"Tell me, what kind of house are you going to build this time?"
Ever since Guo Dong's Wushuang Mansion was handed over to him, his favorite e-sports and live streaming industries have really become a hobby. He directly took over the construction part of the house and became Guo Dong's exclusive contractor.
After building the Wushuang Mansion, which imitated the Lion Forest, he renovated the amusement park that he bought from his friend. After the amusement park was completed, he built a large sea-view garden, a private aquarium, and a lot of other things.
And when Guo Dong called him, he called these things... building a house.
"Does Batya know?"
Guo Dong said a name.
Just now, while calling Wang Siming, he roughly thought about the general shape and location of Nanyang in his mind, and then picked a place casually and even playfully.
"I know, there used to be a seaside tourist city not far southeast of the capital of Siam. It was quite famous."
Wang Siming rolled his eyes. Of course he knew about such a famous seaside tourist city.
At any rate, that place is also called Oriental Hawaii...although there are a lot of places with this title.
"Why are you mentioning that place?"
Although he knew that place and even took some girls to play there, Wang Siming still became curious: "Don't tell me that you have a place here and plan to build a house there."
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Hearing Guo Dong's answer, Wang Siming was speechless for a moment, and then his voice rose a few degrees: "What's wrong?"
"Brother! How chaotic is Nanyang? It's all turned into a pot of porridge. It's even more chaotic than Heifei and those oil-producing areas in China. Why are you going there to buy land and build a house? Are you crazy?"
Guo Dong blinked: "I haven't told you, am I on good terms with Xue Guo?"
It seems that he has indeed never told Wang Siming these things.
"Xue Guo?"
Wang Siming was slightly startled at first: "Is that the group of armed forces that suddenly appeared, destroyed five or six countries in a few days, and claimed to unify Nanyang and establish a country?"
Listening to Wang Siming's description, Guo Dong rolled his eyes speechlessly: "You are right to say that."
But he had nothing to refute.
After all, this is indeed the first impression the world has of Xue State, and the current Xue State does not look like a country, or even a government, because it does not have its own bureaucracy, governance, business and other 'civilian' systems. Only the powerful army and the ghosts who know where to get it, where to put it, how to put it in those places, and actually exploded one of the mushroom bombs deterred the purely military armed forces around the world who have not dared to act rashly in the past month.
"Tell me, will you take this job?"
Listening to Wang Siming who was silent over there, Guo Dong asked further.
"Are you serious?"
Wang Siming's voice was much calmer, and it was obvious that he no longer had the mentality and tone of chatting and joking about hurting friends.
"Of course it's true."
Hearing Guo Dong's words without hesitation, Wang Siming pondered for a moment, and then asked: "What kind of house do you want to build? How big is the area, how much money, and how long is it expected to be completed? How is your relationship with that group of people? Can they guarantee us safety?”
Listening to Wang Siming's series of questions, Guo Dong pondered for a moment: "My relationship with them is not bad, and I can absolutely guarantee safety. As for the area of the house..."
Guo Dong thought for a while and finally chose one: "You know Tang Chang'an City, it is at least as big as four Tang Chang'an cities."
Um?
Wang Siming was stunned.
How big are the four Tang Chang'an cities?
At least?
"Are you going to build a house or a city?"
Wang Siming complained subconsciously.
The city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was more than 80 to 90 square kilometers. This is only within the city wall, not counting the area of auxiliary towns, counties and villages outside the city wall.
The four Tang Chang'an cities don't need to be at least, but the four Tang Chang'an cities add up to about 350 square kilometers.
As a district of the capital, Chaoyang covers an area of just over 400 square kilometers, barely larger than the four Chang'an cities of the Tang Dynasty.
"You're really right."
Guo Dong laughed when he heard Wang Siming's complaints: "We really want to build a city!"
"From the south of latitude 1.5 to the seaside, and from the longitude of 10th east to the seaside in the west, this is an approximately square area of approximately 15,000 to 6,000 square kilometers. We are going to build a new city as the capital of Xue State."
Guo Dong pulled up the map and roughly measured the area.
Speaking of which, this place is pretty good. It is close to the original capital of Siam and well-known tourist cities. The nearby Guozitou Expressway is ready and the transportation is convenient. Besides, except for a few cities along the coastline, there is almost nothing else.
The imaginary city is easy to dismantle.
Once it is built as he described, it will be close to the sea in both the west and south directions, with the entire Gulf of Siam as natural protection. It can be said that the location is excellent.
The only bad thing is that it may not be possible to build the palace facing north and south.
Because Guo Dong planned to use the entire Gulf of Siam as a royal lake, and placed all the giant whale beasts in it to defend the capital and the palace.
"I C!"
Listening to Guo Dong's description, Wang Siming couldn't control himself at all and just burst out with a curse word!
What does 15,600 square kilometers mean?
The total area of the capital city, that is, including all the subordinate villages, towns, mountains and fields, etc., the entire administrative area adds up to more than 16,400 square kilometers.
The entire administrative area of the Magic City is only over 6,000 square kilometers.
Even many countries do not have such a large area in total. For example, among the countries in the world ranked 154th in terms of territorial area, it only has over 14,900 square kilometers.
Such a large area... to build a city?
"wrong!"
Wang Siming, who was speechless, shocked, and full of nausea and didn't know how to vomit before he got angry, suddenly realized something: "Those people want to build a capital, what does it have to do with you?"
Hearing that Wang Siming finally realized it, Guo Dong also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a casual and indifferent tone: "I am the emperor of Xue State. When the capital palace is built, I can ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor."
!”
Nima!
Wang Siming's eyes widened, and he clenched his hands subconsciously. His cell phone made a creaking sound and said, "What did you say!?"
Guo Dong repeated what he said just now, and then asked again: "How is it? Do you want to accept this job?"
"Pick up...what are you picking up?"
Wang Siming roared madly: "How do you want me to answer it?"
Wang Siming, who was relaxing in a bar in Lin'an far away, jumped onto the table in excitement and madness, kicking all kinds of drinks and flying all over the private room.
Feeling the touch and even pain of things being kicked around on his feet, and then listening to the sound of broken wine bottles and wine glasses, the screams of being hit and splashed with wine, inexplicably, Wang Siming's psychology got a hint.
Release: "Get out of here, everyone!"
Wang Siming's evil roar and crazy look made all the accompanying people stay silent and quickly ran out of the private room.
"Lao Guo, are you kidding me?"
After everyone left, Wang Siming didn't care whether it was dirty or not. He sat down on the table that was littered with bottles, drinks and other things, and started asking in a low voice on the phone.
"Have I ever joked with you about any of this?"
Guo Dong asked back, reminding Wang Siming of the first time he took over the work of building Wushuang Mansion from Guo Dong.
At that time, he also thought that it was a joke to build a private estate imitating the Lion Forest in a 1:1 ratio.
But the result can only prove that he is too small.
"...I have one last question."
After discussing the construction of the capital, before hanging up the phone, Wang Siming suddenly remembered something: "Why did you call me Xue Guo?"
I don't know if he is curious about this question, but all seven billion people on the planet are curious about it.
After all, the army that came out of the building in front of Qian Ming was obviously imitating the ancient Chinese dynasty.
There is a basis for the establishment of national titles in ancient dynasties.
Let’s not talk about Xia, Shang, Zhou and Qin. The Han Dynasty was because Liu Bang was named the King of Han, so after the founding of the dynasty, the title was used as the country’s title. The Sui Dynasty was also because Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was named the Duke of Sui. The name was changed to Sui without changing the name.
Yin, still uses the title as the national title.
The most famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, also used a title as his country's title.
But what about Xue Guo?
Why use ‘Xue’ as the country’s name?
Many people are studying this issue of love now, and various theories are flying all over the sky. Especially at present, it is only announced that there is an emperor of Xue State who is ready to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, but he has never shown up and no one knows his name.
So many people are wondering, is it because the emperor of the Xue Kingdom was named Xue, so he used his own surname as the name of the country?
After all, there are no dukes or kings in this era. Almost everyone subconsciously concluded that no one would use the title as the name of the country anymore.
Wang Siming once felt that the statement "the emperor of Xue State was surnamed Xue" was more reliable.
Unexpectedly, this mysterious emperor of Xue Kingdom turned out to be Guo Dong?
It's definitely not because of the king's surname.
"My ancestral hometown belongs to Xue County among the thirty-six counties of Qin."
Guo Dong replied like this.
"That's it?"
Wang Siming's eyes widened. I wiped them. Who the hell would have thought of this?
Not to mention hometown, it is still ancestral hometown. An ancestral hometown is considered to be the birthplace of my grandfather. It has nothing to do with my birthplace, living place and where I am from in the conventional impression, especially in modern times such as Northeast China.
This is a place where large-scale foreign immigrants such as the Guandong invasion occurred.
How the hell can you guess this?
"Of course it's not just because of this."
Guo Dong continued calmly: "The one emperor of the ages, Zulong, Qin Shihuang, once took Xue County as my fiefdom. Later, I also raised troops from Xue County to conquer the world and wiped out the princes. I was called the Emperor of Xue State. Now I have established a new dynasty and ascended the throne as the emperor.
, naturally we still have to use Xue as our country’s title.”
Guo Dong gave him a detailed answer. Whether he believed it or not was none of his business. (To be continued)
