If the envoys of various countries saw prosperity in Jiankang, and saw the energetic labor and the desolation after the war before they set out from Jiankang and arrived in Chang'an, then the Chang'an they saw really did not look like the capital of a strong empire.
The old Chang'an City has been repaired in the former Zhao Liu Yao period, it should be said that the city wall is still very majestic, but the back is not the Xiongnu slave Qiang rebellion, even with the Di and Qiang people are also taking turns to rebel, the old Chang'an City has actually repeatedly undergone the test of war, the majestic city wall has been repeatedly damaged in repeated wars, waiting for the Qiang people to sit in the Central Plains after the capital is set in Xiangguo, the old Chang'an City has not been repaired at all.
Today's old Chang'an City is not only full of gaps in the city wall, but also the buildings in the city are ten to four or five, and those that have not collapsed are not much better, either overgrown with weeds or very badly damaged, resulting in the impression that it is completely dilapidated.
Liu Yan wants to set the capital in Guanzhong, considering that the new Chang'an City can not be built in a short time, the official has cleaned up the old Chang'an City, and the main object of repair is the palace city, but how can a dilapidated city be restored in a short period of time, and the old Chang'an City will be bulldozed after the new Chang'an City, and it really didn't take much effort to repair it.
The official carried out a certain degree of clean-up of the old Chang'an City, the road was one of the objects of clean-up, and then it was to bulldoze some areas, and the army set up camp in the cleared area, and the result was that the old Chang'an City became a large barracks full of tents.
The Han State arranged whether the rest place of the envoys of various countries was a relatively intact house in the city, or was it more humane to carry out a certain degree of isolation, such as arranging the two sworn enemies of Persian Sassanid and Rome far away.
"The most powerful empire of the Han people used this city as its capital" Kianush Arta Ardashir was allowed to climb a tower, and when you look at the whole city from above, you can see that the city is still very large: "Although you can see the ruins, you can imagine that the city must have been glorious." ” To be honest, the old Chang'an City is really very big, if you don't have enough height, you can't see the end at all, and if you count the suburban manor, it will seem even bigger.
"The Han people are building a new city there."
Ergutai Bahram pointed to the south, too far away to see only some vague outlines: "I heard that more than 1.5 million laborers were used" In the construction plan of the new Chang'an, the new Chang'an City will no longer build a city wall, but will divide each "square" by road planning.
The new city is at the southeast end of the old city, still in the middle of Fengshui and Bashui, but it is closer to Bashui.
The location of the new Chang'an City is actually Chang'an in the Li Tang period, and if you change the place, you will have to send friends to the willows, if you don't change the place, you can only send friends to the city gate, so Li Tang has no record of sending friends to the willows before.
This time, the planning of the new Chang'an City was to directly erase Du County, and even Lantian was partially covered, and the Li Tang Dynasty also repeatedly expanded to the south, getting closer and closer to the Qinling Mountains.
"One and a half million" Kianush Alta Ardashir almost urinated when he heard it: "We came from the south, and the labor force we saw along the way was at least two million, and it was terrible that the Han Empire used three and a half million labor in the same year."
In fact, it is far more than 3.5 million, after the end of spring ploughing, it is time to levy and issue conscription, in addition to the normal conscription, there is also paid employment, and the population involved in the large-scale construction is more than 6 million, most of which are concentrated in the construction of the national highway from Jiankang to Guanzhong, 1.5 million are used to build the new Chang'an City, and the rest are scattered everywhere.
In the eighth year of Yuanshuo, the occurrence of drought was getting closer and closer, and even drought had already broken out in some areas, but the government did not watch the serious consequences of the disaster, but took large projects to regain the population, especially in the areas where the disaster had already occurred.
The envoys of various countries did not know that the Han State was facing a large-scale natural disaster, and that the purpose of launching the large-scale project was to achieve the purpose of cash-for-work, and they could only be shocked by the fact that the Han State was able to organize millions of people to work, marvel at the organizational ability of the Han State, and wonder why the Han people would be extremely cooperative with the government.
"Not to mention organizing 3.5 million people to work, we will be a mess even if we gather 100,000 people to work together."
Ergutai Bahram knew very well what Kianush Arta Ardashir was shocking, and said with a wry smile: "The last time we built the road from Tessifon to Iraq, only 80,000 people could break out into a riot. ” Eugutai Bahram was speaking seven years ago, when the Persian Sassanids were planning to attack the eastern Roman provinces again, and in order to achieve the rapid mobilization of troops and the subsequent transportation of baggage, a considerable number of Arabs, Jews, Egyptians, and African blacks were recruited, and the Arabs fought the Jews before the road had even begun.
In fact, since the Parthian period, they have conquered a considerable number of countries and peoples, and some of them have been persecuted by other countries and immigrated to the past, such as the Jews, who have long migrated all over the world.
The Jews and the Arabs were at odds for a long time, after the "Jewish Wars" of 66-70 C.E., which ended with the fall of Jerusalem by the Romans.
They were divided into many branches to find their own way out, fleeing mainly to non-Roman territories, a considerable number to what was then Nabata, and more often to the Parthian Empire and the Kingdom of Armenia.
Hundreds of years have passed, the Jews still have no homeland of their own, and the ethnic division is more dispersed than hundreds of years ago, except for the Jews who were taken to Europa as slaves, and a considerable number of Jews migrated to Europa on their own, but the largest number of Jews is still in the Middle East, and the largest number of Jews in Iraq and Syria.
To be serious, the Arabs and the Jews, who also have no country of their own, are actually sympathetic to each other, but the two sides do not sympathize with each other because of the same misery, on the contrary, the relationship is very bad.
As for what the reason is, it's actually quite simple, but I can't describe it in depth.
"Let the entourage open their eyes and open their minds" Kianush Arta Ardashir took a deep breath: "Negotiate with the Han people, and if you can get permission, be sure to learn their management knowledge." ” Ergutai Bahram immediately nodded violently, there is no shortage of countries with hundreds of millions of people in the world, but there are really not many countries that can organize millions of people to work together, what he knows is that there are only two so far, that is, ancient Egypt that has perished and cannot get up, and the other is the Han civilization that has been reborn again and again, and the rest of the countries really have no country to do, whether it is Rome or them, obviously there is no shortage of manpower and material resources, but it really can't be done.
At another site, the Romans were allowed to enter the site directly.
The scope of the new Great Wall is very large, it is divided into different parts of the area and built in stages, the place where Aluus Syxtus Cicero took the people is an area that is clearing and leveling the land, and what you see is a clear division of labor, some people shovel the earth, some people load the earth, some people transport it, but there are many people but there is no chaos, on the contrary, it is orderly.
"Only the slaves need overseers, and the Seris don't need supervision to work hard."
Aulus Sexes Cicero is not only looking at the size of the site, but also looking at how to ensure the order: "They all seem to know what they have to do, and they don't need to be urged" In fact, both slaves and ordinary people are supervised, but the sergeants who supervise slaves are too obvious.
After the people are grouped, they have their own group leaders, and above the group leaders, there are also team leaders, and both the group leaders and the team leaders personally participate in the labor, but they can urge and assign what the same group should do.
The discipline of the Han people did not appear overnight, but Liu Yan would register the population every time he returned to another place, and the region would also carry out military management for a period of time, and it was inevitable that a set of militarized management would be carried out, and then there would be its own civilized conscription system, plus each county had its own military training in summer and winter every year, and discipline was established bit by bit.
If it is summarized in terms, to put it bluntly, the current Han State is in the stage of military one state, one main and one righteousness, including administrative construction and related military training systems, all of which are paving the way for outward expansion.
After close observation, as long as there is a military career, they don't need to bother too much to observe, they can perceive that they are very disciplined in the army.
"Jupiter is on top" Aulus Sextus Cicero does not make a cross, and he does not call Jesus or God in shock, but the main god of the original Roman faith: "That is, if the Son of Heaven is willing, he can have an army of millions of men with discipline at any time" What I want to say is that in fact, the Romans have always been polytheistic and 1 sect and 1 religion, and the main god is indeed Jupiter, but there are many gods.
Each time they conquered a land, they incorporated the target gods into their sect system.
Then, because Constantine the Great joined the Church from 272 to 337 AD, Rome did not actually reject the Church of Christianity, but it still existed and worshipped other gods.
The Romans didn't care about hundreds of millions of troops, and it was not uncommon for the empire of Central Asia to organize hundreds of thousands or even close to a million people to invade Europa in history, and Rome itself won a real final victory with far less than the Parthian army, so it really didn't care so much about the number of an army.
What Aulus Sykes Tus Cicero cared about was the discipline shown by the Han people, whether an army had discipline or not is fundamental, and only an army with discipline could be called an army, otherwise it would be a rabble.
Since he came into contact with the Han State, he has been constantly comparing in his heart, thinking that the Han army he came into contact with in the Pingman Lieutenant Department is equivalent to the regular army of his own country, and he heard that the Han State has thirteen standing legions and a very elite Praetorian Guard.
The standing army of the Han State plus the Praetorian Guard is about 250,000 people, but it does not count the county soldiers and servant army.
At its peak, Rome had fifty-six legions, which was at the height of Rome in 117 AD, with each legion being 6,000 men, for a total strength of 336,000 men.
Four of them were in Africa, nearly thirty in the Rhine and Danube, in Romania for Germanic and Slavic, a dozen in the Euphrates and Syria for Persia, one in the Roman capital, and several in England.
At that time, Rome had fifty-six legions, but in fact it was not the same quality, and there were only twenty field legions that could really be pulled out of the field, and the rest were quite garrison regiments and the like.
The Romans destroyed Parthia by mobilizing twenty legions and conscripting the conquered barbarians into eight legions.
The Barbarian Legion organized by Rome was very irregular, for example, the number of Teutonic legions exceeded 30,000 at its peak, and the number of barbarian legions was only 35,000 at the lesser number.

"Terrible" Marius Ugri was excited: "That's why we have to win over Ceris as our ally" "Yes, yes, it must be fought," said Aulus Sexes Cicero in great excitement at first, and then in anguish, "but our requests to meet with the Son of Seris have been repeatedly denied, and we have not even had a chance to speak. ” Marius Ugri said: "The Son of Cyris did not meet the Persians, our chances are the same, and even our advantage is greater." ” "The Seris don't know anything about Rome, and the most important thing for us is to let them know what Rome is like."
Aulus Saxus Cicero paused and added, "Especially the fact that we have destroyed Parthia." ” Not to mention that the Han Kingdom knows nothing about Rome, in fact, Rome also knows very little about the current Han Kingdom, only the group of people who came in person have seen it with their own eyes and perceived that the Han State has a huge military source can be regarded as hot.
In the following period, the envoys of various countries still did not receive from Liu Yan, but Lü Yi met with the envoys of various countries one after another, and still did not respond to the temptation of the alliance between Rome and Sasanian, and talked about commerce and trade.
Because they didn't know how to transport the purchased grain back to the Han State, the envoys of various countries felt that even if the Han State purchased too much grain, except for the officially agreed grain deal, they all agreed to the Han people to enter the territory to purchase grain, as a response to the Han State accepting the trade requests of various countries.
Later, Alus Sykes and Cicero learned that the Persians had set a time to meet Liu Yan, and in a hurry, they frequently asked to see Lu Yi, eager to know when they would be able to see Liu Yan
