Chapter 732 (1/2)

In the long history, Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was already the largest capital city in the world at that time, with a population of over one million.

But after someone appeared in the Tang Dynasty, after nearly 20 years of efforts, especially since the completion of the new outer city, the whole Chang'an city can only be described as magnificent and majestic.

And ”big” is not enough to describe the Big Mac lying on the ground quietly before people's eyes.

According to the concept of a round sky and a round place, the original Chang'an city is square, except for the three gates outside the palace city where the dragon head was located, there are three expansion gates in the East, West and south respectively.

The high and high wall built with bluestone exudes dignity and solemnity. Because of the existence of two flowing rivers in the city, the moat with a width of 20 Zhang forms a rippling living water. In summer, even the fish under the water can be seen clearly.

The new outer city, built in recent years, is in the voice of doubt and opposition. The prince's highness withstood all the pressure from all sides and expanded a new Chang'an city with a length of eight Li in the East, West and south directions of Chang'an city.

The shape of the whole new city is like a fan when you stand in the castle in the air. Taking Zhuque street as the center, it spreads to the East, West and south of Chang'an City, thus forming a huge city with internal and external circles.

The location of the dragon head in the north of Chang'an city is like a fan handle, which can be controlled, opened and closed at will.

Corresponding to the nine gates on the East, West and south sides of the inner city, the main road connecting the new town with the outer city is naturally connected by the nine city gates on the three sides of the city wall, thus forming a trunk road like a fan bone.

The outer city did not set up tall and strong walls like the inner city. Instead, a circular official road was laid at the end of the city, just like a perfectly curved golden line at the top of the fan, surrounding the whole outer city of Chang'an.

In the middle of the nine main roads and at the end of the outer city of Chang'an, eight barracks were set up, which were jointly defended by the emperor's Jin Wu Wei and the crown prince's central army.

Naturally, the three gates on the side of the former imperial city of dragon head still garrisoned the elite soldiers of jinwuwei to guard the safety of the imperial city and the royal family.

As a result, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city.

With Saleh and Sudan getting closer and closer to Chang'an City, their facial expressions are more and more surprised. Even in the end, they have grown up in surprise and face the endless city in front of them. In their minds, they really can't think of any exact words to express the huge things in the distance.

”This Is this the capital of Tang Dynasty? Or is this the existence of a state? ” Sudan (don't worry about names, for the sake of remembering and not being harmonious.) Stuttering, he asked, looking at Saleh, whose face was more gloomy.

”The night moon is right, Chang'an City has undergone earth shaking changes again.” Saleh sighed heavily. When he left Chang'an, Chang'an was not as magnificent and magnificent as it is now.

But now standing in the distant highlands outside Chang'an City, sitting on horseback and looking at the whole city, Saleh's heart is constantly sinking, his expression is more gloomy, and his eyebrows are about to be broken on his forehead.

The buildings in Chang'an, which are dozens of feet high, have sprung up one after another in the inner city of Chang'an before he left for the big food.

And now, the so-called outer city has also stood like a distant view of the tower forest, the eye of the place, everywhere is towering, up to dozens of Zhang pangran buildings.

The whole city of Chang'an, like a tall dense forest, is occupied and attracted people's envious sight when they first arrive in Chang'an.

What surprised them even more was that when their eyes shifted and looked at the direction of the palace in Chang'an City, the tallest building in Chang'an city seemed to have a dazzling glow, which made them unable to look directly at the huge and magnificent building.

”Oh, that's the famous castle in the air in the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty. I've been there several times, but I'm afraid you won't be blessed. As for the dazzling golden light, it's not that the pavilion will automatically emit a myriad of rays. It's because the pavilion, which is so tall and towering into the sky, uses a lot of precious glass. Therefore, under the sun's irradiation, it looks like it emits thousands of rays of sunlight. The literati of Chang'an often use this poem to compose their poems. ” Night moon, like a tour guide, rode on horseback, accompanied by Saleh, and explained with pride.
