It is currently 212 B.C., and six years have passed since 218 B.C., when Lu Zhe began to build the city of Nanling.

With the continuous construction of all aspects of the city, the continuous increase in population has also made the buildings within the city walls become secret, and so far there have been only some large-scale projects, such as some sections of the city wall fortifications have not been completed.

As the royal city where the king lives, although Lu Zhe himself has always adopted an unhurried attitude, but after Lu Zhe's rule is stabilized, even if Lu Zhe does not care so much about the progress of the renovation of the palace city, those courtiers do not dare to do anything wrong.

The first city to be completed was the city wall, and the first building complex was the council hall and the government affairs hall, which can be regarded as the building of the harem, because Lu Zhe's intervention only built a small part.

Before Lu Zhe led the army to the north, three palaces in the palace city had been built, in addition to the opening of the council hall and the government affairs hall, there was also a bright hall, and the harem had reached about three-tenths or four tenths of the time when it was completely renovated.

It must be noted that if the word "temple" is used in modern times, then the building is definitely more than just a temple. The so-called "hall" also has quite a lot of supporting facilities, can be a lot of halls or side halls, but also can have quite a lot of rooms, then the "hall" refers to a huge number of buildings, but also add the corresponding green scenery and pavilions and other greening.

Lu Zhe has always demanded that the country's representative buildings be large, huge and huge, and use "big" to reflect the insignificance of people in front of the building, giving the viewer a shock that is recognized from the depths of their hearts, and allowing them to extend a sense of awe and even fear.

That is to say, Lu Zhe brought a lot of siege equipment that did not appear in this era, coupled with the mature use of cement, with the corresponding stone and wood, the requirements for buildings to reflect "big" can be realized. If you use the original technology of more than 200 years BC, if you want to reflect the "big", you don't know how many people's brain cells will have to be tossed and killed.

Because of the special nature of Miyagi, the skilled craftsmen in charge of the design used steel materials. When they built the load-bearing columns, they adopted the modern reinforced concrete model, and even added the original stone masonry technology as a double insurance.

Walking in Miyagi in a horse-drawn carriage, Lu Zhe could see that many buildings had huge load-bearing columns exposed, especially the load-bearing columns at the entrance and exit of the buildings, which were not only thick and surprisingly long, but also seemed to have been sculpted with a lot of effort on the entire load-bearing columns.

The finished product's load-bearing pillars are dyed, and most of the load-bearing pillars are processed into a huge samurai wearing armor, with only a small number of animal carvings being made.

Can you imagine what a load-bearing pillar with a length of more than ten meters looks like a heavily armed samurai? The magical dyeing technique makes them look like a living giant standing guard. What surprised Lu Zhe the most was that the matching weapons of the huge samurai seemed to be real? The huge blade was also illuminated, and the cold sharpness of the sun reflected in the sunlight.

"Who came up with the idea?"

"Back to the king, it's from Shi Lu."

Shi Lu? The greatest craftsman of the late Qin Dynasty in ancient times. It seems that only his dexterous brain can come up with this pattern, so that the load-bearing pillar looks like a samurai, with his head against the ceiling, and his body posture is like an armed guard.

Lü Zhe has already sent Shi Lu to Shuzhong, and it is necessary to carry out preliminary exploration on the construction of a waterway from the water system of Shu County to the Yangtze River, forming a canal connecting Shu County, Ba County, and Hanzhong County, and connecting the Yangtze River from this canal, and building a canal in one aspect, so that this canal will become a link connecting several counties.

Some of the load-bearing columns show animal carvings. Their sculptures are almost not repeated, most of them are the prototypes of birds, extending the phoenix, the bird, the three-headed bird, the nine-headed bird and many other kinds, and there are more two-clawed dragons, three-clawed dragons, four-clawed dragons, five-clawed dragons, and Ying dragons. One thing in common is: The area where they are located definitely has walls, so that the plastic area is increased, for example, various sculptures based on birds can have space to extend their wings, and the walls can be beautified.

"It didn't cost much other than dyeing."

The Chinese people have mastered dyeing skills since the time of primitive society. Most of the colors are extracted from various parts of the plant, and the control of pigments is an additive mode, which is operated according to the desired eye color. With Lu Zhe's intervention. In fact, the pigment table has appeared, so that the existing technology presents a systematization, and it will inevitably become a branch of chemistry-related knowledge.

Needless to explain, Lu Zhe also knows that cement is inherently malleable, and even if it is made of stone, there is enough technology for carving, so that what you want to carve only needs to have enough imagination, and whether it can be completed is not an obstacle.

"There are a lot of things covered with cloth in the square outside the castle and inside the palace city, have you already chosen someone?"

"Back to the king, the square outside the city is a sculpture. According to your previous instructions, the soldiers with outstanding tables are all within the scope of selection, and some of them have been selected by the Taiwei Bureau, two of whom are soldiers, one is the commander of the army, and three are the chief of the army...... "It is Zhang Liang who speaks, and he is now the doctor of Lu Zhe."

Yes, outside Miyagi Square is a place where statues are erected for soldiers below the rank of captain, and not only outside the square will have that type of statue, but there will also be similar statues in the parks in the city and even at the city gates, all over the country.

The reason for such a thing is quite simple, it is that Lu Zhe set up an encouragement program to motivate soldiers to fight hard, after all, in addition to seeking wealth in life, there are also spiritual appeals, which is the so-called "leaving a name in history". For the Chinese ethnic group, because of the idea of ancestor worship since ancient times, it extends to the desire for oneself to be able to leave a name for all generations, and this desire is shared by everyone.

To build a hero, as long as there is a contribution, whether it is an ordinary person or a noble person, it can become a hero who will be remembered for eternity, what could be more attractive than this? Lu Zhe introduced a plan to erect a statue for him and record it in the annals of history, for many people, just fighting hard for the country (ethnic group) may leave a name for eternity, which can already give many people a reason to fight to the death.

The carving rules in Miyagi are slightly higher, and some less important positions are arranged for people at the rank of captain, general, and partial general, such as the important position in the square in front of the council hall for people who need to be above the rank of partial general.

Each sculpture was required to be realistic, and the costume on the statue was the style of their status at the time, which means that the soldier was the soldier's costume. Then there is a repeatability, the soldier is selected as a soldier does not prevent him from being selected again after becoming a general, and the sculpture of the face just needs to change the outfit on the body.

It is not only the military personnel who are the only targets to be selected, but also those who have contributed to other fields, such as those who have contributed to iron smelting have been selected, and even craftsmen who have made special contributions to the management of the Yangtze River have been selected.

It is impossible for only one person to contribute to the progress of the times, and if we want to make progress in the times, it is not simply to expand in the military field, but what is needed is to make achievements in all fields, so it is natural to have all-round encouragement.

There is one thing that Lu Zhe must do after returning from the Northern Expedition, that is, to copy the modern systems and establish a table. To put it bluntly, it is to carry out the most basic scientific classification. Form a plan similar to a tech tree, so that there is a clear distinction between the various studies.

The distinction between research directions is the beginning of a further division of labor in society, and it is also the most important link in scientific and technological progress. In the development of the Chinese ethnic group for two or three thousand years, there has been no distinction between the scientific tree, and the result is that it has taken a long crooked path, and it is still a trivial matter for a layman to lead an insider, and even those who specialize in it do not know what kind of science and technology they specialize in is the most deadly.

The ancients were never stupid, what they lacked was a direction, and as long as there was a way forward, who could say that they would not achieve amazing things?

Of course, Lu Zhe would not be so stupid as to set up any scientific research direction without even understanding himself. What he needs is to do the most basic "copying", to show the several categories of modern scientific research in a tabular mode, and will not participate in unfamiliar fields, let alone point fingers or anything.

On the way to the Chamberseijeon. Lu Zhe and Zhao Wan and other concubines, wives, and children were separated, and Wen Cun could only be at night, and now Lu Zhe should first understand the situation in the local area.

The Eijeong Hall was the first complex to be built, and it is far inferior in layout compared to the later buildings. In fact, the House of Parliament and the Hall of Government Affairs will be demolished and rebuilt later. One qiē is only because the construction process of these two complexes was full of haste under the circumstances of the time.

During the Northern Expedition, the government affairs of the counties under the world have always been sent to Xingying, and Lu Zhe is not ignorant of what is happening in the local area. It's just that because of the particularity of the nature of the camp, what we know is the simplest, that is, we only know the result of one thing, and we don't know the process of that thing.

After the king and his servants were seated, there were frequent footsteps in the corridor under the order, and maids with copywriting in their hands appeared, and many books were stacked on top of the copywriting in their hands, and some of the maids even brought parchment material for the mountains and rivers.

"It seems...... That's a lot! Lu Zhe just said something casually.

But it's really true, the official documents that are constantly being submitted make the case almost impossible to put down. And this is still a text that can write hundreds of words on a page and thousands of words on a book, if it is replaced by the bamboo slips that can only write dozens or hundreds of words in a volume, wouldn't the entire council hall be filled with bamboo slips?

The king has special official documents that need to be reviewed, and the ministers will also distinguish the official documents that need to be read by identity, and it seems to be a huge reading project to see that everyone's desk is a pile of texts.

"Bring food and be light." Lu Zhe thought for a while and said, "Bring a few jars of grape wine from outside the plug, and take ice cubes." ”

A middle-aged woman who seemed to be a female official in the main hall replied, "No! Before leaving, he waved his hand to signal that the maids who did not need to stay were all gone, leaving only a few maids who might need to put on lamps and add water for the king or ministers.

"Grape wine?" Sima Xin made a coveted gesture and said with a smile: "Is it the kind of fruit wine that Wang Zhonglang and Xu Zhonglang presented together?" ”

Xiao He smiled and said: "That kind of fruit wine with ice is really good to drink." ”

In fact, there is no such fruit as grapes in the land of China at present, and there is no zài in wine. According to the original history, wine was not introduced to the Central Plains through the Western Regions until the Western Han Dynasty, and it has always been regarded as a luxury product produced in the Western Regions. In this historical version of Lü Zhe, the Han army went out to fight at least sixty years in advance, and also had contact with various ethnic groups in the Western Regions in advance.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the Han Empire's contacts with the countries of the Western Regions did not begin with war, but were actually based on tentative alliances. At that time, the Han army had eliminated the threat of the Hetao area and opened the road to the Western Regions, so there was trade, and many new things from the Western Regions were introduced to the Central Plains through private trade.

The Fertile Front did not obtain the grapes through trade, but at first by plunder in war, and later by the salute of foreign races.

The Xiongnu were in contact with those ethnic groups who migrated from the west, and some ethnic groups had formed alliances with the Xiongnu, but not all ethnic groups were willing to form alliances with the Xiongnu.

A few Zhonglang outside the Saiwai will not stand idly by watching the Huns move, and then the contact between the Han army and those eastward migration ethnic groups will begin.

Because of the rapid expansion, the Han army actually had a relatively proud feeling, and it was inevitable that there would be arrogance in dealing with others, and as a result, the contact with those foreign races began with war, and the plan was to carry out partial conquest, just like conquering some Hu people for their own use.

The size of the cavalry of the Saiwai Han army may not be able to fight a decisive battle with the Hu group led by the Xiongnu, but attacking some alien races with a small number can still achieve numerical superiority, and the equipment advantage brought by science and technology is even more obvious.

The Cheshi group is a large tribe with more than 100,000 people, most of whom are Asian Caucasians, and a small number of yellow and black people, and the civilization level is to the Bronze Age.

In several battles, the Han army was naturally unable to use all its strength because of its first nature, and when it found that it was impossible to conquer, it changed its strategy, and gradually came to terms with the chariot tribe that had both war horse cavalry and camel cavalry.

The Han army learned from the Cheshi people that among the alien tribes who migrated from the west, there were not many tribes with a population of more than 100,000, such as a tribe called Qiuzi, with a total population of nearly 250,000.

Before the Huns and other Hu people were solved, it would be fine if the strength of those alien races who moved eastward was weak, but it was found that the alien races that migrated eastward were not as weak as imagined, and several Zhonglang generals were not stupid enough to force those alien races to the side of the Huns...... (To be continued......)
