As far as the world is concerned, it is definitely a city that looks down upon any city in the world.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Run finally understood why it took five years to build the new capital, Luoyang, and four years to build the city wall. It was really spectacular.

At this moment, the east gate of Luoyang City slowly opened. Lieutenant of Luoyang and Marquis of Anping Zhao Tan, wearing armor, rode out on horseback, leading a group of Luoyang city guards to greet them.

The monarch Zhao Run entered the city.

Behind Zhao Tan, there were also officials from the Smelting Bureau and the Ministry of Industry.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Tan, pays homage to your Majesty!"

Galloping in front of Zhao Run, Anping Hou Zhao Tan turned over and dismounted, knocked to the ground with one knee, and saluted with clasped fists.

"Welcome Your Majesty!"

The city guards who followed Zhao Tan, as well as officials from the Metallurgical Bureau and the Ministry of Industry, also kowtowed to the ground.

"The Marquis of Anping, please rise, and all the ministers, please rise."

Raising his hand to make a gesture, Zhao Hongrun looked up at the huge word "Luoyang" above the east city gate and said with a smile: "Everyone, you have really built an amazing city."

After hearing this, officials from the Metallurgical Bureau and the Ministry of Industry were quite proud.

Affected by Zhao Run's previous influence, officials from the Metallurgical Bureau and the Ministry of Industry have always held a "bigger" and "more sophisticated" attitude towards construction and forging. This has resulted in the area occupied by Luoyang City being larger than originally expected.

That's twice as much.

"Take me into the city to visit."

Zhao Run said with a smile.

After visiting Luoyang City, Zhao Hongrun and his party were divided into several teams: he himself wanted to personally inspect and accept the city, and of course he had to observe every place carefully; while Qin Shaojun Yingying and Princess Yulong took Zhao Chu and Wei

The two little girls Ning went into the city on their own; as for Su Ran, Yang Yanxing and other girls, because they were tired from the journey, they took the lead towards the inner city, where the palace was.

With several sons, Zhao Run, surrounded by a group of people, climbed onto the tower of the east gate of Luoyang, stood on the wall and looked into the distance.

The thirty-six-foot-high city wall has an excellent view. Zhao Hongrun can even faintly see Luocheng twenty miles away from here.

With such a height and such a wide field of vision, Luoyang City basically eliminates the possibility of being attacked by enemies during the day. As for sneak attacks at night, the possibility is very slim - after all, the height is too high, even

Even the green crows and the black crows cannot climb up.

No, out of curiosity, Zhao Hongrun waved to Ya Wu who was among the guards and asked him: "Are you here?"

After hearing this, Ya Wu poked his head out from the wall, took a look at the distance from the ground, shook his head and said: "It's difficult...the height is second, mainly because there are almost no gaps in the outer wall of this city wall, so it's difficult to climb.

.”

Zhao Hongrun also stuck out his head and took a look. Only then did he notice that the outer wall of Luoyang City seemed to have been plastered with cement, so that there were almost no gaps in the outer wall, so that even the Qingya people like Ya Wu could

, even with the current climbing tools, it is difficult to climb up.

In other words, as long as the gates of Luoyang City are closed, there are basically two worlds inside and outside the city.

The defensive performance is simply extraordinary.

"well!"

After saying two good words in a row, Zhao Hongrun slowly walked towards the end of the city wall.

He was not surprised that there was no Wei Liannu on the city wall of Luocheng. Perhaps it was because the city wall was too high, causing Wei Liannu to lose its due defensive advantage. On the city wall at this height, there were probably no ordinary crossbows for machine-operated crossbows.

Hands are easy to use.

After visiting for a while, Zhao Hongrun slowly stepped off the city wall, mounted his horse and headed towards the inner city.

During this period, he looked around and looked around the street.

Five years is still a bit hasty to build a city of this size. Perhaps for this reason, the streets in the city are not paved with bricks and stones, just ordinary dirt roads.

But the street itself is still roughly in shape.

At this time, the imperial guards and the city guards of Luoyang City had worked together to clear the roads to prevent the people in the city from disturbing their monarch.

But there were still many people crowding at the entrances of alleys, watching Zhao Run pass by with excitement.

Firstly, many of them had never seen Zhao Run, the monarch of Wei State. Secondly, Zhao Run personally came to Luoyang to inspect the completion of the city, which also meant that the imperial court was about to fulfill its obligations to the people.

promised to move the capital to Luoyang.

Once Luoyang was confirmed to be the new capital of Wei State, the local people would suddenly become the people of Gyeonggi.

The local people were very excited when they thought of this.

Facing these excited people, Zhao Hongrun sat astride his horse and occasionally waved his hands to greet the people, but he focused more on other aspects, such as the buildings and residential buildings on both sides of the street.

"These houses were built spontaneously by the people who moved here, right?"

Zhao Run asked, pointing to the nearby houses on both sides of the street.

After hearing this, Zhu Jin, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, quickly reported back: "To answer your Majesty's question, yes."

Of course he knew the reason why Zhao Hongrun asked this. It was simply that compared to the magnificent Luoyang City Wall, the residential buildings in the city looked very inconspicuous, low and messy.

In response to this matter, Zhu Jin immediately added: "Due to the rushed construction period, we only built the city wall and the palace. As for the buildings in the city, they were built spontaneously by the people in the city, so they look a bit messy. But don't worry, Your Majesty, our Ministry of Industry will take care of it in the future."

Slowly perfected."

"Hmm." Zhao Run nodded and said nothing more.

After all, he also felt that in just five years, not only a city of this size was built, but also a palace was built. This was already very fast, and he really couldn't expect too much.

When he came to the prince in the city, he recognized his point of view more and more. He saw that the palace in Luoyang City was built on the same ground as Daliang - no, in fact, in terms of the size of the land and the level of sophistication, compared to

The palaces in Daliang are even better. It is hard to imagine how long it took to build this palace. It only took one year.

It was not until later that Zhao Hongrun learned that the Ministry of Industry and the Metallurgical Bureau spent four years building the city wall, which did not mean that the construction of the palace only took one year. In fact, the two projects were started at the same time, and even the palace

The construction of the city took longer than the construction of the city wall of Luoyang City.

After all, building a city wall simply requires aligning the direction and then stacking large stones and fired bricks. But building a palace is different. The palaces and pavilions in the palace are all carved out by carpenters with their planing knives.

After being cut with a planer, it also needs to be carved and painted. In terms of the complexity of the project, it is actually still building the city wall.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Hongrun said sincerely after seeing those exquisite palaces, pavilions, water pavilions and other buildings with his own eyes.

After visiting the whole place, he felt more and more that the Metallurgical Bureau and the Ministry of Works were definitely working hard to build this new capital and this palace. Otherwise, these two projects would probably be two or three times as far as the current era is concerned.

It may not be completed in ten or thirty years.

And this fully reflects the speed and momentum of Wei's current internal construction.

On that day, Zhao Hongrun carefully visited the entire palace.

He found that the general architectural layout of the palace in Luoyang City was almost the same as that of the palace in Daliang, except that the palaces and pavilions were larger and the paths in the palace were wider.

In addition, it seems that the Daliang Palace has been moved to Luoyang City.

"The Sichuan-Luo Alliance really put in a lot of effort this time..."

Zhao Hongrun glanced calmly at the clan leaders of the Sichuan-Luoyang Alliance who followed him to Luoyang.

According to previous statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the cost of building Luoyang City was more than the tax revenue of the imperial court in ten years. Even the previous Wei State could not afford such a huge expenditure - after all, the Wei State

We also need to feed an army of hundreds of thousands.

As for the current Wei State, although military expenditures have been greatly reduced due to the "military land system", it is not necessarily able to afford this expenditure. At least, it cannot shorten the construction period to five, ten, or twenty years.

Years ago, it was quite acceptable.

It can be seen from this that the Sichuan-Luo Alliance is really bleeding a lot this time.

"In order to obtain the title of a noble, these clan leaders really worked hard..."

After taking a look at the Wei uniforms worn by the clan leaders, Zhao Hongrun thought to himself.

Indeed, for today's Sichuan-Luo Alliance, the suffering of hunger and cold has long been a thing of the past. What they desire now is the recognition of the aristocratic class in Wei State, or in other words, they hope to become the aristocracy of this country and have a decent status.

This is good, it means that these Sanchuan people, who were once called "Yinrong" by the Central Plains people, have now gradually integrated into the Wei people.

The only difference is that they still more or less retain the customs passed down by their ancestors and retain part of their own culture.

"The common master of the world...?"

For some reason, a word suddenly flashed through Zhao Hongrun's mind at this moment.

Of course, his understanding of the term "co-owner of the world" is still different from that of officials such as Jie Ziu, Gongyang Gao, and Xu Ruo who are currently tinkering with the idea of ​​"great unification."

A few days later, Zhao Hongrun returned to Daliang with his wife and children to discuss the matter of moving the capital with the ministers of the inner court.

After all, the imperial court used the name of moving the capital to lure the people of Yingshui County and several other counties to Sanchuan, which greatly eased the land annexation conflicts in Yingshui County. But now, since Luoyang City has been built, naturally the imperial court cannot

If you break your promise, you must immediately put forward the proposal to move the capital.

In May of the sixth year of Wei Xing'an, Chui Gongdian issued an edict to move the capital to Luoyang, with Daliang serving as the accompanying capital.

After the edict was issued to the whole country, the whole country was excited and ran around to celebrate.
Chapter completed!
