Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

After returning to Beijing to report on their work, only Li Shimin, Yuchi Baoqi and Su Quan were left in the Taiji Hall. Yuchi Baoqi took out a scroll from his arms and spread it out on the table.

Li Shimin's pupils were shocked. He walked around Yuchi Baoqi several times, touched his waist and picked at his sleeves, and finally lifted up the hem of Yuchi Baoqi's gown.

"Lao Deng, what are you doing?"

Li Shimin touched Yuchi Baoqi's chest again and squeezed it twice. It felt quite good: "Where did you hide this scroll? Why didn't I notice it at all?"

Yuchi Baoqi sighed: "Why do you care so much? Do you want to learn? I'll teach you."

Su Quan looked at the unfolded scroll and looked up at Yuchi Baoqi: "Brother, isn't this the city map of Chang'an?"

Li Shimin poked his head out from behind Yuchi Baoqi, and kept touching Yuchi Baoqi's chest from behind: "What are you trying to do?"

Yuchi Baoqi pointed to the city map: "The current Chang'an City is too small, and the scale of Qizhou City has far exceeded Chang'an City. Don't you feel uncomfortable? The capital of a country is worse than a new city."

"I was wandering on the street a few days ago. Many vendors lived outside the city. After finishing their farm work and watering in the morning, they had to push their stall carts into the city to set up stalls and do their work without rest. The renters in the city The height is already a bit scary.”

Su Quan looked at the circled areas on the city map: "Are these the places where pipelines are planned to be buried? Then the entire roadbed of Chang'an City will have to be re-paved, and all the bluestone slabs will have to be removed. The amount of work is not small. "

Yuchi Baoqi pointed to the location of the palace: "Originally, I thought that the location of the palace would remain unchanged and the entire Chang'an City would be expanded on the original basis, but..."

When Li Shimin heard that it was related to his palace, he quickly let go of his hand, stroking his beard and walked to the side of the city map: "I look at it, it has been expanded overall. This palace was also built by the previous dynasty, and it is not as new as it is."

Yuchi Baoqi nodded: "I have the same idea, mainly because you said that the entire Chang'an City has been renovated and has been connected to running water and electricity. It is not suitable for the palace to have hair."

Su Quan's head was a little big: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for the City Construction Department alone to complete such a large project in a short time. It will take at least four to five years, or at most ten years."

Yuchi Baoqi was optimistic: "It's not that exaggerated. Today's cities and towns in Chang'an are all made of wooden structures, which are in disrepair and are easy to catch fire. My plan is to build something as new as the old and retain the overall style of Chang'an City, but the architecture Use new materials.”

"As for the project, we must first determine the location of the water plant and water intake, and then build several very large thermal power plants to ensure power supply and water supply for the entire Chang'an City. Then build them in batches according to city."

"By the way, Lao Deng'er, we don't plan to build the city wall anymore. Will you feel insecure?"

Li Shimin shrugged nonchalantly: "I'm about to retreat anyway. It's none of my business whether Gao Ming is safe or not, demolish it! I've long been unhappy with the city wall."

Yuchi Baoqi asked Wang De to take out some large pieces of paper, picked up a pen and drew a circle: "Assuming this is the location of the imperial city, and behind it is the palace, the surrounding walls must be enclosed, and it is best to connect them to high ground. Piezoelectric.”

"Close to the Imperial City, we will arrange a villa area, which is the residence for officials, princes, and princes. On the other side, we will arrange a large number of entertainment facilities and places to facilitate high-spending people to stimulate domestic demand."

"The rest of the buildings are mainly designed for low-pollution workshops, such as garment production and cotton spinning. We will also arrange dormitories for migrant workers nearby. Don't build them too high, let's tentatively set them at six floors."

Su Quan took out a booklet and carefully recorded Yuchi Baoqi's plan for the new Chang'an City. Li Shimin kept pushing Yuchi Baoqi aside.

"Let's talk about the palace first, let's talk about the palace first."

Yuchi Baoqi raised his elbows impatiently: "Tsk, are you bothered? Are you going back after living longer? In order for taller buildings to appear in the entire Chang'an City, the entire imperial city and palace city must be raised to prevent those with cerebral palsy. What the censor said was beyond the rules and regulations."

"The tentative number of buildings in the palace city must be 10,000. Wow, I'm going to have a big headache just thinking about laying so many pipes. I'll leave it to you, Ah Quan."

Su Quan hurriedly nodded and agreed. He took over the project himself. At least he didn't have to go to the Sogdian desert to eat and sleep in the open air. He didn't have to go to the north to dig up frozen soil, and he didn't have to go to the far west to do some road planning. He would stay in Chang'an. Very good!

Li Shimin pointed to the edge of the palace city: "Can a tower be built here? I think..."

Yuchi Baoqi randomly circled a place: "The list of heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, right? Don't worry, I'll keep it for you. How about you can see it from the entrance of Ganlu Hall with a telescope?"

Li Shimin looked at Yuchi Baoqi with his mouth half-opened and his eyes widened: "You...you, you, have you gone to sea to find your master? Your skills are getting deeper and deeper, I didn't say anything. ..Have you practiced enough to see through people’s minds?”

Yuchi Baoqi stared at Li Shimin for a long time, making Li Shimin look gross: "Did you eat the hibiscus fresh vegetable buns in the morning? Didn't you think it was satisfying? It was a little oily and spicy?"

Li Shimin covered his mouth: "How do you know?"

Yuchi Baoqi sneered: "The vegetable leaves are stuck in the teeth, and there is a broken pepper seed on the beard. Can't you take care of yourself after eating?"

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was just observing the details: "I can't help it. I didn't sleep well last night. I couldn't sleep well in my dreams."

Su Quan kept Li Shimin's inability to sleep in mind, and thought about finding some ways to help his father after leaving the palace.

Yuchi Baoqi put his arm around Li Shimin's shoulders: "Is it...that one?"

Li Shimin's tiger body trembled, and Yuchi Baoqi quickly smoothed Li Shimin's guarding hair: "Don't be afraid, snoring and snoring, you won't be scared."

"Your situation is normal. Tsk. It's a pity that my father and Uncle Qin are not here."

Yuchi Baoqi went directly to the imperial desk, picked up a brush and drew two portraits. In the picture, a man has a white face and a short beard, sword-shaped eyebrows at the temples, and sharp eyes. With one hand on the copper mace at his waist, his eyes seemed to be staring straight at the person looking at the painting, which made people feel chilly.

Wang De helped dry the ink, and Li Shimin and Su Quan recognized it at a glance. This was Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yi, who looked like he was in no man's land on the battlefield and took the general's head as if he were looking at the pattern with his palm turned.

Yuchi Baoqi picked up the pen again, but was still hesitant to start: "Don't look at it, go get me some ocher and lapis lazuli."

While waiting for Wang De to go to the ore and paint, Yuchi Baoqi was thinking about his father's appearance in his mind, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he had a good idea.
