Everywhere you go, you smell of burning locusts and salted fish. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

smells it every day, although I can't feel any fishy smell anymore, Li Chao is still a little tired. On Yuliang Island, there are strings everywhere and piling piles, a scene in full swing.

In September, the day is neither cold nor hot, so it is quite suitable for building a house.

Yuliangzhou has nearly 30 square kilometers, half the size of Chang'an City. But Li Chao didn't plan to build the entire continent into a temporary capital, it was just for Li Shimin's temporary use, what kind of fanfare and construction was carried out.

In the eyes of Lin Changshi and other officials, even if it is to build a temporary palace for the emperor, it cannot be ambiguous. It has to be magnificent, it has to conform to etiquette, it has to show the bearing of the court and the royal family, and so on.

But Li Chao didn't put these at ease.

What majestic palaces, what chapter pavilions, what pavilions, rockery lakes, royal gardens, all to hell with. He didn't have that much energy to do this, and his plan was to build some temporary resettlement houses.

Uniformity is a one-story house.

There is no need to build dozens of square kilometers at all, it is almost enough.

In fact, although the planning of Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang dynasties was quite grand, there were many failures under the grand planning. For example, Chang'an City pays great attention to symmetry, which leads to many aspects that are very unreasonable. The six immovable mountains in the city have also become Liuyao, but the emperor is not at ease with this commanding height, so he builds more temples and Taoist temples on it.

The Taiji Palace of Chang'an Imperial Palace, where it is located, seems to be quite magnificent, but in fact it is in a low-lying area, and it is hot and humid every rainy day, which is not suitable for living. Even Yang Jian, who built Daxing City, later built Renshou Palace and left the palace to live outside.

Later, Yang Guang became the emperor, built the eastern capital of Luoyang, no longer adopt this completely symmetrical approach, but fully continue the terrain, from Longmen Yique to the Qing Palace on the mountain for the central axis of the capital, the imperial city is located on the northwest highlands, not only like the Ziwei Emperor Star, but also the actual defensive role is also quite strong, Li Shimin besieged Luoyang, has not been forced down, Li Mi did not take down the same year.

Chang'an City was planned to be huge from the beginning, aiming to accommodate millions of people. After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, the Daming Palace was also added to make Chang'an City bigger.

When Tang Chang'an City was the largest, it reached more than 80 square kilometers, an area equivalent to Luoyang City in the Northern Wei Dynasty. But because it's too big, it's never full.

The whole three columns in the south of Chang'an City, inaccessible, in fact, from Sui to Tang, have always been growing crops. In Chang'an City, there are many urban villages surrounded by tall walls.

The palace on Yuliang Island is completely unnecessary.

The palace city, the Yacheng, the military city, and the surrounding wharves, markets, and the residences of the families of officials and soldiers are very good, and there is no need to pay attention to the grandeur of the scale everywhere.

Build as many houses as there are people.

Removing those fancy things, the technical difficulty and cost of construction are also greatly reduced. For example, the pillars of the Qianyang Hall in the main hall of the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang are enough to have twenty-four circumferences. From Jiangxi felling and transportation in the past, a column of waste work is worth 10,000.

There is no need for this palace in Yuliangzhou, this is not only a palace, but also a temporary palace, what are you doing like that?

In one day's time, Miyagi had already measured everything, slipped on the white lime line, and groups of disaster victims who received relief food had begun to dig the foundation under the leadership of the foremen.

Because they only build one-story houses, and they don't do anything fancy, the foundation doesn't actually need to be dug too deep, just knee-deep, and you don't even need to hit piles.

The terrain on Yuliang Island is flat, there are no hills or the like, and the terrain is leveled quickly.

Just play around and it's smooth.

On the riverside wharf over there, the boats kept transporting the materials on the opposite Dongjin wharf to the island.

Cement, lime, bricks, tiles.

Many other people pushed wheelbarrows to dig pebbles and sand from the river.

Li Chao directly asked them to take the low-lying land between Yuliangzhou and Yuliangping, so that taking sand and gravel and digging trenches were not wrong, killing two birds with one stone.

Cheng Qian squatted on the ground, looking at the three-dimensional sand table that Li Chao asked the craftsman to make according to the drawings, and was interested. Lin Changshi and a group of officials were on the side, but they were wiping their sweat from the eyes.

The drawings look at Miyagi quite rudimentary, but after looking at the actual renderings, they want to commit suicide.

Is this Miyagi?

Even if it's a temporary Miyagi, it shouldn't be like this. It's like a village.

"Teacher, this is a bit similar to the Whale Gully Resort!" Cheng Qian looked at it for a while and said with a smile.

"The vision is good, it's about the same."

To put it bluntly, Whale Gully Resort is a farmhouse-like place, with a simple residential style at best, but it is actually a simple farmhouse yard. The palace city that Li Chao is building now has been slightly upgraded, and the farmhouse has become a town residence.

It's a courtyard house.

The emperor's courtyard is larger, with multiple depths and many houses, but it is still one floor, that is, there are many courtyards and many rooms. Then the other concubines also have courtyards, concubines, princes, and some in the palace have their own courtyards, that is, how deep the courtyard is, and the size is different.

There are also those who specialize in doing things in the palace, such as those in the court.

However, the number of Li Shimin's concubines and princes is actually not counted, there are no real seventy-two concubines in the three palaces, six courts, and tens of thousands of palace people.

The courtyard of the emperor and concubines is just like the landlord's house in the countryside, and there are their own maids, slaves, and maidservants in the courtyard, and the officials are also in the courtyard. In this way, Miyagi is actually a cluster of courtyard courtyards. This is similar to the one in the Whale Gully Resort, with yards one by one, but the yards here are larger.

"Lin Changshi, when Your Majesty was in the capital, he often went to the resort in Whale Gully, which is actually much simpler than here, and the small courtyard in the village is just a house with a yard, which is better than going here, but Your Majesty is as happy as living. Don't worry, Your Majesty won't think we're shabby here. ”

There are special people who level the land, some people measure the land, some people who pull the line and erect piles, some people who specialize in white ash, and some people who dig the foundation.

As soon as the foundation in front was dug, someone began to push a cart of bricks from behind.

To build a house normally, rammed earth walls are also commonly used, because of the low technical difficulty, clamp the version, then pour soil into it, and then tamp it hard, pile it up layer by layer, and finally the wall will be formed.

In some good houses, the soil of the wall has to be screened layer by layer, and what kind of loess is used, and even steamed and screened, so that there will be no insects in the wall in the future, and it will be stronger.

With bricks, only the really big families can use it.

However, Li Chao plans to build a house directly with bricks and tiles, in fact, Li Chao believes that the cost of using bricks and tiles is not necessarily higher than that of rammed earth, the key is to see how to operate and manage.

One of the biggest advantages of using bricks and tiles is that as long as the materials are prepared, then the time is the fastest when the house is actually built.

"Drag the cement over, drag the river sand too, and then carry the water, ready to trip the cement!"

With burned ready-made bricks, it is of course simple to build walls, but with cement for bonding, it is faster and more convenient.

Cement plus river sand, plus water, as soon as it is mixed, can be used to lay bricks. With bricks and concrete, building a house with walls is as easy as a child's stacking of bricks.

The cement factory not only sent cement, but they even sent a simple mixer, which was pulled by oxen and horses to directly mix cement, much faster than people.

Lin Changshi and the others watched the craftsmen built by Li Ji and the craftsmen of the cement factory, pouring buckets of cement into the mixer, and then shoveling sand and pouring water into it, all wide-eyed, this method can really work?

"Hey!"

After the cement, sand, and water were added in a certain proportion, the craftsman had the whip and the horse pull the mixer to turn. (To be continued.) )
