Chapter 664: The Emperor's Desert Island Survival

Ask for a commuter pass!

During this time, Li Chao has been busy stabilizing the situation in the sixteen states of Shannan Dongdao. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info busy raising food, busy with disaster prevention and relief, and busy with pacifying the chaos.

Now that the emperor is about to arrive, Li Chao has not been able to build a palace in Xiangyang City.

When Li Chao left Xiangyang to quell the rebellion, he assigned tasks to the officials who stayed behind, asking them to prepare a palace for the emperor in Xiangyang. As a result, when Li Chao returned to Xiangyang, he found that the so-called palace was not suitable at all.

It was a large manor in the city, very delicate and beautiful, but not big. The emperor's guards could not be stationed in the surrounding area, and there was no place for the various yamen of the imperial court to work.

The emperor didn't really just come to inspect the south of the mountain, and after coming to Xiangyang, he had to stay here for at least a few years, and he would not move to Xinjing until the Hanjing was completed. Anyway, after leaving Chang'an, it is impossible for the emperor to go back within a few years. The pattern in Xiangyang City is not suitable.

Standing at the head of Xiangyang City, Li Chao looked eastward.

"Yuliang Zhou!"

Li Chao patted the battlements with his hand and read softly.

"Back to Xiangguo, it is indeed Yuliangzhou. In the past, when the water fell on Da Jin, the people of Zhou took bamboo and wood as beams to catch fish, so they took fish after Liang Zhou. This continent has undergone changes and has many names, such as Yuezhou, Guyu, Yuniangzhou, Dahezhou, Wuliangzhou, Dashazhou, Wulangzhou and other names. ”

Lao Changshi, who has served here for several years, introduced to Li Chao, "According to the water through the injection of water, there is Yuliangzhou in the water, which is the residence of Pang Degong. Xiangyang County Chronicle also recorded that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao built a high platform in the east of Xiangyang City 20 miles to raise eagles, called Huyingtai, and fed falcons on this continent for hunting and leisure. ”

The water is the Han River.

Yuliangzhou, twenty miles east of Xiangyang City.

Although it is called Zhou, it is not actually an island, but a prominent peninsula surrounded by Han water on three sides. It's just that on the side connecting Xiangyang City, there is a section of low-lying land. When the Han River is flooded, the section connecting to Yangyang will be flooded, and the island will look like a large island in the middle of the river.

Now there is no rain for a long time, and Yuliang Island is connected to Yuliang Ping.

The location of Yuliang Island is quite unique, he is surrounded by water on three sides and leans on the mountain on the other, like a bull's horn arching diagonally to the northeast. The Han River flows from the northwest to Yangyang and turns to the northeast, forming a V-shape. In the north of Yuliang Chau, the water flows into the Tang River here, and then the Han River turns due south.

Yuliangzhou can be called the pearl of the Han River, when the river is full, it is surrounded by water on three sides. In particular, the area is very large, 21 miles long from north to south, 10 miles wide from east to west, and nearly 30 square kilometers.

The whole sandbar is in the shape of a haetang leaf, which is actually a sandbar in the center of the river formed by the joint siltation of the Han River and the Tangbai River.

"There is a low-lying area between Yuliangzhou and Yuliangping, if we dig a little, then we can dig a low trough here, and we can lead the Han water to be naturally straightened, and Yuliangzhou will directly become a big island." Li Chao pointed in the direction of Yuliang Zhou.

Changshi is a little puzzled, is there nothing to dig up Yuliangzhou and Yuliangping?

When the Han River was rising, Yuliangzhou was isolated from Yuliangping, which also made it very inconvenient for the people to row back and forth by boat. Now in the dry season, the two sides are connected, and what are you doing with deliberately digging a ditch?

Dig a ditch and it becomes a real island.

Li Chao smiled, he really wanted to directly turn Yuliang Island into a large island.

The purpose is also very simple, that is, to let Li Shimin live on this big island.

Twenty-one miles long, ten miles wide, nearly 30 square kilometers of the island, Li Shimin can really live on the island as much as he wants, not only Li Shishi lives on it loosely, but the various yamen of the imperial court can also be stationed on the island, and even the forbidden army brought by Li Shimin can also be stationed on the island.

It is very convenient in terms of space and safety.

Fancheng to the north, Xiangyang to the south, the Han River goes around the island, and there is a water flowing in.

No matter how you look at it, it's all very good.

The provincial government is crowded in Xiangyang City, and the security situation is complicated.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to fight against the Yuan army, the Song army built a solid platform on Yuliang Island, trained 70,000 sailors, built 5,000 warships, and fought a fierce war with the Yuan army for five years.

Now it is more than enough to throw Li Shimin and his harem, his court, and his forbidden army on the island.

Li Chengqian stood behind Li Chao, picked up a fried golden crispy locust from the retail bag and threw it into his mouth, crunching and crunching.

"It's a nice place, but there's no house built there!"

There are some people on the island, but there are not many, if the emperor is invited to go there, it would be good to move the people above directly. Even if it is surrounded by such a wide river, it is convenient and safe to guard, and there is no need to build any city walls.

However, the emperor can't go to the island to survive on a desert island.

Not to mention the palace, there must be a palace, three provinces, six temples, and supervisors, there must also be a yamen, twelve guards and four mansions, three inner mansions and five mansions, plus the four armies of the northern ya, and the barracks must also be built.

In seven days, Li Chao couldn't change a palace, let alone a temporary capital.

"Seven days, it's almost over, we can also set up some tents and build a tent city to welcome Your Majesty." Li Chaodao.

Li Chengqian hummed and continued to chew locusts, which were fried by himself, and after learning Li Chao's recipe, he fried various flavors, spicy, spicy, crispy, salt and pepper, etc., these locust snacks were also deeply liked by Li Chao's other students.

The prince and the others now each carry a schoolbag with books, pencils, and paper, but also locusts for retail. There is nothing to chew a few, and it is quite enjoyable. He thinks Li Chao's idea is very good, how good the scenery on Yuliang Island is.

As for living in a tent or something, it doesn't matter, it's just a temporary stay for a few days.

Changshi was surprised.

Let the emperor come to live on a desert island and live in a tent, this is simply a big rebellion.

"Xiangguo, do you want to think about it again!"

"The prince also thinks Yuliangzhou is very good."

"But it's a desert island, it's cold now, and it's about to enter winter, and then it's even colder on the river, and living in a tent is not a long-term solution."

"I didn't say that I would live in tents for a long time, and it wouldn't take long to build some temporary palace houses. In seven or eight days, you can build a house, and since you can build one, then it is okay to build ten, eight, and one hundred, but it is just a little more manpower. ”

"Build a house in seven days? How is this possible, you have to dig the foundation, you have to dig the ground, you have to cut down the trees, you have to ram the earth, etc... It's simply impossible! "Changshi is dissatisfied with Li Chao's attitude, it is related to the emperor's residence, even if it is a temporary residence, it cannot be ambiguous at all.

"Seven days, that's really enough!" (To be continued.) )
