Chapter 149 Renovation Landscape, Future Plans

Crunch, crunch...

A carriage drove slowly into the capital. When it reached the door, the people in the carriage came out, their faces full of excitement.

"The capital city."

This man is dressed in white and is quite elegant. He is Lu Wuyou, Su Yuan's internal affairs talent.

After Su Yuan captured the capital, he sent him a letter asking him to come from Taiyuan to the capital to help. After several days of journey, he finally arrived.

Lu Wuyou looked at the Zhenbei Army standing guard at the gate of the capital, feeling indescribable joy in his heart.

Unlike Su Yuan and others, he had been to the capital before. As a member of several big families in Mozhou, he had been to the capital when he was a boy. However, what he got after coming was disappointment.

He originally thought that the capital city would be different from Taiyuan, but after arriving, he discovered that the so-called capital city was just a Taiyuan that was a few sizes larger.

Maybe there will be more places to have fun, but the descendants of the official families are running rampant and the common people are struggling on the edge of survival. These are exactly the same as in Taiyuan.

Now that the Bei'an Army has occupied it, everything is different. Although the occupation has not been long ago, the vitality similar to when Taiyuan was first transformed has already been faintly reflected.

Lu Wuyou didn't want to ride in the carriage anymore. He walked on the street, watching as he walked.

He saw that although many people were tired, they had smiles on their faces. The new tax policy has been implemented in the capital. Without the pressure of heavy taxes, the people will naturally feel a lot more relaxed.

However, Lu Wuyou also noticed that there were many traces of arson in the city.

Su Yuan also mentioned this matter in the previous letter to him. Lu Wuyou was not surprised. He knew very well that those princes and nobles looked down on Su Yuan from the bottom of their hearts, and even looked down on the common people at the bottom.

For them, even if some good things are thrown away and destroyed, they will not be used by people who are of low status in their eyes. Therefore, they set fire to the city before escaping, which is really in line with their nature.

But for the people in the capital, this must be a huge harm.

When Lu Wuyou arrived at the ruins of the inner city palace, he immediately saw Su Yuan working.

He trotted over quickly, came to Su Yuan and smiled: "I have met the prince!"

Su Yuan was also very happy to see Lu Wuyou: "Wuyou, you're finally here. I'm almost exhausted and I'm short of people."

"Haha, I would also like to congratulate the prince for successfully capturing the capital!"

"Yes. We captured it, but we lost a boatload of people. Before old Qingxiang died, he also appointed Crown Prince Zhou Cheng. I guess Zhou Cheng has already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River by now."

"We can escape for a while, but we cannot escape forever. Your Majesty will definitely be able to capture them all," Lu Wuyou said.

Su Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, I think so too."

The two chatted for a while, and Lu Wuyou looked at the large ruins behind and asked, "My lord, do you plan to build a big mansion here?"

"Big mansion? What kind of mansion should I build?"

"Then... palace?"

Su Yuan looked at Lu Wuyou strangely and said, "Wuyou, what are you talking about?"

Lu Wuyou smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is the capital! You should know in your heart that now that you have captured this place, you are also sitting on the two states of Moqing, and the two states of Xu and Qin, which are both north of the Qinjiang River, can also be said to be in your pocket.

With such a large territory, you can already ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor!"

"Ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor..." Su Yuan shook his head, "Let's forget it for now."

Lu Wuyou was a little puzzled. He thought this matter was part of Su Yuan's plan.

"It's not that I'm not interested in being an emperor, but a lot of things are too troublesome. I don't want to do nothing all day long and just sit in a beautiful palace and look up and down. Let's wait until the whole Jiangnan is conquered... As for

In fact, I have a vision for this area behind, not to build a palace, but to build a big park!"

As Su Yuan spoke, his expression became excited.

"garden……?"

Lu Wuyou was naturally confused.

Su Yuan pointed at the ruins of the wall seriously and said: "Yes, it's a park. You see, this is located in the center of the city, connected to the Central Street, and easily accessible from the southeast to the northwest. In such a geomantic treasure land, a palace and a mansion, in addition to

What’s the point of letting the people know that the people living there are noble?”

"Why not build a large park and garden as a relaxing and leisure entertainment place, so that the people in the city can come and hang out when they have nothing to do? Isn't this much more meaningful than building a palace?"

Lu Wuyou: "..."

He really didn't expect Su Yuan would have this idea, but after thinking about it, it really fit Su Yuan's style.

Moreover, the people of the capital in the past would not have had time to play in such a large garden, which was free and open to the public. They had to run around endlessly every day just to fill their stomachs, so there was no time for entertainment.

But under the new policy, there will still be time. Although it is still far from the modern eight-hour work system, at least there will be three or four hours of leisure every day.

The entertainment methods of ordinary people are very expensive. They basically play chess, fight crickets, and go to teahouses to drink tea... These are naturally not as competitive as large gardens. Moreover, Su Yuan also plans to put some rare treasures.

, there are paintings and calligraphy by famous artists, a museum or something like that, to enrich your spiritual life.

"Your Majesty has such a wonderful idea, and I am so inferior to you." Lu Wuyou certainly had no objections, and he was very happy in his heart. To be honest, on the way here, he was worried whether Su Yuan would change after he captured the bustling capital.

Do you need to start craving for pleasure?

This kind of thing has happened many times in the past. The dragon slayer turned into a dragon, which was an extraordinary feat. Now seeing Su Yuan personally working on the construction site on a hot day, and building a large free garden at the location of the original palace... This made Lu Wu

You determined that Su Yuan had not changed, he was still the same Su Yuan he was in Taiyuan!

"Haha, just support me. Then I'll leave it to you to take care of the money cost." Su Yuan said, "Of course there are many other tasks. The capital is so big and there are too many things in all aspects.

, we need to promote a group of conscientious officials as soon as possible, so that the original Beijing officials are basically no longer needed."

"My subordinates understand." Lu Wuyou came to the capital to do work, so he would not refuse. On the contrary, he was very willing to do it. The more, the better. After all, this is the capital, and what he and Su Yuan are doing right now

Things are also fulfilling his dreams.

"By the way, Wuyou, how is the current situation in Mozhou?" Su Yuan asked. He had been away from Taiyuan for a long time and was a little unfamiliar with the situation in Mozhou.

Lu Wuyou said: "You don't need to worry about it, the prince. All matters in Mozhou are on the right track. Not only Mozhou, but also Beirong, several Rongdi tribes have also stabilized. Some of them have even moved.

Go to various cities in Mozhou to seek a stable life."

"That's fine." Su Yuan heard this and thought for a while. "The resources in Beirong are scarce and it is indeed not suitable for survival. Those tribes can move inland if they want, but they must treat everyone equally and don't discriminate after moving in.

Don’t hold it either.”

"Of course this subordinate understands. I have asked Geshana and others to teach the Rong people how to speak Zhou dialect."

"Ah...that's not bad."

Geshana Su Yuan, who taught Beirong dialect, also remembers that Jiawu seemed to have gone to learn Beirong dialect from her since he stopped working as a killer. Now he doesn't know what happened.

Looking back now, Su Yuan still misses the people and things in Mozhou, but he misses them so much that he definitely doesn't have time to go back to Taiyuan or Mozhou now.

"One more thing." Lu Wuyou remembered something at this time and asked Su Yuan for his opinion, "Your Majesty, I went to Qingzhou before coming here. General Chu asked me to ask you when to attack Xuzhou and Qinzhou. He also wants to

Join the war."

"Changning..."

Su Yuan nodded.

The previous attack on the capital was a bit hasty, and Qingzhou left before the army was completely defeated. In order to stabilize the situation there, Su Yuan left Chu Changning behind and asked him to guard Qingzhou.

Now that the capital has fallen, Chu Changning must feel a little regretful that he was unable to participate in this battle. For this reason, he does not want to miss the subsequent battles.

"Actually, I want to clean up the mess in the capital first, and then attack Qin and Xuzhou."

"Your Majesty, I don't think the Qin and Xu states need to fight." Lu Wuyou had already thought about it before he came, and expressed his opinion at this moment, "Perhaps Your Majesty just needs to send an envoy over to clarify the interests, and we can win without a fight."

"I'm afraid this won't work." Su Yuan shook his head, "I understand what you mean, Wuyou, and what you promised, 'If you change sides and take off your armor and show courtesy, you still won't lose your position as a high official.' But I have never done it.

That kind of thing."

Su Yuan has attacked so many places, but he has never done anything like sending envoys there to tell people that if they surrender, they can continue to be high-ranking officials, continue to be popular and drink spicy food, etc. He always defeats them first, and then kills those who are officials

They were all arrested, convicted and fined after settling old scores.

After doing this so many times, the officials in other places must have understood. Knowing that you like to settle old scores, how could you still be persuaded to surrender? Maybe with the idea of ​​killing someone without losing money, just kill the envoy you sent there first.

Well, that's not a pure loss.

When Lu Wuyou heard the words, he thought about it carefully and nodded: "What the prince said is indeed reasonable, but my subordinates didn't think carefully."

"Actually, what you said is not entirely wrong." Su Yuandao, "Persuading surrender may not work, but I guess there won't be any hard beatings like before. The governors of Qinzhou and Xuzhou are not fools, they must know how to fight.

But I, maybe I am planning to escape to Jiangnan now... maybe I have already escaped."

"In this way, when the army moves over, the city may be captured without fighting at all. That's why I say there is no rush."

Su Yuan had already planned this matter in his mind, so there was no need to rush and he would take his time. When the capital was almost completely rebuilt, he would be able to accumulate many summons.

This is very important, it would be no exaggeration to say it is the most important.

Because at present, the intelligence of his army has been almost known to the enemy after several battles.

The enemies in Jiangnan don't know that he has the All-Heaven Soldier Talisman. But they know that he can summon skeleton soldiers, speed up and slow down soldiers, and has many powerful crossbows... All this information has been leaked, so the enemy will naturally make certain preparations and

For work.

Su Yuan didn't want to cross the river in a hurry, leading a group of soldiers who the enemy already knew well that nothing had changed, and making them unable to find the way...
