On the official road, dozens of riders galloped past, and three small flags were stuck behind the knights. One of them called Hongling Urgent Envoy. Fastest update

The Hongling ambassador was a profession established in the Western Han Dynasty. It was originally used to convey emergency warfare in the frontier. Generally, seeing the hongling ambassador rushing on horseback, people’s first thought was absolutely "Where the border was broken by the Husbands." ?"such as.

　　 Until the time of Liu Che, the Han army repeatedly went out of the fortress to win the battle. Hong Ling finally broke away from the impression of "reporting funerals" and turned into a positive side of "announcement".

　　Whether it is in the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, or even the chaos of the princes and the Western Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Han people have long been used to something big and there will be Hong Ling rushing horses running wildly.

"There are as many as thirty-two Hongling emergency envoys?" Shi Zhong is now not a stunner who just came out of the village. He has become knowledgeable after he has come to Chang'an: "What happened? Could it be Ding Ling? People invade the Northwest?!"

　　 Northwesterners are not unfamiliar with Dingling people. Their ancestors have come into contact with enough foreign races for generations. Qiang people have the most frequent contact, and they are considered Dingling people.

As early as when the Dinglings were prairie thieves, many of them lived in the Hexi Corridor. They did not serve the Huns. They often mixed with the Qiangs to steal the Huns’ livestock. The origin of the thieves is that way. thing.

　　 The current northwest is the Hexi Corridor in the Western Han Dynasty. The Han people were an absolute minority when they first arrived. At that time, the Qiang and Dingling people turned from the trouble of the Huns to the trouble of the Han people, and they were unable to solve this trouble until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Hundreds of years have passed. The Qiang people have lived in and around the northwest for a long time. No one knows when the Dingling people ran to the grassland, and there is no record in the history books. People conflict.

　　Before Shizhong left the northwest, the Dingling people broke into the northwest for a few times and were defeated by Ran Min's army. Later, Ran Min led his army to chase down the territory of Xigaoche.

　　 "Can't it?" Zhang Ding looked disbelief: "Isn't General Hussar leading the army to the north again?"

　　 Shi Zhong thinks it a little bit and thinks it makes sense, Ran Min invaded Xigaoche again, how could the Dingling people invade the northwest at this time.

　　Changan is still a large construction site, and the land leveling of the new city was completed in June. A considerable amount of labor was used to dig ditches in the city, and after repairs later, they were covered with stone slabs to become underground sewage canals. Behind is a series of planned buildings sitting on the ground, which are strictly divided into medium, low and high commercial districts, medium, low and high residential districts, medium, low and high leisure districts.

　　Han is very serious about building the new Chang'an City. It is planned with the attitude of a thousand-year empire. There is no city wall except for the palace. The city is always waiting for the population to expand before expanding.

New Chang'an occupies a very large area. It is adjacent to the Qinling Mountains to the south, and extends to the east bank of Bashui on the east. The Bacheng is directly wiped out on the north and Fengshui is almost reached on the west. To really tell the concept of area, the length is close to one hundred. Twenty li, the width is more than eighty li, enough for an astonishing 9,600 square li area.

　　 New Changan covers an area of ​​9,600 square miles? In fact, it is almost half of the modern imperial capital. It also includes royal palaces, leisure palaces and forest gardens, as well as ordinary residential areas, leisure areas, commercial areas, and even farming areas, which is really not that big.

　　 By the way, Liu Yan is about to become the emperor. Once he becomes the emperor, all specifications must be implemented, including the construction of the tomb, and then he will have to go to Luoyang to plot a piece of land.

　　Why did you choose Luoyang? Because there is Mount Mang over there. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, all emperors of the past dynasties chose to have their tombs in Mangshan, and there is also a saying that there is the dragon vein of Zhuxia. Some dynasties that failed to rule the entire territory of Zhuxia will choose another location for their tombs. Basically, whether there are conditions to build the tombs in Mang Mountain, it depends on whether a dynasty can at least rule the old land of Zhuxia. (The Ming Dynasty ruled Zhuxia's entire territory and expanded, that is, the imperial mausoleum did not choose Mang Mountain)

　　 New Chang'an occupies a large enough area, and the division of residences is loose. In addition to the necessary roads, the residential areas with different specifications are scattered with various leisure places.

　　 The so-called leisure places are not only forest gardens or parks, but also racetracks, Cuju courts, song and dance gardens, and opera halls. Naturally, they also include a variety of eating and drinking places. To put it bluntly, they can be regarded as entertainment areas.

　　 Don’t guess too much, the planning will be like that, it's all because of Liu Yan’s interference, which has been widely praised.

　　 is divided into three specifications: medium, low, and high. Naturally, people are poor, poor, rich, and expensive. The specifications are not only based on the location, but also on the building itself. For example, the residences in the wealthy district occupies a very large area. Not only are they divided into the main house, sub-chambers, and guest buildings, but also the necessary gardens. Some people can even dig a pond by themselves. Ordinary people are like a house, and it’s a good thing to have a front yard or backyard that can grow vegetables.

Generally, the area divided into wealth and honor is closer to Miyagi. There is no official restriction on who can not buy and move in, that is, who has no points in his heart, and he is a person with no power and power but just a little money. In the area, can life be comfortable?

Of course, some people who spend a lot of money to buy mansions because they are all rich and powerful cannot be ruled out. What they think is that their neighbors are either rich or noble. That's it!

　　 What Shizhong wants most now is to have a house in Chang'an. He didn't dare to think about the big and beautiful ones, but only dared to ask for a set of the most common ones. It's a pity that he found that even the cheapest house was really just a luxury for him, and he didn't have the wealth to buy.

There are so many people who are eager to have a house in New Chang'an. Everyone knows that Chang'an, as the imperial capital, will be the center of the world in the future. Not to mention that living in the imperial city will have more opportunities. Only the household registration can be introduced in the imperial capital. When I'm on my own, how can I lift my chin a little bit higher.

　　 "It's not that there is no chance..." Zhang Ding teased Shi Zhong: "Your uncle will be able to grab a lot of wealth if he leaves the Western Regions. It doesn't matter if you don't grab much. Maybe you can be rewarded for your military exploits."

　　 Shi Zhong did not take it as teasing. His eldest brother Shi Bo went out of the Western Regions, and the good news there was repeated. He himself had received three letters. He knew how much he knew the situation in the Western Regions, and it was really possible that something like that could happen.

　　 New Chang'an is a brand new city, and it was built on a land with little inhabitants. It is definitely to attract foreigners to become citizens.

　　 If you have money, you can spend money to buy it. In fact, this type of people can't be dragged. If they rely on military merit to get rewards, they are considered winners in life.

　　 Zhang Ding didn’t know Shi Zhong’s true thoughts, and wanted to tease a few more words, but suddenly shouted: "Look, there are so many cars!"

　　 shouted so loudly that everyone looked over and saw a long dragon of horse and ox carts on the official road. At first glance, there was no end in sight.

　　 The convoy is protected by the military. It seems that there are not too few people escorting the convoy, and everyone has a smile on their faces.

　　 "That... isn't that Ergouzi?"

　　 "Ergouzi? Who?"

　　 "The Ergouzi of the neighboring village! Isn't he out of the Western Regions?"

　　 The convoy returned from the Western Regions. They were the first group to go in the forefront. There was also a team that drove a large number of livestock behind, which was the spoils brought back in the Western Regions. In addition, there is a special force that escorts prisoners of war and slaves. It must be said that the number of girls snatched is staggering, and they are all golden cats.

　　 Some of the cars were covered with cloth, and some boxes were filled with bite after bite, and I found it very difficult to pull when I looked at it.

Shi Zhong’s reaction was the same as everyone’s. He was puzzled as to why so many car drivers appeared. When he was about to resume work, he suddenly saw the wheel of one of the carriages collapsed, and the many boxes on it rolled and fell to the ground. , A few boxes smashed on the ground and lifted the lid, some golden and silver things scattered all over the floor.

Under the sunlight, the gold and silver coins on the ground were almost blinding everyone’s eyes. The horseman who drove the carriage was so anxious that such an accident blocked the vehicle behind, and the number of gold and silver coins scattered on the ground was also the same. Too many, if it weren't for the soldiers to come and surround them in an emergency, they didn't know what would happen.

　　The wagon with the broken wheel was not far from where Shi Zhong was standing. He looked down at a silver coin rolling to his feet in a daze, completely wondering what it was.

I don’t know that the existence of silver is a very normal thing in Zhuxia. Zhuxia has not been an area with large silver reserves since ancient times. It was not until the Ming Dynasty when a large amount of silver flowed from abroad because of trade. It is more precious than gold, and there are not too many people who have never seen silver in a lifetime.

　　 Shi Zhong was about to bend down to pick up the bright silver coin, but someone rushed to pick it up earlier.

　　 "What is this?" Zhang Ding carefully followed the silver coin: "Why is there such an ugly portrait, and what text is on it?"

　　 Everyone around leaned forward, all staring at the silver coin doing the great cause of "hundred thousand whys".

　　 In fact, Zhang Ding is not the only one picking it up. People who are close enough to bend over can pick it up, whether it is gold or silver, and there are people who pick it up and hide it quickly.

　　 What you pick on the ground becomes your own? There was nothing like that at all. Even if someone who picked it up wanted to run, they didn't move as fast as the surrounding soldiers. This area was quickly surrounded by soldiers, and officers yelled to make people line up.

"Whoever picked it up, be smart and hand it over." Bai Zhong didn't deliberately put on a fierce face, but said with a smile: "These are captured, and all the fruits that go to the Western Regions have a share. Who is ignorant? Whoever is greedy for money from his fellow villagers. This kind of currency is not available in Xia, and can’t be spent with it.”

　　 melt away? Even if it is done without a trace, how do you explain how gold or silver come from when it is spent?

　　 don’t want to hand it over? In addition to taking the initiative to hand in the queue, the body search is indispensable. If you dare to swallow your stomach, the size of gold and silver coins is not small, knowing what is swallowing gold? The intestines and stomach can't digest the metal at all, and it doesn't even go to the stomach, so it can't be excreted at all. It is not only gold, but also silver or iron, copper and other metals. Unless the metal that is swallowed is small enough, you can die by waiting for internal bleeding from a ruptured gastrointestinal tract.

　　 When it was Zhang Ding's turn, he handed over the silver coins he picked up without any hesitation, and asked, "What is this?"

　　 Bai Zhong said it was a silver coin. Seeing Zhang Ding's face didn't understand, he wanted to explain, but there were so many people in line behind, so he waved his hand and asked Zhang Ding to go for a body search.

　　It is of course impossible for a vehicle with a broken wheel to stop in place and wait for repairs. The cargo on the vehicle was emptied, and all the carriages, horses, and cargo were moved to the side of the road so that the convoy behind could pass.

　　 Zhang Ding did not understand what silver is in the end, but he knew that silver is more valuable than gold.

　　 They had no intention of working anymore, and the supervisor did not urge them. The big guy stood on the side of the road and watched the convoy passing by.

"Each box contains gold coins, silver coins, and gems seized from the Western Regions..." Zhang Ding swallowed fiercely, and said to Shi Zhong in a daze: "Your brother may really have enough money to buy a seat in Chang'an. House."

　　 Shizhong nodded faintly, and said, "We can get 40% of the seizure, and my brother should be enough. It's just that...I and my brother have already separated."

　　 After the division, the wealth between the brothers is not a common property. If the elder brother helps the younger brother, it is called brotherhood.

On the same day, the news of the return of the trophies from the Western Regions spread throughout the old and new Chang'an~lightnovelpub.net~ Numerous people vowed to brag to those who hadn’t seen it with their own eyes. Among them, “the car loaded with goods can’t see the end” became a use. The most sentence.

　　It is reasonable to transport the things looted from the Western Regions to Chang'an. That is not all the spoils. Some of them were distributed according to the credit when they were in the Western Regions.

　　 There are people who have their families going to the Western Regions, enthusiastically discussing how much a family can get, and more people are thinking of going to the Western Regions to make a fortune.

　　 The next day, the team driving the livestock arrived, and people were completely frightened when they saw the ocean of cows, horses, and sheep.

　　 On the third day, people expected to see more trophies, but no team came over that day. On the fifth day, a new team appeared again.

　　 "This...this...this...a lot...a lot..." Shi Zhong didn't stutter. He was completely confused by the scene in front of him and didn't know how to say: "Really a lot!"

Of course, the newcomer team is still at the forefront of the army. After the soldiers in front are gone, there are countless women behind them. Among them are gold, red, brown, crimson, brown...Anyway, their hair color. There are too many types, and the colors of the eye pupils are too much for everyone's eyes. The oldest of them should be around forty, and the youngest is five or six years old. Adult women are all on foot, and young and inconvenient people ride in open-air vehicles.

　　 After seeing so many women, the Han people looked at each other tacitly with the people next to them. After robbing so many women of the right age from the Western Regions, they can solve the single problem of many people.
