Chapter 40: Building Alan County - Two Tigers (Part I)
After the general Lei rode away, a stone hanging in Li Yang's heart finally landed, Guanshan carefully put the sketch of Alan County on the table, everyone was full of curiosity and surrounded it, although Guanshan painted a sketch but it was indeed very exquisite, and all kinds of buildings and layout were clearly visible
Li Yang looked at this sketch and admired Guanshan from the bottom of his heart: Guanshan Daoist, tell us about the Alan County you painted
Guanshan stepped forward to "cough" and coughed lightly: this sketch is the first masterpiece of poor Taoism in this life, it not only contains the construction of towns and towns but also integrates the essence of Taoism, two yi give birth to four elephants - four elephants give birth to eight directions - to the terrain to 24 o'clock - eight liters and eight changes, a total of sixty-four hexagrams, also known as sixty-four changes
Li Yang asked softly: Guanshan Daoist, we don't know much about the Tao, so you can tell us more carefully
Guanshan nodded slightly: Taoist culture is broad and profound, not ordinary people can understand it in ten years and eight years, people who are destined to understand the Tao in one day, and people who are not destined to understand it may take several years or even not understand anything, and everyone has come out of the Tao and understand it differently, and the poor Tao has only dared to say that he understands the Tao 4 percent since he was a child with the master in the Taoist temple, perhaps because of the dullness of the poor Tao
The construction of Alan County should first determine the north and south of the two instruments, the north is divided into martial elephants and cultural images, the left martial elephant has built a large school field including - infantry school field - archer school field - cavalry school field - in the future there will be a siege equipment school field - military dormitory - armor warehouse - horse loading warehouse, and the right Wenxiang has a large manor - government - county government yamen - silver warehouse - grain warehouse - warehouse, large manor and government courtyard for you to live
Beiyi is divided into the left elephant and the right worker, the existing population of Alan Village is 4,300 people, according to the calculation of 3 people per household, plus the spare house, it is estimated that 2,000 houses need to be built, the 100 houses are divided into a district, a total of 20 districts, each household occupies an area of 39 feet long, 30 feet wide, 39 feet long, 18 feet wide, and the rest of the yard, each district must have a shared thatched house and a shared water well, there should be a small road between the districts, and the two paths are planted with trees such as willow, poplar, pine, oak, etc., and four northwest districts will be built in the south of the school field of Beiyi Wuxiang University, In the east of the Yamen, the county government of Wenxiang County, Beiyi, four northeast districts were built
The left people are like the southwest to build the southwest six districts, the right to work like the northwest to build the northwest six districts, the northwest-northeast-southwest-southeast four elephants are separated into a cross main street, and there are shops on both sides of the street that can open recipes - butcher shops - medicine shops - gold and silver shops - blacksmith shops - clothing shops - carpenter shops - stonemason shops - tanners shops - rice shops - pawn shops - tea shops - grocery stores - warehouses - antique shops - incense and candle shops - inns - restaurants - theaters - music shops - bookstores and chess games, etc
Poor Dao said that Alan County is like my child, but it is not an empty word, in the future, Alan County will have more people, and it can be expanded horizontally, vertically or even diagonally, and if necessary, it can also build a stone wall on the periphery of the county to resist foreign enemies, which will also respond to eight rises and eight changes
The people present were all surprised after listening to Guanshan's words, if Guanshan said how much silver would it cost to build Alan County, I didn't expect Guanshan to have such a talent, Li Yang calculated that according to 3 feet for one meter, each household covers an area of 130 square meters, 80 square meters, and the remaining 50 square meters are yards, "good-very good", and the various prosperous scenes of Alan County in the future have emerged in his mind
Li Yang patted his hands on the table lightly: Let's build Alan County according to this sketch, and put the rest aside first, and the top priority is to build 2,000 winter houses and the county government yamen
Li Song looked at the sketch: Boss, if we really build Alan County according to this sketch, do you have to inform Lord Sun, after all, after the construction of Alan County, the official family will send the county department to govern it
Li Yang thought for a while, "Well, I just want to go to Taizhou City, Li Song is waiting for you to go to the brick kiln, let Ouyang seniors forge some more shovels and iron pickaxes in the past few days, once the construction begins, these tools are indispensable
Li Song responded, "Well: I'll go to the forging workshop after lunch."
Li Yang looked at everyone: Let's go back early today to rest, the big guys will be busy for a while starting tomorrow
After Li Yang sent Gao Lin-Yuanhong and others away, he rode his horse to the Taizhou City Prison, and the eight officials stood in two rows with steel knives on their waists to guard the prison door, Li Yang got off the horse and tied the horse to a willow tree, walked to the prison door and clasped his hands into fists to salute the officials: You are bothering you to make it convenient, let me go in to meet those people in Maple Village
The head of the official team looked at Li Yang carefully: It turned out to be you, didn't you just come the day before yesterday, why did you come here again today
Li Yang smiled, "Oh, it was Lord Sun who asked me to ask them something."
The head of the official team didn't ask much when he heard this, and raised his hand and waved it into the prison: "It's not too long."
Li Yang nodded to the head of the squad and walked towards the prison, Hengqi held the guardrail with both hands and put his head on the guardrail, and he saw Li Yang from a distance: Brother, today is the deadline, if we people have to die, I beg you to save my sister
Li Yang glanced into the cell after entering, Heng Yan leaned against the wall and held her knees with both hands and pillowed her head on her knees, her face was full of tears and looked a little lost, and she turned her head to look at Hengqi: Uncle, you can't die, the document of amnesty should be in Taizhou immediately, and you will be wronged for a few hours
Heng Qi was surprised and stretched out his hand to grab Li Yang: Is this true, you won't be teasing me
Li Yang nodded slightly: Really I didn't lie to you, I came back to Taizhou to tell you about it
Heng Qi turned around excitedly and helped Heng Yan up, hugged him in his arms, and the brother and sister cried loudly, "Woo-woo": God has eyes, brothers, we don't have to die
Kang Ze and Zeno Yu Wenji and the others cheered
Li Yang looked at Heng Yan in the prison: Madam, when the amnesty document arrives, I will pick you up, and I will go to the yamen of the state capital first
Seeing that Li Yang was about to turn around and leave, Heng Yan shouted softly: "Husband, I'm waiting for you to pick me up."
After coming out of the prison, Li Yang rode a horse to the yamen of the state capital, and the officials came more often than they could, and this time they went in to report without asking much, and after waiting for a while, the officials walked out of the yamen: Master Sun asked you to come in with me
When he arrived in the inner hall, Sun Yuanwu was holding a "Taizhou account book" in his hand, calculating how much this year's taxes could be collected, Li Yang hugged his fists and bowed: His subordinates have seen Master Sun
Sun Yuanwu glanced up: Oh, you're here, there are no outsiders, you can find a place to sit by yourself
Li Yang responded: Mr. Xie
He sat down on a chair next to him: Your Excellency has come today because you want to ask your lord for advice
Sun Yuanwu raised his eyebrows: Say something
Li Yang said respectfully: When the adults were attacked, Alan Village, Gotu Village, and Geshe Village were all attacked by the Haikou, and many houses were burned down in two months before the winter, and his subordinates wanted to build the three villages into Alan County before the winter
After hearing this, Sun Yuanwu raised his hand and twisted his beard, if there is one more county under the rule of Taizhou Mansion, then the tax can be more every year, which is a good thing, and it is also a political achievement for this government, and how the people spend the winter is indeed a problem, and so on, I have to ask him if he can't follow his way: Then you tell me about Alan County that you want to build
Li Yang responded: There are 4,300 people in the three villages of adults, and it is expected that 2,000 winter houses and the county government yamen will be built before the winter, and there will be a cross main street in the newly built Alan County, and there are shops on both sides of the street to open medical halls and restaurants, etc., and the 2,000 houses are divided into 20 districts, each district will share thatched houses and public wells, and next year will build a large school yard, a grain depot, a warehouse, etc
After Sun Yuanwu heard this, he calculated in his heart how much it would cost to build such a county, how much money the Li family in Alan Village would have, and how could they feel that their money seemed to be unable to be spent: Is there anything in this mansion that can help you
Li Yang thought for a while: This is not true, my subordinates just think that I should consult the adults about this matter first, if you don't agree, then the subordinates will not build the county government yamen
This time Sun Yuanwu was completely surprised, now even if the Taizhou government wants to build a county, it is not to say that it will be built, and your kid is going to build a county with the strength of a family, I thought that I told me about this matter to ask the state government to give you some silver, but you don't need the help of the state government, so let your kid toss it first, and when Alan County is built, if it can't reach the scale of the county, it will not be impossible to become a town
Sun Yuanwu put away the account books: The construction of Alan County is also a good thing for Taizhou, and the government knows about it, and when the 2,000 houses are built, the government will send people to record these houses and issue the deed
Li Yang happily got up and saluted: His subordinates have thanked the adults
After finishing speaking, he sat on the chair again, Sun Yuanwu glanced at Li Yang with his spare eyes and asked suspiciously: Do you have anything else
Li Yang responded: The adults are in a bit of a hurry on the way down, and they want to rest here
Sun Yuanwu nodded lightly and didn't say anything, and Li Yang's eyes kept looking out of the mansion, why hasn't the document of amnesty been sent yet
In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, Li Yang was anxious and couldn't sit still and walk back and forth in the mansion, why was the person who delivered the amnesty document so slow, can it be delivered today
Sun Yuanwu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Li Yang's anxious appearance: Are you waiting for the amnesty document?
Li Yang looked surprised: Could it be that the amnesty document has been delivered
Sun Yuanwu shook his head helplessly, "You", picked up the amnesty document placed on the copy, and handed it over
Li Yangle ran over, stretched out his hands and took the amnesty document and read it: the amnesty document was delivered so quickly
Sun Yuanwu let out a smile: What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry to the prison to pick up your wife and them, you have been here for an afternoon and the government can't concentrate on sorting out government affairs
Li Yang smiled: My lord's subordinates will retire first
Sun Yuanwu raised his hand and waved it lightly, Li Yang turned around excitedly and ran towards the outside of the palace, and came to the Taizhou prison to hand over the amnesty document to the guards
Heng Yan walked out of the prison and saw Li Yang was waiting outside, at this time she could no longer hold back the excitement in her heart, and quickly stepped forward and plunged into my arms, Heng Yan hugged me tightly with both hands, put her head on my chest, and cried loudly, "woo-woo", and her right hand kept beating my chest
Li Yang hugged Heng Yan tightly with both hands: Madam-let's go home
After speaking, he helped Heng Yan on the horse and looked back at Heng Qi: Uncle, let's go
Hengqi raised his arms and shouted: Brothers, let's go
When it was dark, everyone returned to the Li family manor in Alan Village, and the villagers saw that so many strangers suddenly came to the village, and they surrounded them with curiosity, and some of them closed the door with fear
After entering the manor, he met Li Song, and he stretched out his head to look at Hengqi and the others who were following behind: Boss, they are those people from Maple Village
Li Yang nodded and looked at Hengqi: Uncle, this is my brother Li Song
The two clasped their fists at each other and nodded
Li Yang said softly: The second child sent a few people to boil water for them to take a good bath, don't forget to put more salt in the water, and after washing, first find a temporary place for them to deal with it for a few days
Li Song responded: They should be hungry too, so I'll let the room start a fire and cook by the way
Hengqi looked at Li Song: Then I'll go with you, and if there is anything we can do, you can tell me
After saying that, Li Song and Hengqi took the people from Maple Village to the backyard of the manor, Li Yang pulled Hengyan back to the small courtyard where he lived, Song Shiting saw Li Yang coming back in the yard and ran over excitedly, and when she saw Hengyan, she shouted "Ah" with a frightened face: Husband, be careful of the female bandit behind her
Li Yang stretched out his left hand and took Song Shiting's hand with an embarrassed face: Madam, don't be afraid, husband, I have something to tell you
Song Shiting looked puzzled: What is the matter with the husband
Li Yang took Heng Yan's hand with his right hand and looked at Song Shiting: Madam, we will be a family in the future, you are my eldest lady and she is my second wife
Song Shiting's aggrieved eyes burst into tears when she heard this, and she shook her hand and ran back to the room
Li Yang shouted softly outside the door: Madam, don't be angry, listen to me
Song Shiting cried and said: You have brought everyone back, what else is there to say, I don't want to hear what you explain, I just want to be alone and quiet
Li Yang shook his head helplessly, turned around and led Heng Yan to the house where he lived before his wedding, and before I could speak, Heng Yan walked into the house, and when I was about to enter the house there was a "bang", Heng Yan also closed the door with both hands
"Hey" this time, I'm completely locked out
There was indeed a "hahaha-hehe" laughter behind him, and Li Yang turned around to see that it was Gao Lin, Yuan Hongguanshan and others laughing loudly
Li Yang was a little unhappy, "Hey": You people are laughing at me there, right, brother, I'm like this, you can still laugh, even if you're all here, then sit down with me and have a drink
Li Daniu responded: Then I'll go to the warehouse and get wine
Li Yang asked softly: Why are you here when you are not at home to rest?
Li Long said softly: There are so many people in the manor suddenly, where do you still have the heart to rest
Li Yang sighed lightly: I can't enter this house tonight, let's go and see how Hengqi and them are, Erniu, you go to your brother and ask him to take a few more jars of wine to the backyard to find us
Li Erniu responded: Okay
Everyone came to the backyard of the manor, there were more than 100 large water tanks in the yard, the families poured the boiled water into the water tank, and then took out the salt bag from their waists and poured the salt into the water tank
Li Song walked over: There are so many people in the boss manor suddenly, our quilts and clothes are not enough, and the weather is relatively cold at night, how can these people spend the night
Li Yang asked softly: Can the second child vacate a few more houses in the manor now?
Li Song thought for a moment: the boss can vacate 4 rooms at most, and I will ask people to move everything out of the warehouse once I go, and now we still have many people living in makeshift tents
Li Yang looked at Hengqi with a hint of apology on his face: Uncle let the brothers deal with it for one night first, and these rooms will be lived in by the brothers who are not in good health
Hengqi watched his brothers all take a bath there excitedly: although it can't shelter from the wind and rain here, it is a hundred times stronger than in the prison
Li Song said softly: "Boss, I'll give them my quilt and clothes first."
Li Yang nodded: Tell the second child and our clansmen and soldiers, first take out the more clothes at home to help, and when Alan County is completed, we will return it to the new one
Gao Lin responded: Then I'll go talk to the people and see if I can bring some clothes
Yuan Hong clapped his hand on Gao Lin and looked at Li Yang: Then I will also go and talk to the clansmen
Li Yang clasped his fists and said respectfully: Then there are two brothers, even if there is not enough quilt and clothes, they can be covered on their bodies
Li Song's eyes were clear: There is still some lime powder in the boss's warehouse, and I will ask someone to scatter this lime powder on the ground once I go
Hengqi asked with some doubts: Why do you want to sprinkle lime powder on the ground?
Li Yang said softly: Uncle brother has more mosquitoes at night, and sprinkling lime powder can prevent mosquito bites and kill many germs
Hengqi and Li Song looked surprised: What is the germ, why have I never heard of it, what does this insect look like
Li Yang laughed out loud: Uncle, this bacterium is a kind of insect that can cause diseases, and it grows very small and is difficult to see with your eyes
After hearing this, Hengqi nodded his head, "Oh"
Li Da Niu and Li Erniu came over with a wooden cart full of wine: Young master, this is 30 jars of wine, if it is not enough, we will go and get it
Li Yang looked at Hengqi: Uncle, these drinks warm up the brothers at night
Hengqi walked to the wooden cart and stretched out his hand to tear the seal on the wine jar, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath of "ah": Good wine-good wine, with these brothers, there is no need for quilts and clothes
After finishing speaking, he slapped his hand on Li Yang's shoulder: Brother, let's have a good drink tonight
Li Song looked towards the room: The boss's meal should be about to be ready, I'll take a look
Li Yang shouted softly: Second brother, you are boiling some water, let Xiaozhuang and Xiaozhou sisters send it to the second lady, and they are taking a clean dress and rouge to send it over
Li Song asked softly: Boss, why don't you go by yourself
Li Yang's eyes frowned: If I go to Song Shiting, can I still coax it well
Li Song raised his hand to cover his mouth and snickered: Boss, I know
Jiang Yu held a weed in his mouth, and lay on the beam of the house with Erlang's legs swaying, with his long sword beside him
Li Yang came to the eaves and shouted: Jiang Yu-Jiang Yu
Jiang Yu closed his eyes: Say, I can hear it
Li Yangshen whispered mysteriously: You pay more attention at night
Jiang Yu turned his body: Don't copy this heart
Li Long and Li Hu came over: Young master, we are two brothers, and we will take two hundred people to garrison outside the village just in case
Li Yang nodded slightly: Okay, you can bring more people
