666 Imperial Village
Wherever you go, it smells of burning locusts and salted fish.
I smelled it every day, and although I could no longer feel any fishy smell, Li Chao was still a little fucked. On Yuliangzhou, there were lines everywhere and piles, and there was a scene of being in full swing.
In September, it is neither cold nor hot during the day, so building a house is quite suitable.
Yuliangzhou is nearly 30 square kilometers, half of Chang'an City is large. But Li Chao did not intend to build the entire continent into a temporary capital. It was just for Li Shimin to use it temporarily, so it was not enough to use it to build a large-scale project.
In the eyes of officials such as Lin Changshi, even if it is to build a temporary palace for the emperor, it cannot be ambiguous. It must be elegant, conform to etiquette, demonstrate the demeanor of the court and the royal family, etc.
But Li Chao didn't feel relieved about this.
All of them are like towering palaces, attics, water pavilions, rockery, lakes, royal gardens, etc. He doesn't have so much energy to do these things. In his plan, he is just to build some temporary resettlement houses.
Unified houses are all one-story houses.
There is no need to build dozens of square kilometers at all, as it is almost enough.
In fact, although the planning of Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was quite magnificent, there were many failures under the magnificent plan. For example, Chang'an City was extremely symmetry, which led to many unreasonable aspects. The six unmovable mountains in the city also became Liu Yao, but the emperor was worried about this commanding height, so he built more temples, Taoist temples and government offices on it.
The Taiji Palace in Chang'an Palace seems to be quite magnificent, but in fact it is in a low-lying area. It is stuffy and humid every rainy day, so it is not suitable for living. Even Yang Jian, who built Daxing City, later established Renshou Palace and left the palace to live outside.
Later, when Yang Guang became the emperor and built the eastern capital Luoyang, he no longer adopted this kind of completely left-right symmetry, but fully extended his life-saving terrain. From Longmen Yique to Shangqing Palace in Mangshan was the central axis of the capital. The imperial palace city was located on the northwest highland. It not only looked like the Ziwei Emperor Star, but also had a strong defensive role. Li Shimin surrounded Luoyang and never attacked him, and Li Mi did not capture him.
The plan for Chang'an City was very large at the beginning, aiming to accommodate millions of people. After the Tang Dynasty, the Daming Palace was added to make Chang'an City bigger.
When the Tang Chang'an City was the largest, it reached more than 80 square kilometers, and the area was equivalent to that of Luoyang City, the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, because it was too big, it was not yet full.
There are three lithilifangs in the south of Chang'an City, and they are rarely visited. In fact, they have been planting crops from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. In Chang'an City, there are many villages in the city surrounded by tall walls.
There is no need for this in the palace on Yuliangzhou.
It would be very good to have some docks, markets, officials and soldiers around the palace city, yacheng, military city, and houses with their families. There is no need to pay attention to the grand scale everywhere.
Build as many houses as there are.
Remove those fancy things, the technical difficulty and cost of construction have also been greatly reduced. For example, the pillars of Qianyang Hall, the main hall of Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, are enough to have twenty-four circumferences. After logging and transportation from Jiangxi, one pillar was used to waste tens of thousands of dollars.
There is no need for the palace in Yuliangzhou. This place is not only an open palace, but also a temporary palace. What should I do like that?
In one day, the palace city had already measured everything and slipped onto the white lime line. Groups of victims who were receiving relief food had already begun to dig the foundation under the leadership of the foreman.
Because they only build one-story houses and don’t make any fancy things, they don’t need to dig too deep in the foundation. Just have a knee deep and don’t even need to punch piles.
The terrain on Yuliangzhou is flat, and there are no hills or anything like that. The flat terrain is fast.
Just do it and it will be smooth.
On the riverside dock there, ships kept transporting supplies from the opposite Dongjin dock to the island.
Cement, lime, bricks and tiles.
Many other people pushed wheelbarrows, digging pebbles from the riverside, and getting sand and soil.
Li Chao directly asked them to take the low-lying area between Yuliangzhou and Yuliangping, so that they could both kill two birds with one stone.
Cheng Qian squatted on the ground, looking at the three-dimensional sand table that Li Chao asked the craftsmen to rush according to the drawings, and was very interested. Lin Changshi and a group of officials were on the side, but they were sweating when they saw it.
The palace city looks quite simple on the drawings, but after looking at the actual renderings, they even wanted to commit suicide.
Is this a palace city?
Even the temporary palace city should not be like this. It is like a village.
"Teacher, this is a bit similar to Whalegou Resort!" Cheng Qian looked at it for a while and said with a smile.
"There is a good vision, it's almost the same."
To put it bluntly, Whalegou Resort is a farmhouse-like place. It sounds nice and simple, but it is actually a simple farmhouse yard. The palace city built by Li Chao has been slightly upgraded to a slightly higher level, and the farmhouse has become a residential house in the town.
It's the Siheyuan.
The emperor's courtyard was larger, with multiple depths and many houses, but they were still on the first floor, which means there were many yards and many rooms. Then other concubines also had yards, concubines and princes. Some of the palaces had their own yards, which were the depth of the yard, and the size of the yard.
There are also those who specialize in the work of the palace, such as the bureaus in the Yeting Temple.
However, Li Shimin's concubines and princes were actually not counted. There were no real three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and there were no tens of thousands of palace ladies.
The emperor and concubines' yard were like the country landlords' families. The yard had their own maids, slaves and officials, and they all followed them. In this way, the palace city was actually a courtyard group. This was similar to the Whalegou Resort, with yards one by one, but the yards here were larger.
"Chief Lin, when Your Majesty was in the capital, he often went to the resort in Whalegou Valley. It was actually much simpler than here. The small courtyard in the village was just one house with a yard, which was not as good as here. But Your Majesty was happy to live there. Don't worry, Your Majesty would not think that our place was simple."
Some special people are flattened and people are scattered, some are special people are pulling strings and staked, some are special people are special people to slip white and some are special people to dig the foundation.
The foundation in front was dug, and someone started pushing a cart of bricks from behind.
When building houses normally, rammed earth walls are commonly used. Because the technical difficulty is low, you can clamp the plate, then pour soil into it, then tamp it hard, pile it up layer by layer, and finally the wall will take shape.
For some good houses, the walls need to be screened layer by layer. They pay attention to the kind of loess used, and even steam and screen them, so that there will be no insects in the future and will be stronger.
Only those who really have wealthy families can use it.
However, Li Chao planned to use bricks and tiles to build a house directly. In fact, Li Chao's opinion, using bricks and tiles is not necessarily more expensive than building rammed earth. The key is to look at how to operate and manage it.
The biggest advantage of using bricks and tiles is that as long as you prepare the materials, the time will be the fastest when building a house.
"Twist the cement over, and also the river sand over, and then carry water, and prepare to trip the cement!"
With burned ready-made bricks, building walls is of course simple, while cement is used for bonding, making it faster and more convenient.
Cement, river sand, and water, can be used to build bricks once it is stirred. With bricks and cement, building a house is as simple as building a building for children.
The cement factory not only brought cement, but they even brought a simple mixer, pulled it with a cattle and horse, and stirred the cement directly, which was much faster than people.
Lin Changshi and others looked at the craftsmen built by Li Ji and the craftsmen of the cement factory, poured buckets of cement into the mixer, shoveled sand into it, and poured water, and stared at them. Is this method really possible?
"Hi!"
