Chapter 221: The Scale of the New City (I)
The next day, just the second day after Lin Yuyan asked to take over the construction of the new Wancheng, he took Wen Xiangheng and Jing Yi and his party to the initial address of Wancheng, that is, more than 30 miles north of Wancheng, close to a place called [E].
"Your Highness, isn't this place a little too desolate!"
Jing Yi looked at the towering ancient trees and dense jungles around him, and said with a frown.
Even Wen Xiangheng on the side also looked at Lin Yuyan with the same doubts, this place is already more than ten miles away from the original Great Qin Prime Minister Han Kui's initial Edi, and within a radius of ten miles, it completely avoids the crowded places in Nanyang, surrounded by some dense jungles, if it weren't for the fact that it is winter now, Wen Xiangheng must have believed that a fierce beast will come out of this jungle anytime and anywhere!
This place is already the place where Lin Yuyan walked more than ten miles and stopped, and clearly informed Wen Xiangheng, Jing Yi and others that they intended to build this place into a new Wan City!
Therefore, after walking for a long time, looking at the image of the dragon and tiger clouds around him who really did not build the new capital of Great Qin, Wen Xiangheng finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and asked: "Your Highness, it is still flat and suitable for building a new capital!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan nodded and said, "Edi is indeed suitable for building a new capital!" ”
Hearing this, Wen Xiangheng was even more puzzled and asked, "In that case, why did His Highness still run so far and come here to determine the address of the new city?!" ”
Lin Yuyan finally confided his true meaning: "I mean that Edi can be used as Xinwan City, but here, it can't be put down!" ”
Hearing this, Wen Xiangheng was shocked, gasped, and asked, "Your Highness wants to build a ten-mile city?!" ”
"Isn't that possible?" Lin Yuyan asked rhetorically.
Seeing this, Jing Yi, Ji Wu, Chun Yuqi and other sect guards also looked at each other, and Ji Wu, who was still upright, said: "Your Highness, the city of ten miles, it seems that I can't build it without decades of effort!" ”
Wen Xiangheng also told the truth: "His Royal Highness promised that it would only take half a year for the king and Han Xiang to cast a new city, but ...... If His Highness intends to build a ten-mile city, I am afraid that within half a year's period, even the outer city walls will not be built! ”
Lin Yuyan glanced at Jing Yi and Chun Yuqi, and the two honest people looked at each other with this meaning, which made Lin Yuyan ask rhetorically: "Is it necessary to build a city wall in the new city?" ”
"How can a city be called a city if it does not build its walls? Your Highness, the function of the city wall is to prevent foreign enemies from attacking, if the enemy soldiers are under the city, there is no city wall, wouldn't it be broken by the enemy with one blow! "Jing Yi learned the art of war in the sect, so he has such an opinion.
Lin Yuyan glanced at the others, including Wen Xiangheng, although he didn't show it deliberately, but such a silent gesture already showed what he thought, and finally made Lin Yuyan spit out a sentence: "In the future, Daqin will be outside the country!" ”
……
"Defend yourself from the enemy!"
Listening to Lin Yuyan's almost absurd thoughts, several figures in the palace of King Qin looked at each other and remained silent, but the horror in their hearts could not be hidden.
In just one sentence, it stirs people's emotions, which shows its inflammatory nature!
In today's court meeting, Lin Yuyan, who inspected the new site of Wancheng from Hubei, also returned, officially took over the task of building the new capital of Daqin from Han Kui, and put forward his own idea.
The sand table, which was originally Lin Yuyan's plaything when he was not out of the Qin Palace, is now also placed in the main hall of the Qin Palace.
I saw Lin Yuyan standing next to the sand table and said to everyone: "The newly built Wancheng will be based on the Edi, and the current Wancheng, more than 30 miles apart, is suitable for building a new site, not to build a city wall, in addition to saving people's power, there is also the most important reason that Fang Caierchen said, Daqin should have the confidence to resist the enemy outside the country!" ”
Lin Yuyan's sonorous voice resounded above the main hall of King Qin's palace, instantly bringing the distracted Duke of Qin back to his senses.
Don't build walls!
Duke Qin didn't think about it, the reason why he wanted to build a new city was that Duke Qin felt that the current Wancheng was really a little too crowded and dilapidated, he used to be an earl, and he could bear it, but now Great Qin is rich in four counties, with a population of nearly two million people, and even was enshrined as a [duke] by Ji Zhou Tianzi, it is precisely because of this that Duke Qin will have the heart to build a new city.
As for what Lin Yuyan said about not building a city wall, to be honest, Duke Qin is also a little resistant, after all, the size and height of the city wall and other regulations can just show the status of a prince's lordship, if the city wall is not built, so that Qin Gong always feels a little regretful, but now according to the meaning of the sixth son, to build a city wall of ten miles is indeed too laborious and costly!
Taishi Xia timidly stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the city of ten miles is inevitably a little deviant!" ”
Taishi Xia was originally given the task of supervision and admonishment by Duke Qin, and it was precisely because of this that Duke Qin was not displeased, nor did he issue any opinions, he was silent, obviously planning to hand over the matter to Lin Yuyan, who was in charge of the matter, to answer.
Sure enough, Lin Yuyan, who learned that the monarch's father meant this, also stood up and said to Xia Wuti: "Now is the world of great controversy, but also the world of chaos, the rules of Xia Taishi are probably still the old rites of the Ji Zhou period, hundreds of years ago, Ji Zhou seized the fortune of Yin Shang and laid the foundation of Jiuding, and it is understandable to establish rules for the world, but now, the three Jin Dynasty coerced Ji Zhou Tianzi to canonize the matter, dare to ask Xia Taishi, what is the prestige and rules of Ji Zhou Tianzi!" ”
Hearing this, Xia Taishi was speechless, he didn't want to stand up and be a villain at this time, but his duty was to do so, so when Lin Yuyan's voice landed, Xia Wuyi also arched his hand and retreated into the distance, meaning not to argue with Lin Yuyan.
After a short silence, Minister Han Kui stood up and asked Lin Yuyan: "Dare to ask Your Highness, how many people are needed to build a ten-mile city in this half a year?" ”
"Naturally, the more the merrier!" Lin Yuyan said unceremoniously, but then added: "But now that Daqin is building a straight road, this matter is also the top priority, so I don't want more, 10,000 people can do." ”
"10,000 people ......" Han Kui told the truth, he was a little surprised by this number, I have to say that the two straight roads have already dragged the people of Daqin into it, as for the construction of the new city, Han Kui just proposed it, and planned to build it in a few years, but he didn't expect it to be started in advance by this Gongziyan.
It was in Han Kui's thinking that another inopportune abrupt voice sounded......
"More than 10,000 people built a ten-mile city in half a year in the winter, do they treat the casting of the new city as a paper paste to fool them!"
