The purpose of building a city gate is to open up the inside and outside. Of course, it is impossible to just look at the situation outside the city wall.

Inside the West City Wall, the main north-south road next to the West City Wall is called Bachelor Street.

As introduced earlier, the name of Xueshi Street comes from Wang Hao, a great scholar in the Zhengde period, who came from the Wang family of Dongshan Dongting, a wealthy family that was half Confucian and half businessman.

Walking along Bachelor Street, we came to the best planned location for the new city gate.

Lin Ada pointed to the front and introduced carefully: "This place is located at the midpoint between Changmen and Xumen, and the terrain is the best. It can also open the water gate, so that there will be no situation where Xumen cannot open the water gate.

So for various reasons, this is the single best place to open a new city gate.

Otherwise, if we build a new city gate anywhere else, the terrain will easily cause water from the moat to pour into the city, so the water gate cannot be built, and the new city gate will lose most of its significance."

The moat of Suzhou City is also different from that of most cities. Taihu Lake water continuously flows into the moat through the Xujiang River, and the amount of water is particularly large.

Therefore, when the Xu Gate was first built, in order to prevent the moat from pouring into the city when there was a flood, the water gate was not dared to be opened, resulting in the Xu Gate losing a large part of its traffic capacity.

If a new city gate is to be built, this situation must be avoided as much as possible.

Although what Lin Ada said was very reasonable, Lin Tailai still fell into deep thought as he looked at the grand garden in front of him that clung to the city wall.

The best place for the new city gate that the elder brother said is the big garden under the city root?

No wonder the eldest brother tricked himself into working on-site. The real reason is here. A few shops outside the city are nothing, this garden in the city is the big problem.

Lin Tailai gritted his teeth and said, "If you weren't my good brother, I would sink you into the moat right now."

As we all know, there are no ordinary people who can cultivate gardens in the city, and at the worst they have to be at the level of Tang Bohu.

Even if Lin Tailai had never been in the large garden in front of him close to the west city wall, he knew it was the Yi Lao Garden of the Wang family in Dongshan.

This is one of the most famous gardens in Suzhou today. Wang Jiazhi, a great scholar, lived here after he returned to Suzhou sixty or seventy years ago.

As mentioned earlier, the smallest garden in Suzhou City is Peach Blossom Temple, and the largest garden is Humble Administrator's Garden, covering an area of ​​200 acres.

Yi Lao Garden is almost the second largest garden in area, covering an area of ​​80 acres, so you can imagine its scale.

Such a large garden was built at the best address reserved for the new city gate.

If it's just big, that's it. The key is that this garden belongs to the Dongshan Wang family, which is one of the four major families in Wu County along with the Fan family, Wen family, and Shen family.

Lin Tailai looked behind him and saw more than twenty followers, and then ordered: "We have enough manpower today, so let's go and have a look at Yi Lao Garden!"

If you meet someone who can take care of things, just touch it, and maybe you will take action again."

Zhang Wu asked doubtfully: "Zi Guan just said that as a hero, you should not beat others arbitrarily?"

Lin Tailai said angrily: "You remember wrongly, I said don't beat the weak at will! Are the Wang family considered weak?

If you beat a few little people at will, you are a bully, but if you dare to beat someone from the Dongshan Wang family, who can say that you are not a hero?"
