Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

And the food contained in the thirteen-story building is enough to last for half a year!

When Zhu Youjian ordered the construction, he summoned a group of great craftsmen and generals to brainstorm and consider the issue of holding on to the battle.

It can be said that the Governor's Mansion built by Zhu Youjian is a new type of fortress!

Compared with building a traditional city wall-style city building, the new Governor's Mansion building is more cost-effective.

This does not mean that Zhu Youjian has issued the "Daming Construction Law":

“From now on, all our sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty’s military and civilians will build all living places in any place, in any city, settlement, factory, workshop, mining site, etc., including but not limited to military camps where soldiers live, factories where workers live, and residential areas where common people live. Any building such as a house must adopt a "house-enclosed" building layout.

Houses and courtyards must be oriented toward the inside, and the exterior side must be built in accordance with the unified structural patterns and requirements of the "Defense Law of the Ming Dynasty".

Anyone who violates this rule will be deprived of all the privileges they have been granted and their property will be confiscated.

Within three generations, they are not allowed to engage in any affairs led by the state or government, such as imperial examinations, military service, land law, etc. "

To put it bluntly, it adopts a row-type construction method, so that when viewed from a bird's eye view, it appears in the shape of "hui" or "◎".

And such a building is inherently easy to defend.

For example, the "enclosed house" in the south.

In fact, enclosed house-shaped buildings have existed in China for a long time.

When I went to the northwest during the summer vacation, I saw an unearthed ceramic fortress model from the Western Jin Dynasty at the Lanzhou Museum.

This is a classic enclosed house type building.

It was a time of troubled times, and the north was in chaos. This model was probably the architectural style of Baowu at that time.

(Our country has long made prototypes before building large buildings.

The most famous one is that during the Song Dynasty, prototypes of ships were made according to a certain proportion and allowed to be enlarged by craftsmen to build ships.

In the Ming Dynasty, the prototypes were improved into more scientific drawings.

This has become a necessity for later generations. )

Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, southern Hunan and other regions have the most preserved enclosed houses in later generations.

The styles of enclosed houses include right-angled "back-shaped", circular "◎-shaped", irregular "and-shaped", "A-shaped"...

And shaped enclosed house

There are also ways to combine circles and loops.

No matter what kind of enclosed house it is, it is a residential building built for defense according to the terrain.

The terrain here on Temple Street is flat and protected by the Heilongjiang River. Therefore, Gong Yonggu adopted the word "Hui" to build the city.

Due to the vast territory of the three northern Xinjiang provinces, cities are basically built on plains.

Therefore, it is common to build in the shape of "Hui".

round house

The difference is that in a city with a large population, there are more "mouths" to "return" to, just like matryoshka dolls, one layer inside another.

Where there is a small population, it is just a simple "return".

In this way, even if there is no city wall, the houses built by the people spontaneously are the city wall!

Temple Street is the most populous city in the entire three provinces of Northern Xinjiang.

In the entire Nurgan City, the "mouth" of "Hui" has been used twelve times.

Combined enclosed house

In other words, even excluding the Governor's Mansion, Gong Yonggu still had 12 walls that could be used for defensive operations.

Gong Yonggu returned to the Governor's Mansion. Before he entered the courtyard, he heard Ding Nanlai's loud voice:

"You kid, you don't have any dignity at all. I am also a viscount. Your Majesty has granted us a kingdom with a radius of hundreds of miles!

You should listen to me.

As the saying goes, old age makes you wiser, but your experience is shallow! "

"What's wrong with the Viscount? Whoever you're talking about is not a Viscount!"

Isn’t it just a hundred miles of land? I have it too! "

Chu Dazhuang scratched his neck:

"Uncle Ding, let's discuss the matter.

I said that in Yongle Province, where the weather is freezing, if we want to develop, we should give priority to the development of tourism.

We have so many islands, so we should build different recreational areas. Only in this way can we attract businessmen.

According to His Majesty's words, that is called creating local characteristics and attracting investment.

Only by creating differentiation can we attract investment!

Only if businessmen are willing to come here can we gain popularity!

If there are more merchants, we will be able to develop. "

"Hey, your wings are hard, aren't they?

It was your uncles who raised you back then.

I still say the same thing, we are rich in natural resources here, so we should raise the flag——

As long as someone is willing to move here, not only will they be given land in accordance with His Majesty's rules, but we will also use our limited funds to support them.

Only when the basic inventory is revitalized and the population increases can we build Yongle Province!

As long as there are many people, why worry about running out of merchants?

Businessmen are all profit-seeking. If they have money to make, they don't need us to yell at them. They will do whatever they want! "

Ding Nanlai showed no signs of weakness and even brought up the story of Chu Dazhuang who had raised him.

Chu Dazhuang shrank his neck and had no choice but to present the facts and reason:

"Uncle Ding, one code equals one code!

The entire north and the entire Southeast Asia are undergoing large-scale development. How big a territory is this?

It is four times larger than the original two capitals and thirteen provinces of our Ming Dynasty!

Especially in Nanyang, the climate there is better than at home!

We have no advantage.

Our advantage lies in the fact that the area is large enough and land resources are the first factor that can truly distinguish Nanyang.

I still stick to my opinion, attract investment first, and only after creating a unique style can it become attractive. "

……

Gong Yonggu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Ever since the New Year's Day, His Majesty proposed to incorporate new land in the north and south and start a large-scale development strategy, his Governor's Mansion has become like a vegetable market.

There are three small quarrels a day, and one big quarrel every three days, and there is no quiet time!

In the final analysis, there is still one sentence - Northern Xinjiang really does not have an advantage.

It's too cold here.

It seems that it has been a whole year since the New Year. However, so far, the three huge northern provinces have only attracted less than 20,000 households.

The three northeastern provinces have attracted nearly 200,000 households!

The difference is exactly ten times!

Of course, compared to Nanyang, the nine northern provinces are the younger brother of the younger brother.

(Nine northern provinces: three Nurgan provinces, three Northeastern provinces, and three Mongolian provinces.)

In the entire Nanyang, as of the end of this autumn (September), the "Ming Dynasty Dibao", which is specially used for official internal reference, published the number of people who have moved to Nanyang - 126 million households!

This does not include the number of household registrations that moved to Sanxuan and Liuwei!

The total of the entire nine northern provinces is only a fraction more than others...

(Note: Don’t doubt this data. When the population was smaller in the early Ming Dynasty, the number of households that immigrated to the northwest alone was half a million.

According to statistics, from the early Ming Dynasty to the fifteenth year of Yongle, a total of more than 13.4 million soldiers and civilians migrated across the country!

The proportion of immigrants accounted for more than a quarter of the total population at that time. )
