Sections 709, 710 Your Majesty, as expected of the true emperor!(1/2)
As soon as Li Luo picked up this design drawing, his whole body became excited.
This man likes to do such things!
Yet, he is designing a great city. This city will become a famous city for all ages under the will of him and Cui Xiuning.
It's a lot of sense of accomplishment when you think about it.
Li Luo's Chang'an City is about the same size as Chang'an City in the former Tang Dynasty, but it is not a square, but a square.
The entire Chang'an City is a big city and a small city, with Huizi and Hui characters. The outermost part is of course the outer city, the middle is the imperial city, and the center is the palace city.
The palace city is also square, Daming Palace, Tai Chi Palace, and Xingqing Palace. The three inner parts are in the shape of a Pin character. The entire palace city is seven miles wide, with a circumference of twenty-eight miles, covering an area of more than ten square kilometers, which is more than ten times larger than the small-sized Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and even larger than the three inner parts of the former Tang Dynasty.
Li Luo's three majors are similar to those in the former Tang Dynasty. We refer to a lot of information from the former Tang Dynasty, but more are different. For example, it is Xingqing Palace, and Li Luo's Xingqing Palace is a palace group where the prince and underage princess live.
There are four palace gates in the palace city: Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Qinglong and White Tiger. The Vermilion Bird Gate facing south is the main gate.
In addition to the three palaces and pavilions of more than 100 halls and pavilions, there are also Imperial Flower Garden, Taiye Pool Field, Cuju Field, swimming pool, Grand Theater, Palace Music Court, Observatory, Imperial Stable, Palace People's Court, Sixteen Government Offices, Palace Street, Imperial Academy, Neiku, Arsenal, Guard Office, and Shiqu Pavilion, which collects ancient books, etc.
Within the three great powers, the emperor and the empress live in the Daming Palace, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager live in the Tai Chi Palace, and the Prince lives in the Xingqing Palace, and the Xingqing Palace is the East Palace.
The largest, most core, and most important is of course the Daming Palace where the emperor and the empress are located. The Daming Palace is built on the Longshouyuan, the ruins of the Daming Palace in the former Tang Dynasty, where it is the highest place in Chang'an.
The Daming Palace has nine palace gates, which are located at the northernmost part of the palace city. The building complex consists of three main halls, five small halls, and dozens of other halls, pavilions, platforms and pavilions. Basically, it is the restoration project of the palace of the former Tang Dynasty.
The three main halls are Hanyuan Hall, Xuanzheng Hall, and Zichen Hall. The functions are similar to those of the former Tang Dynasty, and they are all used to hold ceremonies and major ceremonies. In front of Hanyuan Hall is the huge Danfeng Square and the Dragon Tail where all officials enter the palace.
Xuanzheng Hall was the place where Li Luo held the Changgong. There were nine government offices on both sides, namely the Military Affairs Office, the Political Affairs Hall, the Hanlin Academy, the Records Department, the Censorate, the Inner Government, the Guards Department, the Imperial Hospital, and the Imperial Hospital. Other government offices in the outer courts were all outside the palace.
Zichen Palace is where Li Luo handles daily official duties, convenes a meeting of the imperial court, and summons the ministers.
After the three main halls, there is the bedroom where the emperor and the empress live. It is not Feishuang Hall, but it is changed to Qiankun Hall, and the palace of the empress is not separated.
Behind the Qiankun Palace, the palace where the concubines live, mostly other palaces. Although the bedroom belongs to the Daming Palace, it is actually strictly independent from the three halls and is highly vigilant.
The second largest is the Tai Chi Palace. The Tai Chi Palace also has nine gates, which is also the restoration project of the Tai Chi Palace in the former Tang Dynasty. There are also three halls. Except for the Tai Shang Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Concubine, all the concubines of the former emperor lived in the Tai Chi Palace. Obviously, this function is different from the Tai Chi Palace in the former Tang Dynasty.
The smallest Xingqing Palace is also the restoration project of the Xingqing Palace in the former Tang Dynasty. It is also divided into the East Palace and the other halls where the princes and daughters live. Among them, the East Palace is relatively independent, and the other halls of the princes and daughters are also independent.
However, if the prince is fifteen years old, he must leave the Da Nei and live outside the palace or in the fiefdom. The princess can live until they get married. Moreover, the princess returns to the palace and returns to the palace, and any place where they can live.
Although all of these three elements are in the palace city, they have their own palace walls, which are relatively independent.
The three main characters are in the shape of a pin character, surrounding the Taiye Pond and the Yuhuayuan Scenic Area, which covers an area of three miles. General Taiye Pond has built water buildings such as Mingyue Hall and Penglai Pavilion. General Yuhuayuan has planted strange flowers and plants, bamboo, wood, vines, and free birds and beasts, and also built thatched cottage pavilions.
There are five underground drainage ditches in the palace city, which discharge the sewage from the palace to the east gorge in the city.
Donggou not only stores rainwater and domestic sewage from the palace, but also stores rainwater and domestic sewage from the entire Dongcheng City of Chang'an. Then, the sewage from Donggou will flow directly along the ditches to the reservoir in the farmland for farmers to use for irrigation.
Beigou, Nangou and Xigou also assume corresponding functions, discharging rainwater and sewage, and irrigating farmland in the suburbs outside the city, killing two birds with one stone.
The imperial city outside the palace city is eleven miles wide. There are eight gates of the imperial city, two on each side.
In the imperial city are several great Dao Palaces, the Tang Dynasty Academy, the Medical Academy, the Tianshi Mansion, the Zhendao Palace, the Taimiao, the Temple of Heaven, the Nine Divisions and Twelve Divisions (Shim), the Tang Dynasty Bank Headquarters, the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, the National Treasury, the Arsenal, the Imperial Guard Camp, the Royal Palace, the Palace of the Fifth-rank or above, etc.
Although the Imperial City is not a place where ordinary people live, there are also streets called Imperial City Commercial Street, which are divided into four shopping streets, southeast, west and northeast, but are operated by officials and businessmen in the monopoly department, and are state-owned businesses and their income belongs to the national treasury.
Outside the imperial city is the outer city.
The outer city occupies most of the entire Chang'an City and is lived by officials below the fifth rank and ordinary people.
Like Chang'an City in the former Tang Dynasty, the outer city also had fangs. However, Li Luo's fangs were very different from those in the Tang Dynasty, and the planning of living areas and commercial areas was more scientific and reasonable.
Li Luo’s house is actually a community in later generations.

Li Luo planned to divide Chang'an City into four urban counties: Chang'an, Wannian, Prosperous, and Taiping, each divided into southeast, southwest and northwest.
The roads in the city are divided into three levels: heaven, street and fang road.
There are four ways of heaven, which are tic-tac-shaped, and are as wide as seven zhang per day, and a pair of lamp stands are set up every ten zhang. The four ways of heaven are set up a total of two thousand lamp stands, which consume more than a thousand kilograms of fuel every night.
With this, there must be hundreds of fire water dragon vehicles, patrolling the whole city every night to prevent fires. There must be hundreds of police officers patrolling the night market every night.
The streets are in the shape of mouth, surrounding the imperial city and the outer city. Each yard is arranged with the street as the central axis and is arranged relatively. Each yard has a wall. When you go out, you are the street, and shops are on both sides of the street.
On both sides of the heaven and the street, flowers, plants and trees must be planted, sidewalks and chariots and horse paths must be planned.
Every county must have a city office to manage cleanliness and environmentally friendly, manage manure and process manure.
In addition to the shops and buildings on both sides of the shopping street, four department stores in the southeast, west and northeast are also built to operate comprehensive department stores such as clothing, cloth, fur, jewelry, stationery, books, food, carriages, and horses, and attract investment for private operations, forming four major commercial centers in the East City, the West City, the South City and the North City.
Each yard also needs to build a school, a Cuju field, and a fire water pool. Each county needs to build a public library, a polo court, a park, a Ci'en Courtyard, a copper gui report center, and a theater. It also needs to be equipped with a fire water dragon truck.
There must also be a barracks of imperial guards that accommodate tens of thousands of troops to defend the nine gates of the capital.
The streets also need to set up lampstands to lighting, and two thousand lampstands are also required. The heavenly road plus the street lighting fee will cost 100,000 silver dollars a year. However, in the future, under the illumination of thousands of lampstands, it will become a city that never sleeps. The increased commercial taxes are enough to offset the lighting fee.
Fangdao is the road between each house. Although Fang (community) has walls, it is not closed and can be circulated between each other. However, from one house to another, it must be registered, just like high-end communities with stricter management in later generations.
This is of course for public security and management needs.
Chang'an City is a super metropolis with a population of more than one million in the future. Therefore, the residential buildings in each yard must be built with a two-story loft as the main building, and must also adopt the quadrangle model to save the yard and prevent the people from enjoying a single yard with a single door and a single family.
There is another advantage in this design. Several families live in the courtyard model and can supervise each other. Once someone commits crimes, has committed crimes, has something to be detrimental, or has a foreign population, it is easy to be discovered and difficult to conceal.
Another advantage is that it can make the neighbors closer.
In this way, the market is densely populated and not closed, which is also conducive to management.
However, considering the differences in the wealth of residents, the courtyard houses are divided into three levels according to their size and luxury. Rich merchants can buy a complete set or buy the city vacant land auctioned by the government and build it themselves, but the area is limited.
Each yard also has underground sewage drainage ditches, arranged like centipede feet. Each courtyard has a sewage drainage opening, built in a low position in the yard. When it rains, water flows into the ditches.
Li Luo and Cui Xiuning's plan was too big and too regular. They planned to develop an ancient real estate development and build 40,000 courtyards to meet the living needs of a million people.
In this way, the drainage and sewage channels alone are thousands of miles long. Even if the average cross-sectional area of half a square meter per channel needs two thousand people to repair for a year.
Forty thousand courtyards, it takes 100,000 people to build one year.
In addition to the construction of palaces and city walls, government offices, etc., as well as logging, burning bricks, quarrying, etc., it will take 500,000 yuan to be built within two years!
The completed Chang'an City in this way will become an unprecedented "city of sky".
Li Luo wanted to leave this Chang'an City to future generations as the greatest architectural heritage, shining for thousands of years.
However, all the prisoners and slaves in the Tang State are only more than 300,000 now.
They also have to eat, and their physical work is consumed a lot. Even if they don’t have wages, they will have to spend three million stones of grain in two years, equivalent to three million yuan in silver dollars.
The 200,000 people hired also have wages in addition to eating.
This calculation is another several million yuan.
Even with hundreds of thousands of slaves and prisoners, this project still requires tens of millions of silver dollars.
But don’t forget that this is real estate development. In addition to compensating 200,000 Changan people, there are at least 30,000 units and 120,000 households left. Each private house can be sold for 50 yuan, and six million or even more can be recovered.
Li Luo won't lose money.
The Great Wall City is a wooden and stone building. Only bricks, tiles, wood and stone are used as building materials, and no cement is used.
Because, the production of modern cement is too difficult and is far from that simple. Not to mention Li Luo or Cui Xiuning can do anything about it.
Not to mention the others, the 1600-degree high-temperature boiler can only be considered. The maximum temperature that the two have created at present, which is 1300 degrees, is already very awesome and can't be higher. It's a few hundred degrees apart, so what can I do?
It also needs to crush the machine to grind the hard materials of limestone and iron ore into flour.
Therefore, Li Luo really thinks that it is outrageous for the time travelers in the novel to create cement every time.
You can create a high temperature of 1600 degrees first.
No?
Then you make cement? Isn’t it?
OK, even if you have the ability to get a furnace temperature of 1,600 degrees, what about the crusher? Use manual crushing iron ore to powder?
Even if the powder process meets the requirements, how many people do you need to do this? Then how scary is the cost of the things you burn?
So what about using original cement?
Not even possible.
The original cement is not real cement at all, and its effect is not as good as glutinous rice water and lime.
Li Luo withdrew his thoughts and wrote and painted on paper to be considered as completing the draft.
But the man soon became in trouble.
Which big architect should I find to preside over the leadership?
Liu Bingzhong? He died long ago.
Who else can?
Li Luo vaguely remembered that there was a very powerful ancient architect in the Yuanchu period. He seemed to have a surname Zhang, but he couldn't remember who it was.
This matter can only be handed over to the Special Inspection Bureau. What Li Luo didn't know was that the great architect Zhang Zhichun had been "invited" by the Special Inspection Bureau and was on the way to Guanzhong.
Li Luo put away the drawings with satisfaction and looked forward to it, as if he saw a beautiful and beautiful city full of the classical beauty of China, rising from the ground.
It was a more glorious and civilized city of heaven than Chang'an and Luoyang in the previous Tang Dynasty!
