Seven days in a row.

Li Yuan accompanied Xin Sheng, and Xin Zhui traveled to every corner of Leyouyuan, surveying every place that might have an impact on urban construction. Li Yuan said that Xin Zhui finally painted a

Panoramic blueprint of the new city and schematic diagrams of various public buildings in small blocks.

At the ensuing court meeting, in front of a group of officials, Li Yuan was high-spirited and confident, and Jiang Shan pointed out: "The location of the new city to be built has been surveyed. It is just east of Leyouyuan, between Fengjing and Haojing.

On the plain between them, it is about fifty miles away from Xianyang."

"In terms of the layout of the new city, there will be twelve city gates and eight main roads, four vertical lanes and four horizontal lanes, crisscrossing each other. The city is divided into east and west areas, with the business area to the east and the accommodation area to the west -!"

Li Yuan's continuous explanations stunned the Qin officials who had no idea about urban planning. They never imagined that Li Yuan stayed with the youngest daughter of Xin Sheng's family for seven days and seemed to be a changed person when he came back.

"Why should the commercial area be placed in the east, when the West Market in Xianyang Old Town is where merchants gather?" Chen Ping finally asked after Li Yuan took a breath.

"Well, that's a good question. The reason for this design is a decision made after fully considering the wind directions in different seasons in the Guanzhong area. The northwest wind is what we Qin people feel most of the year. Therefore, the business area is placed in the east.

"The odor of cattle, horses and livestock will not affect everyone's daily life." Li Yuan unfolded a delicate drawing and answered domineeringly. It is not easy to compare with a wise man like Chen Ping.

On the drawing, a majestic and majestic city appears on the paper. In the southwest and south direction of the city, there is a contiguous group of palaces. Compared with Epang Palace and Wangyi Palace, the palaces on the drawing are much fewer and smaller.

; In the central area of ​​the city, there is a

The long stone tablet towering into the clouds is engraved with the names of the soldiers who died for the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Qin State. Many of their bones are buried in unknown barren mountains and wild mountains. Now, their names will be recorded and remembered for generations.

It will be passed down from generation to generation to the people of Qin.

"This is a heroic city, a city engraved with the names of countless passionate men of the Qin Dynasty, a city that symbolizes the revival of the Qin Dynasty -!" Li Yuan was impassioned. At this moment, the excitement in his heart was no less than charging on the battlefield.

At the moment of the trap, this is another stage for him to fight.

Hearing Li Yuan's explanation, everyone nodded and looked at Li Yuan with admiration. Xin Sheng, the only one who knew, closed his eyes and looked like he was sleeping.

The old man is very tired.

Accompanying two energetic young people, who had an idea now and then another thought, Xin Sheng felt as if his old brain had been washed.

Li Yuan glanced at the ministers with satisfaction and said: "Let me talk about the most important point below. During the construction of the new city, eight main canals will be introduced from the Weishui River and eight water gates will be set up. The diversion canals will run through the entire city. In the water canals

On both sides of the building, several public bathhouses and toilets will be built.

, at the same time, stone paths for discharging sewage and sewage will also be arranged underground. The stone paths are uniformly lined with bluestones of the same standard, and the joints are moistened with glutinous juice to prevent sewage from overflowing. In this way, people living in this city

People’s physical diseases can be minimized—!”

The young generals were in high spirits when they heard Li Yuan's words, and the sense of honor in their hearts was aroused. The old courtiers were stunned, first shaking their heads and then nodding, and then they didn't know whether to agree or object, Li Yuan said.

Yuan's imagination and courage made them feel the age difference.

"This is a young man's world!" Yang Xiong hammered his chest hard with his remaining arm and let out a sigh of relief and approval.

"If you don't have any objections, I think this new city can be named: Chang'an City. It means long-term peace and stability. It will protect our country and make Daqin safe and secure in the future." Li Yuan continued.

"Chang'an City, a good name from Marquis Li!" Ying Yushu, who only symbolized his surname to participate in the court meeting, listened to the opinions of the ministers, couldn't help but echoed.

The rise of the Qin State was not smooth sailing. In more than three hundred years, the Qin State was occupied by the enemy twice, both by the Di people in the early Spring and Autumn Period. Ying Yushu has always remembered these historical events.

Now, when she heard that Li Yuan named the capital Chang'an, she was overjoyed.

April of the second year of the Qin Dynasty.

Under Li Yuan's insistence, the construction of the new capital was put on schedule, and the Han army and Chu army prisoners were used as coolies to dig trenches.

After Liu Bang paid the first ransom, it was time for March and April when the spring and summer crops could not be supplied. Although the Bashu area was a granary, it would take until June for the corn to mature. He felt sorry for the dead and treated the wounded.

When the events came together and the Han Dynasty's treasury deficit worsened, even if Prime Minister Xiao He tried his best, he could not collect the second batch of ransom.

In desperation, Liu Bang had no choice but to send another envoy to speak up and ask for another delay in the transaction. This time, Liu Bang also learned the lesson. The lesson that Lu Jia never returned is still in front of him, so the envoy sent this time

His position is not high and he is just a nameless person. Apart from being a sharp talker, he doesn't seem to have much ability. If Li Yuan wants to stay, he has nothing to lose.

Those who insist on not surrendering until now are probably those who have strong hatred for the Qin State, or are close associates of one of the generals in the Han army. Such prisoners cannot be moved by simple persuasion. The construction of the new city requires a lot of labor.

, and these captured soldiers are the most free human resources. Since Liu Bang is not in a hurry to redeem them, Li Yuan naturally has no idea of ​​raising these captured soldiers in vain.

Thanks to the efforts of Xin Sheng and officials from the General's Shaofu Mansion, Chang'an City was started step by step according to the design of the drawings. Xin Zhui was very professional and calculated with gusto when faced with a lot of numerical arrangements and combinations.

Li Yuan, who was accompanying the calculation, could not help but feel jealous.

If this little girl were to live in a later life, wouldn't she be a top scorer in the college entrance examination and a rival like the number one scholar in the university? In addition, she is smart and cute, and her lethality has skyrocketed.

——.

Xianyang.

The former site of Wangyi Palace.

Most of the ruins of the burned palace have been cleaned up. The eldest princess Ying Yushu, the princess Huating Ying Yuman, and Gu Yunniang who have reconciled with each other all live here.

Three women and one play.

For these three women who have different thoughts about Li Yuan, these days are the days when they feel the most urgent crisis, because what they are about to face is a powerful opponent that seems impossible to defeat - Xin Zhui.

The dignified Marquis Shenwu, Li Yuan, who had always been disdainful of women, actually deigned to go to the Xin Mansion every day for the sake of a fourteen or five-year-old girl who had not yet grown up.

Isn’t this beauty a disaster?

In the past, King You of Zhou favored Bao Si and played tricks on the princes, leading to the destruction of the country. King Zhou of Shang favored Daji, causing Zhou to destroy the strong merchants. Now the Qin State has just embarked on the road to recovery. If Li Yuan's mind is not on government affairs, the Qin State will

How can we talk about revival, and how can we defeat the covetous Kwantung princes?

Palace bedroom.

It was a rare occasion for the three women to come together and ask, "Sister, what do you think we should do?" The most anxious person was not Ying Yushu or Gu Yunniang, but Ying Yuman, whom Li Yuan had never interacted with from beginning to end.

Ying Yushu smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, what are you in a hurry for? Li Hou is just trying to be fresh. If you really talk about feelings, let alone others, it is the girl of the Gu family. She has been with her through life and death many times. How can a little girl be compared?

Got it?"

After Ying Yushu finished speaking, she looked at Gu Yunniang who had been silent for a long time. With her identity and status, it was absolutely impossible for her to do something about being jealous. Apart from other things, she couldn't find a reason.

, the sister-in-law has to take care of the brother-in-law, and she is also a widowed sister-in-law, so this matter is out of character.

Gu Yunniang stood up and smiled softly. Dressed in purple, she had become plumper and fairer recently. This was mainly because she had reduced her workload, and because she could see Li Yuan from time to time, she was in a good mood.

Ying Yuman's selection skills were too superficial. None of the sisters took action, leaving her alone to risk offending Li Yuan to dissuade her. This was a clever idea. She, Gu Yunniang, was also the former oiran of Peony House.

, if you can’t even see through this little bit of thought, there’s no need to mess around.

"Did Sister Gu say she was willing to quit again?" Ying Yuman said excitedly.

Gu Yunniang's eyes flashed with a stern look, she stared at Ying Yuman and said word by word: "Who Li Hou likes is his business. I can't care about it, and I don't have the right to care about it. However, since I'm here, I won't leave.

, I believe that as long as I persist, I will become his woman one day."

"You, why are you like this?" Ying Yuman hesitated. She was completely defeated by this naked confession. Compared with Gu Yunniang, who dared to love and hate, Ying Yuman had not even touched the corner of Li Yuan's clothes. Really

It was not Gu Yunniang who was not qualified to talk about this matter, but her.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. Another day, I will invite Miss Xin's family to the palace to talk. Don't you understand what is going on when you meet people?" Ying Yushu said calmly.

"Sister, just make the decision." Gu Yunniang smiled and walked out like a breeze blowing in the willows.

The former sisters, after experiencing the turmoil of love, only had a superficial friendship left. When they met again in Yongzhou City, although Ying Ying and Gu temporarily gained an understanding, the cracks in their hearts already existed.

, can never return to the previous state of intimacy.

"Sister, look at her——!" Ying Yuman muttered dissatisfied.

"Yu Man, there is something I want to warn you. If you have that intention, it is best not to do anything or think about anything when Miss Xin enters the palace. Do you understand?" Ying Yu washed her face with an expression.

He said to his sister, and then left Ying Yuman with a puzzled look on his face and returned to the inner room.

Feelings are like a cloud floating in the sky.

Floating around, you never know where it will end up.

Li Yuan is no longer the handsome young man in Xingyang City. He is the pillar of the Qin Dynasty and a hero among thousands of men. Ying Yushu has never had extravagant hopes that Li Yuan will belong to her alone. She just wants to be able to stand silently.

After his death, even if he had no status, he still regretted it.
