Chapter 770: Prosperous Chang'an

Chang'an is very prosperous.

Although it has just been used as the capital of the Tang Kingdom, under the development of the previous year, Chang'an is really different.

In fact, since the Tang Dynasty encouraged business and gave merchants some preferential treatment, merchants from various countries in China have flocked to Chang'an City.

In the eastern and western cities, there are not many vacant shops now, and some people have even extended to both sides in order to meet the needs of more shops.

Chang'an City has doubled in size compared to before, and there are many people coming and going on the streets.

Li Yu looked at it like this and felt very comfortable, the task of the system should be completed soon.

Walk through the long street and enter the Royal Palace.

This used to be the palace of the Qi Kingdom, but now there is no trace of the Qi Kingdom, the palace has been repaired by Fang Xuanling, which is much more majestic than before, and has more flavor of the Tang Kingdom.

Qi Rou watched the palace she was once familiar with become like this, and her heart was more or less uncomfortable.

But when she glanced at Li Yu, she showed a shallow smile.

Perhaps, for a woman like her, what imperial hegemony or national affairs have nothing to do with her, as long as she has Li Yu, it is enough.

There are many bedrooms in the harem, Qi Rou and the Red Whisk Girl each have a bedroom, and Queen Su Rong is naturally no exception.

Li Yu didn't care much about these things.

After visiting the palace, he rested early, after all, the time was not early, everything would be said tomorrow in the first morning of Chang'an City.

It was late at night, and the whole palace was quiet.

Li Yu was lying on the bed tossing and turning, a little unable to sleep.

He got up, he was not a person who recognized the bed, for him, as long as he was comfortable, he could fall asleep anywhere, but for some reason, tonight, in this palace, he did not feel sleepy.

Was it too excited, or what?

It's mid-spring, and the insects are chirping outside.

Li Yu pushed open the door and walked out, and the two maids hurriedly ran over: "Do you have any instructions from the saint?" ”

Li Yu waved his hand: "I want to go anywhere." ”

The night was very good, the moonlight was very bright, faint, and I could smell some flowers, Li Yu walked and walked, and unconsciously came to Qi Rou's bedroom.

Qi Rou's dormitory is beautiful, full of flowers he likes.

When she walked over, Qi Rou's bedroom was still lit, the door was open, Li Yu walked over directly, Qi Rou hadn't slept yet, she was sitting on the bed in a daze, and when she saw Li Yu, she suddenly stood up: "Holy ......"

"Concubine Qi hasn't rested yet?"

Qi Rou nodded, he couldn't sleep a little too.

Seeing things and thinking about people, looking at everything that is familiar, I can't help but think of the past.

She always wanted to convince herself to forget the past, but the more she tried to forget, the more she remembered it.

The two of them were sitting, Li Yu glanced at Concubine Qi, and then sighed: "The world is like chess." ”

No one knows what will happen next, Qi Rou nodded, and suddenly leaned on Li Yu's shoulder, in such a night, she felt endless loneliness, only when he snuggled in Li Yu's arms, he could feel a moment of fulfillment.

"Tonight, don't go, okay?"

--------------------

The next day, the morning dynasty.

Li Yu sat on the new dragon chair, looking at the new palace, and had a very special feeling in his heart.

He knew it was just a stranger.

The courtiers were also a little unaccustomed to it, but soon, they began to talk about the government as before.

In the past month along the way, there are still a lot of things happening in Tang Kingdom, so many things have to be solved one by one.

Therefore, this time the morning dynasty was opened until very late, and finally ended.

At the end, it was already past noon, and the ministers were preparing to leave one after another, but Li Yu stopped Fang Xuanling.

"Fang Aiqing, I ordered someone to prepare some food, you and I can eat it in the palace."

This is an honor for any courtier, and Fang Xuanling was also very surprised, but he hurriedly responded.

The two of them found a place to sit down in the palace, and the imperial chef brought them some food.

After eating like this for a while, Li Yu asked, "Fang Aiqing, how many people are there in Chang'an City now?" ”

"Saint, there are more than 400,000 people, and if you add the army, it is almost 600,000."

More than 400,000 people are a lot for any capital, and the original annexation of the state was only a little over 300,000.

And that, it was still at the time when the state was at its most prosperous.

Nowadays, the population of the capital of the entire Chinese countries exceeds 400,000, and I am afraid that I can count it on ten fingers.

However, although 400,000 is a lot, it is still very different from the million population required by the system, and of course, there is still a difference between the army.

"Fang Aiqing, there are people in Chang'an City, so that it can develop better, do you think that with the current situation in Chang'an City, how many people can it accommodate at most?"

Chang'an City was built by Fang Xuanling, which was not a difficult problem for him.

"Saintly, Chang'an City can accommodate up to 1.5 million people, and now, Chang'an City still has a lot of room for development." When expanding Chang'an City, Fang Xuanling considered this problem, after moving the capital to Chang'an in the future, the population will definitely increase, and with their strength, they can almost manage one million people, but although they can manage one million people, there is still some leeway, so the scale of his capital construction is one and a half million people.

If this number is exceeded, Chang'an City will have to be expanded again, but in his opinion, this number is already the limit and will never be exceeded.

Li Yu's side was relieved to hear that Chang'an City could accommodate 1.5 million people, if Chang'an City could not accommodate a million people, it would have to be expanded again, and in this way, it might be very troublesome.

Fortunately, Fang Xuanling was more thoughtful.

"Fang Aiqing, there is still a lot of room for development in Chang'an City, do you think that those methods can be used to attract more people to live in Chang'an City?" Fang Xuanling said: "Saint, if Chang'an City is prosperous enough, naturally some people will rush to come, so the most important thing is to encourage business, and if there are more people doing business, Chang'an City will be prosperous, and then there is to ensure the safety of Chang'an City, this security, including the safety of Chang'an City from being attacked by foreign enemies, and then there is the safety of the people living here, if the people do not have to worry about the safety of their lives and property here, they are naturally willing to come here." "What do you think of forcibly relocating?" In the face of the task of the system, Li Yu still wanted to complete it quickly, after all, according to what Fang Xuanling said, he was afraid that it would be difficult to complete it in a few years.
