After the design of the Imperial Capital was completed, the next step was to build the city.
Although building a city was easy for Liu Yu, he did not have any artistic talent.
As the capital, the buildings in the city had to match the style of the capital.
Therefore, Liu Yu ordered all the skilled craftsmen in the world to design the new city.
In this era, there weren't any specialized architects or gardeners. Most of them were part-time craftsmen.
However, in this era, a person who could be called a master would definitely be a grandmaster in the future.
After all, craftsmen nowadays were passed down from generation to generation.
Moreover, Liu Yu had ordered them to make the design bigger, more beautiful, and more exquisite.
They didn't need to consider the difficulty of the construction, the construction period, the materials, and so on.
Even if you designed an 80-meter-tall building, Liu Yu could build it through the system.
While these skilled craftsmen were designing the buildings, large amounts of stone and wood began to be transported by water and land to the outside of Beijing.
Soon, it was October. This was the busiest time in ancient times.
Because the autumn harvest had arrived.
This year, the Great Ming Dynasty perished and the Great Han Dynasty rose.
The citizens of the country had gone from being on tenterhooks at the beginning of the year to living and working in peace and contentment now. The change was too fast.
Now that it was the autumn harvest season, the grain production in the Jiangnan area could only be considered average. It might not even be as good as last year.
However, the northern provinces were different. The grain production of the northern provinces alone was enough to ensure the livelihood of the people of the country next year.
The seeds that Liu Yu had forced the people to plant when he first transmigrated were finally being harvested.
"My lord, according to the statistics of the four provinces, the average yield of rice is 800 kg per mu, the average yield of potatoes is 1200 kg per mu, the average yield of corn is 1000 kg, and the average yield of sweet potatoes is 1300 kg.
These grains were enough to ensure that the Han Dynasty would not be short of food next year, and the people would be able to eat their fill every meal.”Li Ji reported excitedly.
Liu Yu was not surprised at all when he looked at the data reported by the various places.
The seeds purchased from the system, coupled with the special attribute of favorable weather, would be strange if the yield per mu was less than 500 kg.
"After the autumn harvest, transport the grain to Datong, Longxi, and Yongping Prefecture. After the country is established, it will be time to destroy the Mongol Empire and Manchu Empire.”Liu Yu said calmly.
"This subordinate understands."
After Li Ji left, Liu Yu looked at the world map hanging on the wall.
This map of the world was drawn during Zheng He's voyage to the West during the Ming Dynasty. Compared to modern maps, it was very abstract.
However, in general, the map of the entire Earth had been drawn.
From the 15th to the 16th century, it was the age of great seafaring in the west. It was also a golden age.
If it was during the Ming Dynasty, they could continue to march towards the sea, relying on the sea map left behind by Zheng He's voyage to the West, and the Ming army at that time.
They had the strength to open up new territories.
Unfortunately, the natives of the treasured ship were burned and most of the sea maps were lost. Liu Yu only found this world map in the palace.
"It doesn't matter if we didn't catch up with the Great Voyage Era. You guys help develop the place first. I'll go and get it later.”
……
After the autumn harvest, there was no shortage of grain in the country.
Taking advantage of the fact that winter had not arrived yet, Liu Yu ordered the entire country to continue building roads. This time, it was not to provide relief, but to hire workers.
After looting the Jiangnan gentry, Liu Yu had printed more than 100 billion Great Han Dragon Essence. He was worried that there was no place to put it.
Now, there were still a few months before the new year. Since the weather was not so cold and the land in the north was not frozen, they had to repair the road first.
In the end, Liu Yu did some calculations and gathered 5 million people to repair the road. Each person's salary was 600 macho dragon dollars.
A month's salary was only 3 billion. According to the calculation of three months, it was only 9 billion to less than 10 billion.
This was not enough. No, he had to continue spending money.
This money was not tax money. If he could not spend it, he could only spend it desperately.
If he recruited another million soldiers, these soldiers would no longer need to be special soldiers. They would just be ordinary city defense soldiers.
Each small city had 1000 soldiers, the bigger cities had 2,000 to 3,000 soldiers, and the prefecture cities had 5,000 to 8,000 soldiers.
Based on the 1000 yuan salary for each soldier, plus food, weapons, equipment, and other expenses such as building military camps in various places, this wave should be able to spend about 20 billion.
At the same time, Liu Yu was also building schools all over the country, opening up wasteland, mining, and constantly recruiting people.
In total, he could spend 50 billion before the new year. As for the remaining money, he really couldn't spend it.
After all, the purchasing power of this era was too strong. In addition, one could not spend money recklessly. This was the only way.
Following Liu Yu's actions, the entire country became busy.
At the same time, the construction of the Imperial Capital began.
