Chapter 593: Luoyang, the capital of God
Going westward along the Yellow River, several cities passing by, although some repairs, are still dilapidated, even Xingyang City, which is close to Luoyang, is still in ruins. When we entered the Luohe River Basin and continued westward along the Luohe River, I finally saw large tracts of farmland. Occasionally, some soldiers in military uniforms drove cattle to sow the fields.
These people are soldiers, they belong to the soldiers of the military camps. It is said that the soldiers and horses will go first without moving their food and grass. This time the capital is moved to Luoyang. Of course, it will not wait for a large number of people to come over before the real start of land reclamation. If this is the case, dozens of millions For the first year, the food was transported entirely from other places, and this would put too much pressure on the logistics.
Therefore, as early as the beginning of spring last year, Li Yunfei dispatched more than 100,000 troops to implement the military settlement policy near Luoyang. More than 100,000 people were divided into nearly 100 military settlements, and the canals were opened to introduce the water of the Luohe River. , After nearly a year of hard work, more than six million mu of fertile fields have been reclaimed in the lower reaches of the Luo River.
The wheat harvest this spring alone is as high as more than 8 million shi, plus the surplus of grain from the military camp last year, now Luoyang City has hoarded 17 million shi of grain, enough to feed millions of people. It was with this confidence that Li Yunfei dared to move the capital to Luoyang with hundreds of thousands of people.
As one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, Luoyang has always been the core area of Chinese civilization since Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Although it has been destroyed by war and chaos, it has always been reborn and more prosperous. For example, this time Luoyang, the capital of China, was expanded by more than 100 times on the basis of the original Luoyang city. When the ministers saw Li Yunfei's blueprint for the first time, they were shocked by the continuous and magnificent city for a long time and said no. When he spoke, he involuntarily called out the name of Shendu.
Therefore, now Luoyang is also called the capital of God. Luoyang City is located between Luohe Yihe River. The newly expanded Luoyang City extends eastward to the confluence of Luohe River and Yihe River, and then extends westward. Because Luoyang The city is located in a plain area between two large rivers, so the average width of the city is only 5 kilometers, but it is very long in the east-west direction, and the farthest distance is 26 kilometers, so the area of the city is very large.
The reason why Xincheng dared to do this is that it cleverly used two rivers to greatly reduce the pressure on the construction of the city wall. It is said that Li Yunfei's idea was that the new imperial capital did not need a city wall at all, but the adults heard about it. Afterwards, they wrote petitions one after another, and the people also petitioned one after another, hoping to live in a big city with a city wall.
As a Mingjun, of course, he is good at the flow, so he took advantage of the three directions of the southeast and north, with the help of the natural defense type of the two rivers, on the basis of the original river embankment, widened and heightened, and built a more than ten meters wide similar to the ring city. Road-like buildings.
With the 20-meter drop outside the embankment and the hundreds of meters wide river, the defense function is actually much stronger than the city wall, and it can also be used for traffic at ordinary times.
The city wall that really needs to be built only needs to build a city wall about five kilometers long in the west, and easily encircle a vast area of more than 100 square kilometers.
Of course, such a large-scale city cannot be seen within a year with hundreds of thousands of people. In fact, the construction army of hundreds of thousands just repaired the houses in the old city, and the newly expanded places were only constructed. Some drainage, water supply, and transportation infrastructure were built, and then there were open spaces of different sizes. Just like Chulu Jiangcheng, the homestead was directly sold out, allowing people to freely use their imaginations and build their favorite houses.
The total area of the city is as high as 125 square kilometers. It is definitely the largest in the world in this era. It is nearly four times larger than the huge Chang'an City. If those homesteads are completely sold, in principle, it is enough to live in. More than 3 million people, of course, the population is so small now, it will take several years to completely fill this huge god!
...
Since entering the Luo River Basin, Zhen Mi has been looking at the scenery outside from the car window. The Luo River is not far away, and she is a little fascinated. I have to say that a beauty is very charming no matter what she does, even if she just looks out the window in a daze, she still looks very charming.
"...Zhen Meiren, do you feel very cordial when you see Luo He?" Li Yunfei finally leaned over and said something without saying anything.
"Why does Your Majesty ask that? The concubine has never been here before."
"Then why are you so fascinated?"
"...The body of the concubine is a bit strange. How did Your Majesty call the concubine the goddess of Luohe?"
"Uh, did I say that?"
"Yes, at that time, His Majesty came back drunk and said that while holding his concubine!"
"When was that, what did I say at the time... I really don't remember it!"
"I was still in Peiping at the time. That night, His Majesty drank a lot of wine. When he came back, he was a little confused. Seeing the concubine greeted him, he seemed very happy. He helped the concubine behind and said: The goddess is so cool..." Zhen Mi imitated Li Yunfei's tone and said.
"Uh, this, it's really telling the truth after drinking... It's really cool to have **** with you!"
"...What does your majesty mean by that?" Zhen Mi had always been a little puzzled about this. At that time, she thought that Li Yunfei was going to beat her, so she quickly knelt down and apologized, but she didn't expect that Li Yunfei was going to beat her all of a sudden. She was carried to the bed...
"This...beauty, we've been exercising together so many times, have you ever heard the sound of slap slap?" She deliberately bumped her **** a few times.
"...Your Majesty, you are so bad." Finally, he understood the meaning of those words, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Beauty, you are a naked seducer, why don't we have **** again?" Seeing her blushing face, she couldn't tell how much she liked her, so she hugged her and rubbed it around and thought about that.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must pay attention to restraint. It's really bad for your health. Last night, you played with Big and Little Joe in the middle of the night..." Zhen Mi refused. Do what you do.
"Ah, how did you know that?"
"The concubine's homework is insomnia, and I heard it in the middle of the night. The sound of the slap bang came from the carriage of the big Joe!"
"Uh, okay!"
"Your Majesty, tell your concubine why you want to call your concubine the Goddess of Luohe. The concubine is really curious. Your Majesty, you can just tell your concubine." I was afraid that Li Yunfei would be unhappy because he refused, so he was very happy. It's a humble request for advice.
"...This has to start from a long time ago in ancient times, the story is very long!"
"My concubine likes to listen to His Majesty's stories the most. Your Majesty, please tell your concubine."
"It is said that in ancient times, Fuxi and Nuwa had a daughter named Mi Fei Because of her infatuation with the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Luo River, she came to the world and came to the bank of the Luo River..." Li Yunfei directly talked about a myth A story, it is a story anyway, just add some wonderful content by yourself. At this time, people tell stories, usually only a few words, but Li Yunfei is born to be able to talk, so he just turned a small story into a series. It took more than an hour to finish talking.
"Your Majesty thinks that concubine's last life was Concubine Mi?"
"um, yes!"
"...Your Majesty, since Concubine Mi is married to He Bo, why do you still want to get along with Hou Yi?"
"Isn't it stolen? How can this be counted?"
"The concubine thought that since they were all together, it would be better to serve her husband well, just like His Majesty 'robbed' the concubine..."
"Uh, I was wrong, I apologize, I should have asked for your permission first!"
"No, no, the concubine really doesn't mean to complain about His Majesty..." Zhen Mi quickly explained, but at this moment there were cheers from outside, the divine capital Luoyang was about to arrive, and people had already seen a landmark building in the city.
