The project of building a new Luoyang City was launched, and Yang Su signed a number of summons, the first batch of which was to recruit 600,000 people from Zhou County near Luoyang to come and build the Eastern Capital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

600,000 people, this number is extremely large, almost with Luoyang as the center, a radius of 300 miles, all of which are included, the labor force of the peasant family, only one person is left in the family to farm, and the rest of the men have to be recruited, which is one of the forms of conscription in the Great Sui.

According to the law of the emperor, the Sui Dynasty implemented the rent and Yong regulation, "rent" is the adult man to pay a certain amount of grain to the government every year, "tune" is to pay a certain amount of silk or cloth, within the period of servitude, those who do not go to serve can pay silk or cloth on behalf of the service called "Yong", but the age of the Sui Dynasty Yong has a limit, and only those who are over 50 years old can pay the goods on behalf of the servitude.

According to the law, at that time, the people of the Sui Dynasty set aside one month a year to serve in the prefecture and county to serve, the main content was to build embankments, open rivers, pave roads, dig mountains and quarry, cut wood, etc., if it was a military household, they could be exempted from conscription, but they had to go to military service.

After the official document of this government decree on the requisition of forced labor was issued, the governors and county orders of the nearby states were busy, and within the specified date, the number of people was unified to ensure that the requirements of the official document were met.

Because of the urgency and particularity of the task, it is necessary to work for two months longer than in previous years, and it can be returned to be exempt from taxation, or used for forced labor for the next year and the year after, which is the initial justice, and it has not yet reached the time of abusing forced labor.

The local people, with five families as the guarantee, set up the chief of the guarantee, protect the above for the inside, set up the inside; After the official document was issued, the party leaders, Li Zheng, and the security chiefs were all busy, and they selected people according to the household registration booklet and made up the numbers.

Half a month has passed, and the teams of the surrounding states and counties have rushed to the foot of the mountain one after another.

Yang Su ordered the construction of a camp to house these forced laborers, and then mobilized the army to garrison them to carry out security patrols to prevent disturbances and mutinies.

Luo Zhaoyun's task is precisely to lead troops to patrol, protect the safety of officials here, supervise labor, take care of supplies, and prevent horse thieves and bandits.

Yu Wenkai personally drew the map of Luoyang City, according to the mountain in the north, to the mouth of Yique in the south, and the Luoshui runs through it. The plan of Guocheng is close to a rectangle, with a circumference of about 30,000 meters. On the drawing, there are eight city gates, three in the east and three in the south, two in the north, and no gate in the west.

Miyagi is located in the northwest corner of Guocheng, the plane is approximately rectangular, the city wall is rammed, and the interior is covered with bricks. The East Palace is located in the east of Miyagi.

The imperial city was built on three sides around the east, west and south of the palace city; In the north of Miyagi, there are Yaoyi, two cities of Yuanbi. There is the East City in the east of the Imperial City, and there is the Jiacang City where grain is stored in the north of the East City.

Guocheng is divided into a number of square or rectangular lanes by the vertical crossing road, the main gate of the imperial city is passed in the north, named Dingdingmen Street, one hundred and twenty-one meters wide, it is the widest street in the whole city, and the rest of the streets connecting the city gate are designed to be forty or fifty meters wide.

Luoyang City continues to implement the Chang'an Li Fang system, there are fang walls in the Fang, there are doors on all sides, and there are cross streets inside, however, the drawings are only drawn, and the walls are built around the circle, and there are no buildings inside.

Yang Su, Yu Wenkai and others focused their efforts on building the imperial city and palace buildings, and at the same time built the gate and city wall of Guo outside Luoyang.

In the end, nearly two million people were working every month to catch up with the progress, because in the summer, there were often heavy rains, exposure to the sun, and the weather was changeable, and many laborers got wind and cold, and it was easy to die of fever. Almost every day, some laborers die suddenly or die of illness, and the corpses are constantly transported outside the city, handed over to the corpse transport teams in various counties and townships, and transported back to their hometowns for burial.

Some family members thought that the cost of transporting the corpse was too expensive, and some family members might not want the corpse, so they were dragged to the outskirts of the city and drowned on the spot. Others were brought together to work with relatives and friends to cremate their bodies, and then when they returned home, they brought back their ashes.

Luo Zhaoyun witnessed the hard work of this ancient labor and the fragility of life, and after half a year, he felt that he was almost numb.

Due to low productivity, the construction team does not have excavators, cranes, concrete machines, cutting machines, etc., and relies on manual labor, which is very hard, the labor intensity is too high, and death and injury are inevitable.

"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer!"

Luo Zhaoyun lamented that no matter whether the ancient dynasty rose or fell, the people had their suffering, but the degree and method of exploitation were different.

After arriving, Luo Zhaoyun no longer went to the scene to supervise the work, out of sight was clean, riding a horse to the mountains outside Luoyang to relax, hunting, and did not wear armor, just a samurai uniform, carrying a bow and arrows, with a saber, riding a horse, galloping away, and began to return the next day, but gradually got used to it, he had nothing to do, and Yang Su and others did not come to trouble him.

Therefore, Luo Zhaoyun sometimes walked farther and farther, and even came back only once in several days.

On this day, when he rode his horse to play in a forest, he found a man covered in blood, holding a sword in his fingers, fainting at the edge of the woods, as if he was fleeing, but he was unconscious.

Luo Zhaoyun doesn't know what kind of good guy or bad guy this is, it may be a Jiangyang thief, or it may be a ranger.

He saw that the other party was holding a sword, not a horizontal sword, guessing that he might be from the rivers and lakes, out of curiosity, Luo Zhaoyun jumped off the horse, walked over vigilantly, and pressed one hand on the handle of the knife at all times, if the other party was a villain, it was good to have a defense.

"This brother, are you injured?"

The unconscious man, when he heard someone speak, subconsciously woke up, but he was weak, looked up at Luo Zhaoyun, who was not an enemy, breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "I was chased and killed by a group of villains, and I am in danger at any time, if you don't want to wade into troubled waters, leave immediately, otherwise, when they see you, they will also kill you." ”

Luo Zhaoyun frowned, feeling that his words didn't seem fake, and asked, "Who is chasing you?" Green Forest Bandits? ”

"No, masters of the rivers and lakes, a group of people who don't follow the laws of the kings of the world, even if you have a noble status, you can't control it." The wounded man replied.

Luo Zhaoyun looked at him as less than forty years old, but his demeanor was different, and he should be a person beyond the level of chemical strength.

"I'll take you out of here first, and I'll give you a ride on horseback!" Luo Zhaoyun stepped forward to help him, but the man did not stop him, his expression was calm, and he did not refuse. (To be continued.) )
