Chapter 188 Soldiers approach Xianyang City
"Your Majesty, you are too impulsive..."
After seeing off the three elders, Xiao He expressed his attitude.
No matter what, these three elders still have great influence in Guanzhong.
There are three elders everywhere, not just in Guanzhong.
And now every step the Han army makes is watched by countless people.
If you can't handle it well here, then when you go to other places, others will be more prepared, and it will be more difficult for them to deal with it then.
"The king is not impulsive at all. The issue of cultivated land is the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Our policy is to prevent certain people from annexing the cultivated land of the people and to prevent the people from selling their land because they cannot pay taxes. Although it is possible
There is a possibility that the land is actually transferred but still in the name of the original owner. Once this situation is investigated, it must be dealt with seriously. Military advisors must not forget that the Han Dynasty's scouts are not vegetarians." Zhang Buyi on the side directly replaced the king.
Not hungry replied.
In his opinion, these three elders are the representatives of Guanzhong's powerful people.
How could the land in Guanzhong be annexed without even taking a look?
If you really get what they want, you will be picking sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
"The situation in Guanzhong is very good, but I am worried that these people will do bad things..." Xiao He continued.
About the scouts of the Han Dynasty.
This was the thing that left Xiao He speechless the most. These people were like roundworms in their stomachs.
There is no hole that cannot be drilled, and there is no hole that cannot be penetrated.
Although he didn't know the situation of the Han's scouts deployed in Guanzhong, they should have had some results.
Because this journey has been so smooth, and there are shadows of scouting activities everywhere.
"Military advisor, please take it easy, these people can't do anything bad. Although the king's move will make the local powerful people strongly dissatisfied, it is useless. More than 80% of the people in Guanzhong will support the king." Zhang Buyi smiled.
said.
"Eighty percent?" Xiao He couldn't help but gasped.
According to this data and my own guess, doesn't it mean that the scouts have already grasped more than 80% of the people who lost more than half of the land in Guanzhong?
The more Xiao He thought about it, the more depressed he became. King Han's deployment was so powerful that it was completely beyond ordinary people's imagination. It was impossible to play with it.
Fortunately, I obeyed the King of Han, otherwise...
"Hehe, doesn't this also have a knife..." Zhang Buyi said again in a coquettish manner.
Cooperation is best. If not, the Han army's blade will be sharp.
According to common sense, if you don't flex your muscles when you arrive at a new place, some people won't remember it for a long time.
Xiao He was speechless for a while, but also very helpless.
What Zhang Buyi said makes sense.
Although killing is not a good thing, sometimes not killing can be a bad thing.
The three elders in the surrounding counties dispersed, and the Han army, which had planned to stay for three days, no longer needed to stay for so long.
After all, the situation in Zhao State is very dire, so it’s not appropriate for me to go shopping here all the time.
Wang Buxu asked the scouts to pay more attention to the reactions of the three elders after they returned, and then prepared to leave.
…
The third year of Qin II, the first year of Han, late April.
Twenty days after crossing Hangu Pass, 150,000 Han troops arrived at Xianyang City.
Even though Wang Buxu, who was used to seeing super cities in later generations, was still shocked by the magnificence of this city when he came to Xianyang for the first time.
Many soldiers in the team were also a little stunned. In their opinion, how could it be possible to build such a large city?
He is more than a circle older than Luoyang, and he looks more impressive.
The entire Xianyang City spans the north and south banks of the Wei River.
To the north of the Wei River is the Palace of the Six Kingdoms built by Qin Shihuang after he unified the six kingdoms. Perhaps to show off his achievements, it was built in a very grand manner, but compared with the Palace of Qin, it is still a little weak.
To the south of the Wei River are the once-built Zhangtai, Shanglin Garden, Jianxin Palace, the corridor leading to the front hall of Ganquan, and the Abang Palace built in Shanglin Garden, which has not yet been completed but has been stopped.
Just the royal palaces that Wang Buxu saw seemed bigger than the Forbidden City together.
The biggest feature of Xianyang City is that its construction layout is very unique.
It does not mean that it is surrounded by a palace wall and the palace is inside.
There are also palaces and imperial palaces, but in addition to these, there are many palaces scattered in all directions.
Xianyang City is also the first capital city with divergent construction in the world today.
"Your Majesty, compared with this place, our Luoyang is just like the thatched houses in the village..." Zhang Buyi felt sour in his heart.
"When we get rich in the future, let's build Luoyang bigger and more impressive!" Wang Buxu nodded, agreeing very much.
The role of the capital is still very important, that is, it represents the face of the dynasty.
Historically during the Sui Dynasty, when the countries from the Western Regions came to Chang'an and saw the majestic Chang'an City, they were instantly frightened by the Sui Dynasty's national power. They trembled and did not dare to invade for many years.
During the Tang Dynasty, due to poverty and policy reasons, Chang'an City was not even repaired.
After the countries from the Western Regions came, oh, he was so impressive back then, but now he looks like a bird? It seems that the Tang Dynasty's national power is not enough, and it can't even build a capital city, so let him...
Therefore, during that period, the Western Regions were not very convinced by the Tang Dynasty. It was not until the army marched north that the Tian Khan was created.
"If the king likes it, just move here. The Qin Dynasty even tried to destroy the country to build this city for the king, so why bother to build a new one? It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it can easily cause dissatisfaction among the people." Xiao He smiled.
said.
It is indeed a pity that such a good city and such a beautiful palace should be abandoned like this.
Of course, he was also afraid that the king would not be hungry and would not care about anything, so he directly ordered the construction of the palace. The early Han Dynasty could not afford it.
"Although Xianyang is good, now is not the time to enjoy it alone." Wang Buxu shook his head.
He didn't lie. Historically, the reason why Liu Bang built Chang'an City was because Xiang Yu burned Xianyang City and there was no value in repairing it.
Otherwise, Liu Bang is a scoundrel? Why not use the existing capital and build a new city?
Having said this, Wang Buxian couldn't help it anymore.
So he looked at the bustling Xianyang City and said: "When the people in the world beg me to enjoy it, I will enjoy it..."
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say..." Zhang Buyi quickly reminded.
Xiao He laughed and said: "Then the king may not have the chance to live in such a palace..."
"No, Gu bet that Gu will definitely move in within ten years!" Wang Buxu smiled mysteriously.
If a palace is built for enjoyment, then the people of the world will definitely be dissatisfied.
But if you turn the construction of a palace into an infrastructure project, then people all over the world will beg you to build it, and it won't work if you don't.
Wang Buxu already had an idea. Now he would just sit back and wait for a disaster year.
Working for relief, he also gained fame and built a palace. Isn't this a good life for him?
Just as he was talking, Guan Ying led a young man over.
