And walking into Changsha City, it was even more shocking to Emperor Dea Xing.

Although Zhao Dongting has only been in Changsha for less than three years, this time is enough for him to develop Changsha into a pearl of this era.

It's just the outer city, and the courtyards surrounded by white walls and black tiles and the red brick pavilions can be seen.

There are many large and small stone lions placed outside the house, which is enough to show that the owner of the house is quite good.

Of course, this has something to do with Zhao Dongting's policy.

After arriving in Changsha, he distributed the wasteland outside Changsha to the people. Later, in the form of a combination of government and business, a large number of construction projects were carried out in the city, repairing and improving the inner and outer cities, and expanding them.

Many of the vacant houses and newly built houses in the city were sold by him to the people who wanted to move to Changsha City.

And it is also ingenious to come up with a mortgage system, so that people can only make a down payment and then go to the bank to repay it every month.

This greatly lowered the threshold for buying a house, allowing many people to live in Changsha City.

At the same time, it also attracted many wealthy people to Changsha City. At that time, there was a scene of 10,000 people robbing houses in Changsha, and the government was impassable, and it is said that some people even bought more than ten houses directly.

The Great Song Dynasty received a lot of gold and silver income. Those foremen who built houses for the imperial court also became the first group of people in Changsha to become rich.

They are not much different from the construction bosses of later generations.

Later, Zhao Dongting encouraged business in Changsha City.

There are many inns, restaurants and so on in the city.

And it prospered.

The road is open, the city is beautiful, and it is really difficult not to prosper.

Later, the imperial examination system was restructured, and Yuelu Academy and other famous schools were famous all over the world, which made Changsha City even more busy.

Although I dare not say that everyone in Changsha City is rich now, if you want to say that you have no worries about food and clothing, there is absolutely no exaggeration.

And such a grand occasion cannot be seen in Liuqiuzi.

North Taoyuan, Zhongdou North, and South Jiangong, any of these cities will never have such a grand occasion as Changsha. It's even far from it.

Emperor Ah Xing followed Lu Xiufu into the city on his horse.

It is surrounded by the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army and Liuqiu soldiers.

Emperor Ah Xing looked sideways at the scene on the street again and again, and at this moment he suddenly felt that he was a frog at the bottom of the well.

It's hard to imagine that there will be a city as busy as Changsha in the world.

He couldn't help but think, I am afraid that Lin'an, the old capital of the Great Song Dynasty, was only a scene like Changsha when it was the most prosperous.

Looking at the smiles and relaxed faces of the people on the street, Emperor A Xing was very envious in his heart.

He suddenly turned his head and asked Lu Xiufu, "State Order, dare to ask how many people are in Changsha City now?" ”

If there is not enough population, Changsha City must not be allowed to appear so prosperous.

Lu Xiufu stroked his beard and chuckled, "Is the lord asking about this only Changsha City, or does it include the prefectures and counties around Changsha City?" ”

Emperor Xing said: "How about excluding prefectures and counties?" What about prefectures and counties? ”

Lu Xiufu replied: "Including the surrounding prefectures and counties, there must be a population of 1.07 million. And in this Changsha city, it accounted for 420,000. ”

Emperor Xing's face showed an extremely shocked look.

In this era, it is extremely rare for a city to have hundreds of thousands of people. As far as he knows, even if Lin'an was at the beginning, the population in Lin'an City alone would not be more than that of Changsha now.

And now, the Great Song Dynasty is still in a period of rapid development.

After coming back to his senses, Emperor Ah Xing muttered with emotion: "In a few years, this Changsha City may have a population of one million, right?" ”

Lu Xiufu smiled: "It's not impossible. Now Changsha's population is growing at a rapid rate. ”

Emperor Xing's expression was even more shocked, "Million Male City, it's really shocking to think about it!" We are afraid that it will be difficult for this kind of grand scene to appear. ”

No wonder he said such things.

After all, Liuqiu is only such a big place, and it is only an overseas country. Up to now, the total population of the entire country is probably less than the population in Changsha.

Lu Xiufu showed a slight pride on the side and did not answer again. I'm afraid of hurting Emperor Xing's self-esteem.

Changsha can have such a grand occasion, it is the emperor's wisdom and martial arts.

Liuqiu did not have a monarch like the emperor, how could there be such a grand scene?

And when he went to the inner city, Emperor Ah Xing was even more shocked.

The inner city of Changsha is much more prosperous and lively than the outer city.

The crowd flowed endlessly.

All kinds of people can be seen everywhere on the streets, rich merchants in brocade robes, and people with weapons.

It wasn't until he approached Zicheng that he finally calmed down.

It's hard to see the people around.

This is where the imperial palace and the official offices in Changsha City are located, and the people will not approach here when there is nothing to do.

The royal street in front of the palace is more than ten meters wide.

The floors are covered in white marble. On both sides of the street, there are dragon pillars carved with five-clawed golden dragons made of white marble, facing each other and about 10 meters apart.

The entire royal street leads directly to the gate of the palace, and the length is also very particular. It is 9,999 feet, which is the number of poles, symbolizing the eternal prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty.

This was enough to shock Emperor Dea Xing and the soldiers under his command, and even had the feeling of wanting to bow and worship.

At the beginning of Doubei City, the building complex of the Wulin League can be described as vast, but compared to this Changsha Imperial Palace, there is undoubtedly still a little gap.

And when you see the main entrance of the palace, you will be even more shocked.

This is after Zhao Dongting arrived in Changsha, with the increasing prosperity of Changsha City and rebuilt. The yellow city wall is more than ten meters high.

On the top of the city, you can see a forest of flags.

The palace guards were in full armor and had a grim expression.

When Emperor Ah Xing and the others arrived in front of the palace, they naturally stopped.

Then, I saw Zhao Dongting leading the guards and eunuchs to come out of the corridor.

Lu Xiufu and other Great Song officials hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and saluted Zhao Dongting, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Zhao Dongting stood at the gate of the palace, smiled at Emperor A Xing, and said loudly: "Please beg the lord to enter the palace!" ”

There was a trumpet at the head of the city.

Dozens of Praetorian guards carried huge horns on their shoulders, and soldiers puffed out their cheeks and blew vigorously.

The sound of the horn is empty and loud, "Hmm......"

Emperor Xing arched his hand at Zhao Dongting. Then he got out of the chariot and walked behind Zhao Dongting to enter the palace.

Hundreds of mermaids poured in.

Inside the Imperial Palace, there is an extremely spacious white jade square. Among them, rockeries, fountains, and so on can be seen.

The palace designed by Zhao Dongting is no different from the manor. Not only majestic, but also beautiful.

Although the money used to rebuild the Changsha Palace was quite good for Zhao Dongting and Chen Jianghan, after the Changsha Palace was successfully rebuilt, everyone felt that it was worth the money.

Go deeper, and the soldiers brought by Emperor Ah Xing will be taken away. Emperor Ah Xing only took Mo Li to follow Zhao Dongting to the main hall.

In the main hall, the feast has been set up. Zhao Dongting and many humerus ministers of the Great Song Dynasty took over the wind and washed the dust for Emperor Ah Xing.

During the banquet, Emperor A Xing only praised the current Great Song Dynasty for its rich livelihood, which was shocking.

This naturally made the humerus ministers of the Great Song Dynasty have a bright face.

No matter how good the family is, it's not interesting just for the family to look at it, and it still has to be seen by outsiders to feel face.

Zhao Dongting said that as long as Liuqiu and the Great Song Dynasty always maintained friendly and close trade exchanges, Liuqiu would inevitably be able to have such a grand occasion in the future.

The flow of climate is pleasant and the production capacity is abundant. Every year, the export of crops, fruits and vegetables from the Great Song Dynasty still brings them a lot of economic benefits.

There are also many merchants in the Great Song Dynasty who often go to Liuqiu, which also brings a lot of anger to Liuqiu.

When Emperor Xing heard Zhao Dongting's words, there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Now the Great Song Dynasty and Liuqiu are in peace, but this is because the Great Song Dynasty has not yet been able to destroy several surrounding countries. No one knows what it will be like in the future.

Zhao Dongting's layout of the Dongsha Islands is already a signal.

The Great Song Dynasty often had official ships going to those so-called overseas continents, passing through the coastal sea countries of the Great Song Dynasty.

Who knows if the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will include these overseas countries into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty in order to save trouble?

Da Song has such strength.

Emperor Ah Xing would not be so naïve as to think that he and Zhao Dongting were old acquaintances, so he could let Zhao Dongting ask for special treatment.

Overseas countries have a pleasant climate and can be described as a treasure land.

As the banquet was about to end, Emperor Ah Xing suddenly stood up.

He arched his hand to Zhao Dongting and said, "In order to maintain the eternal friendship between the two countries of Liuqiu and the Great Song Dynasty, Emperor Ah Xing is willing to respect the Song Emperor as the emperor." ”

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, and then shook his head, "No, no, the emperor can't." ”
