Chapter 129 Too bad!

Chapter 129 is so outrageous!

Liu Xuan emphasized this not because he meant to embarrass Huang Chengyan, but because he wanted to take this opportunity to completely change the world.&*.

"After so many years of accumulated strength and such a long foundation, it's time to implement it..."

As soon as he went to court the next day, Liu Xuan directly raised the issue of 'returning the capital to Luoyang'.

In fact, the ministers of the DPRK and China had no objections to returning the capital to Luoyang.

The Han Dynasty had already established its capital in Luoyang, and moved the capital to Chang'an because of the special circumstances at that time. It was like being driven out by the traitor Dong Zhuo. Although everyone didn't say it, they had such a bad feeling in their hearts.

Now that the emperor has proposed that they can return to Luoyang in glory, there is naturally nothing to object to.

The key problem is that the imperial city of Luoyang was burned to the ground by fire, and the emperor moved the capital to Luoyang without even a place to stay. How could this be possible?

Therefore, the matter of building the palace was brought up as a matter of course.

But when Liu Xuan proposed the general design of the imperial city, all the civil and military officials in the court fell silent...

In fact, it is not a big deal for the emperor to build a palace. Generally, for an emperor who has made great achievements in the court and the world, even if he does not mention it himself, his officials will mention it, because it is a symbol of the emperor's status.

It's just that this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by the founding emperor. At that time, Liu Bang didn't even want to build a new palace. It was just that the ministers believed that not building a new palace would not reflect Liu Bang's achievements and status, so the new palace was built anyway.

In the Han Dynasty, apart from Emperor Gaozu, there was only one Emperor Wu who took the initiative to build a new palace.

From the current point of view, even if Liu Xuan's achievements are not as good as the founding of the country, they are no worse than Emperor Wu. After all, everyone in the court knows what the Han Dynasty was like ten years ago.

Looking at the present, the world has been restored from a state that was almost broken and turned into a divided state, and the people of the world have been able to live and work in peace and contentment. Building a new palace is a matter of course -

—Not to mention that the Luoyang Palace was destroyed, so there was even more suitable reason.

But...the palace in the minds of these ministers is definitely not the one the emperor is describing now.

Once the entire new palace is completed, there will be as many as 365 pavilions, pavilions and palaces, not to mention man-made lakes, gardens and hunting grounds, and there will even be dedicated garrisons.

The school field... this is simply a city. Where is the palace?

If anyone else had proposed this idea, they would have been scolded immediately: Yes, the current situation of the imperial court is very good, and the people have no need to worry about food due to continuous bumper harvests, but it can't be so harmful, right? If you really follow this

Standard manufacturing, just using civilians is an extremely terrifying number. Who has the energy to directly pacify the world?

But it was the emperor who proposed it, which made people confused. Should they object or not?

Liu Xuan looked at these people and saw that they were silent. He immediately guessed what these people were thinking, but no matter whether they objected or not, he would not change his mind.\\.com first release\\

Ultimately, he wanted to use this opportunity to bring about a new change to the people and the technical system under the influence of the imperial court.

His idea is similar to how some countries later designed a powerful battleship in order to develop industrial strength.

Then the entire country worked hard to develop a variety of new technologies for this battleship, and at the same time eliminated outdated and unsuitable old technologies. Therefore, by the time this battleship was built, the entire country's industry

The ability is equivalent to an upgrade.

What Liu Xuan wants to do is the same thing.

So he didn't even wait for a reply from this group of people, and directly issued a series of edicts - anyway, there were many of his cronies in the court, and these people would definitely remember every word he said and go there without discounting.

It can be done, and if those disobedient guys don't work hard during this 'reform', they will not be able to escape the fate of being eliminated after this change is over.

Of course, Liu Xuan will not deliberately favor one over the other. The opportunities are all equal. It depends on whether they can seize them.

After achieving currency unification and circulation, Liu Xuan's next step was to unify weights and measures and measurement units.

Zhang and feet were no longer enough to meet Liu Xuan's requirements. He needed more detailed units, so meters, centimeters and millimeters were directly mentioned by him.

At the same time, the weights of kilograms and kilograms were redefined and became more consistent with Liu Xuan's habits.

Liu Xuan did not force promotion. Anyway, when the imperial city started to be built and the imperial court purchased various raw materials from various places, it would directly use the new measurement units as the standard. Then these people who wanted to sell their materials to the imperial court would be better

Anyone who has made a fortune can only take the initiative to accept the new unit of measurement.

Then through this group of people, it will slowly radiate to the whole country - when the new palace is built, people across the country will also adapt to the new units.

In addition, the court's collection of grain and taxes will also be calculated according to new standards. By then, the largest number of farmers and farm owners will also accept the new units of measurement, and this new standard will be completely popularized.

Already.

This is much more effective than blunt and direct implementation, and it will not cause public rejection.

In addition to this matter, many similar decrees were promulgated, most of which dealt with this aspect. In the end, although Liu Xuan did not say it explicitly, everyone in the civil and military dynasties understood one thing.

The next most important thing for the imperial court is to help the emperor repair the new palace at all costs!

After careful calculation, it actually doesn't matter. Now even Yuzhou has regained its vitality. As for the four states in Hebei that have just been restored to the imperial rule, Yuan Shao is not a Yellow Turban. Even if he governs according to the original method, as long as he does not take a large amount of money from the people

They collect food from here and live the same life.

But now that the imperial court is not short of food, how could it snatch it from the people of Hebei? So what Hebei has to do is to pass on new planting methods, new seeds, and arrange harvest formations. Even if the imperial court needs a blood transfusion, it will only be

Just a small part to alleviate the temporary dilemma.

Therefore, Hebei will not be affected by the construction of a new palace by the imperial court. Although the imperial court has increased the amount of currency issuance, this is a normal increase due to the expansion of the territory, the increase of people and the improvement of resource reserves, and will not directly

Cause the collapse of the monetary system.

At least the several grain and meat shops officially operated by the imperial court still set prices according to the original standards, so the new currency was put into the private sector without the people even noticing it.

Moreover, as the credibility of the court was restored, the people also had enough confidence in the coins issued by the court, which brought the court to a new level economically - the court began to use the currency it issued to purchase needed supplies.

, in fact, it was at this time that currency began to have value to the court.

After the court was dismissed, several important ministers did not leave. They still needed to continue discussing the issue of the new palace with the emperor.

At this time, the discussion is no longer about whether to build it, but how to build it? How many craftsmen and civilians need to be recruited, and what impact it will have on the court in the next few years.

Liu Xuan didn't pay much attention to these matters and directly referred them to Huang Chengyan, the Minister of Industry. Huang Chengyan looked like a hard-working man since he came to court today, and he still looks like this now.

Even a few ministers discussed several general plans: first build the main buildings, such as the meeting place for the court, the palace where the emperor and the queens and concubines lived, and the place where the emperor usually handled government affairs; and those such as gardens and school grounds.

Ah, we’ll talk about artificial lakes and the like later.

But even so, Huang Chengyan's face still looked ugly! But the more they discussed, the more he felt: The emperor seemed to be planning some big plan?

"Could it be that... you want me to make more efforts in immortal magic?"

Although he had some ideas, Huang Chengyan still didn't know what to do, so he still had a bitter look on his face when he went home. This led to Liu Xuan just having lunch, and Huang Yueying came running over.

"What did you say to my father?"

Liu Xuan seemed to have expected that she would come, so he did not hide anything and directly told everything he had ordered.

"ha?"

Huang Yueying did not expect that her father's headache was caused by her casual words that day, "It would be better to live in a new house."

It seemed a little awkward for a moment, but this girl was embarrassed, and her mind was spinning fast enough.

"You must build the new palace before the eleventh year of Jian'an, right?"

"right!"

"So...any means can be used?"

Liu Xuan smiled: "As long as you can think of it, and... in the next period of time, if you have any ideas that you want to test, the Weapon Refining Department will fully assist you!"

Huang Yueying completely understood that Qingqing not only wanted to bring about changes in the country, but also wanted to try her own skills. It was estimated that if she could not give him a satisfactory answer this time, then she would no longer have any status in the future - maybe the only one that existed

The meaning is because I am a woman.

She felt very unhappy when she thought of that situation, so Huang Yueying gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "Okay, I'll show you what I can do!"

"I am very excited……"

After Liu Xuan said this, he ignored the matter. He did have the idea of ​​​​testing Huang Yueying's ability by the way, but in his opinion, even if Huang Yueying was talented in the spells he taught, she wanted to

It would take a year at the earliest to take something out.

Unexpectedly, within five days, Huang Yueying called herself to the square that was opened separately for the Weapon Refining Department as a training ground, then pointed at something and said to herself: "What do you think of this?"

Liu Xuan blinked and looked at the chariot in front of him, which was not pulled by any animals and was floating about half a meter above the ground. Then he looked at Huang Yueying with a surprised look on his face: "Isn't this girl too outrageous?"
