Anyway, they were satisfied with what she asked for, so it was up to them to do whatever they wanted regarding Feng Shui.
Moreover, the city built according to Feng Shui is indeed beautiful in scenery, suitable for living, and looks very comfortable in appearance. It has mountains on its back and water on its side, hiding the wind and gathering energy, and is very harmonious.
This is also a good thing. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient people and should be supported.
In a blink of an eye, it’s time for spring farming.
Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu were reading some ancient books. Everyone was thinking about the name of the new city. After all, it couldn't be called Beicheng. Everyone felt that a new name was needed to commemorate this great city.
Because after this city is built, it will be larger than the capital of Qin Dynasty and will become the largest city in the world.
Even if it is not a capital city, it will become the transportation and economic center of the north in the future, because Shen Mingzhu has already planned to start building roads when the city takes shape.
All roads built must be compacted with loess, then covered with cinders and gravel, and all paved flat. The official roads must be divided into lanes like the wide roads in the city.
Each goes his own way, so that the carriage coming from the opposite direction will not hit him. If he does, he can also determine who is responsible, which is more conducive to handling conflicts.
The roads that will be built in the future will run through the north and south, connect the east and west, and extend in all directions, leading directly to the east and all the way to the seaside.
There is a wharf and port built by them on the seaside, and many overseas merchants will disembark from there in the future.
Shen Mingzhu, who has the manpower to build the road, has also thought about it. Now the country of Daqin is in chaos. The Yan Party is occupying land everywhere. The lives of the tenants are getting more and more difficult. Many people drag their families and their families to flee to the abandoned fields. Most of them will move around.
Arrive at Xincheng.
When the time comes, we can provide them with work-for-relief services and let them live in the new city.
Everything she builds must be nailed and riveted, and she will never make do. Since it is a city, it must protect the people from wind and rain, and resist nature and the disasters of war.
Moreover, as long as the people come, they will not be rejected. If one city is not enough, a new city can be built.
At the same time, there are also villages in the suburbs of cities. Most of the villages are tenants without fields, who make a living by farming for others. Since they have to work every day, it is naturally better to live near the fields.
This kind of demand will lead to the development of villages.
As long as the taxes are not heavy, even if the tenants have no land, they can live very comfortably just by cultivating land for others or for the palace.
It has only been a few months now, and people are coming and going in Daobei, creating a lively labor scene.
In order to support them in building the city, the Jin Kingdom also sent 100,000 prisoners to serve as coolies, and also provided many tents, stones and wood.
Because the Jin Kingdom has an endless mountain, which is rich in wood and stone suitable for building houses, they have an unlimited supply. In addition to sending their own people to deliver it, they also allow their own workers to mine and transport it.
In addition to the support of the Kingdom of Jin, Emperor Murong Chen of Xichen also provided a lot of help and sent many farmers to work for relief.
In fact, Murong Chen had two purposes. First, he wanted to solve some domestic conflicts and transfer the victims who had no land to Daobei. This would not only allow them to work for Shen Mingzhu, make Shen Mingzhu owe favors, but also allow the people to make money.
The second purpose of filling his stomach is that he can let those people see clearly how the new city is built, and it can be regarded as accumulating experience, so that he can learn from it in the future.
