Chapter 909 The chief's house is really big!
Seeing You Zhi's nervous look, Luo Chong couldn't help laughing. He stood up, patted You Zhi on the shoulder and said, "What are you thinking about? I don't plan to transfer you to my side to stand guard every day."
You Zhi quickly stood up and followed Luo Chong and said, "It is the duty of the Jinwu Guard to protect the safety of the chief and the safety of our Han tribe. Even if the chief really wants to transfer me back to stand guard, I am willing."
"Oh? Are you really willing to come back to stand guard? Then I really transferred you back?!" Luo Chong continued to tease You Zhi.
You Zhi immediately had a bitter face. He thought to himself, 'Why doesn't this chief follow the routine? Shouldn't he humbly refuse a few more times, and then accept it reluctantly when the chief wants him to do something?
I just want to express my loyalty. I don't really want to come back to stand guard? ! '
Luo Chong looked at him with an embarrassed face and didn't say anything, and then said this.
"Okay, I won't really ask you to come back to stand guard. The tribe still has a lot of things to do now. It just so happens that the Jinwu Guard is not too busy now, so I want you to supervise a project, which is the future capital of our Han tribe.
A palace will be built there, which is my new home. At that time, the protection of the palace will be handed over to the Jinwu Guard. After all, the Jinwu Guard is my imperial guard on the surface, and the Jinwu Guard's camp will definitely be built in the palace in the future. So this is not only to build a new home for me, but also to build barracks for you Jinwu Guards. You have to be careful when you supervise."
Luo Chong said to You Zhi as he led You Zhi to a wing room in the backyard of the government office.
"Build a palace? Is the leader's new home called a palace?" You Zhi asked curiously.
You Zhi thought of countless possibilities. What tasks Luo Chong would assign him this time, but he never thought of asking him to supervise the construction site.
Besides, it was just a new home for the leader. How big could a home be? Even if it was ten times bigger than the one Luo Chong was living in now, it wouldn't be a big project for the Han tribe, right? Does such a construction site need him, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, to supervise it? Or is there something special about this project that only the Jinwu Guard can do?
You Zhi couldn't figure it out, so he could only follow Luo Chong and walk slowly towards the wing room. Since Luo Chong asked him to be the supervisor, he would definitely tell him the details, right?
"Yes, my new home is called the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Palace is my home, but it's not just my home. There is also the largest administrative agency of our Han tribe, which will be built together with the Imperial Palace. Do you understand what I mean? This administrative agency, after it is established in the future, will directly control the operation of all affairs of the entire Han tribe. Even local officials such as the county governor and the governor will have to obey the arrangements issued by the central government.
Come, follow me to take a look. The model of the Imperial Palace is in this room."
Luo Chong introduced and led You Zhi into the wing room.
The wing of the government office was not small. In the middle of the main hall was a huge sand table. Surrounding it was a simulated plain from the west of Takuhai County to the grassland Honghu Lake. On the plain, next to the river, there was a simulated capital city. This was the imperial palace.
When You Fu saw the models, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. Because there were city walls, gates, and the bridge for dismounting, he could clearly see the actual proportions of the buildings in the imperial city. He imagined himself standing under the gate, and then looked up at the Hanyuan Hall in front of him. Only then did he understand why the leader asked him to supervise the construction of this so-called "home".
This, this is really a home? !
Isn't this too big? !
In terms of scale, a royal city alone is several times larger than all the existing cities of the Han tribe. And this is just the home of the leader. Outside the home of the leader is the real capital city. How big would that capital city be? !
I'm afraid that if all the current population of the Han tribe were moved in, it should be easy to fit.
"Greetings, Chief." Just as You Zhi was staring at the model in a daze, several craftsmen in the wing room quickly put down their work and stood up to salute Luo Chong.
Luo Chong waved his hand casually and said, "You guys continue to work on your things. I'll bring someone to look at the sand table."
"Yes!" Mo Xin and others responded, and then continued to work. The six carpenters in their original team have now expanded to thirteen people. They found a painter from somewhere, two carpenters specializing in architecture, two stonemasons, and two bricklayers to form this new team.
The carpenters are responsible for the theme of the building, the painters and stonemasons are responsible for carving beams and painting buildings, as well as various artistic sculptures, so as to create the beauty of the building. The bricklayers also carved the appearance of floor tiles with wood.
That's right, in this palace, even the floor tiles for paving the square are not flat, but have to be carved with patterns.
Of course, this kind of brick is generally laid in a courtyard in the palace, or on the road outside a hall. It is impossible to pave all places with such bricks.
However, the cost of such bricks is not much more expensive than ordinary bricks. The main reason is that the materials and firing processes are basically the same. It is nothing more than carving a batch of molds with prefabricated patterns first.
After greeting the craftsmen, Luo Chong continued to introduce to You Zhi.
"This is the model of the capital city. The capital city is divided into three areas according to different functions. The top one is the imperial city, which can also be called the imperial palace. In front of the imperial palace is the government office area, which will be the office of various departments. The area outside is called Guocheng, which is where the people live. What
I am asking you to be responsible for now is mainly the construction of the imperial city and the government office administrative area, among which the imperial city is the most important.
The part of the model that you have seen that has been made is basically still the former dynasty. The imperial palace can also be divided into four major parts according to different functions. One part is used to discuss tribal affairs with officials, also called the former dynasty. The back of the front and back is the back garden for living, but the model is not yet fully completed, and nothing can be seen in the back garden.
Then there are the East Palace and the West Palace on the left and right, one is for children to live, and the other is for the elderly to enjoy.
And the base of your Jinwu Guard is in this courtyard behind the West Palace, which is also considered part of the imperial city." Luo Chong pointed to the palace model in the sandbox and introduced it to You Zhi.
In terms of the distribution of the capital, because Luo Chong was going to build an industrialized city in the future, he did not intend to build walls for the outer Guocheng, because as an industrialized city, if there were no train stations and trains in the city, what kind of industrialization would it be?
The wall would block the enemy, but it would also block the process of industrialization.
That's why Luo Chong only built walls for the imperial city and the administrative district of the government offices, but not for the outer Guocheng.
This structural layout is a bit like a modern capital. The Forbidden City of the previous dynasty had walls, but the outer areas where the people lived had no walls. It's impossible to build a few doorways specifically for trains to pass through, but if you really do that, what's the point of building the wall?
"The chief's house is really big, but apart from the halls used for discussing things in the previous dynasty, the residential area in the back garden is not that exaggerated.
This project is really too big. A capital like this will probably take more than ten years, a generation of people to build it completely, right?!" You Zhi couldn't help but sighed.
"It is impossible to build the entire capital in one go, but the imperial city is not that complicated. The task I assign to you this time is mainly to supervise the construction of the imperial city. It is estimated that it may take one or two years to collect materials, and two or three years to build. However, I hope that this palace will be built within five years! This should be no problem, right?" Hearing You Zhi complain that the capital is too big, Luo Chong immediately explained.
To be honest, the capital is a bit big, but it is not a place for him alone. Besides, it is still too early to build the capital. Even if it is really built now, it is estimated that not many people will live in it.
Crowdfunding, crowdfunding, there are still 500 people left
