The carriage shook slightly, and the wheels of the carriage shook over the bluestone slabs, Cao Shi rarely came to Chang'an City recently, and he was a little uncomfortable when he first arrived in the new city. ⊥

Contrary to his expectations, the northern part of Chang'an City underwent a drastic urban transformation, and the residential areas originally adjacent to the north were moved eastward as a whole, and the northern part was transformed into a large commercial distribution center.

The scale of the transformation is very large, the original Chang'an two cities of the old site unified transformation into the new West City, the East City was moved to the northeast to demarcate a huge area, the scale of the two cities is enlarged nearly five times, the four Fangmen are set up separately, quite a bit of the city in the city.

The two cities are one of the few areas that allow three-storey buildings, and a new batch of three-storey buildings are magnificent, which is a landmark building complex in Chang'an City, and Xinxi City is a large-scale handicraft workshop area, and the workshops of Pingyang Garment Factory have moved to Xinxi City, becoming one of the several major faces of Chang'an.

Xindong City is the former site of the Chang'an residential area, which already has relatively complete infrastructure, and has been slightly transformed into a single family shop, as well as an inn specializing in accommodation services, and the sales store of the garment workshop is also in the East Market.

Walking all the way to enjoy the bustling street scenery, Cao Shi admired Han Anguo's courage and skill, originally the design plan he gave was only a semi-finished product, and the planning of the northern part of Chang'an City was messy and there was no unified solution, Han Anguo seized the opportunity to do a major operation on the north of Chang'an City, and the idea of dividing the two cities into separate business districts was very bold.

In fact, Han Anguo's thoughts are also easy to understand, according to the original plan, he will never be able to get out of Cao Shi's trap, although two full years have passed, the influence left by Cao Shi has not yet dissipated, especially when he instructs Zhang Tang to implement a separate plan from time to time. The bureaucracy of the Shaofu still obeyed the behind-the-scenes guidance of the Che Cavalry General.

Unknowingly, Han Anguo has been a young man for two years, and according to Han law, there are few Jiuqing who have served for a long time. It can be as short as one and a half years, or as long as two or three years, and sooner or later it will be transferred out of the position of Shaofu. Han Anguo has no time to continue to mess around, and if he continues to do nothing, sooner or later he will leave a mediocre and talented evaluation, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, the implementation of the plan left by Cao Shi cannot be regarded as a person with real skills.

Han Anguo couldn't say if he was bitter, and the implementation of Cao Shi's plan made him full of money, because most of the hundreds of design drawings left by Cao Shi were unreliable, and the really reliable ones had already been used by him. It takes a lot of effort to execute and fix the defects, and it's really hard to innovate.

But he really innovated, and the results of innovation are quite extraordinary, Cao Shi's drawings are backed up in the imperial court, which ones are originally there and which ones are not clear at a glance, the three princes and nine secretaries can no longer say that Han Anguo is incompetent, this move is very good.

"Look, you see, it's the Lamp Market."

The direction indicated by the drama letter is one of several small cities in Xindong City. The doors of the shops on both sides of the street are wide open, and the large signs with the names of various lighting tools, from the worst bamboo lanterns to the paper lanterns of the higher ones. Spheres, cylindrical shapes, squares are varied. Colorful is good-looking.

"Lighting, you want to buy one?"

Ji Xin touched his head and was embarrassed: "Tomorrow is Xia Yu's birthday, I haven't thought about anything to send her yet." When I saw the lantern, I suddenly thought that it seemed good to give her a lantern. ”

"You give this thing as a gift for someone's birthday?"

"Ahh Oh, yes! ”

Cao Shi shook his head and smiled: "You kid is really an elm head, what's the use of sending a lantern." ”

"Flower lanterns can be used for lighting! At night, it is dark and you can't see the road clearly, and there is a light that is not afraid of darkness. ”

"It's really stupid, Xia Yu is seventeen years old this year, and she has to pay two more penalty taxes every year, although she doesn't care about this money, but she waits for you for so long like asking for a lantern that is not afraid of the dark?"

"Huh?"

The drama letter was dumbfounded, he is not yet eighteen years old this year, he is still a person who eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, he has no heart and no lungs to be a mess, he never thought about getting married at all, he just thinks that it is good to have a beautiful girl to talk about friends and have a stable relationship.

But he didn't think that Xia Yu couldn't wait, in any classical society, seventeen-year-old girls belong to old girls, the general life expectancy of the ancients was not long, the average life expectancy in the early Han Dynasty was less than fifty years old, after sixty years of exhibition, barely reached fifty-seven or eighteen years old, and there was still a long way to go before the age of sixty-five was exempted from forced labor.

Excluding a few old monsters who have lived past the age of more than ninety and almost a hundred years old, seventeen years old is one-third of a short life in the eyes of the ancients, Xia Yu's youth is only a few short years, she can't learn from Chen Ajiao to find a little man to live at a young age, and her heart is tormented by all kinds of uncomfortable grievances.

Xia Yu is destined to not climb the high branches of Pingyang Hou, and the family in the Hou Mansion can't get into her eyes, so she chooses to pick a young and promising person with a good appearance and a good ability, but I didn't expect this guy to be a Ma Daha, and after talking about it for a few years, there was no movement, and you said that you didn't react, but it was too far from her expectations.

She didn't want to ruin her life's events, celebrating her birthday was a great opportunity, the left hinted at the right hint and sent him to confess quickly, she thought that everything was ready and only owed Dongfeng, but she didn't expect to underestimate the low EQ of the drama letter.

Ji Xin's eyes widened and he looked dazed: "Then what should I do?" ”

Cold.

Cao Shi really wanted to teach him how to be a man.

Helplessly, this guy is agile and may not catch people, and sighed: "You kid is really the best in the world, why don't you go to the flower market to buy flowers, go to the garment workshop and see Xia Yu and quickly propose, three media and six hired people to worry about you, can I save the rewards I gave you in the past few years?" ”

"It's saved." The drama letter nodded hurriedly.

"That's not easy, go back and count the rewards as hiring money! This money is nothing more than a left-handed hand-to-right-handed, Xia Yu is richer than you, and her dowry is enough for you to earn! ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go."

Ji Xin turned over and got out of the carriage, turned his head and ordered the guards to take care of the safety of Pingyang Hou, hurriedly rode on his horse and ran, and after a while, the figure disappeared.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, the carriage on his back foot turned into the quiet alley.

This is the Dongshi store pù business district, and those who can't afford to rent a shop on the street will set up shop in the alley, and the new two cities have their own rules. Ling Cheng is in charge of the opening and closing of the two cities, and the activities of the two cities are from the beginning of the morning (7 o'clock in the morning) to the end of the morning (9 o'clock in the evening). With the exception of the two cities adjacent to the Wei River in the north, night curfews are still enforced. Only the two cities can continue to open until 9 p.m.

This system breaks the strict curfew in disguise, and the advantage is that people who want to go out to play at night can go to the East Market openly during the day, and close the four gates of Chang'an City at nightfall, and the doors of the city are also closed for 6 consecutive years, and the east and west cities also close all the doors to become an independent night market, and activities are allowed until 9 o'clock in the evening and then clear the venue and rest.

Cao Shi came early, the sun had just set, and the carriage turned into a single-family courtyard in the alley and stopped.

When I got out of the carriage, I saw a beautiful woman walking towards me. This woman is Liu Ling, the daughter of the former Huainan king.

"Meet the Prince."

"Hehe, don't be polite."

Liu Ling smiled and said, "Within a few months of the prince's return, his skin has become a lot whiter. ”

"I didn't dare to go out for two months at home, and the sun there was really strong, not as good as your skin was still white and tender, and it wasn't tanned." Cao Shi touched his nose in embarrassment: "Go in and say?" ”

The two entered the wing room one after the other, the interior decoration was very simple, and the courtyard itself was Liu Ling's temporary foothold in Chang'an City, hidden in the residential area of Chang'an City, which was not conspicuous, but Han Anguo made a large-scale move to give some compensation. She didn't want to make up for the compound that had been rebuilt in situ, and it became a temporary residence again.

"How is Jiangxia County arranged?"

"The newly established county, the people of the old Chu and Jing Man have not finished walking, and the layout is very slow."

Cao Shi frowned. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the counties set up by the imperial court in the south have been very rough, and there are often cases where a county has a population of millions and the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu. Liu Bi, the king of Wu, showed great military power and sounded a wake-up call to the imperial court. From that time on, the emperor had a plan in his heart to fully control the southern counties.

Last year's conquest of Sanyue crushed the main opposition forces in the southern border areas, and Cao Shi's strategy was to relocate the people and defend the territory. It is precisely in line with the interests of the Son of Heaven, the southern Han people and Jingman went south to defend the land, and the northern Han people continued to fill the vacancies in the south 6 years ago, the amount of work is very large, and the management costs brought by it are also very high, from the beginning of the year to the end of August spent 3o billion settlement fees, and at present, only one-third of the migration has been completed, and the northern relocation is a shadowless thing for the time being.

The migration needs to last for two or three years, which means that the emperor will not start a large-scale war in the last two or three years, and the population distribution and migration is a great plan for the benefit of the country and the people, and the basic national policy must not be abandoned casually, even if it is necessary to pay the price and endure the pain of loss.

Cao Shi is a general of the cavalry, he knows a lot about military innovation and troop training, and the heavy cavalry that has been trained for two years cannot fight for the time being, although it costs 300 million yuan a year to train the expensive price to raise the heavy cavalry, but it has to be said that it will continue for three years before the harvest of the fruits, and the group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old little guys are two years old, and their equestrian and horse fighting skills are already very proficient, but there is still a lot of sprint period from the peak of their body and strength, and at least three years can be improved to a level.

With so much real money invested, you can't just give it up halfway.

Relying on the rise of horse racing and polo, the stable horse breeding in Guanzhong has begun to take shape, and in the last two years, tens of thousands of horses have been purchased from the northern Xiongnu and the northwest plateau, and the breeding and training infrastructure has just been established, and there is no chance of maturity in at least three years, and a foal will not mature until at least three years.

"Three years! It will take at least three years, but do we really have three years? ”

Cao Shi was very worried, the movements of the Huns were unknown, Zhao She's flying pigeon passed on intermittently, the latest secret letter exchange mentioned very fatal news, Wei's Korean royal envoy appeared in Longcheng Shan Yuting, Cao Shi's first thought of the person was Wei Youqu, the crown prince of Korea lived in Chang'an City for a few months, and knew the terroir inside and outside the Han Dynasty very well, he even saw stirrups and saddles, as well as the field training of the cavalry of the Chang'an Northern Army.

The Huns had stirrups and saddles, and the advantage of the Han army was eliminated before the war began, and how to fight next.

"Jiangxia County is different from other counties, Jiangxia's geographical location is very important, the county governance of Xiling County (Wuhan Xinzhou District) is not good, my opinion is to move the county to Shaxian County (Wuhan City) in the southwest of Xiling County, which is an important hub to guard the north and south of the Yangtze River, to the south of Yunmengze, to the west of Shuzhong Chengdu. It is very important to go east to the left of the river, where it is very important to vigorously develop a freight distribution point and a water 6 hub. In the next step, the Han army needs to be supported by this place as a way to go south. ”

"Where are you going to say?"

"Well, the imperial court must have a transportation hub to control the southern counties. Shaxian County, Jiangxia County is more suitable, I will try to persuade the permission of the imperial court and the Son of Heaven, and strive for the county to implement the migration population near Shaxian within the year, you don't have to be afraid to spend money to do it, I will give you 1oo billion dollars to pave the road to do, and prepare what is lacking, and strive to set up the hub of Shaxian County within three years. ”

Liu Ling frowned slightly: "How is the development of the new ship you mentioned last time?" It is not safe for me to take a small boat to the big river in the south, and it is not convenient for the building boat to enter the small river. ”

"Shaofu Cheng Zhang Tang is staring at it, and has designed a plan to overturn it several times for more than a year. The keel and the basic structure are almost all thought out, all that remains is to deal with the new combination of mortise and tenon joints and nails, how is the wood preparation for the shipbuilding? ”

"Trees harvested at the beginning of the year are dried and can be used at least the year after."

"The year after? Then cut more, maybe we still have to sail in the open sea galleon wood, Shaofu is developing a different from the building ship of the pointed bottom boat, maybe in two or three years there is an eyebrow on the use, cut more good wood and transport it to the north to dry. ”

Liu Ling shook his head: "To arrange Shaxian's industry, you also have to cut down trees. Time is needed everywhere and money is needed, and 1oo billion money is simply not enough. ”

"I still have 200 million and a half baht in my treasury, and all that is left is gold and silver, and I don't lack gold and silver at all. In this way, you write a list for me, and when the time comes, I will send someone to purchase it for you and send it to Shaxian, and give you 1.2o billion money to make the layout you need in the south. ”

When leaving Higashi City. The sky had darkened a lot, and Cao Shi looked at the sunset absentmindedly. He himself couldn't figure out how he had somehow become like this, and times seemed to have changed.

The Son of Heaven and the imperial court were silent and hurried to prepare for the Huns. In addition to the stupid Qingliu who were still singing the praises of peace and prosperity, many high-ranking officials understood that there would be a war between the imperial court and the Xiongnu.

Cao Shi is also grasping the time not to let go, he invested tens of billions of money to build Shaxian's industrial chain, he is looking at the expansion prospects of the south, sooner or later Shaxian will become a metropolis between the north and the south, at that time his investment will be doubled with interest to earn back, even if he sells land, sooner or later he will become a billionaire, but his purpose is not simply to make money.

Having money is just to achieve the goal, his goal is to create two Han expansion channels to the south and west, no one in this era believes that it will be profitable to fight the Xiongnu, and the Son of Heaven himself does not believe that there are interests in fighting the Xiongnu, it is just a pure idea of hegemony, and the powerful Han Empire wants to kill the Xiongnu Empire riding on the head.

The good days of the liehous will not be too long, the Son of Heaven is becoming more and more vigilant and vigilant against the liehous, and he has not taken out the lieutenant Fan Itguang so far, and the Jiuqing of the guard Zhuang Qingzhai is only because the war of the Sanyue has just ended, and the pacification measures for the meritorious ministers are not in place, and the three armies are very dissatisfied with the imperial court, and the imperial court needs to appease the opinions put forward by the three armies, and the meritorious ministers cannot be lightly moved.

Moreover, the Xiongnu have not yet fought on their own chaotic position, and the Son of Heaven has no confidence to use Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Gongsun Ao and others to defeat the Xiongnu, leaving the full support of the military meritorious princes and princes Whether they can play the Xiongnu war is still unknown, the emperor decided to temporarily press the contradiction is only an expedient measure, and after two or three years to prepare enough confidence to improve, maybe the emperor will change generals in battle, or use the war to make it difficult for the princes.

Cao Shi will not have too much personal danger, after all, his special relationship with Liu Che, the Son of Heaven, is there, but the Meritorious Liehou Group is not easy to say, if Cao Shi does not want to be a hairless Phoenix Light Pole Commander, he has to find ways to protect the interests of the Meritorious Liehou Group, and going south is a chain of interests created by him, and Southwest Yi is the next direction of expansion.

The imperial court wants to prepare for the Xiongnu, three years will not be on the southwest Yi, it does not mean that the southwest Yi will be quiet, the king of Dian covets the Yelang country is known to the world, this is a very good opportunity for expansion, after all, the court is unwilling to touch the army, it does not mean that the Han Empire has no soldiers to fight, the princes are one, and the prisoner army is another.

The killer weapon of the Han Empire is the Prisoner Army, and it will not use the Prisoners as the main force unless it is absolutely necessary.

Cao Shi was in a heavy mood: "I have to wait for three years, what if the Huns are restless?" Is it too late for three years? (To be continued!)

ps: I'm sorry for being late today, because I want to write a big chapter to explain the end clearly, so I'm late.
