I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 116 To build a new city
After the Chu and Han armies broke through Jingyang, they did not stay too long, leaving only hundreds of soldiers and horses stationed in this border city, while the large army escorted the captives to leave.

However, Ying Bu and Gong Ao were defeated, but not many prisoners were produced.

Counting their subordinates together, there are more than [-]% Chu people.

The people of Chu respect and respect the Xiang family, and Xiong Xin's fear and alienation can only affect the middle and high-level people of Chu, but not the simple emotions of the people.

Therefore, after the army of these two men was defeated by Xiang Yu, they did not need to be guarded as prisoners, and most of them could even be directly incorporated into the Chu army.

They headed towards Xianyang, which is the political and economic center of Guanzhong and a suitable place for discussion.

Soon after arriving in Xianyang, Xiao He visited Chen Luo.

He asked with a worried face: "It's been less than a year since I left, why is Xianyang so dilapidated?"

Even after a period of treatment by Chen Luo, it still hasn't recovered from the huge trauma it suffered.

An expert in internal affairs like Xiao He can clearly see that there are serious problems in it.

Chen Luo smiled helplessly, and then told what Gong Ao had done.

After hearing this, Xiao He frowned: "Guanzhong is a scenic spot shaped like mountains and rivers. It is so badly done. It really looks like Xia Jie and Shang Zhou."

After all, not to mention the water source provided by the Jinghe and Weihe Rivers, a large number of plains with deep and fertile soil have been formed on both sides of the river. In addition, there is a large population around Xianyang. It can be said that it only takes 15 years to restore the national strength to [-] to [-]% of the peak period of the Great Qin Dynasty. There is no problem at all.

As a result, it took nearly a year in total, but it made the life of the people in Yongdi even more miserable.

"Brother Xiao, don't be angry. This is the end of the matter. We can only think about how to restore Xianyang City. I just have a lot of questions to ask." Chen Luo hurriedly comforted him, and wanted to learn some knowledge about internal affairs from the boss.

I have been groping by feeling before, and I have handled it well, but there must be flaws and there is room for improvement.

In terms of internal affairs, Xiao He can be regarded as the top group in Chinese history.

More importantly, he has the most grass-roots experience and knows what the implementation of policies looks like below, so after becoming prime minister, he will consider it when formulating policies, which is very rare.

"An Zehou, don't be polite, if you have any questions, just ask, you and I can discuss it." Chen Luo asked humbly, but Xiao He didn't dare to really put himself in the position of a teacher.

Chen Luo smiled, and then said: "I have summed it up, there are mainly a few problems in Xianyang City now. First of all, the people in the city..."

Xiao He fell into deep thought after hearing the results of Chen Luo's previous research.

After a long time, he raised his head and said: "The problems mentioned by An Zehou are all manifestations, and there is only one core problem, that is, the contradiction between people and land in Xianyang City is close to the limit.

If Xianyang a year ago was a middle-aged man who seemed to be in the prime of life but had hidden diseases, then Xianyang now is an old man who is terminally ill and may die at any time.

If you want to cure hidden diseases, you only need to take care of them slowly for a few years, and then you can be cured.But if it's the latter, then any decoction may become a deadly 'poison'. "

The north side of Xianyang City has expanded to approach the Wei River, its west side is close to the Decanting Water, and the east side is a certain distance away from the Chan River, but not much.

Therefore, Xiao He said that the size of Xianyang City is close to the limit, so there is no problem.

After a moment of silence, Chen Luo continued to ask: "Then according to Brother Xiao, is Xianyang City hopeless?"

"Not necessarily." Xiao He shook his head. "Give me five or six years to move out the population while expanding to the southeast. It should be able to alleviate its land conflict."

"Five or six years, it's better to build a seat..." Chen Luo muttered to this point, and suddenly realized.

Because Xianyang City did not suffer an irreparable and devastating blow like in history, Chen Luo has been trying to restore it.

Now it seems that it is more appropriate to choose a nearby location to build another new city.

Explaining this idea to Xiao He, the other party praised: "Marquis Anze's idea is even better. There are too many people in Xianyang City. It is indeed more convenient to open up a new city and move there than to repair the old city."

Based on this idea, the two discussed for half an hour. When it came to excitement, Chen Luo and Xiao He directly picked up their swords, made gestures on the copybook, and then carved a city layout map.

It wasn't until a guard came in to remind them that the two of them remembered that there would be a high-level gathering of the Chu and Han armies tonight, but the nature of this gathering was not much entertainment, it was mainly about discussing business matters.

After all, after arriving in Xianyang, the two parties have not had a formal meeting. Before that, most of the agreements need to be reached in advance in private.

After thinking of this, they went out in no hurry.

The meeting place is not far from Anzehou's mansion, it doesn't take a quarter of an hour to go out, and you can walk there with just your feet.

Not long after the two arrived at the banquet, it officially started.

There were not many participants, and they were all familiar faces to Chen Luo.

After Xiang Yu and Liu Bang finished their routine polite conversation, Liu Bang said with emotion: "It's been less than a year since the last time in Xianyang, but it seems like a lifetime away. It would be great if Mr. Fan could be at the banquet."

"Then I suggest that you all raise your glasses and drink it in memory of Fan Lao." Xiang Yu continued.

"That's what I meant, thank you King Xiang, but the old people who have passed away during this period are not only Fan Lao, but also Han Wangcheng." Liu Bang nodded, raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "It is Han Wangcheng and Fan Lao."

The others raised their glasses together.

When Zhang Liang heard Liu Bang remember mentioning Han Wangcheng's name, his breath was even more stagnant, and a few drops of wine were sprinkled on the back of his hand.

After remembering the deceased, the scene was dull for a few minutes.

Therefore, there was not much gossip at the beginning, and Xiang Yu brought up the main topic: "What does the King of Han think about the next matter about going east?"

Liu Bang answered the words calmly: "The summer harvest in Hanzhong can be transported by water to Ao Cang, and then from Ao Cang to support operations outside the customs. As for the combat outside the customs, I can divide the troops with King Xiang and share the pressure."

After thinking for a while, Xiang Yu said: "This is almost the same as what I expected. Then I will go out from Hangu Pass, attack Pengcheng from north to south, and the King of Han will go out from Wuguan, and join Wei to attack Xiongxin. How about it?"

To implement this strategy, he needs to face more enemies than Liu Bang, and there is no help.

"People's hearts are changeable, and King Wei may not necessarily help me at this time." Liu Bang replied, "But I have no objection to King Xiang's proposal."

"It's fine if the King of Han has no objection."

After setting the general direction, they discussed several other important aspects. When the discussion was almost the same, there were only some details left, which could be discussed at the official meeting a few days later. The banquet returned to its essence and became pure eating and drinking.

Xiang Yu called Yu Ji to drink with him, and asked again thinking: "I have known the King of Han for several years. I know that General Lu's sister is after the King of Han. Would you like to have a banquet?"
