Chapter 161: A Special Welcome Gift
ps: The historical data of the four people can be checked, there is no fabrication, please subscribe!
It is solemn and solid as a rock, its essence is introverted and splendid, carrying the magnificent scenery of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, shouldering the essence of an empire, its name is Chang'an. [23[]x
The huge and unbelievably large city wall of Chang'an City, which was as black as a dragon, not only shocked the four hairy boys, but also made them realize how stupid and ignorant they were in their previous contempt and prejudice.
There are people outside the mountain, and the frogs at the bottom of the well, who are fledgling, are frightened when they see the world of flowers outside the well for the first time.
The thick city wall of Chang'an City is the core of the city, the city wall with a thickness of ten zhang subverts the understanding of the city wall by four young people, and the complex moat composed of eight rivers surrounding Chang'an, the solid and wide stone arch bridge crosses over, and every qiē is like a gear meshed together to the extreme, which is many times higher than the small earth city of their own royal capital.
The highest head of the city hangs a red background and black characters, with a huge "Han" character written on the ancient seal, and the other side is a totem dragon flag, the shape and specifications are the same as the big Xu, black and red are domineering.
The Qin people are still black, and the Chu people are still red.
The Han people are the Chu people, inheriting the Qin system, with red as the base and black as the word, black and red inherit the essence of the Qin and Chu veins, and the black and red banner is the pride of the Han Empire, and it is the pride of the Han people.
Stepping through the dark doorway into the center of Chang'an, the cruel reality once again hit their fragile hearts.
Patches of black and red two-story buildings are scattered all over the city, either with black walls and red walls and black tiles.
The black is as deep as steel, and the red is as magnificent as blood.
Black and red are iron and blood.
In the bright sunlight, the wall tiles reflect the dazzling light. It's not as brilliant as gold, but it's more thick and magnificent. Majestic.
The distance between them is a little farther, and the overall structure of the two-story building can not be seen clearly, only from a distance to see the exquisite details, only to see the eaves on the roof tiles, carved beams and paintings,
There is also a very beautiful open-air balcony on the second floor, where the women upstairs can be vaguely seen arranging flowers and plants, and some families have turned out their beds to hang ropes to dry bedding and all kinds of clothes.
Those clothes are not simply black and red, red, white, blue, green, purple, blue, yellow, orange, everything. Colorful styles are different and look good.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and they were already intoxicated by the purple and red of Chang'an City.
The last trace of contempt in my heart also dissipated with the wind.
At this moment, it happened to be just after the end of the day.
The gates of Luli are open in all directions, and the Han people in black clothes and red clothes are lined up in a neat line, shouting the trumpet and taking neat steps towards the north of Chang'an City, their movements are neat and uniform like a professional army, and passers-by are accustomed to this common strange thing.
"How many nobles are the princes and princes of Waibo invited by the imperial court? The old man has given a salute to several crown princes! ”
The four men stopped the carriage and stopped the inside of a Luli gate on the side of the road, and the old man was in his seventies and thin. It seemed that his ears were a little back, and he asked several times before he suddenly said, "What did you say?" What are they going to do, you ask? To work, of course! ”
"To work? How does it look more like it's going to war? ”
"Hey! What kind of war is this? In battle, you have to line up to go to the arsenal to receive heavy weapons, and you have to change into armor to form a formation, which is more than ten times more complicated than this simple queue. Standing in line for work is a habit that has been cultivated for many years, what? When did this habit come up, you ask? Then you really asked the right person, do you know Shang Jun Gongsun Marting? Right! It was the Shang Ying who changed the law in the Qin State. It's the rules he came up with, and the rules from Daqin's time have been used for almost two hundred years. We Guanzhong people have long been used to it. ”
The four young crown princes looked at each other.
I never thought that I could catch an old man casually and be able to reach the old yellow calendar of the Great Qin Empire, and it was a rule set by Shang Ying to line up for work. What kind of ordinary rule is this, it is clearly a requirement that the people of Guanzhong should develop the military quality of lining up in a formation from a trivial matter, and the involuntary expression of clothing, food, housing, and transportation is a rigid military characteristic, which is precisely the characteristic of the classical militaristic system.
The old man tried his best to avoid talking about the title of being a Qin person, but he could not hide the temperament characteristics formed by the old Qin people over the centuries, brave and fearless, rigid and strict, united and tenacious, ordering and prohibiting, and treating death as home.
Qin is Han, Han is Qin, when the figures of Qin and Han coincide together, the four princes present couldn't help but feel excited, creepy.
Luli can't get in, not to mention that the thin Lizheng won't let them go, and the county soldiers who are driving the car won't allow it, and the cavalry soldiers of the Northern Army guarding the various crossings will watch coldly, they can only look at the exquisite and luxurious two-story houses, and they really want to go in and take a look, even if it's just a glance.
"This is Chang'an City? No! I think it's a big barracks, a big barracks for hundreds of thousands of people. Wei Youqu was afraid after wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Nope! I don't think it's exact, the whole Guanzhong is like a big barracks. ”
"The six countries of Kwantung are slightly looser than Guanzhong, and the system is exactly the same as Guanzhong, so the Han Empire is a big military camp?"
"Perhaps! A large military camp of 36oo people, am I crazy? Pinch me and try it, ouch! Why are you trying so hard! Okay, you want to kill me, don't you? ”
"Humph! It's obviously ugly, you kid asked me to pinch it, but you didn't say how hard you want to go. ”
The two tsundere men pinched up again, Zhao Yingqi was watching the play, and Wei Youqu was staying.
He was really stunned, and he couldn't figure out how this amazing country, a country with the same agrarian civilization as Wei's North Korea, could be incredibly powerful, why?
Wei Youqu fell into thought.
Let's ask which dynasty the imperial capital of the imperial city is like a large military camp, and soldiers wearing heavy armor and strong bows and crossbows can be seen everywhere at various crossings, they are not simply patrolling public security, but more like a group of gendarmes inspecting soldiers.
When the people of the capital of the dynasty went to work, they wanted to work in a group of soldiers, and lined up in a neat line to work in the east and west cities under the leadership of the five doctors, which was a large military camp and the demeanor of a military power through and through.
Perhaps it would be right to call it a big prison, where every civilian is like a prisoner in a prison, and the soldiers act as prison guards to patrol and inspect it.
Wei Youqu said: "I heard that the Han people are all soldiers. How many soldiers are there? ”
"The Qin system is also a household compiled by Qi people, and I know more about this. I heard my great-grandfather say that before the First Emperor unified the Six Kingdoms, one million households in Guanzhong gave one ding per household. The full strength of the Qin army was one million, and later more than 100,000 were added to Bashu. "Zhao Yingqi's great-grandfather was the Qin general Zhao Tuo, who was an authentic descendant of the Qin people.
Su Wang said in surprise: "I heard that there are more than 7 million Han households and 36 million people, so doesn't that mean that the Han people can raise 7 million soldiers?" ”
The four of them gasped involuntarily.
There are only more than 400,000 in Dongou, more than 600,000 in Minyue, slightly more than 1 million in South Vietnam, and only 600,000 in Wei's Korea, and the population of the four families is less than half of the 7 million.
Zhuyue was annexed as early as the Warring States Period by the Chu State as a part. It was not until the Han Dynasty destroyed Qin and destroyed the Chu Dafeng princes that several small countries got the status of princes and kings, and Zhuyue was controlled by Chu and Qin from beginning to end.
Wei's North Korea, not to mention, Wei Man is Lu Juan's general, Lu Juan's traitor was attacked by the angry Taizu Liu Bang, Wei Man secretly took people to take refuge in Jizi Korea, and was appointed as a doctor by the last king of Jizi Korea, but he didn't expect it to be an unfamiliar wolf who attacked the master. He seized the real power of Jizi Joseon and changed his name to Wei Joseon.
These four small states belong to the Han system, and they have long thought that the Han Empire will annex them sooner or later, and they are not afraid of ghosts.
Suddenly, the four of them lost their good mood. Sitting in the carriage and staring blankly at the bustling Luli passing by in his eyes, when the dreaming Chang'an City was placed in front of them, it was so cruel to them.
The car drove to Daxing's mansion before he came back to his senses.
The four young crown princes still remember the purpose of their trip. Raise the spirit to meet the Daxing Ling Tian Wei, and confirm the identity of the delivery sigil. Inventory of tributes tossed a whole day.
As the sun sets, fiery clouds as red as blood hang high in the sky. The young crown princes dragged their tired steps out of the Daxing Decree Mansion.
"I'm exhausted! The etiquette rules of the Han people are too complicated, and their legs are about to be lame after kneeling for a day. ”
"I also hate kneeling, how comfortable it is to sit cross-legged like us, and my legs are still numb."
"I feel like I'm going to die, strange clothes, strange buns, strange etiquette and strange accents, I heard that this is Yayin, why can't I hear where Yayin is?"
"Because you are so stupid, the ancestors of the Han people have called themselves Xia for two thousand years, and you can't hear it now."
"Ugly! Do you want to fight? ”
"Don't you, I'm afraid of you?"
The two of them confronted each other almost face to face, and they would have been pulled away by the other two in the past, but today it was strange that no one came to obstruct them.
Confrontation is commonplace, this time the confrontation between the two is more intense, the closer they get, the tip of the nose touches the tip of the nose, and the mouth almost touches the mouth, but the confrontation for a long time does not see anyone come to the fight, the two tacitly take a few steps back and at the same time open the distance between each other, turn their heads and see Zhao Yingqi and Wei Youqu looking at the people on the street in amazement.
"Hey, what are they doing here?"
"Line up to the south, don't go home in the evening, this is going to work again?"
"You're so stupid and incorrigible, have you ever seen someone who comes home from a busy day and goes to work?"
"I've seen it, isn't it the Han people in front of you?"
"I'm convinced."
Woooooo
The terrible sound of the conch came from the south of the city, and the crowd of people who kept coming out of the city was like a stream that flowed into the river, forming a neat queue and walking slowly as if walking past.
The four of them involuntarily followed the team to the south, slowly merging into the huge flow of people, as if the fish had returned to the sea and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
To the south, all the way to the south, across the galloping road between the Changle Palace and the Weiyang Palace, the sky pavilion road (overhead) is said to be the main passage of the Son of Heaven to the Changle Palace, when they cross the pavilion road, with the afterglow to see the beautiful palace maids in full costume standing on the pavilion road, with their hands folded facing the south and chanting words and praying.
The crowd was full of residents of Chang'an with solemn expressions and enthusiastic eyes, as well as beautiful palace maids praying with their hearts, and the four young people became more and more curious.
Walking out of the city along the wide gates, and walking forward for a while over the stone arch bridge, you will be greeted by a huge square, with neat stone slabs made of marble on the surface, and stone troughs and dark wells all around that extend to the branches of the river ditch in the distance.
The atmosphere is luxurious, and the cost is sky-high. Even more incredible!
The crown princes of the four vassal states all came from small places, and stilted buildings made of bamboo and wood were the most common. The highest-level royal palace will be modeled after the Han system to build a luxurious palace built of rammed earth and civil structure. Considering the labor cost and the substandard technology, the palace in the palace had to shrink several times, and there were substandard products that cut corners.
The stone slabs paved with pure marble, and they are not afraid of stealing in the open air, they are simply the ultimate evolution of rich and willful.
The four people's eyes flashed with the symbol of five baht coins, this is a lot of money, incredibly much wealth, how rich are the Han people?
Wei Youqu touched the heavy five-baht coins in this pocket, which contained a thousand finely made five-baht coins. This is the mother money that he is going to bring back to China to imitate, although he also knows that it is very difficult for Webster's national strength to imitate the five-baht coin, but even if only five images are imitated, removing the complex anti-counterfeiting logo can also be called a great achievement.
He knew that the other three were also secretly hiding five baht coins, and the general idea was to get some copper coins and go back to imitate them, thinking that his own treasury could also imitate 1.2 billion five-baht coins, Wei Youqu was so happy in his heart that he couldn't do it.
"The emperor of the Han family is much richer than us, and the combined population of our four families is only one-fifteenth of the Han Empire, and the five-baht money is about one-fifteenth of it!"
"That makes sense. We in Dongou have made every effort to smelt copper coins, and we can save 800 million coins in three years. ”
"You can't do it! We have a billion dollars in Minyue in two and a half years! ”
"We in South Vietnam will have two billion dollars in two years." Zhao Yingqi said proudly.
The largest and strongest territory of the Yue country south of Sanyue is also the strongest, compared with Minyue, which has eight mountains, one water and one field, Dongou is much richer.
Four people calculate their own currency. The total of the four families is about 5o billion yuan, and then the Han Empire is multiplied by fifteen times about 7.5 billion yuan, and several people smacked their tongues when they came up with the figure. 7.5 billion is an astronomical amount, no wonder everyone says that the Han Empire is extremely rich. Sure enough, it's a golden country.
Follow the flow of people into the square, follow the residents of Chang'an to kneel and pray. The others were praying earnestly with their eyes half-closed, and the four of them looked around without knowing the rules, and now the flow of people from different directions outside the city was still growing, as if the residents of Guanzhong were looking in.
Woowoo......
Hearing the conch up close was extremely harsh, like a sharp chirp of an eagle falcon.
At this time, the four young men stood up quietly, carefully looked at the huge stone buildings at the north and south ends of the square, the rough and domineering architectural style was completely different from the palace structure in the city, they did not know where this style came from, but the style full of strange emotions was unforgettable.
The four of them walked up the stairs, and suddenly stopped in front of the white boulder pillar on the periphery of the palace, and the boulder pillar that the four of them could not enclose together brought them a completely unimaginable impact.
Where did you find such a big stone pillar? How did it get to Chang'an City? And how was it erected?
How did the huge stone building with more than ten feet of steps high?
Mystery obscured their eyes, they thought they had figured out the economic strength of the Han Empire, but when they saw the huge stone buildings in front of them, they felt as if they had miscalculated.
"How strong are the Han people? Why is it so strong? This is completely different from my father's description, what is wrong? Wei Youqu was puzzled, he silently made up his mind in his heart, he must figure out the reason before leaving the Han land, the emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne is a rare opportunity, after this village may not have this shop.
The Han army on duty glanced at it, ignoring the four gorgeously dressed country natives, who were still immersed in shock.
Dozens of zhang of the temple rises from the ground, the pure white marble is as dazzling as snow, the sunset is dyed with a thick layer of glow, the mountains are like daisies, the sunset is like fire, the sunset is like blood, the temple is like blood and fire, and there is a thrilling beauty in the silence.
Stepping into the temple, the vivid murals and carvings on the walls on both sides once again brought a strong shock.
Looking carefully at the past, it is clearly a legendary epic of a nation.
In the first painting of the opening chapter, the giant sits on his knees and stretches out his hands to look at the land of the rising sun, as if he is singing the praises of the great sun, and the tribe of the giants trudges towards the land of the rising sun.
The name of the Psalm is Praise Father Chasing the Sun.
The four of them looked at each other, reading surprise and fear in each other's eyes, and the legend of Kuafu chasing the sun was widely spread among the tribes, at least in the Age of Ignorance (Stone Age), when they had just lost their hair and drank blood, and had become an important myth of the tribes.
The temple of the Han people puts Kuafu chasing the sun in the first chapter, which means that it is to tell everyone, are they the descendants of Kuafu?
They quietly swallowed their saliva, and looked back along the murals, from the three emperors to the five emperors and finally stopped at the Daxia banner of King Dayu, those flowers, birds, insects and seals looked so strange, but the four people clearly saw the words on the monuments of their respective tribes, which were ancient characters in ancient times two thousand years ago.
Tens of thousands of tribal leaders succumbed to the Xia people's big Xu, and the big Xia character on the Peacock Ling Banner was the legendary dynasty of the Han people, and the co-lord of the world recognized by the tribes within a radius of 100,000 miles, King Dayu.
The faces of the four crown princes changed suddenly: "How did they do it?" ”
Looking down along the picture, the Shang king destroyed Xia, the Zhou people came to the west, and once again raised the Xia flag, the Zhou people claimed to have Xia, called Huaxia to the outside world, and the canonized vassal states were called Zhuxia.
Yu Wang said in horror: "I don't think we should come here, let's leave quickly." ”
"Coward! Since you're here, what are you leaving, I'll pull you don't want to run. The ugly man pulled the arm of the donkey and didn't let go.
The four young men cautiously walked towards the center of the temple, stepped into the core area of the temple, and saw the giant god statue bathed in golden sunlight as if the sun was radiating brilliant brilliance.
Hundreds of devotees sat silently, looking up at the huge deity on the idol, the legendary god of the sun.
The solemn singing slowly sounded, and everyone was singing the praises of the gods, the ancestors, and the great epics of the gods, ancestors, and greatness.
"Oh my God! What do I see? Am I dazzled? ”
"I hit an evil today."
"I ......"
Suddenly, a young man walked slowly towards them, with a warm smile on his face: "Hello princes, my name is Cao Shi, welcome you on behalf of everyone." (To be continued!)
