The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1093 Liuqiu Zunhuang
And walking into the city of Changsha shocked A Xinghuang even more.

Although it was less than three years since Zhao Dongting arrived in Changsha, this period of time was enough for him to develop Changsha into a pearl of this era.

Even if it is only the outer city, courtyards surrounded by white walls and black tiles and pavilions made of red bricks can be seen everywhere.

There are many large or small stone lions placed outside the courtyard, which is enough to show that the family background of the owner of the courtyard is quite good.

Of course, this has something to do with Zhao Dongting's policy.

After arriving in Changsha, he distributed the barren land outside Changsha city to the people.Then, in the form of a combination of government and business, large-scale construction was carried out in the city, repairing and improving the inner and outer cities, and expanding them.

Many houses that were originally vacant in the city and newly built houses were ordered by him to be sold to the people who wanted to move to Changsha City.

Moreover, a housing loan system has been created ingeniously. People can only pay a down payment, and then go to the bank to repay the loan every month.

This greatly lowered the threshold for buying a house, allowing many people to live in Changsha City.

At the same time, it also attracted many wealthy people to Changsha City.At that time, tens of thousands of people looted houses in Changsha, and the government office was full of water. It is said that some people even bought more than ten houses directly.

The Song court received a lot of gold and silver income.Those foremen who built houses for the imperial court also became the first group of people in Changsha who became rich.

There is not much difference between them and the construction bosses of later generations.

Later, Zhao Dongting encouraged business in Changsha City.

There are many inns and restaurants in the city.

It also looked prosperous.

The road is clear and the city is beautiful. It is really hard not to prosper.

Later, the imperial examination system was restructured, and Yuelu Academy became famous all over the world, which made the city of Changsha even more busy.

Although I dare not say that all the people in Changsha City are rich, but it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that they have no worries about food and clothing.

And such a grand occasion cannot be seen in Liuqiu.

Beitaoyuan, Zhongdoubei, and Nanjiangong, none of them have the grand occasion of Changsha.It's even far from it.

A Xinghuang followed Lu Xiufu into the city on a horse.

Surrounded by the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty and Liuqiu soldiers guarding it.

Ah Xinghuang kept looking sideways at the scene on the street, and suddenly felt like he was a frog in a well.

It is hard to imagine that there will be such a busy city as Changsha in the world.

He couldn't help thinking that Lin'an, the old capital of the Great Song Dynasty, was nothing more than Changsha when it was at its most prosperous.

Looking at the smiles and relaxed faces of the people on the street, Ah Xinghuang was very envious in his heart.

He suddenly turned his head and asked Lu Xiufu, "State Order, may I ask how many people are there in Changsha now?"

If there is not enough population, Changsha City must not be allowed to have such prosperity.

Lu Xiufu stroked his beard and smiled lightly, "Is the lord asking about Changsha City alone, or including the prefectures and counties around Changsha City?"

Ah Xinghuang said: "How about excluding prefectures and counties? How about including prefectures and counties?"

Lu Xiufu replied: "Including the surrounding prefectures and counties, there must be a population of 42 million. And this city of Changsha has a population of [-]."

A Xinghuang's face was extremely shocked.

In this era, a city with hundreds of thousands of people is extremely rare.As far as he knows, even in Lin'an back then, the population in Lin'an city would not be more than that of Changsha now.

But now, the Song Dynasty is still in a period of rapid development.

After regaining his senses, Ah Xinghuang murmured with emotion: "In a few years, this city of Changsha may have a population of millions, right?"

Lu Xiufu smiled and said, "It's not impossible. The population of Changsha is increasing at an extremely fast rate."

A Xinghuang's expression was even more shocking, "Millions of heroes, it is really shocking to think about it! We are in Liuqiu, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have such a grand scene."

No wonder he said that.

After all, Liuqiu is only so big, and it is only an overseas country.Up to now, the combined population of Liuqiu's entire country may not be as large as that of Changsha.

Lu Xiufu showed a little pride at the side, and didn't answer any more questions.Afraid of hurting A Xinghuang's self-esteem.

Changsha can have such a grand occasion, it is because the emperor is wise and martial.

How could Liuqiu have such a magnificent scene without a monarch like the emperor?
But in the inner city, Ah Xinghuang was even more shocked.

The inner city of Changsha is much busier and more lively than the outer city.

The crowd kept flowing.

All kinds of people can be seen everywhere on the streets, wealthy businessmen in brocade robes, and Jianghu people with weapons can be described as a mixed bag.

It wasn't until they approached Zicheng that they finally calmed down.

It's hard to see people around.

This is where the Imperial Palace and the various government offices in Changsha City are located. Normally, the common people would not approach this place when there is nothing to do.

The imperial street in front of the palace is more than ten meters wide.

The floors are covered with white marble.On both sides of the street, there are still dragon pillars carved with five-clawed golden dragons made of white marble, facing each other with an interval of about ten meters.

The entire imperial street leads directly to the gate of the palace, and the length is also very particular.It is exactly 99 feet, which is an extreme number, symbolizing the eternal prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

This was enough to shock De A Xinghuang and his soldiers, and even gave birth to the feeling of wanting to worship.

Back then in Doubi City, the buildings of the Martial Arts League could be described as mighty, but compared with the Changsha Palace, there was undoubtedly a gap.

And seeing the main entrance of the palace, it will be even more shocking.

This was rebuilt after Zhao Dongting arrived in Changsha, as Changsha City became more and more prosperous.The yellow city wall is more than ten meters high.

On the top of the city, there are many flags.

All the palace guards were heavily armored, with stern expressions.

Ah Xinghuang and others stopped in front of the palace naturally.

Then, Zhao Dongting led all the imperial guards and eunuchs to come out from the corridor.

Lu Xiufu and other Song Dynasty officials hurried forward and knelt down, saluted Zhao Dongting, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhao Dongting stood at the gate of the palace, smiled at A Xinghuang, and said loudly: "Please ask the king to enter the palace!"

There are horns sounding on the top of the city.

Dozens of imperial guards carried huge horns on their shoulders, and soldiers behind them blew them vigorously with puffed up cheeks.

The voice of the bullhorn was clear and clear, "Well..."

A Xinghuang cupped his hands at Zhao Dongting.Then he got off the chariot and followed Zhao Dongting into the palace on foot.

Hundreds of people filed in.

In the palace, there is an extremely spacious Baiyu Square.Among them, rockery, fountains and so on can be seen.

The palace designed by Zhao Dongting is no different from the manor.Not only majestic, but also very beautiful.

Although Zhao Dongting and Chen Jianghan spent a lot of money in rebuilding the Changsha Palace, everyone felt that it was worth the money after the Changsha Palace was successfully rebuilt.

Going deeper, the soldiers brought by A Xinghuang were taken away by themselves.A Xinghuang just took Mori and followed Zhao Dongting to the main hall.

In the main hall, the banquet has already been set.Zhao Dongting and many humerus ministers of the Song Dynasty took over the dust for A Xinghuang.

During the banquet, A Xinghuang only praised the current Song Dynasty for its people's livelihood and prosperity, which was shocking.

This naturally brought glory to the faces of the humerus ministers of the Great Song Dynasty.

No matter how well done the home is, it’s not interesting just for family members to see it, but only for outsiders to see it will feel good.

Zhao Dongting said that as long as Liuqiu and Dasong maintain a friendly and close trade relationship, such a grand occasion will inevitably occur in Liuqiu in the future.

Liuqiu has a pleasant climate and abundant production capacity.The crops, fruits and vegetables exported to the Song Dynasty every year still bring them a lot of economic benefits.

In the Song Dynasty, many merchants often went to Liuqiu, which also brought a lot of anger to Liuqiu.

When A Xinghuang heard Zhao Dongting's words, his eyes showed thoughtfulness.

Now the Great Song Dynasty and Liuqiu are living in peace, but this is because the Great Song Dynasty has not yet destroyed several surrounding countries.No one knows what the future will look like.

Zhao Dongting's layout of the Dongsha Islands is already a signal.

The Song Dynasty often had official ships going to those so-called overseas continents, passing through the coastal countries of the Song Dynasty.

Who knows if the emperor of the Song Dynasty will bring these overseas countries into the territory of the Song Dynasty to save trouble?

Da Song has such strength.

Ah Xinghuang would not be so naive as to think that he and Zhao Dongting were old acquaintances, so that Zhao Dongting could get special treatment from Liuqiu.

Overseas countries have a pleasant climate, which can be described as a treasure land.

When the banquet was coming to an end, Ah Xinghuang suddenly stood up.

He cupped his hands to Zhao Dongting and said: "In order to maintain the eternal friendship between Liuqiu and Song Dynasty, A Xinghuang would like to respect Song Emperor as the emperor."

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, but then shook his head, "No, no, the emperor can't."
