In the autumn of the second year of Tiandao (764), the two sides of the lower reaches of the Dnieper River became ripe.

Zaporoze, no, no, he is now called Huju City, or Xijing City. It has just been completed and is spanning the Dnieper River with a majestic and generous posture.

The entire city is divided into three parts:

The east city on the east bank is the west city on the west bank is the river center island in the middle, which is the later Holticha Island. On the island that is now renamed Longpan Island is the imperial palace of the Great Qin Empire, and the Forbidden City of Emperor Qin is also the forbidden City.

The east and west cities are square in shape, with four city gates. Behind each city gate is an inner horse wall about 100 meters long and 20 meters wide. One thousand elite cavalry or two thousand elite infantry can be invested at one time for attack.

The Dnieper River was introduced around both cities as a moat, and a suspension bridge was set up at the connection between the moat and the city gate.

Due to the existence of Longpan Island, the Qin Empire was able to cut off a river and then build a formal bridge at the narrowest part of the island and the mainland. At present, two large stone bridges connecting the east and west banks have been built. The stone bridge adopts the shape of a combination of concrete piers and traditional Chinese stone arch bridges. The bridge deck is flat, about ten meters wide, and four heavy-load carriages can be passed side by side.

The city is completely Chinese-style building, with bricks wrapped on the outer layer of the city wall or smoldered blue bricks and rammed earth in the middle. On both sides of the Dnieper River, some are high-quality clay. The city walls are generally fifteen meters high and three meters wide on average.

The layout and style of the city are also typical Chinese style, with flying eaves, blue bricks, green tiles, and cross streets, with a simplicity and purity of a rich Chinese style.

There are tall bells and drum towers in the middle of the city. Whenever the bells and drums sound at hourly o'clock, the residents in the three castles can hear them.

The two cities, east and west, were built with a circumference of twenty miles. There was a Cross Street in the middle, which divided the entire castle into four parts. Each part was divided into four yard areas with a Cross Street. In the middle was the government office, the Bell and Drum Tower, and some of the troops were stationed, which was also equivalent to the inner city of the castle.

The bells and drum towers in both cities are about twenty meters. After using concrete, the spiral stairs can be easily arranged to go up. There is also a bells and drum tower in the middle of the Forbidden City on Longpan Island, but its height reaches an astonishing thirty-six meters!

At this time, forty-four-year-old Sun Xiurong was standing on the top floor of the Bell and Drum Tower, bathing in the warm afternoon sun and the north wind that came from time to time, quietly staring at his city.

The entire Forbidden City is about eight miles in circumference, the palace city is in the middle, surrounded by military camps, his three guard camps: Bogda, Bogra and Aslan camps are located in the east and west.

Near the Dnieper River, there is the Central Office of the Great Qin Empire. The east side is mainly the Qinzheng Hall, which is also the office of the three ministries of Li, House and Personnel. In addition, the Inspectorate and Censorship Department are also the office of the Secretary of the Shangshu and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites Ma Lin.

The west is mainly Wude Hall, which is also the office of the Ministry of War, Punishment and Work. In addition to the Lifan Court, it is also the office of the Secretary of the Shangshu Zuo Pushe, the Grand Commander, and the Minister of War Li Feishouyu.

In the palace, the Office of the Internal Affairs is also divided into two, with two government offices, which are managed by the inner court and the deputy general manager to enter the office.

In the East City, there is a comprehensive military university of the Qin Empire. Currently, the president is lieutenant and the commander of the Melgen camp, Naren Xiaofeng, who recruits one thousand students of four types of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and navy every year. Of course, there are real cavalry schools on the Donetsk prairie in the east, which mainly trains low-level officers.

In Xicheng, Daqin University, the largest empire and the most majors, is planning to recruit 2,000 students of all kinds every year. Currently, the president is Xi Yuanjing, who graduated from the former capital Alishi Tianshan University.

On the outer edge of the east and west cities, there is a golden area at first glance. After the breeze blows, the wheat waves are very beautiful one after another, and the wheat fragrance is refreshing.

Around Huju City, a radius of 500 miles, 50,000 Persian immigrants, 50,000 Tang Dynasty immigrants (from Tubasidan), 50,000 Mitrahurami immigrants, 30,000 Tuyuhun and Supi immigrants from Tubo, a total of 180,000 households, close to one million people.

After arriving near Huju City, the Ministry of Revenue dispatched a large number of manpower to mix it together, with one hundred households as a village, one thousand households as a township, five thousand households as a county, and six counties as a county, and one county roughly arranged on the vast black soil.

In this way, there are thirty-six counties and six counties around Huju City.

In addition, the three major counties, mainly the Antes, Dacians, Romans and Lviv, Vicenza and Odessa, were previously the three counties, including Lviv, Vicenza and Odessa. There are nine counties in the entire Dnieper Province (later Ukraine) centered on Huju City, with nearly 400,000 households and two million people!

If this is added to the Mazar people on the east bank of the Dnieper River and the herders of the Pogra who migrated to the Donetsk prairie, the total number is close to 2.5 million!

Two million and five million are comparable to the population that the entire Khanate could control before, and are almost the same as the combined population of the Bulgar Khanate (Bulgaria) and Aval Khanate (Transylvania), which still regard themselves as the Khanate, which nowadays, are still regarded as the Khanate.

With the 140,000 regular troops arranged in the province, the power of the province alone is enough to deal with possible attacks from the Slav Varyag tribe who accepted the Vikings as leaders from the north, the Visva tribe of the Poles' ancestors, the Pecheneg tribe in the east, and the Bulgar Khanate in the west.

The six guards and lieutenants led by Sun Xiurong, totaling more than 30,000 people, were the largest mobile force itself. After the completion of Huju City, he selected some young people from the new Tuyuhun, Supi, Mazar, Hurami, Mitra, and Persians, and added four new battalions, two included in the lieutenant army, and two included in the guards. In this way, the army guarding the capital increased to 55,000!

In other words, once Sun Xiurong leads the team to fight in person, he can leave five camps to guard Huju City, and can take them out to five camps.

The five battalions are of nearly 30,000 people, and they are still quasi-modern troops with artillery and crossbows. This unit is enough for the surrounding forces to drink a pot of food.

According to the previous agreement with the immigrants, since early houses were built for them in advance, oxen and seeds were provided. After each household allocated fifty acres of black soil, 30% of the harvest in the first three years were required to pay 30% as repayment of the house. The actual tax was only 20% and the other 10% was used as compensation to the state.

Even so, the taxes of the Qin Empire were strong throughout Europe, especially when serfdom was still widely implemented around the surrounding area.

In addition, the Empire also drew a large number of craftsmen from the jurisdiction of Tokyo and Zhongjing to move into Huju City. There are about 10,000 households in the east and west cities. Relying on the surrounding rich, extremely easy to mine and high-quality iron ore (the west bank of the Dnieper River), coal mine (Donetsk), manganese ore (Nicopol), high-quality clay ore (near Huju City), forest resources (there are abundant oaks, oaks, and beechs in a radius of 500 miles) to carry out the construction of a large workshop centered on coal-steel composites.

After the completion of Huju City, Jewish merchants from Europe and the world of Dashi came one after another and set up shops in the city. At this time, with the merchants of the empire, tens of thousands of merchants had settled in the East City (Dongcheng, a single fang district) and West City (Xicheng, a single fang district).

High-quality fur, livestock from the Dnieper River, the Dnieper River prairie, grain, iron kit, clothing kit, washing kit, weapon kit, honey, wood, gum, seafood from the Black Sea, salt from the Caspian Sea, cotton from the Zhongjing area, silk from the Tubasidan are all traded here.

With abundant items and reasonable prices, it is just around the corner to become the commercial center of the whole of Europe.

There is also a large shipyard in Huju City, with a new fleet and merchant ships under construction.

In addition, since the completion of Huju City, according to Sun Xiurong's plan, the cities of each county and county are also under construction as planned. After they are all completed, the primary facility is the school. He is planning to include all children of appropriate age from various tribes into an education system with a distinctive style of the Daqin family.

Chinese, or Tang language, has been promulgated as the official language of the empire under the situation of the code. Since there are a large number of immigrants from the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, Youzhou dialect is also replacing Chang'an dialect as the standard form of the official language of the empire at a visible speed.

Just as the completion of Baghdad City is of significance to the Black Food and Food, the completion of Huju City is equally important to Sun Xiurong.

At this point, everything seemed to be settled, and he could slowly plan his European strategy with the city as the center.

He worked hard and worked hard for decades. Isn’t it just for this day?

He is already forty-four years old and must make big plans as soon as possible.

Beside him, Yu Linghui, a former eunuch of the Tang Dynasty, was standing waiting for his orders, and was the adopted son of Yu Linghui, the chief supervisor of the Interior Affairs Office of the Qin Empire.

"Notify the people from the six ministries, Lifan Court, Inspectorate Office, Censorate, and Dnieper Province to come..."

"Go to Qinzheng Hall for a meeting and let him arrive within a moment."

"yes"

Not long after, a strange bell sound came from the bell and drum tower. It was not the same as the hour, obviously not for time notification. The bell sounded up and down, with rhythm and tone that only experts could understand.

This was a new attempt by Sun Xiurong. He was going to summon his ministers to come for a meeting with the sound of bells and drums. This time it was the first attempt after moving in at Huju City.

Not long after, four-wheeled high-end horse-drawn carriages that had been replaced with a rough rubber wheel platform appeared one by one on the bridge connecting the Forbidden City and the East-West and East-West cities. When Sun Xiurong came from the 36-meter-high bell and drum tower to the Qinzheng Hall, the ministers had been waiting for a long time.

He couldn't help but nodded secretly.

“It seems that this method is pretty good”

This time, his sons were not there, and he was the only one sitting high on the dragon throne.

The agenda had been sent in advance. After the ministers sat down, each of them had a card in their hands. One of the two attendants, today they were the rotating attendants. General Bai Xiaode stood up.

"The first dynasty meeting of the Great Qin Empire officially began!"
Chapter completed!
