"Kaifeng City needs to be rebuilt!" Standing on the top of the pavilion, looking down on the city of Tokyo, Liu Chengyou was moved by feelings.

The first emperor destroyed Wei, and the Qin general Wang Ben attacked the Liang, and irrigated it with water, and the Wei capital was destroyed. In the following hundreds of years, Kaifeng City has been in a state of decay, from the Eastern Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Jianzhi called Liang, there was Bianzhou, for the state governance. Until the Middle Tang Dynasty, Prime Minister Li Mianzhen Biansong and rebuilt the Great Liang, until now, it has been more than 170 years.

Zhu Wen usurped Tang Jianliang, and promoted Bianzhou to Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital, Jin and Han because of it. In the past half century, Kaifeng has completely replaced Yongfeng and Luo, and has become the political, military, cultural and economic center of the north.

However, after decades of rapid development, the old and backward city can no longer adapt to the social economy and assume the function of being the capital of a large country. Since the ti dynasty, Kaifeng has been repaired and prepared, but they are all sewn on the basis of the original city.

Therefore, nowadays, the Kaifeng City in Liu Chengyou's eyes is inherently prosperous, but what he understands more deeply is that it is messy and dirty.

It is not the first time that Liu Chengyou has lamented that the city of Kaifeng is small and the roads are crowded. In the whole city, the sanitary situation is particularly worrisome, with the accumulation of sewage flows, poor drainage, silting up of waterways, especially in summer, and the smell of decay and rancid smell will occupy the city again, especially in the market. The system of separating and closing the market is also becoming more and more backward, especially in Kaifeng, where the commercial atmosphere is becoming stronger.

The houses are densely packed, and the people are often disturbed by fireworks. Basically, every month, fires break out in the city, and most of them are concentrated in the private squares. If you look around, you can see the smell of fireworks, and if it is morning and evening, the entire outer city of Tokyo will be filled with smoke.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of urban planning, the ancient urban foundation of Kaifeng is in serious conflict with the development needs of the imperial capital of a dynasty, and the urban management capacity of the Kaifeng government is seriously lacking.

Don't look at Hou Yi's appointment as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, there have been two vigorous rectifications, but that only meets the most basic needs of Kaifeng public security, and it is far from the smooth governance of the wind and rain.

Of course, no matter how many shortcomings Kaifeng has, it does not hide its geographical and economic advantages.

"Tokyo is already so rich, Lang Jun still wants to rebuild?" Zhen Xiaoniang looked at Liu Chengyou's side cheek and asked.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou took a hard breath, tilted his head and asked softly: "In this air, in addition to the smell of grass and trees, what else does you smell?" ”

Qinglian's eyes were full of suspicion, Zhen Xiaoniang showed a delicate look, tried to sniff it, experienced it seriously, frowned slightly, and said, "There seems to be a faint sour smell." ”

Nodding, Liu Chengyou walked directly on a street not far away, and continued to ask: "That road is the main road here, do you think it may be passable by car?" ”

Zhen Xiaoniang looked at it, thought about it, and shook her head: "I'm afraid I can't!" ”

The city road here is narrow and crowded, and the passage is barely passable with the wide nature of the royal car, but the word "reluctantly" has been enough to show its inconvenience.

Seeing that the little lady had a little thought on her face, as if she had gained something, Liu Chengyou secretly liked her wisdom in her heart, turned around and pointed to the south: "Look at that boat, the journey is difficult, how much time does it take to get to Beishi?" ”

Following the direction of Liu Chengyou's finger, it can be seen that on the tributary of Bianshui, there is a small boat, full of goods, passing through the waterway, wanting to go to the city. However, due to the obstruction of roads and buildings, you need to go around to enter the market.

"I don't know!" Zhi Xiaoniang pondered for a while, shook her head, but after a pause, she said affirmatively: "But, I understand what Lang Jun means!" ”

Seeing that Zhen Xiaoniang comprehended her thoughts so quickly, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but feel happy, and sighed secretly in his heart, worthy of being "She Taijun", really a strange woman, not ordinary not to let her eyebrows.

"It's a pity, I can't cultivate it!" Liu Chengyou sighed again.

"Why?" Zhen Xiaoniang was really aroused by curiosity.

Liu Chengyou spread his hands and made a helpless expression: "No money and no food, how to rebuild?" ”

Zhi Xiaoniang didn't say anything stupid about how the emperor had no money, but showed a look of understanding and said with relief: "When Langjun has money, he will repair it again!" ”

Hearing his simple words, Liu Chengyou shook his head and couldn't help laughing.

Of course, when the court has money, it is estimated that it will have to wait. Today's Han court, in addition to normal administrative and military expenditures, does not dare to spend money indiscriminately. Recently, the only major expenditure has been the transfer of river workers.

Just as Wang Pu had expected before, after the beginning of the summer, the compilation of the "Great Han Criminal System" was completed, the edict was published to the world, and young officials were transferred from the court and, totaling more than 50 people, to study the "Criminal System".

The "Criminal System" was completed, a total of 13 months before and after, adhering to Liu Chengyou's original will, in addition to revising and adding or subtracting as appropriate, using the old law as a blueprint, and then briefly describing it, so as to make it easy to understand.

Of course, this "easy to understand" also has thresholds and steps, and it cannot be understood by knowing a few words. In the years when literature and Taoism were not flourishing, the quality of the literati in the world as a whole was degraded, and most literati, even if they studied and understood the old law and those who were obscure and complicated, did not necessarily make sense.

And Liu Chengyou's selection of people to practice the law, are selected from Kaifeng Mansion, Dali, Criminal Department, and Yushitai, which is specially for the imperial court to cultivate legal talents, and a new department was established, called the law supervisor, recommended by Fan Qian, to serve the imperial history Zhang Xiang as the supervisor. Among these people, as long as they are successful in their studies, they will be sent to Tianxia Prefecture and County to be the judge of the case.

At the same time, in order to promote the "Criminal Unification", Liu Chengyou ordered all the people in the world to go to the state capital and called on officials, officials and scholars to study. And it is allowed to be held for a period of three years, and it is a special system for the Ming Law Section.

The Han law has been completed, and the fan quality is the first merit, and the book is promoted to Zuocheng, and the chapter is the same as the Pingzhang, and the marquis is sealed. became the youngest prime minister in the court, which can be regarded as the seat to replace Dou Zhengu. The rest of the officials who participated in the legislation, there were more than ten people, and they were given more money, food, utensils, and silk, and then promoted according to their talents. or in a substantive position, or like the law supervisor Zhang Xiang, as a doctor of law, a full-time professor.

As for Wang Pu, after the law was completed, he worked non-stop and vigorously prepared for the control of the river. Summoned a cadre of rough river fortifications and left Beijing to investigate the hydrological details of the Bianshui Basin.

The matter of controlling the river has been officially started, and the money and grain have been prepared, so there is no reason for misappropriation. Moreover, the matter of river engineering is also related to the strategy of the imperial court to the south.

Therefore, at this moment, even if Liu Chengyou has the heart to plan to expand Kaifeng, he is also more than willing to do it. Of course, the imperial court still has a surplus of grain for the time being, but that is a strategic reserve to prevent unexpected situations such as border affairs and disasters. The most important thing is to make good reserves of money and grain for the southern expedition.

In fact, from the moment Liu Chengyou set the strategy of recuperation, gathering money and food, and repairing armor to win over Huainan, various preparations have been launched. At that time, once the war starts, the money and food will be spent, and the imperial court will have no energy to manage Kaifeng.

On the other hand, Liu Chengyou still has another layer of concerns about whether to repair Kaifeng or not. Because Liu Chengyou's mind will be flooded with the idea of moving the capital from time to time, Kaifeng can be used as the economic center of the Han Dynasty, but in the political and military, especially in military defense, it really makes people suspicious.
