Changan.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed.

The summer heat is slightly reduced, and it will be played by the eunuch Yan Bi, please repair the Daming Palace.

"The war in the northwest is established, so I also have to return the capital to Luoyang, and there is no need to build Daming Palace. To build a Daming Palace, according to Yan Bi's plan, the budget of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will take a year at the earliest, and it will take millions of people to recruit tens of millions. It's too wasteful, and after the war, it's not appropriate to build a lot of construction. ”

In the Qingliang Palace, the emperor pointed to the outside of the hall, "Isn't this Qingliang Hall very good now?" ”

Although the main fighting in the northwest has ended, the sporadic fighting has not stopped. Cheng Yanjin and others are stabilizing the three counties of Anxi, and they also have to support Tiele and Mo Helu in their crusade against the Khan.

And the generals Feng Xiaoci, Xue Wanjun, and Guo Xiaoke are also busy stabilizing the four counties of Qinghai.

Not to mention, the report that came from Jiannan just now showed that Su Dingfang had crossed the Luojiang River and was fighting with the Xishan Zhuqiang.

"Previously, Si Nongqing played, Chang'an's grain has been exhausted, and it may not be able to survive the autumn harvest, and the Huayin Yongfeng warehouse and Shaanxi County Changping in the transfer pass have bottomed out."

The land of Guanzhong, in fact, has long been exposed in the Han Dynasty, many of his shortcomings have been exposed, that is, although there are mountains and rivers, it is difficult to be self-sufficient, and even the capital of Chang'an cannot be supplied.

The peripheral places of Hexi, Shuofang, and Longyou are also located in remote areas, and the people are scarce, and the border fortress has to be on guard against Rongyi attacks and invasions at all times, so that the self-sufficiency of these places is sometimes insufficient, and once the troops are used, they have to transport grain from Guanzhong.

There was no food in Guanzhong, so they had to transport grain from Kanto.

However, transporting grain from the eastern part of the country to Chang'an is no better than transporting it to Luoyang, and in the area of Shaanxi County, it is a section of the river that cannot be crossed by a boat at all, and it must be transshipped by land.

Overland grain transport is cumbersome and has limited capacity. The more people are recruited, the more they are consumed. Under normal circumstances, the annual transshipment by land is about 2 million stones at most, and no matter how much the cost is, it will remain high, and the transshipment will not be enough.

This year, in order to fight this battle of gambling on the fortunes of the country, the imperial court also tried its best to recruit hundreds of people to come over to transport grain and grass regardless of the cost, so that although a lot of grain and grass were transported into the Guanzhong, and continuously transported to Hexi and Longyou, more than half of the grain was consumed on the road and was eaten by the people.

Huayin Yongfeng warehouse and Shaanxi County Changping warehouse originally stored a large amount of grain, that is, to prepare for the transportation of Guanzhong, in addition to Guanzhong Chang'an, in recent years also accumulated a lot of grain, but after a battle, Chang'an's granary was empty, Shaanxi County and Huayin's transshipment warehouse was also empty, there was still a period of time before the autumn harvest, Guanzhong and Kandong, there was no grain to transport.

Immediately, even the Chang'an Imperial Court will not be able to supply.

"I decided to return to Luoyang ahead of schedule, and the people also returned with the Northern Ya Forbidden Army and the Inner Ya Army."

Luoyang compared to Chang'an, the situation of Cao Yun can be much better, the north and south canals plus the Yellow River, are near Luoyang, Yang Guangxiu of the Grand Canal, is the east of Luoyang as the center, not to mention that Luoyang around that are all grain production land, Hedong, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Huainan, Shannan, especially important, the river network is all over, the road is smooth and smooth.

In the early years, Yang Jianli Sui, although the capital was Chang'an, but every few years there will always be the embarrassment that Chang'an's grain cannot be supplied to the imperial palace, so the emperor had to take hundreds of officials and forbidden troops, and ran to Luoyang, and then allowed the people of Guanzhong to follow with the grain in Guandong, and the emperor took hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to Henan The scene can be described as very embarrassing.

It is precisely for this reason that Yang Guang insisted on building the eastern capital Luoyang after succeeding to the throne, although the lack of food in Chang'an was only one of the reasons for him to build a new capital.

Although there are six capitals in Daqin, the emperor is still mainly based on Luoyang, the central capital, and the other five capitals are just accompanying the capital. Raising the specifications is also to strengthen the control of these important cities.

The Zaifu of the government have no opinion on this, and Chang'an City is indeed inconvenient everywhere.

Chang'an's Taiji Palace is low-lying and humid and hot, the Son of Heaven is not conducive to living and recovering from the disease, and Chang'an City also seems to be dilapidated, especially since the first year of the Kaihuang Sui Dynasty moved into the new Chang'an City, until the ninth year of the Great Cause, it took nearly 30 years for Chang'an City to reluctantly repair the walls of the outer city, but there are still many supporting facilities that have not been built.

Not to mention, after the Sui Rebellion, there are very few people in Chang'an City today, and there are no houses and residences in the large area in the south of the city, and they are all just farmland and vegetable gardens surrounded by square walls. Not to mention, since the reform of Buddhism and Taoism promoted by the emperor, the hundreds of large temples and Taoist temples in the Sui Dynasty have now all moved out, which makes Chang'an City seem depressed.

Although there are also ministers like Yan Bi who were born in the Guanlong aristocracy, they have a lot of feelings for Chang'an, and they proposed that the imperial court should take Chang'an as the capital teacher, enrich the population of Chang'an, and restore the prosperity of the past.

But the Zaifu have no interest in this, Luoyang City has recovered well in recent years, but now they want to abandon Luoyang and run Chang'an again, isn't it a blind toss, besides, who is the strongest force in the Great Qin Dynasty? It is not the old aristocrats of Guanlong, nor is it the Jiangnan Shi clan and the Kandong Shi clan, but the Shandong Haoqiang Group. Most of these people are the group of people who started with the emperor in Shandong, the earliest are some powerful small landlords and the like, and there are many people who are from the Shu family, they follow the emperor to fight, make meritorious contributions, and now become the founding heroes, occupy a high position in the court, the ancestral hometown is in Shandong, and the industrial family is mostly in Luoyang, who wants to come to Chang'an.

Anxi stayed in the first army to guard, Tuyuhun stayed in the first army to guard, plus the first army sent by Jiannan, in addition to the 72,000 people of these three armies, the rest of the army, the soldiers of the Southern Yafu returned to the military government, and the Northern Yafu Forbidden Army and the Inner Ya Pro-Army returned to Luoyang, as well as the Liujing garrison.

"Wei Zheng."

The deliberations were over, and the emperor left Wei Zheng.

The emperor and Wei Zheng walked in front of the palace together, watching the yellow leaves of the ginkgo biloba drift away.

"It has been four years since the founding of Great Qin, after this war, Great Qin has temporarily solved the external enemy, and within ten years, it can be said that there is no enemy who can threaten the Great Qin country, and this world is truly stable."

Wei Zheng nodded.

Whether it is the three feudatories in the south of the Yangtze River, or the Western Turks who have gone away to Qianquan, or the Tibetans and Zhuqiang, etc., after this war, they will not be able to endanger the imperial court.

Tuyuhun is dead, and the four counties of Qinghai have been established.

The three counties of Anxi were established, the Western Turks were divided, and the shooting generals had no time to take care of themselves, and the Tibetans had already declared themselves vassals to the Great Qin.

"It's a pity that this battle came too early, if it is ten years late, even if it is five years late, the imperial court can reap the full credit."

"Yes, although we won this battle, we don't have the strength to expand the results anymore, we can't recover the Western Regions in one fell swoop, and we can't take advantage of the situation to destroy Tubo again, it's really a doubt, but we're content." The emperor held the dragon staff, "The crisis outside is temporarily lifted, and then we must focus on the interior of the Central Plains, rest, recuperate, and restore people's livelihood and national strength." Of course, it's time to wrap it up. ”

The emperor gave Wei Zheng a task.

"Although you are not the first to follow me, but you have also followed when I was still at the end of the micro, you are watching how I fought this Great Qin with a knife and a gun, and you also saw with your own eyes how the previous dynasty collapsed little by little, I hope you can write two history books, one is called Daqin Entrepreneurship and Living Note, and write about how I created the Great Qin country. And the other is the history of the Sui Dynasty, you will write the main book, and set up a biography for the history of the previous dynasty, which can be regarded as a full end to the previous dynasty! ”
