Chapter 685

If the envoys of various countries saw prosperity in Jiankang and saw energetic labor and the people after the war before they set out from Jiankang and arrived in Chang'an, then they really didn't see Chang'an as the capital of a strong empire.

The old Chang'an city was repaired in the former Zhao LiuYao period. It should be said that the city wall was still very magnificent, but it was not the rebellion of the Xiongnu slave Jie nationality behind it. The di nationality and Qiang nationality also rebelled in turn. The old Chang'an city actually experienced the test of war again and again. The magnificent city wall was damaged again and again in many wars. After waiting for the Jie nationality to sit in the Central Plains, it will be in Xiangguo, The old Chang'an City has not been repaired at all.

Today's old Chang'an city is not only the city wall is full of gaps, but also ten buildings in the city have fallen four or five. Those that have not collapsed are not much better. They are either overgrown with weeds or seriously damaged, resulting in the impression that they are completely dilapidated.

Liu Yan wants to set the capital in Guanzhong. Considering that the new Chang'an city can not be repaired in a short time, the government has cleaned up the old Chang'an City, and the main object of repair is the palace city, but a dilapidated city can not be recovered in a short time. In addition, after the new Chang'an City, the old Chang'an city will be leveled. It really doesn't take much effort to repair it.

The authorities cleaned up the old Chang'an city to a certain extent. Roads are one of the objects to be cleaned up. Then, they bulldozed some areas. The army set up camps in the cleared areas. As a result, the old Chang'an City has become a large barracks with tents.

The rest place arranged by the state of Han for the diplomatic missions of various countries was a relatively intact house in the city, or a relatively humanized isolation. For example, the two sworn enemies of Persia, Sasan and Rome were arranged far away.

"This city was once the capital of the most powerful empire of the Han people?" Kianush Alta Aldasher agreed to go up a city tower and look at the whole city from a high place. He can find that the urban area is still very large: "although he sees pieces of ruins, he can imagine that the city must have been brilliant."

To be honest, the old Chang'an city is really big. If there is not enough height, you can't see the end at a glance. If you count the suburban manor, it will look even bigger.

"The Han people are building a new city there." Ugutai Bahram pointed to the south, too far away, only to see some vague outline: "I heard that more than 1.5 million labor was used?"

In the construction plan of new Chang'an, the new Chang'an city will no longer build walls, but will divide each "square" according to road planning. The new town is at the southeast end of the old city. It is still in the middle of abundant water and dominating water, but it is closer to dominating water.

The location of the new Chang'an city is actually Chang'an during the Li Tang Dynasty. Only when there is a change of place can there be friends. If there is no change of place, it can only be the city gate to send friends away. Therefore, Li Tang has no record of friends before.

This time, the planning of the new Chang'an City directly erased Du County, and Lantian was partially covered. During the Li and Tang Dynasties, it also expanded southward again and again, getting closer and closer to the Qinling Mountains.

"1.5 million?!" Kianush Alta Aldasher almost peed: "we came from the South and saw at least 2 million labor force along the way! The Han Empire used 3.5 million labor force in the same year? It's terrible!"

In fact, it's far more than 3.5 million. After spring farming, it's time to collect and issue corvee. In addition to normal corvee, there are paid employment. More than 6 million people participate in large-scale construction. Most of them are concentrated in the construction of national roads from Jiankang to Guanzhong, 1.5 million are used to build the new Chang'an City, and the rest are scattered everywhere.

The eight years of Yuanshuo is getting closer and closer to the occurrence of drought, and even drought has broken out in some areas. The government has not watched the disaster cause serious consequences, but has taken major projects to collect the population, especially in the areas where the disaster has occurred.

The diplomatic missions of various countries did not know that the Han state was facing a large-scale natural disaster. They started the large-scale project to achieve the purpose of providing work for relief. They would only be shocked by the fact that the Han state was able to organize millions of people to work, marvel at the organizational ability of the Han state, and wonder why the Han people cooperated with the government extremely.

"Let alone organizing 3.5 million people to work, we will even concentrate 100000 people to work together in a mess." Ugutai Bahram knew kyanoush very well Alta Aldasher was shocked. He smiled bitterly and said, "the last time we built the road from Taixi to Iraq, only 80000 people could break out of violence."

Ugutai Bahram was talking about seven years ago. At that time, Persian Sassanian was planning to attack the eastern provinces of Rome again. In order to achieve the speed of rapid troop dispatch and subsequent baggage transportation, a considerable number of Arabs, Jews, Egyptians and African blacks were recruited. As a result, Arabs fought with Jews before the road was built.

Why are there so many nationalities in the Sassanian dynasty? In fact, since the Parthian period, they have conquered a considerable number of countries and nationalities, and some have been persecuted by other countries. For example, Jews who have long migrated all over the world belong to independent immigrants.

It was a long time ago that Jews and Arabs were not right. That was after the "Jewish War" from 66 to 70 ad. the background was that Jews resisted the rule of the Romans and ended the war with the capture of Jerusalem by the Roman army. After that, Jews began to flee all over the world. They were divided into many branches to find their own way out, mainly fled to non Roman ruled areas, a considerable part fled to NABA Thailand at that time, and more fled to the Parthian Empire and the kingdom of Armenia.

Hundreds of years later, Jews still do not have their own country, and their ethnic groups are more scattered than hundreds of years ago. Apart from the Jews who became slaves and were brought to Europe, a considerable number of Jews migrate to Europe by themselves. However, the Middle East still has the largest number of Jews, and the largest number of Jews are in Iraq and Syria.

To be serious, Arabs and Jews who do not have their own country actually feel sorry for each other, but the two sides do not sympathize with each other because of the same tragedy. On the contrary, the relationship is very bad. As for the reason, it is actually quite simple, but it can not be described in depth.

"Let the accompanying people open their eyes and use their minds!" Kianush Alta Aldasher took a deep breath: "negotiate with the Han people? If you can get permission, you must learn their management knowledge."

Ugutai Bahram immediately nodded fiercely. There is no shortage of countries with tens of millions of people in the world, but there are really few countries that can organize millions of people to work together. What he knows is that so far there are only two, That is the (ancient) Egypt that has perished and can't get up. The other is the Han civilization that has been reborn from Nirvana again and again. No other country can do it. No matter Rome or them, they obviously have no shortage of human and material resources, but they can't do it.

At another site, the Romans were allowed to enter the site directly.

The scope of the new Great Wall is very large. It is divided into areas and built in stages, olus Setus The place where Cicero took people is an area where the land is being cleaned and leveled. What we see is a clear division of labor. Some people shovel soil, some load soil and some transport out. There are many people, but there is no chaos. On the contrary, it is in order.

"Only slaves need supervision, and the cyris can work hard without supervision." Olus Setus Cicero is not only looking at the size of the project site, but also observing how to ensure the order: "they all seem to know what to do and don't need to be urged?"

In fact, both slaves and civilians are supervised, but the sergeant supervising slaves is too obvious. After the people are divided into groups, there are their own team leaders, and there are team leaders above the team leaders. Both team leaders and team leaders personally participate in labor, but they can urge and assign what the same group should do.

A short duration of time every little bit of the discipline of the Han people is the result of Liu Yan's registration of registered residence. The area will also carry out military management for a period of time. It is inevitable that a military management will be carried out, and then there will be a civilized military service system. In addition, every summer and winter, every county and county has its own military training, so discipline is built up bit by bit.

If we summarize it in terms, it can be said that today's Han state is in the stage of military one state, one Lord and one righteousness, including administrative construction and relevant military training system. Everything is paving the way for outward expansion.

When they are far away, they feel that the Han people are very orderly. After close observation, as long as they have a military career, they don't need to pay too much attention to observation, they can realize that they have military discipline.

"Jupiter is on the!" Olus Setus Cicero would not cross, nor call Jesus or God when shocked, but the LORD God of the original Roman faith: "that is to say, as long as the son of Siris is willing, he can have an army of millions of people with discipline at any time!"

In fact, the Romans have always been multi gods, one religion and one religion. The main god is Jupiter, but there are many gods. After conquering each place, they will bring the conquered gods into their religious 1 system.

Then, because Constantine the great (reigned from 272 to 337) joined ji1 Du1, Rome no longer excluded ji1 Du1, but still existed and worshipped other gods.

Tens of millions of Romans didn't care. In history, hundreds of thousands or even nearly one million people of imperial organizations in Central Asia invaded Europa. Rome itself won the real final victory with far less than the number of Parthian troops. Therefore, it really didn't care so much about the number of an army.

Olus Setus Cicero cares about the discipline shown by the Han people. Whether an army has discipline is fundamental. An army with discipline can be called an army, or it is a mob. Since he came into contact with the state of Han, he kept making comparisons in his heart. He thought that the Han army he came into contact with at the headquarters of pingman school was quite similar to the regular army of his own country. He heard that the state of Han had 13 standing legions and a very elite guard army.

The standing army of the Han state, plus the forbidden guard, is about 250000 people, but it does not count County soldiers and servants.

Rome had 56 legions when it was at its most. That was in the heyday of Rome in AD 117. Each Legion was 6000, with a total force of 336000. Four of them are distributed in Africa, nearly 30 are distributed in the Rhine and Danube, Romania (against Germania and Slav), more than ten are distributed in the Euphrates and Syria (against Persia), another Legion is resident in Rome (capital), and several are in England.

At that time, Rome had 56 legions, but in fact they were not of the same quality. Only 20 field legions could really pull out of the field, and the rest were quite garrison regiments.

Rome used 20 legions to destroy Parthia, and recruited the conquered barbarians to form eight legions. The establishment of the barbarian Legion organized by Rome is very irregular. For example, when the number of Teutonic legions is the largest, it exceeds 30000, and the smaller barbarian Legion has 3000 or 5000 people.

"Terrible!" Marius Ugri was excited: "because of this, we must strive for cyris to become our ally!"

"Yes! Yes! We must fight for it!" Olus Setus Cicero was very excited at first, but then said in distress: "but... Our request to meet the son of Siris was repeatedly rejected, and we didn't even have a chance to speak."

Marius Ugri said, "like the son of Siris, we didn't see the Persians. Our opportunities are the same, and even our advantages are greater."

"The cyris know nothing about Rome. The most important thing for us is to let them know how Rome exists." Olus Setus Cicero paused and added, "especially the fact that we once destroyed Parthia."

Not to mention that the Han state knew nothing about Rome. In fact, Rome also knew very little about the Han state today. Only those who came in person saw it with their own eyes and realized that the Han state had a huge source of soldiers can be regarded as jealous.

In the following period of time, the diplomatic missions of various countries still did not receive an interview from Liu Yan. On the contrary, LV Yi successively met with diplomatic envoys of various countries. He still did not respond to the alliance temptation of Rome and sassanne, and talked about commerce and trade.

Because they didn't know how the Han country should transport the purchased grain back, the envoys of various countries felt that even the Han country would not buy too much grain. Apart from the officially agreed grain transactions, they all agreed to allow the Han people to enter the territory to purchase grain. As a counterpart, the Han country accepted the trade requests of various countries.

Farther back, olus Setus Cicero learned that the Persians had determined the time to meet Liu Yan. In a hurry, he frequently asked to see LV Yi, eager to know when to see Liu Yan.
