Chapter 593: Luoyang, the Divine Capital
Along the Yellow River all the way to the west, passing by several cities, although some repairs, but still dilapidated, even Xingyang City, close to Luoyang, is still in ruins. It wasn't until I entered the Luo River valley and continued to move west along the Luo River that I finally saw large areas of farmland, and occasionally some soldiers in military uniforms drove cattle to sow seeds in the fields.
These people are soldiers, soldiers who belong to the military cantonments, the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, this time to move the capital to Luoyang, of course, not to wait for a large number of people to come before they really start to open up the wasteland and farm, if this is the case, the tens of millions of people, the first year can be completely dependent on other places to transport grain, such a logistical pressure is too great.
Therefore, as early as the beginning of spring last year, Li Yunfei dispatched more than 100,000 troops to implement the policy of military cantonment near Luoyang, and more than 100,000 people were divided into nearly 100 military cantonment points, and canals were opened to bring in the water of the Luohe River.
This spring's wheat harvest alone is as high as more than 8 million stones, and with the surplus grain from last year's military cantonment, Luoyang City has now hoarded 17 million stone of grain, which is enough to supply one million people for more than a year, and it is precisely with this confidence that Li Yunfei dared to take hundreds of thousands of people to move the capital to Luoyang.
As one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, Luoyang has been the core area of Chinese civilization since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. For example, this time the capital of Luoyang, on the basis of the original Luoyang City expanded more than times, the first time the ministers saw Li Yunfei's design blueprint, they were shocked by the endless majestic city for a long time speechless, involuntarily called out the title of the divine capital.
So now Luoyang is also called the capital of God, Luoyang City is located between the Luohe River and the Yi River, the newly expanded Luoyang City, but it extends to the east, the confluence of the Luohe River and the Yi River, and then extends to the west, because Luoyang City is in the plain area between the two big rivers, so the average width of the city is only 5 kilometers, but the east-west direction is very long, the farthest distance is 26 kilometers, so the area of the city is very huge.
The reason why the new city dared to do this was to make clever use of the two rivers to greatly reduce the pressure on the construction of the city wall, and it was said that Li Yunfei's idea was that the new imperial capital did not need the city wall at all, but after those adults heard about it, they wrote to petition, and the people also petitioned, hoping to live in a big city with a city wall.
As a Ming Jun, of course, he is as good as a stream, so he took advantage of the three directions of the southeast and north, with the help of the natural defense type of the two rivers, widened and heightened on the basis of the original embankment, and built a building more than ten meters wide similar to the ring road.
With the difference of more than 20 meters outside the embankment, and the hundreds of meters wide river, the defense function is actually much stronger than the city wall, and it can also be used for transportation in peacetime.
The city wall that really needs to be built only needs to build a city wall about five kilometers long on the west side, which can easily encircle a vast area of more than 100 square kilometers.
Of course, such a large-scale city is not seen within a year by relying on more than 100,000 people, in fact, the hundreds of thousands of construction troops just repaired the houses in the old city, and the newly expanded place only built some drainage and water supply and transportation infrastructure, and then left a piece of vacant land of different sizes, just like the first Lujiang City, directly sold the homestead, so that people can freely use their imagination to build their favorite houses.
The total area of the city is as high as one hundred and twenty-five square kilometers, which is definitely the largest in the world in this era, nearly four times larger than the huge Chang'an City, if those homesteads are completely sold, in principle, it is enough to live more than three million people, of course, the population is so small now, it will take several years to completely fill this huge god!
……
Since entering the Luohe River Basin, Zhen Mi has been looking at the scenery outside by the car window, not far away is the Luohe River, and she is a little fascinated, of course, Li Yunfei is also a little fascinated by her. I have to say that a beauty, no matter what she does, is very charming, even if she just looks out the window in a daze, she still looks very charming.
“…… Zhen Meiren, does it feel very cordial when you see Luohe? Li Yunfei finally leaned over and said something without words.
"Why does Your Majesty ask? The concubine has never been here before. ”
"Then why do you see so fascinated?"
“…… The concubine body is a little strange, how did Your Majesty say that the concubine became the goddess of Luohe? ”
"Uh, did I say that?"
"Yes, His Majesty came back drunk at that time, and said it with his concubine in his arms!"
"When was that, what did I say at the time...... I'm so impressed! ”
"At that time, I was still in Beiping, my majesty drank a lot of wine that night, and when I came back, I was a little confused, and I was very happy when I saw the concubine greeting her, and I helped the concubine behind him, and said: Pop with the legendary goddess of Luohe, it feels officially too cool......" Zhen Mi said in Li Yunfei's tone.
"Well, this, it's really drunk and spitting the truth...... It's really cool to snap with you! ”
“…… What does Your Majesty mean by that snap? Zhen Mi has always had some doubts about this, at that time she thought that Li Yunfei was going to beat her, so frightened that she quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty, but she didn't expect Li Yunfei to carry her to the bed all of a sudden......
"This ...... Beauty, we've been doing sports together so many times, have you ever heard this popping sound? As he spoke, he deliberately hit her ass a few times.
“…… Your Majesty, you are so bad. When he finally figured out what he meant, his face turned red.
"Beauty, you're just a naked seduction, why don't we snap it again?" Seeing her blushing face, I really loved it indescribably, so I thought about it when I hugged people and rubbed around.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must pay attention to moderation, it's really not good for your health to always be like this, you only played with Xiao Qiao in the middle of the night last night......" Zhen Mi refused for the first time, as long as Li Yunfei opened her mouth, she would do whatever she was told to do.
"Ah, how do you know?"
"The concubine has insomnia at homework, and I heard it in the middle of the night, and it came from the carriage of that big and small Joe, and the sound of snapping!"
"Uh, okay!"
"Your Majesty, tell the concubine why you want to call the concubine Luohe Goddess, the concubine is really curious, Your Majesty, you can tell the concubine about it?" I was afraid that Li Yunfei would be unhappy because of his refusal, so he asked for advice in a low voice.
“…… This has to start from ancient times a long time ago, the story is so long! ”
"The concubine likes to listen to His Majesty's stories the most, Your Majesty will tell the concubine quickly."
"It is said that in ancient times, Fuxi and Nuwa had a daughter named Concubine Mi, because she was fascinated by the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Luo River, she came to the world and came to the bank of the Luo River...... "Li Yunfei directly told a mythical story, anyway, it's a story, just add some wonderful energy to yourself, at this time, people tell stories, generally only a few words, but Li Yunfei is born with a good idea, and he was stunned to turn a small story into a serial, and it took more than an hour to barely finish it.
"Your Majesty thinks that the concubine's last life was Concubine Mi?"
"Well, yes!"
“…… Your Majesty, since Concubine Mi is married to Hebo, why do you want to get along with Hou Yi? ”
"Didn't it be robbed, how can this be counted?"
"The concubine thinks that since they are all together, it is better to serve their husband well, just like His Majesty 'robbed' the concubine in the first place......"
"Uh, I was wrong, I apologize, I should have asked for your permission in the first place!"
"No, no, the concubine really didn't mean to complain about His Majesty......" Zhen Mi hurriedly explained, but at this time, there were cheers outside, and the divine capital Luoyang was about to arrive, and people had already seen a landmark building in the city.
