Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Chihai, this tourist resort called the sky realm by later generations, is now seven or eight miles northwest of it, and a brand new city has been mostly built.

The design of only 9 square kilometers makes it not very big. Although the city wall is also very tall, it is naturally incomparable with a big city like Chang'an.

At this moment, most of the construction sites in this city have stopped work. After all, the weather is already very cold and it is no longer suitable for construction. However, some projects in the city are still going on, such as some drainage systems, pottery pipes cast out, etc. All in one section installation.

The city walls on both sides of the west and north sides have been completely completed, and the tower above the city wall is only reserved, and it is expected to start construction next year.

However, the largest mansion in the city has been completely completed. This is the first priority building for all the herdsmen working in the entire project.

This is the main building of Xizhou Protectorate's Mansion. The ground floor covers an area of ​​about 1000 square meters, with a total of three floors.

The bright and thick glass occasionally reflects light under the sun, but it makes the tall Xizhou Protectorate Mansion, which has a total of three floors, very conspicuous.

This is a Protectorate of the Western Zhou Dynasty built on the basis of the concept of villas for future generations. Of course, it is impossible to completely imitate future generations. Its biggest change is the use of a lot of glass, and these glasses are tempered glass.

Don't ask where the tempered glass came from, but Li Ke removed all the glass from the windows of the office building in the warehouse.These are Xizhou's cards, they must be sorted out.

The size of the windows in the entire Duhufu is determined according to these glass sizes, and then the wooden frames are built. After all, the tempered glass cannot be cut after it is formed.

The floor of the house is all paved with white marble, and there is a flush toilet in the house. Yes, it is a flush toilet. Of course, it is impossible to be as exquisite as modern ones, but the toilet made of a whole body, the water pipes inside Other equipment is made of copper pipes. In fact, the flush toilet is not difficult as long as you understand the principle. It can be made in ancient times, and it is more luxurious.

In addition, there are flues in the direction of each floor and flues for installing northern stoves and heated kangs.

All the rooms in Duhu Mansion did not use beds, but heated kangs.

In fact, kangs were invented in the northern part of the Central Plains at the end of the Shang Dynasty, earlier than the Spring and Autumn Period. However, these kangs are not the same as those of later generations. After all, many concepts are still lacking. The kangs made by Li Ke are in line with the needs of later generations. standard.

The flue under the kang skin is meandering and circling, so that the whole kang will be very hot, and it will not be cold all night after burning a fire.

It is covered with thick felt made of skimmed wool, and then covered with various animal skins, and finally covered with sheets and the like.

The surrounding walls are also painted with white plaster. It has to be said that the limestone mine is actually very useful, and it can be used in various places.

Such as wool skimming, such as this wall.

These white walls make the interior of the house a lot brighter.

Li Ke lived in the most important building in the entire Protectorate's Mansion for less than a month. After all, he lived on the second floor not long after the construction was completed.

After Li Ke leaves, Li Daozong's family will temporarily live here, but they only live on the first floor, and there is also an office area on the first floor.In addition, there will be other buildings built one after another in the Protectorate's Mansion in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The highest of these buildings is no more than two floors, and they are mainly for the generals such as Su Dingfang to live in.

Standing on the balcony on the third floor, Li Ke can overlook the entire Chihai City. Most of the buildings in Chihai City have not yet started construction. The main building is the barracks near the four city gates and the Xizhou Protectorate. whole building.

However, the design of the streets and other aspects have been reserved, including the rivers passing through the city, the wells dug, etc. are all planned in advance.

"Third brother, have you packed everything?" Li Yan looked at Li Ke and asked.

"It's packed. When I go back this time, I will go back by boat from Longyang Gorge. It will be faster and more comfortable." Li Ke said with a smile. Yuwenlin has built two brand new sailboats. The speed and stability of the aircraft have been improved, and the design of the watertight cabin mentioned by Li Ke has also been added.

Taking a boat is much more comfortable than riding a horse. Although following the Yellow River, you may have to go around the Hetao area, but even so, the entire 12-mile river journey can be reached in about [-] days if you don’t stop.

This speed is much faster than that of the land road, and of course it is impossible to stop the whole journey. On some steep river sections, it is necessary to pass during the day.

So the trip back home is estimated to take at least 20 days.

"Well, third brother, take care all the way. You can rest assured that Xizhou has me. Besides, the speed of news delivery is very fast and you can reach Chang'an. Next year's Xizhou will definitely be a different Xizhou." Li Yan was serious. nodded.

"I believe." Li Ke also nodded.

Iron Hammer and the others are on vacation, and the construction of the city has stopped because of the approaching winter, but if they want to work, there are still a lot of people who can do it.But Iron Hammer was not going to do it, because he had something important to send to His Highness.

His Highness is leaving and returning to Chang'an.

He has only been here for a few months, but he has brought a new life to Xizhou. All their herdsmen are relying on His Highness to usher in today's new life, so His Highness is going, of course they are going.

"We're not far away, should we go early?" Iron Hammer's wife came over and asked.

"Well. The village has already discussed it. Three people were drawn by lottery to stay and graze. They are probably scolding their mothers at the moment." Iron Hammer said this with a bit of a smile. Everyone wanted to send His Highness off, but cattle and sheep were also I can't ignore it, so I drew lots, and as a result, three unlucky guys were drawn, and they could only go to herd cattle and sheep.

"Then let's go. I've prepared dry food. I heard that His Highness is leaving the day after tomorrow. Let's go early and set up a temporary den along the official road, so as not to have no place when we get there. I also want to see what His Highness looks like." How about your appearance, so that you can remember His Highness's appearance." Iron Hammer's mother-in-law said seriously.

"Ah."

After packing up, several members of the Hammer family set off, including the youngest child of their family, who also wanted to see His Highness. It was His Highness who gave her enough food every day and had time to play.

Soon, five people and four horses went straight to the destination.

The movement of Tie Hammer and the others alarmed the neighbors next door. When they saw Tie Hammer and his family leaving on horseback, the neighbors were stunned for a moment, and immediately couldn't help cursing: "Tie Hammer is not a person! He left so early? This There is still more than a day left, he told us tomorrow, but he ran away today? Pack up your things!"

The neighbors immediately tidied up as well.

Looking down from a high altitude, the dots of black dots are like tiny waves, they are constantly gathering and gathering.
