"Please get up, please get up, you don't have to do this."

Liu Yizhen didn't believe a word of Wang Maide's oath...

Oaths are the most unreliable things in the world, bar none.

Loyalty is always maintained by interests.

Recently, Liu Yizhen hopes to use Wang Maide's identity and experience to cover up the origin of "Chang'an Map", and Wang Maide also needs the opportunity given by Liu Yizhen.

From a long-term perspective, Liu Yizhen needed Wang Maide's talent and wisdom to help him fight for the throne and even govern the country, and Wang Maide also needed Liu Yizhen to provide him with a stage to perform.

It's just mutual use. If Liu Yizhen really treats Wang Maide as his son in the future, Wang Maide will probably imitate Lu Bu and let Liu Yizhen know that "dad" is not an easy title to bear.

"Right now, I will make you the Hucao of Yongzhou and be responsible for the construction of New Chang'an."

After Liu Yizhen and Wang Maide completed a political exchange secretly, they summoned Wang Xiu, Du Ji and other key officials in Guanzhong to show them the "Chang'an Map".

Not surprisingly.

Everyone was stunned by the design of "Chang'an Map".

When I learned that "Chang'an Map" was painted by Wang Maide, I was even more impressed by him.

But Wang Maide just responded with a shy smile amidst the praises from everyone.

"Wang Hu Cao Zhen is a great talent."

At this time, Wang Maide seemed to have returned to the state of being admired by everyone in Hu Xia, and he was increasingly overjoyed.

But when the trend of adulation passed, Wang Maide began to be dumbfounded.

Building a city was much more difficult than he and Liu Yizhen imagined.

Let’s talk about the labor force for building the city first.

Chang'an has a population of more than 600,000, of which, excluding women, aristocratic families, the elderly, and children, there are 100,000 people who need to work to build the city.

One hundred thousand people are not just a dry number, but living people.

Organizing the labor of 100,000 people is actually about the same difficulty as leading an army of 100,000 to fight. Otherwise, Qin Shihuang would not have sent General Meng Tian and his eldest son Fusu to supervise the construction of the Great Wall.

Therefore, in ancient times, those who had the ability to build large buildings would definitely have good commanding abilities.

Although Wang Maide was considered to be both civil and military, it would still be difficult for him to command a hundred thousand people.

Liu Yizhen had no choice but to go and ask Zhu Lingshi to come out.

Zhu Lingshi was actually reluctant to get involved with Liu Yizhen at first, but building New Chang'an was an achievement that would go down in history, so Zhu Lingshi finally agreed.

With Zhu Lingshi's help, we can direct these 100,000 people and let them perform their respective duties.

But once the human problem is solved, there is another problem involved - money.

Liu Yizhen can keep labor costs to a minimum, but building materials always cost money.

Even though Liu Yu also gave a lot of money, after all, it was for the previous plan to repair Weiyang Palace, but now what Liu Yizhen really wanted to build was a city.

"Let's not build the palace now!"

Anyway, there is no emperor in Guanzhong now, so we can probably put up an airs.

"The outer country will not be built for the time being!"

Building a city wall is the most time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive. If you don’t build a city wall, the workload will be reduced by half.

What's more, now that Xiaoguan has returned to the hands of the Jin army, Chang'an will not face a direct military threat, and there is no need to build a city wall in the short term.

“Some cities and towns may not be built temporarily.”

The "Chang'an Map" given by Liu Yizhen is the capital of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in later generations.

Even if the new Chang'an is built today, it will not have to assume the responsibility of the capital. Its market size will be very small and it will not use as much land as planned.

Liu Yizhen also cut down all the gardens and so on with a stroke of his pen.

In the end, only roads, drainage facilities, canals, residential buildings and other buildings were preserved.

Those who knew it was building a city, but those who didn't know thought Liu Yizhen was building a village.

"It doesn't matter! New Chang'an can be built in phases!"

"This is called the first phase of the project now, and there will be phases two and three later. Take your time!"

Liu Yizhen was not in a hurry to move into New Chang'an. He was just using the guise of "building a new Chang'an" to improve the mobilization capabilities of the people in Guanzhong and piloting the rent-to-yong modulation system policy. New Chang'an would be built slowly.

But problems soon followed one after another.

The first is the issue of people management.

The folk customs in Guanzhong are fierce, and a hundred thousand strong men gather together. How can something not happen?

Within three days, there was a fight and a murder.

The cause of the matter was just a verbal dispute between two people.

This incident aroused Liu Yizhen's alarm.

In the end, he admitted that there was something wrong with the decision-making and that 100,000 people should not be allowed to serve at the same time. This would hide small conflicts and accumulate quickly, eventually turning into a big problem.

Liu Yizhen is not a person who does not correct his mistakes, not to mention that he is currently in the trial and error stage, and there is nothing to admit.

Now it's just a matter of crossing the river by feeling the stones, as long as we detect it early and deal with it early.

After realizing the mistake, he decisively summoned Wang Xiu and others to revise the plan.

After several discussions, it was finally decided to temporarily let some people stop working.

In this way, 100,000 people quickly became 50,000, and later became 30,000, which greatly reduced Zhu Lingshi's command pressure and also allowed some problems to be solved easily.

Secondly, there is the issue of hygiene.

With tens of thousands of big men living together, one can imagine the sanitary conditions. It is unknown how many bacteria will breed among them. Liu Yizhen emphasizes the importance of drinking boiled water and disinfection almost every day.

Once any infectious disease occurs, Liu Yizhen can say goodbye to his Guanzhong.

The third is that people’s enthusiasm is generally low.

This is also Liu Yizhen’s biggest headache.

It stands to reason that the "Zuyong Modulation" stipulates that as long as you perform more labor service, you can reduce the corresponding tax, but the people are not interested in this.

After several personal investigations and visits by Liu Yizhen, Liu Yizhen finally understood one thing.

It's not that everyone is not active in the reform of renting and renting, but that everyone is not active in building a new Chang'an.

Those people who are repairing water conservancy projects in other places at least know that the meaning of their labor is to make their own homes or the fields in the same village better maintained.

But building a cold city puzzled these people.

This is the limitation of ordinary people's vision, and it will not make sense to talk to them about the truth.

Helpless, Liu Yizhen had no choice but to come forward in person to issue the notice:

Anyone who works to build New Chang'an will be given a private house.

As soon as this notice came out, the enthusiasm of the people really rose again.

The living conditions in Han Chang'an are indeed not good, but everyone would be very happy if they could move to a new place for free.

Finally, under such stumbling circumstances, the project to build New Chang'an began to get on the right track, which also meant that rent-to-yong modulation was indeed an implementable policy, and this era has the soil for its growth.

And Liu Yizhen, who has been "going to the grassroots" continuously, has also suffered a lot in the past few days. Not only has his skin been tanned eight degrees, but he also looks lackluster.

Fortunately, his nutrition kept up, so Liu Yizhen began to gain strong muscles.

That day, Liu Yizhen was having a meal in a depressed state, when she saw Wang Maide, who was also in a dark state, approaching her with a brick.

Wang Maide turned it in front of Liu Yizhen without saying much. He just broke it with force and broke it into two pieces.

This made Liu Yizhen furious.

Did the unscrupulous builder bully me?
