The two-month long journey finally came to an end, when Liu Xie saw the new outline of Luoyang City, he was finally relieved, the last time he sent troops to Nanyang, he was not so tired, the two-month journey, for him, was a kind of torment, today, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of people near Luoyang" Yuxiu wiped the glass of the window and looked out of the window curiously.
Can it not be more, although Liu Bei said that he lost a battle, and even folded Zhang Fei, but at his insistence, most of the population of the four counties of Yingchuan was migrated to Heluo, and all of a sudden, the population in the Heluo area skyrocketed from the previous 100,000 to nearly 2 million, and even according to Zhu Jun, the entire Luoyang City was replanned because of this.
"Huang Zhong's department has arrived" Liu Xie shook his head, ignoring the two personal maids who were a little excited, and turned his head to look at Wei Zhongdao beside him.
"Back to Your Majesty, General Huang's army has arrived in Luoyang ten days ago."
Wei Zhong bowed down and said, "This time, Mr.
Fengxiao also came back with the army. ” "Let them go to the palace to see me as soon as possible" Liu Xie nodded, the current rebellion in Shuzhong has not been extinguished, but with Wei Yan in charge, it is enough, there is no need to leave all the 50,000 elites of the imperial court there, after all, according to intelligence, in addition to the 50,000 main army, in fact, with the financial support of Qin Yong, there are as many as 50,000 combat troops secretly raised, plus the troops collected and surrendered by all parties, Shuzhong is actually not short of troops and does not need fierce generals now, and the most important thing in Shuzhong now is actually to restore order as soon as possible.
With a large number of new officials taking office, order in Shuzhong will slowly be restored before support can be given to the Central Plains.
"This time the princes jointly attacked the imperial court, but the emperor's uncle Liu Biao never spoke, I don't know what happened in Jingzhou, and sent more people to investigate the information in Jingzhou, so as not to make it short."
Sitting on the dragon chair, Liu Xie is now concerned about the battle situation in Luoyang, since he has arrived, it is enough to play a role in calming the people's hearts, and he is more concerned about the attitude of the princes in this matter.
Cao Cao's hostility to the imperial court should not be heavy, this time it was completely the result of being kidnapped by the family, otherwise Cao Cao after defeating Liu Bei, with his troops, could have entered the Tiger Prison Pass or Xuanyuan Pass, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the imperial court had not arrived, and seized Luoyang first, which was of great significance to the princes, but Cao Cao was only stationed in the Wei clan and did not take the initiative to attack again.
Sun Ce is the same, the most hostile to him is probably the Yuan brothers plus the Chen father and son in Xuzhou, the tripartite forces, and this time, Liu Xie's key target, no matter what, these people joined forces to blatantly oppose the imperial court, and they have completely broken with the imperial court.
What Liu Xie cares about the most is the movement of Jingzhou, judging from Liu Biao's performance in the past, Liu Xie has the intention to stand on his side, Liu Xie's most difficult time, Liu Biao has been helping Liu Xie, sending food and people, but this time, the princes are so powerful, Liu Biao has no reaction, even if it is inclined to the side of the family, it should be normal to send a few letters to advise, but since the third year of Xingping, Liu Biao seems to have broken off contact with Liu Xie, even if it is the secret guard mansion, it is impossible to detect Liu Biao's movements.
There has been no information about Liu Biao for nearly a year, which makes Liu Xie very concerned about what happened in Jingzhou "Huh" Wei Zhong agreed, and left to arrange for someone to pass the order.
After continuing to drive for an hour, the frame stopped outside Luoyang City, and it was not easy for such a giant frame to enter the city, so whether it was in Chang'an or Luoyang, the two Liu Xie's special frames were parked in a special place outside the city.
Zhu Jun had already waited outside the city with a group of Luoyang officials to greet Liu Xie.
"The old general has done a good job, I haven't seen you for a year, this Luoyang Luoyang City has changed."
Liu Xie stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Jun up, looked at Luoyang City, which was already quite majestic, and smiled.
"Thanks to Your Majesty's efforts, if it weren't for the assistance of the Ministry of Industry, the reconstruction of Luoyang City would not have been so smooth."
Zhu Jun hurriedly bowed down and said, he really can't take the credit for this matter, because of the appearance of cement, the construction period has been shortened a lot, and the consumption is less, if the city was built with eggs and glutinous rice before, not to mention the construction speed, the consumption is an amazing number, the glutinous rice used to build the city is the top of the last army's food for a year, even if he is bold, he does not dare to waste so much food to expand Luoyang City when the war is coming.
As for the prosperity of Luoyang City now, it has nothing to do with him, and now the population of Heluo Land is basically brought by Liu Bei, and the food used is also specially sent from Chang'an with a wooden car, I have to say that the appearance of the track is very critical to appease the people of the four counties this time, but it is precisely because of this frequent use that the track was washed away by heavy rain and destroyed a lot.
"Credit is indispensable."
Liu Xie shook his head, and led the ministers into Luoyang City accompanied by Zhu Jun.
After re-planning and expansion, the streets of Luoyang City are paved with cement, the main street is as wide as five zhang, and the ten horses will not feel crowded, there are many shops on both sides, all of them are small buildings built with cement, restaurants, inns, Qinlou Chu Pavilion, the buildings on the main road, almost all of them are more than two-story buildings, and even Liu Xie saw a lot of large inns or green buildings that cover an area of not small, with the emergence of cement, Stone buildings have also begun to be gradually promoted among the people, and as the future imperial capital, Luoyang City has rarely been able to see the wooden buildings of the past.
Behind the polished glass windows, many people looked curiously through the windows.
"Because of the relationship of time, only the Jiade Hall in the South Palace has been rebuilt, and the rest of the palaces have not had time to be rebuilt, and the North Palace where His Majesty lives has been built, and the main building is modeled after the Chengming Palace."
The speed of everyone's march was not fast, and it took a full hour to arrive at the North Palace, Zhu Jun pointed to the North Palace with some excitement, the palace as high as ten zhang and smiled: "This hall is in accordance with His Majesty's words, in the name of Qiankun, there are nine floors, between the floors, first built with the latest Luoyang glass developed by the Ministry of Industry, although it is ten zhang high, but it is very stable. ” Ten zhang high, more than 20 meters, in the future is not a low-rise building, this kind of building, in this era, the most worrying is probably whether its structure can support such a high floor Liu Xie looked at Zhu Jun suspiciously: "What is Luoyang Glass?"
"Back to Your Majesty, recently the Ministry of Industry has been thinking about what to use to replace the wooden rail, because the texture of the wooden rail is calculated according to several scholars of the Ministry of Industry, it is impossible to resist Tianwei, even if it is lacquered, it is not easy to hold for a long time, and the glass is very durable, and the cost is not expensive, but the texture is fragile, if it is used as a track material, it is not suitable, it is the recently announced people are thinking about how to make the glass stronger."
"This Luoyang glass is a product after an accident, the craftsmen found that although the impurities of this thing should not be removed, but it is very strong, and can withstand high temperatures, the Ministry of Industry has begun to use this thing as a furnace, can refine better weapons, and the metal texture is better, these few months, a lot of fine iron has been trained."
Zhu Jun smiled and said: "If it weren't for the fact that fine iron is too precious, the craftsmen feel that in fact, fine iron is the most suitable material for tracks, but Luoyang glass is also good, as long as it is not damaged by man, it is also very durable, and the craftsmen have begun to make some tracks, just waiting for trial." ” Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this, and used glass to make a track This Luoyang glass should be something similar to tempered glass, but Liu Xie doesn't know much about the process, only knows that glass can actually have high strength, and glass is used to make steel Liu Xie shook his head and did not ask again, since the Ministry of Industry already has their direction and goals, there is no need to forcibly break it back, which will make the Ministry of Industry lose its ability to innovate, the advancement of the times, always have to try, who can say that glass must be inferior to iron is more suitable for tracks, especially now that the mining technology is not very perfect, the resources of iron ore are very limited, and finding some alternative resources is also a way out.
If it is successful, it means that the track can start to be laid throughout the territory "It's a lot of cost" Looking at the palace in front of him that was more magnificent than the Chengming Palace, Liu Xie couldn't help but sigh, such a building is enough to become the first in the world in this era, well, the second is the Chengming Palace, but even if the court built it itself, the financial resources consumed are probably not low.
Zhu Jun nodded when he heard this, such a palace, even if it only considers the cost of materials, it is a lot, not to mention, the imperial court does not have the habit of arrears of salaries, plus all kinds of labor, the cost of this Qiankun Palace alone will be on top of the entire Luoyang City, because the Qiankun Palace is not a single building, it can almost be regarded as a conjoined city, and the open-air corridor above can even be regarded as a street.
Spending a lot of money to build this Qiankun Palace, it is not without the intention of currying favor with Liu Xie, but naturally he can't say that, Zhu Jun hurriedly bowed down and said: "Not only are ministers, but all craftsmen are also quite enthusiastic about this matter, after all, it is His Majesty's bedroom, so naturally it can't be too cold." ” So in Luoyang City, another city was built for me Liu Xie glanced at Zhu Jun amusedly, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said: "Since it has been built, it is impossible for me to dismantle it, and I will settle it later, I am afraid that the wages of these craftsmen will not be paid, and I will reallocate money from my treasury for a while, and give these craftsmen." ” "Whoa" t1706231537:
