Luo Zhaoyun has been in the Great Sui Dynasty for six years. He has become a sixteen-year-old young man, with a burly figure and extraordinary figure. He is very familiar with the language, customs, writing, etc. of this era.

He felt that he had completely integrated into this ancient society and adapted to the identity of the General of the Sui Dynasty.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui announced the new year name at the first dynasty meeting this year, namely Daye. This year is the first year of Daye.

The meaning of great cause is very obvious, that is, Emperor Yang of Sui is ambitious and wants to do great things, keep himself famous in history, and become a wise emperor who is rare in the ages.

Just halfway through the first lunar month, after the Lantern Festival, Luo Zhaoyun, Yuwen Kai and others had already left, escorting a large number of vehicles and carrying a large number of supplies from the capital to Luoyang.

Most of these materials were allocated from the Ministry of Industry from the treasury, including money, silver, jewelry and cloth, etc., and some materials for building the city were needed.

Although many of the huge rocks, trees, sand, etc. needed are transported free of charge from all over the country and are dispatched by local finance, many of the magnificent materials used to build the palace need to be purchased from merchants, Hu merchants, etc., which requires capital turnover.

Luo Zhaoyun's responsibility is to protect materials and the safety of the city construction site. Whether the responsibility is big or small, after all, Luoyang is in the core of the Central Plains, there are many granaries, military garrisons, etc. Even if there are loud horse thieves, green forest bandits, thieves, etc., they dare not kill to kill near Luoyang, if they fall into the trap.

Therefore, this mission should not be dangerous, but it is an uncertain factor to prevent mutiny and riots from migrant workers.

The team left Hangu Pass, and was in a vast and rushing overnight. They were not in a hurry to travel. It took five days to arrive at the plain at the foot of Mang Mountain.

This is the myth of Luoyang, such as the ancient emperors Ku, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia Yu, etc., which were mostly passed down here. Duke Zhou assisted the government and moved the Nine Tripods to Luoyi. King Ping moved eastward, Emperor Gaozu Duluo, Guangwu Zhongxing, Wei and Jin Xiangchan, Xiaowen Reform, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Later Liang and Tang Dynasties, followed by each other, with a total of thirteen dynasties; Luoyang has been regarded as the "middle of the world" by the ancestors of China since ancient times.

"The Emperor's House of the Lord, Heluo Kingdom", Luoyang has been the center of Chinese politics, economy and culture for a long time in history, and it is also a transportation hub with well-connected roads. The Central Plains culture was so adorable that it flourished here.

Yuwen Kai called Luo Zhaoyun and Yang Da, and the three of them climbed Mount Mang, then looked at the surrounding terrain. Although Emperor Yang of Sui determined an axis to make the symmetry line of the capital, he did not know how to build a city after all, and Yuwen Kai was an expert in this regard.

There is a stream at the foot of Mang Mountain, and the Luo River is winding and winding, facing east and west in front. There are two lush mountains. There are like a natural gateway in the middle of the two mountains. The Yi River flows through the south to north. The gateway was called Yique by the ancients, and later called Longmen by people.

Longmen Mountain is on the west side and Xiangshan is on the east side. The world-famous Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang are concentrated on this mountain, mostly dug by the Northern Wei Dynasty. Xiangshan is not famous at this time because its reputation is because the Kanjingsi Cave was dug here during the Wu Zetian period, and many flying reliefs were carved. It was still preserved in the 21st century and became a famous scenic spot.

After Yuwen Kai and Yang Da finished reading it, they exchanged opinions, but they actually coincided. They were both people who were watching the terrain and knew how to steer the geometry.

Luo Zhaoyun appeared at this time. Yang Da, who was usually reserved and easy-going, was actually very talented. However, he was always low-key and not domineering. He was mostly a good person in the court. He was the Minister of Works for ten years and was involved in the construction of Tailing by Emperor Wen of Sui and his wife. He got along very well with the general manager Yang Su, which was deeply satisfied with Yang Su.

After Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, he transferred Yang Da to Menxia Province as the highest chief, Na Yan, responsible for the review of imperial order documents and was also one of the prime ministers. He was under the jurisdiction of Huangmen and Shizhong, who supervised six directly affiliated institutions, including the City Gate Bureau, Shang Food Bureau, Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau, Fuxi Bureau, Yufu Bureau, and Palace Bureau.

Yang Da said: "Your Majesty said that the scale of this Luoyang City is no longer as large as the standard of the New Chang'an City, and it is only half as long as it reaches."

Yuwen Kai sighed: "Yes, the new Chang'an City has been living for almost twenty years, and there are still many buildings in abandonment. This Luoyang City does not need to be magnificent, but it must be solemn and majestic enough to condense the essence."

Yang Da smiled and said, "Haha, the heroes have the same views, and I also think this way."

Yuwen Kai said again: "However, Your Majesty has instructed you to be frugal and not to be luxurious. In that case, it may be difficult to create any luxurious momentum."

Yang Da smiled on his face and said to himself: That was because His Majesty deliberately gilded and promoted himself as a saint, what is frugality and what is not about luxury? Is that really the emperor's true thought?

"It's better to wait for the Duke of Yue to decide when he arrives. We should plan the city map, measure the length of the city, draw the palace city, imperial city, etc., and do a good job in the early stages. Once the Duke of Yue arrives, he will officially start construction of the city!"

When Yuwen Kai heard this, he also felt that it made sense.

Next, Luo Zhaoyun, in accordance with Yuwen Kai's request, directed thousands of guards of the Wuwei Mansion to paint lines on the ground with lime, and then chiseled wooden stakes to locate them. After several days, he marked the length and width of the palace, imperial city, and outer city walls of Luoyang City.

After the first month of the year, Yang Su brought a group of officials from the palace, Sima, and some officials from the court to form a temporary organization to build a capital, to schedule and perform various construction tasks.

Yuwen Kai and Yang Da expressed the ideas for the construction of Luoyang City and decided it.

Yang Su smiled slightly. He knew Yang Jian, Yang Guang and his son very well. Take Emperor Wen of Sui for example. During his reign, he always advocated frugality. However, in the end, Yang Su was still mainly luxurious and grand, and magnificent. In the end, Emperor Wen of Sui and Dugu Queen were satisfied.

As an emperor, what he said was one thing, but what he thought about was another thing. As a minister, he should know how to meet the emperor's inner needs, rather than just cater to the false remarks he said.

Yang Suyi said righteously: "We are in great and powerful, with a strong country, and peace in the world. The prosperity comes. Barbarians from all over the world come to congratulate you. As for the Dongdu, the scale of construction is only half that of Chang'an City. This is OK, but it must not be too simple. Otherwise, how can the envoys of foreign countries respect me? How can the people of the world realize the power of the capital? Therefore, this Luoyang City must be luxurious and magnificent, and condense it to win with its essence!"

After hearing this, Yuwen Kai and Yang Da knew it well and knew what to do. (To be continued.)
