Li Longji slid his finger on the screen, "The river here is narrow, and there are too many mountains on both sides. There are dozens of miles of open space north of the Luoyang Palace, suitable for building warehouses. "
He confirmed the location. There were a group of hills north of Luoyang with many ravines.
Some people had terraced fields above. Li Yi took pictures with his drone and even captured the curious expressions on the people's faces when they looked up.
"Third Brother, look at the back. There are plans to build dozens of roads of different sizes.
If it's not too cold in winter, we'll build all the roads together.
Right now, it's not convenient to build a new city and move the capital elsewhere. Luoyang and Chang 'an have to be strengthened as political and economic centers. "
Li Yi finished the drawings and had three sets of backup drawings.
The construction difficulty and topography were taken into consideration when making the drawings. From north of Luoyang to the Yellow River, there were ravines on the left and right.
If the roads were built in the ravines, after it rained …
If there were ravines, there would be ridges. If the roads were built on the ridges, the slopes would be too steep. It would be difficult to drive a car, let alone drive a carriage.
If the roads were built on the mountainside, there would be a bunch of backup routes that took into consideration the soil composition of the mountain.
The people from Luoyang's Ministry of Works would inspect the site to see if it was possible and allow them to temporarily change the route.
"Move the capital?" Li Longji was stunned and seemed to be considering the feasibility.
"Third Brother, we won't move." Li Yi hurriedly persuaded. Without the money, even if they had the money, where would they move to?
Could they move to Youzhou, which was Beijing? Why would they go there?
The Khitans, Xi, and Bohai in the northeast were not enough to pose an absolute threat.
"I don't want to move the capital. In the future, when I go to various places in the Tang dynasty, I have to have a place to stay. Would it be convenient to build an imperial city on each road?"
Li Longji spoke his mind. He wanted to travel around, and when he arrived at a place, he wanted to visit the Imperial City instead of the Imperial Residence.
"Third Brother, I think it's fine." Li Yi shook his head slightly and said something in support.
"No." Several officials said at the same time.
After they said 'no', they looked at each other and did not say anything, waiting for someone else to speak.
Li Longji was also looking. Say, what's wrong?
"We have to ask what Gang Rou and Gang Rou are planning!" Zhang Jiuling didn't know why he was in the front. He couldn't just take two steps back.
The others nodded. Yes, if Xiao Yi said it could be done, it would naturally not be a waste of money and manpower. He valued the people's livelihood more than others.
"For example, three years later, His Majesty was fortunate enough to visit Yangzhou and wanted to build a city in Yangzhou's Jiangyang.
The newspapers reported how prosperous the area would be in the future, and how the railway would be built along the canal. Naturally, the rich people in the area would be interested.
The local land was prohibited from being bought and sold. If anyone wanted to sell, the local authorities would buy it.
However, if there were people who were willing to participate in the construction, they could use it as a rental fee and choose a good location.
Give them the blueprints and specifications, let them build it themselves, and rent it to them after they're done. Part of the cost of building the house will be deducted as rent. "
Li Yi came up with an idea. Don't sell the houses in advance. Ask others to invest money and labor. After the house is built, it will not belong to the other party.
"Others will agree?" Chu Dai Zhu Dan's eyes were filled with doubt as he asked.
"Ask the big businessmen in Chang 'an if they agree!" Li Yi mentioned Yu Huaide and the others.
"They will definitely agree, but why choose Jiangyang? Isn't Jiangning higher? It's easier to defend and attack from the south."
Yao Chong knew that the big businessmen in Chang 'an were rich and were training their children to take the imperial examinations. He allowed them to take the imperial examinations.
He felt that Jiangning's terrain was good. There were many mountains, high terrain, and it was stuck in the Yangtze River.
The place was low, and the enemy could attack by digging the river.
"If we don't fight there, it will cost a lot of money. Jiangyang has many water networks, and it's not far from Jiangning. We can slowly build Jiangning."
Li Yi did not want to build a big city in Nanjing. It would be troublesome.
Unless they lost the mountains and rivers north of the Yangtze River, they would build a capital in Nanjing.
Chu Dai Zhu Dan understood, but he looked on helplessly. Tubo did not seem to be able to use the same method.
"Settle it?" Bi Goo thought about not needing the Ministry of Revenue to pay for it and was tempted.
The Emperor should be the one paying for the Imperial City. The Emperor had a lot of money, and other places would be spent by others, and then he would collect taxes.
However, if it was three years later, he would probably have to join the Tuan Er.
"Third brother, why don't we settle it after this year?
There is coal and iron ore locally. We can burn bricks and cement, and maintain it in the future.
It will give the local people who have lost their land a chance to earn more money. The navy can go over, and Suzhou is not far from the sea.
It can be built before next autumn. If you want to go, you can go. It's the same work anywhere. "
Li Yi thought of Maanshan. It was upstream, and after Nanjing was Yangzhou.
It was connected to Suzhou in the south by a canal, and it reached Taihu Lake.
Suzhou was different from his time. A large area was in the sea, and it was convenient for the navy to come and go.
After the city was repaired with cement and bricks, he could go over and tidy up the ten miles of Qinhuai in Nanjing.
There was still no Confucius Temple there. There was no need to repair it, and it would not appear in the future.
As for one less scenic spot? There would be more scenic spots.
"The telephone line needs to be pulled over." Song Jing did not stop him. The Emperor's arrival in Yangzhou could drive the local economic development, and was beneficial to the country and the people.
Chang 'an was already developing steadily, and the Emperor's absence would have little impact.
Li Longji smiled. He could travel again, and the key was that it would not affect the imperial court.
He thought of the people who were rushing to Luoyang. "The gathering people have a difficult journey. Arrange a boat to help them. The cold weather will affect their job search."
Gao Lishi found the phone he pulled over and began to make arrangements.
…
In the inn where the woman and her four daughters were resting, the village constable kindly helped to boil the bathwater.
The Emperor's soldiers had come, which proved that they valued him. As the person in charge of the relay station, it was good to pretend.
The relay station had spare rooms for couples to use.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and took out the linen clothes from the storeroom of the relay station.
He told everyone that they could wash their clothes after bathing and change into this. The clothes would dry tomorrow before they left, so they could wash these clothes.
The people were happy and did not mind working. They could wash and wear clothes for one night.
They could simply go into the water. How dirty could the clothes after bathing be overnight?
If the bathwater was dirty, they could not wash the clothes after washing it once. The color of the water …
After washing it again, the water could not be used as ink.
When they washed their hair, a lot of lice and pests fell off. When they used a grate to scrape their scalp, the soap water that came off was full of bubbles.
Everyone was clearly tired from the day's journey, but after cleaning up, they lay on their beds and looked at the pea-sized kerosene lamp on the roof beam. However, they could not fall asleep.
The woman's two younger twin daughters were snoring. They had eaten too much.
The people of the Right Golden Guard went to the forest beside the relay station and hunted five rabbits. They roasted the rabbit meat and the two children ate an entire rabbit leg.
The children were not sensible and ate as they loved to eat meat.
The eldest and second daughters modestly declined and ate a few mouthfuls before stopping.
"Mother, can we walk to Luoyang in a month? I heard that there are still eight or nine hundred li to go. "
The eldest daughter stared at the light of the kerosene lamp. As she watched the light blur, she asked in a whisper.
"Yes, definitely. The Emperor's soldiers will protect us on the way. Don't worry."
As the woman spoke, she turned her head and found that her four daughters were all asleep. She looked up at the lamp and also felt sleepy.
She yawned and pressed the cloth bag she had brought with her under her body.
