It is a dry city.

The snow has cleared the first day. Craftsmen wearing hard hats and overalls are stepping up to sweep away the snow from the tower crane and continue to supervise the construction of heavy buildings.

Originally, it had enough houses for 3,000 households in Xianbei. Rebuilding on the original basis will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. The progress is fast. Besides, most of the other departments that settled in it were alone. is to redeem and marry a foreign slave girl, but it is only a husband and wife. If you want to spread the leaves, it will be next year at the earliest.

There are only two husband and wife in a huge mansion. It's empty enough. It is enough to have a heavy building to live in. It is not too late to rebuild the remaining buildings.

What Liu Bei is now focusing on renovating are the granaries, stables, forage fields, prison camps, barracks, arsenals, and so on that Ban Dingyuan built in various parts of the city.

First enough for the 100,000 slaves who were already on the way to settle down, and then enough for the 10,000 houses to be built in batches.

It is three and a half miles long from east to west and two miles wide from north to south. In addition to the thick city walls and military facilities, there are also various ancillary buildings of the Changshi Mansion. It is only enough to accommodate about 4,000 households.

I want to be big enough for 10,000 households. It must be expanded.

Liu Bei has ordered people to see that both the north and the south will be expanded. According to the imagination of the craftsmen, the expanded Qiancheng is five miles long from east to west and five miles wide from north to south, and can accommodate 16,000 households. More than 200,000 mouths.

The question is whether to store more than 100,000 mouthfuls in it.

According to the classical theory that eggs cannot be put in one basket. It is best to camp in Yiwu, Gaochang, Liuzhong, Wulei, Quli, Zhenzhong, Taqian, and the Seven Cities.

The continuous expansion of Gaochang Wall benefited from the garrison of the successive generations of Wuji captains. From a military barrier garrisoned by three to five hundred people, it has become increasingly prosperous. After more than 300 years of development, it has been changed to a county administration during the Xianhe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This is evident.

Even nowadays, the scale is considerable. With a little care, you can get a fortified city that stretches three miles horizontally and vertically.

After the gold pass, it is the Yiwu "Kunlun barrier" guarded by Yihe Duwei. Nowadays, the area of the city is also considerable. Such as Wulei, ditch plough, Zhenzhong, the scale is larger.

Wulei City, originally belonging to the Luntai Kingdom, is the second largest city in the country. In the third year of Taichu (102 years ago), Li Guangli made two expeditions to Dawan and passed through here. Because Luntai closed the city and locked the country, he refused to accept the Han army, so he destroyed the country and burned the city in a fit of anger. Since then, the state of Luntai has ceased to exist. Until the second year of Emperor Xuan (72 BC), thirty years after the destruction of Luntai. The Han court allowed the remnants of Luntai who remained after the slaughter of the city that day to re-establish the "Wulei State" around the capital protection mansion. It's just that at this time, the population of Wulei has shrunk to more than 1,000 people. There is no threat at all.

In the fourth year of Taichu, in order to strengthen the rule of the Western Regions, the Han court set up envoys and captains in Luntai and canals, and led troops to Tuntian.

In the third year of Shenjue (59 BC), the Han Dynasty set up the Western Regions Guard Mansion in Wulei City, and Zheng Ji was the first protector.

The "Messenger Captain" was directly subordinate to the imperial court, representing the Han court to deal with the affairs of the Western Regions, and concurrently serving as Si Tuntian. The captain of Tuntian was subordinate to Dunhuang County and was also in charge of Tuntian. Later, it was the full name of the Western Regions Protector, the highest military and political chief of the Western Regions. That is: the captain of the envoy of the Western Regions.

"Hanshu Western Regions Biography": "The capital protects Wulei City, goes to Yangguan for 2,738 miles, is close to the Quli Tianguan, the land is fertile, and it is in the middle of the Western Regions, so the capital protects and governs Yan." ”

In the Western Han Dynasty, the city of Wulei was close to the canal plough officer, and the "Tuntian Duwei" belonged to the capital protection. In the former Han Dynasty, they all governed 36 countries in the Western Regions, and later increased to 50 countries. Togo opened the house (please note!) ）。 The subordinate officers have deputy lieutenants, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones; Cheng alone; Sima, Hou, and Qianren are two each.

The position of the protector is: "Commanding Dawan and the kingdoms of the city to the east, and supervising the Wusun, Kangju and other countries, and issuing court orders; If the kingdoms are in turmoil, they must send troops to fight against them. ”

In other words. In the former Han Dynasty, the administrative division of the Western Regions was at the same level as the state, and the capital was protected. By the present Han Dynasty, the Western Regions had been relegated to the county level. Set up a long history, which belongs to the Liangzhou Thorn History Department.

As far as Liu Bei is concerned, once he gets his wish, he will become the protector of the Western Regions. He has the right to open the house!

The shogunate and the retainers, some of the functions overlapped. However, compared with the 300 miles of Linxiang and the 5,000 miles of the Western Regions, it is more extensive. Enough for Liu Bei to gallop.

In order to fully control the entire Western Regions. Liu Bei also needs to be tuntian separately.

Another, more important reason. The fragile ecological environment of the oasis is also not suitable for over-cultivation. Hoard more than 100,000 people on the Qiuzi Oasis. The ecological pressure on the oases is too great.

So Liu Bei considered it comprehensively and decided to postpone the construction of the city.

Instead, he ordered the cities to be garrisoned, to renovate the walls, to repair the houses, and to welcome the immigrants from outside the country to settle there.

The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated. Some small countries have populations of thousands or even tens of thousands. From the perspective of the Hereafter. It's too tyrannical. According to Liu Bei's assumption. There should be millions of people in the Western Regions. It can be a strong outer domain and a barrier for the three auxiliaries of Gyeonggi.

The establishment of the Chinese culture hall and the quality bank. As well as the continuous sinicization of various countries, as well as the injection of 200,000 fresh blood from outside the territory, it is enough to stir up the original pattern of the city-states in the Western Regions.

Politically speaking. The Han Dynasty is parallel, and the system of the second reduction of the marquis. It is also very conducive to the integration of the countries of the Western Regions. Just treat the fifty countries of the Western Regions as vassal states. The identity problem of the people of the Western Regions can be easily solved.

Just continue to sinicize.。 In particular, several large countries in the north and south provinces. Once the sinicization is completed,The request is attached as a vassal state.。 The remaining small countries will inevitably fall into place.

Judging by the current trend. The country of Guizi bore the brunt. In time, it will become the first vassal state of the Western Regions. Then there was Shache, Shule, and Cheshi......

Liu Bei could only say. Before and after the Han Dynasty, Huanghuang 400 years, the foundation laid is really good. If it weren't for the severance of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sinicization would have come to an abrupt end. The Western Regions could have been integrated into the embrace of the Celestial Empire two thousand years earlier. When the Western Regions become the Han land, I want to lead the green onion to the west. Isn't it a bit of a long-term hope?

Luoyang, in the colony. General Fuhan's Mansion.

Huangmen Ling Zuo Feng was looking at the few cold plums in full bloom in front of the hall, and tasted the fragrant tea in the cup with a calm expression.

"Shaoling."

"Master Book."

As the two main books of incense under the prince, Jia Xu and Li Ru are now famous in the world. The unicorn is good at understanding people, and every time there is something, there will be something. The two main bookkeepers are both talented in the world. Pick up people and treat things, and have their own manners. And the lord Liu Bei trusts and delegates power, one goes to the Western Regions, and the other is close to Luoyang, all of them are smart and comfortable, like a fish in water.

"Multi-faceted, dredge up and down, and finally live up to the trust of the monarch." Zuo Feng got straight to the point.

"Thank you very much." Jia Xu bowed.

"Why should the master book be seen? I am friends of life and death with the prince. It's just a trivial matter, so why bother. Zuo Feng smiled and stretched out his hand to help him up.

Jia Xu took out a lacquered wooden box from behind him and pushed it in front of Zuo Feng: "The name of this thing: Guishan Seven Treasure Box." It was obtained by the lord in the Western Regions, and each of the seven treasures was worth a thousand gold. Together, the seven treasures are even more valuable. The lord traveled thousands of miles and sent it quickly. Instructions, must be face-to-face to be less ordered. ”

"This ......" Zuo Feng's eyes were full of infinite joy, and he bowed to the west: "Slave, I'm ashamed." ”

Jia Xu also worshipped.

Zuo Feng put the seven treasure boxes in his sleeve, and suddenly thought of something: "Can the main book know about Liu Yushi?" ”

Jia Xu was slightly stunned: "I don't know." ”
