Almost everyone present didn't believe Hua Xiong's words.

After all, the place under the current jurisdiction of the imperial court is so large.

How could there be a more suitable place to be the capital than Xu County?

"Xu County is located in the Central Plains, which is convenient for the imperial court to rule."

"There are well-developed land and water transportation, and there are large areas of fertile land for recuperation."

Xun Yu and the others said everything about the advantages of Xu County as the capital.

But Hua Xiong laughed.

"You have all these advantages in one place!"

"I don't believe it, where do you say it?"

Xun Yu said with a skeptical expression.

"The place I'm talking about is the capital city of Luoyang!"

Hua Xiong said word by word.

When his words came out, the court was quiet at first, and then followed Xun Yu and the others to laugh.

"You actually said Luoyang?"

"It's ridiculous."

"Luoyang City is now in ruins."

Guo Jia and Li Ru were also confused.

They thought that Huaxiong would be able to say something good, but they didn't expect to say Luoyang.

After Luoyang was captured by the princes of the Eighteenth Road, it was already in ruins.

How could it be suitable to be used as a capital?

The lord shouldn't have woken up, right?

Cao Cao finally stopped laughing and asked,

"Master, are you kidding us?"

Hua Xiong glanced at him and said lightly,

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

"Luoyang is the capital of my dynasty, if the capital is redetermined, there is no need to say much about the legitimacy."

"As for the transportation and land you are talking about, isn't Luoyang as good as Xu County?"

Xun Yu smiled.

"Master Taishi, of course we know that there is no more suitable place to be the capital than Luoyang. But the question is, can Luoyang still be the capital now? ”

"Why not?"

Hua Xiong asked rhetorically.

"Who doesn't know that Luoyang City is now in ruins? If you want to rebuild, it will be very expensive. This price is something that the imperial court can't afford! ”

Cao Cao said coldly.

His words made all the ministers in the court nod their heads in agreement.

Even Liu Xie nodded approvingly.

The scale of Luoyang City was not established overnight

After Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu set the capital of Luoyang, after nearly two hundred years of development, it formed such a large scale.

In order to restore the original appearance of Luoyang City, it will take a long time and huge manpower and material resources.

Hua Xiong smiled faintly and said softly,

"Then what if I tell you that Luoyang has been rebuilt?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire court was silenced.

"This ...... That's impossible! ”

Xun Yu was the first to shake his head.

"Master Taishi, if you lie, it can be regarded as a crime of deception!"

Shi Sun Rui pretended to be kind to persuade.

Even Li Ru, Guo Jia, Cai Yong, Wang Yun and others felt that Hua Xiong was either bragging or crazy.

This is the world's largest Luoyang City, how can it have been rebuilt?

Only Cao Cao didn't think so.

He suddenly remembered that on the way back to the court from Yanzhou, Gao Shun and the 10,000 soldiers who had mysteriously disappeared.

Could it be ......

"Hehe, am I lying, please Your Majesty and all the ministers, follow me out of the hall and take a look."

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

"Okay, let's all go out. I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Master Taishi! ”

Xun Yu snorted coldly and took the lead in walking out of the ceremony.

Cao Cao's face was solemn, and he walked out of the hall with the crowd.

On the ground outside the main hall, I don't know when a gray wall was erected.

"Huzi, show the ministers how strong this wall is."

Hua Xiong commanded with a smile.

"Yes!"

Huzi beckoned a few of his men to the wall.

They were armed with hammers, and they were hammered against the walls.

But don't look at the wall with only a thin layer, it was in the hands of Huzi and others for a while before it was smashed.

"Guys, do you think this wall is strong?"

Hua Xiong asked with a smile.

"Firm is strong."

Xun Yu said impatiently, "Master Taishi, why did you start to change careers to become a mason?" ”

Hua Xiong was not angry, and said with a chuckle,

"But if I tell you that this wall was built in less than a day, would you believe it?"

"Impossible! This wall is so strong, even comparable to the walls of Chang'an City, how can it be built in a day? ”

Cao Cao immediately objected.

He had personally been involved in the construction of walls and the like, so he knew that it would not take a day or two to build a wall like a strong one.

Not to mention that the quality of this wall built by Huaxiong is far better than that of ordinary city walls.

Hua Xiong smiled lightly, pointed to the pile of gray powder behind the wall, and said with a smile,

"This thing is called lime, and if you add clay and sand to it, supplemented by special red bricks, you can easily build such a solid wall!"

"And lime, red bricks, these things are very easy to get."

"In this way, if you want to rebuild Luoyang City, it will no longer be difficult."

"When the class teacher returned to the court, I had already sent Gao Shun to Luoyang City, and in another month or two, the early reconstruction work could be completed."

After pacifying Yanzhou, Huaxiong considered moving the capital.

So he found the previous blacksmith Ding Shuai.

Ding Shuai is very capable, Hua Xiong just briefly explained the production method of cement and red bricks, and he instantly comprehended it and made cement.

So Huaxiong specially ordered Gao Shun to take 10,000 soldiers and 100,000 people from Yanzhou to rebuild Luoyang City.

With cement and red bricks, and Hua Xiong's earlier invention of the assembly line method, the rebuilding of Luoyang City went well.

Listening to Hua Xiong's words, Cao Cao, Xun Yu and the others took a breath of cool air, their eyes full of shock!

They couldn't have imagined that such an impossible thing as rebuilding Luoyang City would be secretly completed by Hua Xiong!

Jia Xu, Li Ru and others on the side were also surprised.

No wonder when Cao Cao proposed to move the capital, Hua Xiong not only did not object, but also took the initiative to nod and agree.

It turns out that he has already arranged it!

"Now do you think it's better for Xu County or Luoyang?"

Hua Xiong asked with a smile.

Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Yang Zan and others glanced at each other, unable to speak for a long time.

There is no opposition, and Liu Xie listens to Huaxiong's opinion in everything.

Therefore, the matter of moving the capital to Luoyang was quickly decided!

Cao Cao and the others had to pinch their noses and nod in agreement.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Cao Cao and the others gathered in Xunyu's mansion again.

Everyone looked listless.

"Hey, I didn't expect Huaxiong to be prepared and secretly rebuild Luoyang, it's really hateful!"

Xun Yu slammed the table hard, looking quite unwilling.

Cao Cao regrouped his spirits and comforted everyone,

"Don't be discouraged, we still have a chance to win back a city."

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "Mengde, do you have any other way?" Tell us about it. ”
