Sweep the World

Chapter 779: : New Changan

"It's a widow who made a mistake." Liu Yan is now the emperor but not the emperor, so naturally he will not call himself me: "It should be publicized with great fanfare."

It is said that the wealth robbed from the Western Regions caused a sensation. Chang'an is still too late. For passing through the northwest to Guanzhong, and then all the way to Chang'an, the places above the way are like water dripping into a pot of fiery oil. That is called deflagration. .

The robbery of Han in the Indochina Peninsula...Uh, it was a business operation. After three or four years of operation, the first two years were transported to Xiangguo. There were basically not many people in that place after the ravaged by Husbands. Relying on water transportation, there was very little pause in the middle, and there was no onlookers, plus the official lack of special publicity, naturally it was impossible to cause any sensational effect.

Even if the operation of the Indochina Peninsula is a low-key operation, the result is still to attract the qualified people from the South to the Indochina Peninsula. Those who go early get rich early, and those who go later can drink some soup and chew their bones. Going to the Indochina Peninsula is equivalent to getting rich. The concept of southerners today.

What I have to say is that there are really not many countries in the Indochina Peninsula, and there is a place that is almost the same as the wilds. The local tribes can grab some trophies, but more resources need to be done by themselves or mines. , Or logging, making a fortune is a long process, especially if there is an up-front investment.

The Western Regions are different. Civilization has long existed there. Although it is said that no superpower has risen, the development in all aspects is really not comparable to the Indochina Peninsula.

The countries of the Western Regions have their own civilizations. They are still in the Silk Road Economic Belt. They may not be very powerful in terms of force, but their wealth holdings are really not low.

It will be difficult to grab something for a while in a wild area. You need to plan and manage your own hands after you have captured the territory, and then you will gradually produce wealth.

Grabbing some countries with basic civilization can obtain some wealth that has been created in the first place.

If you grab an area with developed trade, it's like this time the Han directly slammed into the territory of the Qiuci people. Every time you capture a city, you can immediately get a huge amount of wealth. One city and one place may not be too much, but it can be conquered. Where there is more wealth, it will inevitably accumulate. The wealth gathered is an astronomical figure, and it has not yet been counted as the conquered land itself.

Liu Yan, who has been scorched by the natural disaster, has recently felt very depressed. After calculating the value of the spoils that Cai You will return, he finally feels less depressed.

Excluding others, the number of gold coins shipped back to Chang'an from the Western Regions totaled more than 700,000, the number of silver coins reached more than 1.6 million, nearly a thousand gems of various kinds, and more jewelry, cloth, and miscellaneous things.

In terms of wealth, the first wave of looting was enough for Liu Yan to arm up seven more standing troops, which could last for two years even if he supplied the existing troops. And under the premise that the entire territory of Qiuci was not captured, some cities in Qiuci were also robbed by the Dingling, Di tribe, and some guys who took advantage of the fire.

"Food can be purchased overseas, but it is difficult to contact." Ji Chang is really not willing to pour cold water so much. He has to tell the truth: "There are not many countries around Dahan."

It's really the same thing. The countries surrounding Han are basically wiped out. Even if they survive, there is no farming civilization. If you want to buy plant food, you have to go overseas.

Han's overseas grain purchase has never stopped. Last year, it sent people to Persia, Rome, and some countries in the three continents to purchase.

Both Persia and Rome have domestic bad things. One domestic rebellion broke out frequently, and the other simply split into three parties to fight a civil war. It was destined that it would be difficult for them to sell food in large quantities, and then the prices were high.

For example, two satraps, Karabaras, and Vajdauga are members of the "Five Nation Alliance." Everyone is busy preparing for war and is about to fight a major war. How can there be excess food to sell?

Speaking of it, at present the world is considered to be a large country, and any country is in a state of food shortage, either suffering from natural disasters or man-made disasters caused by war. Those countries that have neither natural disasters nor man-made disasters have some surplus food, but the large countries around them lack food, and there is no need to mention what the consequences are. If they don’t hand over the food, they will wait for beatings, resulting in not much food in their hands. .

Liu Yan, who was in a better mood, turned dark again. He did know that it was the same thing. At the beginning, because Persia and Rome gave face to the purchase of grain, a large batch was obtained, but then there was a cliff-like decline. The later the grain, the less grain that can be purchased. .

The conversation between Liu Yan and Ji Chang was not conducted indoors. They were walking on the green avenue of the newly built Miyagi.

The Miyagi in New Chang'an is naturally the top priority of all projects, and it must be in the priority sequence. After more than a year, the main palaces have basically been built, and some forest gardens have also shown scale.

Because it was Liu Yan who wanted to make antiques, perhaps the buildings were not exactly the same as the Xian Han, but the names of the palace groups, especially the names of some main halls, were directly used by the Western Han.

The green avenue they are walking on is the way from Jianzhang Palace to Weiyang Palace. They have just passed the Prime Minister's Mansion, almost to the vicinity of the arsenal.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is actually in Miyagi? That's all nonsense!

In the palace of the Western Han Dynasty, the authority of the imperial court was placed in the palace, not only the prime minister’s house, but the other imperial palaces, court officials, emperor officials, young officials, guards... as long as it was an office at the level of three officials and nine officials. , Are all within Miyagi.

The main office is in Miyagi, and there are affiliated offices outside of Miyagi, but generally there are no important people in the office, and the writing is also a secondary level.

Is there an arsenal in Miyagi? That's even more nonsense in nonsense. There is not only an arsenal, but also a complex of the Miyagi Guards, and even a training ground, training ground, martial arts ground and other areas.

Why Miyagi occupies such a large area? It is not that the ruler himself needs such a large area, but how much space he can use alone. In addition to the ruler itself, many women in the harem also need a place, and then the necessary officials, garrisons, court ladies, and eunuchs do not enter the palace until they go to work?

On both sides of the green avenue, there is a soldier standing every three meters or so. They are divided into armor and samurai.

The different dresses of the standing guards are not for simple distinction, but are actually different in their responsibilities. For example, when something goes wrong, the armored soldiers fight in formation, while the samurai will cooperate and follow Liu Yan's guards. It is purely to protect Liu Yan.

Don’t think that all the armed personnel standing in various places are all. Miyagi is considered to be heavily guarded, not looking at the bright posts everywhere. In fact, some people are hidden in the surrounding dark places, and some of the buildings in Miyagi are also There are a large number of armed personnel on duty anytime and anywhere, that is, looking at ordinary buildings, believe it or not, opening doors or windows reveals large-scale long-range attack equipment.

Miyagi, who was okay, listened quietly, and it seemed absolutely peaceful, but when something happened, guards poured out everywhere. Usually a person walks on any road, and I don’t know how many eyes are watching. It is light to be taken away by someone who suddenly appears. If someone walks and pulls out the murder weapon suddenly, the next moment is to be taken away. The dense array of arrows entertains, that is why it is not on the special list (such as the ruler and his family), and no one dared to make changes in Miyagi.

This situation is really not that Liu Yan is afraid of death to be special. Any dynasty is basically of this grade. Even the weakest and the smallest Zhuxia dynasty, the guards of Miyagi are definitely the strictest.

The pre-Qin period loves to build pavilions, the pre-Han loves to build buildings, and Liu Yan combines the two. You can see pavilions and buildings everywhere in the palace.

The attic was taken apart because it was really not a single word at the time.

The pavilion, especially the pre-Qin pavilion, is simply a kind of Zhangtai. Since the pre-Qin period was built with an all-wood structure, the structure of the pavilion really cannot see materials other than wood. Come to see, relax and collect books.

The building is taller than the pavilion, and it is different from the pre-Qin which only uses wood structure. At the same time, the ground floor of the building in the pre-Han Dynasty is actually completely hollow except for the load-bearing columns, and the walls are built on the second floor. The buildings built by the Han imperial family were basically used from the fourth floor or above. The three floors below were completely decorated. I especially liked the upper floors. Apart from enjoying singing and dancing~www.wuxiax.com~ and other leisure, I liked doing things the most. It is standing on the top floor of the balcony overlooking Chang'an City.

This time Liu Yan strolled without purpose, and walked to a tower.

A crowd of people passed by, and the bottom floor was not built with walls in accordance with the habit of the early Hans. They went up the stairs to the second floor. Because there were only load-bearing pillars and no other things to block the view, they could see at a glance that they were fully armed and sitting still in the dim line of sight. Soldiers on the ground.

The soldiers hiding here were obviously excited to see Liu Yan's arrival, except that the chief officer walked over to salute Liu Yan, the others did nothing, breathing heavily and sitting in place, but their eyes moved with Liu Yan's movement.

On the third floor, there are still many soldiers sitting still. The difference is that there are more big killers like bed crossbows, and there are also some shelves or boxes for placing crossbow arrows.

On the fourth floor, the walls were finally built to divide the room. Just looking at the lack of furniture or other things, it can be seen that whether it is Liu Yan or some people who are qualified to play, rarely come to this tower.

The design of the stairs is a "Z" shape. This concept is of course from Liu Yan, or it was actually a circular rising style that surrounds the four walls before. (It was seen on TV that the stairs of the Eastern Han Dynasty were modern styles before. That was the construction of film and television buildings, otherwise the "Z" style stairs would only appear in the Sui and Tang Dynasties)

It must be said that not only Zhu Xia used the circular rising style around the edge wall for a long time, but other civilizations used the same design method as long as the buildings were high enough. Europa also maintained this circular rising system until the first World War. Wind-powered horse-drawn carriages or churches that are tall enough and have no leverage.

Up to the top, Liu Yan walked directly to the balcony, and then looked out from a high level, without looking inside Miyagi, but looking far away.

There was a construction site under construction. A large recessed area was dug out. Some people excavated soil and installed them. Then they were pulled by animal-powered carts, not knowing where they were going to be transported.

Zhu Xia's city, especially as an imperial capital, could not have this "pool" and that "pool"? If it doesn't, it must be digging a few. This habit was handed down from the Qin Empire. The first emperor was assassinated in Lanchi. The Lanchi was dug out manually, and a lot of playgrounds were built. The weird thing is that people are allowed to have fun. thing.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the emperors before Liu Che were threatened by the Huns, and the threat from the princes and kings in the country was not small. They had neither the financial resources nor the leisure to engage in amusement facilities, but after Liu Che it was different, especially To solve the threat of the Huns, it is necessary to build palaces on a large scale, and there is nothing less to do than to dig out "pools" with huge hands.

"Pool" is an official name. In modern terms, it is a lake. No matter what the emperor did for digging, or whatever amusement facilities were built, the existence of those lakes is indeed of great use, first of all the existence of the lake. Extending the canal, it provided water for the people in the city, and the enlightened emperor also allowed the folks to play, so there are many places to relax.

Hangzhou West Lake is an artificially transformed lake in the Northern Song Dynasty~www.wuxiax.com~ The host is Su Shi. He was actually assigned to Hangzhou as a criminal officer, but he could not bear to have the queen mother to take care of him, and some of his disciples were also strong enough to make him complete a great career in poetry and composition. West Lake has become from the Northern Song Dynasty to modern times. The most famous landmark in Hangzhou.

Chang'an was built in the Qin Empire, the Western Han Dynasty, and the Eastern Han Dynasty. The previous glory was not as scarce as future generations imagined. Liu Yan's new location to build a new city cannot see the previous glory, but he really has the ambition to create a thousand-year-old imperial capital. So at the beginning of construction, the foundation must be laid, and the existence of some artificial lakes is absolutely indispensable.

Standing at a high place within a glance, three artificial lakes in different locations were dug, and the dug out soil was gathered in one place. Ji Chang looked at one place more than once, and there was the use of the soil from the dug lake. The place where the Temple of Heaven was built.

Of course, the Temple of Heaven is called "Taiwan" for later generations. People today are called "Taiwan".

Didn't Liu Yan say that when the new Chang'an was built, it was the day when it was enthroned? Want to ascend to the throne is not just picking a place, changing into an emperor-style dress, shouting "I'm the emperor", and then it's over.

Zhu Xia’s proclaiming emperor had a very serious process. The war at the end of the Qin Dynasty burned too many classics, resulting in the failure to have a set of enthronement ceremonies in accordance with the Zhou ritual in the early Han Dynasty. Liu Bang’s emperor ritual was constantly criticized by some people. Shu Sun Tong pieced together and imagined himself a set of Han room rituals, and then Shu Sun Tong, a member of the Confucian school, was scolded for thousands of years.

What I have to say is that Liu Yan’s emperorship ceremony is getting closer, but the entire Han country is actually very blind. The reason is that even the Xianhan’s enthronement process can’t be found. As for the Sima family’s enthronement ritual process that can be found. Record, that must not be used!
