The ladies' motorcade also set off, and their destination was exactly the opposite of Yang Fan and others. They went to Guihua City, not Suiyuan City, a new city.
The three-story train station and square have a somewhat later-generation feel. The empty three-story lobby, floor-to-ceiling windows, marble floors, and large glass crystal chandeliers make the waiting hall very luxurious.
Because this is a wasteland, there is enough land, and the planned square area is a full square kilometer. It is a square square of one thousand meters square.
A 500-meter-square park was built in the middle, with lakes and various green areas. The four streets around it were planned with various government offices and functional buildings.
Directly to the north is the station, train locomotive and carriage maintenance shop, train engine garage, railway driver school, Eurasian Railway Mongolian depot, cargo yard, carriage parking lot, railway construction company, railway employee dormitories, etc.
The east and west sides of the square are planned commercial streets and cultural institutions. For example, a grand theater, a library, a dozen large hotels, warehouses, inns, etc., various five- and six-story commercial buildings, etc. Outside the commercial street are residential areas.
.
Directly south are various yamen. Suiyuan Governor's Yamen, Suiyuan Du Commandery Department, Suiyuan Chengxuan Government Envoy Department, Suiyuan Punishment and Prosecution Department, Suiyuan General's Mansion, Confucius Temple, Guishui Mansion School, Dacang,
Treasury, etc.
At this time, after more than a year of construction by more than 10,000 people, it has begun to take shape. Xiao Niangpi and others were very excited to see it. Although Guisui City does not have city walls, it has street lights and asphalt roads just like the new city. It is perfect.
The drainage facilities are very neat and clean, and the building is beautiful and looks very good.
As soon as they came out, they got on the carriage. The carriage team was already waiting in the square.
A special carriage waiting area has been planned at the exit of the station. Although Guisui City is still in the initial construction stage and has a small population, a fleet of fifty taxis and carriages has been arranged in advance.
Businessmen and travelers from other places can easily find carriages to go to various places after leaving the train station. Now businessmen from all over the country have come here one after another to engage in commercial activities. There are also workshop owners from the south to open various handicraft workshops. After all, the population is large.
After it develops, it will naturally need products from the handicraft industry.
In the past year, more than 10,000 migrant workers came to the south bank of the Dahei River to build a new city. The new city will no longer build city walls, and will have a completely open urban layout of later generations.
The entire population of Guisui City currently consists of more than 10,000 migrant workers, more than 8,000 Mongolian herdsmen, and 3,000 Han households that have moved in one after another. These people are mainly handicraftsmen and farmers. They provide vegetables and handicraft products to the city.
supply.
A cement road leads out from the square, passes through a wide bridge, and extends to the north of the river.
In the carriage, the ladies were very excited. This was their first time coming to the hinterland of Mongolia so far away. They were chattering excitedly along the way.
"Madam, is this the Celechuan? It's a place where the sky is clear, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind and you can see cattle and sheep." Chen Xi said excitedly.
The road is not very wide, with only four lanes, and is surrounded by pastures on all sides. The withered and yellow pastures undulate in the wind, looking like ocean waves from a distance.
"It should be right here. The water and grass are abundant, the land is fertile, and it is beneficial to agriculture and livestock. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the south of the Yangtze River outside the Great Wall. As long as the Houtao area is developed, it will be enough to feed a population of 500,000. The master said that there is coal and iron here
Ore, as well as cashmere, wool and copper ore. Mining and textile industries can be developed. There are also rich rivers and water sources. In addition to growing grain and horse feed crops, the climate is also very suitable for growing cotton. It is sufficient for the development of industry.
You need it." Xiao Niangpi said.
The land of ten miles was very short, and the carriage ran very fast, and soon we arrived at the foot of Guisui City.
It is written in Mongolian on the city gate, Kukuhetun, Xiaoniangpi and Lin Yueru all went to Mongolia on official business when they were working in Dongchang. They can all speak Mongolian and understand Uighur Mongolian. They can speak better than Yang Fan. They can read and write.
No problem either.
The ladies looked at the majestic city, the splendid arrow towers and city gates, and were very shocked.
Although this city is not big, its architecture is very exquisite. It has carved beams and painted buildings, and a large amount of gold powder is used to paint colorful paintings. You must know that there are no bricks and wood here. Every brick, stone and wood are all transported from far away by camels.
of.
This requires a huge amount of money and manpower, and it is not easy to build this city.
"Sanniang is really a hero among women. I don't know how much effort was spent on such a beautiful city." Xiao Niangpi sighed.
Tieman introduced from the side: "Madam, this city was built by Alatan Khan and Sanniang Zi from the sixth year of Longqing (1572), and it was not completed until the ninth year of Wanli. It cost millions of taels of silver. It is a desert city.
The most majestic city on the southern grassland."
In the 29th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1550 AD), Sanniangzi was born in the Walaqilagut (Turhut) tribe, and her father Zheheng Aha was the leader of the tribe.
The tribe's ruins are located in the Wushen Banner area of Ordos City today.
Sanniangzi's real name is Zhongjin Hatun, which means noble and distinguished. Sanniangzi, like Manduhai, is from Oara and is a very outstanding female politician and military strategist.
Manduhai is the daughter of Yexian's sister, her surname is Choros, and her status is more noble than that of the Third Lady.
As a descendant of Sanniangzi, Tieman admires this heroine very much.
In the past year, the city has also undergone modern reconstruction. The suspension bridge has been changed to a fixed cement bridge. All the main streets in Wengcheng and the city have been changed to cement roads. Carbide street lamps have been installed. Drainage pipes have been laid. It rains less here and sewers are under construction.
Relatively simple.
Dozens of public toilets have also been added to the city. Sanitation workers have been arranged to keep the environment clean and tidy.
After the carriage entered the city, we went directly to Shunyi Palace to stay.
In the fifth year of Longqing (1571), I was granted the title of King Shunyi. The following year, the city was built and the palace was built. After three years, in the third year of Wanli (1575), Kukuhe Tun and the palace of Shunyi were built at the same time. After another five years, Waiwai
The city was completed. At this point, the Guihua City was completed.
The current Suiyuan City on the south bank of the Dahei River was built by Yang Fan. The two cities of Suiyuan and Guihua merged into Guisui City. The ten miles of grassland between the two cities are planned to be used as urban construction land in the future, connecting this large area.
Get up. The future Guisui City will be an industrial city with a river in the middle and spanning both sides.
The carriage came to the main entrance of the palace, and the ladies got off the car. Looking at the majestic six-door gate, they all expressed their sincere admiration.
The palace faces south, and its architectural structure is very unique. It is unique among palace buildings. This palace is a typical architectural style of the Ming Dynasty palace.
The gate of the palace faces south. The foundation of the entire palace is made of large bluestone strips. The walls are made of water-polished blue bricks, with overhanging eaves and five ridges and six animals on the top. The materials used in the house are also very particular.
It is said that when the beams were being erected for the construction of the palace in Anda, due to the northwest wind, the unfixed beams fell down, killing several craftsmen on the spot, and the building collapsed. This made Anda feel that it was built by the Han people.
The house is neither strong nor safe.
Therefore, the palace and the east and west wing rooms of the Fangwang Mansion built after that were all built with double beams and thick columns. Five thick wooden columns were erected in the front hall to form the hall room. As a result, the building structure this time was very strong, which is rare in the world.
The third entrance to the palace is the courtyard. The backyard is a storage room, and roses and lilacs are planted in the courtyard. Every summer, the entire courtyard is filled with fragrance.
The second courtyard is the palace bedroom, with five large rooms. The middle of the front courtyard is the living room, and the east and west sides are the conservatories. The front and back yards are separated by partition walls, and a hanging flower door is set up to enter.
The front palace has three east and west wing rooms. Facing the south is the palace gate. There are three doors, one bright and two dark, with a courtyard in the middle. There is an eight-character wall outside the palace gate. Facing the south is a blue brick screen wall, which is similar to the gate of the prince's palace.
Corresponding comparison.
There are a pair of white marble stone door piers on both sides one meter inside the palace gate. The red lacquer door shines with fifty-six special copper nails, eight vertical and seven horizontal, showing the majesty of the palace.
Now that King Shunyi has died, the little princess is the only owner here. Her courtyard is in Haitangju, Xikuaoyuan. There is a small Soviet-style garden.
The second hall has been renovated and is prepared for Yang Fan. The lobby is used as a festival hall to handle military and political affairs. The third hall accommodates wives, and the left and right wings accommodate concubines.
"Madams, please have something to eat first, wash up and have a rest. I have already arranged the dinner, which will start in an hour," the little princess said.
Xiao Niangpi held her little hand affectionately and said, "You're not tired. I'll take my sister to your boudoir. I want to take a look."
