Chapter 0236 Chao County People's Government
Why Liu Liangzuo opposes so firmly has his own reason. Since ancient times, the role of the city wall in the military has been incomparable. How many meritorious officials have made immortal achievements with one wall? Far from saying, General Yuan Chonghuan has become famous by virtue of the strong city. Therefore, since ancient times, this wall has been an extremely important war preparation fortification, and the imperial court has also attached great importance to it. Every time you inspect a place for defense, those who have walls are the most important basis for consideration. And the construction of the city wall is also extremely difficult.
Every time a city is built, it requires millions of city bricks, and hundreds of millions of bricks. For example, Nanjing is said to have used 180 million city bricks. In a big city like Nanjing, it took nearly ten years for the whole people to burn bricks. And the process of burning bricks is also extremely exquisite and strict. Each city brick is engraved with the name of the person responsible for the final quality inspection from organization to firing. At the final acceptance link, two soldiers will fight each other with bricks, and they will be qualified without breaking the skin. If the unqualified rate exceeds the requirements, you should be investigated according to the inscription on the brick. If it is heavy, you have to cut off your head. This brick has been made into a wall. If it falls down, the person with this inscription will naturally stink for thousands of years, and if it does not fall down, it will last forever. This move can be said to be powerful.
Although Chao County is not as good as Nanjing City, and there is only a three-sided siege, it also uses nearly 10 million city bricks. Like Nanjing City, it is also fired in strict accordance with the firing requirements. There is no national mobilization like Nanjing City, so it took more than 20 years to finally complete it.
Because the city wall is so important, the time and money spent are immeasurable, and the court's management of the city wall is also extremely strict. It is natural that damage is not allowed. Once it is damaged due to war and sandstorm erosion, the place must be repaired in time, and any delay or failure to report will be punished.
It's too late to protect. Now Zhuo Bofan is actually going to tear down the city wall. This is amazing. It's light to kill the nine ethnic groups dozens of times.
Liu Liangzuo advised bitterly: "General, think twice. This is really not a joke. The city is a military preparation under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. Who dares to move without the permission of the imperial court?" Liu Liangzuo knew that Zhuo had the intention to ask the imperial court for Chao County as a fiefdom, and there is a good hope of success, but even if he got the fiefdom This city is still not your own thing.
Zhuo Fan didn't take it seriously and said, "Since this wall is more harmful than good, why can't it be demolished? The court, what does the court want to do in the city? They can't eat or drink. What they want is the long-term stability of the place. Besides, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Let's say that most of the city wall war collapsed, and we are hurrying to prepare for the reconstruction of the city.
Liu Liangzuo was dumbfounded and looked at Zhuo Bufan, who smiled and stretched out his thumb, but he forgot that the mighty general was a famous dung bee. This kind of thing was done at will.
Therefore, the soldiers and civilians rebuilt in Chao County took a rare rest for a night. The next day, the extraordinary reconstruction headquarters was listed. A team of commanders went deep into the front line with drawings. With Dahua sergeants as the backbone and the people as the support, they began a vigorous business of digging walls and bricks.
A batch of city bricks have been dismantled and placed neatly, and the ruins in the city have been emptied. White lime is made into a line. Relying on the three horizontal and vertical new urban area of the original main road planning, the streets and alleys relying on the main road are also well planned. As for the houses next to the street, there are also well-designed drawings as a unified standard, using city wall bricks as the main material, and building a unified style of ridge brick houses. In fact, according to Zhuo Fan's initial idea, he also wanted to get some multi-storey houses similar to dormitory buildings or community brick buildings, but there is no concrete in this era, and the floor slabs are naturally not easy to make. If you use big bluestone slabs, it will not be too late, and it is not safe enough. This is the only way to use this design.
Even so, the brick house with wall bricks is already excellent, strong, and fireproof. Even if the wooden beams and tiles at the top are burned down, the wall should be able to stand upright. Moreover, this kind of brick house is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is the most comfortable.
At the same time, a complete drainage system and water supply system are also started at the same time. Chao County's unique waterfront location provides great convenience. The genius of the Strategic Planning Department cleverly designed an integrated water supply and drainage system based on the natural conditions of Chao County. According to the water level of Chaohu Lake, a set of canals were dug all over the city, passing through the streets and alleys. The lake water naturally flows through the whole city, uses the water level to flow to the east of the city, then returns to a set of drainage canals, and finally converges back to Chaohu Lake. In cooperation with the original wells in the city, the problem of water supply and drainage has been completely solved.
In this way, the wisdom of the Strategic Planning Department has been brought into full play in Chao County, and a city unlike any other city has ever appeared. The small dots drawn by Zhuo Fan, that is, the core defensive stronghold of Chao County, were also built at the same time. With urban bricks, it is easier to build strongholds.
This action can't be completed in a short time. This evening, half a month later, Li Weisheng accompanied the extraordinary city to inspect, and finally climbed to the top of a stronghold that had been capped by the waterfront. Here, looking west is the endless Chaohu Lake under the sunset. To the east, it is a bath. Chaoxian New Town was reborn.
Li Weisheng is still the square crown with that characteristic. He looked at the neat and clean new urban area and sighed, "Zhuo extraordinary, is this the modern city you are talking about?" Li Weisheng has always called Zhuo extraordinary like this. He did not call him a general, nor did he listen to Zhuo extraordinary call him brother or something.
Zhuo Fan nodded and shook his head and said, "The appearance is very close, but it's still far away. In a modern city, there are many high-rise buildings and traffic. It is not dark at night, but full of bright lights, as bright as day." Of course, Zhuo Fan has not yet said that there are also the flashing neon and seductive criminal **.
Li Weisheng opened his mouth slightly and said, "Is there a lot of high-rise buildings and traffic? Isn't the capital like this? The lights shine like day, isn't this an exaggeration? How many candle lanterns do you need!"
Zhuobufan laughed dumbly and said, "That's not the carriage in the capital. That's, that's it. Let's put it this way. It's four wheels of an iron car. It doesn't need to be pulled or pulled by someone. As soon as you step on the accelerator, it runs fast. That's not a wax tree wind lamp, but an electric lamp. If there is electricity, as long as you press the electric door, it will turn on immediately. If there is no fire, it won't dry up. When it's dawn, the electric door will be closed and all gone out." Speaking of this topic, Zhuo Bofan couldn't help but be a little distracted. Without this ancient times, he could not experience the convenience and advancement of modern society.
