Under the scorching summer sun, Xianyang City is much more prosperous than it was ten years ago.¤ Literature Bar: xba.¤
With Xianyang Palace as the center, nine main roads, five vertical and four horizontal, are like nine huge arteries, running through Xianyang City, the imperial capital of the Qin Dynasty, which was at least twice as big as ten years ago.
Surrounding the nine main roads that run through the entire Xianyang City, there are countless orderly little veins that connect these arteries and blood vessels. Circles and alleys, the streets neatly divide the huge Xianyang City into neat and orderly areas.
sequence area.
Today's Xianyang City is bigger, neater, and more prosperous than ten years ago, and of course, there are more people.
The main roads in Xianyang City have also gradually undergone some changes in the past two years that most Xianyang people could not understand at first, but now they all accept them. That is, on each main road, there are some carvings.
Rows of beautifully patterned stone piers.
There are two rows of these stone piers on each main road. The two rows of stone piers divide each main road into three roads. In the middle of the stone pier is an avenue large enough to accommodate three carriages traveling in parallel. On both sides of the two rows of stone piers are shops and two wide roads.
There is plenty of sidewalk.
This arrangement of the main roads in Xianyang City was naturally the work of Hu Hai.
In five years, the population of Xianyang City has already exceeded two million from the original one million. The rapid increase in population has put huge pressure on Xianyang City's security and various environmental conditions. After all, in any era,
Murder and arson may not be very common, but gangsters are never in short supply.
The most troublesome thing for Xiao He, who has been promoted to the Order of Xianyang, is the main roads in Xianyang City, where carriages from various noble families often compete with the people for access.
However, with the events of Fan Jian's nephew and Linghu Chong cheating and killing the Five Mahous, and the fact that the Great Qin Laws have all been promulgated and implemented throughout the Great Qin Dynasty, the new Great Qin Laws have clear sentencing standards for the words and deeds of various noble families.
The nobles of Xianyang and even Guanzhong no longer dared to gallop their horses on the streets at will. As a result, people and carriages and horses were often crowded together, and the blockage lasted for half a day.
Xianyang ordered Xiao He to be exhausted basically every day.
The news reached Hu Hai. Hu Hai had an idea and thought of the practice of distinguishing motor vehicle lanes and sidewalks in later generations. Although there are no motor vehicles in Daqin today, carriages and horseback riding can also be regarded as the Mercedes-Benz and BMW of this era.
It's a motor vehicle.
After Xianyang City has been transformed in the past few years, the various regions have been divided into more reasonable areas. Several main roads are also spacious enough, and there are sufficient conditions for doing so. Moreover, keeping to the right seems to have been promoted
conditions.
An imperial capital must have the style of an imperial capital, right?
Soon, stone piers dividing motor vehicles and sidewalks appeared on the main roads in Xianyang City. In the first few months, Xiao He still had to send people to guide them. As time went by, Xianyang City’s
However, the people have gradually become accustomed to this arrangement. The original congestion phenomena have no longer appeared, and the carriages and horses go their own way in an orderly manner.
I don’t know who revealed the originator of this proposal, His Majesty the Second Emperor of Qin Dynasty. This naturally added to the icing on the cake for His Majesty the Holy Emperor, who is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The carriage rolled by. Hu Hai looked through the gauze curtains at the steady stream of people and carriages moving in an orderly and leisurely manner on the street outside the carriage, with distant eyes.
At this moment, the four armies of Tengshe Army, Guilin Army, Jiuyuan Army, and Pingyi Army, with an army of 300,000, have already embarked on the journey, right? The border counties have all entered a tense state of wartime.
At this moment, the city of Xianyang did not feel any tension about the impending war. However, I guess it was not just Xianyang, but the people in all the counties in Da Qin did not feel the slightest feeling either.
War is indeed still far away from ordinary people.
"I heard that this clever idea of setting up stone piers on each main road to separate carriages, horses and pedestrians was given by the emperor's brother to Xiao He, the commander of Xianyang?"
Ying Zhen stared unblinkingly at Hu Hai, who was a little confused, with beautiful eyes. He said softly.
Today, Hu Hai has free time, and several children have gone out to go to school. Li Ji, Li Fei and other girls now have free time to work on the Great Wall. Speaking of mahjong, I have to say that the national quintessence that has been passed down for thousands of years is
Has its own unique charm.
In the harem, Hu Hai's rules have always been relatively loose. In addition, the women knew more or less that the young emperor did not like the intrigues among the concubines in the harem for favors, so on weekdays, whether it was Queen Li Yan or the two of them,
Concubine Li and Yu Ji in the palace both consciously paid attention to improving their relationship with each other.
The mahjong that Hu Hai made on a whim gave the girls a channel for communication.
As the Queens of the Six Kings all entered the Imperial Academy of Qin to serve as professors at the Academy of Art, Concubine Li and Yu Ji, who usually loved vocal music, had more interactions with the Queens of the Six Kings.
As the master of the harem, Li Ji naturally knew how to win over people's hearts. He often used Concubine Li and Yu Ji to invite the queens of the six kings to the Xianyang Palace for a get-together. After all, the women knew that the queens of the six kings and the current saint were
Among emperors, if you really say that you are as innocent as tofu, no one will believe it.
Over time, the queens of the six kings became mahjong friends. In addition, the wives of important ministers in various dynasties often came to the harem for various reasons to meet the empress and several noble concubines. Mahjong was the first thing to spread among the noble houses.
.
The next thing is simple. In Daqin, where the entertainment life is extremely monotonous, the emergence of Mahjong soon became a popular entertainment exclusive in Xianyang and even Guanzhong.
The noble wives and concubines who were so idle on weekdays finally got rid of the monotonous life of noble ladies and had new things to kill their time.
Whether mahjong has any positive effects on Da Qin is not discussed for the moment. However, one thing is extremely useful, that is, with something to pass the time, the habit of noble ladies raising pretty boys has been eliminated a lot.
Nowadays, mahjong has gradually entered the homes of ordinary people whose lives are getting better and better. In their spare time, neighbors can play a few games.
However, another change brought about by mahjong made Hu Hai alert in advance. That was the rise of gambling. So when the news of mahjong first came out of the palace, Hu Hai had already issued an edict to all noble families that small gambling was allowed.
But once it exceeds a certain number, you will be punished.
The word gambling has harmed many people from its emergence to later generations.
Hu Hai naturally knew that it would be impossible to stop this trend once it arose, but it could be controlled and guided.
When all the concubines in the harem became Mayu, Hu Hai thought of Ying Zhen who secretly controlled the Black Ice Platform in the east hall of the Xianyang Palace Yizheng Hall every day.
After taking over Heibingtai, the place where Ying Zhen spent the most time was the Heibingtai office in the east hall of the Yizheng Hall. Every day, he dealt with all kinds of news and reports from all over the Qin Dynasty, filtering out useful and important ones.
The information was sent to Hu Hai's bronze case, allowing Hu Hai to gain insight into the affairs of various places in Xianyang Palace.
When he first settled the bill at Heibingtai, Ying Zhen was only sixteen years old. Now, seven full years have passed.
How many seven years can a person have in a lifetime? It can be said that Ying Zhen's most beautiful girlhood has been spent in the East Palace.
"I just mentioned Xiao He a little bit, but he did better than I thought."
Hu Hai looked at Ying Zhen, who had become a beautiful woman but still had haircuts, with a little guilt in his eyes.
Ying Zhen is still unmarried.
"Zhen'er, it's time for you to get married." Hu Hai touched Ying Zhen's head and said softly.
"Father must have said bad things about Zhen'er in front of brother Huang again. Brother Huang, Zhen'er has grown up." Ying Zhen pouted his red lips and protested while avoiding Hu Hai's hand that was rubbing his head in dissatisfaction.
I always treat myself like a child.
"Haha, okay, okay. You've really grown up." Hu Hai retracted his palm and said with a smile.
At this moment, Ying Zhen's face was filled with only the most innocent smile. If the commander of the fifteenth lieutenant of Heibingtai saw Ying Zhen like this, his eyes would probably fall to the ground.
The mysterious leader of Heibingtai is an existence that makes all the civil and military officials and noble families of the Qin Dynasty extremely afraid.
Ying Teng had no choice but to come to Hu Hai to ask for Ying Zhen's marriage. This is also the main reason why Hu Hai brought Ying Zhen out today.
But precisely because of this, Hu Hai felt even more guilty.
Time flies by like a white horse.
In the blink of an eye, he has been in the Qin Dynasty for almost ten years. He is about to enter his thirties. Although there are not many concubines in the harem, there are also many. There are also several lovely children.
But because of a spur-of-the-moment idea of mine and the fact that she entered the Black Ice Terrace in the 1990s, her imperial sister silently stood behind her and spent the most precious seven years for herself and Da Qin.
It has become a habit of Hu Hai to read the letters and newspapers compiled by Heibingtai on the copper table every day. But Hu Hai suddenly discovered that he had been ignoring this little girl until today, and took everything for granted.
.
"Zhen'er, thank you for these years." Hu Hai took Ying Zhen's hand and said solemnly.
I don't know whether it's because I've never been so close to a man or because I've never seen my royal brother speak to me so solemnly. The moment Hu Hai held his hand, Ying Zhen's delicate body suddenly stiffened, and then he was blushing.
Red flew onto my cheeks.
This feeling is really good.
Looking at the handsome face so close in front of him, Ying Zhen's heart began to beat uncontrollably like a little rabbit.
Countless lonely days and nights, countless thoughts of grievance. In front of such a sentence, Ying Zhen suddenly felt that everything he had done was worth it.
However, it would be great if you were not my royal brother.
