In mid-May, the emperor crossed the Tong Pass.

The emperor rode a horse to stand on the Tong Pass and looked at the waves and flowing waters of the Yellow River not far away, and was very emotional. Here to control the three places of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, the situation is dangerous, there are Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north.

Wei and Luo two rivers will be the Yellow River hugging down the pass, west near Huayue, the surrounding mountains are even mountains, peaks and peaks.

"Your Majesty, the new pass under the hill is being built, and when the new pass is repaired, the defense of Tongguan will be more solid, and it will not be opened if you are a man."

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao set up Tongguan in the first year of Jian'an (196) in order to prevent the rebellion in Guanxi, and abandoned Hangu Pass at the same time.

The Tongguan City of the Han Dynasty was built on the plateau south of the Yellow River, which is a unique topography of the loess belt, with high protrusions and ravines around it, making the plateau like a platform.

Hantong Pass was built on the plateau, because the road to Guanzhong at that time must pass through the plateau.

However, there is a forbidden valley trail in the southeast of the plateau, although the road is small and dangerous, but it can also pass through the customs, so later the imperial court will set up this valley as a forbidden valley, not passable, for defense, and build twelve cities in the valley.

However, the Yellow River is characterized by its fickleness and carrying a large amount of sediment.

In the Han Dynasty, the south bank of the Yellow River in the north of Tongguan was a steep cliff, but in the Sui Dynasty, a large area of river beach had been alluvial on the south bank, so there was a new road to enter Guanzhong, and there was no need to climb over the plateau.

Therefore, in the Sui Dynasty, on the edge of the hill near the river bank, another Xintong Pass City was built.

But after all, this gate is still built on the plateau, although it has a condescending trend, but it has not been able to directly block the road on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Therefore, now the imperial court decided to build a pass in the north of the Sui Tong Pass, directly on the south bank of the Yellow River under the plateau, connecting the Yellow River to the water in the north and the plateau in the south, and directly blocking the road.

Although this is not the time for chaos and war, after the construction of Xintong Pass, it can also play a role in cracking down on smuggling, imposing customs duties, and collecting fugitives and slaves.

"At the mouth of the forbidden valley ditch, we also added a military fort to guard it, and the Hantong Pass was retained on the hill and changed to a garrison camp fort."

Luo Cheng nodded, Tongguan, which was once known as the first dangerous pass, has greatly reduced its role in the unification of the north now, but it will still be the three traffic arteries of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, and it is still very necessary to strengthen control.

After passing the Tong Pass, enter the Guanzhong.

The car arrived in Chang'an City, and countless soldiers and civilians came to greet it.

The prime ministers of the political hall arrived in Chang'an in advance, and they prepared a relatively grand ceremony to enter the city. Luo Cheng also cooperated, this was his first time in the customs, and it was necessary to show the prestige of the court and the authority of the emperor.

The forbidden army and the inner army who accompanied the car rested outside the city for three days, changed into brand new military robes, polished weapons, and even painted their horses.

On the day of entering the city, the army was neat and the flags were fluttering.

The emperor rode on a golden chariot drawn by twelve horses, and was driven by Pei Xingyan and two 10,000 enemies.

Luo Cheng was dressed in golden helmets and golden armor, like a god, as soon as he appeared, countless Chang'an soldiers and civilians cheered in unison, cheering together to celebrate the arrival of the god of war.

Suzaku Street is very wide, 50 zhang wide.

A group of elite soldiers and horses of the forbidden army drove through the street, and the two sides of the street were surrounded by soldiers and civilians.

All the way into the Tai Chi Palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, Luo Cheng issued an edict that the palace maids in Chang'an Taiji Palace and Guanzhong Zhuxing Palace, all those who had reached the age of twenty-five were returned. The palace people who have reached the age of 50 are also released from the palace and a nursing home is built outside the palace to support these elderly palace people.

As soon as this decree was made, countless palace people in the palace were stunned.

Although the Sui Dynasty moved from Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty to this new Daxing City, and then changed its name to Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, these people have been in the palace for a lifetime, from young girls to white-haired goosebumps.

Now, the emperor actually wants to let them out of the palace and provide for them, I can't believe it.

The second thing the emperor did when he entered Chang'an was to issue an order to sell all the confiscated mansions of the rebellious parties that had participated in the rebellion.

The third thing is that the emperor dismissed the previous imperial history about the recent chaotic management of Chang'an City, and many officials and citizens opened windows and doors on the street, which was not in line with the system, and even some traders sold along the street and other illegal behaviors. The emperor instructed that while retaining the Li Fang system, the officials and people facing the street were allowed to open doors and windows to the street, and the houses facing the street were allowed to be converted into shops for rent and sale, merchants were allowed to open shops along the street, and merchants were also allowed to set up stalls to sell goods in designated blocks.

As long as it is not a road occupation operation, it is not an unlicensed operation, and it does not deface the street, etc., it is allowed.

This decree caused the Manchu officials to exclaim in surprise, and the people of the whole city cheered.

You know, before that, there was a market in the city, and all the shops were concentrated in the special market, such as Chang'an has two major markets, the East City and the West Market, and Luoyang has the three major markets of the South City, the West City and the North City.

Merchants had to concentrate on the market to do business, and even the market was divided into special sections, and all the banks were operated together.

And the people are actually in a square area, this square area is like the community of later generations, it is closed and isolated, there is a square door and a square wall, even if it is next to the street of the residents in the square, they are not allowed to open doors and windows on the square wall, only officials and nobles who have reached a very high level, they have the privilege to open doors and windows on the square wall.

It is not even allowed to sell these stalls along the street.

The street is the road, the market is the place where business is bought and sold, and the fang area is only for people.

Such a design is easy to manage and good for defense, but it is not very convenient.

For example, the residents of Chang'an City can only go to the East and West Cities to buy vegetables, and the people living in Nancheng have to walk several miles to buy vegetables in the morning.

And before dawn, the city gate is not open, and when it gets dark, you are not allowed to go out of the gate and go to the street.

All kinds of regulations make life extremely inconvenient for people living in a huge city like Chang'an.

And now, after seeing that Chang'an City was very depressed, the emperor made this will.

Allowing people to break the restrictions of the square area, they can open doors and windows on the square wall, allow shops to be set up along the street, and even allow street vendors to set up stalls to sell in designated blocks.

All of this is extremely inconsistent with the design concept of Chang'an City, completely disrupting the city's defense function and management function, but the emperor insisted on seeing it.

In the past, the concept of the city was still too restrictive, and he preferred the market culture of Song and Ming.

At the same time, the emperor ordered that hundreds of large and small Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Chang'an City should be moved out, and the original Buddhist temples and Taoist temples were converted into academies, orphanages, nursing homes, hospitals, etc.

One hundred and eight squares in Chang'an, a big Xingshan Temple occupies a square of land, which is too much.
