Wang Luo came to Luoyang, the capital of his loyalty.

The relocation of the capital to Luoyang has improved the control of the Great Cadres over the north. After Daqian defeated the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu did not dare to go south again in recent years, and the northern border also settled down.

And in the year when Wang Luo moved the capital to Luoyang, Wang Cheng, who was on an expedition to Lingnan, also sent envoys to congratulate, and by the way, he sent more than a dozen kings of the Baiyue Yue Fang Kingdom to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, to celebrate.

Wang Cheng marched south for several years, and finally defeated the last Baiyue Fang State not long ago and captured its monarch. Then he collected a batch of cherished specialties from the land of Baiyue as a tribute, and sent them over with those kings of Baiyue.

The land of Baiyue is rich in ivory rhino horn spices, which are all good things. There are even tamed elephants, and when Wang Cheng attacked Baiyue Fangguo, he encountered these barbarian and tame elephant armies.

The elephants were two meters tall, like a small mountain, and they were unstoppable in their charge. When Wang Cheng encountered it for the first time, he suffered a big loss, and the servant army was defeated by those elephant troops. Even the vine armor army under his command was also discolored, so he had to gather the defeated army and retreat.

Fortunately, he knew that animals were afraid of fire, and when he encountered the elephant army again in the second battle, he attacked the elephant army with rockets, and the elephant army panicked, turned around and fled, and as a result, the Baiyue army behind him was directly crushed.

A large number of barbarian soldiers were trampled to death and injured by elephants, and the barbarian army had no decent organization, not to mention tens of thousands of troops composed of more than a dozen tribes, in this case, it was easily overwhelmed, and Wang Cheng saw the opportunity to immediately lead the army to attack, and as a result, he defeated the Baiyue Fang State in a battle and captured its monarch.

Except for a few elephants that died, the rest of the elephant army fell into the hands of Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng is very interested in these elephants, after all, these elephants are huge, if they are equipped with armor, they are simply invincible on the battlefield, even if the rattan armor army forms a battle formation, they can't bear it, and if you step on it, even if you wear a few layers of iron armor, you will directly step on it into a pulp.

But after carefully understanding the elephant army, Wang Cheng dispelled this idea, but this elephant army is just a spectacle.

Elephants are afraid of flames, they are afraid of loud noises, and because they are very smart, they are reluctant to storm the military formation, although they have been trained to resist loud noises, but they still cannot change their fear of fire.

The most important thing is that elephants are too good to eat, they can eat 500 catties of food a day, which requires dozens of heads, and the army's grain and grass can't hold it at all. With so many shortcomings, Wang Cheng could only give up the idea of forming an elephant army.

However, these elephants are still very good as honor guards, tall and mighty, and uninformed people will definitely be frightened when they see them for the first time. So Wang Cheng collected eighteen war elephants in the land of Nanyue, and sent them to Luoyang together with the animal tamer and the war elephant master.

There are usually three people on a war elephant, one is a war elephant, one is holding a bow and arrow, and the other is holding a spear, which is still very bluffing.

Wang Cheng informed Wang Luo of the situation of the war elephant in advance. Wang Luo immediately decided to put these war elephants into the honor guard.

After moving the capital to Luoyang, when the first great court meeting opened, eighteen war elephants appeared together, and the envoys of the barbarian countries from all over the world who came to congratulate them immediately trembled, and even the ministers of the court and the central government were shocked.

The scene of the eighteen war elephants marching in a row is like the advance of the city wall, and the running is like a landslide. The barbarian countries that came to celebrate became more and more deferential to the great cadres.

Wang Luo is also very fond of these war elephants, and as an honor guard, he has no other shortcomings except for eating more.

After conquering Lingnan, Wang Luo set up Guilin County and Xiang County in Lingnan, and then gave Panyu to Wang Cheng, who named Wang Cheng as the king of Nanyue and guarded Lingnan.

Although the Ling Canal was opened so that Daqian could reach Lingnan directly by water, it was too difficult to control Lingnan. So Wang Luo used the method of dividing the world in Bang Zhou that year, and divided Wang Cheng as the king. This is also the first king of the Daqian Dynasty.

For areas outside the land of Zhuxia, which cannot be directly controlled for the time being, he is ready to divide the royal family and let it guard it, thinking that it is a fence.

The great dynasty of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, ended in a lively atmosphere.

After the end of the court, Wang Luo left Li Mu behind.

"Your Majesty, peace of mind."

"Sit!" Wang Luo waved his hand.

After Li Mu sat down, Wang Luo asked, "Li Qing, how long will it take for the construction of the Great Wall to be completed?" ”

"Your Majesty, the construction of the Great Wall is difficult, the amount of work is very large, and it will take at least ten years to complete." Li Mu said.

Wang Luo frowned slightly: "Ten years is too long"

"Your Majesty, it's not that the craftsmen don't work hard, but the Great Wall is mostly in the mountains, and it is difficult to transport, if you speed up again, I'm afraid that the people will be killed and injured countless times." Li Mu advised.

Wang Luo nodded, knowing in his heart that this kind of large-scale project could not be rushed, and immediately asked: "Let's build the Great Wall according to the plan, how about the supply of logistics materials?" ”

"The logistics supply is quite normal." Li Mu hesitated slightly.

Wang Luo said: "It's okay, the construction of the Great Wall is the top priority, if there are any problems, report them immediately." ”

"Whoa!"

After Li Mu left, Wang Luo shouted, "Someone is coming." ”

Immediately a man came out of the corner of the main hall.

"Your Majesty, what do you command?"

"Let the secret guard find a few people who have finished serving the labor of the Great Wall and come and ask about it." Wang Luo said.

"Whoa!"

After the dark guard left, Wang Luo frowned and thought. In a country with a population of more than 20 million, there are too many things going on. In many cases, it doesn't mean that he can solve the problem with an edict.

After all, he was only one person, and all the edicts needed to be executed by others, and when it came time to carry them out, the difference was too great.

It's like collecting taxes, basically relying on thousands of low-level officials in various places, and these people can get a lot of money as long as they raise the scale a little.

After all, the weighing tools of this era are not very accurate.

Just like Wang Luo ordered the confiscation of books and bamboo slips, if those officials were lazy or did not implement them seriously, the people would keep a lot of books. After all, there are so many people, it is impossible for the court to stare at them day by day.

The imperial court said that it would collect books, but it could not set a quantity, and there were too many operations in it. Although the books collected in the end were piled up, many of them were damaged or lost.

People have selfish intentions, and so do those grassroots officials. In this era, books are very precious things, and a book can be used as a family heirloom, and such a precious thing is naturally something that some people want to hide. Let all the officials be fair and selfless, except for the ancestor Zijue, he really can't think of anyone who can do it.

This kind of problem is not only in ancient times, but even in modern society, the problem of grassroots officials has not been completely solved.
