Ancient promotion routine

Zhang Yanjin smiled faintly, avoiding Huang Xiujun's question, but asked another question: "How wide are you going to build the streets in Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Zhengzhou?"

"It can be carried out according to the previous scale of each place. Luoyang used to be the capital of the last dynasty, and the planning at that time was good." Huang Xiujun said without hesitation.

After the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the capital was established in Chang'an City. Chang'an City underwent large-scale construction and became the current appearance of 38 long streets. However, Luoyang was once used as a capital city. The scale is naturally large in Huang Xiujun's opinion. Not bad.

Yuwen Shangkai heard the words and nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yanjin smiled faintly, and instead of directly refuting, asked rhetorically, "What do you think Zhongzhou will develop into in the future?"

As soon as his words came out, both Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai fell into deep thought.

To be honest, the two of them really haven't considered such a problem. They just want to rebuild and transform the places in Zhongzhou according to the previous scale, which is more in line with the geographical conditions and makes the people live more comfortably. As for How this place will develop in the future is not within their consideration at all, and they even subconsciously feel that this is a problem that Luoyang officials have to consider.

"The flood in Zhongzhou has receded, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be rebuilt. Although this is the case, it also means rebirth." Zhang Yanjin stared at Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai closely with lightning eyes and said: "What we rebuild Zhongzhou now, Zhongzhou will be in the future. What does it look like?"

Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai grew up in the Great Wei Dynasty. They did not have advanced strategic vision and had certain ideological limitations. This is normal in Zhang Yanjin's view.

However, the planning and construction of a city should not only be built according to the current situation, but must be able to see the future. Otherwise, with the development of the economy, once the construction of the city cannot keep up with the development of the economy, it is bound to suffer to a certain extent. Restricting the development of the economy, in the end, there is only one end, the old buildings are demolished, and the city is rebuilt. In this way, human, material and financial resources are greatly wasted.

As the leader of the reconstruction of Zhongzhou, he cannot let this happen.

He asked people to hang up the previous planning maps of various places in Luoyang, took out a long and thin wooden stick and pointed at the place above, saying: "The previous planning is good, but it cannot be used as a reference for our reconstruction planning maps. After all, the past dynasties The plan is too stingy, and now we have to overthrow it and start over."

"This..." Yuwen Shangkai showed embarrassment.The embarrassment he felt was not because he thought there was any difficulty in redesigning and re-planning, but because he couldn't accept Zhang Yanjin's words that the previous planning was too stingy.

Forget about places like Kaifeng and Zhengzhou. Luoyang used to exist as the capital of the last dynasty. Who would not be moved by the prosperity of Luoyang and who would not be shocked by this magnificent momentum?

You must know that when their Majesty met the rebels in Luoyang, it was determined that the rebel leader was shocked by the prosperity of Luoyang and wanted to stay in Luoyang, so he seized the opportunity and captured the rebel leader in one fell swoop.

But Zhang Yanjin actually felt that this plan was stingy, and he really couldn't figure out if Zhang Yanjin was talking big, or if he really felt that the previous capital city was too stingy.

"I have only one idea, that is, the city cannot be built based on Luoyang's current development, but should be determined by Luoyang's future development."

Zhang Yanjin tapped the case table lightly, bringing Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai who were still in deep thought to their senses: "Luoyang is like this now, but what about three years later, five years later, or ten years later? You still think Luoyang is What does it look like now?"

Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai looked at each other, still hesitantly said: "But Luoyang has been like this for many years..."

Zhang Yanjin couldn't help sighing and said, "Luoyang is poor because of the poor and weak business. But if the business is developed, will Luoyang still look like this? Can the city built according to the previous plan still meet the needs of the common people?"

In the end, the three were still at loggerheads. Both Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai expressed that they did not understand Zhang Yanjin's idea of ​​using such a vast land to plant peonies, and felt that Zhang Yanjin was simply disregarding reality and having no ideas.

Zhang Yanjin felt that Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai were too conservative in their thinking, and the three discussed for many days without reaching a conclusion.

In the end, the three simply took a step back.

"Since you insist on this, why don't I draw the picture according to your design, how about we report it to the court and let the emperor make a conclusion?" Yuwen Shangkai looked at Zhang Yanjin helplessly and said.

Huang Xiujun also nodded, rather helplessly said: "At present, it seems that this is the only way to go."

Zhang Yanjin had been discussing with Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai for a long time without any results, and she was helpless. Seeing what Yuwen Shangkai said, she nodded in agreement. After all, they still have to report it after the design of their plan is completed. The imperial court can only go to the household department to apply for payment after the emperor agrees.

Furthermore, his idea of ​​developing a business circle in Zhongzhou was unprecedented for the Great Wei Dynasty, and he had to report it to the emperor.Anyway, in this era, the emperor is the boss, in the whole world, could it be that the king's land broke ground on other people's land, how could he not inform the master?

Within three days, Yuwen Shangkai and Huang Xiujun, together with Zhang Yanjin, drew the architectural blueprints of Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Zhengzhou, and handed them to Zhang Yanjin.

Zhang Yanjin packed his things and rushed to Chang'an City without stopping.

Since the three of them first arrived in Zhongzhou until now, although the emperor has not asked about the reconstruction of Zhongzhou, in fact, he has been secretly paying attention.

After hearing Li Mingrui say that Zhang Yanjin and the others had gone, instead of busying himself with other things, he walked the whole of Zhongzhou and re-mapped the map. His heart felt a lot more at ease.

After all, the reconstruction of a state in Zhongzhou is not a trivial matter. Zhang Yanjin has only shown his talent in building factories before. The reconstruction of a factory and a region cannot be compared at all.

This is why he has been silently paying attention to what Zhang Yanjin and the others did in Zhongzhou.

Zhang Yanjin hurried on the road without stopping. It was already evening when he arrived in Chang'an City. After resting overnight, he followed Zhang Zhongqian to the court the next day.

Although he is a local official, he has to wait until a specific day before he can go to court, but the reconstruction of Zhongzhou is a major event, which cannot be compared with ordinary days. Moreover, he has a title, so he can justify going to court.

Zhang Zhongqian looked at his tanned nephew, and suddenly thought of the frail nephew of the creamy boy two years ago, he had the illusion that Zhang Yanjin now and Zhang Yanjin at that time were just judgments. If there are two people.

After hearing Zhang Yanjin tell the reason why he came to Chang'an City to meet the emperor, Zhang Zhongqian also hesitated about Zhang Yanjin's bold idea, but he did not directly deny Zhang Yanjin's idea, but said: "It's good that you have an idea , but you have to look at it in light of the actual situation. After you go to court for a while, your report will definitely arouse the discussion of all the officials. At that time, remember not to be anxious, and you must listen carefully and believe well."

Zhang Yanjin's nagging about Zhang Zhongqian was still the same as before, going in one ear and out the other, but on the surface he was very humble and obedient.

He knew that it was Zhang Zhongqian who was doing it for his own good, but sometimes the words of the older generation had limitations in their thinking, so he had to choose what to say and listen to it.

Sure enough, as Zhang Zhongqian said, after Zhang Yanjin spoke out about his ideas in Zhongzhou, the civil and military officials of the whole court were in an uproar, thinking that Zhang Yanjin was young and frivolous, and his ideas were also frivolous and unrealistic.

"I think this method is too naive and frivolous, and it's too ridiculous." Chen Guogong directly stood up and said: "It is nonsense to use [-] mu of fertile land to grow flowers. Not to mention wasting land, it will harm the foundation of agriculture. Contrary to the national policy of the DPRK."

He glanced at Zhang Yanjin and continued: "Furthermore, the planned streets in Luoyang City are twice as wide as the previous streets, which is really a waste of paving. At that time, there will be few pedestrians, deserted shops, and few cars and horses. In short, it will be extravagant and wasteful." , extravagant!"

Han Gong also stood up and said: "I also think this idea is nonsense. Let's talk about the shops in this city. Everywhere in the streets can be used as shops. It is a waste of planning to plan a special business area!"

Liu Yanshi, the doctor who advised the doctor, also stood up and said: "My Majesty, although I don't understand the city planning, I also think Zhang Yanjin, the shepherd of Zhongzhou, is too frivolous. Maybe he has the talent for business, but how can some cleverness in business be used?" What about the reconstruction of Zhongzhou? If this continues, it will only make Zhongzhou worse, so I believe that the emperor still needs to choose suitable people to plan Zhongzhou, and must not listen to empty words, which will lead to waste."

Zhang Yanjin looked at Liu Yan's back in the center of the hall, and did not directly stand up to refute. He waited for the ministers to say all their objections, and then refuted them one by one.

It seems that he will also have a verbal battle today, Zhang Yanjin thought to himself mockingly.

However, he still admired Liu Yanshi's straightforward temperament. It can be said that only Liu Yanshi dared to do so in the entire Wei court.

Liu Yanshi's words just now clearly mean that the emperor made a mistake in appointing him at that time, and it is still too late to repent.

"I also think this method is not feasible." Other ministers also came out and objected: "Zhongzhou has just experienced heavy damage, and a lot of waste is waiting to be rebuilt. The loss is serious. At this time, how can it be so wasteful and affect the root? Please also ask the emperor It is best to appoint suitable people to rebuild Zhongzhou."
