    In order to build Luoyang City, the eastern capital, Yang Guang ordered that two million strong men be mobilized every month. In order to enrich Luoyang City, Yang Guang ordered tens of thousands of residents from Luozhou City and wealthy merchants from various states to be moved into the eastern capital.  ; Finally, in order to strengthen the defense of Luoyang City, the eastern capital, Yang Guang ordered the Erxiao Road to be abandoned and the Shu Road to be opened.

    In order to increase the legitimacy of the construction of the Eastern Capital and suppress the opposition voices in the DPRK and China, Yang Guang stated in the edict: When King Liang of the deposed Han Dynasty raised troops, Shandong prefectures and counties fell for a time. The fundamental reason was that "the Guanhe River was far away and the soldiers did not go to the emergency.  ".  Also known as "the new dynasty is established, the south is conquered by Yayuan (referring to the hometown of the Chen Dynasty), and the Eastern Xia Yin Dynasty (referring to the hometown of the Northern Qi Dynasty)". We must identify the right opportunity and adopt methods to control it.  This was a good opportunity, so Yang Guang came to Luoyang in person.

    Yang Guang¡¯s statement fundamentally solved the etiquette problem of living in Luoyang.  The emperor was supposed to live in the capital permanently and not leave lightly, but now Yang Guang lives in Luoyang for the sake of world stability in order to control Guandong and Jiangnan.  The emperor took great pains in this matter, so what else could the courtiers say?

    At this point, no one inside or outside the government opposed the construction of the Eastern Capital.

    However, just because no one objects to the construction of the Eastern Capital does not mean that the matter is completely settled. Being able to build a city is one thing, and being able to build a good city is another.  Therefore, Yang Guang appointed Huang Mingyuan as the supervisor of the construction of the Eastern Capital, more to escort the construction of the city.

    Although Huang Mingyuan was the chief inspector of the construction of Dongdu, in fact, the construction of the entire project mainly relied on the deputy chief craftsman Yu Wenkai.  Yu Wenkai was the son of Yu Wengui, the Great Situ of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was the greatest expert in urban planning and construction engineering of this era. It was Yu Wenkai who designed and constructed Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty.

    Huang Mingyuan is not a person who is greedy for power or holds back power. Therefore, based on the principle of "specialization in the profession," Huang Mingyuan basically hands over his power to Yu Wenkai and allows him to specialize on his own.  As for the other deputy supervisor, Nayan Yangda, he was a low-key and cautious person. He also knew that he was a figure in the emperor's eyes, so he would never interfere in the construction of the Eastern Capital.

    Yu Wenkai had experience in building Daxing City, and with sufficient rights, he quickly put the construction of Luoyang City, the eastern capital, on track.

    However, the construction period given by Yang Guang to Huang Mingyuan was only one year, which made the construction of the entire Dongdu extremely tense.  In fact, the original Daxing City, the palace city and the imperial city alone took a whole year, which is still very fast in the eyes of the world, and is a miracle. As for the actual construction of the Outer City, it has to be done intermittently.  It was only completed in the ninth year of Daye.  It also took Yu Wenkai twenty-five months to complete the construction of Renshou Palace, another iconic building of the Sui Dynasty.  Now that such a large eastern capital, Luoyang, should be completed within one year, it is simply a dream.

    And Yu Wenkai "guessed that the emperor's heart was grand and extravagant," so he designed Tokyo to be extremely luxurious and magnificent.  This further increases the overall project volume.

    Yu Wenkai is also a ruthless person. He knows that if the construction is carried out step by step, it is impossible to complete the project as scheduled. Therefore, in order to meet the construction deadline, he is ruthless and uses his life to fill the vacancy of time.

    During the construction process, two million people worked every month, including 700,000 people who built the palace city (Ziweicheng), more than 100,000 people who built palace walls and courtyards, more than 800,000 earth workers, carpenters, bricklayers,  There are more than 100,000 metalworkers and stoneworkers.  Yu Wenkai appointed a large number of supervisors and supervisors to drive the laborers to work day and night. Their urgency was like wolves and tigers, and they did not give the servants a little way to survive.

    "In just one month, tens of thousands of people have died on the construction site due to heavy labor, and corpse trucks are facing each other on the road.

    Although Huang Mingyuan delegated power to Yu Wenkai, he did not ignore the construction matters. Seeing that the casualties of the slaves exceeded imagination, Huang Mingyuan could no longer sit still.  If this continues, many people will die in the entire East, and his reputation will be ruined.

    Huang Mingyuan could not let Yu Wenkai act recklessly again, so he directly suspended Yu Wenkai's authority and only made him responsible for construction and design.

    For Huang Mingyuan¡¯s strength, Yu Wenkai had no right to refuse.

    After regaining power, Huang Mingyuan immediately transferred the military medical battalion affiliated to Zuo Wuwei to the Dongdu construction site to carry out health rectification to ensure that there would be no large-scale epidemics among millions of people.

    Zuowuwei's military medical camp was an institution built by Huang Mingyuan after the military medical camp in Fengzhou. It became famous during the suppression of the rebellion of Yang Liang, the deposed king of Han Dynasty.  At that time, the counterinsurgency was urgent, and Huang Mingyuan had no time to control the sanitation and treatment of the wounded in various armies, so he used Zuowuwei's military medical battalion to take charge of the sanitation and medical work in the army.  Unexpectedly, the effect was so great that the entire military medical battalion saved the lives of thousands of soldiers and successfully triggered health reforms in the Forbidden Army.

    In this desperate situation, Huang Mingyuan prepared to ask the Zuowuwei Military Medical Battalion to ensure the medical treatment of the entire project.

    The arrival of the military medical battalion is very important for the treatment and treatment of servicemen.Self-cultivation has a great effect, but it cannot relieve the heavy labor burden of these slaves and cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

    Huang Mingyuan recruited the managers of various projects and ordered them to restrain the ministries, reduce the workload of the laborers, and not to treat human lives lightly.

    Hearing Huang Mingyuan¡¯s reprimand, everyone was helpless and looked aggrieved.  No one wants to overdo the labor, but there is nothing they can do if they really can't get the job done.  The same is true for the supervisors and subordinates at all levels below. If they don't push hard, they can't complete the progress on time. In order not to lose their own heads, everyone has to not take other people's lives seriously.

    It¡¯s still the damn construction period that¡¯s to blame.

    If you want to cure the root cause, you must design the construction period within a reasonable time.  Huang Mingyuan went to the palace to ask Yang Guang if he could extend the construction period of Luoyang City, the eastern capital, but Yang Guang refused.

    ¡°That is to say, this person is Huang Mingyuan. If it had been anyone else, he would have been dismissed by Yang Guang.

    Yang Guang made a calculation for Huang Mingyuan. In recent years, the water conservancy facilities of Zhengguo Canal and Bai Canal, which are the lifeblood of agriculture in Guanzhong, have been in disrepair. Due to the undercutting of the river bed, the irrigation area has been reduced by three-quarters, and in severe cases, even reduced by nine-tenths.  Compared with the Han Dynasty, the farmland in Guanzhong decreased by 38,900 hectares, while the population increased by hundreds of thousands.  Its food also needs to supply the entire Guanbei, Hexi, and Longyou regions. Therefore, the food supply of Chang'an in Guanzhong has encountered serious difficulties in recent years. In fact, the collapse of the entire Guanzhong is in sight.  Originally, the southeastern grain could be transported to Luoyang, but to transport it to Chang'an, it had to be transported by land to bypass the three natural barriers. The transportation of grain was limited, time-consuming, and the gain outweighed the loss.  In the 14th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign (594), there was a severe drought in Guanzhong and people were hungry. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty had no choice but to personally "lead his household registration to eat in Luoyang" and "order the people to eat, and he was allowed to sell rations from the official position, not to his official position."  "Within the limit", he became a veritable "Emperor Chasing Grain".

    The emperor said so truthfully, how could Huang Mingyuan refuse? He couldn't tell Yang Guang that building a city was easy, but you have too many damn palaces, pavilions, and gardens. Can you build less?

    Yang Guang really has no hope here, so Huang Mingyuan can only find a way on his own.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
