Chapter 165: Taiji Imperial Capital
The first snow in 627 came a little later than usual, which is unusual in ancient times when there was no global warming.
Chang'an is located in Guanzhong, but after all, it belongs to the northwest region, and the warm southern climate is not comparable.
If it was in the past, those poor people might still be glad that they could stay up for a while not to be frozen and starved to death in the cold winter, but this year they don't have to shrunk their shoulders under the eaves of large families to keep warm, hey~ Angry!
This year, not to mention the poor, there is not even a single homeless person in the Gyeonggi area, and the people of Chang'an are happily moving into Qionglou Yuyu, which is like a heavenly palace.
Under the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor that "the poor and helpless people, whether they are old or weak, women and children, can go to Chang'an to eat", the displaced people gathered from all directions were also swallowed up in Chang'an City like a bottomless pit, and they didn't even burp.
After entering the city, these displaced people only need to check whether they carry the epidemic at the health quarantine station set up by the Tian Hospital, and stay for a day in a place called a "quarantine area".
Soon it will be organized into a team with "accommodation" as a unit.
The prefect will teach the rules and distribute brand-new standard winter clothes and complete sets of daily utensils.
and a bamboo plaque with information such as place of origin, name, and number of the boarding team to which it belongs, called "Temporary Residence Permit for Displaced People".
They will be placed in a dormitory in a city wall as high as a mountain, and they will only have to obey the instructions of the dormitory master for the rest of the day.
If they work in various industries under the jurisdiction of Tiangongmen, they can exchange it for three meals a day that can ensure that they can survive this winter.
If you know what kind of craft, you will even be recruited into the [Tiangongmen] to become a laborer, or if you are willing to work and can work hard, you will also get a "food stamp" reward, and lead the family to the collective canteen to have a good meal.
It is precisely because of the huge manpower that has been continuously gathered in Chang'an that the new Chang'an, which has completed the infrastructure, has also completed the meticulous repair of the aftermath in a very short period of time with the joint efforts of the craftsmen of [Tiangongmen], and can be relocated.
And when the people of Chang'an were elated and ready to move to a new house.
A huge contingent of displaced laborers called the "Moving Company" appeared in the old city of Chang'an.
If your family is in a good situation and you are short of manpower, you only need to sign up with the president of the "Fang Council" and pay a small fee.
There will be a special moving team to help them load the pots and jars that are ready to be moved onto the cart that is said to be called "Zhukamala".
They were pulled to the residential area of the new house, and they were also relocated upstairs, which saved them not knowing how much trouble.
After all, even if you move by yourself in order to save money, it will cost you a lot of money to rent a donkey cart to go back and forth, and when you encounter this kind of city-wide relocation, you can't rent so many donkey carts.
Knowing that His Majesty and the emperor are benevolent and have to feed a large number of displaced people this winter, the vast majority of the people of Chang'an who are still alive can afford to spend a few small sums of money to save themselves trouble, which can be regarded as finding a job for these displaced people to be self-reliant and support themselves.
Because the 64 Hexagram Fang is the kind of super townhouse with nine floors, one floor and four households, 20 units in one building, and 64 buildings in one square.
Therefore, the new Chang'an seems to have been reduced from 110 to 64 squares, but in fact, [Financial Gate] only opened the six square areas of "Tun Hexagram Fang, Menggua Fang, Need Hexagram Fang, Litigation Hexagram Fang, Shigua Fang, and Comparison Hexagram Fang", which accommodated millions of people in the original Chang'an, and one of them was a special [Tiangongmen] craftsman dormitory.
If all 64 districts are opened, the 64 hexagram districts alone will have to accommodate 15 million people!
This is almost the entire population of the entire Tang Dynasty at present, and it is really full of people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "one city and one country, one country and one city".
Because a large number of people are gathered together, the people rub shoulders when they go out for activities during the day, and it looks like a prosperous and lively place.
However, the fifty-eight square areas that have not yet opened look empty and a little infiltrating.
In order to prevent anyone from running into the magpie's nest and occupying it, even the gate of the workshop was sealed by a stone wall.
It is worth mentioning that the houses sold to those nobles and family lords are located in these unopened areas, as for when they will open, it depends on the mood and future planning of Emperor Wuji.
With the start of the waterway transportation network project, a large number of craftsmen need to go out to the city to work.
And because of the expansion of the area of the new Chang'an, the demand for people in the city to travel has increased.
An organization under the name of "City Public Transport Co., Ltd.", named "Chang'an Public Transport Co., Ltd.", officially started operation in the new Chang'an.
Large vans dragged by mules and horses, running between several routes and several stations, people only need to travel at the so-called "station", at most wait for a stick of incense (five minutes) of time, you will see a "bus" heading for the direction you want to go, and only one copper coin is required to take a stop, which is very convenient and convenient.
The only thing that the people of Chang'an are not accustomed to is that they only receive "vouchers" from Daluotian City when taking this kind of "bus", so if you want to take the bus, you have to change the "vouchers" in advance to buy tickets at the station.
However, due to the new construction of the Fang District, Da Luo Tian City and the Fang District were combined.
The ground floor of all residential buildings has been reserved as a shop store, so that people can go downstairs to buy things.
Therefore, you can exchange "vouchers" in any shop, and there is even a "voucher" exchange office specially set up by the "Datang Economic Development Commercial Bank", which is not a trouble.
And the people are gradually getting used to it, and it is indeed much more convenient to use "vouchers" to buy and sell directly than before.
The most important thing is that it is light to carry, and a small piece of paper can top the usual money, which is a pocket of seven or eight pounds of Kaiyuan Tongbao.
With the emergence of all kinds of new things, the operation of the new Chang'an has officially entered the right track.
So on the first day of the second year of Zhenguan, His Majesty the Emperor and the Emperor Taishang climbed the towering gatehouse of the Taiji Imperial City together.
Spend the New Year's Day with the people, and at the same time Zhang Huangbang announced to the world, from now on, "Chang'an City" will be renamed "Taiji Imperial Capital"!
Bai Yuqi, who heard the news, was still weak-hearted, he changed the ancient city of Xi'an in later generations to the current appearance, and now even the Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty has been changed by the devil, if the historians and archaeologists of later generations know the truth, they don't know if they will be crazy?
