"I heard that this city was built by His Majesty on the former site of Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty. Such a majestic city is magnificent!"

"Cough..." Wei Zheng coughed lightly, as if he couldn't bear it, but he still said honestly: "Men, Chang'an is Chang'an, and Daxing is Daxing. The Chang'an city in the former Han Dynasty was tens of miles west of Daxing, and it is now called Chang'an County. Today's Daxing City was rebuilt by His Majesty on the basis of the original Daxing County."

Fuck!Pretending to be big?

However, Qin Feng was really unclear about this matter. He always thought that Yang Jian rebuilt the city on the basis of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty and renamed it Daxing. It turned out that was not the case, and no one told him before.

"That's right." Qin Feng's expression remained unchanged, he nodded and said, "As a teacher, I just want to test your ability, so I made a mistake on purpose. Looking at it now, it's not bad, very good."

"Xuancheng, please continue to talk about it. The Qin Dynasty used Xianyang as its capital, the former Han still used Chang'an as its capital, and the later Han moved to Luoyang as its capital, but Chang'an, as the western capital, was also not abandoned. Until this dynasty, His Majesty used Daxing as his capital. But no matter what the name is, the capital is always here, why?"

For Qin Feng's words, Wei Zheng has now reached the point where he has no doubts, so he didn't refute his flawed excuses, but thought about his question carefully.

"Men, Chang'an is located on both sides of the Wei River, with thousands of miles of fertile fields and a large population. This is one of them."

"Chang'an has Hangu Pass in the east, Dashan Pass in the west, Xiaoguan Pass in the north, and Wuguan Pass in the south. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. The reason why the pre-Qin can sweep Liuhe is that the Han Dynasty The reason why Gaozu was able to defeat the Overlord is inseparable from occupying Guanzhong, and the other. I wonder if what the disciple said is right?"

"Children can be taught." Qin Feng praised: "However, there is another reason why Your Majesty decided to make Daxing the capital, do you know?"

Wei Zheng shook his head, cupped his fists and said, "Please teach me, my mentor."

"Guan Long!" Seeing Wei Zheng thoughtfully, Qin Feng explained in detail: "The aristocratic families in the world today can be divided into two types. Han has already gained a reputation and has a profound heritage."

"The other is the Guanlong family, or the family of the world. They are headed by the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. Unlike the Guandong family, the Guanlong family has no deep foundation. Most of them only rose in the past hundred years. Even His Majesty today It also started with Dugu Xin, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms. But they have one characteristic, that is, they are in charge of soldiers!"

"Kandong is a chancellor, and Kanxi is a general. These words are not just words. Dong Zhuo, who destroyed the Han Dynasty, is the representative of the Guanlong warriors. Your Majesty will make his capital here. It may not be that he has no intention of guarding against them."

This is not Qin Feng's alarmist talk, but that it will really happen in the future.

There are many reasons for the fall of the Sui Dynasty. Perhaps most people will blame it on Yang Guang, a tyrant. But looking at history, it is not difficult to find that it is not an exaggeration to say that Yang Guang was a great talent when he came to the throne. He created imperial examinations and opened canals. At that time, but they were all achievements that lasted for thousands of years, even if they were compared with Qin Huang Han Wu.

But Yang Guang's real turning point was the three expeditions to Goguryeo. During those three expeditions, Yang Guang could be said to have made a fool of himself.

Why did the wise and mighty emperor in the early days become so stupid?

You must know that Yang Guang was promoted to King Jin at the age of 13. He is definitely not a nouveau riche who suddenly ascended to a high position. When he was young, he led troops to fight against Nanchen. Why did they fail so often when attacking Goguryeo?

In Qin Feng's view, the most fundamental reason for this is the Guanlong nobles. There are a large number of soldiers under their command, with royal salaries, and their allegiance is to the Guanlong nobles, which makes Yang Guang feel threatened.

After all, this is how his father, Yang Jian, ascended to the throne of the emperor. He had no authority when he was there, but if he dies, will his descendants be able to suppress these arrogant people who master soldiers?

So he resolutely led the army to attack a small country, and then resorted to repeated tricks, not hesitating to be defeated several times, in order to consume all the soldiers of these Guanlong nobles.

But his violent behavior eventually aroused resistance. The Great Sui Dynasty was full of wars, wars against the king and warlords were endless, and the Turkic people were also eyeing. Even the warlords in the north, including Li Yuan who later ruled the world, turned out to be the first thing they did when they raised their troops. Only when the Turks play up, and then the Turks canonize a Khan position, can this be regarded as justified.

This situation did not change until the founding of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Er, who was equally talented and general, replaced Yang Er as emperor.

This is a tragic era. The alien races on the grassland are staring at the plump Da Sui all the time, but Da Sui is a giant after all. Before Yang Er died, even the Turkic, the current overlord of the grassland, would not dare to say victory easily .

"Tyrant? After all, it is still a struggle for power. In the end, the Li family's superior position just proves that Yang Er's worries are not unreasonable?"

Qin Feng clearly remembered that Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, was one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei Dynasty and a representative figure of the Guanlong clan.

After paying the city gate tax, the dilapidated mule cart entered Daxing City smoothly.Qin Feng thought of Li Yuan's army breaking Chang'an, the whole world was in endless wars, and there were no people in ten, so he felt agitated.

What should my children and grandchildren do?

Qin Feng has no children yet, but when he thinks that his descendants have to live in troubled times, and even have to suffer from the iron hooves of other races, when they are beheaded to death, he feels sullen in his chest.

When he arrived in the city, Qin Feng didn't intend to act directly. Instead, he wandered around like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time, and even took a look outside the uncompleted imperial city.

At this time, the Daxing Palace had begun to take shape, but according to Yang Jian's frugal temperament, although the entire imperial city occupied a lot of land, it was not considered brilliant.

There are even countless civilian husbands who are busy. The thick and thick trees that Qin Feng has never seen are dragged out of the deep mountains and old forests one by one, and transported here to build the palace.

"Men, countless people's power is wasted here in vain, and it is of no benefit to the country."

Wei Zheng expressed his views like a young angry youth.In his opinion, the emperor probably needs a palace to work and sleep. Why build so many palaces?

Qin Feng smiled, shook his head and said: "Xuancheng, don't learn from those rotten scholars. This is the capital of the Sui Dynasty. Your Majesty is the master of the Sui Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with living in a better place."

"This is His Majesty's face, and it is also my Sui's face, and my Han's face. Do you want Your Majesty to receive envoys from various countries in a very simple palace and accept their worship?"

Wei Zheng didn't understand. In the education he received and the books he read, there was only one sentence: the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least.

As long as the common people can eat enough, that is the great rule and prosperity that Confucianism wants. As for whether the emperor's palace is brilliant or not, it doesn't really matter much to them.On the contrary, if Qin Feng's words are put in the court, I'm afraid that a famous name won't be able to escape, and he will probably get the treatment of those treacherous officials and famous eunuchs.

"If you want the people to be rich, frugality is not useless, but relying on the emperor's frugality alone is a drop in the bucket... That's all, I will explain this matter to you later as a teacher. Let's find a place to eat first, are you hungry too?"

Qin Lang didn't care, after he came back last night, he ate a lot with Moutai.Wei Zheng's head is similar to that of a chicken pecking at rice. After killing people last night, he vomited a lot. After returning to Qinjiazhuang, he vomited again after drinking Moutai. His stomach was already empty. At this time, he heard Qin Feng say so. Said, I can't bear it anymore.

Chapter 41 Lao Tzu's revenge, seize the day and night!

Daxing City is a new city with wide streets and brand-new houses. Walking on the streets makes people feel comfortable.

Qin Feng and the others left the mule cart in the carriage shop, and went to have breakfast swaggeringly.

People in the north like pasta, and people in the south like rice. In fact, it’s all nonsense. For ordinary people who are still struggling to meet their food and clothing, what they eat depends entirely on what they have. For people from wealthy families, what they eat depends entirely on what they eat Personal preferences.

A concubine who rides the world of mortals laughs, no one knows that it is Lychee, which is the best interpretation of this matter.

However, it is certain that rice cannot be grown on a large scale near Daxing City, so rice is a rare thing in Chang'an after all.

Qin Feng ordered three bowls of soup cakes, which are commonly known as slices and noodles, and ordered a few boiled eggs, and then Qin Feng took out a can of chili sauce from his arms.

This thing is not a rare item in Qinjiazhuang, at least in the main house. After the initial discomfort, chili has become a must-have for Liu Wanting and Wan'er's daily meals. Even Qin Lang, Qin Hua Also took a lot.As Qin Feng's disciple, Wei Zheng will naturally not be left behind.

"Uncle Lang, give me some more."

Thinking of the spicy taste of Laoganma, Wei Zheng couldn't help but salivate, wishing he could snatch the jar from Qin Lang's hand and do it himself.

But Qin Feng is not stupid, he did not bring out the transparent glass bottle of later generations, but a small ceramic jar of this era, the purpose is naturally not to attract the attention of others.

Qin Feng curled his lips, wanting to pretend he didn't know these two guys, but sitting at the same table, he could only shout: "Don't grab them, there are plenty of them at home."

It's true, Qin Feng probably couldn't finish eating a whole container of old godmothers in his lifetime, and they don't have to worry about damage if they are stored in the warehouse, they are so beautiful.

If farmers are mobilized to grow peppers... Qin Feng shook his head and temporarily put this idea behind him.It's not that there are no seeds in the warehouse, but now that there are a lot of unresolved problems in Qinjiazhuang, he really doesn't care about it.

The noodles that others eat are all white leather noodles, at most you just add some salt, it looks white and miserable, but Qin Feng's table is different, the red color is fine, but what does it mean when it is greasy?

Suddenly someone was dissatisfied and shouted: "Shopkeeper, why are our soup cakes so bland, can't we do without your money?"

The spices of this era, that is, the condiments of later generations, are very precious, as you can tell from the names, pepper and flax are actually pepper and sesame.But if you wear a Hu character, it means that the Sui Dynasty did not produce these things, just like the match in the Qing Dynasty and even the Republic of China. It was all imported, so the price would naturally not come down, and it was not something that ordinary people could consume.

Therefore, the taste of this food stall-like roadside stall is actually very bland, and you can't even see the oily flowers. Qin Feng's table is different, which naturally aroused dissatisfaction from others.

The shopkeeper who was cooking the noodles inside didn't raise his head, and said in a bad mood, "The customer brought it by himself. If you are dissatisfied, add some salt."
