Chapter 212: Moving the Palace to the North
With the economic development of Liangzhou, limited by regional resources, Li Huai is no longer suitable for living in Jiuyuan.
Kuhara County is too small.
He had two choices, either go to the clouds or go to the Northlands.
Yunzhong is the main road to the Central Plains, there are many merchants coming and going, and it is also close to the Great Wall and Taiyuan.
Beidi is the core area of Liangzhou's development, and the newly opened factories in Liangzhou are basically in Beidi, and the future development will definitely revolve around Beidi.
Although Beidi County was allocated a part to Longxi County, it was still the largest county in Liangzhou.
Moreover, the northern part of the country is in Hanoi, and the caravan can travel between Guanzhong and Liangzhou smoothly, and the west end is connected to the Hexi Corridor.
Most importantly, the climate in Hokkaichi County is more suitable than that of Kuhara and Yunzhong, which is more suitable for animal husbandry and agricultural operations.
Northland also has the largest population in Liangzhou, and there are still large areas of fertile wasteland to be developed.
And one more reason.
Li Huai can't always occupy the Jiuyuan Taishou Mansion, because he and Shangguan are here, and Lu Youqi, the Taishou, has almost become a miscellaneous man.
Lu Youqi was already cautious, no matter what he did, he had to consult Li Huai or Shangguan first.
The officials below Jiuyuan didn't go to find Lu Youqi, and directly presented the fold to Li Huai's study.
However, Li Huai spent far more money than the budget to form the Liang army, and it did not mean that there was no money to build the Liang Palace.
It's just a little tight.
Finally, there was the issue of site selection, Li Huai first gave up the main city of Beidi County, Yiqu, which was too stable.
A comfortable environment can easily make people lose their sense of crisis.
The Lion City, the Silver City, and the Wu City are all on the west side of the Northland and the east side of Helan Mountain.
It is also not suitable for building a Liang Palace.
Because it is too close to the border, Li Huai is not afraid of danger, but the people below are afraid that he is in danger, so it is necessary to station several battalions of troops for a long time to defend the palace of King Liang.
What a waste!
However, apart from these four cities, there is no suitable city in the north, so you can't move to Longxi County.
In the end, Li Huaipai decided to take the case.
"The Liangwang Palace is not located in the city, but is built in the wasteland, which can also save the cost of land."
The area of the Liangwang Palace is definitely not small, no matter which city it is located in, some of the houses must be demolished.
If it's built in an uninhabited place, then there is no such problem.
"Lord, the daily needs of the palace have to be purchased from the people, and if there is no market around, then the entire palace must be self-sufficient." Shangguan Coco reminded.
She knew that Li Huai was hot-headed again.
Gotta find a way to hold him down.
Li Huai smiled, he had already thought of a way, "Then let the scholars of Liangzhou move with this king." ”
“……”
Shangguan Coco was shocked.
Although it is said that King Liang moved to the palace, he must bring a group of scholars and merchants, but they are all brought to the city.
Li Huai was completely reversed, he wanted to take the scholars and merchants in the city to the wasteland and settle down again.
After the migration of scholars and merchants, do you have to move at least 30,000 families and settle around?
In this way, you can ensure your daily needs.
"Lord Wang, do you want to build a new city?" Shangguan Keke asked.
The cost of building a new city is much larger than going to the city to demolish a piece of land, and it can't be compared at all.
It's out of budget again!
Li Huai was really not hot-headed, he took out a book of people and pointed it out to Shangguan, "There are 370,000 households in Beidi County, Yiqu, Shicheng, Yincheng, Wucheng, four cities, which can accommodate 50,000 households. ”
"It's normal, not all people live in the city, and the vast majority of them are farmers engaged in agricultural activities." Shangguan Keke didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
The ratio of 320,000 rural households is more than 50,000 households registered in urban areas, which is very normal, or even high.
"The key is that the population of the four cities is less than 20,000 households, and 10,000 households are in Yiqu." Li Huai pointed out the key points to her.
Shangguan Keke raised his eyebrows, "Doesn't that mean that the Lion City, Silver City, and Wucheng are all more than half empty, and they can't live in a good city, so why do they have to live in the countryside?" ”
"Why don't you let me live in the Lion City or the Silver City?" Li Huai asked rhetorically.
Shangguan Keke subconsciously replied: "That's because the west is the Western Regions, and if you live anywhere, you need at least three battalions of troops...... Protect you. ”
Her pupils shrank, and she suddenly understood, now that the atmosphere in Liangzhou and the Western Regions is so tense, who dares to put their home on the border?
They didn't want to live in the three cities in the west, because they were afraid that one day the Western Regions would come and burn down the cities, and their family business would be gone.
"If they can live in the countryside in peace, and the king doesn't like to bother with them, look at the houses they have built."
Li Huai took out a picture, which was scribbled, which was drawn by Yue Qianqian herself, and then secretly sent it over.
Although it is sloppy, the basic structure can be seen clearly.
This is a mansion, this is clearly a Wu Fort!
Yue Qianqian also sent a letter with her, because she and Li Huai couldn't explain the relationship, these Wu Bao hosts would give her an invitation letter when they invited guests.
She went inside, and according to what she saw, there were not only a large number of guards in the castle, but also a hidden arrow tower.
There are even turrets, but there are no cannons.
"I showed this to Uncle Qi, what do you guess Uncle Qi said?"
"Uncle Qi...... What did the general say? ”
"Uncle Qi said that if there is enough food in Wu Fort, if you want to capture such a Wu Fort, you need at least one battalion, and it must be equipped with more than ten cannons, and the casualties are expected to be no less than 1,000 in the strong attack."
“……”
Shangguan Keke was dumbfounded after hearing this, she thought for a while, "This should be what they used to prevent Rongdi in the Western Regions." ”
Li Huai sneered, "Lao Tzu doesn't care who they are used to defend against, anyway, in my Liangzhou, there is no such Wu Fort!" ”
A list was thrown out.
The people on this list are all scholars who have already built Wu Fort, or are planning to build Wu Fort, and some of them need to bring people around them.
"The city can not be built, and the Liang Wang Palace can also be slowed down first, and invite them out of the king's shell first, otherwise...... Regarded as a rebellion! Li Huai said resolutely, this matter is beyond doubt.
Shangguan Keke understood what he meant, he wanted to use the excuse of migration to beat these people up.
Don't build a city for the time being, and suspend the Liang Palace.
This can really save costs.
However......
"And where are we staying?" Shangguan Keke asked.
Li Huai grinned and said shyly, "Didn't we just have an army?" Let me take you to experience life in the barracks. ”
Shangguan Keke's brows darkened, "You want to live in the barracks with you!" ”
It's noisy, it's nothing, it's full of men, and it's a very noisy barracks, it's not that she's delicate.
It really made her feel uncomfortable.
"The Liangwang Palace is completed, you are the first to pick a yard, and even you can design the yard yourself, what you want, I will build it for you." Li Huai Xu Ruo said.
In the past two years, he has indeed wronged her, and he has always wronged her, and now he wants her to live in the barracks with him.
Li Huai couldn't help it, and after thinking about it, he said: "Why don't you live in Yiqu first, and when the Liangwang Palace is built, I will personally go and bring you back." ”
That would take at least a year.
Shangguan Keke's eyes were red, and he didn't know if it was because of grievances or other reasons, so he hugged him.
"Where the prince goes, where the concubines go, it's just that I owe you in my last life, and I pay off the debts of the previous life."
Li Huai was quite moved and hugged her back, a good wife is like this, why worry about the great cause!
A few days later.
Li Huai issued an edict to move the palace to the north, and those who were on the list came within three months, and those who did not arrive were deemed to have disobeyed the king's orders.
The day after the edict was issued, Li Huai's line left Jiuyuan and headed for the north, and there were people on the way to see them off.
Although Li Huai does not often go to the grassroots level, after he arrived in Jiuyuan, the changes that have taken place in Jiuyuan can be seen by the people.
The aristocracy did not dare to rely on power to bully the people, and the officials did not dare not do things for the people, and the law and order were prosperous, and there was hope for life.
Looking back now, when King Liang didn't come, that kind of life was simply not a human being, even a beast!
When Yue Qianqian heard the news, she hurriedly took out the map and found the location where Li Huai was going to settle.
It is very close to the Lion City, about thirty miles east of the Lion City.
She had an inexplicable familiarity with it.
"Isn't this the first time I've met him?" Yue Qianqian still remembers that there is a thousand-year-old tree there.
I don't know what to think of, and suddenly blushed.
Soon after Li Huai arrived in Beidi County, he stationed a military camp and did not garrison other troops.
Around the thousand-year-old tree, there were 3,000 White Horse Rebels, all of whom were his personal guards.
Yang Dong is here, with a team of adjutants!
