Chapter 74: The New Chang'an Plan
With the first batch of stones slowly unloaded such as the wharf of Chang'an, the conscription army around Chang'an slowly started, and the civilian boats that appeared on the side of the Wei River slowly sailed into the port under the towing of the slender man. [][][]
"One more time, listen to me, one-two-three! Smash! ”
Bang!
There was a loud bang, the rammed earth wall was knocked open a huge gap, dozens of people carried the wooden battering ram for the siege of the city to destroy the buildings of the old city, looking at the entire northern part of Chang'an is in full swing to tear down the wall, tens of thousands of people smashed the wall and picked up the soil to level the ground, Chang'an City became a big construction site.
"The walls of the northern residential areas have all been demolished, and some preparations are still needed for the relocation of houses, and the Shaofu has spent 50,000 tents to bring in the first batch of 20,000 tents, so we can bring out the residents in the northeast first." Cao Shi held the account book to check the numbers, and from time to time he had to write notes in the blank space next to him.
The prince arrived at the engineering command post in Beique Jiadi and sat down in person, pointing to the small lattices dotted on the simple sand table with a big stroke: "Then first demolish the 20,000 houses and clean them all up within five days, so that there is enough time for the next construction." ”
Wei Wan shook his head again and again and admonished: "Your Highness, you must not! It is impossible to complete the demolition task within five days, and it will take at least ten days to have hope, and the people are very hard to serve the conscription, and if they are urged to work day and night, the people will not be able to bear the complaint of His Highness. ”
"Step by step, step by step, it takes five more days to demolish a house, ten more days to build a house, leveling the land and cleaning up the dust, everything is postponed, and it is impossible to complete the renovation of the residential area within the year, and it will take at least five years or more to complete the conscription." Cao Shi replied without rolling his eyelids.
Liu Che, who was originally hesitant, immediately changed his face: "This is not good!" Ten days is too long, it must be completed in five days, and you can figure out the specific actions yourself. ”
"What do you mean, Pingyang Hou? You proposed to transform the city, and we have no objection, but how can you abuse the people like this! "The good-tempered Prime Minister Wei Juan was also angry, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Xianyang City was burned to ruins, and it was really unreasonable for the Nuoda Empire to have no capital, Xiao He reluctantly repaired this Chang'an City for it, which does not mean that the people of the Huang Lao School agree with the Great Prosperity Levy Force.
Cao Shi patiently explained: "The construction period is too late, and everyone will be miserable if they continue to delay, so it is better for everyone to suffer more to save time and worry, and I didn't say that I must let the conscription bear all the projects, the transformation of Chang'an City is a project that benefits the whole people, and the imperial court conscription is not for nothing. ”
"Humph!" Wei Wan was still not very happy.
Doctor Yu Shi resolutely diverted the topic: "This method is good, but does this belong to apportionment of forced labor?" ”
Shaofu Yanghe Hou Qiwu also nodded, Shaofu was in charge of civil engineering and construction matters, not only proficient in engineering materials but also knew a lot about the conscription system, one of the main manifestations of Qin's extinction was the indiscriminate construction of the palace and the apportionment of a large number of conscription, which objectively aroused the dissatisfaction and resistance of the working people against the tyrannical Qin, and became one of the important symbols of anti-Qin.
"If Doctor Taizhong has any good way, just say it, I will definitely support you." Liu Che kept looking at him with expectant eyes, meaning that you have to deal with this matter yourself, and I won't wipe your ass for you.
Cao Shi smiled helplessly: "Actually, it's not complicated, just tell the residents of Chang'an to complete their own projects in Luli, do their own if they have leisure to help others, as long as they complete their work, continue to help others work, the imperial court will keep eating two meals a day, anyway, most of Chang'an will be demolished, and many workshops will not be able to start work for a while, let them choose whether to stay in the tent until the spring of next year, or they can't make money but have food, and those who have survived for most of the year can live in a new house, They themselves will know the right choice. ”
"Hey, I really let Dr. Taizhong find a way that is not a solution, this trick is very good, I like it very much." Liu Che was very satisfied, and couldn't help but hum a few words: "The peasants who serve the conscription can also stay, the time of the conscription in one month is too short, as long as the people who are willing to stay can also take care of them with two meals a day, and the degree will be faster." ”
Wei Juan hesitated for a moment: "This is not good!" The system of forced labor has been destroyed. ”
The prime minister's weak rebuttal was quickly ignored, and the destruction of the forced labor law was not precisely the construction of Chang'an City, but the change of endowment system created in the era of the first emperor to redeem and exempt from forced labor.
As the saying goes, the Han system is a militaristic system based on the 20-level military meritorious, in addition to the relatives in the palace, the princes and kings of the same clan, the meritorious princes and the following military merit system, all the people in the world have to serve regularly with conscription, and if you want to be exempted from conscription, you can only let the civil lord be promoted to five doctors, which is the starting point of breaking away from the civil lord and the beginning of exempting a family from conscription.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was normal for meritorious heroes to establish meritorious service and be exempted from servitude, and the people had no way to complain, but it was different to spend money to redeem and exempt from servitude, and those who had money to redeem and buy servitude must be wealthy businessmen and landlords.
Wei Wan lacked confidence, of course, he was ignored by other ministers, and the secretaries in the command post provided their own plans with a word.
Lieutenant Ning Cheng said with a smile: "Your Highness, our soldiers of the Northern Army can also come over to make a difference, as long as you don't need to provide accommodation for two meals a day, there is no problem for the Northern Army to send 20,000 soldiers in rotation every day." ”
"The Northern Army is the most important weapon of the country, and you can't act rashly, this is not good." The prince shook his head in denial.
Wei Wei Bai Zhi Hou Xuchang said: "There is no problem with the guards of the Southern Army, please give an order to Your Highness!" ”
"Yes, 20,000 people from the Southern Army can come and help."
Lang Zhong Linghe also said: "Although there are not many Lang Wei of the minister, there should be no problem with some strength, and the minister will send a thousand Lang Wei to assist the southern army to work together." ”
"Yes!"
Ning Cheng slapped the horse's leg on the horse's leg, but let Xu Chang take advantage of it and show his face, which made him so unhappy, not only that, but also made Lang Zhongling, the weakest of the three major military commanders in Chang'an, also fool around, and he felt very annoyed when he thought about it.
The second army of the north and south is a two-layer protection set on the city of Chang'an, the southern army is the soldiers selected by the soldiers of the six counties of the six countries of Kwantung, and the northern army is a good family from the land of the old Qin such as Guanzhong, Bashu and Longxi, and the relationship between the two sides is a bit similar to the meaning of the two sides.
As we all know, Ning Cheng's backstage is Goshawk Zhidu, and the one hidden behind Zhidu is when today's son Xià, Zhidu was promoted to lieutenant and demoted to Yanmen Taishou, Ning Chengcheng replaced Zhidu as a lieutenant in the Northern Army, and the political careers of the two of them were very similar, so when Zhidu died, Ning Cheng was terrified all day long.
I am afraid that when he was in the limelight, Chang'an Xungui, who was guilty intentionally or unintentionally, took revenge on him, especially when the Son of Heaven was seriously ill and ignored the government, his sense of crisis was increasing day by day, and the eagle dog raised by the Son of Heaven was not afraid of heaven and earth, and the most feared thing was that the master would leave it alone, once the master did not ask him whether he was alive or dead, he would really be like a lost dog.
Ning Chengcheng is a dog who can't live all day long, the prince's governance of the country is tantamount to a bolt from the blue, there is only one way to go in front of him, continue to be a dog in front of the prince Liu Che to take care of the family, provided that Liu Che sees his ability.
It's unfortunate that Liu Che doesn't have a lot of interest in Ning Cheng, the abolished prince Liu Rong, who died unjustly a few years ago, touched him a lot, and even with Zhi Du and Ning Cheng and others, he didn't like it very much, even if the prince wanted to raise eagle dog minions, he wouldn't find an old dog to feed, Pingyang Hou Caoshi's talent is rare for a hundred years, it doesn't mean that eagle dog minions are difficult to cultivate, it's nothing more than pointing to where to hit and bite people, this world is a young man staring at Ning Cheng's position.
Le Cheng Hou Ding Wuke folded his fingers and counted for a long time, and said with a bitter face: "The population who wants to eat is a bit large, can Your Highness compress the demand, otherwise no matter how full the treasury is, it will not be able to withstand so many people eating food for a few months in vain!" ”
Ding Wuke was in charge of one of the nine Qing Da Nong Ling, which was previously called Zhisu Neishi, mainly responsible for the annual income from the field tax and the poll tax, and the large granaries of Chang'an Luoyang were all under his jurisdiction, and the money for the construction of Chang'an's treasury was also from him.
Liu Che's gaze drifted over again.
Cao Shi could only shrug helplessly: "I have a plan, I can't let the businessmen in Chang'an City take advantage of it in vain, they must pay for the new housing project out of their own pockets, the size of each house and the thickness of the wall must be calculated, and those who have no money can be converted into the same grain according to the market price, in short, the transformation of Chang'an is mainly private houses and public facilities, and the houses in the two cities still have to be renovated at their own expense. and impose a fine equal to the size of the house. ”
"Not bad, not bad! If the plan is foolproof, then turn it with all your might! Liu Che raised his head and looked at the sky, making a confident appearance with a bamboo in his chest.
