"You, do you know Chang'an Weiyang Palace?"

"The subordinates know. "

When Ou Xing heard this, he hurriedly bowed his head.

"Lone wants you to build a palace that is more magnificent and majestic than Weiyang Palace. Liu Yu looked at Ou Xing and said slowly.

"Can you do it?"

"Please rest assured, my subordinates will do it. "

Ou Xing immediately knelt on the ground and bowed his head.

For Ou Xing, to be able to preside over the construction of a palace that surpasses Weiyang Palace, he will do it desperately.

Once it is completed, he Ouxing will be able to leave his name in history and be remembered for eternity.

After leaving the Hou Mansion, Ou Xing began to choose a site and build a royal palace, the most important thing is to choose a location.

Only by choosing the right location is to make sure that there are no gaps in the ground of the site to ensure that there are no problems in the future.

............

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

"The Lord"

Ou Xing came to meet Liu Yu again.

"Have you chosen an address?" Liu Yu looked at Ou Xing and asked in some surprise.

It's only been a week, and he's ready to give Ou Xing a few months, or even half a year or more.

The construction of the royal palace is not a trivial matter, and if something collapses, it is not a matter of human life, but of majesty and reputation.

"Yes, my lord. "

Ou Xing nodded, and then said, "Please take a look." "

"Go"

Hearing this, Liu Yu bowed slightly, and then walked out of the Hou Mansion.

Following Ouxing's guidance, he walked directly out of Jixian County, and drove north for dozens of miles before stopping.

"Lord, please look, this is ......"

Ou Xing pointed to the land in front of him and made various introductions.

Liu Yu didn't understand these, but he calculated, isn't this the location of the Forbidden City in later generations?

Thinking that the Forbidden City has existed for hundreds of years, there is no problem, and there is naturally no problem here.

"Someone, go and send someone to call Zhicai. Liu Yu opened his mouth and commanded.

"Yes, my lord. "

About half an hour later, Xi Zhi came to Liu Yu.

"The Lord"

Xi Zhicai gave up.

"Ou Xing has found out that this place is suitable for the construction of a royal palace. Liu Yu pointed to the opposite drama in front of him.

"Lone has an idea. "

"I want to build a new city. "

Liu Yu said, staring at the land with burning eyes.

"The lord wants to build a new city?"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he was surprised at first, and then seemed to have figured out something, so he asked, "May I ask my lord, why is the new city built?"

"Here, I want to build a new city, called Yanjing City, which is a hundred miles long and wide, and the city wall is thirty-three zhang high......"

Liu Yu told his imagination.

"Lord, such a big city, this, this ......"

Xi Zhicai was shocked by Liu Yu's imagination on the spot.

Chang'an City is big enough, it can be said that in the entire ancient times, the largest city is Chang'an City, covering an area of 87 square kilometers.

At its peak, it can accommodate more than one million people living in Chang'an City.

The giant city with a length and a width of 100 miles is unimaginable, covering an area of 2,500 square kilometers, more than 28 times that of the entire Chang'an City.

It is equivalent to the range of the six rings of the capital in later generations. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

According to what Liu Yu said, the height of the city is 33 zhang, and the height of 100 meters is already the height of the clouds.

"Lord, the manpower and material resources consumed by such a huge city are huge, and Zhicai is worried that it will exhaust the foundation of seclusion and hope. Zhicai said with some concern.

The manpower and material resources consumed in such a city are absolutely unimaginable.

"Ou Xing, you come and tell Gu, if Gu wants to build a giant city like this, how much manpower and material resources will be needed?" Liu Yu called Ou Xing over and asked.

Professional things, you must find professional people to do.

For example, Ou Xing must know more about this kind of thing than Xi Zhicai, and he also knows how to do it.

"My lord, based on what I have heard, I roughly estimate that it will take at least 500,000 workers and more than five years to complete the construction. Ou Xing lowered his head, his voice trembling with excitement.

If he was asked to build it, of course he would.

So he was excited, but in Ou Xing's opinion, it was too difficult, 500,000 manpower, and it took ten years to build the city.

And that's just half a million workers, what about the materials?

Where do the materials come from, you always have to go to open the mountain and crack the rock, which still requires labor, and it still requires labor to transport it.

Add to that, at least two million people.

This is equivalent to an army of 2 million men fighting continuously for more than 10 years.

On this scale, in any dynasty, it is the way to take trouble, and the dynasty is doomed.

It is no exaggeration to say that the construction of such a city cost more than ten times more manpower and material resources than the Sui Dynasty to build a canal.

At the very least, to build a canal is to go down the river, and to build a city, it is necessary to constantly transport all kinds of materials from other places here.

"My lord, manpower alone is like this, but it is conceivable that in terms of material resources, even if the entire Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou are mobilized, there is no way to complete it. Xi Zhicai persuaded Liu Yu.

After all, the common people still have to farm, and they can't waste the land in the three states, all for the sake of building such a city.

"Ou Xing, I ask you, if you don't need to worry about material resources, can you speed up the construction of this city?" Liu Yu asked with a serious face towards Ou Xing.

"Lord Qiqi, if you don't have to worry about materials and material resources, you only need one million people, and it will take a year to cast. Ou Xing thought for a moment and spoke.

The biggest constraint on the construction of the city will always be in the aspect of 330 materials.

As long as the materials can meet the requirements, the rest of the aspects are just additional manpower, which can increase the speed.

In fact, the main difficulty lies in Liu Yu's requirement that the width of the city wall of 33 zhang should be at least 10 zhang, that is, about 100 meters high and about 30 meters wide.

As long as the city wall is built, it will not be difficult for other buildings in the city.

"Very good, million people, lonely for you. "

Liu Yu instructed Ou Xing: "Next, you will measure and calculate how to build this city." "

"Yes, my lord. "

When Ou Xing heard this, his voice was a little excited.

"Lord, do these millions of people want to be conscripted?" On the way back, Xi Zhicai asked Liu Yu.

"Conscription?"

When Liu Yu heard this, he shook his head and said, "In the future, the levy will be abolished under the rule of Lone." "

"The lord can't, once the levy is abolished, there will be no one available for some river management work in various places. When Xi Zhicai heard this, he hurriedly said.

"And if the lord wants to build a city, he also needs to be served. "

From the perspective of the common people, it must be the abolition of forced labor so that they can live a better life.

But once the forced labor is abolished, who will carry out the construction?

If he could, Xi Zhicai also wanted to approve of Liu Yu's abolition of conscription, but reason told him that he had to tell the lord about the dangers.
