The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 321 Planning Luoyang

I am really not familiar with the so-called navy. As for becoming a rich man, to be honest, if the world is peaceful, it is better to be a rich man than to be a general who is feared by Liu Tai.

But now, no matter how you look at it, continuing to be a military commander has a brighter future.

So Zhao Gu saluted Liu Tai and said, "Gu is willing to station at the border and restore my old homeland of the Han Dynasty to repay the great king for his kindness!"

When Liu Tai heard Zhao Gu's words, he also recognized Zhao Gu's decision and said, "Then I will appoint you as the captain of Jinyang and take charge of Jinyang's military. If you can regain the entire territory of Bingzhou, you will definitely be rewarded!"

Zhao Gu didn't dare to say anything. Since it was the path he chose, he wanted to show off no matter what, so he immediately saluted Liu Tai to express his gratitude. After getting Liu Tai's permission, he withdrew.

To be honest, even when Zhao An went to clean up the area in Bingzhou, he did not take back all the land in Bingzhou. Basically, he only took back Jinyang City.

The most critical thing is that since Liu Kun came to power, basically all the Han people in Bingzhou have gone to Jinyang.

Although it cannot be said that there are no Han people in other counties in Bingzhou, they have basically lost contact with them.

Therefore, Zhao An only took back Jinyang at the beginning and did not continue to expand northward and continue to regain the lost territory.

The most important reason is that the population in the north is not enough. Even if you recapture other counties, you will still need soldiers to station them and the population to multiply. A city without people is essentially just a deserted city.

For Liu Tai, it was enough to capture Jinyang by himself and form a containment on the foreign races north of Jinyang.

At least until he completed the unification of the country, Liu Tai did not think about regaining the lost territory.

Because with the arrival of the Little Ice Age, the precipitation line moved southward, which made it difficult to cultivate the land in the north. At the same time, he did not have enough people to migrate, so he had to wait until he completed the unification of the world and then gradually regain the land north of Bingzhou.

If Zhao Gu can really gradually regain the north without his own support, it will naturally be a good thing for Liu Tai.

As for Zhao Gu interfering with the Lord, to be honest, Liu Tai felt that it was enough that Zhao Gu would not betray.

Because Zhao Gu is somewhat of a loser, but as long as he is not weak, it is not a big deal for him to surrender to a foreign race for the sake of his reputation both before and after his death.

If he really had no sense of propriety, justice and shame, he would have gone to Liu Cong directly instead of going to Liu Kun to hide his identity.

However, his circumstances or his boss are not strong enough to support him to be a loyal and loyal minister.

But if he always gives him a strong image, then Zhao Gu will definitely be his supporter.

Besides, although Zhao Gu has changed jobs so many times, he is not the type to betray directly. He always surrenders when the overall situation is irreversible.

To put it simply, Zhao Gu can show his strength in the downwind game, but there is no need to count on him in the headwind game.

And Liu Tai didn't count too much on Zhao Gu. After all, when he had to count on Zhao Gu, what kind of desperate situation would he face.

So he took advantage of the situation and sent Zhao Gu to Bingzhou. If Zhao Gu has inherent strength, he can really make meritorious deeds in Jinyang. If Zhao Gu has no strength, then he can go to Jinyang for retirement.

After all, he had no intention of sending troops to fully recover Bingzhou for a long time. For generals, it was naturally a place to retire.

As Zhao Gu's affairs were settled, Liu Tai came to the government affairs hall. At this time, Chu Hui and others were handling government affairs. When they saw Liu Tai coming, everyone just saluted Liu Tai and then bowed their heads. Keep working.

Liu Tai knocked on the table, then watched everyone raise their heads, looked at Chu Hui and said, "Mouyuan, how much food and grass do we have?"

Chu Hui couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your Majesty, can't you wait even a year? We just conquered the Central Plains this year. Although the consumption along the way was less than we expected, there was not much food left after the conquest of Luoyang.

It is better to ask the king to wait until this autumn harvest and obtain sufficient food before embarking on the expedition! "

When Liu Tai heard Chu Hui's words, he couldn't help but said, "Mouyuan, you have misunderstood me. Am I someone who doesn't care about people's livelihood?

With the capture of Luoyang, we naturally need to manage Luoyang as a front line. Why do you think I am only focusing on food and grass? "

When Chu Hui heard Liu Tai's words, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and then said, "The king doesn't use food and grass, but he discusses it with me and others in detail like this. I'm afraid he is targeting something more precious than food and grass!"

"Bah!" Liu Tai couldn't help but clapped his hands suddenly and said with a smile, "I know you have a keen eye for your future. I want to move at least 20,000 households to Luoyang!"

"What!" Chu Hui couldn't help but stand up after hearing Liu Tai's words and said to Liu Tai, "Your Majesty, do you know what you are talking about.

The current Luoyang has been completely destroyed by Liu Yao and General Wang's conquest of Luoyang.

It is true that reconstruction is needed, but more importantly, Luoyang is now the front line.

With the puppet Zhao watching in the west and the Jin court threatening it in the south, this is not a safe place. "

"I know!" Liu Tai took a deep breath and continued, "So it is even more necessary for the population to migrate to Luoyang as a frontier for our future westward expedition.

Although the construction of Yongji Canal and the distance between Luoyang and Youzhou, we cannot expect that in the future, when we conquer Chang'an, recapture Longyou, or even march into Hanzhong, all the weapons, equipment, materials and food needed will start from Youzhou and then be transferred. To Luoyang!

Therefore, the reconstruction of Luoyang is almost imminent. If we prepare early, we will have more confidence in our expedition in the future. "

To be honest, Youzhou's Coal and Steel Division really provided Liu Tai with a lot of help, but Liu Tai knew very well that the steel produced here was only used in the area north of the Yellow River, and even more in the Central Plains.

But if you want to supply it to Luoyang, Chang'an, or even areas farther west, it's not that it's impossible, but the freight cost is really unaffordable.

Therefore, I definitely need to transfer all industrial facilities in a series to places like Luoyang Chang'an.

If you want to transfer these industrial projects, you will naturally need enough population to support these cities.

After hearing Liu Tai's words, Chu Hui couldn't help but look at each other towards Wen Qiao, Xi Canjun, Zhang Song, Yang Man, Xun Chuo and others.

Obviously, since Liu Tai raised this matter, it will naturally be put on the agenda, and they also know that if the Han Dynasty is really restored, both Chang'an and Luoyang must be rebuilt.

There is no way. When Liu Tai returns to the old capital in the future, one of these two cities will definitely become the capital, and it is even possible for both to become the capital. Under such circumstances, Liu Tai now wants to move the people there first, not only because he wants to serve as a bridgehead for the conquest of Chang'an out of current strategic considerations, but he even wants to pave the way for the future reconstruction of Luoyang Chang'an.

Therefore, everyone present knew very well that since Liu Tai proposed it, it would naturally be implemented!

Chu Hui took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to move the population to Luoyang, it is natural.

However, Luoyang has a special geographical location and may become the capital of the Han Dynasty in the future, so the migrating population needs to be cautious. "

"What do you mean?" Liu Tai was a little confused when he heard Chu Hui's words.

"First recruit people in Yecheng and Qingzhou areas. If the population is not enough, then slowly recruit people from other areas!" Chu Hui said.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Tai couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he heard Chu Hui's words.

"To attract good news, let's say that we plan to unify the world and make Luoyang the capital, so now we plan to recruit reports to enrich Luoyang!" Chu Hui said: "If this is the case, I believe the people will be somewhat interested, at least it will be better than our forced relocation! "

"What if the capital in the future is not Luoyang, but Chang'an?" Wen Qiao couldn't help but wonder after hearing Chu Hui's words.

Chu Hui said calmly, "It's just a rumor in the market. Our officialdom has never acknowledged this matter."

"..." Liu Tai heard Chu Hui's words and immediately felt how sophisticated this guy was.

Those who were willing to move to Luoyang with him, and finally found themselves in Chang'an, were afraid that they would be like parents who bought a school district house based on hearsay. In the end, the elementary school was established, but admissions were not based on school district housing. Now that I'm a student, leek roots are cut off each and every one of them alive.

However, after thinking about it, there is a Luoshui River outside Luoyang, and it is already extremely dirty. Come to think of it, I don’t mind getting a little dirtier.

After all, the imperial court neither admits nor denies such ambiguous rumors, which is better than someone pointing at Luoshui and farting!

And Liu Tai didn't intend to lie completely, because in Liu Tai's philosophy, it would be best for the Han Dynasty to implement a two-city system in the future, with Chang'an as the political center and Luoyang as the economic center. It would be best to create a Sui and Tang version of the Grand Canal, so that Completely complete the unification of the Huaxia region.

Under such circumstances, both Chang'an and Luoyang are considered the capitals, so I won't lie to others.

Liu Tai couldn't help but said, "Let's release this news first, especially in the Qingzhou area. If anyone wants to move to Luoyang, it will be a priority."

After hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone thought for a moment and nodded in approval. The Qingzhou area is where Liu Tai started his career. Liu Tai's seat was moved from Qingzhou to the current Yecheng. For many people in the Qingzhou area, it is Quite reluctant to give up.

There is no way, the many resources at the feet of the governance are naturally beyond what a special economic zone can match today.

Even in modern China, which Chinese citizen wishes he could be reincarnated directly at the feet of the emperor. The best place to join is a courtyard house. As long as he does not start a business, he can live a more or less stable life.

Now the temptation of this most beautiful place is enough to attract many people to go to Luoyang with their families.

Especially the people of Qingzhou. After all, many things are precious only after they are lost. Now there is an opportunity for them to become the people of Liu Taizhi. With the accumulation of these years, the people of Qingzhou who have mastered a certain amount of capital will take advantage of this opportunity to migrate to Qingzhou. Where is Luoyang!

To be honest, Liu Tai is not very clear.

But Liu Tai knew that many people who were born on the coast would be more adventurous than many people who worked in the inland.

The reason is very simple. Even if productivity increases as ships continue to be updated, relying on the sea to make a living requires taking very high risks, while relying on cultivating the land to make a living is relatively more stable.

Liu Tai knocked on the table, and then said, "Let this news go out first, and we will count the people who want to move to Luoyang first.

In addition, I will also need to go to Luoyang in the spring to make a relatively comprehensive plan for Luoyang in person! "

"Does the king need to go in person?" Chu Hui couldn't help but frowned when he heard Liu Tai's words, and said, "How about letting Cao Changshi put aside the project at hand and make the plan for Luoyang first?"

"Let me go. After all, no matter how Uncle Cao designs it, he has never seen how a city with a population of one million should be planned, what kind of traffic layout is needed, what kind of facilities need to be prepared, and how much space should be set aside. The city is redundant." Liu Tai said to Chu Hui, "In addition to the city itself, the configuration around the city, especially elementary schools, hospitals, transportation, and the supply of food and vegetables, etc., are top priorities!"

Chu Hui looked at Liu Tai and wanted to open his mouth and say, "You have never seen a city with a population of one million."

But Chu Hui's words turned into, "Your Majesty, please give it your best. I look forward to seeing how prosperous our Han Dynasty's capital with a population of one million will be as soon as possible!"

Chu Hui chose to believe Liu Tai in the end.

After all, since the death of Wang Mi, Liu Tai has grown step by step to the undisputed overlord of the north, and even the person most likely to unify the entire world. Liu Tai himself is creating miracles.

And even if others don't believe in Liu Tai's administrative abilities, don't those who follow Liu Tai know it clearly?

Basically, Liu Tai completed the planning and framework in the direction of government affairs, while he and others were improving the details of government affairs.

"You will naturally meet me then!" Liu Tai was full of confidence at the moment.

Although I have never studied urban planning, I have seen urban planning demonstration plans from many cities, so I know the general style.

The most important thing is that Liu Tai knows what industries Luoyang needs to develop in the future and what configurations are needed. He only needs to successfully settle each project in the Luoyang Basin according to local conditions, plan roads and rivers, and then divide the area. Leave enough redundant space, and the population that will gradually fill up in the future will make your planning more reasonable.

After all, a city with a population of one million sounds like a lot, but not to mention the floating population above coastal prefecture-level cities, even the permanent population is often less than 6 million. By the way, Shantou, sit down, you have nothing to do here.

And how does a city with tens of millions of people in it work? People in this era can't even imagine how a city with a population of millions should live.

This is the biggest difference between Liu Tai and even the greatest architect of this era.

At the same time, Liu Tai knew better that if he successfully unified the world, with the increase in productivity and the opening up of Youzhou and Yuhang with the Grand Canal, the siphon effect brought by this would inevitably make Luoyang become a super-large city with a population of one million. City.

This is a vision that other designers do not have.
