Chapter 392 Beautiful Hongcun Ancient Wisdom

The spring examination in the Tang Dynasty took eight to nine days, because there were more than fifty imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty, and many people came to take the exam, so this was a very large project, and Yao Yi also participated in this imperial examination.

Because of Li Chengqian's affairs, Yao Yi directly reported the person, which was right for Li Shimin's appetite. Originally, Li You was going to submit a paper for Yao Yi, but Li Shimin directly wanted to read Yao Yi's answer.

There is no big problem with this. As long as Yao Yi answers well, the Pei family will not be able to be smart even if they are clever.

The spring examination unfolds in this kind of hot time.

At this time, it was time for Li You to go to Hyundai. Buying a burner is the top priority. And this time you can also buy some secondary technology items. Li You can buy some high-tech things to bring back.

For example, watches, Big Ben, lighters, matches, thermos, kerosene lamps... you can buy them or bring them back, but you won't bring too much of these things.

It’s not because Li You’s concern is that Li You mainly makes money, but because the things that Li You mainly make money, and the four treasures of glass-made study... They are extremely popular and are very expensive. Li You still has to buy them in large quantities. Some of the others are bought with them. I will try the market first and let the people of the Tang Dynasty taste it. The things that Li You bought from modern times cannot be sold on a large scale.

....................................

It was twelve o'clock at noon, and Li You stood in his warehouse No. 1, and there was no one around. Yaoyu had already strictly protected the warehouse No. 1 according to the order.

This time, Li You brought a lot of things.

These things were snatched from Yin Hongzhi's warehouse. They were basically gold, jade and jewelry, all from the Tang Dynasty, oh... By the way, there are still a few calligraphy and paintings. Li You didn't know who drew these calligraphy and paintings. Anyway, Li You was going to sell them.

Some people will definitely ask, the author... Why do you always have gold, jade and jewelry? There are no famous zodiac figurines in the Tang Dynasty. That thing is worth a lot of money... Hehe, the author has really thought about this zodiac figurine. It was probably in 1955 that a set of "twelve zodiac figurines" were unearthed in Chang'an, which was later in Xi'an. Then in 2009, another set of unearthed in Xi'an.

These two sets of "Twelve Zodiac figurines" make animals in the twelve zodiac figurines into human-body heads, and are carved lifelike, with hands closed or hidden in sleeves, so they all look very handsome. Although there is almost no big difference between the two sets of zodiac figurines, the similarity is very eye-catching, that is, their necks are very long.

This thing can be said to be worth tens of thousands of yuan. If you can get it and bring it back, you will definitely be sold for a large price, but this is risky, because this thing is a bright weapon, to put it bluntly, it is something that enters the tomb.

If Li You brought this out, it would be said that he was a tomb robber, which was illegal. However, Li You's gold, jade jewelry and calligraphy and paintings may also be buried with him, but they can also be passed down from ancestors, so it is safer to gold, jade jewelry.

Those Tang Sancai and Zodiac figurines... are indeed of high value, but don’t touch them even if you touch them, you will easily be caught.

Li You looked carefully at the about fifty pieces of gold and jade jewelry in his luggage bag, and three calligraphy and paintings. After the corner of his mouth rose slightly, he felt that the space in front of him began to fluctuate again, and soon the fluctuation of the space ended. Li You was already at his home in the provincial capital at this time.

At this time, there was no one in his family. Tang Shiyun and Zhao Lingling should be teaching in school at this time. Li You looked at the countdown in his system and had changed from twenty-four to forty-eight, which means that Li You can stay in this modern day for two days and two nights.

After looking at it was already twelve o'clock noon, Li You did not go to school to find Tang Shiyun, nor did you buy a burner. Li You went downstairs and drove to the supermarket to purchase it. He bought a lot of food, drinks, and used it... Then he took out his cell phone and dialed out a number. After getting the other party's address, he drove directly to a small mountain village.

This small mountain village is the village where Xiao Feng is. Xiao Feng is a young man who knows weapon design rescued by Li You. His mother suffered from cancer and Li You paid the money. Originally, Li You just thought that he could do a good thing, but what he didn't expect was that if he did a good thing, he would be rewarded.

Xiao Feng was actually a master of ancient weapon design and imitation. Then Li You gave the other party a batch of funds to ask Xiao Feng to help him imitate and design ancient weapons, the first weapon was the Great Yellow Crossbow.

Xiao Feng’s village is called Hongcun... This village is very interesting. From a high point, the whole village looks like a green cow lying slanted by the stream in front of the mountain. Leigang is the head of a cow, towering ancient trees are the horns, houses are the ox bodies, water steaks are the ox intestines, moon marsh is the ox stomach, Nanhu is the ox tripe, and four bridges built on rivers and streams are used as cow legs.

Li You couldn't drive into the village, so he could only get out of the car after reaching the entrance of the village.

When I got off the car, I saw that the village had a very good geographical location, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the layout was basically facing north and south. The base was surrounded by mountains and rivers.

After walking in, I found that the buildings in the village were basically ancient buildings, which were the kind of Hui-style buildings, with pink walls and green tiles arranged in order, the eaves and corners were padded and raised, and the entire village was selected, the layout and architectural form emphasized the unity of man and nature, and respected nature.

This scientific village water system design not only solves the problem of fire water for villagers, but also regulates the temperature and provides convenience for residents' production and daily water.

It is hard to imagine that the builders of this village were a group of ancient people.

"May I ask, where do you know the Xiao Feng family?"

Li You didn't know Xiao Feng's family, but Li You had a mouth. Seeing someone, Li You hurriedly asked. However, before the other party answered, Li You heard a cheerful voice in the distance shouting: "Brother Li..."

When Li You looked back, Xiao Feng rushed over happily.

"Oh...Xiaofeng..." Li You also shook his hand happily and responded.

Soon Xiaofeng came to Li You's side. At this time, the villagers beside him asked, "Xiaofeng, is this your relative?"

Xiao Feng quickly replied: "Brother Li is my family's savior. My mother's money for treatment was given by Brother Li. If it weren't for Brother Li, my mother might not be there."

"Oh..." The villagers were excited: "That's a good guy, Xiaofeng, please take the good guy home quickly. I'll go to the mountain to dig some thunder bamboo shoots for you...!"

"Hey...thank you Uncle Wang..." Xiaofeng laughed and then took Li You home.

"What is thunderbolt bamboo shoot?" Li You didn't know what the thunderbolt bamboo shoots were mentioned by the villagers just now.

Xiao Feng smiled and explained: "Thunderbolt bamboo shoots are a kind of spring bamboo shoots, but these thunderbolt bamboo shoots are different from ordinary spring bamboo shoots. Lei Gong bamboo shoots are known as the largest vegetable bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River... They are particularly fresh and have high nutritional value.

But we can only eat thunderbolt bamboo shoots ourselves, because they must be eaten within an hour after being dug out. If they exceed an hour, they will deteriorate, age, and cannot be pickled or stored..."

"Oh...!" Li You nodded. This should be the delicacy that belongs to the people in the mountains.

Walking on the stone road in Hongcun, Li You saw that there was a sink next to him. Xiao Feng told Li You that the sink was called Shuizhen, which was built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty and had a total length of more than 1,200 meters.

The ancestors of Hongcun people built stone dams on the Shangshoushan River in Hongcun. They made artificial canals several meters wide made of stones, using the terrain drop to divert water into the village.

The water is in the nine curves and ten curves, through the hall, through the moon marsh, and finally injects into Nanhu Lake, out of Nanhu Lake, irrigates farmland, waters fruit trees, and flows back into Baxi.

Shuizhen is the "tap water" of ancient villages. At that time, the ancestors of Hongcun set rules that before 8 o'clock every morning, the water in the "cow intestines" is drinking water. After 8 o'clock, the villagers can wash it here.

Alas, Li You is really very emotional. The designers here are really smart. In fact, many ancient villages in China are really designed very scientifically, and are better than modern designs.

I don’t know if you know Shou County. Anhui is very susceptible to disasters, especially floods. All modern cities have flooded, but this Anhui ancient city Shou County has its own flood control tools.

According to reports, the ancient city of Shou County has encountered countless floods, but the ancient city has not been flooded, and the people's lives and property are safe and sound. This is all thanks to the drainage and waterproofing system of the ancient city "Yueba".

"Yueba" has two existing places, called "Chongyong barrier flow" and "Jintang Ku". Its drainage function is magical. Usually, rainwater in the city is discharged from the outside of the city through culverts. When floods outside the city come, the culvert will automatically close. Even if the water level reaches the battlement of the city wall, the culvert will not flow backwards.

The most amazing thing is that when the rainwater in the city reaches a certain water level, even if the flood outside the city is higher than the water surface in the city, the rainwater in the city can still be discharged outside the city without flooding.

In addition to these, the ancient city of Shouxian has four city gates, each gate has a urn city, and the door holes are all bricks and stone top structures. The city wall is rammed with earth, bricks are laid on the outside, and stone foundations are below.

The ancient city Binyang Gate and the inner gate of the urncheng are not on the same line. In addition to the considerations of ancient military defense, this clever design also has an important role in flood control. If the flood breaks through the outer door and enters the urncheng, the flow direction will be changed due to this design, thereby reducing the impact on the inner door.

Soon, Li You followed Xiao Feng and the others to Xiao Feng's home.

This is a residence from the Qing Dynasty. The whole building is decorated simply and the columns are square. It is a representative work of the residential houses in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The halls are arranged in the back, and the front and back halls have patios, which have good lighting performance. On both sides are wing rooms, on the south side are front yards, on the north side are kitchens, and on the east side are small patios and a large garden facing west and facing east.

Xiao Feng told Li You that although this place is his family, the ownership belongs to the state. Their family has the right to live, but they do not have the right to buy and sell. Li You nodded because Li You knew that if Xiao Feng had the right to buy and sell the house, it would have been sold long ago.

"Oh...Mr. Li...!"

At this time, Xiao Feng's mother also came out. Seeing Li You, Xiao Feng's mother was very excited...!
