After the First Emperor swept the Six-in-One Central Plains, he quickly ordered the city walls to be demolished for some reason, and at the same time, the passes everywhere were gradually demolished.
Xianyang, the former capital of the Qin Empire, did not plan the city wall at the beginning of the construction, and it is not easy to say what kind of concept it was for at the beginning, there is a saying that the Shang Yang who planned the city thought that the terrain around Xianyang was a natural barrier, and the Qin army was good at fighting the capital and did not need to be defended by the city wall.
"Linzi is a temporary capital, and the capital will be moved elsewhere in the future."
Ah Xiang is Linzi Order, I don't know if it was the above indication or her own meaning, she came over after Xie Daoyun arrived.
She felt the need to answer Xie Daoyun's question: "At first, I thought that the scope of the capital would continue to expand, and there would be many restrictions on the existence of the city wall.
The army has been kept out of the country, and there is no need for city walls. ” Xie Daoyun was extremely surprised that the person in charge of the capital of the Han Kingdom was a woman, and it was the norm for women to be officials in ancient times, but since the Western Han Dynasty, women will also serve as female officials in the palace, and there is no place for women in the rest of the official positions.
She really didn't expect that the Han Kingdom under Liu Yan's rule would have a "retro" that broke the convention.
Ah Xiang is the wife of Li Kuang, the general of Han Guolang, and at present, women will marry with their husband's surname.
Outsiders should call her Li, because she has an official position, and she will directly call the official name without a surname.
It is a custom in most mainstream countries in the world to take the husband's surname, and the Chinese mainland is maintained until the end of the Republic of China, and some autonomous government areas outside the "two rules" are retained such as Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan.
"I will move from Linzi at any time" Xie Daoyun asked curiously: "Where will it be moved?"
This Ah Xiang is not very clear, but recently the issue of moving the capital has been raised, and those who advocate it believe that Linzi is too biased towards the east of the country, which is not conducive to the central control of the local government.
In addition, it is felt that the capital should be chosen in the center of the country, or the side that the Western Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, and Cao Wei chose to expand before to choose the location of the capital.
"Shouldn't the terrain around the capital be given priority" Xie Daoyun knows that the reason why Jiankang will become the capital is that Jiankang has a foundation for development, but also that there are natural barriers around Jiankang.
She thought of something, and said: "The Han army has conquered the capital of Shijie, Xiangguo, and I heard that the king of Han ordered that the palace should not be destroyed."
Ah Xiang gave an affirmative answer: "There is such an order."
The person who gave the order was not the king, but the prime minister. ” In fact, according to Ran Min's original intention, he wanted to set fire to the palaces that looked magnificent, the reason was that the palaces were not only from the people's fat and people's ointment, but also from the people's blood and tears, and they should learn from Xiang Yu, the former overlord of Western Chu, to burn them down in a just way.
Ji Chang could give an order directly to the military, but his order was approved by Liu Yan.
He considered that Liu Yan was never willing to spend people and material resources to build a place of pleasure, and it was a good thing for the king to live a simple life, but if the king's residence was not magnificent, it would lower the majesty of a country, and since Shijie had been established, the Han State could also be used.
Liu Yan's idea is that since it has been built, and no matter whether it is to live in it or not, the things that have been built with people's and material resources should not be easily destroyed.
"Ah" Xie Daoyun was surprised again: "King Han wants to move in, so he will be scolded."
"The king didn't say he was going to move here."
Ah Xiang's impression of Xie Daoyun is a little better, on the grounds that Xie Daoyun will think about her husband's family before she gets married.
She smiled and said, "There is a rumor that the capital will be moved to Guanzhong, but I don't know what the king will think." ” The territory of the Han Kingdom has been expanded again and again, from the former Changguang County, the entire Qingzhou has been recovered, and the entire territory of Xuzhou and Yanzhou has been recovered, Jizhou and Yuzhou are also most recovered, and even Sizhou is about to recover the whole territory, and Linzi as the capital is really too far east.
The administrative center of a country should not be too remote, and the control over places that are too far away is not enough, and then the money and grain and other taxes in various places must be handed over to the center after all, and if it is far away, it is not only a loss, but also a big trouble.
The statement about moving the capital to Guanzhong is not for nothing, and Liu Yan's personal tendency is also to prefer Chang'an as the capital.
He has such an idea not only that there are many natural barriers around Chang'an, but that several dynasties with Chang'an as the capital are relatively strong, and that the Han Kingdom will definitely expand westward in the future, so the capital located in Chang'an is not only beneficial to westward expansion, but also can actually play a convenient role in the conquest of the grassland.
Linzi now has a population of more than 400,000, because the relationship of becoming the capital has long been not limited to the original Linzi boundary, but also the surrounding original counties into the capital system.
It is about ten miles to Xi'an in the north, about ten miles of modern Huantai, west to modern Zibo City, Changguo, Judian Lake in the east, and Linqu in the south, covering an area wider than a smaller county.
The area is too large and the population is small, and the phenomenon is that there are no dense buildings, which leads Xie Daoyun to think that he is not entering a city at all, but in an ordinary countryside.
For Xie Daoyun, what impressed Linzi was not anything, but that there must be boats and boats on every water system, such as seeing many boats and boats in the huge ocean water just now, including many warships.
"Various states and counties can send money and grain to the capital, and they can go by water, not by land."
Ah Xiang didn't think it was a secret, and in the face of Xie Daoyun's curiosity, he said directly: "The country is now at war, and the recovery of various places is also underway, and slaves are used to build roads, and there is no large-scale apportionment of forced labor on road construction." ” Xie Daoyun saw a lot on the way to Linzi, the Han State levy and forced labor was mainly for the local infrastructure, and the most important thing in various places in the recent past was about agricultural water, and the construction of roads and repairing roads were really mostly slaves, and it was rare to see the common people also participate in it.
There are many water systems in Linzi, the largest water system on the north side is the mouth of the Yellow River, some are the Jishui of the big water system nearby, and some small water systems such as water system, turbid water, Zishui, Shishui and so on are connected to each other and vertical and horizontal.
It is indeed very convenient to use it under many water systems, and the residential areas around the water system are also the most dense.
Ah Xiang just met Xie Daoyun, chatted for a while and left.
After entering Linzi, Gaoping's 1,000 cavalry was stationed in the suburban barracks, and Xie Daoyun and others were transferred to the Linzi official office to receive them, and the place where they were arranged was a post house.
The resettlement place is not far from the palace city, and in addition to Xie Daoyun and others, there are some original museum servants in the post house.
What is the difference between the post house in the capital and other post houses in the Han Kingdom, that is, it is larger in scale, and the leaders of the staff inside are still retired soldiers, and the rest of the personnel are hired by the local elderly, women and children, and they cannot see the young and strong.
Xie Daoyun and the others are not a lot, but this is not the reason why they can occupy a post house alone, it is obvious that the post house has been signaled to empty the original people, and it is specially used to house Xie Daoyun and others.
After they were arranged to move in, they should have been courteous in terms of eating and drinking, and there were no restrictions on entry and exit, that is, after Ah Xiang left, no higher-level characters came.
It was about half a month in a row, Xie Daoyun almost walked around Linzi except for the palace city, there was no scenic spot, and there was no majestic or magnificent mansion, which made people wonder whether Linzi was the capital of a country, and how could high-ranking officials and nobles seem so simple.
Xie Daoyun saw the most people who were rushing around for life, the pace of life of the people looked very fast, and everyone was busy and full.
She looked at the situation of the dwellings and the food for dining, the house is a very common thatched hut, but the food is very rich, the season is not to eat vegetables, and fresh fish is a regular on the dinner table.
"The Han ships are very developed, I heard that the warships of the Han people galloped throughout the Bohai Sea, and even went out to the ocean, the sea is a paradise for the Han people to hunt, and every day there is a fleet full of fresh fish from the sea to come here."

Xie Lan was not only responsible for serving Xie Daoyun, but also responsible for inquiring and gathering some information: "Salt in the Han Kingdom is very cheap, and seafood is even cheaper.
The people of Qidi have a long history of eating fish, unlike the people in the inland who are not used to eating fish. ” Xie Daoyun and others grew up in the south and often eat fish, they were more surprised by the new cooking techniques of Linzi people for fish, there is nothing new in putting ginger to remove the fishy smell and debugging, and it is not fresh to make fish into a belly, that is, take some condiments that have never been seen to make what kind of roasted fish not only smells very good, but also tastes good.
"You can eat abundant fish and meat from time to time."
Xie Daoyun came from a big family and is no stranger to eating meat, what she knows is that even rich families in the south may not be able to eat meat from time to time: "Dog meat looks less than mutton, even beef can appear in the market."
Of course, there is a market in Linzi, which is divided into the eastern part of the city, and is divided into a variety of different workshops, which specialize in selling scraps, life, food, and livestock.
For the southerners, they were puzzled and puzzled to see the sale of horses in the market, especially some of the good horses that could be used as war horses could also be sold among the people.
This is only because there is an extreme shortage of horses in the south, especially there are fewer good horses that can be used as war horses, and the full two or three hundred thousand Jin troops are only twenty or thirty thousand cavalry.
"Ma" Ah Xiang came to the post house again after a lapse of seventeen days, and in the face of Xie Daoyun's question, he replied with a smile: "Not everyone can buy it, you must have a knighthood." ” Xie Daoyun felt that this was right, otherwise how many horses would have been resold to the south.
Ah Xiang came over this time to take on a mission, but she didn't feel anxious at all.
She is happy to talk to Xie Daoyun about what she has seen and heard about Linzi, especially to hear Xie Daoyun's impression of Linzi.
"It will not be more populous than Jiankang, and it will not be more prosperous than Jiankang" Xie Daoyun felt that he should tell the truth: "Looking at Linzi as a capital, it is a little cold, not like the capital of a strong country." ” This is where Ah Xiang is most depressed.
The country has been at war all year round, and local construction is mostly based on the foundation.
There is also a king who does not like to do civil engineering at all, and the people below have to press whatever he thinks.
As the capital, Linzi really has no grandeur, at least it cannot be compared with Shijie or the capital of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
It should be said that Xiangguo, the capital of Shijie Zhao, has now become the jurisdiction of the Han State.
"King Han is a king who is sympathetic to the people" Xie Daoyun first praised from the heart, but then frowned and said: "But being strong still needs support, not only for outsiders to see, but also for a strong country to have." ” Those who accompanied the Xie clan to the north, before they came to Linzi, they thought that the Han Kingdom was a strong country, but after waiting to see Linzi, they were less in awe.
This is a normal state of mind in a person, just as a tall and majestic building can make people know how small they are, and no matter how rich a person lives in a thatched house, it will make people look down on him.
After talking for a while, Ah Xiang made his intention clear: "The king is going to leave for Sizhou, and the lady is going to stay in Linzi or go with him."
Xie Daoyun didn't think about it, and said bluntly: "If the marriage is confirmed, Daoyun will naturally be consistent with many mothers."
If the marriage has not yet been decided, it is not good for Dao Yun to accompany him.
Without waiting for Ah Xiang to say anything more, she continued: "If King Han didn't restrict idle people and others, Dao Yun would still want to see the scenery of other places. ” Liu Yan's recent large-scale patrol this time is the first time that the stargazing officer predicts that most areas of Qingzhou will rain for more than a month in the near future, and considering the need to deter the newly recovered area, Liu Yan's patrol will also be determined.
"The king has answered."
Ah Xiang smiled sweetly, narrowed her eyes and said, "I already called you Mrs. just now." ” "No, no."
Xie Daoyun really didn't pay much attention to the salutation just now, and after reacting, he didn't see any shyness, but said, "I haven't officially married yet."
Don't be too busy to call Madame first.
Dao Yun really wanted to meet the king. ” Ah Xiang came here to bring people to see Liu Yan, not only Xie Daoyun was curious about Liu Yan, but Liu Yan was not curious about Xie Daoyun who dared to go north.
Liu Yan chose to confirm his marriage with Xie Daoyun at this time, the children's private relationship is not the most important, it is still related to the battle of the Southern Expedition, and there is a strategy in the marriage.
When Xie Daoyun saw Liu Yan, Xie An was also present.
When the fighting in Sizhou stopped, Xie An returned to Linzi to report on his work, and he would soon be transferred to the Southern Expeditionary Army, where he served as a general in the Xu Zheng shogunate and participated in the Han invasion of the Yangtze River
