Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 644 Luoyang City

After sending the matchmaker and Wang Zhong out, Lin Shengyuan happily returned to the yard.I saw my daughter sitting under the pomegranate tree, watching two butterflies fluttering, and remained motionless for a long time.Seeing that her expression was neither sad nor happy, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Stepping forward, Lin Shengyuan said: "My son, the matchmaker has already arrived, and your marriage with Xuanfu has been finalized. When to hold a wedding, we have to discuss it again. God is sorry, we have worked so hard for so many years, and today we are finally here." There is such a good thing!"

Lin Xi turned around, looked at her father, and said in a daze, "Daddy, is this a good thing?"

Lin Shengyuan said: "Xuanfu is only in his early twenties, and he already occupies a high position, ruling dozens of states! This kind of marriage can't be obtained even if you pray to God or Buddha! It will fall on your head all at once. Isn't it a good thing?"

Lin Xi said: "But I don't know what kind of person Xuan Fu is. Who knows what will happen if we live together?"

Lin Shengyuan smiled and said: "What are you talking about? With Xuan Fu's power, no matter how you look at you, life will not be bad! You are young and don't know the usefulness of power. Let me tell you, even if you haven't married yet, I will go out now , everyone wants to flatter me! If we get married, what will it be like?"

As he spoke, Lin Shengyuan's eyes lit up, full of longing.

Lin Xi didn't say anything, just looked at the lotus in bloom in the pond, neither happy nor sad.

These days, no matter who you meet, you will congratulate Lin Xi.It seems that after getting married with Wang Xiaolie, they have been on a steady rise since then, and they are no longer the same as before.Lin Xi didn't know whether to be sad or happy, but felt a little lost.

I always feel that when two people get married, they should love each other until they grow old.Will you?As Wang Xiaolie, one can understand from history books that it would be difficult for him to be his wife if she wanted to be loving.It is difficult to maintain such an identity.Is my life going to be spent like this?
Lin Xi didn't know.The more congratulations others have these days, the more frightened I am.

Now that everything is busy, Wang Xiaolie has no time to think about marriage.And this marriage, I am satisfied at first glance, and I have nothing to think about.My sister and Wang Zhong went through the procedure and set a date to get married, and they got married by themselves.Other things can only depend on God's will.

It was a sunny day with no clouds in the sky. Wang Xiaoliu invited Zhang Shou and Feng Yi to hire a boat to cruise the Luo River.

Looking at the sparkling water on the river and the flying water birds, Zhang Shou said: "Luoyang City is a thousand-year-old capital, and there is no comparison in the world. This Luoshui, passing through the city, has added countless auras to the city. In the world, there are such How many scenic spots are there?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Luoyang has been the capital of emperors since ancient times. It is not a lie. People call Luoyang the best place in the world, with the most suitable climate and the most prosperous scenery."

Feng Yidao: "When the dynasty was founded, Yizu always wanted to move the capital to Luo, but he just missed it."

At the center of the river, Wang Xiaolie ordered the anchor to be lowered.To Zhang Shoudao: "There is nothing to do today, let's take a look at the beautiful scenery in the Luo River."

After tea was served, Wang Xiaolie, Zhang Shou, Feng Yi, Chen Qiudao, and Chen Yuyi sat by the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside and chatting.

Zhang Shoudao: "After Xuanxian restored Xijing, some courtiers suggested that the officials should return to Luan and take Henan as their place of conduct. There are many ministers who proposed this matter, and the Holy Majesty could not refuse it outright. When I came to Luoyang, the Holy Majesty specially ordered, look Let’s see how the current Luoyang City is doing, and see if it’s right to do it. Looking at it these days, Luoyang City has been too dilapidated in the flames of war, and if we don’t put in a lot of effort to repair it, it’s okay to do it.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "When the Jin army brought disaster to the Central Plains, the residents from the south of the Yellow River moved north, and Luoyang suffered the most. Although it has recovered now, the number of households is far worse than before. I remember that when I entered Luoyang at the beginning of the year, I made statistics. Luoyang is full of cities, with a total of 260 households, which is not as good as a large county. Without a population, it is even more difficult to rebuild Luoyang City."

Zhang Shoudao: "Yes, business travel is difficult, the streets are depressed, Luoyang is too deserted now. Xuan Fu stationed in Luoyang, we need to work harder."

Wang Xiaolie said: "When I'm free, I'm going to completely renovate the streets in Luoyang City. Those who fled to emptiness, their fields and houses will be taken back to the government, and then re-planned. The government will pay to build this Luoyang city well. Only then can people come.”

Zhang Shoudao: "In the city of Luoyang, there are many former residences of ministers of the imperial court. For example, Staff Officer Chen is from Luoyang. Go to Fei, how is your family now?"

Chen Yuyi said: "After several military disasters, it is already dilapidated. Now that there is a residence arranged by the government, the old house is too lazy to clean up."

Zhang Shoudao: "It's not the staff of the Xuanfu Division, let alone the others. It's not easy to restore Luoyang City to its former state."

Chen Yuyi's former residence was built by his great-grandfather Chen Xiliang, in Sishunfang, which used to be one of the largest mansions in Luoyang City.The Jin army attacked and was fired several times, and now it is already broken.Moreover, there were no homes around the house, and there was a large vegetable field, so Chen Yuyi was too lazy to clean it up.

Now in Luoyang City, except around the Henan Fuya and on both sides of the Luoshui River, there are few people walking in other places.There are also large areas of land that have been reclaimed into fields to grow vegetables and food, creating an idyllic scene in the city.After Wang Xiaolie came, although a large number of officials moved into Luoyang and attracted some merchants, it was still far behind.

Luoyang City was built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was the largest city in the world at that time, with a large area.In the days of Taiping, there were many dishes in the city, let alone now.In some places, rice and mulberry are already everywhere, and it is hard to see that it is a city.

Zhao Gou traveled to Yangzhou, Jiankang, and Yuezhou, and finally set up his trip in Lin'an, which was opposed by many courtiers.Some people suggested to set up the capital in Shu, plotting Shaanxi.Some people suggested to establish a capital in Ezhou or Dengzhou, plotting the Central Plains.Wang Xiaolie restored Xijing, and immediately someone proposed to return to the Central Plains in order to restore the world.

This kind of sound is very loud.Although Zhao Gou disagreed in his heart, he had to make a gesture to let Zhang Shou take a look at the current Luoyang and prepare to rebuild it.It's just that with the current financial situation of the imperial court, the money for the reconstruction cannot be paid out anyway.

No matter what Zhao Gou thinks, Wang Xiaolie really wants to rebuild Luoyang City.

Luoyang is a thousand-year-old capital with a very good geographical location.Even if it is not the capital, the terrain here is dangerous and easy to defend.Moreover, the surrounding land is fertile, it is close to the granary of the Central Plains, and it controls the main roads of Shaanxi and Hedong. It is also an important city.

Wang Xiaolie is stationed in Luoyang, which is more conducive to managing the Central Plains than Xiangyang.Moreover, it is very convenient to go to Shaanxi in the west, Hedong in the north, and Kaifeng in the east.When the people recover and there are more people around, the city must be rebuilt.

This thousand-year-old city, in the hands of Wang Xiaolie, will become the center of restoring the Central Plains.
