Destiny Only Han

Yanmen County, Mayi City (now Shuozhou City, Shanxi).

Although it is already the beginning of summer, this city in the valleys needs to be wrapped in thick autumn clothes sooner or later.

When the morning light was twilight, a series of high-pitched whistles sounded in the sheds built near the water, urging the construction workers who built Mayi City to get up, eat and prepare for work.

If this kind of militarized management method is aimed at the corvee workers drawn from various places, it will easily cause dissatisfaction.

But for this group of construction workers whose main force is the surrender of the Chu army, they have long been accustomed to it.

What's more, they are paid on a daily basis. As long as the construction period and construction quality are accepted, they will get a profit far exceeding that of farming at home.

So even though they used to be servants, that is, slaves, most of them now have paid their wages to redeem themselves as ordinary people.

It's just that they will never be willing to leave until they have saved enough money to go back to their hometown to buy dozens of acres of land, build a few tile-roofed houses, and marry a wife.

After everyone got up, according to the rules, water was fetched from the upstream, washed in the middle, and excreted in the downstream. The entire river was methodically filled.

Except for the displeasure on the face of the foreman who managed them, everything else was harmonious.

The foreman was unhappy because his personal income plummeted after the construction team arrived in Mayi City.

Due to the collapse of the Great Wall defense line in Mayi City, the residents in the vicinity either fled to the Xiongnu or moved to Taiyuan County. This place has long since returned to its original and wild state.

So collecting manure and selling it to farmers near the construction site as fertilizer naturally ceased to exist...

Therefore, the things that roll down with the river are all real gold and silver!

The foreman's heart is bleeding...

At the same time, Han Wangxin, who had been exercising in the morning, appeared punctually at the edge of the city wall that was different every day as usual.

Here, it will be his front line against the Huns, and it will also be the guarantee of whether he can stick to it and wait for help, so he must not be sloppy at all, and must do it himself!
The scale of Mayi City, after repeated discussions between him and Liu Ying, finally set the standard as a rectangle built near the water, 600 meters wide from east to west and 500 meters long from north to south.

Mi is a new weight and measure set by Liu Ying, which is roughly equivalent to the previous four feet (Qin chi, one foot is 23.2 centimeters).

It's just that it's only used in a few places now, and it hasn't been promulgated to enforce uniform use across the country.

After all, the country is too big, and some things are too big to be easily messed up...

And a city of this size will neither be able to accommodate too many defenders because it occupies a small area, nor will it be unable to defend because it occupies too much area.

In particular, Mayi City is located at the bottom of a mountain valley, next to a river, and there is no fear of being besieged and water cut off.

This place is close to a river, and the underground water resources are very rich. Only a few wells need to be drilled, which is enough to supply the defenders and the people of the city.

Of course, there are no people in Mayi City today. Only when the city walls are neatly built, and then the collapsed houses in the city are repaired, will the soldiers' families who came to Mayi be moved in.

According to the agreement, the guards who voluntarily relocate to Mayi City will be exempt from taxes for the whole family for ten years, and there will be a food subsidy of [-] yuan in the early stage.

After all, Mayi City is located to the north of the old Great Wall, so it is relatively difficult to transport grain. Before the farmland outside the city is reclaimed, the price of grain will naturally remain high.

It is worth mentioning that, because there is no choice, the houses in Mayi City will be of brick and tile structure.

This is a desensitization experiment for quickly building colonies.

Well, brick and tile structures are usually used to repair graves...

........................

In the middle of the day, when the construction workers who had been busy all morning finished their work and went back to eat a little something to avoid the hottest period of the day, a caravan that did not meet each other appeared in the distance on the road that had been trampled out again. .

Judging from the banner, this is the supply convoy coming from Guanzhong.

The reason for the large scale is that there are armored warriors in the supply convoy, so many merchants also joined them and sought shelter.

After Han Wangxin handed over the task of checking and accepting the supplies to his assistant general, he went to meet the business group mixed in the convoy himself.

Judging from the time, the owner of this business group is none other than Lieutenant Chen Ping.

Of course, there is a master behind the master. For example, although he has become the emperor, he will still be chased and beaten by his own father...

It's just that when Han Wangxin saw the leader of the business group, the smile on his face froze.

The man was tall and thin, with a conspicuous mole on his face.

This person was Lu Matong who snatched an arm in the battle of chasing Xiang Yu.

It's a pity that there were too many people rushing forward at that time, and Liu Ying was on the scene, so that except for Wang Yi who snatched the head and was able to be named a marquis, the rest of the people got no parts enough to be named a marquis due to their meritorious deeds.

After all, in the original historical line, the nominal commander of Qingqi chasing Xiang Yu was Guan Ying, but in fact the leading officers all had their own backgrounds, so when Yu Qi trampled and fought for King Xiang, dozens of people killed each other 'At that time, Guan Ying couldn't stop it at all.

But Liu Ying is different, he is the prince of the Han Dynasty, except for Liu Bang and some meritorious officials in Pei County who can not give him face, everyone else wants and must give him face.

Naturally, in order to accumulate meritorious service and become a marquis, Lu Matong needs to be the leader of the caravan.

The moment Han Wangxin saw Lu Matong, he knew it very well.

This caravan to the Huns was not just for making money, but for intelligence!

So Han Wangxin kept walking, but pretended not to know Lu Matong, and walked away from him.

Lu Matong didn't take the initiative to greet him, it must be because he didn't want to reveal his identity, so naturally he couldn't disrupt the other party's arrangement.

After all, there are so many people here, if anyone reveals Lu Matong's identity to the Huns, I'm afraid it will be really windy and cold, and the strong men will never return...

....................................

Liyang Palace, Xuande Palace.

Today is not a festival, but at Liu Bang's request, a grand meeting was held temporarily.

Just when everyone was discussing, a ceremony officer with an exceptionally loud voice stood up facing the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, and began to read in cadence.

"A person's closest relatives are not close to the father and son. Therefore, the father has the world to pass down to the son, and the son has the world's respect to the father. This is the extreme of humanity. The day before yesterday, the world was in chaos, and the army revolution broke out, and the people suffered. Commanding soldiers, committing dangers, suppressing riots, setting up princes, suppressing troops and calming the people, and the world is in peace. These are all the teachings of the Taigong. The kings, Tonghou, generals, Qunqing, and officials have respected me as the emperor, but the Taigong has not. No. Today, the Grand Duke is called the Taishanghuang."

The title of Supreme Emperor is an idea that Liu Bang has been thinking about for a long time.

Being chased and beaten by one's own father is actually like drinking water and knowing oneself whether one is warm or not.

Although outsiders looked a little inappropriate, the authorities enjoyed it.

Well, when Liu Bang hadn't made his fortune, it was a shame to be chased and beaten by his own father, but now that he has become the emperor, above tens of millions, there is still someone who dares to blow his beard and stare at him, It is actually a very happy thing for a person who chases him eight roads after a disagreement.

Therefore, courtiers are not allowed to beat the emperor, but it is only natural for the Supreme Emperor to chase after the emperor!

Bah, it's just a jitter... Liu Ying looked at the triumphant Liu Bang on the throne, and a very rebellious picture appeared in his mind. It was a corner he overheard...

After reading the imperial edict, Liu Taigong, who was forced by his wife to wear the same style of crown uniform as Liu Bang, appeared in front of the officials with some awkwardness, ready to accept the congratulations of all officials.

The old man was used to wearing coarse linen clothes, and suddenly put on clothes made of silk, which really made him feel very uncomfortable.

Another point is the rules of the farm, linen and straw sandals, no money on the body.

But there is no way, in order to satisfy Liu Bang's wish, for the sake of the face of the Han Empire, Liu Taigong can only do this thing that violates the legacy of the patriarch.

Seeing Liu Taigong standing on the steps, Liu Bang got up and walked down to Majesty Dan. Behind him stood Liu Yingxiao and other Manchu officials, bowing down solemnly.

This obeisance, governing the world with filial piety has become the tradition of the Han Dynasty, and it has influenced almost every feudal dynasty in later generations.

Of course, everyone advocates 'loyalty', except for the Jin Dynasty established by the Sima family.

After all, one was born in disloyalty and died in injustice...

Therefore, in the absence of being able to promote loyalty to the emperor, many perverted and filial sons of the Sima family came on stage in full bloom.

....................................

When the sound of Huang Zhong and Da Lu sounded, a sneaky figure flashed on the corridor bridge leading to Lu Zhi's bedroom.

Judging from the opponent's body shape, it was Liu Le, the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty...

She hugged a dazed orange cat, and kept using the pillars to avoid all possible sights.

Behind her, Liu Ruyi, who was in charge of watching the wind, was full of worry: "Sister, won't the aunt beat us up if she finds out?"

Liu Le didn't turn her head back, she was inexplicably arrogant: "Don't worry, my sister will resist the sky falling!"

Liu Ruyi muttered softly: "The last time my sister said she carried it by herself, but in the end I was hanged up and beaten by my second brother..."

Liu Le was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Don't worry, it won't happen this time, this time Liu Ying ordered us to take the blame!"

For a moment, Liu Ruyi felt relieved.

They all knew how much Lu Zhi favored Liu Ying, so as long as Liu Ying was dragged out as a shield, the disaster would be nothing!
So he leaned over curiously and asked, "Why did the second brother ask us to steal the cat?"

Liu Le thought about it for a while, and said stumblingly: "It seems to be some kind of scientific experiment to cultivate a good mouse catcher...Whatever, stealing a cat can be exchanged for ten points, even if you get a meal. It's a good deal!"

Just a moment later, in a room with closed windows and doors, two cats and cats with different body patterns and a pair of bells hanging under their tails stared at each other. The scene looked very anxious...
