Chapter 463

After the first emperor swept the six in one central plains, I don't know what psychology, he quickly ordered the cities all over the country to dismantle the city walls, and at the same time, the passes were gradually dismantled. He has not deployed many troops in China, mainly to transfer the troops to the North-South border. In China, counties and counties use local people for military service as the main garrison, only a very small number of Qin soldiers as the main officers.

Xianyang, once the capital of the Qin Empire, had no planned city walls at the beginning of construction. It's hard to say what kind of idea it was at the beginning. It's said that Shang Yang, who planned the city, thought that the surrounding terrain of Xianyang was a natural barrier, and the Qin Army was good at fighting. The capital did not need to be protected by the city walls.

"Linzi is a temporary capital, which will be moved elsewhere in the future." A Xiang is Linzi Ling. I don't know whether it's the above sign or her own meaning. After Xie Daokai arrived, she came over. She felt it necessary to answer the question raised by Xie Daokai: "at the beginning, she felt that the scope of the capital would be expanded all the time, and there would be many restrictions on the existence of the city wall. The army behind had been resisting the enemy outside the country, so there was no need for the city wall."

Xie Daoqian was extremely surprised that the person in charge of the grand capital of the Han Dynasty was a woman. It was normal for women to be officials in ancient times, but since the Western Han Dynasty, women will also act as women officials in the palace city, and there is no place for women in other official positions. She really did not expect that the Han state under Liu Yan's rule would have an unconventional "retro".

A Xiang is the wife of Li Kuang, a general of the state of Han. At present, when a woman marries, she will be given her husband's surname. Outsiders should call her Li because they will directly address the official name without surname due to their official position.

It is a custom in most mainstream countries all over the world to take the husband's surname. On the mainland of China, it is maintained until the end of the Republic of China, and some autonomous government regions outside the "two governance" (such as Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) are retained. At the same time, in mainstream countries in Europe and America, women also take the husband's surname after marriage. It can be seen that it is not discrimination for women to marry with their husband's surname.

"Will move away from Linzi at any time?" Xie Daoyi asked curiously, "where will it be moved?"

This Ah Xiang is not very clear. Recently, the topic of moving the capital has been put forward. Those who proposed that Linzi is too biased to the east of the country, which is not conducive to the central control over the place. In addition, I think the capital should be located in the center of the country, or the side where the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Cao Wei Dynasty chose to expand before.

"Shouldn't it be the terrain around the capital as a priority?" As Xie Daoyi knows, the reason why Jiankang will become a capital is that, on the one hand, Jiankang has a development foundation, and more importantly, there is a natural barrier around Jiankang. She thought of something and said, "the Han Army has conquered Xiangguo, the capital of Shijie. I heard that the king of Han ordered not to destroy the palace?"

A Xiang gave a positive answer: "there is such an order. The person who orders is not the king, but prime minister Zuo."

In fact, according to ran min's original intention, he wanted to set fire to those palaces that looked magnificent. The reason was that the palaces were not only made of people's fat and cream, but also filled with national blood and tears. He should learn from Xiang Yu, the former overlord of Western Chu, to burn them in order to be fair.

Ji Chang can give orders directly to the military, but his order was approved by Liu Yan. What he considered was that Liu Yan was never willing to spend people and material resources to build a place of enjoyment. It was good for the king to live a simple life, but if the king's living place was not dignified, it would lower the majesty of a country. Since the stone tablet had been established, the state of Han could also use it.

Liu Yan's idea is that since it is built and whether to live or not, don't easily destroy what has been built with the people's and material resources. Apart from being positive, there is really no other intention to destroy it, which is a waste of behavior.

"Ah?" Xie Daoyi was surprised again: "is the king of Han going to move in? Will you be scolded... Scold?"

"The king didn't say he would move there." A Xiang has a better impression of Xie Daokai, because Xie Daokai will consider for her husband's family before she gets married. She smiled and said, "there is a saying that the capital will move to Guanzhong, but I don't know what the king will think."

The territory of the Han state has been expanded again and again. From the former Changguang County, it has successively recovered the whole Qingzhou, and won the whole territory of Xuzhou and Yanzhou. Jizhou and Yuzhou are also recovering more than half of the territory, and even the whole territory of Sizhou is quickly recovered. Linzi, as the capital, is really too close to the East.

The administrative center of a country can not be too remote, and it will not have enough control over places too far away. In addition, the money, grain and other taxes in various places are always handed over to the center. If they are far away, it is not only a loss, but also a great trouble.

The argument about moving the capital to Guanzhong is not without cause. Liu Yan's personal tendency is also to prefer Chang'an as the capital. He has such an idea. Not only are there many natural barriers around Chang'an, but several dynasties with Chang'an as the capital are relatively strong. In addition, the Han country will certainly expand to the West in the future. Therefore, the location of Chang'an as the capital is not only beneficial to the expansion to the west, but also can facilitate the acquisition of grasslands.

Linzi now has a population of more than 400000, because the relationship between becoming the capital has long been not limited to the original Linzi boundary, but to bring the original surrounding counties into the capital system. It is about to Xi'an in the North (about ten miles of modern Huantai mobile), Changguo in the West (Modern Zibo City), Judian Lake in the East and Linqu in the south. It covers an area wider than a smaller county.

The scope is too large and the population is not large. The phenomenon is that there are no dense buildings, which leads Xie Daokai to think that he is not entering a city at all, but in ordinary countryside.

For Xie Daoyi, what impressed Linzi was not that there must be boats and ships on every water system. For example, there were many boats and ships in the huge ocean water just passed by, including warships.

"Each state and county can transport money and grain to the capital by water rather than by land." A Xiang didn't think it was a secret. Facing Xie Daokai's curiosity, he said directly: "the country is now in wartime, and the recovery of all localities is also going on. Slaves are used to build roads, and there is no wantonly apportioning corvee on road construction."

Xie Daokai saw a lot on his way to Linzi. The corvee levy in the Han Dynasty was mainly aimed at local infrastructure construction. Recently, all localities paid most attention to agricultural water. Most of the construction and repair of roads were slaves, and few people were involved.

There are many water systems in Linzi. The largest water system in the north is the estuary of the Yellow River. Recently, it is the Jishui of the large water system, and some small water systems such as mianshui, turbid water, Zishui, Shishui, etc. are connected and vertical and horizontal. The utilization under multiple water systems will indeed play a lot of convenience, and the residential houses around the water system look the most dense.

A Xiang just met Xie Daoyu and left after chatting for a while.

After entering Linzi, the 1000 cavalry soldiers in Gaoping were stationed in the military barracks in the suburbs. Xie Daoqian and others were transferred to Linzi government office for reception. The place arranged was a post house.

The settlement place is not far from the palace city. Except Xie Daoyi, there are some original hall servants in the post house.

The difference between the post houses in the capital city and those in other places of the Han state is that they are larger in scale. The leaders of the hall service are still retired soldiers, and the rest are employed by local elderly people, women and children, so they can't see the young.

There are not many Xie Daokai and others, but this is not the reason why they can occupy a post house alone. It is obvious that the post house has been signaled to empty the original people, which is specially used to accommodate Xie Daokai and others. After they were arranged to stay in, they should be treated politely in terms of food and drink treatment, and there were no restrictions on their access. That is, after Ah Xiang left, no high-level figures came again.

For about half a month in succession, Xie Daokai almost visited Linzi except the palace city. There were no scenic spots and no majestic or magnificent houses. It was doubtful whether Linzi was the capital of a country and how could senior officials and nobles look so simple.

Xie Daoyi saw the most people who were running for life. The pace of life of the people looked very fast, and everyone was busy and full. She looked at the houses and the food. The house was a very common hut, but the food was very rich. There was no food to eat due to the season. Fresh fish was always on the table.

"The boats and ships of the Han country are very developed. I heard that the warships of the Han people gallop across the Bohai Sea and even out to the ocean. The sea is a paradise for the Han people to hunt. A fleet full of fresh fish comes here from the sea every day." Xie LAN is not only responsible for serving Xie Daoyi, but also for inquiring and gathering some information: "salt in the Han Dynasty is very cheap, and seafood is cheaper. People in Qi have a long history of eating fish, unlike people in the inland."

Xie Daoqian and others are good at Southern life. In fact, they often eat fish. What they are surprised about is the new cooking method of Linzi people for fish. There is no novelty in putting ginger to remove the fishy smell and debugging. It is not fresh to make fish with soy sauce, that is, what to make with some unseen seasonings. Fried fish not only smells very good, but also tastes good.

"Rich in fish, meat can also be eaten from time to time." Xie Daokai was born in a big family and would not be strange to eating meat. What she knew was that even in rich families in the south, she could not often eat meat: "dog meat looks less than mutton, even beef can appear in the market..."

Of course, there is a market in Linzi, which is divided into various workshops in the east of the city. Some specialize in selling fragmentary goods, daily necessities, diet, and even animals.

For southerners, they are puzzled and puzzled when they see horse selling in the market, especially when they see that some good horses that can be used as war horses can also be sold among the people. This is only because the south is extremely short of horses, especially there are fewer good horses that can be used as war horses, and there are only twenty or thirty thousand cavalry in the whole two or three hundred thousand jin army.

"Horse?" Ah Xiang came to the post house again after 17 days. Facing Xie Daokai's question, he smiled and replied, "not everyone can buy it. You have to have a title."

Xie Daoyu thinks that's right. Otherwise, how many horses should be resold to the south.

Ah Xiang came here this time with a mission, but she didn't feel anxious at all. She is happy to talk with Xie Daokai about Linzi, especially about Xie Daokai's impression of Linzi.

"There is no more population than Jiankang, and there is no prosperity than Jiankang..." Xie Daokai felt that he should tell the truth: "looking at Linzi as a capital, it is slightly shabby, not like the capital of a powerful country."

This is where ah Xiang is most depressed. The country is in wartime all year round, and its local construction is also based on the foundation. There is another king who doesn't like big civil engineering at all. No matter what the people at the bottom think, they have to restrain themselves. As the capital, Linzi really has no style, at least it can't compare with Shijie or the capital of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It should be said that Xiang, the capital of the state of Zhao in Shijie, has now become the jurisdiction of the state of Han.

"The king of Han Dynasty is a king who cares for the people..." Xie Daokai first praised him from the heart, but then frowned and said, "but prosperity still needs support, not only for outsiders, but also for a powerful country."

Those who accompanied Xie's sect to the North thought that Han was a powerful country before they came to Linzi, but they were less in awe after watching Linzi. This is a common normal psychology of a person, just like tall and majestic buildings can make people know their smallness. No matter how rich people live in thatched houses, they will be underestimated.

After a short talk, Ah Xiang said, "the king wants to leave for Sizhou. Does his wife want to stay in Linzi or go with him?"

Without thinking, Xie Daokai said straightly, "if the marriage is determined, Daokai will naturally be consistent with many maidens. If the marriage has not been determined, Daokai will not be able to follow.", Without waiting for Ah Xiang to say anything more, she continued, "if the king of Han did not restrict idle people, daokan still hopes to see the scenery of other places."

Liu Yan's tour this time is a relatively large-scale tour in the near future. He will choose the spring tour. The star watching officer predicted that most areas of Qingzhou will have rain for more than one month in the near future. Considering the need to deter the newly recovered areas, Liu Yan's tour will be determined.

"The king has promised." Ah Xiang smiled sweetly, narrowed her eyes and said, "I have just called you madam."

"Wrong, wrong." Xie Daokai really didn't pay much attention to the address just now. After reaction, he didn't see any shyness. He said, "I haven't officially married yet. I'm not busy addressing my wife first. Daokai really wants to see the king."

Ah Xiang is here to take people to see Liu Yan. Not only is Xie Daoqian curious about Liu Yan, but Liu Yan is not curious about Xie Daoqian who dares to go north.

Liu Yan chose to confirm his marriage with Xie Daoyi at this time. The affair between his children is not the most important, but it is related to the war of the southern expedition. There is a theory of strategy in the marriage.

When Xie Daoyi saw Liu Yan, Xie an was also present.

When the war in Sizhou stopped, Xie an returned to Linzi to report on his work. He will soon be transferred to the southern expedition corps, served as Lang general in the Xuzheng shogunate, and participated in the Han invasion to the south of the Yangtze River.
