Ancient promotion routine

Huang Xiujun picked up the cotton and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after a while he said: "Now there is a problem that all the gentry in Zhongzhou fled to live in other places, and they don't want to come back. There are only a few There are poor people, and some of them have been resettled by you to Xizhou and Yulin, and I don’t know if they would like to come back. Without them, rebuilding is probably empty talk.”

After all, there are people who can rebuild. Without people, no matter how good the planning is, it is just empty talk.

Zhang Yanjin didn't think it was a big problem, and he even hoped that those old gentry who were entrenched in Zhongzhou before would better not come back. After all, these old gentry were deeply intertwined, which might affect his plan, and it would be very difficult to deal with.

As for the disaster victims who he resettled to Xizhou and Yulin at that time, he was not worried. Since ancient times, the descendants of Yan and Huang who lived on the land of Kyushu have paid attention to returning to their roots. Everyone has nostalgia for their hometown. As long as he incites them People will definitely come back.

"Don't worry about the common people I placed in Xizhou and Yulin, they will come back." Zhang Yanjin said firmly.

Then he turned his head to look at Yuwen Shangkai and said, "What do you think?"

Yuwen Shangkai pointed to Luoyang on the map and said: "Luoyang is located in the world, and it is scattered in all directions. It is adjacent to Mang Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Jianghuai in the east, and Guanlong in the west. Surrounded by mountains, it is surrounded by tigers in the east. It controls Hangu in the west, Youyan in the north, and Yique in the south. It can be said that the mountains and rivers are supported, and the situation is the best in the world."

Hearing this, Zhang Yanjin couldn't help but feel admiration.No wonder Yuwen Shangkai was originally named Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he was in charge of Zhongzhou's reconstruction work. He not only has two brushes, but his stomach is full of dry goods.

He remembered that the reconstruction of Luoyang in Zhongzhou started construction in June of the year, was basically completed by December, and was officially moved into use in March of the following year, which took only nine months.

The speed of construction has indeed surpassed the overall level of the Great Wei Dynasty. Not only that, the planning, design, organization and management of the entire project in Luoyang are very meticulous and rigorous, and the talent in urban planning and design is second to none in the Great Wei Dynasty. North Korea can be said to be unmatched by anyone.This is why Yuwen Shangkai is so respected by later generations.

Yuwen Shangkai’s analysis of Luoyang in this way really does not exaggerate Luoyang. Looking from Beiman Mountain, the highest point in Luoyang, you can see the vast Yellow River in the north, the vast soup and soup in the north, the dragon gate in the south, and the Yique Mountain with the sky hanging down. , the situation is the best in the world.

This is also the reason why later generations were said to be born in Suzhou and Hangzhou and buried in Beimang, and it is also the reason why Luoyang became the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties.Luoyang is a treasure land of geomantic omen, and burying it here can shade future generations in the Chinese concept.

While Zhang Yanjin was thinking, Yuwen Shangkai pointed to Kaifeng again and said, "As for Zhengzhou, the acupoints are formed on Songshan Mountain, with Songshan Mountain in the west, plains in the east, and the Yellow River in the north, so that the dragon veins are integrated into one body."

Later, Yuwen Shangkai analyzed the Fengshui of Kaifeng, Anyang, Shangqiu and other places, and finally came to a conclusion: "I think that the inner city, the Guocheng, should be built based on the terrain and Fengshui of each place. Build it from the inside out. "

Regardless of whether it was in the Great Wei Dynasty, the construction of urban areas in every place was built according to the inner city and outer city. Guocheng is the so-called outer city, which is what Mencius once said. The city is the outer city.

Zhang Yanjin nodded, expressing his agreement. In fact, when Yuwen Shangkai said it just now, he already had some calculations in his mind.

Huang Xiujun is good at architecture and construction, Yuwen Shangkai is good at urban planning, and can build cities in combination with local Fengshui and geographical conditions, while he is best at developing the economic influence points of each place.

That being the case, the three of them are each responsible for what they are best at. In this way, a clear division of labor and an optimal match can be achieved.

So, he looked at Yuwen Shangkai and Huang Xiujun and said, "Xiujun is good at architecture and construction, how about Xiujun being mainly responsible for the construction of cities in various places? Shangkai is good at city planning, how about letting Shangkai be in charge of city planning in various places?" As for me, I am responsible for revitalizing the economies of various places, so how about making the common people have enough food and clothing?"

"Okay, I have no objection." Yuwen Shangkai and Huang Xiu both felt that Zhang Yanjin's assignment was very suitable. The areas they were responsible for were actually the areas they were best at, and the reconstruction of Zhongzhou was nothing more than these three aspects, and they really had nothing to do Very picky.

Zhang Yanjin saw that neither of them had any opinions, so she took out the proposal she had thought up a long time ago: "For the reconstruction of Zhongzhou, we must plan and build according to the situation in various parts of Zhongzhou. The reason for one month is not to be acted rashly, so I put forward the standard for all affairs in our Zhongzhou reconstruction: adapt measures to local conditions."

"Adjust measures to local conditions!" The words "adapt measures to local conditions" really touched Yuwen Shangkai's heart, because when he planned urban construction, he always built according to the local geographical environment. What he hates most is not following the local environment. Just a rote person.

Although he believed in feng shui, he did not agree with divination to determine the location of the city walls, but insisted on Guan Zi's proposal: "The capital of a country should not be under a mountain, but above Guangchuan. And the principle of ditch prevention and province.

At this time, Zhang Yanjin proposed the slogan of adapting measures to local conditions, and he naturally most agreed with it.

Although Huang Xiujun was only responsible for the design of the building, a building could not be perfect without the environment. Therefore, he also very much agreed with Zhang Yanjin's slogan of adapting measures to local conditions.

After the three reached an agreement, Zhang Yanjin began to speak out about his economic plans for various places. After all, if he wanted to build factories or the like in these places, they all belonged to Yuwen Shangkai's plans for the city.

He took out a cinnabar pen and began to draw on the map.

"First of all, I plan to build a red brick factory in Kaifeng. Kaifeng's Bianhe River is connected to the Yellow River, and building materials can be transported to various places through water transportation." Zhang Yanjin drew a circle on the swamp he marked: "The swamp here, It happens to be the necessary material for firing red bricks. If the red brick factory is built here, it will be convenient to obtain materials and greatly save manpower. What do you think?"

Although Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai had both seen the red bricks that Zhang Yanjin offered to the emperor, and the appearance of Zhang Yanjin’s Cuiping Villa in Xizhou, they had never seen a house made of red bricks in person, and they still had some doubts about it for a while. hesitate.

"Red bricks are stronger than wood and will not rot. The city we built with red bricks can last for hundreds of years without maintenance. I think in Zhongzhou, we can try to use red bricks to build houses. Zhang Yanjin said with burning eyes.

Huang Xiujun had actually studied Zhang Yanjin's house blueprints made of red bricks, and he admired this new type of building, but he still felt a little bit unsure about promoting houses made of red bricks in Zhongzhou.

"If we want to use red bricks to build a house, I'm afraid we still need to ask the court's permission first. After all, this is not a trivial matter." Yuwen Shangkai said very conservatively.

Zhang Yanjin heard the words and said: "Okay, I will write a letter to the emperor immediately." As for building houses with red bricks, Zhang Yanjin is not afraid of not getting the support of the emperor. After all, the emperor took Li Mingrui to Datong to see the greenery he built. Pingshan Villa, I also walked around in it personally, I should know how strong the houses built with red bricks are.

After discussing this issue and reaching a conclusion, Zhang Yanjin continued to talk about his plan. He drew a circle in Luoyang, Kaifeng, Nanyang, Huangchuan, and Yanling: "Luoyang is located in the Central Plains and has a warm climate. I plan to vigorously promote it here. Plant gardenia, chrysanthemum, peony, rose, autumn osmanthus, winter plum and other flowers, and introduce different flower varieties from other places, plant them here, and then sell them to stimulate the economy of the entire Zhongzhou. After all, now we not only have the Great Wei Dynasty It can be sold in all places, including the Hexi Corridor and overseas.”

Both Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai didn't understand economics. Seeing that Zhang Yanjin was going to plant flowers vigorously in Luoyang, they heard that they wanted to give Zhang Yanjin a place in Luoyang where he could grow flowers.

"How many acres of land do you need?" Yuwen Shangkai asked in detail.When the flowers are in full bloom, they can also become a unique scenery in Luoyang. He can design the city wall based on this to achieve the best effect.

Zhang Yanjin made some calculations in his mind and said, "In Luoyang, I plan to plant peonies according to the local climate, and I need about [-] mu of land; in Kaifeng, I plan to promote chrysanthemums, which need [-] mu of land; With [-] mu, Yanling was originally a place where wintersweet blooms, just the same as before."

Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai gasped when they heard this data, and they didn't speak for a while.

In this era dominated by agricultural planting, Zhang Yanjin actually wants to use so much land to plant flowers, which sounds like a fantasy to them!

"Erlang, is this inappropriate? Why don't you use less land first, and it won't be too late to expand later?" Yuwen Shangkai frowned and persuaded.

Huang Xiujun, on the other hand, looked solemn and said nothing, as if he was trying to figure out how feasible Zhang Yanjin's idea was.

Afterwards, he directly denied: "Erlang, with all due respect, I think this is inappropriate. Agriculture is the foundation of the world, but now you want to use all this land to grow flowers. In my opinion, flowers are not edible. It can only be used for ornamental purposes, even if it can be sold, you can only get some small profits, this is simply chasing the bottom, so I don't agree with your idea."
