It was autumn, and the scorching sun was like fire, but there was no sign of cold winter.

The local area is now in the busy farming season, and the people are ushering in the harvest day. Looking around, the whole farmland is golden, the wheat is yellow, and the millet is also yellow, but the wheat is yellow, and the millet is yellow.

It is decorated with green. The people are harvesting crops diligently, and their achievements this year are piled up by the arable land. Occasionally, officials riding tall horses pass by. Looking at the mountains of food on the road, they are all stroking their beards.

He laughed out loud.

After the millet and wheat were beaten out and counted, the roads in various places became lively.

Officials were spread all over the place, counting the local food situation and collecting taxes. The carriage transported the food, gathered from all directions to the county town, and then escorted by local soldiers to the wharf. Many canals were officially put into transportation.

Almost all the rivers were covered by ships, and dense ships set out towards Chang'an in an orderly manner.

There were also many cars and boats among them. The river became particularly lively, and the pier along the road was even more crowded. The canal soldiers were eating food and making loud noises.

Zhang Cang almost lived in the Weishui Wharf, calculating the amount of grain that had been transported by the passing ships every day, and then arranged the grain to enter Taicang, the Han Dynasty. Zhang Cang set up Changping Warehouses in various places, mainly

In addition to the regular closing of the warehouse, it also has a reserve warehouse, which is used to resist some disasters.

The entire Han Dynasty is busy with farming and sericulture at this moment, from the black soil of Yan State, to the mountains and forests of Nanyue, to the oasis of the Western Regions, the fields of the northern region, and within the territory of the Han Dynasty, they are busy working.

Figure.

Apart from the river water, the Han Dynasty was still a good harvest year this year, and no disasters occurred again.

At this moment, Longxi County welcomed a distinguished guest.

The distinguished guest was sitting in a very luxurious carriage, with armored soldiers following him, and at first glance, he was a big shot that ordinary officials could not afford to offend.

When the distinguished guest passed by the roadside, people always looked at the figure and exclaimed. This noble man is too tall and really a hero!

This hero is naturally Liu Chang, but Longxi is not his destination, his destination is Hexi.

Lu Lu drove the car bitterly, carrying the emperor behind him, and was very puzzled.

"Your Majesty, this is the time for autumn harvest. It is really inappropriate for you to go to Hexi to see Anling at this time. Why not wait for the autumn harvest to end?"

"What does autumn harvest have to do with me?"

"I kindly want to help harvest wheat. I don't see how ugly the face of Mr. Pingyang looks!"

"You are cutting wheat from the Hou family in Pingyang, of course he will do that..."

"I am not asking you to harvest wheat, but autumn harvest is a major event. You have always valued agriculture. At this time, you should let the ministers see your attitude towards valuing agriculture and should not leave easily..."

Liu Chang was very disdainful. He waved his hand, "What I did over the years still shows my determination to value agriculture? Why do you pretend to be hypocritical? It's the autumn harvest now, and the whole country is busy, and there is no government affairs in China to come.

As for me, I can’t help with the autumn harvest, so it’s up to Zhang Xiangzai to take charge. What’s the use of staying in Chang’an? It’s better to come out and do the serious business!"

Chang Liu doesn’t like these stupid things. Since he can’t help, what is he still looking for?

Lu Lu was speechless. Although it was indeed a serious matter to inspect Anling, Lu Lu always felt that His Majesty's idea should not be that simple.

Just as the autumn harvest was about to begin, the emperor took advantage of the chaos of the ministers and asked Zhang Xiang to take charge of all matters, so he led dozens of people to leave Chang'an.

Of course, in addition to the dozens of people on the surface, Liu Zhang also sent a large number of people to follow and protect.

After leaving Chang'an, Liu Changfang told Lu Lu that they were going to Anling in Hexi.

Liu Bang's Changling Mausoleum was built on the edge of Chang'an, but Liu Chang's Anling was built directly in Hexi. In recent years, in order to build Anling Mausoleum for Liu Chang, more than 300,000 wealthy families were forced to voluntarily go to Hexi.

After going there, they all wanted to build Anling for Liu Chang. Now Anling is simply the largest city in Hexi. Even Guzang, the capital of Hexi, is not as large as Anling. If it weren't for fear of being overthrown, the capital of Hexi, the capital of the King of Hexi was not as big as that of Anling.

I want to move the capital to Anling.

Hexi's rapid development in recent years is inseparable from Anling. Anling has also become the largest city in the northwest region, far exceeding other county towns. It is so large and has a large population, and it is the most powerful in the northwest region.

It is a treasure land in the hands of the King of Hexi. Of course, it is also the most important transportation hub, connecting the entire northwestern region of the Han Dynasty.

Never heard of using his tomb to stabilize the frontier, Liu Chang was amazed by his ministers.

Anyway, in the Han Dynasty, in the next few hundred years, no one dares to submit a memorial to give up the Northwest and other words... The tomb of the Emperor of Han is here, and the importance of this is self-evident. Whoever loses it here will be

There is no way to face the people of the world. Even the ancestors’ tombs cannot be kept, so it is more reliable to go to Coal Mountain to find a crooked tree.

However, the risk of doing this is also very high. After all, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. Staying away from the Central Plains, there is still a risk of being dug up to the grave.

But Liu Chang didn't care about this. He was similar to Liu Bang. He was disdainful of death and was even more indifferent to what happened after death. I was dead, what did it have to do with me?

When Liu Chang initially ordered the construction of Anling in Hexi, he chose the main transportation route and wanted to build a large city that could stabilize the overall situation. The construction of the Han Dynasty not only required the emperor to build a tomb, but also around.

When building a city, the name of the city is usually replaced by the name of a tomb. For example, Changling County near Chang'an is where Liu Bang's tomb is.

Now it seems that his strategic composition is very successful.

Sitting in the carriage, Liu Chang still used the name of Xiahou Zhao.

There is no way, the officials along the way are sharp-eyed, and it is too difficult to find a strong man like him. After searching, Xiahou Zao's physique is a little close to Liu Chang. Although he is half a piece of short, he can only

He continued to harm Xiahou Zao, and Xiahou Zao was originally in the Western Regions. No one found it strange to him to walk west under the name of Xiahou Zao.

If you meet someone who knows Xiahou Zao, then you don’t have to worry. If you know Xiahou Zao, you must know who the person in front of you is. If someone asks you, you will insist that the person in front of you is Xiahou Zao!

It’s Xiahou Ying who is here, and this is also Xiahou Zao!

Liu Chang sat leisurely in the carriage, drinking a few sips from time to time, his eyes always looking around. Liu Chang had not walked towards the northwest for many years, and had been walking towards the Central Plains or the south before.

As we walked along the way, there were people working hard, and Chang Liu did not disturb them.

The carriage was driving, and Chang Liu suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

Lu Lu quickly stopped the car, and the soldiers quickly lined up. Liu Chang jumped out of the carriage, but stared at the road. He stepped on it with his feet, and then asked someone to take a ruler and start measuring.

Lu Lu stood aside curiously, not knowing what the emperor was measuring. Liu Chang started to measure and quickly ran up a hillside, squinted his eyes and pondered. Lu Lu secretly looked around, but what

I didn't find it. This is a relatively remote place with trees and streams in the distance, but I didn't see any houses.

"Get maps and ink..."

Liu Chang sat on the ground and started writing seriously. In Lu Lu's opinion, His Majesty just drew a few strokes on the map and marked something. Lu Lu didn't know the soldiers and couldn't understand what Liu Chang marked it.

After putting away his things, Liu Changcai got on the car and ordered to continue rushing the car.

Lu Lu's uneasiness in his heart increased even more. He asked nervously: "Your Majesty, are you really here to come to Anling?"

"That's of course...that's my house in the future. Of course, I have to go over and take a look. Just lie down and see if I feel comfortable..."

"Um???"

"Your Majesty, no!

”

When the car left Longxi, the scenery was naturally different.

Hexi used to be endless grasslands, but now, it still looks like a county in the Central Plains. You can see the tall city from afar. The roads are clearly visible. The grassland has become arable land. Of course, there are also herders in the distance.

There was sheep, only the yellow and red soil still retained its original appearance. Liu Chang pointed to those places excitedly and said, "I had captured these areas at the beginning. At that time, there were no county towns here!"

Lu Lu also looked here curiously. He was very curious about this strange land.

What is the most common in Hexi? There are the most officials and criminals. Hexi has replaced the Tang Kingdom and has become a new place for criminals to concentrate. Every year, a large number of criminals are exiled here. At the same time, there are many prisoners of war here, and these people are

It is necessary to build Anling and build infrastructure for Hexi.

Hexi's territory is very large, compared with that of Yan State, but many areas are even more desolate than Yan State, and the officials are also different from those of the Central Plains. The officials here are all riding horses and running around, and the jurisdiction of the pavilion chief seems to be a bit large.

When the pavilion chief came to interrogate them, Lu Lu almost thought he had encountered a bandit.

When they arrived in Guzang County, Lu Lu suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Because this capital looks very bleak, how can I say it? It doesn’t have the majesty and courage that the capital should have. It looks like a gray small city, and there are not too many people coming and going. Occasionally, wind and sand blowing by.

It shows even more bleakness.

Liu Chang disagreed. When they first came to Hexi, there was not even a county town of this size here.

After entering the county town, the roads in the city were very spacious, and there were a few people, and there were no restaurants or anything like that. Liu Chang searched for a long time and found a restaurant in the south of the city. A few people walked in, and Lu Lu had some

I can't understand that I have come to the capital, why don't I tell the King of Hexi directly and eat there?

"You don't understand, this is really delicious, it's all in the local restaurants, but you can't find it in the palace!"

The soldiers originally wanted to stay outside, but they were called in by Liu Chang to have dinner together. Suddenly everyone occupied the entire restaurant. The boss was so happy that all industries in this place were not very prosperous, and his daily income was not very high.

He was very attentive to introduce local delicacies to everyone. Soon, Liu Chang was filled with various kinds of meat, and the recipes were mixed with the customs of the Hu people. Liu Chang grabbed it and ate it, which was better than Hu.

People still need bad people.

Just as everyone was having a meal, a sound suddenly came in.

"Old man! Old man! I'm here! Get ready for the meat quickly!

”

The boss was shocked and hurriedly said to Liu Chang: "Negotiable, this is Zhou Jian, the youngest son of Zhou Taiwei's family. He is a naughty person. Don't just have to know him!

”

After saying that, the boss ran towards the door.

Liu Chang held the sheep's hooves in his hand, his eyes full of confusion.

Zhou Jian??Isn’t he in Chang’an Imperial Academy?? Why is this voice so familiar?
