"It's a mistake on the part of a widow.
It is said that the wealth snatched back from the Western Regions caused a sensation, and it is still late on the Chang'an side, for the northwest to Guanzhong, and then all the way to Chang'an, the places on the road have long been like water dripping into the hot oil pot, which is called deflagration.
The robbery of the Han Kingdom in the Indochina Peninsula was business, operated for three or four years, and the first two years were transported to Xiangguo, where there were basically not many people after the ravages of Hulu, and then the wealth that was robbed basically relied on water transportation, and there were few pauses in the middle, and there was no onlookers, plus there was no special official publicity, so it was naturally impossible to cause any sensational effect.
Even if the operation of the Indochina Peninsula is carried out in a low-key manner, the result is still to attract qualified people from the south to go to the Indochina Peninsula, those who go early will get rich early, and those who go later can drink some soup and gnaw some bones, and going to the Indochina Peninsula is equivalent to making a fortune is the concept of southerners today.
It has to be said that there are really not many countries in the Indochina Peninsula, and it is a place that is almost no different from the wilderness, and those tribes who rob the local area can grab some spoils, but more resources need to be done by themselves, or mining, or logging, and making a fortune is a long process, especially with advance investment.
The Western Regions is different, there has long been a civilization there, although it is said that there is no superpower, but the development of all aspects is really not comparable to that of the Indochina Peninsula.
The countries of the Western Regions have their own civilizations, and they are still in the Silk Road Economic Belt, and they may not be very good in terms of military force, but their wealth holdings are really not low.
It will be difficult to grab something in the wild area for a while, and you need to plan and operate it yourself after conquering the territory, and slowly it will produce wealth.
Snatching some countries with basic civilizations is to obtain some wealth that has been created.
If you grab an area with developed trade, just like this time the Han people directly enter the territory of the Qiuzi people, every time you capture a city, you can immediately get a huge amount of wealth, one city and one place may not be too much, but the more places you conquer, the wealth will inevitably accumulate, and the wealth gathered is an astronomical amount, and it is not counting the territory itself that has been captured.
Liu Yan, who was disturbed by natural disasters, has been in a depressed mood recently, and he is finally less depressed when he calculates the value of the loot that Cai You will bring back.
Not counting the others, the number of gold coins transported back to Chang'an from the Western Regions reached more than 700,000, the number of silver coins reached more than 1,600,000, nearly 1,000 gems of various kinds, and more jewelry, cloth and miscellaneous gadgets.
In terms of wealth, the first wave of looting was enough for Liu Yan to arm seven more standing armies, which could last for two years even if they supplied the existing army.
And on the premise that the entire territory of Qiuci has not been conquered, some cities in Qiuci have also been robbed by Ding Lingren, Di people and some guys who took advantage of the fire in advance.
"You can buy food overseas, but it's difficult to get in touch."
Ji Chang was really not so willing to pour cold water, he had to tell the truth: "There are not many countries around Dahan. ” It's really the same thing, the countries around the Han Kingdom are basically wiped out, and even if they survive, there is no agricultural civilization, and if you want to buy plant food, you have to go overseas.
Last year, the Han sent people to Persia, Rome, and some countries on the three continents to purchase grain.
Both Persia and Rome had domestic troubles, one with frequent rebellions, and the other simply divided into three sides to fight a civil war, which doomed them to have difficulty selling grain in large quantities, and then the price was high.
For example, the two Satraps, Calabaras, and Vagatha, which belong to the "Five Nations Alliance", are not all busy preparing for war, and they are about to fight a major war, so how can they have surplus grain to sell To put it mildly, at present, the world is a big country, and every country is in a state of food shortage, either due to natural disasters or man-made disasters brought about by war.
Those countries that have neither natural disasters nor man-made disasters have a little surplus of food, but the big countries around them are short of food, and there is no need to mention what the consequences are, and if they do not hand over the food, they will wait to be beaten, resulting in not much food in their hands.
Liu Yan, who was in a better mood, turned gloomy again.
He did know that this was the case, because of the face of Persia and Rome, the overseas purchase of grain was a large number at the beginning, but then there was a precipitous decline, and the later the less grain could be purchased.
Liu Yan and Ji Chang's conversation did not take place indoors, they walked along the green boulevard of the newly built palace city.
The palace city of the new Chang'an is naturally the top priority of all projects, and it must be in the priority sequence, it took more than a year, the main palace group has basically risen from the ground, and the forest garden that should have also shown scale.
Because Liu Yan wants to imitate the antique, maybe the building is not exactly the same as the first Han Dynasty, but the name of the palace Que group, especially the name of some main halls, is directly used with the name of the Western Han Dynasty.
The green boulevard they are walking on now is the road from Jianzhang Palace to Weiyang Palace, and they have just passed the Prime Minister's Mansion, almost to the vicinity of the arsenal.
The Prime Minister's Mansion turned out to be in Miyagi, so it's complete nonsense In the palace city of the Western Han Dynasty, the authority of the imperial court is placed in the palace city, not only the prime minister's mansion, but also the rest of the imperial history office, the court office, the Taiwei office, the Shaofu office, and the Weiwei office, as long as it is the office location of the three princes and nine secretaries, are all in the palace.
The main office is in Miyagi.,There are attached offices outside of Miyagi.,But generally there are no important people on duty.,Even the document or something is also a secondary level.。
There is also an arsenal inside Miyagi, and that is even more nonsense in nonsense.
There are not only arsenals, but also the buildings of the Miyagi garrison, and even areas such as drill grounds, training grounds, and martial arts training grounds.
The reason why Miyagi occupies such a large area is not that the ruler himself needs to be so big, and he can only use as much space as he can alone.
In addition to the ruler himself, many women in the harem also need a place, and then the necessary subordinate officials, garrisons, palace maids, and eunuchs do not enter the palace until they go to work On both sides of the boulevard, there were soldiers standing every three meters or so, and they were divided into armor and samurai.
For example, if something happens, the armor soldiers will fight in formation, and the samurai will cooperate with Liu Yan's escort to fight.
Don't think that the armed personnel on duty everywhere are all, Miyagi is considered to be heavily guarded, and it is not the sentry posts everywhere that you see, in fact, some people are hidden in the surrounding dark places, and some buildings in Miyagi are also equipped with many armed personnel on duty at any time and anywhere, that is, some look at ordinary buildings, believe it or not, open doors or windows to reveal large long-range attack weapons.
Miyagi, who had nothing to do, sounded quiet and looked absolutely peaceful, but as soon as something happened, there were guards pouring out everywhere.
Usually a person walks on any road, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching, something abnormal is taken away by someone who suddenly appears, if anyone walks and suddenly pulls out the murder weapon, the next moment is to be entertained by dense arrows, that is why no one dares to make a move in Miyagi if they are not on the special list such as the ruler and his family.
This situation is really not that Liu Yan is afraid of death, any dynasty is basically of this grade, no matter how weak and small the Zhuxia Dynasty is, the guards of the palace city are definitely the strictest.
The first Qin loved to build a pavilion, the first Han loved to build a building, Liu Yan combined the two, you can see everywhere in the palace city is a pavilion and a building, the highest is ten or so floors high, but the shape is a tower.
The attic was dismantled because it wasn't really a word that came together at the time.
Pavilion, especially the pavilion of the pre-Qin period, to put it bluntly, is a kind of Zhangtai, because the pre-Qin period was built basically using all wood structure, the structure of the pavilion is actually really not visible except for the wood other materials, it is mainly used for overlooking, recreation and book collection.
The building is higher than the pavilion, and it is different from the pre-Qin period that only uses a wooden structure, and at the same time, the ground floor of the pre-Han dynasty is actually completely hollow except for the load-bearing columns, and the wall is only built on the second floor.
The first Han royal family built the building, basically from the four floors above the use, the lower three floors are completely furnishings, especially the top of the floor, in addition to as a leisure to enjoy singing and dancing, reading books, etc., the most favorite thing to do is to stand on the top of the balcony to look at Chang'an City.
Liu Yan had no purpose in wandering this time, and he came to a tower as he walked.
A group of people passed, and the lower floor was not built with walls according to the custom of the ancestors, and went up from the stairs to the second floor, because there were only load-bearing columns and no other things that blocked the view, and at a glance you could see the soldiers sitting on the ground in full armor and sitting quietly in the dim sight.
The soldiers hiding here were obviously very excited when they saw Liu Yan's arrival, except for the chief officer who walked over to salute Liu Yan, the rest of them did not move, and sat in place with heavy breathing, but their eyes moved with Liu Yan's movements.

The third floor is still full of sit-in soldiers, but the difference is that there are more bed crossbows and other big killing weapons, and there are also some shelves or chests for placing crossbow arrows.
When I got to the fourth floor, I finally built up the walls and divided the rooms, but I didn't see that there was not much furniture or other things, so it can be seen that whether it is Liu Yan or some people who are qualified to play, they rarely come to this tower.
The design of the staircase is in the shape of a "Z", which of course came from Liu Yan, or it was actually the circular rising style around the four walls.
I saw on TV that the Eastern Han Dynasty used to be a modern style of staircase, which was a construction of film and television buildings that did not pay attention to it, otherwise it would have been until the Sui and Tang dynasties that the "Z" style staircase appeared It should be said that not only did Zhuxia use the circular ascent style around the edge walls for a long time, but the rest of the civilizations also adopted the same design method as long as the buildings were tall enough, and Europa also maintained this circular ascent system until some wind-powered carriages in World War I or churches that were tall enough to borrow no power.
Up to the top, Liu Yan walked directly to the balcony, and then looked out from a high level, not looking inside the palace, but looking at the distance.
It was a construction site, and a large depression had been dug out, and some people were digging and some were loading, and then they were pulled by animal carts and didn't know where they were going to be transported.
The city of Zhuxia, especially as the imperial capital, how can there be no such "pool" and that "pool" is not, and it must be dug up a few.
This habit has been passed down from the Qin Empire, the first emperor was assassinated in Lanchi, the Lanchi was dug out by hand, and a lot of places to play were built.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the emperors before Liu Che were threatened by the Huns, and the threat of the domestic princes and kings was not small, and they had neither the financial resources nor the leisure to engage in any amusement facilities, but after Liu Che it was different, especially to solve the threat of the Huns, it was necessary to build palaces on a large scale, and there was nothing to do to mobilize huge people to dig "pools".
"Pool" is an official name, according to modern language is the lake, no matter what the emperor is digging for, no matter what kind of amusement facilities are built, the existence of those lakes is indeed of great use, first of all, the existence of the lake extends out of the canal, providing water for the people in the city, and then the enlightened emperor also allows the people to play, how are many places where you can relax and relax.
Hangzhou's West Lake is a lake that was artificially transformed during the Northern Song Dynasty, and the host was Su Shi.
In fact, he was sent to Hangzhou as a criminal official, but he couldn't bear to be taken care of by the Queen Mother, and some disciples were also powerful enough, so he completed a great career in the poetry pairing, and the West Lake became the most famous landmark in Hangzhou from the Northern Song Dynasty to modern times.
Chang'an in the Qin Empire, the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty has been built, the previous glory is really not as scarce as the descendants imagined, Liu Yan chose the new site to build a new city, can not see the previous glory, but really has the ambition to create a thousand-year-old imperial capital, then at the beginning of the construction must be a good foundation, and there are absolutely some artificial lakes.
Standing at a high place as far as eye can see, three artificial lakes in different locations are digging, and the excavated soil is concentrated in one place, Ji Chang looked at one place more than once, which is the place where the soil from the dug lake is used to build the Temple of Heaven.
Of course, the Temple of Heaven is the name of later generations, and people today call it "Tai".
Didn't Liu Yan say that when the new Chang'an was built, it would be the day of enthronement, and if you want to ascend the throne, you don't just pick a random place, change into the emperor's crown clothes, and roar "Lao Tzu is the emperor", and then it's over.
Zhuxia's emperor has a very serious process, the war at the end of Qin burned too many classics, resulting in the early Han Dynasty did not have a set of enthronement ceremonies according to the Zhou rites, Liu Bang's emperor ceremony was constantly criticized by some people, and then there were uncles and grandsons who made up a set of Han family rites by themselves, and then Shusun Tong, a member of Confucianism, was scolded for thousands of years.
It has to be said that Liu Yan's reign ceremony is getting closer and closer, but the entire Han Kingdom is actually extremely blind, because even the enthronement process of the first Han Dynasty cannot be found, and as for the process record of the enthronement ceremony of the Sima family that can be found, it must not be used:
