Chapter 895: The protagonist who reappears after nearly a hundred chapters


"Where have they been?"

"Back to the king, I have arrived at Michi.

Liu Yan stood on the top balcony of Miyagi's tallest building, overlooking the end of the new Chang'an district.

The building is in the shape of a tower, with a total of 13 floors, and the total height is more than 45 meters, including the lightning rod at the spire.

The higher the altitude, the stronger the wind, and now it's winter, I have to say that it still feels quite cold, Liu Yan can only stand it by wearing a fur coat, and the rest of the people are also wearing coats that are thick enough or can cover the wind.

They were now standing facing south, and in addition to Miyagi and the neatly arranged residential areas outside, they could also see the Qinling Mountains in the distance.

When the land is sufficient, the purpose of building a tall building is only two purposes, one is for military purposes, and the other is to stand high and see far.

As a ruler, Liu Yan didn't know when he also liked to climb high and look far away, and see what kind of scenery the country under his rule was.

The entire new Chang'an was shrouded in a snowy white, and it was a heavy snowfall last night.

This year's snow season came at a very timely time, with the snow preceded by a rainy season, signaling the end of the drought and the return of the climate to normal.

Inside the palace, you can see people clearing the snow everywhere, and within the harem area are the palace maids working under the command of the female officials, except for the harem area, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard are working.

After all, Liu Yan still committed the disease that all travelers would commit, that is, he refused the existence of eunuchs.

It's a eunuch, but it's not a eunuch, a eunuch is a eunuch, but a eunuch isn't necessarily a eunuch.

For example, in ancient pre-Qin, the CRRC government order was equivalent to the governor of the Ouchi, and he was not a eunuch, which can explain why Zhao Gao had a biological daughter.

Liu Yan's harem also has people who serve as eunuchs, but they are served by female officials, either others or Li Kuang's wife Zhuo Xiang, who also served as the Linzi Order.

In fact, it is also a bit inappropriate to let the wife of the subordinate serve as the official position of the harem, the emperor is afraid of being cuckolded, is the subordinate worried that he is cuckolded but the current situation is special, and the capable Zhuo Xiang can only serve as a eunuch, and after this period of time, the unmarried female official will be re-selected.

In the city, the streets were also clearing the snow, and the slaves were working.

Slaves were handcuffed and unworn, and the people who supervised their work came from the government, and the army did not do this kind of work.

Snow accumulation such as roofs is cleared by the owners of each building, or several families can work together to divide the work.

Because it is winter, it has snowed a few times recently, and there are not many tourists in the parks and squares around the city, so you can't see the lively scenes of spring, summer, and autumn.

People in parks and squares are usually fathers or mothers with children, or building snowmen, or chasing and playing.

At the same time, there are also people who bring straw mats to watch the snow and drink in the square or park, and occasionally chant poems loudly, or dance a set of ornamental swordsmanship.

If you make any original good poems or good gifts, and drink a few cups of joy by yourself, the people around you will also applaud, but the most popular and loved is the sword dance.

Liu Yan likes to watch the people under his rule play leisurely, and every time he climbs high and looks far away, he will order someone to set up the telescope equipment in advance.

Looking at the various life attitudes of the people under his rule will make him feel that all his efforts and efforts have their due value.

The palace is not all flat land, in fact, according to the ancient requirements of the special cover of some mountains, especially some halls and other buildings will be deliberately piled up high foundations to build palaces, even if they are not built on the top of the mountain.

The higher the terrain, the more majestic the building looks, and the second is to prevent waterlogging.

This is the reason why, even if there is no natural topography, choosing to build a palace group will artificially raise the foundation.

The size of the whole palace city accounts for about one-tenth of the new Chang'an City, in addition to the palace group and pavilions, chapter platform, the necessary forest garden, amusement garden, soup pond and other supporting facilities must also have.

Leisure places account for three-four tenths of Miyagi, and then two-third of the tenths are actually office areas, necessary garrisons and military exercises, and then there is the harem area, and naturally there is no shortage of Zongmiao area.

The so-called harem is not a place specially used by Liu Yan to decorate women, including the main dormitory and side halls for various purposes, the residences of various princes and princesses, the main hall of the queen, and the pavilions and chapters of each concubine and below rank.

That's right, in addition to Liu Yan and Cui Wan who are qualified to live in the palace, including the prince, the princess and the concubine, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, Jing'e, Ronghua and other people can only live in the pavilion or Zhangtai, and the other person who is qualified for the main palace is the prince.

Since Liu Yan has no elders, the palace for the elders to live in is built and roughly into a state of sealing, and it will not be rebuilt until he is willing to abdicate or die, and Cui Wan is still alive.

At present, there are 470,000 permanent residents who have obtained household registration in the new Chang'an, and more than 1.5 million people include garrisons, floating populations, and slaves, but it still only fills about 60 percent of the entire city, and many urban areas are either simply reserved for vacant land or buildings with only one frame.

Speaking of which, the number of slaves staying in New Chang'an is somewhat large, reaching 670,000.

They had to finish their work before they were transferred to another place to continue their work.

In order to take care of as many as 670,000 slaves, there were as many as 160,000 garrisons in New Chang'an, 160,000 of non-Praetorian Guards, and nearly 300,000 troops in the entire Chang'an City of the Praetorian Guards.

Ten years after Yuan Shuo, Liu Yan expanded the Praetorian Guard, no longer limited to the system army, and would select suitable candidates from the standing army, and the number of the Praetorian Guard has increased to 130,000 under repeated expansion.

The Praetorian Guards stationed in New Chang'an were not only responsible for the security of the palace city, but also for the defense of the capital, and would go on expeditions when necessary.

"What is the plan for Huan Wen to put down the war and return to China" Liu Yan heard the footsteps, and he could hear that the person was Xu Zheng: "What's the new news about the war over there in Gupta The person who came was Xu Zheng, he was not dressed in full arms, he was also dressed in fur, or made of polar bear fur rewarded by Liu Yan, which could be all white or dark yellow from different angles.

In fact, the hair of the polar bear is "colorless", simply put, its hair is actually a small transparent tube, as for the human eye to see the polar bear's coat color will be "white", because the inner surface of the hair is rough and uneven, the light is refracted very messy, and it is naturally white when staying in the ice and snow.

And each hair scatters the sun's rays that come in.

So it leads to a very messy problem, the polar bear's fur will actually refract different colors with different environments, and even look at different angles.

How could Liu Yan have the fur of a polar bear, didn't he always send a fleet to explore the Bering Strait Liu Yan is serious about finding the North American continent, and there are many things that have been derived, one of which is the harvest of fur from polar bears, and more importantly, the discovery of the island named Guam in modern times.

Xu Zheng was working on the words in his head.

If you follow the normal procedures, Huan Wen did not get the order of the center to return to China privately, it depends on how Huan Wen returned to China.

The first is that Huan Wen returns with the army, so for whatever reason, as long as he brings more soldiers than the personal guard limit, it will undoubtedly be regarded as a rebellion.

If Huan Wen is alone or only with a limited number of guards, there is no escape from the definition of dereliction of duty, no matter what the reason.

But there's something to say about it, like this one.

"Your Majesty, General Zhengnan has largely swept away Gupta and is only left with some inconsequential finishes."

Xu Zheng couldn't figure out what Liu Yan was thinking, so he continued to say at risk: "General Zhengnan returned to China this time, and only brought ten personal guards, and the rest were soldiers of the expeditionary force who had made special merits, and the number was sixty-two. ” Liu Yan seemed to be asking what to do with the Taiwei Bureau "The minister happened to get news from Gupta."

Xu Zheng kept staring at Liu Yan's heels as he spoke: "Vaga Tuojia took the initiative to retreat from the occupied territory and withdrew the army to the country.

The two Satraps sent people to Fahrenheit City to find Yuan Changshi to discuss the withdrawal of the army, mainly to obtain compensation from other aspects."

As for the fact that Vagathaga and the two Satraps would take the initiative to withdraw their troops, Liu Yan had speculated before.

Liu Yan admired Vagatha's knowledge of current affairs, and even more appreciated the courage of the two Satraps to bargain for benefits.

"How to ensure the complete acquisition of the Gupta Dynasty's territory is a matter for the Taiwei Administration."

Liu Yan's voice didn't sound like there were any ups and downs, so he couldn't tell whether he was in a happy mood or bad: "How to deal with the follow-up things is the responsibility of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Honglu Pavilion." ” Xu Zhengming knew that Liu Yan didn't have eyes on the back of his head and still saluted, so he relaxed and said, "Speaking of Honglu Pavilion, they have been busy recently. ” "Yes" The corners of Liu Yan's mouth hooked: "Tens of thousands of people from afar" Liu Yan didn't go to mention the prisoners of war in the Three Continents and the like, when the time came, he was only responsible for watching the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, and someone would introduce everyone who was qualified to be introduced to him on the side, including the country, status, name, and so on.

The relevant subordinates of the Honglu Pavilion have long been busy with their feet on the ground, mainly busy with the emperor ceremony, and this matter alone is worth their greatest enthusiasm to get busy, not only will they put an end to any accidents, but also do things perfectly.

"Dahan doesn't have the rule of welcoming visitors from foreign countries and treating them a thousand times over."

Liu Yan is aware of the customs of modern countries towards official diplomats, such as how much money is given according to different specifications: "Tens of thousands of people come, and the merchants of Chang'an will be very happy." ” Of course, Xu Zheng knew that what Liu Yan said was right, he had heard that those foreign visitors had been buying and buying since they came ashore, and they were also buying and buying all the way to New Chang'an
