Chapter Two Pedestrians and Palaces
Before dawn, pedestrians packed their luggage, placed them on a donkey cart, and set off in a whole team.
Passers, conscripts, and conquer tourists are actually the same, that is, the soldiers who go to the expedition.
Liu Renyu took the last bite of Hu cake, wiped his hands, lifted up his horizontal knife, and escorted the people on the road.
"Be honest, don't be overstated." Liu Renyu looked at his escort and reminded him.
"You guys have never seen such noise before." A soldier cursed: "I'm not going to die, how can we make trouble?"
"Liu Ren is lucky and is still hanging out in the state army. Now he is so arrogant."
"His daughter became a widow and her family has plummeted. I want to see how he will be proud in the future."
"We are going to be a yamen soldier, why bother to be angry with this person?"
The military men were sarcastic and sarcastic.
Liu Renyu shook his head and did not care about them as much as he did.
There were 20,000 surrendered troops in Luoyang. The coach asked the Yamen Shanzhou Academy to send people to carry out rectification. After several months, they were almost honest.
After receiving the mission this time, Liu Renyu took three hundred state soldiers and escorted two thousand people to travel east to supplement the damage to the war.
In fact, it is not just Lao Liu. In the next period of time, a large number of surrendered troops will continue to travel eastward. The Shaanxi Academy will also allocate a group of trained new soldiers to Yun Town, which will be completely established in various departments.
After walking east for several miles, Luoyang was already far away.
The construction site of Qianjin Pond was crowded with people. As soon as the sky was dawn, more than 3,000 masters from Yanshi County had gathered here to dig ponds and ditches.
Qianjin Pond is a semi-artificial lake located at the intersection of valley water and stream water. It was originally a low-lying wetland. In the past six months, Henan Prefecture recruited Yanshi Master and dug it into a lake. After storing the water, it went east through a channel, flowed into Jiuzhou Pond in the palace, and then flowed out through a channel.
Jiuzhou Pond is ready-made and does not need much trouble. As early as last winter, Feng Wei, deputy envoy of the Dongdu Jiru Jiedu, recruited the Master of Henan County to clean up the dredging, basically restored the old view, and even expanded the storage capacity. This year, it is preparing to plant lotus flowers. In this way, Jiuzhou Pond can not only serve as a source of water for the palace city, but also a good viewing place.
There is also a reservoir south of Qianjin Pond. Originally, the old pond of Shangyang Palace (Autumn Pond), was formed by the water of the valley and Luo Water. It has not been taken care of for many years and is extremely dilapidated. When Shao Shude first met, he saw that the channel was silted, the pool was dry, the bottom of the lake was full of dead branches and leaves, and even many bones, so he ordered to rectify it.
After Feng Wei led the construction of Luoyang, he kept in mind the supreme instructions of King Xia and made the restoration of Luoyang's urban water system the primary task. Therefore, he recruited Luoyang County Master to clean up and dredge it, and now it is almost done.
In fact, there is a Wei Wangchi in the center of the city, now called Xia Wangchi. This lake has not dried up, but it has not been dredged for many years. All the surrounding ditches were handed over to the Master who was recruited from Gongxian to clean up.
Luoyang was once a garden city, because of its developed water system and numerous flowers, plants and forests.
Taking the above Yang Palace as an example, Wang Jian once wrote a poem: "The flowers and trees in the upper sun have never fallen, and the Luo River flows through the palace everywhere."
There are a large number of evergreen pine and cypress in the palace, and southern plants such as osmanthus and orange have been transplanted, so it is "unprecedented in autumn".
Yuan Zhen also wrote a poem: "I heard the sound of Luo River on the moonlit night, and the wind and lotus air were dark in the autumn pond."
In Shangyang Palace, you can hear the rustling sound of Luo River flowing, and the Qiuchi Reservoir is full of lotus flowers, and you can smell the fragrance.
This is a famous water-view palace complex. Emperor Gaozong ordered the construction. Because the scenery was too beautiful and the palace was too gorgeous, Wei Hongji, who was in charge of the construction, was impeached after the completion of the construction and was taken into custody and left office.
Renovating Qianjin Pool, Jiuzhou Pool, Qiu Pool, Xiawang Pool and many ditches is the main task in the past year. It is expected that this year will still be fought for this and restore the plant landscape next to the lakes and canals.
When Sun Ru caused disaster to Luoyang, the towering trees in the city were seriously damaged. Feng Wei planned to transplant large trees from the forbidden gardens in the west of the city to quickly produce them.
The Forbidden Garden is actually the Royal Hunting Ground, located in the west of Luoyang City. It is composed of a vast area of forests, grasslands, rivers and wetlands, and the scenery is also very beautiful.
Passers traveled east through the ruins of Luoyang.
Liu Renyu went to both sides to take a look. The dredging work of the canal was still continuing. There were ships sailing on the cleared river section, loaded with broken bricks and broken tiles and decayed wood, and transported them outside the city.
Broken bricks and tiles can be used to build roads, or to strengthen river embankments, ponds, Luoshui, Yishui, and valley water are not very gentle, and often floods, causing disasters in Luoyang City. These water conservancy projects are still very necessary.
It is really not easy to rebuild Luoyang, and it is better to build a new site. Liu Renyu knew that Luoyang City in the Han and Wei dynasties was on the east side, and was not in the same place as Luoyang City in the former Sui Dynasty and the state. Such a struggle, the corvee service of the people of Henan Prefecture could not be eliminated, and even people from other prefectures and counties had to be recruited to serve.
No wonder the Master of the Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou did not receive the order to be summoned after a year of war, and even some Zhengzhou Masters who participated in the reconstruction of Luoyang were not recruited.
New buildings have appeared in the cleaned-up place, but very few of them are attracted by Liu Renyu's attention. A palace with a weird style is attracted.
This hall is located on the southern edge of the Shangyang Forbidden City. At the front entrance, there is a large stone platform and steps. There are walls on both sides of the steps and craftsmen under the walls, which seem to be preparing to carve something.
Above the steps is a square dome building, not big. There are stone pillars in front of the building, and I don’t know how much manpower it has been spent. Liu Renyu had a vague impression that the captured Huai army, whom Deng Sui, ordered the captured Huai army to open the mountain to collect stones and transport it to Luoyang. Because the construction period was too harsh, the Huai people were suffering and many people fled into the mountain.
Alas, they are all helping poor people.
There are many stone pillars, and some people are carving patterns. There is a tower at each corner of the main hall, and there are colonnades between the towers. There are many windows in the main hall, and the upper edge of the window is also arched. There are also outdoor buildings such as gardens and pavilions around the main hall, and the styles are very strange.
Liu Renyu is not a person without knowledge. Bianzhou is the largest metropolis in Kanto, and there are many Hu people. As for the Sogdians, their appearance, clothing, and houses certainly have their own characteristics, and even the tombs are different from those of the Han people. In Liu Renyu's opinion, this small palace is fortunately located in a corner, otherwise it would have affected the overall beauty too much. Could it be that the King of Xia used it to privately store Sogdian, Uighur, and Tatar beauties?
The pedestrians continued to move forward, and in the palace where Liu Renyu had just complained about, Master Mani was "preaching" to his disciples.
"I call this an extubation of the circle." Master Mani pointed to a window and explained patiently.
He followed an assistant, holding a roll of paper in his hand, and drew many patterns on it with ink-dipped geese brushes, and the next one was full of numbers, Xia Wang said that these were Indian numbers and were very useful. Master Mani also thought so, and he also used these numbers to explain when teaching students.
What Master Mani is best at is actually the religious knowledge of gods and ghosts, but King Xia did not let him speak.
The second greatest skill is to be familiar with the language and scripts of Dashi, Turks, Persia and other places. This can be taught, and some people are learning it at present.
But what he valued most was geometric knowledge. He compiled a textbook, and after reviewing it, King Xia changed some of the terms and fixed them, such as points, straight lines, parallel lines, triangles, polygons, etc., and then published them into a book to teach them to the students.
There were more than ten people participating in the study of geometry knowledge, many of whom were from the Kansai "Queen Group". Master Mani taught very carefully, and at the same time he was surprised to find that King Xia actually knew more about these knowledge that he called "planar geometry". What did he do in the past? It was definitely not as simple as a warrior.
Geometry knowledge can be used in all aspects of life. For example, this building, which borrowed the name of Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty ("Hehuan Palace"), uses a lot of knowledge about plane geometry, which is also a valuable internship opportunity for students who have studied for several years.
Straight lines, circles, arcs, triangles, polygons, etc., are all given in terms of design, calculation, and combination. If one is not good, it will lead to quality accidents, so you will repeatedly calculate and modify the design until it is finally perfected.
King Xia really tried his best to promote geometry knowledge. Hehuan Palace was definitely not something he enjoyed, and Master Mani could testify.
Feng Wei, deputy envoy of the Dongdu Jiedu, was standing outside the hall with his brows frowned.
He was not interested in this palace and thought it was too ugly, so he even found reasons for this and delayed the allocation of manpower and materials.
However, with the intervention of King Xia, it continued in the end. The entire hall has entered the final stage and is now pasting glazed tiles. Painters have entered the interior walls and started to make murals. Some people carved reliefs on the exterior walls. The surrounding gardens and pavilions are also slowly under construction.
"The forest in the north of Hehuan Hall needs to be slightly bigger, and dig a small river to separate the broken hall. It's really ugly." Feng Wei looked up at the four pointed towers, almost covering his face.
"What triangle, cone, nonsense," Feng Wei sighed.
The aesthetics of the martial artists are really weird. But they still hold the handle of the knife, who dares to laugh? He wants to be willful, and others can only accompany him willful, and they have to smile and say yes.
