Chapter 353 Building a "Capital City" that Stands for a Thousand Years (4.1K)

"Wang Wei, Wang Wenshu was promoted to Ting Wei, and I also resigned as the young minister. You should make some preparations in the past few days and take up the post as the young minister."

"I thank the Lord for your kindness."

Wang Wei doesn't need to say much here, he is very familiar with Shaofu's affairs.

"Tian Qianqiu, your side is Tai Changcheng, who is concurrently the Minister of Shangshu and Shicao."

"I thank the Lord for your kindness."

The same goes for Tian Qianqiu, he doesn't need much, Shi De didn't dare to disrespect him when he went too often, and when he entered the palace, Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi and other veterans in the palace would also take care of him.

"Zhang Anshi, you are here for Prince Zhan, and concurrently serving as Shangshu servant She, Shangshuling is my uncle.

Shangshu Pushe doesn't need me to say more, you can handle it yourself, the crown prince, after going to Bowang Garden, clean up all the debris inside, don't save face for Shi Liangdi, do your best. "

Zhang Anshi thanked Huo Shan first, then hesitantly asked:

"Is this not very good, it must be the princess..."

Huo Shan frowned, stared at him and asked:
"Crown princess? You made it?"

Zhang Anshi immediately lay down on the ground in fright:
"The minister is guilty."

Shi Liangdi is indeed not a crown princess, she is just a concubine, and Liu Ju has never had a crown princess from the beginning to the end.

"Lu Guoshi's and Gu Liang's hands are too long, chop them off."

"promise."

"Du Yannian, you are Ting Weicheng and concurrently serve as the Cao of the Two Thousand Stones."

"I thank the Lord for your kindness."

Huo Shan nodded, was silent for a while and said:
"I didn't want to call you, but your father will tell you about the situation, just like Gongsun Jingsheng, but I have some things to arrange.

Do you still remember the dozens of carts of criminal evidence when we went to the Qiang land? "

Du Yannian nodded, feeling both numb and excited.

Huo Shan turned his head to look at Wang Wenshu:
"I'll leave this matter to the two of you. Wang Wenshu is your envoy, and Du Yannian is your deputy. Go and clean up the world for me."

Wang Wenshu felt bitter and confused about his future, but the next moment Huo Shan gave him hope.

"My champion Hou country just lacks a chancellor, Wang Wenshu, after finishing this matter, go to the champion Hou country to be the country's minister, and Du Yannian, you will be the court lieutenant.

To avoid the young people on the road, Du Yannian, go to Su Xian before you go, and take five hundred tigers from him to accompany you.

Beware of everything along the way, especially food and drink. "

Wang Wenshu immediately felt that the future was bright. All he wanted to do now was to set off quickly. After finishing this matter, he would leave Chang'an, the cave of dragons and tigers, and live a peaceful life in a few days.

"What else does your lord have to say?"

Huo Shan thought for a while:
"Kill what should be killed, arrest what should be arrested, and move what should be moved."

"Including county officials?"

"Including county government officials, there is no shortage of officials in the big man, and there are many people on standby in the palace."

The big man does not lack officials, but what he lacks are capable officials.

"But don't kill indiscriminately. If you let me know that there is an unjust, false or wrongly decided case, you should be careful. Du Yannian, keep an eye on him. Before you leave, come to me to get another secret edict."

"promise."

Huo Shan was just trying to scare Wang Wenshu. Of course there were secret edicts, but they were not aimed at Wang Wenshu, but were used to mobilize troops in times of danger.

The departure of these two people must have set off a bloodbath, and the forces in various places are intertwined, and there must be some troubles.

After talking about this matter, it's all right, everyone chatted, mainly Zhao Puonu said, everyone listened, and they didn't know where he learned these interesting things.

After the banquet at night, everyone got very drunk, Huo Shan was also a little dizzy, so he drank a little too.

After washing up early the next morning, Huo Shan rode his horse and headed south of the city.

When they arrived at the gate of Chengnan'an, a group of people had been waiting for a long time.

Sun Shang left the city ahead of schedule and brought five hundred feathers to protect him. There were many other people besides them.

Da Si Nong Sang Hongyang, Shao Fu Wang Wei, Shui Heng Du Wei Jiang Chong, and some of the officials they brought.

"The minister waits to see the king."

"Well, get back on your feet, get on your horse and set off, the Marquis has some other things to do in the afternoon."

Everyone got on their horses and headed south under the siege of Habayashi. This trip was to visit Xindu City.

When Huo Shan went to fight in the Western Regions, the affairs of Xindu City and Chaotang were not idle, and he had done a lot of preparation work.

Leaving aside the matter of attracting investment, this is not done at all, because those big businessmen recognize Huo Shan's name.

It's not that the court couldn't recruit people, but that the price they offered was very expensive, and they also showed some days of distrust secretly.

The construction and development of the Qiang area is coming to an end, Huo Shan took a look when he passed by, and among other things, the construction is really good.

The scale over there is not much smaller than the construction of a new capital city. The most important thing is that the final payment has not been settled yet, and old Liu Koukousoso is unwilling to pay it.

But that's right, it's a lot of money, but the money must be given to them, so they can invest in the new Chang'an, right?

Before Huo Shan originally conquered the Western Regions, he wanted them to transport the supplies looted from the Western Regions, and then discount these supplies at the official price of the big man to give them a final payment.

But after going to the Western Regions, where can the supplies be transported back? They are not enough for their own use, and the big man has to transport some of them.

So this matter was left alone, and Liu Che seemed to have forgotten about the final payment. A group of big businessmen did not dare to express their opinions, and waited anxiously for Huo Shan to come back.

But this is also good, it is just right to send them five baht, and the court will definitely keep the hard currencies such as gold and silver.

With the new account, another sum of money can be minted. As for how much money can be minted, Huo Shan doesn't really understand it, but Sang Hongyang understands this, and nothing big will happen.

Speaking of the new capital city, when Huo Shan was fighting in the Western Regions, the court was not idle.

Some preparatory work has been almost done, such as materials such as Miyagi's materials have been delivered.

Miyagi, it is definitely impossible to hand it over to the big merchants to make it. The structure and layout inside need to be kept strictly confidential.

Moreover, when the new Chang'an was built, the main craftsmen of the big merchants needed someone to follow them every step of the way. The layout of the whole city didn't need to be as strict as Miyagi, but it couldn't be known to everyone.

The city looks simple, but it is not of a certain level, and the layout inside cannot be seen.

Just as important as the city map is the city defense layout map.

Therefore, the main craftsmen of these large merchants will also be included as master craftsmen after completion.

And the same treatment as Miyagi is also the foundation, not to mention how important the foundation is from the architectural level.

The most important thing is the passage under the city and the densely packed waterways. The military importance of this city is no less important than that of Miyagi.

Therefore, strict confidentiality is also required.

And these preparations have been done almost, when Huo Shan came to the location of Xindu, which is also the location of Daxing City in the later Sui Dynasty and Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty, he saw this scene in front of him.

There are a lot of materials piled up in the north, piled up into mountains and mountains, and Sang Hongyang next to him made an answer while walking along.

"Your Majesty, these are the materials for building the palace city. The ones in front of you are about [-]%."

Huo Shan nodded, then asked:

"There should be no shortage of craftsmen. With such a large scale, where do the workers come from?"

"There are not many other things around Chang'an, but there are many people. The imperial court has spent money to hire laborers, and has almost set about 8000 people, all of whom are strong and middle-aged men.

There will also be soldiers every year, and those who are close will be transferred here.

Now it is the middle of May, and the summer harvest in Guanzhong has already started. After the summer harvest, the people will have a short period of leisure before the autumn harvest, and they can start working during this time.

When the autumn harvest came, the elderly and wives at home were too busy, and the people left the busy farming. After the busy work, they harvested and dried the grain. There were many days in Guanzhong, and the grain would dry out in a few days. After the grain was stored, they returned to continue working.

People start work when they are free. There are many water tankers in Chang'an. Unlike before, it is not necessary to keep an eye on water diversion and watering. It can't be delayed for a moment in a year, so now the people have a lot of leisure time. "

Huo Shan nodded in satisfaction:

"It is better to stop work, and the work of the people in the fields must not be delayed."

"promise."

They walked for another distance, about two quarters of an hour, and after bypassing the mountainous building materials, a large plain surrounded by rivers in the distance came into Huo Shan's eyes.

Huo Shan looked at it for a while, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, this great plain is suitable for building a city.

"What is the size of this new Chang'an and the inner city?"

The inner city and Miyagi are not the same thing. Miyagi is the northernmost one, the imperial palace.

The inner city also surrounds Miyagi, but in addition to Miyagi, there is also one to the south of Miyagi.

And this road is the location of the various government offices and military camps. The government offices are like the prime minister's mansion, the Shaofu, and the military camps are like the barracks of the North and South Army.

Generally speaking, it cannot be said that there is no similarity with Tang Changan, it can only be said that they are exactly the same, using the same system planning of Fangshi.

"The entire new Chang'an is 25 miles wide from east to west and 22 miles long from north to south.

The entire inner city is nine miles wide from east to west and ten miles long from north to south.

The entire palace city is as wide as the inner city and five miles long from north to south. "

Huo Shan took a deep breath. This size was larger than Tang Chang'an City, but not too much larger. The size of Tang Chang'an, in terms of the width from east to west, was about 23 miles in terms of Han Li.

And this new capital city is slightly larger as a whole.

"With two million people, there is no problem at all."

"Your Majesty is right, there will still be arable land in this city."

Sang Hongyang nodded excitedly and distressed. The excitement is that this big city will be born in their hands and will soon become the capital of the Han Empire.

The distress is naturally because it is all money. Once the construction starts, the gold will flow out like running water.

Huo Tan looked at Sang Hongyang's expression a little funny:

"Now that the money is spent, we don't hurt the people, and sooner or later it will flow back into the court's pocket."

Sang Hongyang nodded, according to Huo Shan, it was indeed so.

Huo Shan rode his horse around the entire New Chang'an City, looking at the foundations and underground waterways.

There is actually nothing to see nowadays, and laying the foundation is not to home run such a large area, even if there are 500 million gold, it is not enough.

If the foundation is laid, for example now, it is only the position of the city wall of the entire new Chang'an, the position of the city wall of the palace city and the inner city, and the foundation of the palace to be built.

It's like building a house in the countryside in later generations, spreading white ash on the whole, pestling it again and again, and then laying foundations on the walls. You can't pour all the ground with concrete once.

Of course, rich and powerful, more willful to go out.

And building a city is different from this. Many places are empty land, such as gardens, cultivated land and so on. At this time, it is normal to have cultivated land in the city.

This is the case with the construction of the city in the early stage. If the palace city is excluded, the foundation of the city wall is first laid, the city wall is built, the foundation of the square wall is laid, the square wall is built, the road is repaired, and then the mansion and houses are built in the square.

"How many years will Miyagi be completed?"

"Back to the Lord, all the palaces and cities were built by the imperial court themselves, and the people's busy farming will definitely delay the construction period. According to the results calculated by the minister, it is estimated that it will take more than three years, and it will take four years to move in.

Subsequent pavilions and gardens were built step by step, and the construction started year by year. It is estimated that it will take eight years. "

Huo Shan nodded, this is not urgent, the old city is not unusable, but three or four years is just right in Huo Shan's mind.

After two or three years of military training and the destruction of the Xiongnu, Huo Shan still wanted to come to the court from all nations, so that they could see the difference between the capital of the Great Han Heavenly Kingdom and their capitals.

Once this happens, after being shocked by this big city, their submission to the big man will be more solid.

"Let's speed up the construction. The entire inner city, including everything in the palace city, must be completed within five years. If it doesn't work, let the soldiers go up. It's just about to train soldiers. By the way, how about the whole city?"

"Hui Junhou, according to the construction speed of the Qiang land, the city walls, square walls and roads can be built within two years."

Huo Shan thought, if materials are provided free of charge, craftsmen are dispatched, and the common people build it themselves, can this Chang'an City be enriched?

As soon as Huo Shan thought of this idea, he rejected it in his heart because it was impossible.

How can there be so many people in a big city with a population of 200 million!
Even if the imperial court migrated people from various places, it would not work. What would these 200 million people eat and drink?
So after much deliberation, Huo Shan has given up on the plan of directly increasing the population in a short period of time.

It is impossible to enrich the population in a short time, and it can only develop slowly.

And if the big man does not make some changes, it is estimated that the city will not be enriched for hundreds of years, and the first thing to make changes is business.

However, within five years, some parts, such as the Dongxi City and some square cities in the northern half, will be built, and then the people will move in, so that the entire Chang'an City will come alive on the surface, and it should not be a problem for the envoys and kings of all countries to see a prosperous Han capital.

"Then let's start the construction, Master Masaku will do his best to build Miyagi.

Da Sinong negotiated a specific figure for casting coins, and then handed it over to Shui Heng for casting.
Shaofu and Dasinong fully supported the construction of the inner palace city, and the rest was handed over to the big merchants.

In his own name, Da Sinong summoned all the big merchants of the Han Dynasty to Chang'an, and said that Ben Hou would personally preside over it, and the time would be July [-]th. "

Huo Shan finally looked at the empty land in front of him and said:
"I hope that a 'capital' that can stand for thousands of years and be worshiped by all countries will be born in our hands!"
