Chapter 244: Village in the City



"You are a good person who considers things comprehensively, which is a good thing. However, it does not mean that this ability is so great. You still need to study hard in the future. After all, only when your knowledge is broader can you make greater use of this advantage."

Children can be encouraged and need praise, but they also need criticism. Self-confidence is a virtue, but pride is not. The balance must be struck well.

Li Dan nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, I will work hard."

Wang Zheng looked at the brothers Li Xian and Li Xian, who looked a little disappointed, patted them on the shoulders, and said with a smile: "A wise man will make mistakes even after careful consideration. There is nothing worth worrying about when you don't understand something.

Moreover, you only need to get in touch with these things and know the general idea so that others cannot deceive you. For you, you don’t need to study these subjects too deeply. You just need to remember the knowledge I give you. The knowledge you need to study is with His Majesty.”

Li Zhi patted his two sons' heads and laughed, "Haha, you have a good husband."

Li Xian and Li Xian bowed to Wang Zheng and said, "Thank you for your teachings, sir."

"That's fine, Master. Just build the temple." Wang Zheng said with a smile, "This place is in a good location. We can build a lighthouse and shoot a beam of light into the sea at night. It will be a guide. I'll leave this matter to you in the future. Together with the morning bells and evening drums, you will be the guide of this city in the future."

But this is not the case on the coast. If the terrain is not right, it is not uncommon for walls and houses to collapse when the wind blows headlong. Therefore, if coastal buildings are built on top of mountains, there must be higher peaks around them to block the wind.

In order to avoid disputes, Wang Zhen chose a location for the new Bao'an City dozens of miles away from the original county seat, which was basically an uninhabited area. He even bribed some of the villagers with a little money.

As for growing vegetables, there is still some soil on this mountain. If we collect it and add some gravel, and then dig some small stone pits to grow vegetables, it should be enough for the monks to eat. If that doesn’t work, we can also plant more papayas, or use the Yuzhou method to grow mushrooms, sprout bean sprouts, and grind tofu to make do.”

After receiving compensation, many people in the small fishing village happily moved to Bao'an City to live a good life. After all, they were given houses, money, and jobs. What a good thing. Would they be stupid not to move? However, there were a few families who were stupid and refused to move. They said that their ancestors had been making a living here for generations and they would not live long if they left.

"You're welcome."

Wang Zheng turned around and looked at the surrounding mountains, then looked at the shape of the small hill under his feet, nodded and smiled, "Master, you have chosen a good place."

Afterwards, a large area from Bao'an New City to the seaside was designated as the territory of the imperial court. No one was allowed to reclaim the land, build houses or workshops. Reclamation of other places was free and whoever reclaimed the land owned it. The price of land for construction was five strings of coins per acre.

Huineng smiled and nodded, saying, "Buddha believes in karma. The fact that the chief steward chose this hill to explore the terrain is karma. It is the right place to build a temple."

At first, Li Xian thought that those families wanted to ask for more money and ask the person in charge to give them more money to get the job done. But it turned out that was not the case at all. They really didn't want to leave that place.

Wang Zheng smiled and said to Huineng, "Master, have you chosen a temple location?"

"I just said that the water in Feng Shui is about the flow in and out, and drainage is the most important thing. Now let's talk about wind. In inland areas, wind is actually not that important. After all, there are no strong winds inland. Even if the wind direction is wrong, it can be compensated by buildings.

Huineng looked at Wang Zheng and saw that Wang Zheng didn't say anything. He knew that the steward wanted him to show his ability in front of the emperor so that he could show off his face, so he smiled.

Huineng nodded, bowed eleven times to Wang Zhenghe, and said with a smile: "The chief steward should have made some plans for this mountain, right?"

The height of 14 or 15 meters is not too hard for believers to climb up the mountain. The most important thing is that according to the future developments, this mountain is likely to end up in the city, which is particularly rare. "

Although this small hill is a rocky mountain, there are mountains on three sides that block the wind, so you don’t have to worry about strong winds. One side faces the sea and has a great view, so it’s a good place.”

With Wang Zheng's current reputation, these words are equivalent to protecting Huineng. From now on, no matter who is in power here, they will basically give face to Huineng.

In the following days, Wang Zheng took a few little ones to plan the road. They kept going up the mountain to observe the terrain and then went down the mountain to investigate on the spot. It took five days to finalize the final planning drawings.

When we were finally preparing for construction, we encountered some trouble.

The first thing Wang Zhen did when he came here was to explore the terrain, then start to select a site, and after making a good plan, he confirmed the various property rights.

Li Zhi nodded and smiled, "It can solve the problem of food and water. This mountain is really good. It is flat and easy to climb up and down.

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "But this kind of rocky mountain is not very convenient for growing vegetables and fetching water, right? The staple food can be stored for a long time. Although this mountain is only a dozen feet high, if you go down the mountain to buy vegetables and fetch water every day, haha."

Li Zhi also looked around and asked, "This mountain is bare. Is there anything I can't see?"

Huineng's face lit up, and he clasped his hands together again and bowed to Wang Zheng, saying, "Thank you, Steward Fengzheng. I will do my duty in the future."

Huineng smiled and explained: "The stones of this mountain are just right for building a temple. When the time comes, we just need to collect all the stones from the same place, otherwise we can dig a stone pit. There is a lot of rain in the south. As long as the layout is appropriate, we can collect rainwater from the entire mountain top and store it in the stone pit. I think water will not be a problem.

One acre of land is definitely enough to build a house or a small workshop. The locals originally had the land for free, and those who followed did not care about the five strings of coins. Even if it was a large workshop of ten acres, no one would mind. After all, if you could build a large workshop, you would not be short of the fifty strings of coins, not to mention that the profits of the workshops were so high at that time.

Wang Zhen also planned to integrate the small fishing village of Hong Kong into the city. After all, the seaport is such an important matter, it is impossible for Wang Zhen not to make plans early.

It’s just that this place has not been developed much, and the people in the fishing village were not willing to leave, so Wang Zhen didn’t pay much attention to them. Now it has become a legacy issue.

"They are willing to cooperate with our planned route. If their house is blocking the road, they are willing to move. They don't want us to pay, they can just spend money to move it, but we must leave them some land to grow vegetables and food."

Li Xian looked helpless. "It's such a big city. If they want to continue fishing, they have to grow vegetables and food in the city. Sigh."
