Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

"At the beginning, Taizu wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, but there was no way to do it. The threat from the Liao Kingdom was too great, but now that the Liao Kingdom has been destroyed and the Jurchen is in danger, do we still have to move the capital?" Li Gang asked.

As the head of the hundred officials, Li Gang knew the problems brought about by moving the capital, not to mention the internal shock of the officialdom, the problem of lien, that is, the money spent is probably an astronomical figure. Li Gang naturally knew that the treasury was empty, so he did not want to move the capital, at least not now.

Zhao Ji is not so persuasive, he laughed, "Aiqing only saw Chang'an and Luoyang, but there is one place you didn't mention, that is Yanjing!"

Li Gang's heart moved, he really didn't think about Yanjing. After all, it didn't take long for them to recover. If they wanted to come, it was a place of war, and it was too close to the Jurchen, right? Even if the Jurchen is being defeated, but after all, the Jurchen has not been destroyed. If the Jurchen counterattacks, this will be Too dangerous?

"Kaifeng is a city without danger. Once the enemy crosses the Yellow River, they can attack the city. Heavy troops have been deployed around Kaifeng for a long time to defend. The number of the banned army is as many as one million. The banned army has almost been abolished. rise.

Aiqing should have seen that now Bianliang has become a burden on the country, and the heavy Song Dynasty cannot support it anymore. But Yanjing is different. It is close to the coast, the sea is smooth, and we don't want the northern land?

After General Yue's expedition, many places in the north are now the land of our Song Dynasty, and the distance between Bianliang and Liang is too far.

Throughout history, in almost every war, the northern ethnic groups went south, bringing the entire Central Plains into the flames of war. There will be a large-scale war in hundreds of years. This time we have blocked the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchen. What if a more powerful nation appears next time々"?"

Zhao Ji stood up and took a few steps back and forth, "I want to solve these problems in one fell swoop, strengthen the management of the northern land, and make it always belong to the Great Song Dynasty!"

Infected by Zhao Ji so heroically, Li Gang was also a little excited, and he was about to applaud immediately. But he still said, "This matter is huge, the process is difficult, and I don't know how much it will cost. Does Your Majesty have a calculation? 35

"Haha, every time I act is not a big deal? It's a big deal to unite with the remnants of the Liao Kingdom, it's a big deal to send troops to Yanyun, and it's a big deal to attack the Jurchen, but what about these big things now? What Aiqing needs to do is to appease the officials, and watch Let's see which officials will be taken away and who will be kept in Bianliang..."

Li Gang went back in a trance, it seems that His Majesty's determination has been made. Moreover, Li Gang naturally understands a lot about the situation in Bianliang, and he really should take care of it. The situation of redundant soldiers and redundant officials has not been completely dealt with, and the previous time His Majesty's killer was only partly dealt with. No one can tell how deep the water is in this place.

This news is indeed correct, many people heard that they were going to Yanjing, and immediately shook their heads. In their opinion, only Bianliang is a treasured land of treasures, and Yanjing is the real northern land, cold and desolate, and only exiles go there!

There are also noble families who have inherited it for a hundred years. They are sensitive to the crisis. Although the current generals and nobles have been suppressed by the imperial court, they have lost their former glory, but there are still many people who control the forbidden army, eat empty wages and have various problems, many of which are caused by these nobles.

If His Majesty moves the capital, what will happen to these nobles?

Therefore, many people began to feel uneasy. These nobles and nobles in Bianliang are incredible, and they want to continue to maintain their reputation. Once the capital is moved, everything will be pushed down again. These nobles and nobles in the past will inevitably suffer a great impact!

During the court meeting, the ministers quarreled endlessly on this issue. Zhao Ji sat high on it, and after listening for a while, he announced his withdrawal from the court, and we will discuss it later.

Said to be moving the capital, Zhao Ji did not want to execute it immediately. There are a lot of things that need to be prepared, but you can't go to Yanjing to build a house, right?

Now Zhao Ji is working on it.

The first is urban planning. There are no engineers in this era, but there are also talents who specialize in urban construction. There is no doubt that the Ministry of Work should take a large part of the responsibility, Zhao Ji put things down, and he has to look at the plan.

The Ministry of Industry immediately began to act, on the one hand, on the one hand, on the one hand, on the other hand, looking for famous experts. At the beginning, Li Jie presided over the construction of Kaifeng Mansion and was considered a famous architect. However, Li Jie has passed away, and there is another person who worked with Li Jie at the beginning, that is Ding Tongzhi.

And the Ministry of Industry also issued a reward, who can design qualified drawings, there are many rewards.

Ding Tongzhi is in his fifties. Although he has never presided over the construction of large cities, he has been involved in the construction of some towns and so on. I heard that it was designed to be made by Yanjing, and I immediately got the spirit. Not only did he agree to the invitation of the Ministry of Industry, but he also went north soon to see Yanjing in person to see how to design better.

The Ministry of Industry also sent people to go there with them, and it is a big project to measure anything.

Speaking of the north, Zhong Shidao was getting old after all, and the north was even colder, so he couldn't hold on. And there is no war there for the time being, so please return the seedlings.

Zhao Ji immediately approved it, and it was a bit unkind to let a veteran of more than 80 suffer in the north. Regarding the Northern Expedition Army led by Zhongshidao, Zhao Ji decided to use Wang Yuan, who (Qian Haozhao) was also in the Northern Expedition Army, fought bravely, and also had a strategy. And he is also familiar with the Northern Expedition, which is just right.

It was not difficult to choose a general from the Western Army, but Zhao Ji had to consider the balance. Originally, Chong Shidao was the general of the Western Army. If the Western Army was selected again, the strength of the Western Army would be even stronger. After all, Chong Shidao is old, and when people are old, their ambitions will be much smaller, so Zhao Ji has no scruples about using Chong Shidao. But to activate other generals of the Western Army, then there are some ideas.

In order to meet the old man specially, Zhao Ji sent a steam-engine steamship, which was very fast, and it only took a few days to arrive at Datong Mansion. An old eunuch issued a decree to the teacher, gave a series of gorgeous rhetoric, praised the merits, and gave a lot of rewards. At the same time, he also gave a high evaluation to the Northern Expedition West Route Army, and all generals have been promoted to varying degrees.
