Hearing this, Shui Xiu turned his head to look at Yang Fu and asked, "What does Yishan think he should be?"

Yang Fu replied: "First set up a sluice gate at the entrance of the city, which can block the water from entering along the river. The river channel of Chang'an City is connected to the Yanshui and water elimination places in the southeast of the city, and these two rivers are also connected to the Wei River, so that the water of Chang'an can be re-flowed back to Weishui. And if the enemy decides to flood Chang'an, the geography of Chang'an will not be like the water of the Huaiyin Marquis flooding the ruin hill when Chu and Han were fighting, and the whole city can be submerged. However, the amount of water will also increase, in this case, the river may not be able to dredge in time, Zhuo thought that the main public can dig a lake in the southeast of Chang'an City, in order to regulate the amount of water, if the amount of water is too much, the gate can be opened into the lake, if the rainwater is not enough to make the river too shallow, the gate can also be opened to lead the water that is usually stored from the lake, in order to fill the Chang'an River. ”

Open the lake to regulate the water volume of the city, when the tide is high, the water is abundant, then the water can be diverted into the lake, and when the water is too small, the lake can be opened and released to increase the water volume of the river in the city, which is the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors.

Zhang Xiu heard it and said with a smile: "Great goodness! ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, it can indeed reduce the risk of Chang'an City being flooded." The water system in the city is like this, and it is enough. ”

Zhang Xiu immediately removed the brush from the pen holder. Then I took a piece of paper and drew on it. Not long, Mao Jingji everyone just said, a square city and two rivers on the left and right sides of the city outside the city lead from the north to Weishui and then connect the southeast of Shanghai and the widow water, the southeast corner of the city also drew a circle, marked under the lake that Yang Zhuo said.

Later, Zhang Xiu also drew the city wall of the outer city and the moat outside the city wall, because the four rivers in the city are from north to south, after leaving the city, the moat is directly communicated and then connected to the lake in the southeast of the city and the southeast is connected to the Shanghai water and Bashui, so the four rivers in the city are straight and neat to divide the new Chang'an outer city into five parts, of which the middle inner city part is the largest.

By this time the people had gathered around them. Fa Zheng saw the drawings, pointed to the two rivers closest to the inner city and said: "The four rivers are only connected to the moat outside the city, which is too inconvenient, and it is necessary to communicate in the city. And these two rivers are close to the inner city. He also dug a moat under the inner city wall to divert the water of these two rivers into it, which could not only connect the two rivers, but also strengthen the defense of the inner city. ”

Everyone thought about it and praised in unison: "Reasonable." At this time, Zhong Guess had already taken the pen from Zhang Xiu's hand and drew it on the paper, connecting the river near the inner city, and the north and south of the inner city were connected by digging a river. Yang Fu saw it and said: "It is enough to have these two rivers connected, and the outer two do not need to be connected in the city, if the rivers are all connected, if the enemy army breaks through the outer city, it can go straight to the inner city along the river, which is not beautiful." Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this.

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Although the river is convenient, it must not be without a street. Since the inner city is the center of the new Chang'an City, a street should be built running through the north and south of Chang'an, and this street is the central axis. There are four rivers running through the north and south of the city, and there are also avenues running through the north and south inside and outside the river, so that there should be two main streets running through the north and south on the east and west sides. The addition of five main streets and four rivers is the road connecting the north and south of Chang'an City. The streets and alleys that run through the east and west are also like the north and south, and there are also nine streets, so it is determined to be the pattern of the new Chang'an City. ”

After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "In the new Chang'an City, Xiu thought that the Chang'an School Palace and the imperial examination were all located in the north of the city, and on both sides were Mengxue, book sellers and the four treasures of the study. The east of the city is the official residence of the civil officials, and the west of the city is the official residence of the military attaché. The south of the city is dominated by fangs, and there are markets on the east and west sides, and the city is a place for large merchants to trade and sell, and small traders can sell along the fang. The Mansion of the General of the Fat Cavalry, the Jingzhao Yin Mansion and other mansions are all in the inner city, of which the Jingzhao Yin Mansion is on the edge of the inner city, which is convenient for the people to report to the officials. ”

When Zhong Mei heard this, she exclaimed: Can small traders sell along the square? As a result, the south of the city will be chaotic and difficult to manage. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this and said with a smile: "If you are only allowed to sell in the city, no matter how big the city is, it will not be able to accommodate all the big and small traders." If the trade route to the Great Qin Kingdom is opened in the future. Chang'an is the most important place, to accommodate merchants from all over the world only two cities may not be enough, even if the city can accommodate merchants from all over the world, then Chang'an's small traders have nowhere to do business, so it is not impossible for them to live. The fang and the city were opened, although it was inconvenient for the government to manage. But the people inside and outside Chang'an City can sell in the market. In this way, even if they have no land at home. But if you can buy and sell, you won't starve to death. ”

As a traveler, Zhang Xiu knows the process of history, and the boundary between the fang and the city must be broken sooner or later, and the history was delayed for nearly a thousand years until the Song Dynasty. Although the population of the late Han Dynasty was not as good as that of the Song Dynasty, if Zhang Xiu broke the boundary between the square and the city, even if it was an ordinary person, he could put trade exhibitions everywhere in the shop.

In fact, there is another reason for doing this. Throughout the history of China, it can be seen that in the last period of a dynasty, a large number of people without agricultural land must have starved to death, and these people without agricultural land will eventually revolt. The most fundamental reason for this is the increase in population and the annexation of land.

When a dynasty was first established, the population was small. The people were basically able to get the land, but the more it spread, the more the population increased, and the less land was divided. Before the Tang Dynasty, the fields belonged to the family, and after the Tang Dynasty, the fields belonged to the scholars and their descendants who could successfully obtain fame. This is the land annexation that Zhang Xiu said before, which is one of the reasons for the rise and fall of dynasties.

However, among so many dynasties, there is only one exception, and that is the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was a merchant and trader. Those who had no land at home would go to work in the city. to earn an income. In this way, the landless people will not starve to death like other dynasties, so the uprising of the people in the Song Dynasty is the least, and the reason is not that they can't survive, of course, the Song Dynasty has the most idle people.

Zhang Xiu knew that land annexation was unavoidable, even if he traveled through the era in which he lived before, and since it could not be avoided, he had to think of a way to make the landless peasants survive.

Undoubtedly, the only way out is to do business, especially with foreign countries.

According to Zhang Xiu's calculations, as long as the trade route to Rome is reopened, the business will definitely blow out in the short term, and it will take some time to open up the trade route to Rome. At that time, the trade route was opened, and the big merchants from all over the country gathered in Chang'an, and the boundary between the fang and the city was also opened, and the big merchants drove "small traders inside and outside Seoul and even all over Guanzhong to sell in the stronghold of Chang'an City." Add three corrections to dig through. The transportation extends in all directions, which can definitely make Chang'an prosperous and more prosperous than the Han Dynasty, and can be comparable to the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty in history.

Chang'an, Luoyang and Wancheng three Han center city first exhibition, which can drive the trade of all parts of the country, then the trade exhibition deeply into the hearts of the people, then with the exhibition of the times, the land annexation is becoming more and more serious when the ordinary people do not have a way to live and starve to death, this is an important way to make the country can continue for a long time, of course, not only this, there are other more places, such as the rule of officials, etc., these are Zhang Xiu from the gains and losses of the previous dynasties summed up.

The breaking of the boundary between the fang and the city has indeed made the governance of the government a lot more troublesome, Zhang Xiu looked at Zhong Xuan's bitter face, and said with a smile: "Yuan Chang, then you only need to set up rules, if someone violates it, it is not allowed to sell in Chang'an again." As long as the rules are set and followed, there will not be too much trouble in governing there. The boundaries between the square and the city were broken. but it is for the benefit of the people

Zhong La smiled bitterly and said, "I don't understand."

Zhang Xiu looked around at everyone and asked, "Do you still have any objections to the design of Chang'an City?" Everyone shook their heads, this city gathers the wisdom of everyone, and many places are proposed by Zhang Xiu, a traverser, whether it is the ability to defend the emperor or commerce, transportation, and layout planning, it is definitely better than all the cities in the Han Dynasty now.

Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "In this case, the expansion of Chang'an City cannot be delayed, so Huangguan and Luoyang City are still a little short and have not yet been completed. Those soldiers are also difficult to draw, so they will be prepared to recruit reinforcements, build new walls and dig rivers together, what do you think? ”

Zhong Lian heard this, frowned, and said: "The expansion of Chang'an City is huge, I don't know how much floating service the lord is going to levy, and the army also has to recruit soldiers, but I am afraid that the youth and strength will not be enough." ”

Zhang Xiumo calculated for a moment and said: "This general is going to levy 120,000 successors this time, divided into two batches. 20,000 yuan per batch, rotated after two months of work. What does Yuan Chang think? ”

Sili has experienced many wars and has a small population. It is only about two million, and when it comes to Nanyang, after several years of great governance, the population has exceeded two million, which is more than one state in Zhili. The levy of 120,000 Yao is actually quite a lot, but the work is only two months. Then the rotation lasts for a year, that is, each person works for half a year, which is not too heavy. And Zhang Xiu has not been a large-scale conscription, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment for several years, Zhang Xiu's levy at this time will not arouse the anger of the people, compared to the princes of the Kanto, Zhang Xiu can be regarded as a benevolent lord. Which of the Kwantung princes Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao. There was no large-scale conscription, Cao Cao expanded Xuchang and built the palace for a few months, and how many of the people buried their bones in Xuchang City. Not to mention Yuan Shu, there are many military and succession, and the people are miserable. And under Zhang Xiu's command, in addition to being fed, he also had a military salary to take, which was comparable to other princes, and this level of succession would naturally not arouse public anger.

Zhong Xuan heard this, nodded and said, "It should be fine." However, in this way, Chang'an City may not be able to be built in a short time

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Now there is no big war, so let the soldiers also participate in the construction of the city." The rocks were mined from the Qinling Mountains in the south, and the rolling wood was used as the road on the way, and the rocks were pulled along the road paved with rolling wood to Chang'an City. The soldiers and young men were the main people here, and the rest of the people were responsible for building the city and digging the river. The southern wall was built first, and when the winter came, the Weishui water was introduced into the river, so that the river would freeze, and the rocks could be transported along the ice road to the other three sides. In addition, after the completion of Huangguan and Luoyang, next year's conquest of Han Sui and the Qiang people should have a pawn. Then find these soldiers to build a city, and so it will be counted. In about two to three years, the expansion of Chang'an will be completed. ”

Zhong La heard it and said with a smile: "I see that the lord is still quite sympathetic to the people, they basically do some relatively simple work, and the heavy work is done by soldiers and soldiers."

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, and said: "Let the soldiers come and practice their physical strength, Huangguan and Luoyang will be completed, and as soon as those soldiers arrive, our soldiers will go back to practice." Moreover, Meng Qi is now conquering the Di and Rong tribes in Longxi. Ben will let him try to subdue these Hu people. When everyone heard this, they said in unison, "The Lord is wise." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "Well, Zixiu Yan Tuanzi, you were once in charge of the expansion of Nanzheng City, and there are many affairs in Yuanchang, so you are directly responsible for the expansion of Chang'an City." ”

Yan Pu heard it, and thought he had heard it wrong. The expansion of Chang'an City is extremely important, and Zhang Xiu actually handed over this trust to him such a demote, which really surprised Yan Pu. After being stunned for a moment, Yan Pu reacted under Zhong Xuan's reminder. He bowed his hand and said, "The garden will live up to the trust of the lord."

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Hmm." After the expansion of Chang'an is completed, the inner city will become the seat of the government and yamen, and the people will no longer be allowed to live. It turned out that the people living in the inner city had to move to the outer city of Chang'an, and this was arranged by Yuan Chang to explain to the people in the inner city. Try to put these people in a better place

Zhong La memorized them one by one after hearing them.

Zhang Xiu paused for a moment and continued: "How can the expansion of Chang'an just be the general who will pay money and grain and levy the successors. Inform the big merchants and families who are now doing business in Chang'an City, they should know what to do. As if Bohou rebuilt Luoyang City, the merchants or families who donated a lot would be with him in the future Chang'an City, and those who contributed the most would scrape a piece of land in the expanded Chang'an City to let him build a mansion, as for how to measure, Yuan Chang was responsible. ”

Turning his gaze to Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu said: "If it is those merchants and families who have not contributed capital, they will be severely suppressed by Benjiang, and they will not contribute to the expansion of Chang'an, and they still want to do business in Chang'an." Hmph, Wen He is responsible for this matter. ”

Zhong La and Jia Xu heard it, and responded at the same time: "No! ”

In the end, Zhang Xiu patted his head and said: "By the way, don't leak the matter of breaking the boundary between the fang and the city for the time being, this matter is very important." The news will be announced only after the expansion of Chang'an. In addition, the new Chang'an School Palace can also be built at the same time, and the construction of the city is responsible for Yuan Chang. ”

Seeing Zhong Xuan's darkening face, Zhang Xiu knew that there were too few officers under his command, and the military attache was fine, and now the number of adjutant generals began to increase. But the civil official side has always been Zhang Xiu's weakness, although there are just more Zhuge Jin and Yang Fu. But as the territory expanded, it began to be insufficient again. Moreover, Chang'an has to be expanded, and many places have to use people, and Zhang Xiu is lamenting that there is no one available.
