I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Before Liu Tan came here, he had already prepared for the poor infrastructure of Shuofang City.

But at that time, what he imagined was the feeling of the urban-rural fringe in later generations. After all, he grew up in the city and never went to a real poor mountain village.

So at this moment, when he saw the city wall that was half shorter than the Great Wusun's palace wall, the shock in his heart was directly reflected on his face.

This city wall... is a little taller than a person, right?

Use such a city wall to defend against the Huns?It's weird that this can be blocked, right?Maybe the Xiongnu's horses can jump over and resist the Huns if they perform exceptionally well!

Even if the city wall is short, the most important thing is that the city wall is still rammed earth, there is not even a stone, and there are even traces of dry grass in the city wall.

When Liu Tan thought about how he used to laugh at the Great Wusun and despise Jieguo, he felt that this was really a reincarnation. He didn't expect that one day his capital would be worse than others.

Liu Tan took a deep breath, tried to restore his expression to normal, and turned his head to glance at the few people behind him.

Well, very good, except for Jiang Chong, the shock on everyone's face is no less than his.

Come on, let's take a look at the members of the Northern Border Kingdom. The first is Huo Guang, the prime minister of the country. He was the son of an official from birth. Later, he was brought to Chang'an by his elder brother Huo Qubing, and then he was brought by Liu Che. Every day he goes in and out of the palace or at home He has basically never been to the mansion, or even the civilian areas of Chang'an.

Captain Sang Qian, the son of Sang Hongyang, is also of good background.

Li Buyan is a well-known playboy in Chang'an.

Wei Buyi, Wei Qing's second son, was conferred the title of marquis not long after he was born. Although he was cut off later, it is true that he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

There is only one Jiang Chong who really started fighting from the bottom, but even Jiang Chong has never seen a city worse than this.

Huo Guang came back to his senses the fastest, he coughed lightly, and instantly adjusted his expression, Sang Qian and Jiang Chong also returned to their original appearance, even Wei Buyi lowered his head to cover the expression on his face, only Li Buyan The idiot opened his mouth and said, "Can this be the capital?"

Liu Tanbai didn't even glance at him, because at this time the sheriff of Shuofang County had already led people to greet him.

Compared with Liu Tan's team that was in a collective shock, the officials of Shuofang County were all beaming, and they were even more polite and respectful after seeing Liu Tan.

Do you think they are happy because they saw the princes and kings?

Wrong, that's because he was finally able to leave this wretched place!

The Han Dynasty practiced a parallel system of prefectures and states, and the status of the prefects and the prime ministers was the same, and the princes and kings basically regarded the county as the country—Liu Tan was an exception, and the fiefdoms of the princes and kings were also regulated by population. The highest, but the bottom line is still there.

The place Liu Tan chose was vast and sparsely populated, which resulted in him having three counties in his hands, and the resulting population might not be as large as the population of one of Liu Fuling's counties, or even that of the King of Changyi.

Now that Liu Tan has come with his own troops, the sheriff and the officials of the entire county government have to leave to report to Chang'an first. Although the future is uncertain, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than Shuofang, a poor place.

When they saw Liu Tan, they almost burst into tears.

Liu Tan was welcomed into the city by them beaming.

Liu Tan rode on his horse and observed the people all the way, and the people... the people were also watching him.

This is the first prince and king who came here after the founding of the Han Dynasty. When the people of Shuofang City knew that this city was going to become the capital of the country, they all fell into great excitement.

They don't know what the real capital looks like, but it sounds so tall, it must be very good, right?Will their life be better?

And Liu Tan sighed in his heart.

Before, he felt that it was more convenient to go to a place that was not so developed. Because of poverty, there may not be any big gentry in the local area. He didn't have to think about how to eradicate these forces. At that time, he might as well find a way to develop the economy. .

But after arriving here, he found that what was more unacceptable than having a gentry was that the common people were ragged and unkempt.

Even in Wusun, he had never seen such a person. Not one of them was sallow and emaciated, but few of them were strong, and most of them were not young, so he didn't know if the young people had left.

The houses in the city are all low and low, and Liu Tan feels that he can even see the city wall to the north at a glance when he is riding a horse!

It is simply too difficult for such a city to develop.

Liu Tan's group formed a stark contrast with the whole city, such a glamorous appearance was never seen by the people here.

Even the county guard looked at these people with envy in his eyes. The county guard was naturally well-dressed, among other things, the official uniform was issued by the court, at least it could ensure that the officials had clothes to wear.

The sheriff led the way and introduced the situation in the city, but he had nothing to say after he had left for a long time—the overall situation in Shuofang Prefecture was simply too simple, and could be described in three words: backwardness, poverty, and small population.

To extend it further, the land is barren, resources are scarce, and the location is embarrassing.

The sheriff was very worried that Liu Tan would be unhappy, but when he was racking his brains to think of what to say, Liu Tan smiled at him and said, "You put your heart into it."

Seeing that smile, the sheriff was about to faint from happiness. Just when he was about to say something, a piece of sackcloth flew over.

Liu Tan leaned back and raised his hand to catch the piece of sackcloth—well, this was practiced in Chang'an back then.

After he caught it, he found that although the color of the linen was misleading, it was actually quite clean, so he couldn't help but look around in surprise.

At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly said something, Liu Tan was stunned, and suddenly thought of a very serious question: he seemed to be unable to understand the local dialect of Shuofang!

But before he could think about how to get this done, more sackcloth flew over.

These linen cloths were not only aimed at Liu Tan, but also at Huo Guang and the others, but Liu Tan was the most here.

Liu Tanxin said that despite the language barrier, the cheating habits are still the same.

Liu Tan really wanted them not to throw them away. When they were in Chang'an, all they threw were sachets and handkerchiefs, each of which was delicate and clean and had its own fragrance. If they were smashed, they would be smashed.

Here in Shuofang Prefecture...where can there be such a thing?So besides the sackcloth, the things thrown over were some weird things, such as grass, and wooden sticks, oh, that wooden stick might be used as a wooden hairpin, etc.?Why are there still fishing nets?

Fuck, there is also dried meat that doesn't know what?

Liu Tan felt the enthusiasm of the people of Shuofang City. In this place, meat, no matter what kind of meat it is, is extremely precious. Now they are willing to throw the meat out, which shows that they really welcome Liu Tan's arrival.

But... really don't throw it away, this thing can kill people if it catches up with an inch!

Several people behind Liu Tan were beaten, Huo Guang said decisively: "Where are the guards? Maintain order!"

As a vassal king, Liu Tan originally had a quota of guards, but this time he brought five hundred soldiers over. After the five hundred soldiers dispersed, they blocked the enthusiastic people back.

Liu Tan pulled the things off his body and said, "Don't hurt people!"

After finishing speaking, he said something behind him: "It's everyone's wish to find someone to pick up all these things."

If he was in Chang'an, he definitely wouldn't do that, but here... it feels like these people are throwing things like giving gifts. After hesitating, he still asks people to pick them up. If it doesn't work, he can return them.

Those who threw things threw them in a moment of excitement, and they might regret it when they look back.

In the process of ordering, Liu Tan happened to glance at the situation of these people behind him.

Li Buyan and Wei Buyi had better skills, they helped Huo Guang block things, Jiang Chong was also very flexible and avoided a lot by himself.

Sang Qian was a bit miserable, he was beaten up enough, and the most important thing was that the expression on this guy's face was full of bewilderment.

The corners of Liu Tan's mouth twitched, thinking that the crown prince's vision of seeing people is also very good. At this time, Sang Qian should have ordered to maintain order, but it turned out that Huo Guang couldn't bear to give the order. These soldiers listened to Huo Guang, although they couldn't see it for a while Nothing happened, but the rights in Sang Qian's hands were being emptied.

Not to mention that Liu Tan also put Li Buyan and Wei Buyi under his command as captains.

Thinking of this, he arrived at the county mansion in a short while, and thanks to the small town, otherwise, he might have to reduce his staff along the way.

Liu Tan looked at the county mansion, which was not as big as his sleeping palace, and didn't feel any emotion for a while.

After getting off the horse calmly, and following the sheriff in with the people... it was embarrassing.

The county mansion is really too small, not to mention the soldiers brought by Liu Tan, just the servants who followed them filled the county mansion!

At that time, the county guard was saying that a reception banquet had been set up, and he couldn't continue at this time—he had arranged the reception banquet according to the number of officials from the Northern Kingdom, but he was originally from a low family background, so where did he see these princes? The posture of aristocrats?

Everyone is accompanied by at least two people to serve, what a huge team this is.

The smiles on the faces of the sheriff and other local officials disappeared, and they even became a little fearful. They were afraid that they would neglect the King of the Northern Territory and turn back to the King of the Northern Territory to complain to Beijing. They were afraid that they would be cold!

Although it is said that the king of the north was assigned here because he offended His Majesty, don't forget that the king of the north also has a mother who is a queen!

Liu Tan looked around for a week, smiled and said: "It's not early, let's forget about the welcome banquet. Hurry up and hand over the matter, and you should return to Beijing to report on your work quickly. These days, Beijing is selecting officials. catch up.

How many officials in Chang'an City died because of the witchcraft case, and those vacant positions should be filled.

The sheriff and the others didn't expect Liu Tan to be so eloquent. They were moved and wept bitterly while wondering in their hearts. How could a little prince who looks so sweet and gentle offend the emperor so much that he was assigned here?

After Liu Tan gave an order, Huo Guang took people to follow the sheriff and the others to hand over.

Liu Tan took a glance and said: "Sang Qian, the city is crowded, you take people to camp outside the city first, Li Buyan and Wei Buyi will go to help."

Although he intends to make Sangqian empty-handed, but the matter of face must be done.

Sang Qian finally found the backbone, agreed quickly, turned around and led the people away.

As soon as these soldiers left, the entire county mansion became quite empty.

After the people left, Liu Tan took them around the entire county mansion.

Miao Rui and Bi Gao behind both sighed: "Your Highness, this place...how do you want to live?"

Looking at the house, Liu Tan was also worried. It was easy to go from frugal to extravagant and it was difficult to go from extravagant to frugal, but on the surface he still kept calm, stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I came here when I was in the Western Regions, what's wrong with it?" ?”

Miao Rui held back and didn't say anything. When he was in the Western Regions, he knew he would be able to return to Chang'an sooner or later, so he endured it for a while, but now...he wants to live here for a long time.

Although Miao Rui and Bi Gao were worried, they still took people to clean it up, at least...to make the house liveable.

Not long after, Huo Guang came to talk to Liu after the handover.

Liu Tan saw his solemn expression and knew that the situation might not be good, so he took a deep breath and asked, "How is it?"

Huo Guang's smile was slightly bitter: "It's a little troublesome."
