The God-Man Mansion is not far from the Imperial Palace, and after listening to Li Chunfeng's explanation all the way, I soon came to the God-Man Mansion.

Ye Jinyu roughly understood some of the basic common sense of runes, the runes are the same as the five elements of Taoism, there are gold, wood, water, fire and earth, through the organic sorting and combination of the southeast, northwest and four true text runes, you can get some gold, wood, water, fire and earth, wind, rain, thunder, lightning ice and other magical effects; Of course, what kind of power can be achieved by using talismans to produce these effects, firstly, depends on the caster's cultivation level and the degree of understanding of talismans; Then there is the perfect program of the character with the good.

Ye Jinyu naturally has no mana, so he pays more attention to the problem of the talisman itself, whether the talisman is good or not depends on several aspects, the first is the level of the talisman maker, for example, the strength of the talisman maker's own mana, and the degree of understanding of the rune combination; Just like a person writes an essay, the higher the writing ability, the better the essay will naturally be; The more you understand the classical theory of words and rhetoric, the more proficient you will be in quoting scriptures, and the less likely you will be to make low-level mistakes of using idioms and allusions in the wrong place.

In addition to the level of the talisman maker, there are also a variety of talisman methods, the complex point will open the altar method, ask the god to come up, and then come to a ghost to draw the talisman; Slightly simpler, there are stepping on the gossip, traveling in all directions, like a dancing god, guiding the whole body mana to condense the tip of the pen to depict runes; The simpler way is to draw directly, which is the most convenient and the most used; Because the situation encountered by the caster is different each time, the use of talismans should also be adapted to local conditions as much as possible, so as to achieve the best effect in the most labor-saving way. The easiest thing is to print the engraving, select the runes, engrave them on a special board, use cinnabar, ink or blood and other drawing materials as ink, and then on the rune paper, directly press one by one, one by one; As for the geometry of the effect of the things made by this method, Li Chunfeng did not dare to guarantee it.

In addition to these orthodox methods, there are also some more alternative, such as drawing symbols with the tip of the tongue, because the tongue represents the heart, and the heart belongs to fire in the five elements; With the heart fire with cinnabar, which is also a fire material, the talisman drawn is said to be more powerful, so in order to enhance the effect, there are abandonment of the pen and the tip of the tongue to draw the talisman; As for the real effect, Ye Jinyu is not clear.

According to Ye Jinyu's understanding, the method of drawing symbols is just like the input method used by codewriters, some people use pinyin, some people use five strokes, and some people use handwriting; There are also people who type by voice. Although the way is different,But the result is the same,Various input methods to say the difference,Maybe it's just that the speed and typo rate are a little different。 It's just that compared with different input methods, the results achieved by different drawing methods are much more complex.

In addition to the ability and method of the talisman maker, then there is the material of the talisman. The material of the symbol is divided into the symbol base and ink, the symbol base is the carrier of the symbol, the paper is the most common, but with the different attributes of the symbol, the color of the paper is different, roughly divided into yellow, blue, pink, green, red, purple, black; Among them, yellow and white paper are the most common; In addition to paper, wood is also an important symbolic base, and peach, cypress, and jujube are all very commonly used carriers; In addition, bricks, stones, cloth, silk and other textiles can also be used for drawing symbols.

Regarding the rune-based material, Ye Jinyu asked more: "I don't know if the iron plate or copper plate can draw the rune?" ”

To this question, Li Chunfeng's answer was: "It seems that I can't, I have never heard anyone say that you can draw talismans on iron; However, I heard that iron magic weapons were made before. ”

Li Chunfeng couldn't give an answer, and the national teacher also had a thoughtful constipation expression in the back, probably because he was also conservative, and he didn't think about making talismans on iron tools at all. According to Ye Jinyu's own understanding, it is estimated that metal products belong to conductors, unlike paper, wood, masonry, and stones, which are insulators, and mana cannot form circuits in conductors; But the problem is that cinnabar and ink and the like should also be non-conductive; But then again, mana is not electricity, maybe the materials of these talismans can't conduct electricity, but they can allow mana to pass. In this case, the question arises again, why can the police use a baton to activate the fire charm?

No solution.

After walking for about half an hour, several people finally came to the god's mansion given to Ye Jinyu by the emperor...... The city where it is located.

Tang Dynasty Chang'an City implemented the Fang City system, each Fang is like a separate small city, the internal structure is more perfect, there are cross streets in each Fang, respectively called East Street, South Street, West Street, North Street, and then set up small cross streets in the four areas divided by this, forming sixteen blocks, also have special names, such a neat plan has two purposes: one is that the ruler is condescending and easy to control; The other is that the neat layout makes it impossible for fugitive criminals to hide, and the lawsuits, residential houses, and markets are not mixed, which is conducive to maintaining social order.

The municipal axe is very strict in the management of the fang, and the drum is subject to the uniform, and the fang of each fang is responsible for the opening and closing of the fang. At two o'clock in the morning, from the sound of the "dawn drum" in the palace, the drums of the streets are beaten in order, the door of the square is opened, the drum is beaten until dawn, and the drum is closed every night, and no entry and exit are allowed. At night, a strict curfew is imposed on the streets of the city, and if there is a "night offender, twenty lashes", even officials. The restrictions on the city are also very harsh: "In all cities, the crowd will meet with 300 drums in the middle of the day, and the crowd will disperse with 300 cymbals three quarters before the sunset."

This system is an artificial pattern, rather than a product of the natural development of the city, which is seriously deviating from the function of the city and hindering the development of industry and commerce and interpersonal exchanges. However, in the early Tang Dynasty, it was very marketable. After more than 400 years of division and chaos in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, by the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the population had dropped sharply, the land was barren for a large number of miles, the vast number of miles away, the population was cut off, the chickens and dogs were not heard, and the economy was depressed. Developing agricultural production and stabilizing social order became the primary tasks of the rulers headed by Li Yuan. In order to restore and develop production, the Tang Dynasty political axe popularized the system of equalizing land in the rural areas, realized that the cultivators had their own land, lightly paid the small endowment, reduced the burden on the peasants, and stabilized and increased the rural labor force. If a large number of peasants leave the land, it will affect economic development at least and endanger the stability of the feudal regime. In the cities, the kind of fang-market system that Ye Jinyu saw was vigorously promoted to put an end to the realistic way of peasants leaving their hometowns and leaving their land. The existence of the fang market system makes it impossible for farmers to come to the city freely, thus ensuring the sufficiency of agricultural labor, which is conducive to the recovery and development of agriculture and even the entire social economy in Datang today.

At least, this system was maintained until the middle of the Tang Dynasty, when the national economy developed by leaps and bounds, the population continued to increase, people's demand for commodity exchange continued to expand, and the closed market system of time-limited trading could no longer adapt to the development of the city, and the market system slowly disappeared; By the time of Xuanzong, it was completely decayed.

Passing through the high square wall, entering the interior of the square market, it is a long courtyard wall, and a vermilion lacquer gate is sandwiched in the courtyard wall at intervals

The God's Mansion is at the entrance of Fang City.

There are two vermilion lacquer gates, and the house inside the door does not look like it has been finished, and groups of craftsmen carry materials in and out.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, the group entered the gate.

It's huge!

According to Ye Jinyu's idea, the house should be a separate house like the house in the countryside, with the upstairs and downstairs façade; But the god-man mansion in front of him was beyond his imagination, and it was no longer called a house, it should be called a compound. A few before and after, carved beams and painted buildings, oily and shiny; For the first time, Ye Jinyu felt that his education level was so low that he couldn't describe the shock that this gave him.

"This house is so big! But it was built too quickly, and it was built in two days. ”

The eunuch who led the way said proudly: "Dare to let the gods know that the gods and men are built in accordance with the rules of the king's palace. ”

As soon as he heard the word palace, Ye Jinyu remembered what Boss Ma said when he came to collect the book: Today you dare to say that this is a Tang book, and tomorrow you will not become the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he actually said that although he had not yet become the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he had already enjoyed the treatment of the prince.

The eunuch explained: "It's not that the craftsmen build it quickly, who can build a palace in a day?" In fact, it was the official residence of a former court official; It's just that it has been uninhabited for several years, and some of them are dilapidated, and in addition, the original house system is not in line with the status of a god, and His Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Works to expand; In order to allow the gods to use the gods' mansion as soon as possible, His Majesty also ordered the Ministry of Works to step up repairs, and for this reason, the construction of the palace was stopped. Between the words, the eunuch did not forget to speak for his own emperor.

The eunuch was explaining, and a petty officer who looked like a foreman ran over to salute:

"The lower official will be the right colonel of the superintendent, Sun Xin, and he has seen the princes."

This steward official named Sun Xin actually didn't know Ye Jinyu and his party, but the person who could let the eunuch lead the way must not be small, just call it noble; I don't know what grade the eunuch who led the way was, but the national teacher who followed behind him was a proper high-ranking official; So there is nothing wrong with such a title.

When the eunuch who led the way saw someone coming to greet him, he introduced: "You are the steward here?" Just in time, this Lang Jun is a Ye Shenren personally sealed by His Majesty, and this mansion you built is built for Godmen; Now the man of God wants to inspect the progress, and you will accompany the man of God to explain all the way. ”

When the official heard this, he glanced up at Ye Jinyu; It was rumored early in the court, and one day when the hundred officials were in the morning court, a strange person suddenly appeared from the sky and opened a divine door beside His Majesty; Weights and measures such as the public step were offered to His Majesty; His Majesty said: God-man.

When I saw it today, it was as rumored that he had short hair and a change in clothes, with red lips and white skin.

"Xia Guan has seen a man of God, and today he can see the face of a man of God, it is really a blessing for three lives." The official didn't hesitate to slap the ass.

The national teacher listened to it in the back and said, "Hugh is noisy, and the head leads the way." "Today, the temper of the national teacher seems to be a little not very good.

The official glanced at the old man in the Taoist robe in surprise, he didn't know the identity of the Taoist priest, and he was a little at a loss.

The eunuch hurriedly introduced: "This Taoist is the national teacher of the dynasty. I haven't seen the national teacher soon. ”

The official hurriedly saluted: "The lower official has seen the national teacher, and today he can see the national teacher's face, which is really a blessing for the three lives." ”

It's obviously a sycophant, why did the national teacher jump his eyebrows after hearing it.

The little official is so ignorant, how can he still be promoted to the right school, really.

"Take us to see the house." Ye Jinyu just wants to see what his house will look like in the future, so he doesn't care about the black face of the national teacher.

"Yes, God-man, please." As he spoke, he moved out of the way and stretched out his hand to signal Ye Jinyu to go forward.

"The Shenren Mansion is about 300 steps long from north to south, about 150 kilometers wide from east to west, and the mansion building is divided into three roads: east, middle and west. The middle road is the main building, and the roof of the hall is made of green glazed tiles, which shows the majesty of the middle road, and it is also the embodiment of the identity of the god and man. ”

Walking into the first entry, the houses inside are not as glamorous as the outside, and the craftsmen are still busy, building what should be built, and making up what should be repaired. Surprisingly, there is also a small stream of living water running through the wall in the courtyard.

"The task given by His Majesty is very tight, so we have prepared three shifts of manpower to repair from front to back, all the way to stop work, day and night construction, but because the time is too short, only the front yard has been repaired for the time being, and the remaining buildings are still under intense construction; In addition, the garden also needs to be slowly enriched by the gods themselves in the future. ”

The territory is one hundred and fifty meters wide and three hundred meters deep, and this place will be its own from now on. Ye Jinyu thought proudly.

The place is quite wide, but it is a bit wasteful, dozens of acres of land, living alone.

Thinking about the model of the modern community, Ye Jinyu asked the official:

"Why don't you push the courtyard wall, build a row of façade houses for business, rent it out, and make a profit."

The official hurriedly said: "No, the fang is a residential area, the city is a trading area, the fang market is open and closed, and the transaction is scattered." The establishment and abolition of the market are subject to the order of the government, and private individuals are not allowed to set up markets in the Fang District; ”

"The government has set up full-time officials in each city, and all business activities in the city must be under the supervision and jurisdiction of the city officials; Men of God, if you open a market in this place, it will not be in accordance with the law! ”

"Bold!" Ye Jinyu didn't express his regret, and the eunuch next to him shouted, "Your Majesty has an edict, but the gods and men have requirements, and there is no prevarication; Everything is subject to the requirements of God-man. "The meaning is clear, the emperor asks for the fulfillment of any request made by the gods, and if the request is unreasonable, the relevant departments must make it reasonable.

The official still hesitated, and said: "All the people in this workshop are members of the imperial court, and the market should be a cheap industry after all; If a man of God insists on doing so, he is afraid that his identity will be damaged. ”

"This ......" is engaged in cheap business, and the eunuch doesn't have much to say, so he can only look at Ye Shenren.

Ye Jinyu knew that there was an industry ranking of farmers and industrialists in ancient times, and he also knew that merchants were a despised industry in ancient times, but he didn't expect this contempt to be so serious that it had been carved into his bones.

But he also knows that this is not right, normal business activities are discriminated against, social resources are not exchanged, and business is despised, which is unfair to a member of the society. Moreover, Ye Jinyu himself is a physical businessman, and this kind of discrimination itself is aimed at him Ye Shenren; We must correct this concept, business practices are discriminatory, how can this god sell goods in the future?

"Open!" Ye Jinyu said: "Tear down all the walls on all four sides and build a shop that only opens to the outside and does not open the back door. ”

"Ahh The official in charge of supervising the creation of the God-Man Mansion seemed to be incredulous, and confirmed again: "Really open? Isn't the God-Man Mansion surrounded by the untouchables? ”

If he dares to do this, he will definitely be impeached by the other residents of the square until he vomits blood; But he couldn't change the mind of the man of God, so he could only look at the eunuch who led the way as if asking for help.

The eunuch who led the way didn't care about him, the eunuch was only responsible to the emperor, since the emperor said that everything was subject to the requirements of the gods and men, then what was there to hesitate, impatiently said to the official:

"The man of God has already spoken, what are you still doing in a daze, do what the man of God says."

The officials reluctantly accepted the order, and then walked away and instructed the craftsmen to prepare to tear down the wall. The apprentice of the national master who had been following behind stepped forward at this time and asked Ye Jinyu in a low voice: "Ye Shenren, do you really want to make the Shenren Mansion a merchant mansion?" Li Chunfeng felt that he had a very happy conversation with this Ye Shenren all the way, the young man was good, and he couldn't watch this wonderful man fall into business, and he also had a bit of a sense of persuasion.

Even outsiders don't look down on businessmen, Ye Jinyu can only shake his head and sigh: "I don't know why you discriminate against businessmen so much, as the old saying goes: no farming is not stable, no work is not rich, no business is not living; The development of agriculture is the foundation of a country's stability, and the development of industry can make the country rich and strong; But there is no commerce to do it, and it will not invigorate the output of industry and agriculture; Therefore, if a country wants to be rich and strong, all three are indispensable. ”

Li Chunfeng said in his heart who said this old saying, it makes sense.

The leading eunuch over there also pricked up his ears and secretly memorized that the Holy Emperor was very concerned about this god-man; Write down every word and deed of the gods, go back and report to the emperor, and if you can't say anything, you will get a reward.
