"This...this...this...this is Dengzhou..."

A few days later, Zhang Yaozu followed Li Zhan and others to the newly built Dengzhou City... Looking at the towering Dengzhou City in front, Zhang Yaozu opened his mouth very much.

Because the Dengzhou City in front of me is really too similar to Chang'an City.

You know, he has been to Dengzhou before, that small town... My god is dirty and messy, but the newly built Dengzhou city is more than ten times better than Kyoto on the Japanese island.

Li Zhan looked at Zhang Yaozu's surprise and showed a slight look of pride, because this Dengzhou City was also Li Zhan's proud work, all of which were made of cement.

There are 10 kilometers in total.

The average city bricks on the walls of Dengzhou City are 45 cm long, 23 cm wide, 10 cm thick, and weigh dozens of kilograms. If these city bricks are connected one by one, they can be as long as 12,000 kilometers.

The thickness of grout is 1-2 cm. Calculated by the grout, the thickness, width and length ratio of the brick masonry is roughly 1:2:4.

Such proportions are easy to put together and are the most scientific shape.

The city wall is 12 meters high (according to general terms), which is about 5 meters;

The bottom width of the city wall is 16-18 meters, close to 7-8 meters;

The top width of the city wall is 12-14 meters, about 5-6 meters;

The horse face protrudes 11.5 meters above the city wall, which is 5 meters long;

The upper mouth of the city river at the Dengzhou city gate is 45 meters wide, close to 20 meters.

................

"How is it, Uncle Zhang, my city is good...!" Li Zhan looked at Zhang Yaozu beside him with a smile.

Zhang Yaozu on the side nodded in shock and said, "It's not just good. Your Highness's city is not as good as the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, and this Tang Dynasty and even other places, there will be no such majestic city as Your Highness."

Zhang Yaozu's words made Li Zhan laugh.

At this moment... In Dengzhou City, there were chariots and horses. Changsun Chong brought Changsun Huan, Du He, and Su Liangsi... Li Zhan's Dengzhou officials came. After seeing Li Zhan, under Changsun Chong's leadership, all Dengzhou officials bowed and shouted: "See Your Highness..."

"No gifts..." Li Zhan took the lead in helping Changsun Chong up and said, "Lizhi is here too, just behind. You go and take a look first. Let's talk about the others later."

"Oh...thank you, Your Highness!" Changsun Chong was very happy when he heard that his wife was coming.

After hearing this, he rushed to the back and went to find Li Lizhi. Following Li Zhan, he looked at Du He behind him and smiled, "Changshi Du, how about it... The prince misses you very much, do you want to transfer back to the capital?"

"Ah...!" Du He looked at Li Zhan and laughed: "Your Highness... The lower official is very good here. The lower official has gradually fallen in love with him here and is willing to follow him here for the rest of his life."

"Puff..." Li Zhan laughed: "Then Chengqian is going to be with Gu forever... But Gu is not afraid of him!"

Follow Li Zhan to Changsun Huan and said, "How are you?"

"Very good, thank Your Highness for your concern." Changsun Huan bowed.

Li Zhan nodded and said, "Uncle said he would go home even if he had time, as his relatives at home would think about it."

"Yes... Your Highness!" Changsun Huan bowed again.

"Call me cousin..."

Changsun Huan was stunned and said in a very touching way: "Cousin...!"

Finally, Li Zhan came to Su Liangsi and said, "The King of Han is over... Cui Shouzheng is coming back, and everyone knows his identity as a Gu, so you don't need to be confused anymore.

Follow Gu carefully... Gu will not treat you badly."

After Li Zhan finished speaking, Su Liangsi's face changed and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The criminal understands...!"

"Get up...you are not a criminal." Li Zhan smiled and helped Su Liangsi up and said, "Let's go... but take Gu but look at Gu's palace...!"

"As for orders..." Su Liangsi was moved and hurriedly stood up.

Li Zhan’s palace is the Qin Palace, which consists of two parts: the mansion and the garden. It is about 330 meters long from north to south and more than 180 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of ​​about 61,120 square meters. The mansion covers an area of ​​32,260 square meters and the garden covers an area of ​​28,860 square meters.

It is the largest building in Dengzhou City.

The mansion buildings are divided into three roads: east, middle and west. Each road is composed of a strict central axis and is composed of a multi-entry courtyard. The design of this courtyard was proposed by Li Zhan.

Because Li Zhan must have a warm feeling of the courtyard design.

The outside of the courtyard is surrounded by pink walls, green willows hang around, three hanging flower gate towers, and four-sided veranda. The corridors in the courtyard are connected, and the mountains and rocks are decorated. The entire courtyard is magnificent and luxurious, with a cluster of gardens and exquisite gardens. The backyard is full of roses, treasures, and a pool. The stream converges here and flows out of the garden. There is a white stone road that spans Qinfang Creek to reach the opposite bank.

Walking into the hall, there is a square lacquer lacquer about two meters high in the middle. There is a golden lacquer carved dragon throne on top. Behind it is a carved dragon screen. There are six tall golden pillars on both sides of the square platform. Each large pillar is coiled with a strong golden dragon. Looking up at the top of the hall, there is a huge carved dragon coiled dragon on the central caisson. A large silver-white round bead hanging from the dragon's mouth, surrounded by six small beads, the dragon head, and the bead is facing the Golden Lunar throne below. The colorful paintings between the beams are gorgeous, bright and pleasing to the eye. The red and yellow golden dragon pattern pattern, with two dragons playing with beads and single dragons flying; there are walking dragons, sitting dragons, flying dragons, submerged dragons, colorful, and the dragons are surrounded by flowing cloud flames.

In the Tang Dynasty, if you dare to use dragons like this, it should be the King of Qin Li Zhan.

"Your Highness... are you still satisfied with this place?" Su Liangsi asked confidently.

"Satisfied..." Li Zhan nodded with a smile, but even though he was satisfied, Li Zhan only rested for one night in Dengzhou City and did not have time to see the prosperous scene in Dengzhou City at this time.

There are more than 100,000 people in Dengzhou City now, among which the most merchants are. Because Dengzhou City is the largest trading city, Li Zhan gave the greatest respect for business. In Dengzhou City, if you do business, you will definitely be protected.

For example, in Chang'an City, it is absolutely impossible to bully aristocratic families. If you do business in Dengzhou City, as long as you are well-behaved, no noble families will dare to touch you. Because of this, the business in Dengzhou City is very prosperous.

The place that best reflects the prosperity of Dengzhou's business is that a very popular profession has emerged in Dengzhou, which is the delivery guy.

Of course, the ancient delivery guys were not as professional as today's delivery guys. In the hot summer, going out makes people evaporate, and the takeaway that can be delivered to the door naturally became popular. Ge You slid on the sofa and waited for the delivery guy to knock on the door. It was an indispensable part of the life of salted fish during the summer vacation.

Thanks to the convenience of transportation and the development of the Internet, the takeaway industry is booming at other times, except for the critical hit of garbage sorting.

In our minds, it was common for us to go out to eat when we were young without fire at home, but now the first choice has become to open the takeaway platform to choose. This change has actually happened in the past few years since smartphones became popular.

However, ancient people with exquisite life are not as unthinkable as we did more than ten years ago. Takeout is not a modern product. Lazy people have been around since ancient times, so takeout has existed since ancient times. After all, the principle of takeout is very simple. Just make it in the store and send it to a designated location. The only difference is the delivery range and time and payment method.

What does takeaway in Dengzhou look like? In fact, the outside of Dengzhou is basically the place where the store prepares food boxes and delivers them to customers' requests. Generally, there is no full-time delivery guy, and waiters or other employees can do part-time jobs. After all, takeaways in ancient times were not so popular, and those who could afford takeaway were still wealthy families. Usually, they only cook their own food in the kitchen. They need to have a banquet or want to change their tastes before choosing to order some food from the restaurant.

I am too busy doing business, spending a little money to save time in cooking. If I make a business, I will return any money. In Dengzhou City, there are tea shops, wine shops, noodle shops, fruits... oil sauce, rice, rice, fish, wax and other shops everywhere.

There are many home-cooked dishes and convenient fast food stores, more than hotels. In such a developed catering industry, how can you be worthy of yourself if you don’t order takeout?

More importantly, there are too many delicious foods in Dengzhou City, including meat soup, hoof clear soup, fish spicy soup, chicken soup, fish spicy soup, pig bone clear soup, mixed soup, and butterfly noodles, fried meat, fried meat, frozen fish, frozen meat, frozen duck, fried duck, fried fish, vinegar and other rice. There are also specializing in blood-dirty noodles, meat noodles, bamboo shoots, vegetarian bone noodles, braised bamboo shoots, vegetarian soup rice. There are also vegetable soup restaurants, which also sell fried tofu, fried fish, fried fish, fried eggplant, fried eggplant...!

Li Zhan really didn't expect that Dengzhou City sold more food than Chang'an. Later, I learned that Dengzhou City brought delicious food from its hometown because it was all from all parts of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the demand was high, so it became more and more.

If you eat more, the more takeaways, and the more takeaways, there is a small problem here. If you need to be delivered, you must keep insulated. Otherwise, the leftovers are leftovers and cold roasted when delivered to the customer, which is definitely a bad review. Therefore, insulation containers are indispensable. If you eat for a long time in winter, you also need a better insulation container. Otherwise, the colder you eat as you eat, the colder you will experience zero points. Our modern induction cooker, microwave oven insulation lunch boxes are available. What did the ancients use?

First of all, it is necessary to deliver takeaways, so food boxes are the best choice. This food box appears very frequently in many costume dramas, so everyone should be familiar with it.

The food box is divided into several layers, and you can put a lot of food in different categories. If conditions permit, it is also very exquisite and plays a basic insulation role.

The ancients had long discovered the heat insulation effect of air down. Putting down in the food box can effectively keep the heat in there.

If you want to go a step further, you can choose a warm plate. The principle of this warm plate is similar to the principle of keeping food in many university cafeterias. It is to release hot water below to ensure the temperature of the dishes above.

The warm plate is a double layer, and the heat preservation effect is very good with hot water in the middle. You can enjoy taking out with a food box. There are also interlayers, bowls and cups, etc., which are very useful.

If you eat at home, there will be more insulation containers, less portable and unfired requirements, so there will be more options available. The more common ones are warm cauldrons and dyeing furnaces. These are all large items, and the insulation method is very violent: continuous heating.

But Li Zhan didn't care about these things at this time. The next morning, Li Zhan went to Dengzhou Shipyard, where there was a captain's ship that Li Zhan was going to go to sea.

There are twelve ships in total, which is really spectacular. A Changle ship can carry 700 people... In addition to the 6,000 Tiger Army, there are also some weapons that can be carried.

Plus six hundred sailors.

You should know that Zhang Yaozu's ship is 33.6 meters long and 9.2 meters wide. It is high in head and tail. It is divided into three layers. The whole body is mainly red and white. It is all made of wooden structures. Not only are sails, oars, anchors, rudders, etc., there are also a row of evil-proof harpoons and bronze bells displayed in the top floor for prayer.

Li Zhan’s Changle ship is more than twice that of Zhang Yaozu’s ship. To be honest, such a big ship really shocked Zhang Yaozu.

However, what shocked Zhang Yaozu even more was that Li Zhan even knew the nearest route to Wa Island that the route Zhang Yaozu used to be Nandao Road... that is, Kyushu headed south, along the Seed Island, Yakushima, and Amami Islands in the south, crossing the East China Sea northwest, landing at the Yangtze River estuary, and then heading north from the Grand Canal. This route mainly sails on the vast East China Sea, which is difficult to dock and is more dangerous.

Both North Road and South Island Road require about 30 days to sail, or even longer.

But after Zhang Yaozu contributed his route, Li Zhan shook his head and said that this sea route was not good. He followed Li Zhan to modify a route, set out from Dengzhou, cross the Yangtze River estuary, and then cross the East China Sea... radially northeast to reach the Five Islands Islands west of Jiuzhou!

In this way, this route can usually be reached in about ten days or even three days, but the risk of wind and waves is basically the same as that of Nandao Road.

The route that Li Zhan re-planned really shocked Zhang Yaozu. He looked at Li Zhan and asked, "You have never gotten into the sea, and no one from your shipyard has ever gone to the island of Wa. Why do you know the simpler route to Wa. "

However, Li Zhan did not answer Zhang Yaozu's question, but asked: "Uncle Zhang, after going to the Five Islands Islands, can you get a horse?

My Hu Ben Army needs horses.”

"The horse can get it, but this horse is not suitable for us?"

After Zhang Yaozu finished speaking, Li Zhan was surprised. Li Zhan didn't know what it meant to be unsuitable for us. Later, Zhang Yaozu also explained: "There are horses on the island of Japan, but the horses on the island of Japan are all ponies. The reason why they are called ponies is because their size is very short. How short are they? Some adult ponies can only grow to 85cm tall, or their heads are also counted as their height. They can only reach the knee height of a person with a height of 1.6m (almost equivalent to the size of a husky).

The best horse is called Muzawa... but it is mostly only 110cm tall, almost reaching the waist height of the modern ordinary adults. In fact, in a strict sense, this kind of war horse cannot be used as a war horse at all!"

The so-called war horse is called war horses, and the first thing to do is to meet a certain height. The tallest horse in the world is the British Sharma, with a shoulder height of more than 2m, which is simply a giant beast. The Mongolian horse used by Genghis Khan to sweep across the Eurasian continent was much shorter, with a shoulder height of only 135cm. However, although the Mongolian horse is not tall, its vitality is very tenacious and adapted to various harsh climates, it is very suitable for acting as a war horse. But no matter what, the figure of the Mongolian horse is still acceptable.

On the other hand, the Kiso horses on the Japanese island are really too short, with a total of only 110cm, basically a large husky, and it is almost the same for children to ride. How can we fight? If we really have to fight, let alone long-distance raids, the impact force will not meet the standards. No wonder Japan introduced a large number of European horses to improve the breed during the Meiji Restoration.

"This highness, I can only provide you with a thousand tall horses. This is my limit...!"

"Clam..." Li Zhan frowned slightly.
