Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 711 Residential Area

Li Shimin asked the one-armed security guard: "Can you go away? Take a look inside."

"Success!" The one-armed security guard called a security guard who happened to be patrolling here, and guarded the door instead of himself.

In the residential area, the one-armed security guard introduced them one by one.

"This is the donkey shed. The donkeys, mules and horses of each household should be put here. Fifteen yuan a month, cleaning up donkey dung, or feeding the donkeys. The minimum is fifty yuan a month, and the maximum is two hundred. Wen, look at the materials."

"This is the garbage table, and every family's garbage must be dumped here."

"This is a public garden in the residential area. Barbecues are not allowed, and flowers are not allowed to be folded at will."

"This is the baby nursery in the first district. If the dolls under the age of five are left unattended at home, they can be placed here during the day and someone will take care of them."

Here is the design of Liumu according to the standard residential area of ​​the old-fashioned original large industrial area in later generations.

So everything that can be found is available here.

When leaving the first district of Shengpingfang, Li Shimin asked for a silver coin weighing one penny from the guard of the Imperial Army and handed it to the one-armed security guard: "For those who celebrate the new year, I will give you the lucky money for your baby. Don't refuse."

"Thank you." The one-armed security guard took it without being polite.

Li Shimin went around the other places in Shengpingfang. There is also a medical hall, Mengtong's elementary school hall, and a small stadium with stands for thousands of people.

Then there are three-story small buildings in a row, a single-family three-story small building plus a small courtyard area, a main three-story sub-two-story courtyard area, and a two-story courtyard-connected residential area.

After turning around, Li Shimin stroked his beard: "I always feel like something is missing?"

"What's missing?" Liu Mu is also thinking hard. According to Liu Mu's thinking, this is already beyond the age. I can imagine the most reasonable effect of the dormitory area planning. It costs a lot of money to purchase and plant shrubs and flowers.

Going out from the entrance, Li Shimin looked at the opposite Yongchong Square, the gate was still closed.

A guard was sent to knock on the door.

The imperial guards knocked a few times, then looked in through the crack of the door and came back to report: "Saint, the door of that square might not be able to be opened. Looking in through the crack of the door, it was blocked by bricks and stones. For a long time, there has been a lot of garbage on the bricks and stones, and weeds have grown."

"Bastard!" Li Shimin was very upset.

This displeasure is not because he needs to take a detour to enter Yongchongfang, but because according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the officials of the workshop open the gate every morning and close the gate at night.The gate of the square should be open during the day, what does it mean to block the door with bricks and stones, and why should it be blocked.

After cursing, Li Shimin still had no choice but to make a detour into Yongchongfang.

The atmosphere in the two squares is completely different.

The largest single-family house in Shengpingfang is the main three-story and auxiliary two-story courtyard covering an area of ​​about two and a half acres. This kind of courtyard can be understood as a quadrangle courtyard, a long two-entry courtyard. This is the largest house that ordinary people can live in. up.

In Yongchongfang, however, there are big houses of more than ten mu, with ponds and gardens.

Nothing compares to streets, environment, and greenery.

Li Shimin didn't bother to look at the expressions on the faces of the people living here in Yongchongfang. After entering the workshop, he went straight to the east gate of the workshop.

There is a pile of rocks, dirt, and garbage inside the square gate.Especially the dead grass on the garbage, which has obviously been piled here for a long, long time.

"Why?" Li Shimin asked to himself.

Liu Mu said beside him, "Then ask the Fang officials to ask?"

"No!" Li Shimin shook his head, and signaled the four imperial guards to go and inquire. In the end, only three of the four left, leaving one to continue as the guard.

Without much effort, the three guards came back.

The three said three reasons.

"Saint, some people said that because people from Shengpingfang came and bought all the wine in the wine shop here, some fighting broke out, and then someone blocked the door with bricks and stones."

"Sage, what I'm asking about is that people from Shengpingfang come here to steal vegetables."

"Saint, what I heard is that the gate of this square is the bricks and stones piled up by people from Shengpingfang, because they don't want people from Yongchongfang to ride in their carriages."

There are three reasons, none of which are reliable in Li Shimin's opinion.

Leaving aside the crime of private gambling, just saying these reasons is too childish.

"What's the real reason?" After Li Shimin asked this question, he ordered: "Come over to the Fangguan."

But Liu Mu said: "Actually, there is no need, look there?"

Looking in the direction of Liu Mu's finger, Li Shimin saw several children hitting Shengpingfang with slingshots.At this time Liu Mu said again: "What do children know? It's not what adults teach by example. Did the second brother notice that all the big houses here in Yongchongfang are idle, and these residents are not ready to cook at this hour .”

Let Liu Mu say this, Li Shimin found that it was true.

At this time Li Shimin said suddenly: "I remembered that there is nothing in Shengpingfang. There is no vegetable garden. In many workshops in the south of Chang'an, there are vegetable gardens wherever there is space, but there are gardens and a few fruit trees."

"Neither here."

"why?"

"Because this is Yongchongfang. If the second brother is interested in taking another look at Xinchangfang, it will definitely be more interesting to find the answer by yourself."

After listening to Liu Mu's suggestion, Li Shimin didn't intend to call the Fangguan again, but went to Xinchangfang immediately.

In Chang’an City of Tang Dynasty, inside Yanxing Gate, south of the street to the west, there are three middle squares of Shengdao, Shengping, and Yongchong, then three squares of Jing’an, Jingshan, and Chongye in the central area, and then four big squares in the west of the city .

In the north of Yanxingmennei Street, the three Zhongfang are Xinchang, Xuanping and Yongning.

Shengpingfang is two new residential districts in Chang'an planned by Liumu. Because buildings are built here, and this is not an aristocratic area, and there is no noble ten-acre courtyard, the livable population is more than ten times that of the original one.

Another residential area is Yong'an Square in the west of the city.

Shengdaofang and Yongpingfang are two collective chemical workshop areas built by Liumu. There are a large number of joint-stock workshops with more than a hundred people who can already use some efficiency-enhancing tools.

Xinchangfang is just north of Shengdaofang, next to it.

Speaking of this Xinchangfang, when the poet Bai Juyi was an official in Chang'an, he rented an old house here during the rental stage, which is an old house with several acres of bamboo forest.

But right now, there is no bamboo forest here at all.

Entering Xinchangfang, it is another scene. There are extremely dense shops along the street, and there are even shops that break through their own walls and only open a small door, and then hang the shop sign.

Different from Shengpingfang, Shengpingfang is full of signs saying that it will be closed for several days during the New Year’s celebration. All the shops here are booming, and the places to eat are crowded. Even if you don’t eat, you still want a bowl of tea. When I came in to eat, I was quite familiar with the people who were sitting here before. I said hello and squeezed a place to eat with a bowl.
