Qin Huaidao quietly raised his head and looked at the sky through the collapsed roof opening. His mood gradually calmed down from the joy of taking Chang'an, and he thought about the current situation.
Judging from the territory that has been established, Hanzhou is undoubtedly the geometric center, and it is almost the same distance to anywhere. However, it is too barren and the transportation is not developed. It cannot support many people. We must not only consider transportation and area, but also need to consider culture.
Economy, resources, population, etc.
Guanzhong is a granary, next to the two major granaries of Hanzhong and Luoyang, and surrounded by eight rivers. It is very convenient for transportation, can feed a lot of people, has a certain cultural heritage, and has two ready-made palaces and cities, so it is suitable for being a capital.
Moreover, the location of Chang'an is not bad. As long as more cement roads are built, running through Bashu, Huguang, Jiangnan, Tubo, the Western Regions, grasslands and the black land of the Northeast, and combined with water transportation to develop trade, the world will be stable and the people will be rich.
I remember that later generations built a three-horizontal and three-vertical railway network. I can also build a three-horizontal and three-vertical road network to revitalize the entire world, carry out massive construction projects, and allow the infrastructure to come out in advance. It can stimulate employment through investment, increase people's income, and promote economic development.
Local consumption revitalizes the economy.
The more he thought about it, the clearer Qin Huaidao's thinking became.
After a while, Qin Huaidao raised his head, looked at the collapsed dragon couch in front of him and smiled.
Whether the dragon couch is stable or not depends on whether it benefits the people.
As long as the people are stable, the dragon's couch will be stable.
If the people are unstable, sooner or later they will be bombed.
Now that you have come to this world and come to this point, then do your best to create peace and seek eternal peace.
As for Li Tai, Qin Huaidao no longer cared about him.
"Report!"
Not long after, Li Jingren left and came back. He hurriedly entered the palace, clasped his fists and said, "To the King of Han, the order has been sent out. In addition, I have just received an urgent report from General Luo Ying."
"What happened?"
Li Jingren handed over a small note.
Qin Huaidao took it and looked at it. There was only one sentence on it - the man was rescued and has passed Hangu Pass.
"Hahaha, great." Qin Huaidao was overjoyed, but he was worried that there were no civil servants around him to help him, so he quickly told Luo Ying, "Send the order to Luo Ying and ask him to bring him directly to Chang'an."
"Follow the order!" Li Jingren promised and went to make arrangements.
"Wait a moment."
Qin Huaidao continued to warn: "Publish the list to recruit skilled craftsmen to repair the palace as soon as possible, and then find someone to clean up the battlefield and restore it to its former appearance. Go ahead."
Li Tai moved the capital to Luoyang, taking away not only the civil servants and generals of the court, but also the harem servants and skilled craftsmen. He almost hollowed out the entire Chang'an court, and everything had to start from scratch.
After Li Jingren left, Qin Huaidao also walked out of the hall.
There were guards in golden uniforms guarding the entrance of the main hall, and a team member hurried up, cupping his fists and saying, "King of Han!"
"How is the battlefield being cleaned?"
"The corpses have been moved away, the wounded soldiers have been transferred to the inner garden for treatment, and the prisoners are being held in the Forbidden Garden camp, under our supervision. They cannot afford to make trouble," the other party said quickly.
"In a while, someone will come in to clean up the dirty blood on the ground, repair the damaged palace city, pass down the order, let them go, and supervise them." Qin Huaidao warned and headed towards Ganlu Hall.
The Manna Hall was not attacked and was well preserved.
However, the books, memorials, etc. in the hall were almost emptied out. Fortunately, daily necessities were left, so there was not much problem with housing. Qin Huaidao observed it and sat on the imperial desk. This position was reserved for Li Er in the past and was considered a dragon chair.
However, Qin Huaidao felt uncomfortable. He was cold, hard, and his butt was not soft enough to sit comfortably. The items on the desk had also been emptied. When he looked up, he saw that the portrait of the Holy Queen's eldest grandson Wugou had also been taken away. This Li
Tai moved very thoroughly.
"Lang Jun, congratulations on taking Chang'an City." A pleasant voice came.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Zhang came in with light steps, holding a sleeping child in his arms, followed by a group of people, all of them were beautiful, dignified, comely, quiet, cunning, each with his or her own characteristics.
In the crowd, a beautiful figure quickly stepped forward and shouted with a smile: "Brother-in-law!"
"Princess Jinyang?"
Qin Huaidao recognized the other person at a glance. Although he had not seen him for more than two years and was getting more and more beautiful, he still recognized him. He stood up to greet him, walked to Yuzhang, glanced at the sleeping child, and asked with concern: "Yesterday
I was too busy at night and didn’t take care of it. Is everything okay?”
"We're protected by the army, so it's okay."
"That's good." Qin Huaidao responded, looked at Princess Jinyang and smiled: "I have grown taller and have changed a lot. I almost didn't recognize you, but you are okay."
"Not good." Jinyang looked aggrieved.
Qin Huaidao already knew that this person was eccentric and would not be easily fooled. He did not answer the call and solemnly saluted a solemn woman with the courtesy of a junior: "Huaidao, I have met Concubine Yang!"
"Ms. Yang, a commoner woman, please see the King of Han!" Concubine Yang solemnly returned the courtesy.
When Qin Huaidao heard that the other party called herself a "civilian woman" instead of the formal title of "this palace" or "a certain concubine", her heart moved. She wanted to give up her current identity, hide her name, and live an ordinary life from now on. He thought of Yang Ke
The choice is somewhat enlightened.
When Concubine Yang saw Qin Huaidao not responding, she became nervous and felt miserable.
In the same way, there is one emperor and one courtier. In the same way, there is one emperor and one harem.
The city of Chang'an changed its owner. According to the usual practice, Li Er's harem was either thrown into the sky prison, executed, put into the priest's office, or transferred to the arms of the new owner. For example, Li Er had many Cao thieves and wives.
Concubine Yang knew very well that at her age it was impossible to be married to someone else, and with Li Ke's connections, she could not be humiliated. However, she would most likely end up in the cold palace, which was also a common practice.
The other Shuyi, Cairen, etc. who came with Concubine Yang were all Li Er's wives and concubines. Princess Jinyang found a way to save them, otherwise they would have been executed by Li Tai or taken to Luoyang. But seeing Qin Huaidao not saying a word,
I also became nervous, lowering my head and not daring to speak.
Jin Yang looked a little dissatisfied and wanted to say something, but Yu Zhang pulled him back and pointed with his eyes.
Today's King of Han is no longer the Qin Huaidao of yesterday. Many things cannot be done according to one's temper. One must follow the rules and abide by etiquette. Otherwise, he will be ostracized, ridiculed and lose the support of all parties.
Qin Huaidao also knew the etiquette and rules of this era. After weighing it, he still couldn't do anything inhumane, so he immediately said: "Concubine Yang, do you have somewhere to go?"
"Thank you, King Han!"
Yang was overjoyed, breathed a sigh of relief, and said quickly: "As big as the world is, there is always someone who can only survive."
"But your identity is sensitive after all, and living among the people is not what a wise person would do." Qin Huaidao reminded.
Concubine Yang nodded in acquiescence. If the noble concubine really lived among the people and spread the word that she had a bad reputation for Qin Huaidao, she would say that the King of Han was immoral.
The tension broke out again and became suppressed.
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "Concubine Yang, Yuzhang is responsible for education and there is a shortage of doctors. You are all literate people and quite talented. I plan to open a school. Why don't you go to the school to become a doctor and teach children?
Counting merit, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks, and at the same time you can have some salary to support yourself, how about that?"
