Chapter 309: A prosperous and busy world
In the past two months at the end of the first year of Chang'an, Yuwen Shihong's mind has been on internal affairs.
But at the same time, Yang Shuang had long been prepared for the second expedition to the Turks, and there were not many forbidden troops in Beijing, only 50,000.
Except for the 50,000 in southern Xinjiang, most of the rest were stationed in the Jiaodong Peninsula.
After the military reduction order was issued, nearly 100,000 conscripts were disbanded on the Jiaodong Peninsula on the spot, and the total number of troops left in Jiaodong was only 150,000.
There are 50,000 troops stationed in Western Xinjiang all year round to deter a number of small countries in Western Xinjiang from disturbing the western Xinjiang of Zhou.
After the news of Zhou's military cuts gradually spread to Qi, Qi, who had always been frightened, also interpreted that Zhou had no more intention of using force, and would abide by the results of the peace talks and go their separate ways with Qi across the Yellow River.
Lu Lingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but the government military system was still more vigorously implemented in various places, so as not to be able to quickly mobilize large-scale militia to deal with it when there was another war.
The peace talks are a victory for Qi Guo, and it is also a victory for Lu Lingxuan-
After all, she talked about it herself.
After living on the streets and feeling the suffering of the world for a period of time, it turned out that it was better to go back to the palace, at least to be well fed and clothed when he returned to the palace.
Mu Tipo, who had long lost the fighting spirit to fight for power, returned to Lu Lingxuan alive, and Lu Lingxuan cried bitterly on the spot, after all, Mu Tipo was her only son.
After returning to the palace, although Mu Tipo had no intention of fighting for power, he was more extravagant than before.
It's like suffering so much that you have to make up for it in extravagant pleasures.
……
Before Yuwen Shihong issued the decree to lay the same track, he first issued an order to open the road -
Encourage people to work together! Concentrate efforts to open up the road between the village and the county.
Open the road for a mile, reward a thousand dollars! Open the road for ten miles, reward ten thousand dollars! And so on!
While encouraging the people to open roads, the water superintendent is also enforcing the road opening order.
It is not only necessary to implement the decree on opening the road, but also to build a Xiema Pavilion every ten miles in accordance with the requirements of the decree.
The area around the Shema Pavilion should also be "cleaned up".
Although the name is Shema Pavilion, Yuwen Shihong knows that with the passage of time, there will also be a situation where people will gather or gather together around Xiema Pavilion.
For example, those who sell tea, cooked dry food, feed and so on.
The Shema Pavilion will also be a key patrol place for local patrols to avoid road hijacking.
In short, no matter how big or small, Yuwen Shihong has considered it, and even more so the implementation of the law in the details.
The construction and casting supervision has already begun to cast the same track, and after the order of the same track is issued, it will be laid on the official roads in the territory.
The territory is getting richer and stronger, and the "consensus imagination" conceived by Yuwen Shihong can be invisibly sprinkled in the hearts of every Dazhou people.
Weak power and emphasis on discipline may be more effective in maintaining stability than the Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and military suppression.
……
On the other hand, Dugu Yongye traveled back and forth between Luozhou and Shangzhou, actively promoting the "exchange" of assets and materials between the two places.
Every time he returned to Luozhou or Shangzhou, he had to take the waterway west to Chang'an, and then change to a horse-drawn carriage to go south to Shangzhou.
Every time he came to Chang'an, he had to walk around the streets, walk around the palace, stay in the palace for the night, and then set off for Shangzhou the next day.
When walking on the waterway, the thousand-mile boat is like a popularization, and every time there is a need to take a boat, you can almost take a thousand-mile boat.
The people didn't know that this was Zu Wenyuan's credit, but he knew.
On this day, it was a transit in Chang'an, and it was customary to enter the palace to stay, and the notice office in the palace announcing the decree of the central government was densely packed with new decrees.
Almost from the Xuanzheng Palace, all the way to the palace gate.
The palace has noticeably been very different from usual these days.
Many officials in Beijing have to come to the Xuanzheng Palace every morning.
In addition, there were also hundreds of people escorted into the palace by the guards outside the palace, following the guards into the Xuanzheng Hall and listening to what the early dynasty was talking about.
Although I don't know how these people were chosen, it's quite strange to look at.
Dugu Yongye is a magistrate of Zhengwupin, and he also has the right to go to the early court, and he is still in the main hall.
However, the court was not compulsory, and the Beijing officials in Beijing did not come every day, at most, they took turns to discuss matters from all over the place, and after the discussion, they could go back and relay the message.
It's not inefficient.
He also went to the early court a few times, but he didn't know it until he went-
The so-called early dynasty is a blushing face and thick neck arguing with each other around controversial decrees.
For example, the reason why Yuwen Shihong postponed paving the same track, but issued an open road order first, was because of the fierce opposition of the courtiers.
Some are worried that it will be paved now, and the spacing between the wheels will still be different in width at that time, which is a waste.
Some are worried that the same track will be laid hastily without precise testing, and there will be large-scale problems at that time, such as what to do if the silt is lost? What to do if the track is displaced due to rain, etc.
Because it sounded reasonable, Yuwen Shihong temporarily postponed the same track order and executed the open road order first.
After the people who listened to the court retreated, they would excitedly return to the streets, and spread what they heard as after-dinner conversations.
Unconsciously, the people's conversations have become domestic affairs, and there is rarely any talk of disputes between countries.
The people can't notice it, but Dugu Yongye can detect this change.
Only when the country is stable and prosperous will the people not be worried about the presence of other countries around them.
Very good, very good.
After making up for the excitement of the early dynasty, Dugu Yongye decided to visit Zu Wenyuan and then return to Shangzhou to perform his duties.
As a result, when Zu Wenyuan was found, Zu Wenyuan took a large group of young students with him, almost submerged in a large pile of wooden or iron bars.
Standing in the corner and watching for a while, Zu Wenyuan didn't notice him.
Zu Wenyuan was testing according to the courtiers' objections to the same track, and after checking the wooden wheeled car in the courtyard to make sure that it was correct, he led a large group of students to the Wei River.
Taking the slightly sandy ground by the Wei River as the test site, it simulates how to ensure that the same track can still be stably opened to traffic when it encounters sandy land.
saw that Zu Wenyuan carried the wooden wheeled cart to the Wei River with a group of students without a frame.
The rest of the students tacitly agreed to bring out the same track, with corresponding spacing, on the slightly sandy ground.
When the three wheels of the tricycle hit the ground, they snapped into the grooves of the alloy rails.
With Zu Wenyuan's feet, the tricycle rode out quickly, until it was more than ten zhang away at the end of the same track.
However, instead of being fast and excited, they all frowned and chatted with each other.
Dugu Yongye, who was standing from a distance and watching all this, was directly stunned!
Zu Wenyuan's forward speed was as fast as if he had flown out.
Dugu Yongye, who saw this scene for the first time, was full of shock!
You must know that the reason why you have to detour Chang'an from Luozhou to Shangzhou is because the waterway is faster!
If the same track is also laid between Shangzhou and Los Angeles, then the travel distance will be directly reduced by more than half!
It is equivalent to the distance from Luozhou to Chang'an!
Between Luozhou and Shangzhou, it is relatively located due north and south!
It's on the same track! It must be passed through Los Angeles and Upper State first!
