Chapter 710 The location of the new city is the meaning of Luoshen's manifestation
"Sikong's rhythm of 'sand mixing' is really good, and he is not fast or slow; Aliang's checks on missing and flaws are also remarkable. In just half a month, there can be obvious changes in the customs and hearts of Luoyang.
Moreover, the locals have not yet made it clear that the locals have rebounded. The rights and responsibilities left over from history have been confirmed and the disputes have been resolved well. They have also used these matters to transfer locals' unwillingness to the government to outsiders."
On the 14th day of the first lunar month, the day before the Shangyuan Festival, Zhuge Jin, who had been on short leave for a few days and was about to work hard again, came to the former site of Shangshutai in Nangong, Luoyang to celebrate his holiday with his superiors.
After a quick look along the way, Luoyang's atmosphere and people's hearts changed significantly more than half a month ago, which naturally made Zhuge Jin amazed.
Today's visit was a little special, so he specially brought his family to pay New Year's greetings - because Zhuge Jin's wife Zhen Rong is the fourth sister of Li Su's concubine Zhen Mi. During the Chinese New Year and holidays, it is appropriate to let the female relatives gather together, and it is appropriate to be in love and courtesy.
After the three older sisters of the Zhen family got married, Liu Bei advised Li Su to accept the fourth brother. At that time, Li Suming looked for other excuses to refuse and waited for four more years. In fact, he thought Zhen Rong was not as beautiful as the fifth sister, and there was no other reason.
Nowadays, this may make ordinary people feel embarrassed when they think about it. The wife they married was rejected by Li Su.
But as long as Zhuge Jin himself doesn't feel embarrassed, it's no big deal. He thinks that Li Sikong wants to be a saint, and Li Sikong's concubine and his wife are sisters, so there is no problem of face and magnanimity.
Zhuge Jin watched and visited thoughtfully, and soon arrived at the place, the original site of the Shangshu Deck on the edge of the Nangong Palace.
Of course, this place had been changed to another official office as early as the Second Yuan took control of Luoyang. After Li Su came to Luoyang, he renovated and renovated it and changed it to the future Sili Governor's Office.
Li Su is not considered a big project, but mainly paints it to remove the bad luck and desolate atmosphere.
As for Sikong Mansion or Prime Minister’s Mansion, Li Su had not planned to immediately build it in Luoyang.
As soon as it comes, there is a Sikong Mansion in Chang'an. Before Liu Bei had officially moved back to Heluo, Li Su was a bit taboo to build another Sikong Mansion in Luoyang.
Secondly, that thing is so shabby and indecent, it is so good that it is also a waste of money. It would be better to wait for another year, and when he officially becomes prime minister, the people around Luoyang will be completely settled and idle, and then make plans.
Zhuge Jin's carriage did not get off at the door of the mansion because he was carrying his female family. Instead, he took the side door and drove directly into the inner courtyard.
This was also unique to Li Su. He and his brother Zhuge were not seen outside. Li Su received a notice and personally received the wise and wise men in the inner courtyard.
When Li Suhuan saw Zhuge Jin and his party, he looked happy, and there seemed to be good news to show off:
"Tiyu must drink a few more drinks today, not getting drunk, stay overnight if he drinks too much, and it doesn't matter if he leaves after the Chinese New Year tomorrow."
Zhuge Jin smiled cautiously: "Sikong Yixing Fei, isn't there any exciting news recently?"
Li Su Nie smiled: "It's almost the same, it's a surprise, and it's reasonable. Didn't I always ask for talented people to recruit talents before, wanting to find talented people who are proficient in craftsmanship to participate in the planning and design a new tribute school, and then plan the Luoyang New City.
There were always some technical difficulties in violating, so I couldn't make up my mind to choose a site. Early this morning, the craftsman worked as a Huanjie to report, saying that there was a suitable candidate, and also sent a set of simple schematic sketches and explanations.
I saw that there was something really, so I summoned me to the mansion to make a detailed statement. It should have been around the afternoon. Let's talk and drink first. You don't have to be polite. Mi'er has been waiting in the inner house for a long time."
Li Su's last half of the sentence was of course said to Zhuge Jin's wife Zhen Rong.
Zhen Rongying bowed down and said, "There are no shortages of etiquette, and took the maid alone to the side courtyard."
Li Su and Zhuge Jin went to drink and talk about government affairs without mentioning it.
...
Zhen Rong came to the side courtyard and was still a little nervous. He was excited to see his sister soon, and was worried that he would be rude in front of other women in Sikong's mansion because of his excitement. He was also afraid that if he met Li Su's mansion, he would be disharmonious and his wife and concubines would fight.
After Zhen Rong married Zhuge Jin, because of Zhuge Jin's career history, she served as the prefect of Shu County and the governor of Yizhou in the past five years, and has been living in Chengdu. So she and the other four sisters of her mother have not seen each other for more than four years.
It is now the first month of 199, and Liu Bei's camp went out to Sichuan to attack Guanzhong at the end of 194. Chen Cang, who was captured in early February of that year, and Chang'an, which was captured before the end of May, took over the court officials and female relatives one after another after the autumn harvest in the second half of the year. It has been more than four years since then.
"I hope my sister doesn't suffer... But I remember when I was in Wuji, my brothers stayed with Cai's family to study books. My sisters had a good time with Sister Cai. I think I wouldn't treat my sister badly now.
At that time, Sister Cai had the best relationship with her elder sister. After all, the other sisters were still too young. They couldn't even understand the "Theory of Refuting Disasters and Disasters", "Theory of Blessings in the Palace", and "The Questions of Cai Ligong" that they compiled at that time. The elder sister was already a little knowledgeable and willing to listen humbly. Sister Cai liked to talk to her at that time...
Alas, it has been twelve years. At that time, my elder sister was only thirteen years old and four years old. It seems like a different life. But my younger sister is not bad now, at least better than my elder sister back then, and she is also sensible. If Sister Cai was still the temper of making friends with talent, she should have lived a good life..."
After just a few dozen steps of fun and watching, Zhen Rong had a "nearby feeling" in his mind, and he had so many thoughts.
Of course, on the other hand, it is because the Lantern Festival decorative lanterns hanging in advance in Li's mansion are indeed dazzling, which makes the young woman who loves beauty stop accidentally several times.
The maid who led the way in Li's house did not urge him, but only thought that the female guest was greedy for looking at the lanterns.
There is no doubt that Zhen Rong's entanglement was completely in vain. Because Li Su's back home did not have so many dirty things.
Mainly, during this period, Cai Yan and Zhen Mi have been thinking about their respective affairs every day, big careers, and are open-minded and have no energy to do trivial things.
There were not many women who thought about big things in this era, but only when they arrived at Li Su's mansion, the environment was found.
Zhen Rong was distracted and suddenly woke up by a greeting.
"Xiaoqiao, let you take Mrs. Zhuge in, how could you wander here? I lost the courtesy of hospitality. Mrs. Zhuge quickly asked."
Zhen Rong looked up and found that it was Zhou Ying, one of Li Su's concubines, who was talking. Next to Zhou Ying was a girl with a much different appearance. Although she hadn't seen each other for four or five years and had a great change in appearance, it was obviously her younger sister Zhen Mi.
Zhen Mi is very good at being a human being. Although it is necessary to be scolded for neglecting the female family of a foreign guest, this foreign guest is her own sister, so she is unable to scold the bridge where she is a maid guide.
In particular, Zhen Mi also knew that although Ohashi was a criminal official and confiscated his female family and became a slave, he was also favored by his husband. In terms of appearance, Ohashi was second only to Zhen Mi.
Zhen Mi usually doesn't even blame ordinary maids. If she only criticizes the most beautiful person besides her, she will easily be gossiped behind her.
But Zhou Ying does not have this kind of closeness and distant concern. She can appropriately preside over the etiquette and decentness of the Li family.
In addition, Zhou Ying called the "small bridge" of the bridge, which is normal.
Just like a maid named Wang was called "Xiao Wang" by her mistress. Even if she was the eldest in her parents' home, she was still "Xiao Wang". Who cares about you after she became a slave?
Zhen Rong smiled stiffly: "I am greedy for the beauty of the lanterns in the mansion, so I don't have to blame Miss Bridge."
Zhen Mi then took the opportunity to speak, and came up to hold the fourth sister's hand: "Sister likes it, I'll take some back tomorrow. Our lanterns are all full, some are disposable, and there are also fireworks in the middle. It will look good when you light it at night, but it will burn it after lit it."
Zhen Rong was still in a daze for a few seconds, feeling the back of her younger sister's hand, the fresh and tender tender scent, and the light fragrance of orchids. Even if she was a woman, even if she was a familiar sister in front of her, she was still a little unreal.
Zhen Rong thought to himself: "It's incredible that my little sister hasn't seen each other for four or five years. She's so unbelievable. Although I thought she would definitely be a fairy-dew pearl in the future and her appearance is extraordinary, I never thought she would be this level..."
In a daze, she had been pulled into the inner room, and then she saw Cai Yan sitting thoughtfully on the desk, flirting with her eyebrows and holding a pen, discussing something with Huang Yueying next to her.
Zhen Rong was afraid of disturbing the other party's serious matters, so he didn't speak. But Huang Yueying was quick-eyed and immediately greeted her, reminding Cai Yan. Cai Yan took back his thoughts and gently signaled Zhen Rong to sit there:
"Arong is sitting here soon. I haven't seen you for a few years. Oh, Yueying, don't be busy. Today you are a guest. Just ask the maid to pour tea for your sister-in-law."
Huang Yueying wanted to lower her identity and refused to let Cai Yan's maid make tea. Instead, she hinted that the little bridge that served her had poured tea for Zhen Rong - this little bridge is a real little bridge, which is Zhuge Liang's concubine.
Zhen Rong took the tea and asked for advice kindly: "What did Mrs. Li write? Mrs. Li is really a world-famous talented woman. She is really a day-to-day approaching, and she is always writing."
Cai Yan waved his hand: "What is Mrs. Li's shortness? Everyone has known each other for more than ten years, so they are still called Sister Yan. After all, these things are about the men outside, and I don't want to talk about them too much-
A few days ago, my husband was thinking every day that the location of Luoyang New City would be finalized. He planned to choose the eastern suburbs of Chenggao, where the Luo River entered the northern bank of the mouth of the Yellow River, and close to the eastern slope of the Shandong Mountain.
However, after so long, some problems cannot be solved. The eastern slope of Mangshan is not rugged, and it is easy to flatten the terrain. It does not occupy good land suitable for farming, and can restore the valley plain to the fields.
Only the new city will be built on a platform that is much higher than Luoshui. In the future, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will not be able to draw water. If this problem cannot be solved, I will not dare to make a decision.
As for choosing a narrow lowland by the river, it is not appropriate, and not only is it afraid of occupying arable land. Although it is much more convenient to obtain water like this, the Yellow River is not as good as Luo River. The water level fluctuates and falls every year. Dikes need to be built on both sides of the Yellow River. The city is built in low-lying places that are easy to obtain water. It is cheaper and easy to suffer from floods. You have to worry about dikes every day.
There is not good news today. It is said that some famous craftsmen from Liangzhou from Jincheng County came to Luoyang to announce the list. They also said that those people participated in the Liujiaxia Water Conservancy in Jincheng County a few years ago and also visited several famous workers in the Western Regions to discuss. The combination of Chinese and Western can solve the problem of Luoyang's new city being built on a high place and still convenient to use the water used by millions of people.
The husband was overjoyed, and then he fell ill and dared to shoot this board. However, before the new city announced its location, he was still worried that the locals would be dissatisfied. The hundreds of thousands of people and officials in the old city of Luoyang were dissatisfied with the relocation.
After all, after the official announcement of the new city, it will lead to the future of houses in Luoyang City, and housing prices will also drop. Although those people cannot make trouble, try to win over and comfort them as much as possible."
Cai Yan sighed helplessly when she said this. Zhen Rong kept listening carefully and patiently, but seeing that Cai Yan seemed not to say anything, she had to support her and ask: "What does this matter have to do with you, Sister Yan?"
Cai Yan was stunned and smiled indifferently: "Hi, look at me distracted and I haven't finished speaking. It's like this - my husband didn't know how he had a whim, saying that since he was going to move the new city to the location where Luoshui River flows into the Yellow River, he would cruise along Luochuan.
It is said that when the Luo River entered the yellow water, I saw the Luo God appearing at dusk. I informed him of the River Map and Luo Book that Luoyang had a long disaster, which was because the Luo River and the fire virtues of the Han Dynasty were alternating. Although Emperor Guangwu changed Luo to Luo during the reign of Emperor Guangwu, I still couldn't hold on for a long time.
To be safe in Luoyang for a long time, we need to build a new city on the high mountain, to lead Luo into the Huang place, and to stay away from the water surface of the Heluo River, so that we can achieve a thousand years of stability. My husband knows that I have good writing skills, so I will write this poem that praises him for his appearance in the next two days. Maybe someone will also have a portrait of the poem."
Zhen Rong seemed to understand but then came over to look at it. Sure enough, Cai Yan put a poem on the table that had not been finished and had many blank spaces. He just filled in many beautiful sentences with a flash of beautiful words, but the real thing was not filled in.
At the beginning of the long scroll, the title of the three big characters "The Goddess of Luo River" has been written first, which is obviously a topical composition.
Obviously, when Li Su arranged a task for Cai Yan yesterday, he did not have any psychological burden on Cao Zhi. Anyway, Cao Zhi would never be able to write "The Goddess of Luo River" in his life, and he would not have the chance to get inspiration and materials. Instead of wasting a piece that could not have appeared, it would be better to make a little use of it.
After all, Li Su has been traveling through time for so many years. He could not have recited such a long and difficult article as "The Goddess of Luo River" in full text, and now he can't remember it even more. So he just knows about a dozen famous sayings and aphorisms with gorgeous rhetorics and appearance descriptions, and Cai Yan wants to think about other plays.
Besides, the deeds of encountering God are completely different from those in history. The oracles that God of Luo wanted to convey are also different. Even if they can be memorized, they cannot be copied.
Therefore, in the entire film of the Goddess of Luo River, only the part of the appearance of the Goddess of Luo River was copied by Li Su, and the others were originally written by Cai Yan.
Zhen Rong didn't know these details. She pretended to say a few words in her goodwill of flattering Cai Yan, and sincerely praised her:
"...As graceful as a storm, as gentle as a dragon, glorious autumn chrysanthemums, lush spring pine, as if it is as light clouds covering the moon, floating like the wind returning to the snow, as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow, as bright as the hibiscus ripples out of the waves..."
"... The slimness is medium, and the length is short. If the shoulders are slim, the waist will be as plain as possible. The neck is stretched and the neck is beautiful, and the white texture is revealed. The fragrance is unpleasant, and the dew is not shining. The red lips are bright outside, the white teeth are fresh inside. The bright eyes are good, and the cheeks are supported..."
"Sister Yan's literary talent is truly a talented woman, even if the princess is far away."
Cai Yan was covered in black lines: "...I didn't write these sentences! But they were all thought by my husband. It was so stingy. If he was not a lustful person like him, how could he think of the rhetoric of describing the goddess's beauty like this? Let me write it, at least ten times more elegant and quiet!"
