I thought that as the capital of the Han Empire with a population of nearly 60 million, Chang'an City was not as good as the capital of later generations, at least the streets were crowded with pedestrians and were very lively. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Especially when you can see the towering Jianzhang Palace and Weiyang Palace complexes before you have crossed Weishui, no matter who takes it for granted that Chang'an is an ancient international metropolis with unparalleled magnificence in the world.

However, Wang Yu and his entourage, who had been walking for nearly half a month in the road, were dumbfounded as soon as they entered the Luocheng Gate, not to mention that there were not as many people in the city as there were people in Wancheng, and what surprised them even more was that the Lifang area where the people lived was still small and pitiful.

I still asked Liao Wenfei to know that the scale of Chang'an City is very large, but it occupies the vast majority, coupled with the unique Lingyi system of the Han Dynasty, the rich families who moved in from all over the country lived near the mausoleum, so the number of people living in Chang'an City was not even as large as that of Maolingyi.

It wasn't until later that Wang Shu learned that the inner city of Chang'an was actually the residence of the central government organs and important ministers of the imperial court, and there was also the common people's residence that provided logistics services for the royal family and the government.

Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, the capital not only did not suffer from urban diseases such as population expansion, traffic congestion, housing shortage, public health deterioration, and environmental pollution, but even employment difficulties rarely appeared.

To say that in Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, as long as you are not like the children of the Eight Banners in later generations, it is actually very easy to support yourself

For example, Liu Xiu just relied on buying a little donkey to hire people to run and rent and sell strong pills, and he was able to mix well among the rich second-generation classmates in Taixue, even if he mixed in the gambling house, he didn't lose his underwear.

Of course, even if there are a large number of situations where Jingpiao can't find a job, it can't be said that Wang Shu, who is not yet an official and a half-job, will come to worry about it.

Besides, Chang'an is not the capital of later generations, and it is impossible for anyone to sing that Beijing welcomes you, and it is impossible for a low level of education to drift in Chang'an.

Although Wang Shu did not tell him in advance when he would arrive in Beijing, as soon as the group passed the Luocheng Gate, they saw the third brother Wang An and the fourth brother Wang Lin guarding the roadside.

After asking, I found out that the little brothers had been guarding the city gate every morning since five days ago to greet Wang Shu.

In just over half a year, Wang An has not changed, but Wang Lin has grown a lot taller, and the brothers naturally have endless words to say when they meet.

Wang Xing saw that Wang had arrived in Chang'an, and hurriedly sent someone home to tell him in advance.

Along Zhangtai Street all the way south is Shangguanli, located between Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace, where Wang Mang's new home was located after he came to Chang'an from Xindu.

When he arrived in Chang'an, Wang Yu knew why after hearing the news of Emperor Wai's death, his aunt Wang Zhengjun wanted to drive to Weiyang Palace, there was no way, Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace were too far away, not to mention, and they were not in one place at all, not to mention a seventy-year-old old lady, who was a strong young man who walked from Changle Palace to Weiyang Palace, was tired and half dead.

However, in the history books, in order to blacken the Empress Dowager, the word "driving" was deliberately used to describe the impatient mood of wanting to save a class and seize power.

Different from the palace pattern of later generations sitting in the north and facing south, in addition to the Weiyang Palace and Weiyang Palace, which are located on the top of Longshou Mountain and can overlook the entire Chang'an, are facing north and backing to the south, the Jianzhang Palace newly built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is sitting on the west and facing the east.

Compared with the noisy and crowded houses near the Luocheng Gate in the northeast corner of Chang'an, Shangguanli can be regarded as a mansion near the root of the imperial city, which is not only spacious and quiet, but also close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Imperial Shi Dafu Temple and the Great Sima Mansion, which has always been the residence of dignitaries.

I heard that Wang An introduced Wang Shu and knew that Shangguanli is the same as ordinary Lifang, the doors of all houses are open inward, there are high walls around it, and everyone has to go through the inner gate to enter and exit, so this is not the most desirable place in the minds of Chang'an City officials.

If you want to say where it is most comfortable to live in Chang'an, or is it Qili near the north gate of Weiyang Palace, although it has the name of "li", but many of the doors in this room are directly facing the street of Beique, and are not controlled by the chief and the prison gate.

If Shangguanli can be regarded as a top-level apartment of more than 100 square meters in the third ring road of the capital in the later world, then there is a household in Qili, and the people who live in it are all soup rats near Houhai in the capital of the later world, and the gap is not obvious.

If you want to live in Qili, generally speaking, you must be related to the royal family, and at least you must have a father who is even better than Li Gang.

But things are not absolute, for example, Dong Xian, the first pseudo-mother of the Han Dynasty, not only lives here, but the location is still the closest to the palace gate and the best feng shui.

Of course, Dong Xian also gave a lot, not only dedicated himself, but also contributed his sister to the Son of Heaven, and also contributed his wife.

Although these two people basically don't go home much, they play 21p with the Son of Heaven in the palace all day long, but Dong Xian's house is quite magnificent, there is no way, who can stand Liu Xin's willingness.

To say that Liu Xin really did the advertising slogan "He is good and I am good" to the extreme, not only moved the money in the palace to Dong Xian's house, but even gave Dong Xian all the best things from all over the world, but used parallel goods instead.

So in just two or three years, Dong Xian even ate and took it, and waited until Liu Xin's death to pull a list of his family, good guy, a full 4.3 billion yuan, which is close to 10.3 billion yuan when converted into purchasing power in later generations!! You must know that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was at his poorest, his annual military expenditure was less than 2 billion yuan.

Since the Son of Heaven estimates that there is still a month to live at most, Wang Shu is extremely concerned about this matter, if Daddy Wang Mang can spend this money on the blade, such as the upcoming drought and flood disaster, it can solve many problems.

The simplest, use all this money to buy food, every person in the Han Dynasty can get nearly 200 catties of grain, if it is calculated according to 1 catty of grain a day, it is enough for a Han Dynasty person to eat for half a year, and then what natural disasters are you afraid of**.

As soon as the group walked to the inner door of Shangguanli, they saw the eldest brother Wang Yu holding his little sister Wang Yan looking at him with a smile, and Wang Shu and others hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

When they arrived at the door of the house, it was even more lively, not only did the slaves and maids in the family come out to greet them, but Dr. Zhang, who heard the news, also arrived, and even the guard dog Rhubarb surrounded Wang Shu and others to spread joy.

Told that his grandmother, father, and queen mother were already waiting in the front hall, Wang Xu hurriedly took Liao Wenfei, Chen Yu and Wei Zheng to meet him.

Liao Wenfei said it to himself, but Chen Yu and Wei Zheng were a little hesitant, you must know that in the Han Dynasty, only people who were extremely close would take the initiative to invite each other to meet their elders, although Wei Zheng was a technical nerd, he also understood that this was because Wang Shu valued himself very much.

But in the end, they still went to the front hall together to meet Wang Mang and others, not to mention the reception banquet and the like, everyone was happy at the moment.
