Chapter 718. Chang An Xiong
If this is to open express delivery in ancient times, it is estimated that people will have to complain to death! Even if there was a river to help with the transportation, it took two months for the vast team to retreat from Yicheng back to Chang'an, and it was too difficult to walk without the era when the highway was not open to traffic!
During this period, there were countless Qiang people who froze to death on the road and went out of business, and along the way, Wang Hou also did a particularly cruel job, if it was a woman or a child, he could also give some support, and the old Qiang people simply let him fall in the snow and leave it alone.
On the one hand, among the tribes, the most nostalgic is probably these old people, they live in the tribe, will form a tenacious conservative force, on the other hand, the old man really can't do much work, although Wang Hou is a rich man, but every time he transports a grain to Guanzhong, he has to eat one halfway, and he is also living tightly, so these old people who don't bring much income are as much as possible to eliminate as much as possible through nature.
Brutal and true!
However, the cruel survival of the fittest all the way, when these Qiang people arrived at the former center of the empire, they still couldn't help but stare roundly, and their mouths were rounded in surprise.
There is no way, in the face of the miraculous magnificent buildings cast by human beings, even future generations can't help but be amazed, just like the tourists who take pictures around the pyramids, not to mention that the productivity of this era is not as good as that of the Han people.
And Chang'an City is definitely one of the miracles of this era.
Well, of course it's not the already tattered Han Chang'an City! It is the Tang Chang'an City that Wang Hou has rebuilt by Weishui since he set out for this year!
Well, it's not appropriate to say this, because the Time and Space Administration made a mistake, or Schrödinger's watch or something, this era has Wang Hou, the demon, and it's hard to say whether the glorious Tang Dynasty in the future can appear, anyway, the magnificent Chang'an City was put on the project by Wang Hou again.
Even if you put aside the political elements of Chang'an as the capital of a country, as an important international dry port on the Silk Road, Chang'an City has to show its due majesty! At least it has to make people look extraordinarily majestic and lively at a glance, coming here to do business can definitely make a pot full of overflowing appearance, with the current dilapidated Han Chang'an, like a beggar's nest, who wants to come here to do business?
Moreover, this expedition to the west made Wang Hou see the true meaning of business again, and the distance is the cost! Although Guihua City has special products, in the intersection of east and west, it really needs a large-scale transit station.
It's right now!
The palace wall of Chang'an City in Han Dynasty is only ten meters, and the north defense Guo wall built during the period of Emperor Wu of Han is only six meters, this time, you have to do a big one, Wang Hou in his hands, the magnificent Chang'an city wall is full of fifteen meters, and at the city gate everywhere, there is also a wall tower more than five meters high, so that the highest place is full of twenty meters.
And! If there are mountains around, 20 meters is not too high, but it's just! This generation is the Weihe Plain, and there is no building that is higher than the Chang'an city wall around, and suddenly come to this cement-gray city wall, it is like a huge mountain suddenly rising from the ground on the flat ground, full of shock.
Not to mention these earthen buns withdrawn from Longshang, Wang Hou himself didn't expect that he would casually mark a sixty-foot graphic on Cai Hou's paper, and actually build such a behemoth.
However, seeing the huge city that suddenly appeared in front of me by the slanting sun, the most excited thing was not the owner of Wang Hou, but the son of Cao Zhang!
"Wow, wow, wow! Naturalized City Polais! No, it's supposed to be Lianjiaogang Po Lasi! Wow ha, Lao Tzu is here! ”
The urban development of the Han Dynasty is still in the early stage, even if the capital of Yecheng is Xudu, there are only a few wine shops and song houses, and the city of the Han Dynasty strictly enforces the curfew! Back then, Cao Cao once used a five-flower stick to kill the uncle of the ten permanent eunuchs Jian Shuo because of the implementation of the curfew, so it was said that it was a flying eagle! Except for hunting and flirting with a folk girl, the playboy of the Han Dynasty was really not interesting.
So Cao Zhang's career didn't start until he went to Qingzhou! Because Wang Hou's city does not enforce curfews! The red light district of the song house wine shop that is open until midnight, the "bathing city" that only existed in the late Ming Dynasty in the later generations, the casino that is not suitable for children, and the orange garden, which is funded by the government and specially built the oriental version of the opera house! In short, Wang Hou has exhausted his thoughts, compared to the cold political center of Xudu, Yecheng! Regardless of Zhaocheng, Island City, or Lianjiao, which was built later, and Naturalized City, this is called a city with more fireworks and human atmosphere!
Since the previous year, he was fooled by Wang Hou to this desolate Kansai, Cao Zhangdu has not returned to Huacheng for three years, these days Cao Zhang has dreamed of playing billiards in the Gaojia Gambling House, betting on horses at the racecourse, or doing something that can't be written with a lewd smile on his face in the Chu Pavilion, seeing that a big city suddenly appeared, this thing is simply following the devil, the corners of his mouth are drooling, and he broke away from the team and went straight to the past with golden eyes, and Sun Shangxiang shouted behind him and didn't hear that.
However, in Wang Hou's self-satisfied and helpless gaze, he ran all the way to the downstairs of the extraordinarily spacious and magnificent Wumen City, which was more than five meters high, and in the next second, Cao Zhang stayed there as if he had been struck by lightning.
…………
"Liar! Swindler! ”
Angry, grunting and pouring a bowl of frustrated bitter wine, the third young master's cheapness was like a broken love, dangling in the courtyard in a daze, looking at his depressed appearance, even Wang Hou himself couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
The typical gold and jade are outside, and they are ruined! The outer city wall looked particularly magnificent, but as soon as you entered, it was empty! Except for the time when he set off, the Sanqing Juguan built on the right side of the central axis of the city, and the government treasury on the right side was built, and the remaining positions were empty, and the ground was not bulldozed.
This is still thanks to the reinforced cement that Wang Hou crossed, there is no need to take the triple soil inch by inch to ram and cast like later generations, directly raise the five-meter sandwich wall, nail the steel bar in the middle, and then dig the cement pit on the ground, mix the cement produced in Liaodong with the crushed stone and mix it evenly, and then the migrant workers push along the slope to push a cart to water it out, and the triple jump is as fast as casting.
There is no trick, one is the lack of materials, and the other is the lack of labor.
But now!
When I returned to Chang'an City on the Weishui side, it was already evening, and it was even darker today, but inside the entire huge city, there was a campfire flickering, and about 250,000 migratory Qiang people were all in place, and they were assigned to the various building brigades in the four corners of the city wall.
Coupled with Dongqiang's ...... being fooled, cough cough, the Qiang people who came with him, he has at least 350,000 construction workers under him! Standing in the central tower of Sanqingguan and looking down, Wang Hou's pupils seemed to have seen countless shirtless and sturdy workers wearing hard hats shouting excitedly for the boss.
He Wang Hou is simply the first foreman of the Han Empire, ......, phew! Real Estate Developer!
With this team! If the construction of Chang'an City is not completed, is Guanzhong not prosperous?
However, just when Cao Zhang was frustrated downstairs and Wang Hou was looking forward to the future excitedly, the wooden door of the attic was suddenly pushed open, and he did not participate in a big battle.
"My lord! This is the bill for the transportation and construction of various materials this year, please read it at your fingertips! ”
Full of the miracle building he was about to build, Wang Hou didn't care about taking the black book casually, but when he turned the first page, his eyes were already round, and his face twitched violently.
"Teemo's so expensive?"
