10. Ziziying New Town

According to Mingxuan's plan, the walls west of Beizi City were repaired and directly integrated with Nanzi City. However, the length and width of Nanzi City were more than three times that of Beizi City. It was 400 steps wide from east to west (about 600 meters of modern times), and 220 steps long from north to south (about 330 meters of modern times). The public hall, patrol, house, and city god were established in the inner city, and grain cellars were prepared to be used to store grain, sauce, medicine, vegetables and other materials.

In addition, a large schoolyard was set up on the south side of Nanzi City, with a length and width of about 200 steps. A "teaching and testing pavilion" was built at the north end of the schoolyard, and ovations and plaques were set up in front of the pavilion for Gao Yue to test the shooting skills of the troops stationed in the camp.

On the south side of the schoolyard where the Jiaoxue Pavilion is located, Mingxuan suggested digging two ends of the canals from Jingchuan, one is located in the east of Zicheng and the other is located in the west of Zicheng, heading north and south, and then connecting across the south of the schoolyard, surrounding the two sub-cities to form a "Hui-shaped" canal, named "Furong Canal", together with the city wall, forming a double barrier, which not only provides protection for the Zicheng, but also provides water and sewage channels for the entire city.

At the same time, in addition to the city wall south of the schoolyard, there are also three city gates, among which the bridge is built outside the main gate and spanning the Furong Canal, just as the long street of the outer city.

According to what Gao Yue said to Wei Gao before, Guo Cheng was to "integrate military and city". He asked the east and west markets and residences on both sides of the long street, and used military camps and camps, and You Yi's office was sandwiched from left to right. In this way, the markets and residences were completely placed under the protection of the military camps, which would make business travelers and the people feel at ease.

At the same time, the troops who came to chase during the slack season could easily go directly to the wooden bridges on the left and right of Nanzicheng from the east and west camps, enter the teaching test pavilion and schoolyard from the side door, and receive the archery examination test.

"The mage's city map is indeed exquisite!" Gao Yue praised it after reading Mingxuan's plan.

It was soon done. The first thing the three or four thousand camps of land soldiers had to do was to build a hundred-mile new city.

"Gao Shiyu, the walls of the military city should be dense rather than thick." Then Ming Xuan suggested that he told Gao Yue that when Helian Bobo built Tongwan City, he adopted the method of ramming earth. Although it was no different from the cities in the Central Plains, Helian Bobo severely punished and required that the number of rammed earth must be large, and it was built with gray-white "three-mix soil". Therefore, a hundred years later, Li Daoyuan saw Tongwan City, especially said that "the stilt was long and the wall was as high as new." In addition, it is said that Fenglin City in Yanzhou was also built by Helian Bobo, so it was also called "Helian City". When Shen Kuo went to inspect in the Northern Song Dynasty, he praised it and said that the city wall was "tight as stone, and when it was cut, it was fired." He also said that his city defense was still alive.

"It's not very thick, but the horse face (a high platform that protrudes every other section of the ancient Chinese city wall, used to set up long-range fire buildings and form cross-defense firepower) is extremely long and dense," lamenting, "Helian City can be deeply imitated by (imitation)!" - Helian Bobo was a man from the end of the fourth and early fifth centuries. His rammed earth city building method could make Shen Kuo, a great scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, admired Shen Kuo, a great scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, our Song Dynasty was the peak of ancient Chinese science and technology culture, and the chicken land occupied 80% of the world. The combination of the divine arm bow, heavy armor infantry, and fortresses was the ultimate flow of ancient defense tactics. He even had to imitate the city building method of barbarians seven hundred years ago. This shows that my Song Dynasty was humble and studious, and I was extremely terrified in thinking carefully.

Around the old city of Baili of Jingchuan, thick fog soon rolled, filling the sky: the soldiers who built the city set up camp tents, cut weeds as fuel, dig out clay and sand from the river, and burned a large amount of lime, mix quicklime and water, and applied a lot of hot smoke, like clouds and fog steaming. This is what is called "steamed soil". Gao Yue and many soldiers worked together to do it themselves. Many people took off their legs under the sun and covered their heads, simply wore a calf nose, and even made three-combined soil with naked lower body. After the quicklime was turned into ripe lime, it expanded rapidly, and the sand and clay were extremely squeezed, turning it into one version of hard three-combined soil, layer by layer, and built into the walls of the city walls. This is multiple layers of rammed earth to pursue the tightness of the city wall...

With the sound of Lang Wei's horns, the "Furong Canal" was first dug out, and then the old city was reinforced by flip-flops, and was born for "Beizi City", and then the city walls were built one after another, and the size of "Nanzi City" was enclosed.

During this period, Gao Yue took off his head and bare his head. With the help of Wei Tuotian, he always ate and slept with the children of Yingtian and worked together. The households who traveled in Yuanzhou were also sacked to assist in cooking: Yingcheng envoy and county magistrate led the way, and the soldiers were encouraging. In addition, county officials were elected in advance and the garrison officials were in charge, and the logistics supply of the military prefecture was also in place (especially Fengxiang Mansion where Zhu Li was located). Therefore, the division of labor was clear and construction was built in sections, and the progress was very smooth. Even Gao Shiyu was tanned again. If Yun Shao saw it, he would be very distressed again.

As for Zhihui, he was left in Jingzhou City with Shuangwen. He did not come to the city building site. He held the third brother and Xue Lianshi's hand and waited for the arrival of the Beijing caravan.

More than twenty days later, Gao Yue put his waist on his waist and watched with his own eyes the construction of the main city gate of Nanzicheng: two city walls, east and west, left the Quekou. Then the soldiers laid stone foundations on both sides of the Quekou, and then erected pillars on it. After the pillars were upright, they set up beams on it, put slabs on the beams, and built a tower on it. Soon a city gate tower was formed.

The two connected sub-cities and canals in Baili New City are thick and shaped. At the same time, the caravan arranged by Duzhi also appeared under Jingzhou City!

They sent all the inexpensive materials needed to build a large thoroughfare and a residence in Bailicheng, and opened up military farms.

In the neighborhood outside Jingzhou City, Zhihui had a cunning look and traded privately with Chang'an merchants who came here, giving them a few pictures to exchange. The family wealth of the third brother and the refiner, while the merchants paid for silk, silk or gold and silver. After they returned to Chang'an City, they could exchange these and then go to the cabinet for money.

What does Zhihui want to use this money?

Of course, I was buying land and residence in Wonju Tour...

Because the land price here is much cheaper than that in Chang'an area! The residences are all set up in white land, and the fields are there? Where is the fields? They are still wasteland.

Zhihui hired two calf cars and, under the protection of several military officials, sent all the money he had received to the Confucius Courtyard of the military government.

The room here is still given to Gao Yue. After all, he is still an official under Jingyuan and should have a house in Jingzhou City.

"My sister Zhihui, are Yisong and Fangzhai back?" After Zhihui settled down, Shuangwen came to visit from the next room and asked her.

Zhihui shook her head and said with some complaints, "Aunt Shuangwen, you were in the fifth room of Shengdaofang before, and I didn't know my third brother. He was desperate to do something when he encountered it. "In my opinion, he would not come back until all the military farm boundary monuments are erected and all the documents are erected, and he would not come back--No, he would not come back even if he had erected and built it. He would definitely take us to Baili New City."
