The Second Five-Year Plan of the Church of Our Lady of the Han Dynasty ended in victory with the recovery of Jingzhou.

In these five years, Luan Yi successfully defeated Yuan Shao, captured the three states of Hebei, and captured Jingzhou. Subsequently, Zhao Yun led his troops into the Tiger Prison Pass and held the ownerless Sizhou in his hands.

In this way, Luan Yi occupied the eight major prefectures of Yan, Qing, Xu, Henan, Hebei, You, and Si, as well as Xiangyang, the richest county in the north of Jingzhou. For a while, the growth is the same.

In addition to the war, Luan Yi's ten-year siege of the Grand Canal also made a substantial breakthrough, realizing the full navigation from Yecheng in Jizhou in the north to Shouchun in the south. This canal, which is based on various water systems and supplemented by artificial penetration, is currently more than 2,000 miles long, which has consumed a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources and energy of Luan Yi.

However, the benefits of the canal are clear. It not only strengthened local transportation, facilitated the currency between the north and the south, greatly increased the income of merchants in various places, and enriched the daily life of the people, but also further strengthened the ability of the imperial court and the church to control the local areas -- the central army of the Jinan National Church could reach Shouchun, the southernmost part of the diocese, and Jizhou in the north in just half a month by virtue of the convenient river, and the way of transporting grain, grass, and baggage by boat was much faster and more timely than in the past.

In addition, with the help of the canal's four heads and eight major water systems, it provides convenience for local farming and animal husbandry irrigation. At the same time, rivers in various localities, especially the Yellow River, a large river, have been diverted, thus achieving a certain goal of discharging floods and fighting floods. Over the past five years, the damage caused by the first large-scale flood has been reduced.

All in all, the benefits of building the canal far outweigh the immediate expenditure. To this end, in the next five years, Luan Yi will continue to increase investment, widening the river while extending the canal to the north until the right Beiping. At that time, the canal reached the foot of the Great Wall, which could also have a great deterrent to the Saiwaihu people.

In addition to continuing to dig the canal, Luan Yi is also preparing to build a new capital city in the new five-year plan.

According to his vision, the area of the new capital city will far exceed that of any dynasty in the history of Chinese civilization, and become the largest and most gorgeous capital in the world so far, which can best show the Chinese civilization.

When it came to choosing a site for the royal capital, Jinan was quickly excluded. Although Luan Yi has been operating in Jinan for many years, and the counties of Jinan are full of flowers, the topography of Jinan surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the river greatly limits the development of the city. In addition, Jinan is located in the eastern central part of the Han Dynasty, and Luan Yi's future enemies, whether it is Ma Teng, Han Sui, or the Qiang people on the Hetao Plain, as well as the Saiwaihu people, Bai Wu, and Western civilization are all in the West. In order to facilitate the command of the war in the future, the new capital should be a little westerly.

So, Luan Yi moved his eyes to Luoyang, the former capital of the Han Dynasty.

This prosperous capital of the Han Dynasty was burned down by Dong Zhuo ten years ago, and now it is only a pile of ruins and broken walls, which can no longer be called a city.

It's just that for the construction of the city, Luoyang City, which has nothing, is more conducive to Luan Yi to play and build the scale he wants to see. The only problem is that it costs many times more to build a new Luoyang on the ground than to renovate the old city.

Many officials in the DPRK and China have questioned this. They all said that His Royal Highness King Qi's idea is indeed very good, and the current Han does need a decent capital. However, for more than ten years, the war has been endless, coupled with the widespread spread of the policy of encouraging childbirth, the imperial court has been unable to make ends meet. Jingzhou, which has built a rich foundation this year, has gained a lot of money in vain and replenished the lower treasury, but this money still needs to be moved to support the livelihood of the people in Hebei Youhe Erzhou, and there are basically not a few eldest sons left. If you don't have money, how can you build a new capital?

Wang Yun simply suggested that Licheng County should be re-planned, the scale of the urban area should be expanded, and Jinan should be directly designated as the national capital.

In this regard, Luan Yi categorically refused, saying that he had his own way to raise the resources needed to rebuild Luoyang, and he did not need to use the treasury.

As soon as he heard that he didn't need to use the finances and could get a magnificent national capital for nothing, the officials naturally gladly agreed.

So, four days later, a sand table more than three zhang long and three zhang wide was placed in the holy? The center of the front yard of the Nuwa Cathedral.

If you look closely, the sand table is densely covered with miniature pavilions carved from wood, and it is a city. In the city, in front of each area or key building, a wooden plaque is erected, which indicates the function and function of the building.

According to the sand table, the inner part of the city is divided into 12 areas, of which the eastern part of the core area is the imperial city. Located within the high walls of the imperial city, there are many treasure halls in the outer courtyard in front of you, and you can experience the strong sacred atmosphere contained in the treasure hall building without looking at the real thing. The official offices on both sides of the grand main hall are neatly arranged, and the distance between them and the main hall is set according to the administrative function and importance.

To the south of the outer courtyard, beyond the tall palace gate, is where the harem is located. In the palace, the pavilions and pavilions are designed by Luan Yi by drawing on the essence of garden art in later dynasties, and each building reflects the most beautiful side of Chinese national art. The carvings are beautiful, and the overall layout is magnificent and generous, which makes people fascinated.

To the west of the palace, across the wall is the Patriarch's Palace. The new patriarch's mansion is divided into three major areas, the front, middle and back, of which the first half is the church, which Luan Yi named Tianmen Palace. As a church in the core area of the capital of the Han Dynasty, Tianmen Palace is also the largest in the whole Han Dynasty. The chapel is three times larger than St. Nuwa's Cathedral, 450 steps long and 300 steps wide. Moreover, the chapel is divided into two floors, which can accommodate more than 600 people to worship at the same time, which is enough to make people breathtaking.

On both sides of the church, there are dining halls and libraries, according to Luan Yi's plan, the Tianmen Palace Library will include all the books that can be found in the Han area so far, including the movable type printed books printed by Luanjia Bookstore, as well as the book fragments and ancient books collected by Cai Yong and other famous people of the dynasty.

The central area of the Episcopal Palace is also the core of the administrative system of the Church of Our Lady. There are most of the important departments of the Holy Mother Sect here, such as Guo Jia's S.H.I.E.L.D., and Xu Shu's Punishment Bureau, as well as the office of Luan Yi, the leader of the Holy Mother Sect.

The northernmost part of the Master's Mansion is where Luan Yi and his family lived. It doesn't take a lot of land, but it's very warm from the decoration to the layout, and it's really a good place to live.

Beyond the walls of the Imperial Palace and the Patriarch's Mansion is the inner city of the new capital. Most of the inner city are the residences of dignitaries and high-ranking Religious officials, as well as some imperial offices, such as Honglu Temple and post stations and other functional departments that receive foreign envoys, and the yamen of the capital.

The inner city was surrounded by a tall wall to defend against enemy invasions, and there were nine gates outside the wall, which were guarded by the admiral of the nine gates. The nine gates face each of the nine districts of the outer city. Nine urban districts were established according to the topography, and among the four urban districts facing the river in the north, there was a huge market in the northwest of the urban area, which was the future Luoyang West Market, which mainly traded to the Hu people in the northwest. There is also a market in the northeast, bordering the river, where all kinds of goods from the hinterland of the Central Plains are sold.

Sandwiched between the east and west cities, there is also a vast space that is divided into two urban districts. The west-central direction of the two urban areas is the factory area, and Luan Yi has set aside a number of plots here so that the major chambers of commerce can set up factories here for production in the future.

The crops produced in the factory area include furniture, cloth, glass, jewelry, four treasures of the study, handicrafts and other industrial products.

The easterly oriented plot is the commercial port area. In this area of streets and alleys, most of the industries closely related to the service industry and the corresponding buildings are scattered. For example, inns, restaurants, medical officers, pawnshops, theaters, flower streets, willow lanes, etc., are places to have fun in the capital.

In addition to the factory area, the commercial port area, and the east and west cities, the southern central area of the capital is the college district in the city. In the future, Luan Yi will build several institutions of higher learning, such as the Imperial Academy of Arts, the Imperial Yanwu Hall, the Imperial Holy Cross Medical University, the Imperial Institute of Technology, and the Imperial Women's University, as well as dormitories for faculty and students, as well as corresponding ancillary facilities.

In addition to the five regions mentioned above, most of the other four areas on the outskirts of the new capital city are residential buildings, and there are also many shops and a few workshops mixed with the residential buildings. In the final analysis, whether it is a house or a shop, the architectural features are different, and there is absolutely no duplicate. Its aesthetics and order reflect the highest specifications of the current era.

In addition to basic building facilities, Luan Yi has also set up a church in each of the nine urban districts for residents to worship nearby. In addition to missionary functions, these churches also have the responsibility of basic education in their respective jurisdictions, and specialize in providing enlightenment education to school-age children in their jurisdictions such as literacy and arithmetic. In addition, there is also a medical hall in the church for believers in the area to seek medical advice and provide various conveniences for the local people.

……

As soon as the sand table model came out, it immediately attracted the attention of all Jinan people. After learning that the model in front of them was not a bonsai for people to watch, but a real and complete picture of the future capital of the Han Dynasty, the people of Jinan were boiling. When they heard that the new capital city covers an area of more than 12,000 acres, the people of Jinan were stunned again.

You must know that Licheng County covers an area of only more than 600 acres, and the new capital is equivalent to 20 times it. Boy, that's a big deal!

Shocked, some onlookers admired, "We are a great man, the Heavenly Empire, we have to do this, the capital is called a scene." ”

After speaking, a person next to him corrected: "Eh, what a big man! Now that we are the country of Qi, it should be said that Great Qi needs such an imperial capital. ”

The man knew that he had said the wrong thing, scratched his head and smiled, "Yes, yes." We're all together. Hey, you said that you can enjoy the blessings of all people, do you mean us? ”
