Sweep the World

"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 low-key, 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 not the same. Civilization has long existed there. Although it is said that no superpower has risen, the development in various 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 military force, but their wealth holdings are really not low.

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

　　 If you grab some countries with basic civilization, you can get some wealth that was 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, and the wealth gathered is astronomical, and it has not yet been counted as the conquered land itself.

　　 Liu Yan, who has been so devastated by the natural disaster, has been depressed recently. Waiting for the value of the spoils that Cai You will be transported back to him is calculated, and finally his mood is not so 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, there were nearly a thousand gems, and the rest were more jewelry, cloth, and miscellaneous things.

　　In terms of wealth, the first wave of plundering was enough for Liu Yan to arm up seven more standing troops, even if he was supplying the existing army, it could last for two years. 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 contact is difficult." 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 still survive, there is no farming civilization. If you want to buy plant food, you have to go overseas.

　　 The overseas purchase of grain from Han has never stopped. Last year, people were sent to Persia, Rome, and some countries in the three continents to purchase.

　　 Both Persia and Rome have domestic bad things. One has frequent rebellions in the country, and the other simply split into three parties to fight a civil war. It is doomed that it is difficult for them to sell food in large quantities, and the price is high.

　　 Like two satraps, Karabarras, and Vajadha, who are members of the "Five Nations Alliance", everyone is busy preparing for war and is going to fight a major war. How can there be excess food to sell?

　　 Speaking of it, the world is currently regarded as a large country, and any country is in a state of food shortage. It is either suffering from natural disasters or being the result of war. Those countries that have neither natural disasters nor epidemics have some surplus food, but the large countries around them are short of food, and there is no need to mention what the consequences are. many.

　　 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 the 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 palace group has basically risen, 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 those of the Xian Han, but the names of the palace groups, especially the names of some main halls, were directly used by the Western Han Dynasty.

　　 The green avenue they are walking on is the road 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 mansion, 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 there are generally no important people sitting in class, even the textbooks and so on are of secondary level.

　　 There is still 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’s not that the ruler itself needs such a large area. How much space can he 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, a warrior will fight in formation, while a warrior will cooperate with 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 looked 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 because Liu Yan is afraid of death to be special. Any dynasty is basically of this level. Even the weakest and smallest Zhuxia dynasty, the guards of Miyagi are definitely the most tight.

　　The pre-Qin 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 tallest is as high as a dozen stories, but the shape is tower-like.

　　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 pre-Han building is actually completely hollow except for the load-bearing columns, and the wall is 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.wuxiaspot.com~ and other leisure, I liked doing things the most. It is standing on the top floor of the balcony overlooking Chang'an City.

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

A crowd of people passed by, and the bottom floor did not have a wall built according to the habit of the pre-Hans, and went up the stairs to the second floor. Because there were only load-bearing pillars and no other things to block the view, one 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 not move, breathing heavily and sat where they were, but their eyes moved with Liu Yan's movement.

　　 The third floor is still full of soldiers sitting quietly. 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, I finally built the walls 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 　　 staircase 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. (I saw on TV that the stairs of the Eastern Han Dynasty used to be modern styles, they were not particular about the construction of film and television buildings, otherwise the "z" style stairs appeared only in the Sui and Tang Dynasties)

It has to 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. He didn't look inside Miyagi, but looked far away.

　　 There is 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 trucks, not knowing where they were going to be transported.

　　 The city of Zhuxia, especially as an imperial capital, how can there be no such "pool" or "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 a lake that has been artificially transformed during the Northern Song Dynasty. The host is Su Shi. He was actually sent to Hangzhou as a criminal officer, but he couldn’t bear to have the queen mother take care of ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Some disciples were also strong enough to make him complete a great career in poetry and composing. From the Northern Song Dynasty to modern times, it has become 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.

　　 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 Confucianism, 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!
