Chapter 343: Reconstruction
Luoyang has the reputation of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and many feudal dynasties in Chinese history have set their capitals here. Now Cao Xing is also stepping into this metropolis.
This time, it wasn't just him Cao Xuan who came, Cao Xuan even brought Chen Hu, Fengyun Fazheng, Jia Xu and others, except for Wei Yan and others, who were necessary for defense, and all the rest of them came over.
Originally, visiting the first capital city in the world should have been an exciting moment, but when everyone saw this city, no one made any excited remarks, nor did they have any excited atmosphere, for no other reason, this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties was almost like a ruin at this moment.
Dong Zhuo set fire to Luoyang, a fire burned most of Luoyang's face, although Cao Xing came to extinguish the fire in time at that time, but still damaged most of the cultural relics, the house was destroyed, and there was no decent marker, as for the palace, it was also broken and tattered.
Although Dong Zhuo died soon after, Li Wei and Guo Yan took over the Si Li generation, but these two people did not understand politics at all, and only knew that they were more unscrupulous in looting people's fat and people's ointment.
Don't say that it is Luoyang, Chang'an has been made into a miasma by them, and the people of Luoyang are hungry, so they can only leave their hometown and leave this historic capital. Therefore, Luoyang is now full of barren grass, and it is difficult to see a single person within a radius of ten miles.
Fa Zheng and the others sighed in their hearts, they didn't expect that the once glorious capital city would be reduced to such a state today, which is really embarrassing.
Cao Xing also sighed there, but unlike everyone, he only sighed a little, his expression became optimistic, and he said to everyone.
Although the fire extinguished all the hopes of Luoyang, but everything has two sides, the fire brought destruction to Luoyang, but also brought new life to Luoyang, and the purpose of his Cao Xing to bring everyone here is to rebuild Luoyang.
When they heard the news, Fa Zheng and the others were shocked at first, and then some people immediately applauded and applauded, rebuilding Luoyang, which is a great thing. Even people with high political consciousness such as Fa Zheng Fengyun instantly guessed Cao Xing's intentions.
Sili is a good place, there is Luoyang and Chang'an, both of which are metropolises that can accommodate a million people, although Chang'an still has Li Li according to it, but it is not to be feared.
Li Dao's subordinates are all **, and they don't have any combat effectiveness when they really fight, at most they just bully and bully the common people in peacetime.
Cao Xing could have taken this opportunity to enter Chang'an, which is also a capital city with a long history, but Cao Xing really didn't do it.
As Cao Xuan said, although Luoyang is destroyed, it also means that he can be reborn, but Chang'an is different, Chang'an is still in a very decaying situation, not only is it rotten under the destruction of the two of you, but more importantly, there are some people who have always stayed in that place, which makes Cao Xuan feel very unpleasant. This is the main reason, but Luoyang is different, the nobles of the family have left, so here, Cao Xing can do whatever he wants. Moreover, Luoyang is accessible in all directions, which is convenient for controlling the world, which is also the advantage of Luoyang over Chang'an.
Cao Xing immediately recruited his skilled craftsman Ma Jun and asked him to rebuild the metropolis, Ma Jun seemed to be very excited, for a craftsman, if he could rebuild a splendid metropolis, this is indeed an exciting thing.
However, Cao Xing's name is Ma Jun, don't be happy so early, he Cao Xing does want to rebuild Luoyang, but this time rebuilding Luoyang is not just a simple matter of repairing the city wall and building a house, he Cao Xing, wants to build a super brilliant metropolis, at least with the previous city, which will be completely in stark contrast.
Of course, Cao Xing also wants to build a modern city, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is not possible, this era is too far from modernization, and modern things can not be achieved overnight, even if people like Ma Jun are allowed to study every day, it is estimated that it will take hundreds of years to study.
But even if he can't build a modern metropolis, Cao Xing still wants to build a semi-modern metropolis, he wants to make Luoyang stand on the land of China and civilization on top of the world, this is Cao Xing's real idea.
Cao Xing asked the others to go back to their respective duties now, what to do, while he and Ma Jun visited Luoyang everywhere, and it took about half a month for the two to finally draw a map of Luoyang.
Ma Junben was still thinking hard about how to build it to make Luoyang reasonable, but Cao Xing directly told him with a stroke of his pen that except for the city walls on all sides, all the rest of the places were torn down.
When he heard this, Ma Jun thought that he had heard it wrong, and it wasn't until Cao Xing repeated it again that he was sure that his ears had heard it correctly, Cao Xing's meaning was very simple, that is, to demolish all the old houses in Luoyang, even those that were not burned by fire.
Ma Jun asked a little puzzled, if it was all demolished, what should the people in those houses do, Cao Xuan replied directly.
First give these people enough settling-in money, let them take refuge in other places, find a place to live temporarily, and register all their names on the record, and promise them that after Luoyang is built, they will definitely return a brand new house in the original place.
If the kind of people who don't want to go back to Luoyang are not reluctant, give them more adequate settling-in expenses, at least let them buy family businesses in other places.
Cao Xing's method is quite reasonable, there is no problem, as long as there is sufficient money, I believe everyone will not be disgusted.
Then Fa Zheng asked Cao Xing why he wanted to demolish all those old houses, Cao Xuan said, in order to make Luoyang better built, if Luoyang is seen from above, it is still a rectangle in general, since it is a rectangle, then everything is much easier to build.
The first is to pave the road and connect several city gates in Luoyang. But Cao Xing's request this time is not only to pave the road with simple stones, this time it must be to pave the cement road, he gave Ma Jun a very strict requirement, that is, the progress of the project can be slowed down, but the paved road must be smooth, and the carriage and horses driving on it are like a flat river.
The second is to build a house, building a house This kind of thing Cao Xing has tested for Ma Jun and others when he was in Shangtang, and Ma Jun and others are also eye-opening, and Ma Jun, who is familiar with manufacturing, has mastered the process of laying the foundation and building a house with cement and bricks.
So for Luoyang. Cao Xing's requirements were stricter, and he built a house entirely with cement, and finally Cao Xing also planned a secret passage in the ground of Luoyang, which was used as an escape for the time being. Ma Jun wrote down what Cao Xuan said, and after finishing the matter, Ma Jun looked at what Cao Xuan said and couldn't help but take a deep breath Cao Xing, this is indeed going to be a change, a major change.
Cao Xing's side is in full swing of reconstruction, as for the princes of other roads. None of them were idle.
The first is the quarrel between Cao Cao and the two Yuan brothers, and the three of them are there to accuse each other anyway. Even Yuan Shu's guy is even worse, he said that the person who has been in contact with Emperor Han Xian for the longest time should be Sun Jian, the more unlikely the person, but the most likely person, so Emperor Han Xian was killed by Sun Jian, it is said that when Sun Jian heard the news, he was directly angry like thunder, thinking that he was dedicated to Han, how could he do that kind of murder.
Of course, the reason why Yuan Shao did this was also selfish, Sun Jian was so faceless last time, so he naturally wanted to frame Sun Jian, but he only thought of the refreshment when he framed Sun Jian, and he didn't think of the pain when Sun Jian fought back.
Sun Jian is naturally not an ornament, he directly announced to the world, saying that when he went to rescue Emperor Han Xian again, there was a wave of people who plotted against Emperor Han Xian, and he directly said by name that the person who plotted against Emperor Han Xian was none other than Yuan Shu, and this time the world set off an uproar, but Yuan Shu also immediately stood up and said, he is the fourth and third dukes, how could he do such an unreasonable thing, this Sun Jian is definitely bloody.
These two people made such a fuss, which made the already some chaotic things even more confusing, anyway, people in the world don't know, who should be trusted and who not to believe.
Of course, during this period, it was not that no one did not suspect Cao Xing, after all, Cao Xuan also participated in the rescue of Emperor Han Xian.
But in the face of these rumors, in the face of these questions, Cao Xing simply ignored it, he had put all his energy and mind into the reconstruction of Luoyang, as for what these people said, Cao Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.
In this way, Cao Xing studied with Ma Jun in Luoyang, discussed together, lasted more than two months, Cao Xing finally got the answer he wanted, and even during this time, he continued to learn from others Ma Jun and asked for advice, and now Cao Xing feels that he has entered the industry in the craftsman.
However, two months later, a major event happened that made Cao Xuan have to stop what he was doing to deal with it, because this incident can be said to be a sensation in the world.
In fact, the root cause of this matter must be traced back to the death of Emperor Han Xian.
Cao Xing smiled at the death of Emperor Han Xian, he was not a person who belonged to this world, and he couldn't talk about how loyal he was to the Han Dynasty he hoped for.
In addition, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was a small ghost, actually wanted to seize his annexed state, so he would no longer be loyal to the Han family. Therefore, Emperor Han Xian is not dead, and he does not have much to do with others Cao Xing, plus there are indeed some unknown secrets hidden in it, the fewer people who know this secret, the better, Cao Xuan does not want to mention it. Therefore, as soon as Cao Xian came back, he put on an attitude that he had nothing to do with himself, as if the death or immortality of Emperor Han Xian had nothing to do with him Cao Xing, and now that Emperor Han Xian is dead, the biggest vested interest is not him Cao Xing, so it is understandable for Cao Xing to show this attitude, those people scolded and scolded Cao Xing and saw that Cao Xing did not react, and they also felt that maybe it was really not Cao Xing's doing, so Cao Xing didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he also gave up the investigation of Cao Xing.
However, as soon as Emperor Han Xian died, some people began to be unable to sit still.
First of all, it is Yuan Shao, this guy, everyone has been talking for more than two months, and their mouths are numb, and it makes no sense to tear it down now, so everyone is ready to stop fighting, but at this time, Yuan Shu wore a python robe and held a jade seal in a certain sacrifice ceremony, walked up to the high platform step by step, and said a word loudly to his courtiers.
Heaven shall not be without a kingdom for a day, nor shall there be a king for a day. Today, I, Yuan Shao, with the reputation of the fourth and third dukes, conform to the will of heaven, and should inherit this position. The heirloom jade seal in my hand is the highest symbol of imperial power, and from now on I will be the emperor of the world.
When the news came out, it was shocking to the world. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was indeed dead, and in the past two months, although everyone was arguing there, they were arguing back and forth, and after all, no one stood up to elect a new emperor.
For two whole months, there was no emperor in the feudal society, which seems to be a bit unusual, but in fact, there was not much turmoil in the world, because the world is now under the control of various princes.
As long as the major princes do their own things and manage their subjects well, then there will be no problems, but I didn't expect that at this time, Yuan Shu actually ran out and said that he was the Son of Heaven, as for the basis, that is, the jade seal in Yuan Shao's hand.
The heirloom jade seal was brought out by Cao Xuan from Luoyang, and gave this heirloom jade seal to Yuan Shu, of course, it was sold at a high price, and the restraint has always regarded it as a treasure, and even before that, he often held this jade seal and dangled in front of his subordinates, saying that the jade seal is in the hand of the world.
But in any case, Yuan Shao finally took this step today, and rebuilt the country name as a success, when the news of Yuan Shu's title of emperor spread all over the world, the world was in turmoil, first of all, the celebrities of Jizhou, Chen Lin and Cui Yan brothers, directly published articles and scolded. Yuan Shu Huangkou child, how can he be said to be an emperor?
It means that he Yuan Shao has the qualifications to be the emperor, is it just a small jade seal, doesn't that mean that as long as an ordinary person gets the jade seal, he can directly board the plane and become the emperor, so Yuan Shu is nonsense.
With these people taking the lead, people of insight in the world have launched attacks on Yuan Shu and denounced Yuan Shu, which is really despicable.
However, Yuan Shao not only did not feel the slightest fear of these people's words, but was still a little angry in his heart, in his opinion, the prestige of his Yuan family was already high enough, plus the jade seal of the country, was he Yuan Shu not qualified to be the emperor enough? Yuan Shu seemed to be clearly blind to him by these people, so not only did he not change, but he still went his own way, so that everyone in the world respected him as Your Majesty.
