    The promotion department responsible for the expansion of Tokyo City was officially established, so Yang Yi had another promotion official position.

    He himself didn't know much about the specific matters of building the city, but it didn't matter. Academician Yang was not without talents. Shen Qingzhi was the first one to be picked up by him. That's right, it's you. Why is your father a scientist?  He is also a scientist.

    Even the specific selection of people to fill the promotion department was handed over to Shen Qingzhi. Because of his great achievements in regulating the Yellow River, Shen Qingzhi has now been moved to the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, a senior official of the fourth grade;

    He is what he is today, all because of Yang Yi's promotion, and Yang Yi also rectified his father's name. There is no need to say this kindness. If Yang Yi has an assignment, he will naturally complete it without complaint.

    Yang Yi took over the expansion mission, so of course he couldn't take it too lightly. He found all the information about Tokyo City and got familiar with it in the academy first, so that he could have a good idea.

    In fact, this is not the first time that Tokyo City has been expanded. The current Tokyo City is divided into the Imperial City, the Inner City, and the Outer City, and is surrounded by three layers of walls.

    The inner city was built in the second year of Jianzhong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 781), with a circumference of 20 miles and 155 steps, a total of 10 city gates and 2 water gates.

    After the Later Zhou Dynasty established its capital here, Kaifeng City became more prosperous than ever before, and the small inner city was overwhelmed. Therefore, in the third year of Xiande of the Later Zhou Dynasty (956 AD), the outer city was expanded.

    The outer city is nearly square in plan, 7.5 kilometers long from north to south and 7 kilometers long from east to west. It has 12 city gates and 7 water gates.  The city wall is 4 feet high, 5 feet 9 feet wide, and has 12 gates.

    There is the famous "Dragon River" trench outside the city.  More than 30 meters wide.  There are many weeping willows planted beside the ditch, and their silk willows are fluttering in spring and summer.  Forming a beautiful scenery.

    The layout of Tokyo City basically inherits the tradition since the Sui and Tang Dynasties.  But it is different from Chang'an and Luoyang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Unlike Chang'an and Luoyang, it was not built with complete planning and design, but was rebuilt on the basis of an old city.

    Coupled with the large urban population and the unprecedented prosperity of the commercial economy, these have had a significant impact on the layout of Tokyo.

    The main streets in Tokyo are the streets leading to various city gates: from Xuande Gate to Nanxun Gate; from outside Xuande Gate to the east to Tushizi, then turn north through Fengqiu Gate and extend to Yongtai Gate; from Zhouqiao to  It goes east through Lijingmen to Yangmen; from Zhouqiao to the west through Yiqiumen to Shuntianmen.  These four streets were called "imperial roads" and were used by the emperor to come in and out.

    The streets in the city vary in width.  The narrow streets are from twenty-five to fifty paces wide;

    It is as wide as the Imperial Street in front of Xuande Gate, which is more than 200 steps wide, about 300 meters. It is actually a square in front of the palace.

    But the length of Imperial Street is only about a thousand steps, which is about 1,500 meters long, with six yamen distributed on both sides.  In front of the government offices are various hawker stalls, which can be said to be the biggest feature of Tokyo. Not to mention the six government offices, there are also various shops outside the two provinces.

    There is nothing we can do about it, Tokyo¡¯s business is too prosperous.  It is no longer possible to strictly separate residential areas and commercial areas like Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Regardless of the outer city or the inner city, residential areas and commercial areas are mixed together.

    It¡¯s not just these shops with shops.  There are also a large number of temporary stalls along the streets and rivers, and even many small boats have been transformed into mobile shops, and there is something called a car boat on the shore.  They were paraded along the streets with animals pulling them, and all kinds of goods were available on the cars and boats.  The shouts came and went.

    In addition to the prosperous business, dignitaries gathered in Beijing.  There are countless homes of wealthy businessmen. These rich and powerful families often build mansions covering more than ten acres.  The city of Tokyo is only so big, so the phenomenon of "street encroachment" is becoming increasingly serious, and the streets are far less wide than shown on paper.

    Some streets were originally twenty or thirty steps wide, but if you invade a little, I occupy a little, and eventually they become narrow alleys.  It's quite suitable for men and women who have affairs.  Hmm, it seems that Grand Scholar Yang lived happily in a certain alley.

    The problem is that the streets are not for you to have an affair. Nowadays, the streets in Tokyo are full of traffic jams. In such narrow streets, most of the houses are made of bamboo and wood. If a fire breaks out, it will be serious. Although there is a submersible fire shop within a hundred steps in the city, and  There are special observation towers, but after a fire breaks out, it is often impossible to put out the fire, and the narrow streets cannot serve as isolation zones. Sometimes several squares are burned down when they burn down.

    Yang Yi has experienced a fire since he came to Beijing. It was a man-made arson. Fortunately, it rained that night and the fire was under control, so it did not cause extensive damage.

    Now that the capital is to be expanded, these issues must be taken into consideration.

    Shen Qingzhi quickly decided to expand the list of officials in the Tiju Division. Of course, this was only a preliminary list, consisting of twenty officials at all levels and eight experienced craftsmen in construction.

    ? ?As soon as Yi Yi handed over the official document, all twenty-eight people entered the Expansion Lifting Department.

    In terms of personnel deployment, Zhang Dun no longer deliberately obstructed. He proposed to let Yang Yi build the city. Apart from the accident of testing, he also believed that Yang Yi had the co-ordinating ability.

    And now that Yang Yi has taken the initiative to accept this assignment, it is tantamount to showing his attitude of giving in. If he continues to press harder, there is no doubt that Yang Yi will rebound violently.

    Among these twenty-eight people, many of them were known to Yang Yi. The first one was Wade, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry. His arrival made Yang Yi cough twice, and then his face became serious and inviolable.  He looked like someone was about to invade him.

    There is another person who surprises Yang Yi, Comrade Su Xiu, who will be the supervisor. This guy had been struggling all night for money, and Shen Qingzhi actually fell in love with him?  Yang Yi didn't pay much attention to this matter. He just asked the Su family's Xiaowu to come and practice with him.

    There is another person that Yang Yi is familiar with. He is Lieutenant Colonel Sima Bofang. This person is a top talent in architecture in the Song Dynasty. He presided over the construction of the Mingtang of the Imperial Palace. Yang Yi once chatted with him.  Several times, I knew that he did have real information, so of course I would not let him go. Sima Bofang was personally named by him to come over.

    The Expanded Lifting Department is located in a row of vacant buildings of the Ministry of Rites. Generally speaking, the Ministry of Rites is the most leisurely department among the six departments.  Usually only in the year when the Rites Examination is held, or during the Spring and Autumn Festival.  Only then will the etiquette department become busy.

    The Ministry of Rites has more than 300 houses, one-third of which are usually vacant.  Now these idle houses have been taken over by Yang Yi to use as office space for the expansion of the lifting department;

    Twenty-eight people, plus Yang Yi and Shen Qingzhi, totaled thirty people, occupying nearly a hundred houses. They looked like lonely ghosts. When the officials of the Ministry of Rites passed by, there was always a look of ridicule on their faces.  the taste of.

    Yang Yi didn't care about other people's eyes. As soon as this group of core members arrived, he immediately gathered everyone together and said: "Everyone should know what I am doing by sending you here. I will stop talking nonsense. Now I will say  Assign specific tasks. Within three days, I will see a detailed expansion plan, which must include the overall plan, the order of construction, the number of workers, how long the project will take, and how much budget is required. You all need these.  List them one by one to me within three days so that they can be submitted to the court for review as soon as possible."

    When everyone heard this, their nerves suddenly became tense. There were too many things to consider when expanding the capital. It would be too difficult to complete the tasks assigned by Yang Yi within three days.  But no one dared to stand up and refute Yang Yi.

    Only Su Jiagoro was not afraid of power. He stood up and said: "I have something to remind the great scholar. The capital is the residence of the emperor. It is related to the luck of the dragon vein, and how to plan the yin and yang in detail. It is not up to the official to wait for this matter.  It doesn't matter what the bachelor says. You need to ask Si Tianjian."

    Yang Yi couldn't help but be horrified after hearing this. This time, it was all thanks to the Su family's Xiao Wu who reminded him that the theory of Feng Shui is still popular even in the 21st century, let alone nowadays.  "These boring things must be recorded in the annals of history in a grand manner;

    If he presides over the expansion of the capital and neglects Feng Shui, no matter what kind of famine occurs in the future, others will definitely blame him, saying that he destroyed the dragon vein Feng Shui. If he really gets to that point, the consequences will be disastrous, unless he really rebels.  , otherwise the end will be very disastrous.

    ???????????????????? Well, let¡¯s first ask those magicians how this expansion project is in line with Feng Shui.

    Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shen Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, you have stayed in Si Tianjian and you are more familiar with it, so you can go to Si Tianjian. What do you say when you get to Si Tianjian?"  You don¡¯t have to say anything, let them have the final say.¡±

    "I follow your orders, I will leave immediately." Shen Qing straightened up, bowed his head, and walked out quickly.

    Yang Yi said to the remaining officials with some boredom: "We can't decide the layout of the new city. You can make a preliminary idea about the details first. If Si Tianjian has news, he will send someone to the Academy to inform me."

    Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They didn¡¯t know the general layout yet. What other ideas could they have?

    Regardless of what they thought, Yang Yi left first. He said that he was really bored this time. Originally, he had rolled up his sleeves and was ready to do something big, but he was told that the project still needed "relevant departments"  Approval.

    ¡°And this ¡°relevant department¡± is also Si Tianjian, who specializes in playing tricks. This god¡¯s farts are extraordinary. Only the devil knows what plans they will come up with.

    Since we don¡¯t know, let¡¯s just wait.

    After that energy was interrupted, Yang Yi became lazy. After leaving the Ministry of Rites, he could notHis thoughts were on the Bachelor's College. Going west from Hengjie, one square behind the Ministry of Rites was Xingguo Fang. The extremely bored Bachelor Yang decided to go back to his new residence to put up a pillow and sleep.

    The two concubines and the princess in the new house definitely did not expect Yang Yi to come at this time. Yang Yi, as usual, did not let anyone inform him, and entered the backyard by himself. The courtyard was still quiet, and the pavilions and pavilions were locked.  streamer.

    Yang Yi walked to Ruan Rou's small courtyard and heard faint voices coming from upstairs. Yang Yi didn't pay much attention at first. Women, like canaries, will inevitably feel a little bored after being locked up for a long time. Several people  It's normal to have a bit of banter. Yang Yi smiled slightly and walked up the stairs with gentle steps.

    The second floor has one hall and two rooms. Yang Yi suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs. As soon as a little maid guarding the hall door saw his shadow, her expression immediately changed and she wanted to retreat in a panic.  ;

    Yang Yi immediately realized something was wrong and stretched out his hand. The little girl was so frightened that her feet were rooted to the ground, and she froze in place and shivered.

    At this time, Yang Yi also vaguely heard the suppressed moans of a woman coming from the room. He was not the ignorant Chu brother. As soon as he heard the gentle moans, he knew what was going on, and his eyes instantly turned cold.  Like a bayonet.
