The opening of the Three Kingdoms is Gatling

Hua Xiong asked back.

"Who doesn't know that Luoyang City is in ruins now? It will cost a huge price to rebuild it. The court cannot afford this price!"

Cao Cao said coldly.

His words made all the ministers in the court nod in agreement.

Even Liu Xie nodded in agreement.

Luoyang City is so large that it was not built overnight

After Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu established Luoyang as his capital, it took nearly 200 years of development to form such a large scale.

To restore the original appearance of Luoyang City, it will take a long time and huge human and material resources.

Hua Xiong smiled faintly and said softly,

"Then what if I tell you that Luoyang has been rebuilt?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire court was stunned.

"This is impossible!"

Xun Yu shook his head first.

"Master Grand Master, if you tell a lie, it can be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Sun Rui pretended to be kind to persuade him.

Even Li Ru, Guo Jia, Cai Yong, Wang Yun and others felt that Hua Xiong was either bragging or crazy.

This is the number one Luoyang city in the world, how could it have been rebuilt?

Only Cao Cao didn't think so.

He suddenly remembered that Gao Shun and the ten thousand soldiers had mysteriously disappeared on the way back from Yanzhou.

Impossible

"Hehe, am I lying? Your Majesty and all the ministers, please follow me out of the hall to find out."

Hua Xiong laughed.

"Okay, let's all go out. I would like to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Grand Master!"

Xun Yu snorted coldly, and walked out of the ceremony first.

Cao Cao looked solemn, and walked out of the hall with the crowd.

On the ground outside the main hall, a gray wall was erected at some unknown time.

"Huzi, show your ministers how strong this wall is."

Hua Xiong ordered with a smile.

"Yes!"

Huzi greeted several of his subordinates and came to the wall.

They were holding heavy hammers, and they were hitting the wall with random hammers.

But don't look at the thin wall, which insisted on holding on for a while in the hands of Hu Zi and others before it was smashed down.

"Guys, do you think this wall is strong?"

Hua Xiong asked with a smile.

"Sturdy is solid."

Xun Yu said impatiently, "My lord, why did you start to become a mason?"

Hua Xiong was not angry either, he smiled lightly and said,

"But if I told you that the wall was built in less than a day, would you believe me?"

"Impossible! This wall is so strong, even comparable to the city wall of Chang'an City, how could it be built in a day?"

Cao Cao immediately objected.

He has personally participated in the construction of city walls, so he clearly knows that it will definitely not take a day or two to build a similarly strong city wall.

Not to mention that the wall built by Hua Xiong is far better than ordinary city walls.

Hua Xiong smiled lightly, pointed to a pile of gray powder behind the wall, and said with a smile,

"This thing is called lime. If you add clay, sand and gravel to it, and supplement it with special red bricks, you can easily build such a solid wall!"

"And things like lime and red bricks are very easy to get."

"In this way, rebuilding Luoyang City will no longer be difficult."

"When the class teacher returned to the court, I had already sent Gao Shun to Luoyang City. In a month or two, the preliminary reconstruction work can be completed."

After pacifying Yanzhou, Hua Xiong considered moving the capital.

So he found the former blacksmith Ding Shuai.

Ding Shuai is very capable. Hua Xiong just briefly explained the production methods of cement and red bricks, and he instantly understood and made cement.

So Hua Xiong specially ordered Gao Shun to take [-] soldiers and [-] civilians from Yanzhou to rebuild Luoyang City.

With cement and red bricks, coupled with Hua Xiong's previously invented assembly line method, the reconstruction of Luoyang City went smoothly.

After hearing Hua Xiong's words, Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others took a breath, their eyes were full of shock!

They never imagined that the impossible task of rebuilding Luoyang City would be accomplished secretly by Hua Xiong!

Jia Xu, Li Ru and others on the side were also surprised.

No wonder Hua Xiong not only did not object when Cao Cao and the others proposed moving the capital, but also nodded in agreement.

It turned out that he had already made arrangements!

"Now do you think Xu County is better or Luoyang?"

Hua Xiong asked with a smile.

Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Yang Zan and others looked at each other, but were speechless for a long time.

There were no voices of opposition, and Liu Xie listened to Hua Xiong's opinions in everything.

So the matter of moving the capital to Luoyang was quickly decided!

Cao Cao and the others had no choice but to pinch their noses and nodded in agreement.

After the dynasty was dispersed, Cao Cao and the others gathered at Xun Yu's mansion again.

Everyone looked listless.

"Hey, I didn't expect Hua Xiong to rebuild Luoyang secretly. It's really hateful!"

Xun Yu hammered the table heavily, with a rather unwilling expression on his face.

Cao Cao regained his energy and comforted everyone,

"You don't need to be discouraged, we still have a chance to win back."

Xun Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then said happily, "Meng De, do you have any other solutions? Tell us quickly."

Chapter 1 The New Luoyang City

"Even if Hua Xiong insists on making Luoyang his capital, you all know that there is not a single grass growing in Luoyang, so he has to recruit officials from the surrounding areas, right?"

"With the prestige and appealing ability of the few of us, why don't we recruit all those new officials in minutes?"

Cao Cao smiled proudly.

When everyone thought about it, it seemed to be such a truth.

Cao Cao, who assassinated Dong Zhuo alone and participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, was very prestigious among scholars.

Xun Yu, born in Yingchuan Xun's family, has a prominent background.

As for Yang Zan and Shi Sun Rui, they are even more famous.

As soon as these people came forward, didn't those new officials immediately come to kneel and lick?

Everyone nodded and began to discuss the detailed plan.

Time flies by.

Soon Hua Xiong received news from Gao Shun that the reconstruction of Luoyang City was nearing completion.

Most of the buildings have been restored.

Although the remaining small part has not been completed, it is not enough to affect the move of the capital.

So the mighty work of moving the capital began.

The last time the capital was moved from Luoyang City, everyone from the emperor to the dignitaries to the common people was frightened.

If Dong Zhuo hadn't used force to force him, no one would be willing to come to Chang'an City.

Countless people were killed or injured on the road.

But this relocation is completely different.

Facing the officials who came to register the materials, the people were all beaming and very enthusiastic.

Firstly, most of the civilians moved from Luoyang, eager to return to their homeland.

Secondly, this is Hua Xiong's proposal to move the capital, and he is very popular among the people.

The site for registration materials can be described as a sea of ​​people.

An old lady took the official's hand, with some concerns,

"We have a house in Chang'an City, what will we do in Luoyang City?"

Hearing what she said, other people also talked about it.

"Yeah, what should I do if I have no place to live?"

"I think Master Grand Master will definitely divide the house."

"Impossible, there are so many people in Chang'an City, can the grand master divide the houses one by one?"

Facing the discussion of the crowd, Wang Yun, who was in charge of moving the capital, stroked his beard and said with a smile,

"Everyone, don't worry, Master Taishi won't let you have no place to live. Every household will be allocated houses according to their heads!"

"And I assure you, the house you get will definitely be better than your current one!"

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved and rushed to register the information.

I am afraid that I will be forgotten, or that I will not be able to get a good house if it is too late.

After the registration materials are completed, the transfer of the capital will begin normally.

Tens of thousands of Han dignitaries and hundreds of thousands of common people set off from Chang'an City at the same time.

With a leisurely attitude, they walked on the road for half a month before resisting Luoyang City.

When they saw the reconstructed Luoyang City, everyone present was stunned!

This new city, built with cement, clay, and red bricks, is slightly larger than the previous Luoyang City.

It looks more majestic and magnificent!

All houses are built to the same specifications and are well organized.

The commoners used to live in loess houses, but this was the first time they saw such houses made of cement.

Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom have everything.

Everyone was stunned.

"I'll go, this house probably costs a lot of money?"

"We can afford to live in such a house, thanks to the Grand Master!"

"Thank you, Grand Master!"

The voices of the common people were filled with gratitude to Hua Xiong.

The military officials on the side also heard it.
