1.7 Construction of Licheng
It is also very important to supervise the construction of Licheng. Fortunately, I have experience in building Lou Sang. All the materials are uniform in size to form modules. With the assistance of cattle, horses, animal power and construction machinery, the construction speed is extremely fast.
The process is roughly like this:
Niu Ma first transported the material modules (including bricks, stones, tiles, wood, chalk, etc.) to the site. The foundation was compacted, tower cranes and scaffolding were set up. The house was built and surrounded by walls. There was enough manpower and it would be completed soon.
Especially the emergence of tower cranes suddenly solved the problem of high-altitude handling of materials when building buildings. The craftsmen only need to focus on construction and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
It is possible to build a three-story heavy building like building blocks. The most important thing is to use the building module. Of course, another disadvantage that comes with it is that the heavy building built is the same. It is okay. After all the households and people move in, they will transform themselves according to actual needs. In just two or three years, they will be like a building in various shapes.
This is called the various aspects of people's livelihood.
Licheng spans Litinggou and is the southwest gateway to Liu Bei's fief. Therefore, walls are built.
All dynasties regarded building cities and capitals as "a major event of the country". There was a detailed system. The same is true nowadays. In order to make "small should not be arrogant or lowly", the system often stipulates: "There is a system of clothes, the palaces should be regulated, the number of people should be moved, and the use of funerals and sacrifices is also suitable (same ritual)."
When building cities, you must also abide by the "king system". Generally speaking, the area of the city walls, the height of the city walls, the number of gates, the types of buildings in the city, the market location, the width and narrow roads, etc., are almost all regulations and must not be crossed without authorization.
"Book of Han: Biography of Jia Yi": "The respect of a man is like a hall, the ministers are like your ministers, and the common people are like the land. Therefore, if you are above the nine levels, if you are in good condition, the hall will be high; if you are in bad condition, the hall will be low; if you are in bad condition, the hall will be low; if you are in good condition, the hall will be low; if you are in good condition, the hall will be low; if you are in good condition, the high condition is difficult to reach, and the humble one is Yiling (Ling, which is a steward), and the principles are reasonable. Therefore, in ancient times, the sage kings were in the same order, including the sages and ministers, the ministers and officials, and the officials, the officials and officials, and the ranks are clear, and the emperor adds them, so the honor is unattainable." Jia Yi used the hall, the land, the integrity, and the ranks should be established to establish ranks. It also shows that there were strict hierarchical regulations for the construction of cities in the Han Dynasty.
This is true for the capital of the country, counties, counties, roads, and towns.
The size of the city walls, the height of the city walls, and the number of city gates at all levels are specified.
"The city of the emperor is nine ren high, the Duke and Marquis are seven ren high, the Bo is five ren high, and the son is three ren high." "Kaogong Ji": "The craftsman is in the country, nine miles away, and three gates next to the three gates." refers to the king capital. The king capital faces the three gates, and is strictly abided by it in the Han Dynasty. "The Fu of Xijing": "Three gates are opened next to it, and three gates are scattered." "Three gates are opened on one side, and three gates are the three gates."
The capitals of the princes are usually one side and two gates.
The width of the city wall is also stipulated. The city of the princes is only three meters wide.
In addition, there are also regulations regarding Mingtang, Biyong (the water outside Mingtang is called 'Piyong'). "The Suburb Sacrifice Records": "The emperor called Mingtang Biyong, and the princes were called patriarchs." "Pan's words are half." That is, the princes were only half the size built by the emperor. "Baihutong": "The emperor's altar is five feet in size, and the princes' altar is half the altar of the emperor." This is also the meaning.
"Beginners: Articles on the Residence of the Ministry of Houses": "The house is also a first place (house), which means that there is a order of A and B. One is said that those who go out cannot go out of the inner door and face the great way are called "Title". Even though the title is listed as a marquis, the fief of less than ten thousand households is not allowed to be a first place. If the house is in the inner door, it is not called "Title". This is the provision of "Title".
Of course, although the regulations are strict, the situation of over-the-counterfeiting still exists. "Han Shu·Food Records": "The royal family has land, and the ministers and officials are fighting for luxury, and the houses, huts, cars and clothes are usurping the superiors." In addition, the royal family is becoming increasingly luxurious, and the princes are competing to imitate. There are also many over-the-counterfeiting in the construction of city walls. For example, "The King Xiao built the East Garden, which is more than 300 miles in the area, and the city of Suiyang is 70 miles long, and the palace is built to restore the road. It is more than 30 miles long. It is given a flag of the emperor, and it is thousands of riders and a cavalry. It is a policeman. People speak loudly, and it looks like the emperor."
Of course, there is no need for Liu Bei to compare with King Xiao of Liang.
Everything is built according to regulations and try to follow the lower limit.
It can open two doors, only one door is opened. The rammed earth is built, and bricks are wrapped inside and outside. The thickness is within three meters. The corner tower, the ridge tower, the wall, the urn city, the arrow tower, the bed crossbow, etc. are all available. The Liting Valley water is then led to a moat. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are also assigned to protect the troops, which can ensure peace in the western region.
Of course, this is just a design plan that exists on the drawing board. It takes a lot of time to implement it in detail.
He was also afraid of quick success and instant benefits, so he caused many accidents. Liu Bei ordered Su Bo not to be impatient, and not to extend his working hours and deduct wages. Fortunately, the newly recruited labor force was enough skilled workers to help him. No major casualties occurred. Bumps and bumps were inevitable. Send him to give him a decoction of a good doctor, and he would be cured soon.
Eat and work together, so that the relationship between the Huai Si men and the local people became increasingly harmonious. After marriage, they would become a family within a few generations.
Liu Bei has never been so busy. He didn't know that there were three meals a day, and there were chimes and drums bells and drums beside him, dancing gracefully. He was sitting and enjoying the joy of the king and prince.
If you don’t know the taste, that’s what you say. You sleep soundly. Once you get stuck in the bed, you will fall asleep. You will sleep deeply all night without dreams. Musicians and dancers also start practicing swordsmanship. Even the female doctor is not spared. It is called: strengthening the body.
The woman who came from the ban was quite polite and had a proper entry and exit, which showed the momentum of the Marquis' Mansion.
All the female doctors were well-informed. Liu Bei asked her to treat Gongsun. The result was similar to the female assassin. It was said that they would wait and see if the spirits were united, and their lives could be preserved. If they continued to split, they would never be reborn.
Liu Bei sighed.
As long as she is fine, everything will be fine.
In recent years, Liu Bei punished the thieves and quelled the rebellion, and his fief increased to make money every day. He accumulated a lot of money. Now he spent money like flowing water, but he could still support it. The first one was the Liting Ditch that started construction first. The re-reinforced Liting Ditch was paved with pebbles, slopes, embankments, and alfalfa was widely planted. The slopes on both sides of the embankment were planted for grass treatment, which was to extend the service life. The transplanted weeping willows were separated by the slopes, which was also used to cultivate soil and consolidate the dike.
Every other mile, there is a bridge flying frame. A building is built on the bridge, and there are soldiers guarding it. There are two bridges in front and behind the Liting Ditch, with sluices under it. When ships enter the port, they need to open the gate and release them. They are all giant waterways. Boats can reach Lousang, and naturally they can reach Licheng.
Deliver goods, rice and grain. Everything is like a clear stream.
Most of the water siege between Litinggou and Dukanggou was converted into paddy fields. Before the seeds were planted, they were distributed to the people of Huai and Si. Together with the people in the town, they sorted out paddy fields, raised seedlings and prepared for plowing.
When the water level drops, Du Kang ditches and then open the canal to build a dike. The 100-mile Du Kang Daze will become a fertile land for hundreds of miles.
Liu Bei roughly calculated that he could get three million mu of fertile land. If the yield per mu could be five stones, he would get 15 million stones of rice a year. Based on the 70% of the rice, he could get 10 million stones of japonica rice.
During the Han Dynasty, the monthly rations of frontier soldiers were "three stones, three dou, three liters of millet."
"Book of Han: Biography of the Xiongnu" records that a strong man who does heavy work ate an average of 18 s of rice in three hundred days, six liters of rice a day, and less than twenty-two s of stone a year. Based on this calculation, 30,000 mu of fertile land can support more than 480,000 labor force. If the family, young, women and children are calculated, it can support a million people.
