Chapter 176 The Ancient City of Liaoyang

Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province, has been built for thousands of years. It is the first place where the Han people built cities. Now, after more than a thousand years of ups and downs, the local people have changed one after another. Even the masters have changed from the barbarians of the East Hu, Han people, Goguryeo, Khitans, Jurchens and other ethnic groups.

However, the history of Liaoyang as a city has never been cut off!

Most of the time, the local people are mainly Han people. Even after a long period of Huhua, it is obviously different from the Han people in the Central Plains. However, Chinese characters and Chinese dialect still dominate culturally.

There are two cities in Liaoyang, north and south, which are located from the sky and are distributed in a sun-shaped shape. Among them, the circumference of the southern city is 16 miles (1 mile is equal to 500 meters), 3.6 miles from north to south, and 4.5 miles from east to west.

The city wall is made of bricks and stones, with stones inside and bricks outside. The center of the wall is made of rammed earth, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, in the shape of a ladder. The bottom of the wall is two zhang wide and three zhang high. There are nine gates, which is the main city of Liaoyang.

The northern city is 2 miles wide from north to south and 4 miles long from east to west. The city walls are first built with earth and then bricks. There are three city gates, mostly inhabited by Han people.

After the Eastern Mongolia established its rule over Liaodong, Liaoyang was demoted from a country's capital to a province's capital. It also used the method of labor-for-relief to transform the city. For example, the separation of two cities in the north and south from the past was combined into one and completely integrated into one city.

At the same time, the people in the city also moved to a certain extent. For example, some of the Khitan people who originally lived in the south city moved to Jilin Province, Shangjing Prefecture and Hailar Province. Some Han people and a small number of Korean people moved to the city from other places.

This fundamentally diluted the number of local Khitan people and greatly alleviated the conflicts that may be caused by ethnic confrontation.

In order to quickly erase the Khitans and Jurchens' text marks left by the Jurchens in Liaoyang City, the Khitan and Jurchen characters were also targeted. Now the entire city is full of simplified Chinese characters from Eastern Mongolia. Although Mongolian is also a legal official language, it does not use them much by the lower class, so Chinese characters are still popular.

Therefore, when Ulutus came to Liaoyang City, everything he saw was full of Han style. Whether it was the dressing of the people in the city or the architectural style on the streets, it was a Han style.

Compared with Shangjing Mansion with Hu Feng, it is even better.

In addition, bookstores on street markets are also very common. Liaoyang has a history of more than a thousand years of city construction, which has also caused a profound cultural heritage in the city. After the news of the opening of a college in the East Mongolian region, the literary style was even more prosperous.

Looking at the prosperous scene, no one could imagine that it was still tense of wars a few months ago. If Yila Bua had not surrendered quickly, Liaoyang City would have to be in danger of war.

Now, thanks to the rapid reconstruction of social order in the local area by Eastern Mongolia, Liaoyang City has also had the foundation to become prosperous again.

Ulutus didn't like to be too extravagant, so when he entered Liaoyang City, he ordered local officials not to be welcomed. But when he arrived at the palace, the governor of Liaoning Province, Yilabua, still brought his people.

Because of his voluntary surrender, the people in the city not only avoided the war, but also contributed a large amount of military supplies to Eastern Mongolia. Originally, the Dazhen Kingdom was the one who had been plundering the Khitan nobles and royal families, but before they could transport them back to the Dazhen country, they were attacked by Eastern Mongolia.

All this money is cheaper than Eastern Mongolia.

Wulutus did not realize that he would not be able to push money out of the door and refused to give it to him! Wars are costly, and most of the Khitans' money was plundered from the Han people, not their own.

Taking it directly as oneself, Ulutus had no psychological pressure at all.

What's more, the Khitan nobles and royal families who were looted were already dead, and the missing ones were missing. Those who were still alive were just two or three big cats, kittens, etc. Khitan royal families such as Yaoli. Even if Ulutus took the initiative to return the property, they would not dare to accept it.

After all, what does a royal family that destroyed the country need so much money to do? Is it because they want to make a mistake?

When he saw Ulutus's carriage coming, Yilabua immediately kowtowed to Ulutus.

"Who asked you to come?" Ulutus lifted the curtain and said in a bad tone: "Didn't this king say that if I had not summoned me, wouldn't we be welcomed?"

Ulutus hated the bad habits of the officials who were later in life, and everyone under him came forward to meet the prestigious officialdom.

Because this did not only reflect the vanity of the leaders and delayed the efficiency of the lower-level administrative levels. When I went to the capital, Ulutus rarely asked officials who were handling official duties to pay great gifts to him.

In order to minimize interference to the administrative efficiency of lower-level officials as much as possible.

Now that Yila Bu'a commits crime against the wind, he hits the gun.

Faced with the questioning of Ulutus with a bad tone, Yilabua turned pale with fear. This was his first time meeting Ulutus. He originally wanted to lead everyone to greet him and leave a good impression on him. Unexpectedly, the flattery was slapped on the horse's legs, and the effect was counterproductive.

"I am a Jurchen criminal. Fortunately, the king was generous. Not only did he leave his name as a humble official, he also agreed to be the parents of the Liaoning Province. I had no choice but to handle government affairs diligently day and night. Recently, I heard that the king was visiting, so I rushed to handle official affairs and personally thanked the king!" This was honest. As an old minister of the previous dynasty, as a Khitan, he worked hard for the Jurchens, and his identity was really complicated.

Ulutus could understand his caution in the officialdom, because many eyes were staring at him and making mistakes, so that he could pull him off from the position of governor.

As the first large-capital province in Eastern Mongolia, Liaoning Province is close to the Central Plains, and its prosperity is also obvious. Being an official in Liaoning Province is also the most likely place to achieve political achievements.

After hearing his explanation, Ulutus's expression was slightly slower. He asked him to get up and reply, but he was also strict. If he found that he had delayed his official duties due to meeting him, he would still be held accountable for his dereliction of duty.

After entering the palace like this, the carved railings and painted pillars inside were palaces from the Liao Dynasty in the past. Later, it was stolen by the Jin Dynasty and expanded. However, after the war, it was burned by fire. The current palace was rebuilt from the Eastern Liao Dynasty and was originally a place where the royal family lived.

The palace is not as large as that of the Great True Kingdom, after all, the national strength is limited. However, there are many treasures inside, and famous antiques can be seen everywhere. Small but exquisite is the first impression of Ulutus.

But Ulutus doesn't like luxury!

In Eastern Mongolia, he also set an example and cracked down on extravagance! The so-called upward action and downward effect, he did not like the officials below to become a group of unscrupulous wine bags.
