Chapter 775 Xijin Mansion, Beijing City
In five days, Zhao Zhen's train arrived from Tokyo City to Xijin Mansion in just five days, which was unthinkable in the past, and it was never necessary to know that the distance between the two places usually took three or two months, even if the rich had a carriage, it would take more than a month to arrive.
This speed even Wang Yuyan was speechless in surprise, she didn't think it took long, as if she had just left Tokyo City yesterday, although it was still outside the city of Xijin Mansion, but she could already see the tall Imperial City Tower, and the boundless Beijing City!
Although she has never been to Xijin Mansion, but Zhending Mansion has been, Wang Yuyan still remembers that she went to her aunt's house in Zhending Mansion with her father, and it took more than a month on the road, and this Xijin Mansion is still in the north of Zhending Mansion!
But what she didn't know was that this short five days took the Great Song Dynasty nearly five years, from the beginning of Zhao Zhen's Northern Expedition, the railroad tracks began to be laid, and countless craftsmen worked hard to eat and sleep in the open, just to lay the two railroad tracks to Xijin Mansion.
At the same time, the forging of this rail also made the iron-making and forging technology of the Great Song Dynasty develop rapidly, and the iron level of the Great Song Dynasty could not be underestimated.
The most important thing about the train is its endurance, unlike the trains of later generations, the train of the Great Song Dynasty has not yet set up a station, but it is just from Tokyo City to Xijin Prefecture, without any stop time in between, at most because of the fault repair, Zhao Xiaowu, who is responsible for driving the train at the locomotive position, has moved all the things needed into the locomotive, and also has two apprentices, so eating, sleeping, and even bathing can be rotated.
When the train arrived, Zhao Xiaowu was undoubtedly the most excited person, the train was developed under his leadership, Zhao Zhen personally met him after getting off the train, and encouraged a lot, and gave him an official.
Naturally, there were only the emperor and the harem ladies and heirs on the train, and the carriages of the officials did not know when they would arrive.
At the same time, there are also people with crowds, this is the big day to move the capital, the official family first arrived in the new capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are already thousands of empty alleys in the Xijin Mansion, who doesn't want to see the emperor's face? From now on they are the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Thanks to the benevolence of the official family, they don't have to move out of their original homes, so as to become the people of the capital, no matter how rough their minds are, they can understand Zhao Zhen's painstaking efforts, and the official family does not need to expand the city of Xijin Mansion so much, this kind of time-consuming and labor-intensive thing is to keep the people from suffering.
There are nearly one million people in the city of Tokyo, and even if they don't all follow, the population of hundreds of thousands of people can't be resettled in the original Xijin Prefecture.
At the same time, the expansion continued, and the laborers of Xijin Province had begun to build a larger city, which was said to be the outer city of Xijin Province, and provided a lot of work for the local people.
The living environment of the province is even better than that of the city of Tokyo, and the current province has been officially renamed the Beijing of the Great Song Dynasty, thus replacing the city of Tokyo as the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, the surrounding area of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty was divided into Jing County, Chi County and Ji County, the county under the jurisdiction of the capital was Chi County, and the side of the capital was Ji County, collectively referred to as Gyeonggi, and the Great Song Dynasty followed the Tang system, and within the scope of the land of Gyeonggi, the Gyeonggi Road was demarcated.
The cavalry of the Beiwei army arrived first, cleared the road and set up a guard of honor, and the officials and people rushed up at once, and surrounded the Wuli Pavilion on the inside and outside of the three layers, waiting to see His Majesty's heavenly face.
And the officials of Xijin Mansion are even more nervous, because they are only officials of Xijin Mansion, not Beijing Dynasty officials, although after moving the capital, their grades will also become Beijing Dynasty officials, but they have not been mixed with the officials of Tokyo City for a long time to come calmly, originally just an official of the land of a government, and now suddenly become Beijing Dynasty officials, naturally let them be a little uncomfortable, many people are even young junior officials, and they have not gone through much investigation!
With the sound of nine cannons, Zhao Zhen's holy car slowly appeared, and behind it seemed to be a truck dragging all kinds of items in the palace, Zhao Zhen felt embarrassed, Wang Yuyan glared at Vera and Yang Caiwei, in fact, her things are the most......
The interaction with the officials ended quickly, because these young and honest officials were not good at slapping horses at all, and they felt that the most important thing was to let the officials hurry into the Xijin Mansion, no, the imperial palace in Beijing City to rest.
In Wang Yuyan's opinion, the imperial road in Tokyo City is wide enough, but it is still far from the imperial road in Beijing City in front of her, the wide imperial road is 20 zhang wide, and it does not look cold among the rows of houses and shops.
The people all stood on both sides of the royal road and bowed down, which was the respect of the emperor and the gratitude to Zhao Zhen for his kindness, and the heavenly family deserved it! In the face of hundreds of thousands of people bowing down, up to the old people who are dying, and the children who babble and babble, Zhao Zhen is in a stirring mood, these are his own people, and they will become a part of his life.
couldn't help but pull Wang Yuyan out of the car, even the emperor and queen got out of the car, Vera and Yang Caiwei, who were the imperial concubines, naturally couldn't sit still, and pulled the imperial heir to get out of the car quickly, so the sound of long live in Xijin Mansion rumbled, and the mountains roared and the tsunami shattered Cangyu.
Zhao Zhen walked back to the palace with his family from the royal road in this way, and the voices of the people were also one after another, very excited, the benevolence and proximity of the official family really deserved its reputation!
And Wang Yuyan and the other three daughters of the harem were speechless in surprise after seeing the imperial city of Xijin Mansion, they were used to living in the imperial palace of Tokyo City for the first time to see such a magnificent building, Yang Caiwei felt shocked, and Vera was looking up.
Wang Yuyan was the calmest, but she muttered to herself: "Covering more than 300 miles, isolating the sky." Five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor; The corridor waist is back, and the eaves teeth are pecked high; Each hugs the terrain and fights with each other. Coiled, embarrassed, beehive water vortex, I don't know how tens of millions of ...... Official, let's live here in the future? Isn't it like Qin Zhi's house! ”
Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "That's right, our heavenly family will live here in the future, since the founding of Tianshui once the country, it will be the capital of Kaifeng Tokyo City, limited by the terrain, the palace is narrow, can not be extended outward, damage to the people's home, can only be carved to the extreme flawless."
And now I moved the capital of Xijin Beijing City, the terrain is open, there is a barrier in the north, although it is a tiger in the northwest, but it also has the meaning of expanding the palace city, showing the weather of the son of heaven. ”
Wang Yuyan's three daughters looked at each other and nodded again and again: "What the official family said is extremely true!" Extremely! In the hearts of these women, their husband's political choice is naturally correct, and they value the magnanimity of the Beijing City Palace more.
