contend

With the growth of Qin State, the problem of old and small in Chang'an became more and more prominent.

Once it rains or snows, the city will be muddy, and the Weishui outside the city will often flood to the base of the city wall.

Like the Yellow River, the Wei River often swayed from side to side, threatening to submerge Chang'an at every turn.

It has been almost a long time since the construction of the new capital.

The continuous supply of various slaves made the construction period much faster.

Especially during the slack season, the people nearby will come to do "occasional jobs" with high enthusiasm, no wages, and only three meals a day.

This also led to the acceleration of the project progress.

Suo Jing has long been aware of the problems of the new capital, so he has focused his energy on the new capital for the past two years.

Ji Kang was in charge of design and engineering, and Suo Jing was in charge of rear dispatch.

With the addition of various professionals from the Central Plains, Jiangdong, and Central Sichuan, the speed of Xindu is particularly fast.

Yang Zheng took Wei Guan and Yang Xu to inspect, and the outline of the new capital was basically completed.

The overall layout is rectangular, consisting of three parts: Outer Guocheng, Miyagi, and Imperial City. It is [-] miles long from east to west and [-] miles wide from north to south. There are three gates on each side, and the twelve gates correspond to six streets.

The city wall is two and a half feet high, and it still uses the method of rammed earth, which is extremely strong.

The defense force is also top-notch. Every city gate has repaired urns, and every city wall has archery towers, horse faces, etc.

Ji Kang, as a top figure in the world of celebrities and art, of course did not allow the capital to be built with too much soil, so he pasted blue bricks on both sides of the city wall to maintain its beauty.

The moat is also designed according to the largest specifications, leading to water systems such as Chanshui, Jiaoshui, and Lushui. The inner three floors and the outer three floors surround the city, and the water system extends all the way to the palace city.

Half of the 110 squares in the city have been completed.

And the palace is almost finished.

Of course, a city built by a person full of artistic talents will not be rigid.

The biggest difference from Chang'an is that Ji Kang used a lot of red and black color schemes, adding a touch of freshness and solemnity to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which were darker in color.

The imperial palace adopts two bright colors of bright yellow and red.

Ji Kang's various artistic imaginations were fully displayed, and many air corridors were designed to connect the palaces.

"I'm afraid this city can accommodate a million people." Wei Guan exclaimed.

"This is the capital of my Great Qin!" Yang Xu said excitedly.

Yang Zheng was also amazed, but the money spent was also painful.

More than [-] slaves, people rushing to work, and cattle and horses to transport wood and stone materials, all kinds of expenses add up to not a small number.

Even so, Ji Kang's request was not met.

It is said that Ji Kang plans to build the new capital into a perfect city that has never been seen before or since...

Later, because of the Battle of Hedong, all the money and food were used for war.

"The imperial palace still needs to be carved and polished, and the folk square is just taking shape. In addition, the city plans to dig and build five large pools in the city, which need supporting buildings such as bridges, pavilions, and waterside pavilions." I've seen turkeys in the market.

"In this way, wouldn't the budget be increased?" Yang Zheng's eyes widened sharply.

"This is natural. The world has not yet been unified, but Guanzhong has such an atmosphere. If the world is unified, Guanzhong must be more prosperous. As an imperial capital, of course it must have the style of an imperial capital."

"Isn't the world still unified?" Yang Zheng had a headache.

Judging by Ji Kang's appearance, I am afraid that he will invest more in the later stage.

"It's okay. Didn't His Majesty say ten years or fifteen years? It's only been three years."

The problem is that Chang'an can't bear it any longer and is waiting for Xindu.

Unifying the world is by no means as easy as Ji Kang said.

How can we unify without money and food?

Yang Zheng had a headache for a while. The stall was too big and he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Why don't your majesty sell a batch of mansions in the new city?" Wei Guan asked suddenly.

Yang Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and a bolt of lightning suddenly descended in his mind!
This, this is to open up real estate and industries!

What could be more profitable than selling a house?

Especially the imperial capital.

Which country in later generations is not supported by real estate and industry?
A proper pillar industry!

Yang Zheng secretly scolded himself for being confused, holding Jinshan for not knowing how to dig...

Who is the richest these days?

Of course it is a noble clan.

Wouldn't it be nice to harvest them with the land and properties of Xindu?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the suing order as a sickle, which was too inhumane and had a bad reputation.

I can't play it myself, so this kind of hidden method of cutting leeks is the best, and the nobles must jump into the pit eagerly.

They are generally poor these days, but the poor are only ordinary people. The gentry have accumulated two or three hundred years of power, and their families have plenty of money and food, and their sense of smell is the most sensitive.

Great Qin ruled the world, this is the biggest psychological expectation, and the biggest selling point!

The more Yang Zheng thought about it, the more excited he became, "Great goodness! The city can be divided into three areas. The east area is for the residences of meritorious soldiers and courtiers, and all other areas are sold."

Ji Kang said in displeasure: "Business is an inferior business. If the country is obsessed with the benefits of merchants, it may be that the society will be riddled with holes in decades. Your Majesty should promote education and establish etiquette and human relations. How can this be promoted?"

"Ji Zhongsan's words are wrong. The prosperity and prosperity of the world are all for profit; the chaos of the world is for profit. No business can communicate with each other? Confucius also said: wealth and honor are what people want! Poor Being cheap is what people hate!" Wei Guan argued.

Ji Kang is also a master of clear talk. He retorted: "Taking meaning out of context, wealth and honor are what people want. If you don't get it according to the way, you don't get it. Poverty and lowliness are what people hate; if you don't follow the way Get it, don’t go. The way to be a king lies in virtue and benevolence!”

Yang Zheng felt dizzy for a while, and went around to give himself a lesson, "Of course education must be promoted, but education also needs money. A gentleman loves money and obtains it in a proper way. I don't love money, but take it for the country." In other words, don’t I want to sell the mansion and follow the example of Emperor Xiaowu and use the order to sue?”

The basic logic of the country's operation is the economy.

If people are poor, they will live worse, but if the country is too poor, they will die.

To put it bluntly, Datang and Daming died of poverty by themselves.

Zhuge and Wuhou all knew how to manage Shu brocade and use it as military resources.

It's not too much for Yang Zheng to sell houses.

Ji Kang was speechless even after the notice was issued.

"Scholars, farmers, and businessmen are the pillars of the country. Of course, I will not favor one or the other, but at this time and that time, I will not harm the people. Ji Zhongsan can wait and see."

Yang Zheng himself knows only a little about the deeper things, but that doesn't prevent him from copying the homework of later generations.

Fortunately, Ji Kang was not a stubborn person, so he cupped his hands and said, "I have only a half-knowledge about governing the country, but watching your Majesty's actions for so many years, you often do amazing things. This is almost a gift from God, and it is beyond human reach. I am so ignorant and ignorant."

"Ji Zhongsan is too modest. If the merchants operate properly, it will also benefit the people."

In fact, China's business has always been very prosperous, otherwise there would be two Silk Roads.

In the Warring States Period, there was Lu Buwei who was a rare commodity to live in.

Yang Zheng's principle is not to let things go, and not to beat them to death with a stick, but to manage and control them reasonably.
