Chapter 114 Sensational (continued)
In the western suburbs of Luoyang, a new city has begun to take shape. The outer wall is increasing. It has become a huge construction site. Buildings are rising in every area. Next to the capital of the Yuan and Wei dynasties in the past, the future capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to appear.
The new Luoyang City is located west of Luoyang, spanning the north and south of the Luo River. The outer city is more than 60 miles in circumference, and is unprecedentedly large in scale.
The north is next to Mangshan, the south is opposite to Yique, and the Luo River runs through the entire capital. There will be ten streets in the city, with no less than one hundred lifangs and three large markets planned.
In order to create a new capital of Luoyang, the Zhou State mobilized countless young and strong people. Starting from the beginning of this year, the construction will be completed within one year. At that time, the capital will be moved here from Yecheng.
The person responsible for building Xindu is Yuwen Kai, deputy supervisor of Yingxindu. He came from a martial arts family, but he was different from his brothers who liked bow and horses and liked to study.
He is especially good at all kinds of projects, and how to build new things perfectly is the issue he is now concerned about.
The Zhou Kingdom destroyed the Sui Kingdom and recovered the lost territory. In the near future, it will surely lead its troops south to pacify the Southern Dynasty Chen Kingdom. At that time, the world will be unified, and then the Luoyang City, as the capital, will have a magnificent momentum.
By then, all countries will come to the court, and the Great Zhou will need a magnificent capital to highlight the grandeur of the Celestial Kingdom.
Yuwen Kai knew the intention of the court, so he did not dare to slack off after receiving the order. He personally led people to survey the scene. After more than a month of hard work, he decided on the plan. Then he lived in the old city of Luoyang and came to supervise the construction of the new capital as a supervisor.
Today, he returned to Luoyang from the construction site in advance. Although he was at home, he was still thinking about the things on the construction site. Now the progress is over, but there are still many things that he needs to coordinate.
“Aye.”
The tender child voice pulled Yuwen Kai back to the real world. Seeing his son Yuwen Yin's expectant gaze, he smiled slightly: "Erlang, what's wrong."
"Brother originally said he would take me to the street today, but now he doesn't know where to go, and my mother is out too."
"Then let's take Erlang to the streets for a walk for my father."
"good!"
Yuwen I was excited when he heard this. Yuwen Kai explained some matters to his servants, and then took his son out, with several followers following him.
Yuwen Kai is currently living in Luoyang for a while, so the whole family lives in Luoyang together. He rarely has time to spend with his son, so he took his son shopping today as a make up for it.
The second son Yuwen Huan, whose original name was Yuwen Wen, ended up being the same as the current King Yuwen Wen of Xiyang, and they were both "Yuwen Erlang". Last year, Xiao Yuwen Wen met Dayu Wen Wen in Chang'an, and Yuwen Kai had no choice but to change his son's name.
Indo, it means bright and bright. Because the current Qi Wang Yuwen Liang and the prince Yuwenming have already occupied the words "liang" and "ming", Yuwen Kai, who is eager to be "warm and bright", can only ask for the word "interactive".
Walking on the bustling streets, the father and son were walking and talking, "Aye, when will the new city be repaired?"
"It's not until next year."
"What about Luoyang City now? Can people still live?"
"With the new city, of course, the old city needs to be demolished, so where can people live?"
"Then, isn't that a waste?"
Yuwen Kai didn't know how to answer his son's question. Whether to waste or not is not something he needs to care about. Construction will inevitably use a lot of manpower and material resources, but only in this way can he have the opportunity to display his talents.
Only in this way can we keep the door from falling.
Yuwen Kai's father Yuwen Gui was a nobleman of Zhou. He died for many years, and the three Yuwen brothers were left. Because of the surname "Yuwen", people are often mistaken for being a royal family.
Although his ancestors did have surnames Yuwen for generations, and although they also came from Wuchuan, their family really had nothing to do with the Zhou royal family, but others always had misunderstandings.
So in the changes in the second year of Elephant, when Yang Jian cleaned up the Yuwen royal family, he almost killed the three brothers Yuwen Kai.
Thanks to Yuwen Kai's second brother Yuwen Xin was loyal to Yang Jian and died in Yecheng. He exchanged his life for Yang Jian's trust. Therefore, Yuwen Kai and his brother Yuwen Shan and their respective families were able to save their lives and transform from ministers of Zhou to ministers of Sui.
However, the situation was chaotic, and the Sui Kingdom, which had just been established for a few years, was over, and everyone became ministers of the Zhou Kingdom. As a ruthless person, the Buddha's blessing was that the Yuwen Kai brothers could save their lives. But just in case, they had to show their value.
Otherwise, if one day, they are encouraged by enemies who do not know whether they exist or not, and the imperial court may have an imperial edict, they will be exterminated.
Even if you are safe and sound, you have to think about your descendants. The titles of the two brothers Yuwen Shan and Yuwen Kai have disappeared. If you don’t think of a solution, it will be difficult to recover.
Yuwen Shan and other generals are as skilled as archers and horses, but they are very uncomfortable with the trust of the court. Now they are idle at home and do nothing all day long, so the important task of "reflecting value" is on the shoulders of Sanlang Yuwen Kai.
So he worked so hard to travel around the construction site to do a good job in building a new capital, gaining the appreciation of the emperor and the prime minister, and winning the opportunity for his family to recover.
Before they knew it, the father and son had arrived in Dongcheng City. The houses, residences and shops here were filled with a wide range of rare treasures. There were many bookstores among them. It was the place where Yuwen Kai visited the most.
Among these bookstores, the business of bookstores selling books in Huangzhou, Shannan is the most prosperous. Huangzhou books are of rich variety and price are suitable. Yuwen Kai often sends people to buy books with his book list. This time he took his son shopping, and while he was walking around, he couldn't help but lean towards the bookstore.
He thought that taking his son to read books would at least open the little guy's eyes and know the endless truth of learning. As a result, Yuwen Kai saw a large group of people surrounding the bookstore from afar.
My son is young and it is inconvenient to squeeze around among so many people. Yuwen Kai was about to turn around, but he heard the other side shouting:
"Innocent students fainted in the street with exhaustion. Who did the fake books that they did commit such evil deeds!"
"The truth is revealed, let you know the sinful life of the forgery book!"
"A ordinary debate made everyone present cry!"
"The vain regrets, scholars have been deceived by him for hundreds of years!"
Yuwen Kai couldn't help but feel curious when he heard such horrible words. He wanted to see what a crazy person was, which made the scholars "sweep in pain" and "drift in the street."
"Erlang, you go back first."
"Aye, I'm going, too."
"Obe obedient, this matter involves murder, Erlang is too young."
"oh..."
The servant took Yuwen Il back home. Yuwen Kai strode forward to find out. He is now wearing casual clothes, so no one will make way out. After a lot of effort, he finally squeezed into the front, but it is the book shop guy selling newly arrived books.
"What's going on with you? Just sell books, why are you so sensational?"
"Don't be surprised by this guy. This new book in the store is to expose the truth about some people cheating on the world and stealing their reputations!"
"Expose it? If you have any grievances, you can sue the government. You are making noise here, and you will make a fuss about your innocence without any evidence. Do you still have any kingly laws in your eyes!"
Yuwen Kai questioned the other party with a righteous spirit. He was a nobleman and had been an official for many years, so his words and deeds naturally had an official flavor. He was very angry about the sensational publicity of the store.
However, the book shop guys are knowledgeable and naturally have a way of dealing with official accents.
"Oh, brother, don't be surprised. This is all about scholars. Scholars argue about the authenticity. Can this be called slandering people without any evidence? Look, look!"
The guy took out a book and handed it to Yuwen Kai. When he saw the "A Preliminary Exploration of the Authentic Book of Documents and the Book of Documents" written on it, he was stunned and then pushed the book back: "The authenticity of the ancient book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book of Documents and the Book
"Brother, please calm down. This is a book proofread by Er Liu."
"No matter if you are a second-rate, third-rate or...uh, you are saying 'Er Liu'!"
"That's right, the two proofread books that Dr. Liu, can't be said to be falsely accusing people of innocence without any evidence, right?"
Yuwen Kai snatched the book. He was used to reading the thread-bound books, so he soon saw the preface. As he looked at it, his hands tightened: "This...How is this possible!"
"Nothing is impossible, brother, look at it. This is a book produced by the school club. Look at the paper and the thickness. There are two more Dr. Liu who are doing proofreading books, which is the best in the books!"
Yuwen Kai didn't care about that much, he held the book tightly with one hand, for fear that the guy would pull it away from his hand, "How valuable is this book!"
"I knew when I heard this, I knew my brother was studying..."
"How much is this book!"
"This book that has not just arrived...5,300 texts."
“So expensive?”
"Price? If you have time, you can go to Huangzhou to buy it. Of course, it's cheaper, but the expenses on the road add up more than just."
Yuwen Kai looked at the book in his hand and flipped it over again. The more he turned it over, he couldn't put it down, because the second half of his current book actually contained related books. However, he didn't bring so much money when he went out this time, and he didn't have the habit of spending money on weekdays.
He gritted his teeth and returned the price: "Four thousand documents!"
"My brother is joking, the young man is still making money by selling books to support his family."
Chapter completed!
