Chapter 724. Three years
Rome was not built in a day, but there were 400,000 men and women laborers, and Chang'an City could be built in three years!
If there is a high-speed camera far away at the central axis of Chang'an City, since Wang Hou Cao Zhang laughed and left to accelerate, then the street is like a group of magical ants, click-click, the thirty-three-meter Cao Zong colossus was piled up little by little, rising from the ground, and finally stood like a giant in Chang'an City, and finally as if it was sunburned, the original cement-colored skin robe turned bronze.
Under the gaze of his wide robe and mighty sword, Chang'an City, which was originally towering within the city wall, also changed rapidly, and it was also under the hurried reclamation of these ants, the square lattice walls on both sides of the road appeared neatly, and then the ground that was still growing weeds was quickly paved by small stones one by one, and then poured cement on it, and then smoothed inch by inch.
In this design, Wang Hou also took into account the city's water supply and sewage for the first time, no square has built an underground sewer, and the well water dug out of each workshop is lifted by a water wheel, and then led to the street with a high canal, each street has a canal, although it is far less convenient than the tap water in later generations, but it is also much more convenient than Yecheng and the old Chang'an.
Then, Wang Yexiang's name was shouted louder in Chang'an City, there was no night ban in the new Chang'an City, but Timo's night incense must be poured on time and on time in the night incense library in the market, and then at a fixed time every week, the government will send people to transport it to the outside of the city in a large car.
These night incense pulled out by Chang'an people were pressed out of saltpeter by Wang Hou under the action of composting, and then the fermented farmhouse fertilizer was re-applied to the fertile fields of the Wei River near Chang'an, and finally eaten back into the stomach of Chang'an people, perfect grain reincarnation.
When Cao Cao appointed Wang Hou as the great star of Guanzhong, he probably didn't expect that in the three years he stipulated, Wang Hou really pacified Guanxi, and in five years, a prosperous Chang'an City really rose again, with a resident population of 160,000 households and more than 500,000 people, and it is still increasing, and the tax revenue of Chang'an City officially exceeded Yecheng this year.
Wang Hou is starting to return to his roots!
And in addition to the feat of building Chang'an City, Wang Hou also unlocked a major achievement, the Qiang rebellion that had disturbed Guanxi for more than a hundred years was quelled in his hands, not to mention, and even the entire Guanxi Qianghu people, who originally had a population of nearly one million, quickly dropped to only more than 200,000 remnants in the Hexi Corridor and Hanzhong where Wang Hou's tentacles could not be completely covered.
Of course, these people were not slaughtered, but almost all of them were sinicized!
The Qiang people of Longshang, who were fortunate not to be moved away by Wang Hou, are now repentant, compared with the Liangzhou Thorn History or the Qiang Captain who governed the Qiang in the previous dynasties, the biggest difference between Wang Hou is that he did not let the Qiang people who were pacified fend for themselves, but gave them valuable job opportunities.
Build Chang'an City, a month can earn a consistent amount of money and half a stone of grain, a year of twelve money is equivalent to eight years of farming in Longshang to earn, with money in hand, the Qiang people who originally lived in tents began to buy houses and land in Chang'an City, and also built a two-story cement building, with a small yard.
And after the construction of Chang'an City is completed, it does not mean that they will lose their jobs, Wang Hou also has to govern the Wei River and the Yan River in the Loess Plateau, which requires a lot of manpower, and it is completely different from the previous government to use labor, all of which are given money and grain.
And thanks to the children of Dongqiang for the gift to Wang Hou, so that Wang Hou found the first pillar industry for his newly built Chang'an City!
Oil!
Looking at the hot sales of soybean oil sold by Wang Hou in the first year, you can know how blank the oil market in the Han Empire was.
Guanxi also has unique conditions for planting rape flowers, the Loess Plateau of the Yulin generation in Yan'an was originally the territory of Dongqiang, but with the development of Chang'an, the land near the Weihe River was re-irrigated and cultivated, and there was a special lack of labor, coupled with Wang Hou's open policy, most of the two or three hundred thousand Dongqiang people came out of the relatively barren Loess Plateau and went to the Guanzhong Plain to make a living.
The planting of rape flowers does not require land, and the demand for water is not high, as long as the land is loosened, and then sprinkled with rapeseed, the Dongqiang people withdrew, and Wang Hou organized manpower to set up the Guanzhong Oil Chamber of Commerce, and then organized to sow seeds on the Loess Plateau that has been barren and empty, and planted rape flowers in a large area.
Then Wang Hou's light industry achievements unlocked a big monopoly trophy, and the rapeseed oil produced by millions of acres of rapeseed flowers could monopolize nearly 70 percent of the market, only slightly inferior to the cotton textile industry in southern Qingzhou, which accounted for 96 percent of the cotton cloth output of the Han Empire.
Now Chang'an has more than 20 square pillar industry is oil extraction, with more than 400 large and small oil mills, the oil produced is sold to the east to Qingzhou Liaodong, to the south to Jingzhou, to the north is the naturalization city, but also to those who have been eating meat oil for a long time to change the taste, to the west is even more amazing, have opened up to the international market, sold to the Persian Guishan. dm
Then there is the Silk Road in the Western Regions that Wang Hou has always been thinking about.
In fact, the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty was profitable, and the Silk Road of the Han Dynasty was out of excess and lost money, just look at the Han Wu Emperor, the loser can be seen, casting the golden horse, go to Dawan to buy the sweat and blood horse, and finally the horse did not buy not to say, the golden horse also let people deduct, and the later generations paid the deposit in the 4S store, but the car was not mentioned, and the deposit was also deducted by the general, how miserable it was.
Although it cannot be said that the Han Dynasty lost money, many common things such as carrots, pepper, sesame seeds and so on in later generations were bought back through the Silk Road during the Han Dynasty, but in the end, the Han Dynasty still paid real money, silver and bronze, which belonged to the link that was cut by scissors in international trade.
So you can't go to Wang Hou!
In order to open the Silk Road, Wang Hou even moved out of the bone china, half of the bone china produced in Liucheng was transported to Guanzhong through the grassland railway, and there were cotton cloth from Qingzhou, iron from Ma'anshan, wool from the grassland, silk from the Central Plains, and according to the Silk Road trade of the Han Dynasty, this time the civil nature was several times stronger, and only the Xianbei people had six Western trade caravans.
In international trade, Lao Tzu Huanghan must be the black hand holding the big scissors!
The last achievement of Chang'an City is the cultural industry!
Why did the ancient Roman Empire last so long, the Western Roman Empire perished, and the Eastern Roman Empire could hold on for so long, Wang Hou summed up one of the points, that is, the Romans were particularly good at playing!
The Colosseum, the Hippodrome, the Grand Place, the Opera House! One after another, the rich and idle aristocrats spent a lot of money to raise gladiators, watch opera music, and spend all their minds on playing, even if the sharp political struggle, that is, a group of top bigwigs engaged in assassination or something, most of the coups were confined to the capital, unlike the Han Empire, where the family gate lords stood in line, and a political storm was enough to tear apart the empire.
Okay, you'll play, I'll take it! Next to the West Market, the square was wrapped by the swinger of the high-speed rail, all of which were big swords of the casino club, and then next to both ends of the central axis of Chang'an, the Chang'an Grand Theater, the racecourse in the city with three squares, the Chang'an Grand Library, and so on!
After three years of being busy like a contractor, Wang Hou himself can finally stop and enjoy life.
In mid-June, sitting on the train that had just been opened by the Prairie Railway, Cao Hongjie couldn't wait to let go of his annual leave to Chang'an, and even Lu Ji followed.
Wang Hou finally lived to be the most "hated" appearance in later generations, the appearance of his mother's rich man!
In later generations, the enjoyment of the level of criticism, the grand theater that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, there are only twelve boxes on the second floor, Wang Hou's inherent private room is still facing the stage, and the view can not be better, which in later generations, without the identity of the world's top 500, it is estimated that it will not be enjoyed.
Seeing that the famous imperial capital of a flower came out of the brazier reflected from several large mirrors, Changle, who is particularly fond of watching dramas, put the telescope in front of him with great interest, and Wang Hou also comfortably pulled his two wives who had not seen him for a long time to shrink in a dark corner, and was about to do some sneaky and obscene things, when he couldn't help but slam the door behind him, which scared Wang Hou into a clever way, and almost didn't bow down to Cai Lun and Cai Hou.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing that Cao Zhang, who still had a red lip print on his face, panted and rushed in, an old man with a pulled face, Wang Hou asked tragically.
I was also out of breath, and the third young master Cao, who didn't know where the big sword was just now, didn't have time to tidy up his clothes, and he stumbled and shouted like Deng Ai.
"Sister......, brother-in-law, ......, it's a big deal!"
"King Wei is coming to Chang'an!"
