Outside the room, Wu Ming stood like a javelin, and when he saw Liu Zhang pull the door out, he hurriedly bent down: "See the lord!" ”

Liu Zhang smiled at Wu Ming and said, "Get up!" Let's go, walk around town with me! ”

Wu Ming hurriedly stopped: "Lord, Chang'an is newly attached, the enemy stragglers have not been wiped out in time, and Chang'an has been ruled by Dong Zhuo for a long time, and there are many bellies in the center of the city, if they use the advantage of being familiar with the terrain of Chang'an to ambush the lord, the lord's situation will be very dangerous, the lord should not easily go out of the palace at this time, if the lord wants to go out to inspect, it is better to delay for a few days, and wait for the city to be more stable!" ”

Liu Zhang said: "It's okay, Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of troops can't hurt me at all, and now Dong Zhuo's army has been defeated and captured, and he is only scattered, can he still hurt me?" ”

"But ......"

"That's how it was decided......" Liu Zhang couldn't say.

"Yes!" Wu Ming had no choice but to respond, and then went to arrange going out.

Not long after, Liu Zhang, who had changed into a regular uniform, walked out of the former Prime Minister's Mansion under the strict protection of Wu Ming and dozens of tiger guards who also changed their regular clothes.

In that year, Liu Bang won the world, and when he chose Chang'an or Luoyang as the capital of the empire and hurt his gods, Lou Jingjin of Qi said, "Qindi is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the four are solid, and there is a hurry, and millions of people can stand up." Because of Qin, the land of wealth is very beautiful, and this so-called Tianfu is also. His Majesty entered the customs and the capital, although Shandong was chaotic, the hometown of Qin can be complete. The husband fights with others, does not strangle them, slap their backs, and fails to win all of them; Now His Majesty's case is the birthplace of Qin, which is also the world's cry and its back", Zhang Liang, who won Liu Bang's trust, greatly agreed with Lou Jing's intentions, so he persuaded Liu Bang that "Luoyang is only hundreds of miles small, the fields are thin, and the enemy is on all sides, and this is not a country that uses force." Guanzhong left cuisine, Han, right Long, Shu, fertile thousands of miles, south of Ba, Shu of Rao, north of Hu Yuan's benefit, blocking three sides and guarding, only one side of the east system of the princes, the princes are stable, the river, Wei Cao to save the world, the west to the Beijing division, the princes have changed, down the river, enough to lose, this so-called Jincheng Qianli...... "Liu Bang listened to the words of the two, then decided to Chang'an, and let the prime minister Xiao He be responsible for the construction of Changle, Weiyang two palaces. After the large-scale expansion of Emperor Wu, Chang'an began to have today's scale. However, after two hundred years of glory, Chang'an was destroyed in the war in Wang Mang's rebellion, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiushi moved the capital to Luoyang, still set Chang'an as Xijing, and slowly began to repair, to the time of Emperor Ling, there was a generation of imperial capital. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an after the perverse behavior in the ruling area, the people of Chang'an died countless in vain, many people could not bear Dong Zhuo's tyranny and secretly moved away from Chang'an, at this time the people in Chang'an City did not exist one, the people's livelihood withered, Liu Zhang took over a Chang'an City that can be described as a hundred ruins to be rebuilt, perhaps, Chang'an City is destined to be restored to its former glory in his hands!

However, Chang'an as the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, the scale is very huge, just a number can explain the scale of Chang'an City, according to the measurement, the total length of the four walls of Chang'an City, west, south and north reaches more than 50 miles, which shows the large area in the city. As the capital, Chang'an City has 12 gates and 36 doorways. The streets in the city are all vertically and horizontally distributed in strict accordance with a central axis, which means that as long as your eyes are good enough, even if it is more than ten miles long Anmen Street, you can stand on the street and clearly see the situation at the end of the street more than ten miles away...... These are Liu Zhang's previous reading in some books or Du Niang, when he walked on the streets of Chang'an, only to find that all the annotations in the later generations of historians are so pale, if you want to feel a real Chang'an, a carrying the style of the imperial capital of the Western Han Dynasty for two hundred years, you can only really understand if you are as immersive as Liu Zhang, and even the most wonderful, the most real, or the most exaggerated text annotations can not express one-tenth of a real Chang'an! And what Liu Zhang saw was a Chang'an that had gone through war, had been compensated for turmoil, and had been precipitated for nearly two hundred years.

Liu Zhang went out from the Dong Mansion, next to the rebuilt Weiyang Palace on the site of the original Weiyang Palace, Liu Zhang stopped outside the palace gate for a moment and then turned to leave, all the way to check the Wufu (it is in ruins, there are many people who have lost their homes in the ruins to build temporary residences in it), Changle Palace, Mingguang Palace, etc., and came to the East City.

Chang'an City as the former imperial capital, the city of palaces, government offices, government storage accounted for two-thirds of the area, markets, workshops, residential areas and so on accounted for only one-third, this third of the called "Luli" is mostly located in the north of the capital, that is, the so-called East City, West City area.

Since Chang'an was captured by Guan Yu, under the guidance of all kinds of benevolent government, Chang'an is gradually recovering, but this is a long process, the so-called freezing three feet, not a day's cold. At present, most of the people in the city still have doubts about Liu Zhang, and still have a wait-and-see mentality, so few people walk around the streets and markets, and even if the people who are forced to go out for various reasons, they are buried in their heads and do not go through.

Liu Zhang, who was slowly moving forward, was sad for Chang'an's coldness and dilapidation, and on the other hand, he was also secretly excited that Chang'an and even the Han Dynasty would be carried forward again in his own hands.

This journey is no less than ten miles, so that Liu Zhang, who is accustomed to horses and cars, feels a little tired, Liu Zhang instructed Wu Ming to send someone to invite Man Chong, Xun You and others to return to the room after the discussion, and the coincidental Su Fei and Shihan sisters hurriedly helped him sit down, one brought hot water, and the other gently pinched Liu Zhang's sore legs.

After scrubbing the warm towel, Liu Zhang swept away his tiredness, took the hands of the two sisters and talked for a while, until Wu Ming got up and went to the lobby of the meeting after being ordered to come by waiting for the full favor.

Man Chong, Xun You, and others who were kneeling in front of the desk saw Liu Zhang walking into the lobby and hurriedly got up to greet him.

Liu Zhang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be exempted, then sat in the center, and everyone returned to their seats.

Liu Zhang said loudly: "Everyone, now that most of Guanzhong has been recovered, although Duan Xuan and others still have troops outside, but it is difficult to become a marquis, Dong Zhuo's letter to persuade him to surrender has been sent to the hands of the Xiliang rebels everywhere, if they are interested, otherwise, there will be no woman's kindness, and all the enemy troops will be annihilated in one fell swoop with the power of thunder." In the next step, the focus will shift from the crusade of the army to production and construction, and we have summoned everyone here today in the hope that everyone will work together to do something for the people of Guanzhong, so that the people of Guanzhong can return to the days of living and working in peace and contentment as soon as possible. Now, people can speak their minds......"

When he was young, he looked at everyone, saluted Liu Zhang, and said: "My lord, Guanzhong is deeply affected by Dong Zhuo's tyranny, and most of the people are in a situation where they have no food, no clothes, no cure, and even death. The subordinates think that there are priorities, and the most important thing at present is to let the people have something to eat, warm clothing, as long as they survive this winter, wait until the spring is warm, but they can start spring ploughing, and after the autumn harvest of the next year, the people can slowly achieve self-sufficiency. ”

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "In Boning's opinion, how should we solve the matter of food and accommodation?" ”

Full of favor said: "Back to the lord, although the people in Guanzhong are poor, but the officials at all levels of the Xiliang Group are full of brains, and the treasury is even more overflowing, our army has won a complete victory in the Northern Expedition, and has captured a lot, among which the captured grain relief Guanzhong people through this midwinter is not a problem, and the whole winter can be transported by Hanzhong to transport grain and materials into Guanzhong for the next year, so there should be no problem in insisting on the autumn harvest next year." However, the subordinates thought that we could not unconditionally help the people, as the saying goes, 'Raise Mien, fight Mi Qiu', if the people develop inertia and hope to always accept our army's relief, one day our army will be powerless. At present, the military attack is nearing the end, and a large number of troops can be freed up to engage in construction, so that the army and the captured Xiliang soldiers can cooperate with the people to rebuild their homes, build roads, build cities, and reclaim farmland for the next year, etc., so that all the people must do what they can to receive relief food, of course, those who are really unable to work because of age or physical reasons can also receive a relief food. ”

Feng Ji said: "Boning's words are reasonable, and his subordinates think that with work for relief, this first worker can choose to repair houses for the people to withstand the severe cold, otherwise the cold winter in the northwest will definitely take the lives of many people." What's more, even if our army does not provide relief, the people will look for shelter, and at this moment, the people are building homes for themselves, and they have relief food to receive, so they will gladly invest in it. Only in avoiding the hunger and cold in winter, Guanzhong will slowly recover in the coming year, and after two or three years of precipitation, Guanzhong will be fertile for thousands of miles, becoming another big granary for the lord. ”

Guo Jiadao: "Most of the people in Guanzhong have left their hometowns, the farmland is deserted, and commerce is sluggish, so we must carry out propaganda as soon as possible, promote our army's new policy to the entire Guanzhong, and call on the people to return to their hometowns. ”

Xun You followed: "Although the war is about to subside, but our army can not put swords and guns into the warehouse, horses and horses in Nanshan, on the one hand, we must prevent the resurgence of the dust of the remnants of the Xiliang in Guanzhong, on the other hand, the grassland is about to snow, the situation of the Huns will become very difficult, we must strengthen the northern vigilance, in case the Huns suddenly rush into the Guanzhong to cause trouble to the people!" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "The north really can't be negligent, in previous years, the Xiongnu often went deep into the northern states to loot in the winter when grazing could not be grazing, and the past did not forget the division of later generations, and Zuo Fengyi's troops must be strengthened to always guard against and counterattack the invasion of the Huns!" ”

Xun You said: "The counties and towns in Guanzhong have been in disrepair for a long time, can we send elite soldiers to garrison Zuo Fuyi and Beidi counties, and at the same time mobilize the people of each county to assist the soldiers in repairing the city defenses." Those Xiliang captives are much stronger than ordinary people, and they are good laborers, can they be distributed to the counties, participate in the repair of the city defenses, and let them use their hands to atone for their previous sins. ”

Guo Jia followed and said: "The Hun cavalry moves quickly, if there is no strong cavalry, it is difficult to effectively deal with its invasion, and now there is no big battle in Guanzhong, can you send a group of elite infantry to Tongguan, and order the main cavalry force that has just rushed to the front line of Tongguan to withdraw to Chang'an, in order to resist the Huns and protect the safety of Chang'an?" ”

Everyone said that most of the people in the Yizhou army at this time had regarded Liu Zhang as the son of the Han Dynasty, and his safety was of paramount importance, and there must be no delay, and Liu Zhang could not leave Chang'an in the short term, so he must ensure the safety of Chang'an.

……

Everyone expressed their opinions, and after a short time, a series of methods were discussed.

Liu Zhang then ordered that the list of work-for-relief will be sent down, and at the same time sent many propaganda teams to go deep into various places to publicize the policy and call on the people to return to their hometowns, and ordered people to transfer grain and grass from Hanzhong for the next year, and then transferred Guan Yu, who had an increasingly calm personality, to Tongguan, with full responsibility for all matters on the front line of Tongguan, and transferred Beigong Yan to Zuo Fuyi, Li Dian to Beidi County to guard against the Xiongnu, and transferred Huaxiong to garrison Chang'an.

The people no longer have to go hungry, no longer worry about being robbed of the last grain by the Xiliang army who suddenly crashed into their homes, they will not watch their wives and daughters and mothers be insulted, and they don't have to worry about being innocently killed at any time, and the social order slowly begins to settle down.
