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.

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 to the fort and won the battle. Hong Ling finally broke away from the impression of "reporting the funeral" and turned into a better side of "reporting the good news."

Whether it was the Western Han or the Eastern Han, or even the chaos of the princes and the Western and Eastern Jin Dynasties, the Han people had long been used to something big and there would be Hong Ling anxiously racing horses.

"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 no strangers to the Dingling people. Their ancestors have come into contact with enough foreign races for generations. The Qiang people have the most frequent contact, and they are the 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 mingled with the Qiangs to steal the Huns’ livestock. The origin of the thieves is that way. thing.

The current northwest is the Hexi Corridor during the Western Han Dynasty. The Han people were an absolute minority when they first arrived. At that time, the troubles of the Qiang and Dingling changed from the trouble of the Huns to the trouble of the Han, and they were not able 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 Shi Zhong left the northwest, the Dingling people broke into the northwest for several 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 his army to the north again?"

Shi Zhong thought about it for a while and found it reasonable. Ran Min invaded Xigaoche again. How could Dingling invade the northwest at this moment.

Chang'an 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, planning in the attitude of a millennium 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 Chang'an occupies a large 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 is the mausoleum chosen in 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 recreational places are not only forest gardens or parks, but also racetracks, Cuju courts, song and dance gardens, and opera halls. Naturally, they also include various eating and drinking places. To put it bluntly, they can be regarded as entertainment areas.

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

There are three types of specifications: medium, low, and high. Naturally, people are poor, poor, rich, and expensive. The type of specifications depends not only 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, we can’t rule out some people who spend a lot of money to buy mansions because they are all rich and powerful. What they think is that their neighbors are either rich or noble. They are hoping to agree to a few. If they can be promoted, their destiny will not change. That's it!

What Shi Zhong wanted most now was to have a house in Chang'an. He didn't dare to think about those big and beautiful houses, 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, but the household register 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 family member will be able to grab a lot of wealth if you leave the Western Regions. It doesn't matter if you don't grab much. Maybe you can be rewarded for your military exploits."

Shi Zhong didn't take it as a teasing. His elder brother Shi Bo went out of the Western Regions, and the good news there was repeated. He himself had received three letters about 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 must 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 you rely on military merit to get rewards, you will be considered a winner in life.

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

With such a shout, 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! Didn't he come out of the Western Regions?"

The convoy returned from the Western Regions. They were the first group to walk in the forefront. There was also a team driving a huge number of livestock behind, which was to bring back the spoils 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 mouthfuls, and I felt that it was very difficult to pull when I looked at them.

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 rush over and surround them, they didn't know what would happen.

The carriage 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 in from abroad due to 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 early.

"What is this?" Zhang Ding took a close look at the silver coin: "Why is there such an ugly portrait? What text is on it?"

The people 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 is picked 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? Anyone who 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?

Unwilling 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 accept the search.

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

Zhang Ding didn't understand what silver was in the end, but he knew that silver was 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."

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

After the separation, the wealth between the brothers is not a common property. If the elder brother helps the younger brother, it is called brotherhood~lightnovelpub.net~ If there is no help, it cannot be said that there is no brotherhood.

On the same day, the news of the return of the spoils from the Western Regions spread throughout the old and new Chang'an. Countless people vowed to brag to those who hadn't seen it with their own eyes. Among them, the phrase "carrying money and goods can't see the end" became the most used sentence.

It is reasonable to transport the things looted from the Western Regions to Chang'an. It is not all the spoils, and some have been distributed according to the credit when they were in the Western Regions.

The people who had family members went to the Western Regions talked all over the world about how much a family member could get, and more people started thinking about 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. Among them are gold, red, brown, crimson, brown...Anyway, their hair color. There are too many types, and the color of the eye pupils is 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.
