Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu are now ignoring the things outside the window, and they just want to see how to improve their strength, but the affairs of Daijun are still going on step by step.

After the phone call with Hehua, Gao Yuan immediately summoned the officials of Daijun to announce that after being called king, the country was named "Han", so he was called the king of Han.

The officials did not dispute the name of the country determined by the plateau, after all, this is the power of the plateau, and the others only obey the orders. However, since the name of the country has been decided, other things are much easier to do, because there are many announcements, stone carvings, large seals, book making, etc., which can be started, and people must be sent to inform the two countries of Qi and Chu that they will be crowned king, and that the matter of determining the name of the country will be determined.

Because now Daijun and Qi and Chu are still allies, and now they are discussing the formation of a joint column, since Gao Yuan has decided to be king, of course Qi and Chu should be notified. Although there are also officials who have built a year, it is better not to notify the two countries of Qi and Chu first, and wait for the plateau to be crowned king, and then send envoys to the two countries, and it is not too late to submit the credentials. After all, the claim of the king of the plateau is a big shock to the two countries of Qi and Chu, and it is likely to cause opposition from the two countries, so it is better to cook the raw rice first, and then inform the two countries of Qi and Chu.

But after thinking about it, Gao Yuan still felt that he should first notify Qi and Chu to fulfill the obligations of the alliance, on the contrary, if he first claimed the king and then announced, it would mean to snub the alliance. As for whether Qi and Chu accept it, that is a matter for Qi and Chu, and it has nothing to do with the plateau, because no matter whether Qi and Chu accept it or not, Gao Yuan will not stop being king. If Qi and Chu can't accept the fact that they are kings, then this alliance will be dissolved, let alone talk about the matter of cooperation, anyway, Gao Yuan did not put his hope on the basis of the alliance with Qi and Chu.

Another point is that the first batch of people who moved to Lingshou has also been determined, and this time there are about 30,000 people, in addition to the 5,000 troops stationed in Lingshou, there are also quite a number of craftsmen and their families, a total of about 20,000 people. Because outside the newly built Lingshou City, a piece of land was specially opened to build a craftsman's workshop, which was more than twice as large as the craftsman's workshop in Daijun, and was divided into five major areas: woodworking, metallurgy, printing, military weapons, and pottery. Now you can move in one after another.

The Mo family disciples who moved to Daijun with the plateau to settle down are also among the relocated people, and they will move to Lingshou to officially settle down and start working. In addition, Shen Shen will also accompany him to Lingshou to preside over the government affairs of Lingshou. and arrange for the subsequent migration of the population to Lingshou.

Of course, there is also a request to ask the plateau to go to Lingshou in person, depending on the construction of Lingshou, the newly built palace has been roughly formed, because this will be the residence of the plateau in the future, naturally it is necessary to go to see it in person, and there are places that need to be improved, it is best to go with the wives and concubines of the plateau, in addition, there is also the altar of the king, ceremonies and other things, which also need to be decided by Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan thought about it for a while, and felt that he really needed to go to Lingshou, and Daijun was about seven or eight hundred miles away from Lingshou, which was not too far, and there were also galloping roads, one by one, plus the time spent in Lingshou, it would not exceed a month, and it would not affect too many things, and Gao Yuan also decided to take all his wives and concubines, together with Chun Yu Zhongxiu, anyway, Chun Yu Zhongxiu is also half of his own people, and as long as Gao Yuan is willing, he can turn this half into one at any time.

Of course, the wives and concubines will not refuse, and they are also full of expectations for Lingshou, after all, Zhongshan has only been in the past sixty or seventy years, as the old capital of Zhongshan, Lingshou's geographical location and economic development are far above Daijun.

And Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu did not refuse this trip, because Lingshou is his future residence, so he naturally wants to take a look, anyway, he can also practice martial arts along the road, and he can also raise the original sparring partner.

After the decision was made, Gao Yuan immediately ordered to lead the wives and concubines to Lingshou for inspection. However, if the moving brigade walked too slowly, Gao Yuan decided that he and his wives and concubines would only lead a few guards, travel lightly, and rush to Lingshou first. The relocation brigade then slowed down. Because Lingshou is in the territory of Daijun, there are people settled along the way, and although there are not many people in this line on the plateau, there are many masters, and the general danger is not difficult to deal with.

So the plateau only brought a thousand cavalry to protect it, and the wives and concubines rode their own cars, set off from Daijun, and marched towards Lingshou.

All the way, nothing happened, and they all walked on the galloping road, very flat, most of the wives and concubines on the plateau were not pampered and weak, and they couldn't stand the bumps of the road, so the journey was very fast, and it took only eight days to reach Lingshou.

Lingshou is roughly the original place of Lingshou County, Hebei Province in the future, located in the central and western part of Hebei Province, west of Taihang Mountain, east of the Great Plains, about 40 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang City, of course, in this era, Shijiazhuang City is still a wilderness, and did not form a formal city.

After arriving at Lingshou, Guo Chen, the official responsible for supervising the Lingshou project, went out of the city to greet the Gao Yuan party. Guo Chen was originally Li Mu's protégé, and was later sent to the plateau by Li Mu, and he was also the highest team in the plateau, and he has also done a lot of practical things in Daijun over the years, and now he is serving as a doctor.

After entering the city, Guo Chen first arranged Gao Yuan and his party to rest in Lingshou's pavilion, because he had obtained the bird book from Daijun in advance, Guo Chen knew that Gao Yuan would come and bring all his wives and concubines, so he had already packed up a few sets of rooms for Gao Yuan and his wives and concubines to live. Although the project of Lingshou has not been completely completed now, and the living conditions are not good, Gao Yuan has always not cared about material comforts, otherwise he has lived in Daijun for six or seven years, and he has not expanded his mansion.

After everyone settled down, Guo Chen first briefly introduced the project of Lingshou to Gao Yuan and his wives and concubines.

The newly built Lingshou City is divided into two cities, the inner city is the royal city, which is rectangular, 216 steps long from east to west, and 284 meters long from north to south; The city wall is two feet eight feet high, and the battlements are eight feet high; The north and south city walls each open a gate, the east and west city walls each open two gates, the city gates are set up with city towers, the north and south city are four zhang five feet high, and the east and west city towers are three zhang six feet high; Set up arrow towers at the four corners of the city wall, five feet high and six feet high, divided into two layers; and dug a moat along the ring city, six feet and six feet wide; An eight-foot-high wall of sheep and horses will also be built on the moat.

The royal castle is divided into three parts, the front part is the main hall, which is the place where the ministers of the plateau gather for deliberations, the area where the envoys of various countries meet and hold banquets, the middle part is the apse, which is the place where the plateau and the wives and concubines live and rest, and the back part is the temple, the altar, which is the place where the ancestors, priests, ancestors, and gods are placed, and there is the inner treasury of the royal city. Of course, there are no spiritual tablets to be enshrined in the temple now.

There are more than 120 houses in the entire royal city, totaling nearly 1,000 rooms. Now the architectural structure of all the houses is largely completed, and the interior works are underway, but between September and October, the interiors of most of the houses can be completed, which can basically meet the various needs of the royal palace, and the remaining works are mainly the scenic spots, roads and local decorations in the royal city, and it will take at least one or two years to complete all of them.

However, the royal palaces of various countries are not built at one time, and some royal palaces will be built for more than ten years, and after the king moves in, they will continue to repair and improve, and each generation of kings will carry out some partial renovations to the palace. It's just that the plateau obviously can't wait that long, so you can only live in it first, and then build it while living.

According to Gao Yuan's estimate, the entire Wangcheng is about a rectangular complex of 300 meters by 400 meters, with a total area of 120,000 square meters, about 0.12 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of half of the Bird Suppression Stadium. However, a royal city of this scale can only be regarded as a small royal city in this era, and the area of the royal city is more than one square kilometer in a large country like Qin Qi, which is mainly because before the construction of Lingshou, the plateau set the tone, and try to use the existing buildings to renovate, as long as it can meet the use. Otherwise, the area of the royal city will at least double, and the project will be delayed for at least another two or three years.

The outer city is the main body of Lingshou City, which is about 960 steps long from north to south, more than 850 steps wide from east to west, and the total area reaches 1. Five square kilometers, the overall scale is similar to the previous Zhongshan Kingdom, although it is nearly twice as large as Dai County, but in this era, it can only be regarded as a large city, far from being compared with Xianyang, Linzi, Daliang, Handan and other large capitals, which usually cover an area of more than five square kilometers.

The walls of Lingshou City are as high as three feet and six feet, with three gates on each side and six horse faces. The pattern of the city is centered on the royal city and is distributed in a cross shape. The buildings around the royal city are basically the houses of the government, the south is the place where the officials handle official business, the east and west are the military camps and armory guarding the royal city, and the north is the treasury of Lingshou. The rest of the place was the residence of the officials, so that a buffer and protective belt was formed at a distance of about one hundred and fifty paces around the royal city. On the periphery is the residence of the residents. The city can accommodate a total of about 150,000 people, although the existing buildings of Lingshou are basically used, but due to the internal layout has undergone many changes, more than half of the buildings are still newly built, and the residents of the original Lingshou City have also moved away nearly eighty percent, and they are all building houses outside the city. However, at this time, there was still a large amount of open space in the city, and only the roads were planned, and since it was in the outer area, there were few houses, only a few solitary ones.

This is because Gao Yuan considered that in order to fully build Lingshou City, it would not only consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but also prolong the time, so Gao Yuan decided to vacate the residential areas on the periphery of Lingshou City and sell the land to civilians who were willing to move to Lingshou to settle down, and they could build their own houses.

After the capital of the plateau was moved, the center of gravity will naturally shift from Daijun to Lingshou, so in addition to the families of officials and soldiers, a large number of merchants will definitely move to Lingshou to settle down. These people are not short of money, let them build their own houses, can reduce the financial pressure on the government, after all, now that the four countries are standing side by side, each country must maintain high-intensity military investment, and the plateau is unwilling to invest too much manpower and material resources in the construction of Lingshou, which is also an important reason.

In fact, the land on the periphery of Lingshou City is indeed very sought-after, if it weren't for the plateau's intention to leave a few pieces of land for backup, I am afraid that it would have been ordered by the merchants and Haoqiang of Daijun long ago. And not only in Lingshou City, but also outside Lingshou City, there are also a lot of land that have been bought, because you can't buy land in the city, you can only retreat to the next best thing and sell a piece in the city. Anyway, these places are only separated by a wall from Lingshou City, and it is convenient to come and go, and the price is much easier.

However, in this way, outside Lingshou City, the scale of several towns has also been formed.
