With Sima Xiangru, Liu Che walked out of the palace gate in Beique, entered Qili from Sima Gate, and then went out of the arsenal from the imperial road, and entered the noisy and lively new Chang'an. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The first thing that came to me was the countless flow of people.

After this transformation, Chang'an City officially formed a pattern of eight streets and nine mo.

There are eight main roads connecting the entire city, and nine traffic avenues leading to various places outside the city

The most famous, of course, is Shangguanli Street.

Shangguanli Street, starting from the arsenal, extends to the east, leading directly to Benmenqiao Avenue and Baqiao Avenue, and connects with Weiqiao.

This street is the widest street among the eight streets in Chang'an.

There are enough three broads, and twelve standard heavy-duty carriages can be paralleled, which is almost comparable to the eight-lane carriages of later generations.

But at this time, even this famous street is crowded.

Even the royal road was crowded with people.

On both sides of the road and among the crowds, those chengguan workers wearing red clothes or red armbands are dutifully busy combing the roads and cleaning up all kinds of garbage.

At the beginning, when the Urban Management Department was just established, it was actually just a yamen.

At that time, Liu Che, who was poor and didn't need discipline at all, instructed Ju Meng, and the establishment of this institution essentially existed to knock on the bamboo pole of the merchants.

Therefore, at the beginning, the entire city management department was all thorns and rangers in Chang'an City, with a face full of flesh, and at first glance they were the kind of wicked people.

But no one could have imagined that in just seven or eight years, this yamen, which was just ripping off bamboo and doing some serious things by the way, has become the largest yamen in the entire Chang'an City, with the most personnel and the most responsibilities.

The total number of employees, temporary workers, and officials under his name is nearly 10,000.

There are more than 3,000 staff members alone!

It's horrible!

But there is no way, Chang'an City is too big, the population is too large, millions of Chang'an people eat and drink Lazar every day, and the domestic garbage left behind cannot be cleaned up in time.

Then, Chang'an City will probably become the Paris of the Middle Ages.

Thanks to the work of the Chengguan Yamen, today's Chang'an will be so neat and clean.

Even the large-scale demolition and construction in the past six months, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of stones, can only be pulled outside the city for burial by relying on the city management and tunnel camps.

"Go to Zhangtai Street......" Liu Che muttered for a moment in the carriage and then gave the order.

Zhangtai Street is one of the eight streets of Chang'an, and it is also a prosperous street second only to Shangguanli Street.

To the north there is the newly completed Tingwei official office and family residences, to the northeast is the newly built Liushi, and the rest is a residential area.

In this reconstruction, seven former slum villages were relocated to the area of Zhangtai Street, in addition, there were three merchant gatherings in the modern era and another dozen civilian villages.

There have been many allusions and stories on this street.

The most famous is the later allusion that 'the pleasure of the boudoir is more than the thrush' took place here.

Comrade Zhang Chang's family residence is on this Zhangtai Street.

But at this time, the status of Zhangtai Street was not as important as that of Emperor Wu.

This can be known from the past, Zhangtai Street was generally a residential area for merchants.

Here, in the past, it was the territory of the rangers and ruffians of Chang'an City, and basically, all the heroes and heroes of the green forest were once mixed here.

After the transformation of Chang'an City, these people were driven out of the territory they occupied, and the commander of Jingfu used a stick to beat these heroes and heroes to cry and call their mothers, and by the way, hundreds of fugitives were arrested and sent to the Great Wall to repair the earth.

However, the power of inertia is still enormous.

Here, there are still a large number of bandits, rangers, and ruffians.

In the past three months, Daojian has impeached some aristocratic officials to Liu Che ten times, acting as a protective umbrella for the rangers and ruffians here, making it difficult for him to govern.

But every time, Liu Che stayed in the middle.

In order to stay in the present day, I will personally deal with these things with the dignity of the Son of Heaven.

Figuratively speaking, Liu Che deliberately wanted to leave a group of monsters to brush up on his experience.

Chang'an's eight streets and nine mos have been replanned and redesigned to be interconnected.

From Shangguanli Street to Zhangtai Street, the road is not far.

At most, it was only more than ten miles, but these more than ten miles took two hours - no way, there were too many people in Chang'an City!

What's more, it's almost time for the exam.

At this time of year, a peculiar examination economy will be born.

Just like the Double Eleven of later generations, whether it is a scholar or not, whether it is a scholar or not, the children of the landlords and powerful businessmen in the entire Guanzhong will gather in Chang'an, vassal elegance, enjoy the flowers and the moon, and by the way, they will be happy.

Up to now, even the Haoqiang children of Luoyang, Suiyang, Xingyang, and Jinyang will come as promised.

Most of them don't plan to participate in the examination at all.

They are all excellent elites who are interested in martial arts.

Now, the class division of the Han family has been reshuffled.

The first class, a student of Wu Yuan, was a high-ranking officer in the field army.

They enjoyed a transcendent political status and the adoration of the common people, the most resources of the family, and the best education.

Only those crooked melons and cracked dates will come to participate in the examination.

After all, the nobles of the scholars are very arrogant.

They instinctively reject their own elites and compete with mud-legged and poor scholars.

Moreover, most people are very proud of their young talents.

Due to the current examination system, there are preferential treatment for nobles, 2,000 stone scholars or eunuchs' homes, and scholars, and they can be given extra points.

Therefore, the real elite of these families are respectful of the examination.

They think - brother needs extra points? You're humiliating brother!

It just so happens that martial arts are the norm in the world, and every family is proud of having a martial artist, even if it is a rich man in the countryside, and he is also proud of having an officer in his family - even if he is a chief.

Therefore, the doctors and nobles of the northern land have changed their tone and turned to martial arts.

The goal of the most elite and best children has always been Wu Yuan!

Even if it is not good, it is necessary to enter the Taixue.

Exam or something, that's a place for defective products and gentlemen to mix a title.

This gave a large number of poor children the opportunity to get ahead and compete fairly - after all, if the elites of the scholar families and nobles also joined the examination feast, then the chances of the poor and the middle and lower class children of this era were too few!

The children of the Hanmen and the lower-class people have already lost 108,000 miles to each other at the starting line.

This is a gap that is difficult to fill with hard work alone.

For example, elites like Ji Di and Yan Yi already hold power in their twenties and have connections in all aspects, even if they don't rely on Liu Che, they can make a long career in their careers.

What do ordinary people compete with?

You are still crawling and rolling at the grassroots level, and people are already sitting in the high hall and claiming to be in this house!

Ordinary people have worked hard all their lives, but it is not much different from the starting point of these people's careers.

Now it's okay, the big nobles, scholars, and doctors don't play with the children of the Han family, and they go to play martial arts by themselves.

The children of the poor family finally have a day to come out and can take a breath.

Although, this makes there are some confrontations and contradictions between the civil and military forces today.

The civil officials, especially the civil officials born in the examination, feel that these martial artists are too arrogant, and there is no one in their eyes, and the proud martial artists boast that they are the proud sons of the sky, the pillars of the country, and the pillars of the society.

But fortunately, this contradiction also exists in the middle and low levels.

When it comes to the high-level, especially at the level of the county guard of 2,000 stones, it is basically a mix of civil and military.

Because the Han family's requirement for 2,000 stones is to be able to govern the army on the horse, and to be able to calm the people when dismounted.

If you can't be both civil and military, don't dream of being a county guard.

But all of this does not prevent young people from taking advantage of the annual examination to come to Chang'an City to play, meet, brag, lift each other, and manage their contacts by the way.

After all, apart from Chang'an, there is no second place in the world that is so prosperous and lively, and where the world's talents can gather.

And all the sons of the hundred schools also think that this opportunity is really wonderful!

There is no better time to promote yourself and fight the enemy.

So at this time of the year, Confucianism, Mo, and Huang Lao fought in various township schools and public places in Chang'an City at this time, preaching scriptures and righteousness, smearing opponents, and doing almost everything.

The gossip party and neutrals are blessed at once.

Countless gossip is flying, and all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky.

From time to time, there are various jokes coming out.

Originally, Chang'an's traffic could carry the flow of millions of people.

But the problem is that at the time of the examination, this transportation system will immediately undergo the most brutal test.

Especially this year!

With the entry of the Kanto Dajia last year, these local tyrants and big dogs took money and smashed the shops in the nine cities of Chang'an.

As a result, even the market outside Chang'an City, such as Zhishi, can sell for 100,000 yuan for 100,000 yuan, with a standard shop that is 30 steps long and 10 steps wide, and is 60 or 70 square meters!

As for prosperous places such as Liushi and Huaishi, the core of Chang'an's economy and finance, it is common for a standard store to be hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Those super-sized shops were even bought at exaggerated prices of millions and tens of millions.

Because of this, the entire Chang'an renovation project, the Han country did not pay a dime, but made a lot of money.

This made the government and the opposition fall into the eyeballs, and also made Shaofuqing Liu She deeply feel that real estate is still good.

So I decided to play outside the racecourse in Maoling and try the water.

However, the merchants paid such a big price.

Naturally, I didn't come to do charity.

They spent tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars to buy shops in the nine cities of Chang'an.

That must want to earn tens of millions or even tens of thousands!

This would not have been possible before.

But now, in Chang'an, it is very likely!

Not to mention, once the examination is held, in March before and after, the entire Chang'an will usher in most of China's powerful children and wealthy families.

The gentlemen spent money like running water, and many people spent hundreds of gold for a pure white fox fur from Anton.

Even the elites of those families, the future pillars, will not be ambiguous in spending money in these months.

When you meet a favorite confidant, send a house, send money, send a slave, or even send a sister, you don't blink your eyes!

As for the princes who have made a fortune in Anton, they will not hesitate to spend money at this moment.

Among these people, the most famous is Wei Qihou Dou Ying, who is now unofficial and light.

Since Dou Ying was dismissed, she seems to have figured it out, she is not a political material, and she simply doesn't want to be an official.

Instead, he began to devote himself wholeheartedly to his ideals.

What is Dou Ying's ideal?

Of course, it is to become the Meng taster of the Han Dynasty!

At this moment, the merchants, scholars, and people were all happy.

Liu Che heard that not long ago, Dou Ying recruited hundreds of diners in one go.

Every day, I take this group of people to drink wine and swallow drinks, big fish and meat, eat people with soft mouths, and take people with short hands, and natural diners also say: Jun Hou Gaoyi, he is really a masterpiece in the world!

And Dou Ying himself is in the midst of flattery and flattery, fluttering like a fairy.

Don't live a small life too comfortably!

The only problem is that the money is like water.

In just one month, Wei Qihou spent all his one-year feudal taxes......

But it doesn't matter.

For Dou Ying, money is like dung, and she can't wait to run to Chang'an Avenue and sing the song "Nothing".

Anyway, what he has is money.

Wei Qihou sealed the country with a tax of several million a year, drizzle!

He is now in Anton's Garn feudal country, and he can contribute a total output of more than 10 million yuan per year, and he also has a reward and subsidy from Changle Palace.

In the last year alone, Liu Che heard that Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Dowager Bo had rewarded more than ten times before and after, and each time the gold reward was not less than 100 gold......

Therefore, Dou Ying is really not bad for money!

In this regard, there are many discussions between the government and the opposition, and it is all Dou Ying who is giving up on himself.

There are even many people who secretly make a small report to Liu Che in private, saying that Dou Ying 'has been resentful of His Majesty for a long time, which is quite disobedient'.

Liu Che was too lazy to care.

Dou baby! Uncle Cousin!

Liu Che knew what this guy was thinking, and he also understood his opinion.

It's true that he is giving up on himself, but when it comes to resenting himself as an emperor, and even wanting to rebel, this is nonsense.

Dou Ying dares to rebel? Empress Dowager Dou couldn't spare him first!

What's more, who else is there around him now, except for the group of guys who follow him every day to eat and drink?

Bushman?

Therefore, no matter what Dou Ying does, Liu Che is very tolerant.

It's good if he's happy!

Moreover, Dou Ying plays like this, but it greatly promotes consumption, increases employment, and reduces social problems.

Those diners under his door, if they didn't have this gold owner, they would inevitably go outside to cheat and even kill people and steal goods.

How nice now!

And thanks to the light of countless nobles including Dou Ying and the gentlemen, a large amount of hot money and gold from Anton quietly entered the market, and in the end, it was sent to Shaofu by the Kanto merchants and became Liu Che's small treasury.

Because, the Kanto merchants, the shops they bought, were all mortgaged and borrowed from Shaofu.

If you make money, of course you have to pay it back.

If you don't pay it back, then the properties you mortgaged will all belong to Liu Che!

And in this way, Shaofu's gold reserves are increasing, and a large amount of five-baht coins are recovered, which is a good thing for the country!
