It has been six years since Luo Zhaoyun came to the Great Sui, and he has become a sixteen-year-old young man, burly, heroic, and very familiar with the language, customs, and writings of this era.

He felt that he had fully integrated into this ancient society and adapted to the identity of the Great Sui General.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty announced a new era name at the first court meeting of this year, that is, the Great Cause, and this year is the first year of the Great Cause.

The implication of the great cause is obvious, that is, Emperor Yang of Sui was ambitious, and he wanted to make a grand cause, so that he would go down in history and become a rare emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Just over half of the first month, after the Lantern Festival, Luo Zhaoyun, Yu Wenkai and others had already set off, escorting a large number of vehicles and loading a large number of materials from the capital to Luoyang.

Most of these materials were transferred from the treasury by the Ministry of Industry, money, silver, jewelry, cloth, etc., and some materials for building the city needed to be purchased.

Although it is said that the huge stones, trees, sand and other things needed are transported from all over the country free of charge, and the local finance is responsible for dispatching, many of the golden materials used in the construction of the palace need to be purchased from merchants and Hu merchants, which requires capital turnover.

Luo Zhaoyun's duty is to protect the materials, as well as the safety of the city construction site, the responsibility is not big, it is not small, after all, Luoyang is in the core of the Central Plains, there are many granaries around, soldiers, soldiers, etc., even if there are horse thieves, green forest bandits, thieves, etc., they dare not kill near Luoyang, and wait for themselves to fall into the net.

Therefore, there should be no danger in this mission, but it is an uncertain factor to prevent migrant workers from mutiny and riots.

The large team went out of Hangu Pass, the mighty and mighty, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and was not in a hurry, and it took a five-day trip to arrive at the plain at the foot of the mountain.

This Luoyang, the myths of the ancient emperor, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia Yu and so on, are mostly spread here. Zhou Gong assisted the government and moved Jiuding to Luoyi. King Ping moved eastward, Gaozu Duluo, Guangwu Zhongxing, Wei and Jin Xiangchan, Xiaowen reform, Sui and Tang dynasties, Later Liang Tang and Jin, a total of thirteen dynasties; Since ancient times, Luoyang has been considered by the Chinese ancestors to be "in the world".

"Emperor Cuihan's residence, Heluo Kingdom", Luoyang was once the political, economic and cultural center of China for a long period of time in history, and it was also a transportation hub with roads extending in all directions, and the Central Plains culture was the first to sprout and flourish here.

Yu Wenkai called Luo Zhaoyun and Yang Da, the three of them climbed the mountain, and then looked at the surrounding terrain, although Emperor Yang of Sui determined an axis to do the symmetrical line of the capital, but he didn't know how to build a city after all, Yu Wenkai is an expert in this regard.

There is a stream of water under the mountain, Luoshui meanders, the front of the east and west confrontation, two big mountains of lush greenery, the middle of the two mountains is like a natural portal, Yishui flows from south to north, the portal was called Yi Yan by the ancients, and later people called it Longmen.

The west of Longmen is Longmen Mountain, the east is Xiangshan, the world-famous Luoyang Longmen Grottoes are concentrated on this mountain, most of them were excavated in the Northern Wei Dynasty. And Xiangshan is not famous at this time, because its fame is because Wu Zetian dug the temple cave here, carved a lot of body enrichment of the flying relief, until the 21st century still preserved a lot, become a place of interest.

After reading it, Yu Wenkai and Yang Da exchanged opinions, and they coincided, they were both people who watched the terrain and understood it.

Luo Zhaoyun found at this time that Yang Da, who is usually restrained and easy-going, is actually very talented, but he has always been low-key and not domineering, and he is mostly the image of a good man in the court.

After Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, he transferred Yang Da to Menxia Province as the supreme governor Nayan, responsible for the review of imperial decrees, and was also one of the prime ministers.

Yang Dadao: "Your Majesty said that the scale of this Luoyang City is not as large as the standard of the new Chang'an City, and it can reach half." ”

Yu Wenkai sighed: "Yes, the new Chang'an City has been living for almost twenty years, and there are still many squares in ruin, this Luoyang City does not have to be magnificent, but it must be solemn and majestic enough to condense the essence." ”

Yang Da smiled and said: "Haha, the hero sees the same thing, and the old man also thinks the same way." ”

Yu Wenkai said again: "However, Your Majesty has explained that you should be as frugal as possible and not seek luxury, in that case, I am afraid it will be difficult to create any luxurious momentum." ”

Yang Da smiled on the surface, and said in his heart: That is His Majesty deliberately pasting gold and promoting himself as the image of a holy monarch, what is thrifty, what is not luxury, is that really the emperor's true thoughts?

"It's better to wait for the arrival of Yue Guogong, let him decide, we still plan the city map, measure the length of the city, draw the palace city, the imperial city, etc., the preliminary work is done, as soon as the Yue Guogong arrives, the city will be officially started!"

When Yu Wenkai heard this, he also felt that it made sense.

Next, according to Yu Wenkai's request, Luo Zhaoyun commanded thousands of guards of the Wuwei Mansion, began to paint lines on the ground with lime, and then chiseled down wooden stakes to locate them, and after several days, the length and width of the palace city, the imperial city, and the outer city of Luoyang City were marked.

Out of the first month, Yang Su arrived with a group of Gongcao and Sima in the prefecture, as well as some officials from the DPRK and China, to form a temporary organization for the construction of the capital, and to dispatch and carry out various construction tasks.

Yu Wenkai and Yang Da told him the idea of building Luoyang City, and he made the decision.

Yang Su smiled slightly, he knew Yang Jian, Yang Guang father and son very well, take Emperor Wen of Sui as an example, during his reign, he had always advocated frugality, but in the end of the construction of Renshou Palace, Yang Su was still based on luxury and splendor, and finally satisfied Emperor Wen of Sui and Queen Dugu.

As a courtier, you must know how to meet the needs of the emperor's heart, rather than just catering to the false remarks on his lips.

Yang Suyi said in words: "I am a great Sui, the country is rich and strong, the world is peaceful, the prosperous era is coming, the barbarians from all over the world come to congratulate, this eastern capital, the scale of construction, only half of Chang'an City, this is okay, but it must not be too simple, otherwise, how to make the envoys of Fanbang fear my Great Sui?" How to make the people of the world realize the transcendent power of the capital? Therefore, this Luoyang City must be luxurious and magnificent, and concentrate on the essence to win! ”

After Yu Wenkai and Yang Da heard it, they knew it and knew what to do. (To be continued.) )
