Chapter 88: The Return of the Son of Heaven

At the beginning of July, when the last Luli in the city of Chang'an was completed, and all the works in the new Chang'an City were completed, millions of people cheered and celebrated the end of the huge project that lasted for nearly five months, and one million people spent five months building a new Chang'an City, even if it was only demolished and rebuilt.

Because Qin Xianyang City was burned to ashes by Xiang Yu, Emperor Taizu Gao was in full swing at the beginning of the country's construction, until the fifth year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Chang'an City was basically completed, but these two labor materials are stored in the absolute gap, the early Han Dynasty Guanzhong people are not rich in materials, and it took a lot of effort to build a Chang'an, but the record of the fastest construction of Chang'an City was broken.

The Son of Heaven, who was far away in the Linguang Palace of Ganquan Mountain, heard the news and returned to Beijing, and the long convoy stopped at the north gate of Chang'an City to meet the prince and the ministers who greeted him.

"Father! What's wrong with you? You need to take good care of your body! Liu Che's eyes were red and very sad, the Son of Heaven was so thin that he almost lost his human shape, his cheeks were sunken, and his skin and bones seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind.

The Son of Heaven stroked his son's thin face and praised: "The crown prince has done a good job in managing the country, and I have heard about it many times in Ganquan Mountain, so I will continue to be a qualified prince of the prison country." ”

Turning his head and seeing that the ministers were black and thin, like old farmers in the countryside, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't been here for half a year, so I have made your ministers suffer!" ”

"陛xià! How did you lose so much weight! The Han family is inseparable from His Majesty! Wei Juan hid his face and sobbed, he was moved by his true feelings, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was the grace of knowing him, and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had the grace of giving him the seal, without the blue eyes of the two emperors, he was still a little-known little person, he was the most true person of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affection for Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

"The owner of the people should take care of his body for the sake of the country."

"Your Majesty, please take care!"

The ministers were gossiping to show their loyalty, and the princes were in the back row of the team and followed the general stream to persuade a few words, and the eyes of the cold Tianzi swept over: "Where is the Marquis of Pingyang?" ”

"The minister is here!"

"Take you as the front driver of the car, and tell me how wonderful your new Chang'an City is!"

"Whoa!"

The Son of Heaven drove slowly forward, and Cao Shi pointed out the street scene in the city from time to time next to the Son of Heaven's Luan, if he didn't point, he was afraid that even the Son of Heaven would not recognize the new Chang'an City.

Soon, the Son of Heaven was completely different from the furnishings in the city, first there were many small gardens and fine streams in the city, which used to be a major problem that plagued the planning of the Beijing Division, but now it has become a landscape in the city.

The load-bearing Lu Li has all become an eight-foot high inner wall, and the green bricks are glued to cement and then painted with lime powder and toner, so that the color of the inner wall is restored to a solemn and solemn black, and the red tall inner door can be seen in the rows of two-story small buildings, and the upper part of the second floor of the small building crosses the height of the inner wall, but it is far away from the inner strength and you can't see the things in the alley.

The car slowly stopped, and the Son of Heaven opened the silk curtain and asked, "This is the Tiaofang system?" ”

Cao Shi rode a horse and arched his waist and explained: "Exactly, Chang'an originally had 19o Luli, between 800 and 1,200 people in each Luli, because the area planned in the early Han Dynasty was very small, so these Luli were crowded and the sanitary conditions were very poor, whenever there was a plague outside the city, it would be infected on a large scale, and the minister would cut and organize the Luli into 8o bars according to the situation, each of which could accommodate 8oo households or more than 3,000 people, and there were flushing public toilets in the bars and toilets in the four corners, and each of them also had a public bath, Household garbage is stored outside the gate of the strip in a wicker basket with a cover, and every morning someone collects the garbage and transports it outside the city to be burned by fire. ”

"And what are flushing public toilets and public baths?"

Liu Che hurriedly said: "The flushing public toilet is an interesting design, a sink is hung on the toilet and the water is filled with water and automatically flushed, the public bathroom is built on the second floor of two pools, respectively filled with hot water and cold water, from the second floor to connect a pottery pipe to inject hot and cold water into the pool below, which can facilitate multiple people to bathe." ”

"It's a good way to make things easier." The Son of Heaven nodded, and the car continued to move towards the city.

The streets are wider and flatter, with two extra rows of sewer pipes on both sides, and low flowers are planted in the corners of the walls along the road, and the beautiful flowers gently sway in the wind, and the beautiful street scenery makes people mistakenly think that they are in the forbidden province of the imperial palace.

There are more and more beautiful two-story buildings, some of which are different in shape and not small in scale, and I learned that there are also three, six, nine and other types of houses, and the rich people in the capital are not qualified to live in the first place to live in the most luxurious two-story houses, and the ordinary residents with lower incomes live in slightly smaller two-story houses.

A shallow smile appeared at the corner of the Son of Heaven's mouth: "On the way back to Beijing, I heard that the prince had done a great thing, and I didn't dare to imagine that one day I would use millions of people to rebuild a new Chang'an, what a great feat!" ”

The will of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to make the people of Guizhou live a good life, looking at the people of Chang'an, every household has lived in a two-story building, needless to say that the cost before and after is only more than 20 billion yuan, even if the investment is twice as much, it is impossible to achieve such an effect.

The cost is low and the efficiency is fast, the people complain less, the project effect is good, and several things are stacked together, and the Son of Heaven can not be happy.

To build the new Chang'an at the smallest cost, as the nominal commander-in-chief of the project, the Son of Heaven will receive a huge amount of civil prestige, and the people of Guanzhong will be extremely excited to see the magnificent new Chang'an City, which is precisely the important reason why the Son of Heaven was moved at the beginning, and sometimes reputation is more important than gold.

Cao Shi rode his horse and stood on Luan's side, and saw the eyes of the Son of Heaven looking at him full of gentle encouragement and appreciation, just like the expression of his father when he looked at his son and nephew with anticipation.

At this moment, the two are more like an ordinary Weng-in-law relationship, and the father-in-law Liu Qi is more satisfied with his son-in-law Cao Shi, and the more he looks at it, the happier he becomes, with a happy smile on his face all the time.

The sensitive ministers felt that the expression of the Son of Heaven was slightly different, and they were shocked to see that the interaction between the Son of Heaven and Cao Shi was becoming more and more frequent, and they could even accompany the Son of Heaven with the prince to tell interesting stories about what they had seen and heard in Chang'an.

The Son of Heaven suddenly changed his character?

The officials were puzzled, and could only blame the new Chang'an for winning the favor of the Son of Heaven, such a great project was completed in less than half a year, even if more than 1.3 million people and people were used, it was enough to see the astonishing high efficiency, and it was not very normal for Cao Shi, the chief designer of the project, to get the favor of the Son of Heaven.

Passing through Jiadi, seeing the tree-lined garden-style three-storey building, the Son of Heaven silently nodded and appreciated it, the house is exquisite and good-looking and does not exceed the system, looking at the entire Jingshi's dwellings only the three-storey small building of the Jiadi District is the highest, and it is still far away from the magnificent palaces of Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace.

The convoy arrived in the south of the city, suddenly turned at the intersection of entering the Weiyang Palace, went straight to the temple outside the original city gate, just out of the city to see the square two diagonal huge stone buildings, the temple is a pure imitation of the building complex, step into the temple hall to see the statue of Emperor Taizu Gao of the golden statue, the Son of Heaven took the ministers to pay respects, and worshiped the brass statue of Emperor Taizongwen, the team left the temple and advanced to the temple.

Standing outside the temple admiring the carvings on the divine plaque, the Son of Heaven suddenly asked, "Taiyi Temple, the stele of these four characters is engraved!" Who mentioned the word? ”

"The font mentioned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a new font created by the minister."

The Son of Heaven smiled slightly: "Self-created again?" Dr. Taizhong seems to be the first person to make utensils in my Han family, and the first person to do calligraphy? ”

"The minister will never dare to claim to be the first person."

"At a young age, you know how to advance and retreat, you know the general situation, you don't take credit, you don't take pride, it's rare." The Son of Heaven threw off his head and tail and walked into the temple.

In the main hall of the temple, several painters are concentrating on the murals on the walls, and there are several delicate pictures on the easels next to them, and they are comparing the pictures and copying them on the walls.

In the center of the main hall, the witches and wizards kneel and pray to the god Taiyi, and in front of it stands the 17-meter-high statue of the god Taiyi, the special architectural style allows the statue to leave enough lighting area on the east and west sides of the statue, and at this moment the god Taiyi is bathed in the golden sunlight and shines.

The Son of Heaven held the wine in his hand and said in a loud voice: "Tai Yishen! I've come to see you! ”

"The Emperor of Heaven pays homage to the Emperor of Heaven!" Wu Xian sang a salute and began to play.

The ministers lifted their robes and bowed down, and the soldiers of the three armies bowed down, which was the highest tribute of the Son of Heaven in the secular world to the lord of the divine realm, and also represented the official recognition of the Thai monotheistic religion by His Majesty, the supreme emperor of the Han Empire.

The guards of the southern army carried the three sacrifices, wine and other sacrifices to the altar, everyone lowered their heads and prayed silently to the gods, Wu Xian looked solemn and expressionless, in the temple he is the servant of the Taiyi God, and will not bow to the worldly son of heaven.

The Son of Heaven stared silently at the statue of Taiyi for a long time, and then left the temple with the procession after repeated salutes.
