Chapter 1133 Proposal to rebuild Luoyang
The whole picture is portrayed very carefully, and even the functional distinctions of each area are marked.
Which piece of commercial land is clearly marked with different colors.
Among them is the educational land that covers a large area, with no less than ten higher education institutions such as Shouchun Academy and Dachu Military Academy.
There are countless other enlightenment education institutions.
The most eye-catching one is the yellow area in the middle, marked with the Chu Prince's Mansion.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that a royal palace cannot use such a vast area.
The area of the yellow area is twice as wide as that of the Han Dynasty's previous imperial palace, and Yuan Shu's ideas are self-evident.
What surprised everyone was that the total area of this icon was ten times that of the original Luoyang City.
It’s no longer a city repair, Yuan Shu is going to build a super city on the original site of Luoyang!
The size of the inner city is similar to the original Luoyang City, and many streets even restore the planning of Luoyang City back then.
Including Yuan Mansion and Shenwei Hou Mansion, there are marked on the picture.
General Tong Feng asked in confusion:
"The king has built such a big palace, so why do we still build the Shenwei Hou Mansion?"
Yuan Shu smiled at Tong Feng:
"The Shenwei Hou Mansion was built mainly for the people to visit, and it has historical and tourist value.
Well... you don't understand this even if I say it, you will understand it in the future."
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Zhang Zhao exclaimed:
"The king is actually willing to provide his original residence for the people to visit!
My king's broad mind is beyond the reach of even the Qin Emperor and Han Wu!"
Yuan Shu thought to himself what this is. Can you guarantee his majesty if you don’t visit the people?
Thousands of years later, isn’t everything still a place for people to hang out and have fun?
Yuan Shu looked down at everyone and said:
“This is probably the initial plan for Luoyang City.
This picture is a planning sketch drawn by Zhicai, Fengxiao and other gentlemen for more than half a month.
If you have good ideas, you can also put them forward and let’s discuss them together.
If you have no objection, I will start construction this month.”
Shen Xiu was the first to leave the list and worship Yuan Shu:
"After years of accumulation, our Great Chu treasury has been abundant.
Not to mention rebuilding a Luoyang, even if we build three such cities at the same time, it would be no problem with our great Chu's financial resources.
The rebuilding of Luoyang by my king is strongly supported by my husband!”
Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, couldn't wait to come out and show his loyalty to his son-in-law:
"The Zhen family is willing to purchase all the items needed to rebuild Luoyang and support the King in building Luoyang at a price lower than the cost."
Looking at the two wealthy businessmen who were eager to try, Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction.
Now Yuan Shu has handed over the responsibility of taking charge of the Great Chu treasury to Shen Wansan.
Under the management of Shen Wansan and a group of advisers, Da Chu had extremely strong financial resources.
The civil and military officials under Yuan Shu all agreed, but the counselor Zhang Zhao frowned and advised:
"Report to the king, although our Chu financial resources can support the reconstruction of Luoyang, Luoyang is close to Bingzhou after all.
If the northern alien races go south to invade, it will cause great harm.
The Wei minister suggested that the king carefully consider the matter of building a capital, and it is best to set up the capital in the safest prefectures and counties."
Yuan Shu glanced at Zhang Zhao who was cautious and couldn't help but shake his head.
This old man is good at managing government affairs, but his external personality is too cowardly and afraid of war.
Talents like Zhang Zhao can only be used as government officials, so it is unlikely that he can offer advice to defend against the enemy.
"What Mr. Zibu said is wrong!"
Before Yuan Shu could speak, Pang Tong shook his head and said:
"Why shouldn't the northern alien races be worried about our king's reconstruction of Luoyang?
When will I, Da Chu, be afraid of fighting?"
Pang Tongyi looked relaxed and did not take the northern aliens seriously at all.
Yuan Shu looked at Pang Tong with appreciation. Although this guy looks ugly, he is still angry with this young master.
Yuan Shu said with a bold smile:
"Shi Yuan said it well!
Emperor Wu of Han once said that those who violate the powerful Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away.
What I want to say today is that if I am not of my race, I will destroy all my races!
After the lonely capital is settled in Luoyang, the first thing to deal with are the barbarians outside the border!"
Yuan Shu said this more domineeringly than Emperor Wu of Han.
Emperor Wu of Han was invaded by foreign races and wanted to send troops to attack.
Yuan Shu is so good that he will kill him as long as he is not a Han family, and he has no intention of reasoning with the foreign race.
Yuan Shu's words made the generals in the hall excited. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Gao Chong and other generals responded in unison:
"Swear to follow my king to conquer the alien race and promote the prestige of our great Chu state!"
Even Yuexi, Xiahou Dun and other surrendered generals couldn't help but shout.
Every passionate man has the ambition to step on the Huns and conquer the Huns.
It was only because the Han Dynasty had been weak over the years that the foreign races on the frontier developed.
With Yuan Shu's tough attitude towards foreign races, he would inevitably kill foreign races outside the border to dare not face the Great Chu.
It can be foreseen that these peerless generals will witness the birth of a great dynasty.
Cao Cao told Yuan Shu:
"In addition to the supplies needed to build a city, the king also consumes a lot of manpower.
I should recruit laborers from Yan, Yu, Sili and other places for the king, and rebuild Luoyang for the king as soon as possible!"
Although Cao Cao joined the Great Chu, his prestige in Yan and Henan provinces was still there, and it was no problem to recruit hundreds of thousands of people to serve labor service.
Yuan Shu nodded and said to Cao Cao:
"If you want to quickly rebuild Luoyang, you really cannot do without the support of the people from all over the world.
However, the people must be filled and they have enough rest time.
In addition, the wages of the people's labor must be paid in full and must not be owed.
This time, we need to rush the construction period, so let’s pay more for the people.
Shen Wansan?"
"I am here."
"You and Meng De are responsible for recruiting labor. The extra wage for the city construction this time is 20%."
"I obey the order."
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and quickly bowed to Yuan Shu and said:
"Minister receives the order..."
Cao Cao was a little confused. Is corvee labor a bad job that the people must pay?
Why do you have to pay wages for such voluntary labor, and you have to pay 20% more?
Seeing that Yuan Shu was also concerned about the food and accommodation issues of workers, he was a little too good to the people.
But now Yuan Shu is the leader, so naturally, Cao Cao will do whatever he says, and even if you have any doubts, you have to bury them in your heart.
In fact, Cao Cao's mentality is very common in this era.
Many princes did not regard the people as human beings at all. In their hearts, the people were just cold data.
For example, how many soldiers were conscripted and how many people died in the year of disaster.
The princes only care whether these data pose a threat to their rule, and they don’t care about the lives and death of the people at all.
But Yuan Shu is different. The data is cold, but the people are living lives.
They are also fathers, mothers, wives, and sons of others.
Before coming to this era, Yuan Shu suffered all the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and unconsciously considered the feelings of the people.
