The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 58 Building Bagua Village
As the sun set, Li An, Li Duoduo, Liu Fangzi, Liu Yi, Liu Huzi, Liu Yiyi, Qin Ying and others left Chang'an City together and were heading to Lijiacun. In the distance, there were wisps of blue clouds and soft glow, looking back Facing Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the city walls were hidden among the lush foliage of green trees. Li An sighed a little, because it was like the long river of time flowing quietly here.

A city wall protects all directions. At dusk, the city wall looks like a warrior wearing golden armor.

The gray of the ancient bricks and the golden color of the setting sun complement each other, making it magnificent and magical. Looking at the dusk and feeling the dusk, your tired body and mind are completely relaxed at this moment.

The carriage was driving on the official road, and pedestrians on both sides were also in a hurry. Some were rushing to their homes outside the city, and some wanted to rush into Chang'an City immediately to find a place to stay before the curfew.

Li An smiled slightly. After a thousand years, who would have thought that he, a modern person, would appear in the Tang Dynasty a thousand years ago, bringing his daughter with him.

"Brother Fang Zi, how long do we have before we can get home?" Li An asked Liu Fangzi, who was driving ahead.

"Lang Jun. In less than half an hour, the carriage was bumpy. I didn't dare to go too fast, but I couldn't bump the little lady." Liu Fangzi replied.

"That's good, the vegetables we bought won't go bad, right? There's a lot of mutton?" Li An asked.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, it won't go bad. We will roast these muttons when we get them back. The craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry will thank us in Lijia Village. How have they ever eaten such good mutton?" Liu Fangzi smiled slightly.

At this time, Li An smiled with satisfaction. The craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry have been busy in Lijiacun for a long time. Don't tell me, leaving professional matters to professionals is the most correct thing.

After Li Zhi sent over the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, these craftsmen were very professional and immediately helped Li An plan the prototype of a village. However, Li An did not agree because Li An had his own village shape.

This village is Bagua Village.

Why did you choose Bagua Village to build it? First of all, this period is ancient, not modern. Even in the Zhenguan period, bandits were still rampant in this ancient time. If you build an ordinary village, it will be easy to be robbed by bandits. This is not Li An’s idea. To be seen.

Li An was lucky enough to visit Bagua Village once, and he was invited by one of his comrades in arms. Li An's comrade-in-arms was a villager in Bagua Village. Li An felt very strongly when he went to Bagua Village that time.

The terrain around Zhuge Bagua Village is like the bottom of a pot, low and flat in the middle, and gradually higher around.Water from all directions gathers at the bottom of the pot to form a pond, which is the bell pond.Zhongchi is the core of Zhuge Bagua Village, and also the base point for laying out the "Eight Diagrams".

The bell pond is not big, but half of the pond is water and half is land. It is shaped like Tai Chi in the Nine Palaces and Bagua Diagram, which is very wonderful.With Zhongchi as the center, there are eight alleys extending in all directions, leading directly to eight high mounds outside the village. Their planes resemble Bagua diagrams.

The alleys gave rise to many narrow alleys connected horizontally. There are thousands of households in the alleys, and many ancient dwellings are dotted here and there.The alleys close to Zhongchi are relatively straight, but gradually become more zigzag as they extend outwards. Many alleys are connected vertically and horizontally, like a maze.

When outsiders enter the alleys, it is often difficult to get in and out, or even get lost.Interestingly, the descendants of Zhuge Liang who have lived in the village for hundreds of years did not realize the wonder of the small village layout.

It was not until relevant records were found in an old book that this secret became known to the world.

Nowadays, as long as you climb the hill outside the town and look down and identify carefully, the shape of the Nine Palaces and Bagua of the entire village will be completely displayed in front of you. Its wonderful and unique layout is amazing.

Li Ang's comrades told Li An that during the Anti-Japanese War, a group of Japanese soldiers passed by Gaolonggang Avenue outside the village, but they did not find the village.Every household in the village is facing each other face to face, back to each other, and the lanes are vertical and horizontal, seemingly open but closed.When outsiders enter the village rashly, they often cannot get in without an acquaintance to guide them.

There used to be thieves who sneaked in, but after entering, they couldn't find a way out. As a result, they had no choice but to be captured.

Moreover, the design of Bagua Village is very reasonable. The people in this village make a living by selling medicinal materials. The young and middle-aged people are away from home all year round. It is particularly important to prevent fire, water, and theft at home.Therefore, many ancillary facilities have been set up in the building design to strengthen emergency protection.

Most of the gable walls are horse-head walls, which are about 1 meter higher than the normal walls. This way, even if a neighbor catches a fire, it will not spread.The hospital is generally equipped with fire-fighting facilities such as water tanks and pools. Once a fire breaks out, it can be put out immediately.In order to prevent disasters, courtyards generally have relatively complete drainage facilities, which are sophisticated and practical.

Originally, Li An did not want to build Bagua Village because he did not know whether the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty had this ability. What Li An did not expect was that Li Zhi actually sent craftsmen from the Ministry of Works. The craftsmen are definitely the top craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty.

After arriving, he prepared several prototypes of villages for Li An, which were also very technical. As soon as Li An saw the prototypes of the villages given by the other party, he knew the strength of the other party.

Then he took out the drawings of Bagua Village. Li An had studied this Bagua Village for a while and was really familiar with it. Therefore, Li An could quickly draw the layout of Bagua Village. Not only that, Ang Lee also drew every house.

This group of craftsmen also understood how to build it immediately. However, unfortunately, there are many things that cannot be built, such as the bell pool. Of course, this is not the focus and can be ignored. As long as the Bagua Village is built , Li An felt very good.

The craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry also told Li An that if he wanted to build his Bagua Village, he would need a lot of money, a conservative estimate of [-] to [-] guan.

To be honest, money is not a problem. Li An agreed immediately and started building the Bagua Village from the inside out so that people from Lijia Village could live in it. The first house was Li An's. It was built a few days ago. It is a masonry structure, two stories high, and it is also called a three-room two-story building.

Li An's room is a large room with three rooms and two rooms. There are three rooms in the main room and one room in each side room. There is a courtyard in the middle.

It is like a sealed "kou"-shaped Siheyuan. Its main house is called the upper room, and the three rooms built next to the courtyard are called the lower room.Feng shui masters say: There is a hall door in the foyer and a grand master wall in the upper hall. The planes of the two form the word "chang", which is good for making a fortune.

The building of the front hall and the back hall is a landing hall with a single floor, which is used for welcoming and receiving guests.The back is three rooms and two compartments, and there are buildings, which are living places for living rooms.The hall is located on the ground, high and spacious, very grand.

If this Bagua Village is completed, then this Bagua Village can accommodate up to 3000 to [-] people. If ordinary bandits want to attack, to be honest, they will basically come and go, but Li An is worried that it will cause trouble in Chang'an City. The emperor was worried, so Li An reported it early, hoping that Li Zhi would intercede for him and build this Bagua Village.

As long as this Bagua Village is built, then Li An will be more assured to let Li Duoduo stay here. This is the painstaking efforts of a father for his daughter.

"We're back!"

Liu Fangzi yelled before he came to Lijia Village. At this time, there were about 200 people in Lijia Village, and the construction was in full swing. Liu Fangzi liked this scene. After he yelled, the children rushed over together.

This scene is really beautiful.
