Volume 2: The Abyss of Sighs 0127, the imperial capital of Chang'an
After saying goodbye to Qinghui, Welling returned to the second basement floor and told Shougong and the children about restraining the teacher, and Shougong and the children felt quite rude and couldn't help but be ashamed.
Shougong selected two large ones among the four remaining spirit fish, and Jinu enthusiastically experimented with freezing techniques to freeze the fish.
Welling wrapped the spirit fish slightly, and Dafang found Qinghui's residence and handed it to the servants in Qinghui's residence.
Since Welling's status level has reached the county level, he is also a member of the bureaucratic hierarchy of the empire, and he can check the information of the residence of the officials of the Iasi Empire in the city at will.
In fact, Wei Ling understood that the reason why Qing Hui was joking was actually telling all the officials and subordinates in disguise that Wei Ling was his student and he was serious.
For this kind of silent care of Qinghui, Welling is naturally grateful in his heart.
On the way back to the courtyard, Welling strolled through the streets on the second floor, feeling the mental state of the crowd.
Since the war subsided, the empire won a total victory, and the strategic buffer to the west had increased a lot, and the calm and unhurried demeanor of the county of Iasi had returned, much more relaxed and calm than the solemn worries before the war.
Life has completely returned to its normal state, and people's attention has once again been focused on the daily trivialities of life, considering their own positions, future income, children's future and goal direction, and various other directions that are very individual, which are very different from the mental state samples collected by Welling before the war.
Wei Ling returned to the small courtyard and saw that Li Lingyou was bored drinking tea in the living room, chatting with the slave without a match.
This neighbor, it seems, will come over every day for the foreseeable future.
Seeing the eldest brother coming back, Ji Nu Le was busy making tea for Welling.
Li Lingyou smashed his mouth:
"Brother Welling, why don't we take the time to go to Jortan Lake again."
Welling laughed and scolded:
"You guy, aren't you worried about bringing disaster to those fish?"
Li Lingyou was stunned for a moment, and understood that Wei Ling already knew that he had thrown the matter of eating fish yesterday to the forum of the Jixia School Palace, and smiled awkwardly:
"Hehe, I guess that even if those guys don't travel thousands of miles, they still have to return empty-handed, and not everyone can catch those spirit fish."
"Well, that's right, why, so idle? Where's your fifth brother? ”
"Yes, the war is over, the main rewards have come down, and the special rewards are estimated to be slowly implemented in batches in the future, I'm talking about G205 metal...... The fifth brother also returned to the imperial capital, and just left today.
He said that they were all his own people, and there was no need to say goodbye, so he left directly.
With the great improvement of the strategic buffer on the Western Front, the empire should now be busy reformulating the staffing, rotation system, information system construction, job responsibilities and regulations, disposal process, and evaluation standards of the three major military observation offices...... These are too complicated, and those intelligent officials are going to be busy to death.
As for the Legionnaires and Battlemancers, it was easier. ”
Welling nodded in approval:
"Well, indeed, there is another problem, most of the militia inspection system will also be revised, and it is no longer meaningful to go to patrol now.
I wonder if there will be a new system similar to that of the Revenant, the Gold Digger or the Pangolin to train new recruits, integrating special material collection, physical training, survival skills, etc., to achieve the purpose of training follow-up soldiers. ”
"Brother Welling said that it is possible, but it is also possible to directly abolish the militia system and change it to a recruit training system...... Who knows, how will your next work be arranged? ”
"Wait for the results and news."
Li Lingyou naturally knew about Welling, and thought about it for a while:
"That's right, if there is no follow-up, go back to the imperial capital with me once."
"What?"
"Seeing the valve master, after receiving my valve master's order, don't you go back and take a look, the eight hundred miles of rivers and mountains in the imperial capital, 30 million people, are still waiting for us to inspect."
"Haha, it's okay, I'm free now, and your service in Iasi is estimated to be over, do you still want to serve in the army? Which county will you go to next time? ”
Li Lingyou's smile was a little playful:
"I plan to follow you, follow you to have adventures, in case I meet a master, give me a secret book to improve my mental power, wouldn't I enter the middle level at once, haha!"
Welling couldn't laugh or cry:
"You think more beautiful than you look...... I think about it, if there is no other situation, we will go to the imperial capital first, take all the children with us, walk there, read thousands of books, and have to travel thousands of miles. ”
Eighteen Lang's smile froze:
"From Iasi to the imperial capital, it is nearly 5,000 kilometers, and it has to cross countless mountains and rivers, and vast forests...... Walk back, are you sure? ”
……
The Great Xia Empire of Eastern Earth, the land of the heartland.
The fertile summer plain is surrounded by the Huanglong Plateau in the north, the West Kunlun Mountains in the west, and the Taibai Mountains in the south.
The Guanhe River is congested, the country of abundance, 800 miles of rivers and mountains, and 30 million people, which is the Xia Pingyuan of Wuhua Tianbao.
The imperial capital of Chang'an, located in the middle of the Xia Pingyuan, rolls through the city with summer water.
For thousands of years, Chang'an has been quietly on both sides of the summer water, sheltering the people of Daxia, from the barbaric era, primeval, ancient and ancient, here has always been the birthplace and development of the civilization of the Daxia people, and it is also the most important place of prosperity in the heart, even during the period of annihilation, there was no direct nuclear bomb washing here.
In the era of divine apocalypse, this was naturally the most important place in the empire, and the "Weiyang" enchantment, like the nine major counties such as Iasi and Bohu, shrouded a range of 100 kilometers in diameter.
The 50-meter-high metal city wall shelters countless imperial palaces, ministries and offices, guard posts, military garrisons, and scientific research institutes within the barrier.
As far as the eye can see, the most eye-catching is the towering Weiyang Tower, the traditional Daxia style with heavy eaves resting on the top of the mountain, with as many as 99 layers and a height of nearly 300 meters.
In the entire Xia Plateau, Weiyang Pagoda is the tallest building, and it is naturally the main body of Weiyang Enchantment.
Most of the material of the tower is a dark gold alloy material, which is extremely solemn and gorgeous in the background of the entire dark city.
Whether it is in the morning glow, under the sunset, in the moonlight, in the storm, the faint brilliance of Weiyang Tower, it is the most beautiful centering axis in the hearts of the citizens of the imperial capital.
Chang'an County naturally has many underground floors, the bottom fourth floor is still energy, mining, smelting and some factories, the third floor is various factories and military and civilian reserve warehouses, and the second layer is the residence of most of the imperial officials, some soldiers and warlocks.
What distinguishes Chang'an County from other counties is that there are a large number of residential areas outside the city walls.
At the beginning of the Great Annihilation, the Great Xia Emperor did not have such a large population, and the few floors inside the county town were enough to accommodate the population at that time.
And with the reduction of the radiation of the ground layer, the growth of the population, and the overall migration of the various gates, families, and noble clans, the core area of the empire can no longer be accommodated.
In fact, the residential needs of the four gate valves are not what the second floor of the inner city can accommodate, so Wang Xie Li Yang and the four gate valves have selected a large piece of land in the four directions outside the city to build their own gate valve manors.
In recent decades, as families of all sizes in the empire have accelerated their approach to the imperial capital and built mansions on the periphery, the imperial capital has become more and more huge, and the southernmost part has even approached the Taibai Mountains.
Therefore, although the population of the empire was as high as 150 million, 30 million lived in Chang'an County, so no matter how you look at it, the imperial capital is the undisputed political, economic, scientific and cultural center of the empire.
Xiao Jingmo did not stay in Iasi for half a day, and returned to the imperial capital in time with the temporarily formed staff, command and supervision system of the Battle of Iasi.
He could have rested for a few days and then went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to hand over the report, but through the information of the Weiyang Enchantment, he learned that the Prime Minister had been resting for a few days, so he decided to go to Xie Valve to visit the Imperial Prime Minister Xie Xinyi first.
Sitting in his own exclusive small and medium-sized vehicle, Lord Xiao overlooked the familiar imperial capital below, reviewing all aspects of Iasi's party with a calm face.
Xie Valve's manor is in the northwest corner of Chang'an County, covering an extremely wide area, hundreds of acres in size, and in front of the solemn mansion, there is even a large square, which is enough to dock two large vehicles.
Xiao Jingmo is naturally a frequent visitor to Xie Valve, the vehicle has just docked, and the detection system of the mansion has already learned the identity information of the owner of the vehicle through the Weiyang Enchantment.
The person who received the prime minister's chief subordinate officer was definitely not an ordinary servant.
Xie Valve's chief manager, Xie Yuwei, who had white hair and was full of energy, personally greeted him.
The ancestor of the old housekeeper is not surnamed Xie, and no one knows what the specific surname is, because more than 100 years before the annihilation, their ancestor was a jobless vagrant who wandered to Chang'an, and was taken in by the Xie family, and took care of the affairs for the Xie family for generations, and then directly used the surname Xie Valve.
For more than 200 years, Xie Yuwei's family has been completely integrated into Xie Valve, but his identity has not changed, although he is not a direct disciple of the gate valve, but he also learns and practices with the children of Xie Valve, and his descendants and descendants are all in various parts of the empire as Xie Valve's side lineage, in various parts of the empire, joining the army or running a business, and Xie Valve's direct descendants are no different.
The old man is very smart, in addition to being loyal to the family, he is also very shrewd and meticulous in dealing with people, and he is quite valued by Xie Lingxiao, the owner of the valve.
"Haha, Jingmo is here, please come in, the eldest master is in retreat, it's inconvenient to disturb each other, the eldest son is out, and the second son is waiting for you in Zhilanxuan."
Xiao Jingmo hurriedly bowed and saluted.
In the entire imperial capital, the one who called the lord of Xie Valve the lord and the prime minister of the empire the second son was the old man:
"How dare you work to welcome the old man, the boy is guilty, guilty!"
Xie Yuwei stroked her white beard in her hands, looked at the personable Xiao Jingmo from head to toe, and laughed:
"Jingmo is so personable, it seems that he didn't suffer much on Iasi's side, haha."
"Thanks to the blessing of the adults, everything is going well, and it is not a disappointment."
"Alright, let's go in, let's go in."
Xiao Jingmo followed behind Xie Yuwei and entered Xie Valve's grand and quiet mansion.
