Everyone had a meeting in the Chinese army's tent. Shen Mingzhu said: "You know better than us what kind of city we should build. I just put forward some of my own opinions for you to participate."
As she spoke, she took out a notebook she had written and handed it to Mo Ruhui.
She continued: "My first suggestion is to build the city on a slightly higher ground. You can adapt to local conditions and arrange the city walls and buildings inside according to the topography. The second suggestion is that there must be very smooth drainage.
Facilities. Drainage facilities are not all for drainage. In Daobei, there are more drought years than flood years. So we must take measures to prevent drought in advance and store more water so that it can be used in drought years.
Come and irrigate.”
The water storage in the city can at least ensure that the residents and fields in the city have sufficient water needs.
The city Shen Mingzhu requested to build not only contained houses for residents, but also enclosed a large portion of fields.
The use of this part of the land can be allocated according to needs. As the population increases, houses can be planned and built for living. When the population is not satisfied, it can be used as private land in the city to support officials and support orphans, etc.
It is of great use.
In addition, the city is also divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is where government offices, temples, schools, shops, and people live. The outer city is mainly fields and some gardens. When the inner city is full, new residents can also come.
Develop toward outer cities.
A palace will be built in the middle of the inner city, and it will still be the Palace of Prince Yan.
Because King Yan was a title given by the late emperor and had nothing to do with the current emperor, Xiao Xian had no objection to the late emperor, so he still wanted to respect the late emperor and did not change it.
Everyone has some different opinions on the construction of the palace. Mo Ruhui thinks that although it is a palace, it should be built like a palace, with palace gates, main halls, ceremonial gates, meeting halls, etc., divided into at least three roads, left, middle and right, and then divided into
There are two layouts: front hall and back bedroom.
The front hall is mainly used for office work, worship and reception of guests, etc., while the backyard is where the female family members live.
Although the layout is similar to the previous palaces, the area is larger than several previous palaces. It can be said to be a small palace.
For a palace that does not have three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and not so many eunuchs and maids, this palace is already very large.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian disagreed, and Mo Ruhui and others tried hard to persuade them many times. The two of them just said, "A big house is enough. What kind of palace should we build? It will waste people and money, and we are not proclaiming kings or emperors."
But everyone else felt that even if they didn't call themselves kings and emperors, it was still a symbol of power and they should be built in a more grand style. Especially Shen Can. After looking around, he felt that Daobei's Feng Shui was very good and very suitable for it.
Everyone thought that this was a capital city, so naturally a palace would be built.
The only drawback is that it seems a bit cold. If you go further south, you can have more distinct seasons and avoid wearing big clothes for one-third of the year.
However, the matters decided by Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu were not so easy to persuade others. No matter how long-winded they were, Xiao Xian said: "We will talk about the palace later. Building the first city now also requires experience."
