"Kaifeng City needs to be renovated!" Liu Chengyou said with emotion as he stood on the pavilion and looked down at the Tokyo city.
The First Emperor destroyed Wei, and Qin general Wang Ben attacked Daliang and flooded it with water. The capital of Wei was destroyed. In the following hundreds of years, Kaifeng City has been in a state of decline. From the Eastern Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the city of Kaifeng was in a state of decline. When it was called Liang, Bianzhou was first established and governed as a state. It was not until the mid-Tang Dynasty that Prime Minister Li Mian established Bianzhou in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt Daliang. It has been more than 170 years since then.
Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and established Liang Dynasty, and promoted Bianzhou to Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital of Jin and Han Dynasties. With half a century of development, Kaifeng has completely replaced Yong and Luo and become the political, military, cultural and economic center of the north.
However, after decades of rapid development, the ancient and backward city has been unable to adapt to the social economy and cannot assume the function of being the capital of a great country. Since the past dynasties, Kaifeng has been repaired and restored, but they are all based on the original city. Carry out sewing.

Therefore, nowadays, the city of Kaifeng in Liu Chengyou's eyes is inherently prosperous, but what he feels more deeply is that it is messy and dirty. When he came out to observe the people's sentiments, he wanted to observe its shortcomings.
This was not the first time that Liu Chengyou lamented that the city of Kaifeng was small and the roads were crowded. The sanitation situation in the entire city was particularly worrying, with sewage converging, poor drainage, and blocked waterways. Especially in summer, the smell of decay and putridity increased. Cities will be captured, especially markets. The system of separate and closed markets is becoming more and more backward, especially in Kaifeng, which has an increasingly strong commercial atmosphere.
Residential houses are dense and congested, and people are often disturbed by fireworks. If they are not serious, they will be worried about flooding. Basically, every month, fires occur in the city, and most of them are concentrated in residential buildings. Under the blue sky and white sun, looking around, You can also see the smell of fireworks. If it is morning and evening, the entire outer city of Tokyo is even more densely covered with smoke.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of urban planning. Kaifeng's ancient urban foundation is in serious conflict with the development needs of an imperial capital. In addition, the Kaifeng government's urban management capabilities are seriously lacking.
Regardless of the fact that Hou Yi has carried out two vigorous rectifications since he became the governor of Kaifeng, but these only met the most basic needs of Kaifeng's public security, and were far from the smooth and prosperous governance.
Of course, no matter how many shortcomings Kaifeng has, they cannot conceal its geographical and economic advantages.
"Tokyo is already so gorgeous, why do you still want to renovate it?" Zhe Xiaoniang looked at Liu Chengyou's side cheek and asked.
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou took a deep breath, tilted his head and asked softly: "Besides the smell of grass, trees, fireworks, what else can you smell in the air?"
Qinglian's eyes were full of doubts, and Xiaoniang Zhe showed a delicate look, tried to take a breath, felt it carefully, frowned slightly, and said: "It seems to have a faint sour smell."
Nodding, Liu Chengyou went straight to a street not far away, passing by pedestrians, and continued to ask: "That road is the main road here. Do you think it might be blocked by traffic?"
Zhe Xiaoniang looked at it, thought for a moment, and shook her head: "I'm afraid not!"
The market roads here are narrow and crowded, and the width of the road is barely passable, but the word "barely" is enough to highlight the inconvenience.
Seeing that Miss Zhe had some thoughts on her face and seemed to have gained something, Liu Chengyou was secretly pleased with her intelligence. He turned around and pointed to the south: "Look at that boat, it's going hard. How much time will it take to get to Bei City?"
Following the direction of Liu Chengyou's finger, one could see a small boat on the tributary of Bianshui River, loaded with goods, traveling through the waterway, and wanted to go to the city. However, due to the obstruction of roads and buildings, it had to go around in a circle before entering the city.
"I don't know!" Zhe Xiaoniang thought for a while, shook her head, but after a moment, she said firmly: "But, I understand what Mr. Lang means!"
Seeing that Miss Zhe understood his idea so quickly, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but feel happy, and secretly sighed in his heart, she was worthy of being "Mr. She", she was indeed a strange woman, an extraordinary and unmatched man.
"It's a pity that I want to cultivate but can't!" Liu Chengyou sighed sadly again.
"Why?" Xiaoniang Zhe's curiosity was indeed aroused.
Liu Chengyou spread his hands and expressed helplessness: "Without money and food, how can we rebuild?"
Zhe Xiaoniang didn't say anything silly about how the emperor could have no money. Instead, she showed an understanding look and said with relief: "When you have money, you can fix it!"
Hearing his simple words, Liu Chengyou nodded and couldn't help but smile.
Of course, when the court has money, it will probably have to wait. Today's Han court, except for normal administrative and military expenditures, does not dare to spend money randomly. Recently, the only big expenditure is to allocate river works.
Just as Wang Pu expected in his previous post, after the Beginning of Xia, the "Han Xing Tong" was compiled and issued to the world, and more than fifty young officials were recruited from the court and Kinki to study the "Xing Tong" .
"Xingtong" was written over a total of thirteen months, adhering to Liu Chengyou's original will. In addition to making revisions, additions and deletions as appropriate, it was based on the old law and briefly described to make it easy to understand.
Of course, this "easy to understand" also has thresholds and steps, and it cannot be understood by knowing a few words. In these years when literature was not popular, the overall quality of the world's literati has degraded, and most literati , For the old method, for those who are unfamiliar and complicated, even if you study it with a diligent attitude and understand it, you may not be able to explain it clearly.
Liu Chengyou selected people to practice law from Kaifeng Prefecture, Dali, the Ministry of Justice, and the Yushitai. This was to train legal talents for the court. A new department was established, called the Legal Supervisor, who was recommended by Fan Zhi to serve the Yushitai. Zhang Shi is the prison chief. As long as these people are successful in learning, they will be sent to prefectures and counties all over the world to serve as prison judges.
At the same time, in order to promote the "Xing Tong", Liu Chengyou issued an imperial edict to all the people in the world to go to the state capitals and called on officials, officials and scholars to study it. He also established a special system for the Ming Law Department for about three years.
After the completion of the Han Dynasty, Fan Zhi took the lead in promoting Zuocheng, Tongping Zhangshi, and the title of marquis. He became the youngest prime minister in the court, which was regarded as replacing Dou Zhengu's seat. There were more than ten officials involved in the legislation. He was given plenty of money, food, utensils, and silk, and then he was promoted based on his talents. He might take a real job, or he could become a doctor of law and specialize in teaching like Zhang Shi, the supervisor of the law school.
As for Wang Pu, after the completion of the law, he worked non-stop and vigorously prepared for river control. He summoned a group of assistants who were involved in the river fortifications and left Beijing to investigate the hydrological details of the Bianshui River Basin.
The river management work has officially begun, and the money and food have been prepared, so there is no reason to misappropriate it. Moreover, the river work is also related to the imperial court's strategy of going south.
Therefore, at this moment, even if Liu Chengyou had the intention to plan and expand Kaifeng, he was still unable to do so. Of course, the imperial court still had a small amount of surplus food for the time being, but it was a strategic reserve to prevent unexpected situations such as border incidents and disasters. The most important thing was to Prepare money and food reserves for the Southern Expedition.
In fact, from the time Liu Chengyou decided on the strategy of maintaining his health, gathering money and food, and repairing his armored troops to attack Huainan, various preparations had already begun. Once the war started, the money and food would be spent, and the court would have no energy to manage Kaifeng.
On the other hand, Liu Chengyou still had another layer of worries about whether to repair Kaifeng or not. Because Liu Chengyou would have the idea of moving the capital from time to time in his mind. Kaifeng could be the economic center of the Han Dynasty, but in terms of politics and military affairs, especially the military Defensively, it is really doubtful.
