nan is happy and worried, happy because Ancheng has been successfully built, and he has a full sense of achievement; She is worried because she has spent seventy or eighty percent of the money she has saved since she became a maritime businessman, and she is worried that the follow-up development money will not keep up.

She didn't know at this time that the weekly exhibition gave her a big surprise and solved her urgent need.

……

In the capital of China, the war has developed to the point of breaking out, and the king of Nanyang has sent troops to surround the gate of the capital, ready to wait.

The emperor was furious in his bedroom, almost pulling all the hair on his head, and after resentment for a long time, he finally calmed down, called the secret guard, and asked, "When will the king of Nanyang break through the city gate?" ”

The Dark Guard replied, "Tomorrow morning." ”

"So fast?" The emperor sighed dejectedly, as if he was ten years old, and his spirit was suddenly gone, his lips trembled, he closed his eyes, and finally squeezed out a sentence in embarrassment, "Tell me to go down and prepare to evacuate the capital." ”

In the end, he chose to live in secret.

The Dark Guard took the order and prepared without the slightest disagreement.

The emperor hid the jade seal and comforted himself, only if the jade seal was in his hands, then he would be able to snatch it back sooner or later! Let the king of Nanyang be happy for a while now! He thought to himself.

He decided to go to his henchmen who were still being beaten back by the barbarians on the frontier, although they had always lost the battle, but at least they were loyal to their soldiers, as long as there were soldiers, then he had hope of taking back the world!
