Chapter 601 Luoyang City
After sending the matchmaker and Wang Zhong out, Lin Shengyuan returned to the yard happily. He saw his daughter sitting under the pomegranate tree, watching the two butterflies flying, motionless for a long time. Her expression was neither sad nor happy,
I don't know what I'm thinking.
Stepping forward, Lin Shengyuan said: "My son, the matchmaker has just arrived, and your marriage to Xuanfu has been decided. We still need to discuss when to hold the wedding. Oh my God, we have worked hard for so many years, and today we finally
This is a good thing!"
Lin Xi turned around, looked at her father, and said with some confusion: "Dad, is this a good thing?"
Lin Shengyuan said: "Xuanfu is only in his early twenties, but he is already in a high position and governs dozens of states! This kind of marriage can't be obtained even by praying to gods and Buddhas! It falls on your head all of a sudden. How can I still get it?"
Isn’t that a good thing?”
Lin Xi said: "But I don't know what kind of person Xuanfu is. Who knows what will happen if we live together?"
Lin Shengyuan smiled and said: "What are you talking about? If you use power to spread your power, no matter how I look at you, your life will not be bad! You are young and don't know the use of power. I tell you, even if you haven't gotten married yet, I will go out now
, Everyone wants to flatter me! What will it be like if we get married?"
As he spoke, Lin Shengyuan's eyes shone with endless longing.
Lin Xi didn't say anything, she just looked at the blooming lotus flowers in the pond with no joy or sadness.
These days, no matter who they meet, they all congratulate Lin Xi. It seems that after marrying Wang Xiaolie, his career has been smooth and he will never be the same as before. Lin Xi doesn't know whether to be sad or happy, but she just feels a little lost.
I always feel that when two people get married, they should love each other and stay in love until they grow old. Will I do it? As Wang Xiaolie, you can understand from reading the history books that it will be very difficult to be his wife. If you want to maintain such an identity,
It’s difficult to live there. Is this how you want to spend your life?
Lin Xi didn't know. The more congratulations others received these days, the more frightened she became.
Now that everything is busy, Wang Xiaolie has no time to think about marriage. Moreover, he is satisfied with this marriage at first sight and has nothing to think about. His sister and Wang Zhong went through the procedures and set a date for the marriage, so they can get married themselves.
Other things can only depend on God's will.
It was a beautiful and sunny day with no clouds in the sky. Wang Xiaolie invited Zhang Shou and Feng Yi to hire a boat for a cruise on the Luo River.
Seeing the sparkling waves on the river and the soaring waterbirds, Zhang Shoudao said: "Luoyang City is an ancient capital for thousands of years, and there are few comparables in the world. This Luoshui River passes through the city, adding countless auras to the city. There is nothing like this in the world.
How many scenic spots are there?”
Wang Xiaoxing said: "Luoyang has been the capital of emperors since ancient times. People call Luoyang the most suitable place in the world and the most prosperous scenery."
Feng Yidao: "When this dynasty was founded, Yi Zu always wanted to move the capital to Luo, but he missed it."
When they arrived at the center of the river, Wang Xiaolie ordered the anchor to be lowered. He said to Zhang Shou: "There is nothing to do today. Let's take a look at the beautiful scenery in the Luo River."
After tea was served, Wang Xiaolie, Zhang Shou, Feng Yi, Chen Qiudao and Chen Yuyi sat by the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside and chatting.
Zhang Shoudao: "After Xuan Xian restored Xijing, some courtiers suggested that the official family should return to Luan and use Henan Prefecture as their base. There were many ministers who proposed this matter, and the Holy One could not refuse them. When I came to Luoyang, the Holy One gave special orders to see
Take a look at how Luoyang City is doing now, and see if it is suitable for you to do something good. In the past few days, you can see that Luoyang City has been badly damaged by the war. If you don’t make great efforts to repair it, you can’t do it well.”
Wang Xiaolie said: "When the Jin Army brought disaster to the Central Plains, the residents who moved south of the Yellow River moved north, and Luoyang suffered the most. Although it has recovered now, the number of households is far less than before. I remember doing statistics when I entered Luoyang at the beginning of the year.
The city of Luoyang has a total of 3,261 households, which is not as good as a large county. Without a population, it will be even more difficult to rebuild the city of Luoyang."
Zhang Shoudao: "Yes, it is difficult for business travelers to get there, the streets are depressed, and Luoyang is too deserted now. The Xuanfu stationed in Luoyang needs to pay more attention."
Wang Xiaolie said: "When I have free time, I plan to completely renovate the streets in Luoyang City. The families and houses that have fled will be taken back to the government, and the plan will be re-planned. The government will provide money to build Luoyang City well.
Only then can we attract people to come.”
Zhang Shoudao: "In Luoyang City, there are many former residences of ministers of the DPRK and Central Government. For example, Counselor Chen is from Luoyang. How is your family doing now that you have gone to Feifei?"
Chen Yuyi said: "After several military disasters, it has long been dilapidated. Now that there are residences arranged by the government, the former residence is too lazy to clean up."
Zhang Shoudao: "It's not just the staff of the Xuanfu Division who is going, let alone others. It's really not easy for Luoyang City to return to its former state."
Chen Yuyi's former residence was built by his great-grandfather Chen Xiliang. It was in Sishunfang. It used to be one of the largest houses in Luoyang City. When the Jin army came, it was attacked several times and was destroyed by fire several times. Now it has long been dilapidated. Moreover, there are no other houses around the house.
Chen Yuyi was too lazy to clean up the large vegetable patch.
Nowadays, in Luoyang City, except around the Henan government office and on both sides of the Luoshui River, there are few people walking in other places. Large areas of land have been reclaimed into fields to grow vegetables and grain. The city has an idyllic scenery. After Wang Xiaolie came, although there were a large number of officials
Living in Luoyang also attracted some businessmen, but it was still far from enough.
Luoyang City was built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was the largest city in the world at that time and was very large. In the past, there were many vegetables in the city, not to mention now. In some places, there are rice and mulberry trees all over the place, and it can no longer be seen as a city.
Zhao Gou traveled to Yangzhou, Jiankang, and Yuezhou, and finally settled in Lin'an. Many courtiers opposed it. Some people suggested setting up the capital in Shu and plotting against Shaanxi. Some suggested setting up the capital in Ezhou or Dengzhou in plotting against the Central Plains. Wang
Xiao Lie restored Xijing, and immediately some people proposed returning to the Central Plains in an attempt to restore the world.
This voice was very loud. Although Zhao Gou disagreed in his heart, he had to make a gesture and let Zhang Shou take a look at the current Luoyang and prepare to rebuild it. However, based on the current financial situation of the imperial court, the money for rebuilding should be spent no matter what.
Can't come out.
Regardless of what Zhao Gou thinks, Wang Xiaolie really wants to focus on building Luoyang City.
Luoyang is an ancient capital for thousands of years and has a very good geographical location. Even if it is not the capital, the terrain here is difficult and easy to defend. Moreover, the surrounding land is fertile, it is close to the granary of the Central Plains, and it controls the main roads of Shaanxi and Hedong. It is also an important city.
Wang Xiaolie was stationed in Luoyang, which was more conducive to running the Central Plains than Xiangyang. It was also very convenient to go west to Shaanxi, north to Hedong, and east to Kaifeng Mansion. When the people recovered and there were more people around, the city would definitely have to be rebuilt.
