In August, the meeting hall.

At the time of the court meeting, the sky in Chengdu in summer was relatively bright, with a cool breeze blowing by, and the red flag on the palace fluttered in the wind.

The ministers of the Han Dynasty have stepped out of Zhuge Liang's shadow, chatting with each other about government affairs or interesting things, especially about the hidden population problem that has recently occurred in the local area.

However, Guan Xing did not participate in it. He closed his eyes and rested his mind, thinking about the memorial about moving the capital in his mind.

The matter of moving the capital has been mentioned from time to time since the Han Dynasty conquered Chang'an in Guanzhong.At that time, His Majesty also ordered Lu Zhi to investigate whether Chang'an could become the capital and whether another new city would be built.Lu Zhi Shangshu believed that the water quality in Chang'an City was not good, the city was old and in disrepair, and the palaces were mostly collapsed, so it is better to build a new city.

At that time, it was considered that the cost of building another new city was too high, and Tongguan had not yet been built, Hedong had not yet settled down, and Chang'an had no barriers, so the issue of moving the capital was postponed.

However, with the conquest of Tongguan, Jingzhou also fell into the hands of the great Han, and the issue of moving the capital was once again discussed in the imperial court. However, due to the Eastern Expedition of Sun Wu, the proposal of moving the capital was postponed again.

Before the death of Zhuge Liang, Duke of Zhongwu, the most important thing in his heart was that he had not seen the great Han move his capital to Chang'an.Before he died, he advised Liu Chan that the world is divided into two, Han and Wei are facing each other, and they live in Bashu, and it is difficult to unify the Central Plains. Chang'an should be rebuilt and the palace repaired at the right time.

Liu Chan was also quite moved by the proposal to move the capital.As the territory of the Han Dynasty gradually expanded, Chengdu, as the capital, could no longer meet the needs of the Han Dynasty.However, due to Zhuge Liang's death, the adjustment center and the idea of ​​moving the capital were put behind Liu Chan for the time being.

Now about nine or ten months have passed since Zhuge Liang's death, the court situation has gradually stabilized, and the inspection places of various departments have also taken shape. Maybe it will be time to call it a day.

In this context, Liu Chan once again had the idea of ​​moving the capital, and signaled Guan Xing to let him propose it at the court.

"Boom!"

Then, the signal for the court meeting sounded, Guan Xing stopped thinking in his mind, straightened his clothes with everyone, took off his shoes and socks, and walked into the hall.

In the hall, Liu Chan was dressed in a crown suit and had already taken his seat. He watched the people under the steps complete the court ceremony, so he let them be excused.

After the ceremony was over, Fei Yi held a wat board and went out to report: "Your Majesty, Jiang Weishang, General of Zhenbei, invites troops to attack Wei. He wants to send troops out of Pingyang County, and cuts off Hedong County."

Pingyang County is a county separated from Linfen, Pingyang, Pishi and other counties in the north of Hedong County. It is the two counties of Pingyang and Hedong.

Cao Shuang thought of the necessity of centralization, so he separated Hedong County from Pingyang County.Let Hedong County defend Guanzhong and Pingyang County against the Shuofang Army of the Han Dynasty.

With that said, Fei Yi presented the memorial that Jiang Wei had asked him to forward.

Jiang Wei stated in the memorandum that he was familiar with the terrain of Luliang Mountain and had contacts with Zhuhu, so he asked to send troops again to conquer Pingyang.

Liu Chan took the memorial and looked at it carefully, feeling a headache.Last year, troops were sent to conquer Pingyang, as a way to contain Chen Tai's troops.I still want to fight this year. Now the big man is in a stage of recuperation. With his strength, it is difficult to fight against Cao Wei. If he wants to make a contribution, he basically needs Wei Yan to send troops from Guanzhong.

Judging from Liu Chan's current military strategy level, there is no good opportunity, and most of them returned without success.And once the army is mobilized, how difficult it is for a big man to recuperate!

You can't use troops indiscriminately, and you need to stop them. Liu Chan put down the memorial and said calmly: "Jiang Shuofang's words to send troops are so difficult to accomplish. Let him farm in Shuofang and be self-sufficient in food and grass. Unless there is an order from the central government, he must not send troops."

"promise!"

After a pause, Liu Chan issued an edict and said: "I have ordered Wei Yan, Wang Ping, Deng Ai, and Jiang Wei. The current state affairs are difficult and the treasury is empty. It is difficult to provide local soldiers. Those who can farm in the governor's area should support themselves. Self-sufficiency is the top priority, and treasury expenditure is the supplement, but the sergeant's drills cannot be abandoned!"

No way, in order to reduce expenditure, Liu Chan must find a way to save food and grass for the subsequent Northern Expedition.Letting soldiers garrison the fields is also the last resort of the Han Dynasty. The combat effectiveness of the sergeants garrisoning the fields for a long time will inevitably weaken, but in the short term and under the supervision of the generals, the impact will be small.

"promise!"

Seeing that everything was over, Guan Xing held a wat board, went out and said, "My minister, Guan Xing, has something to say."

"allow!"

"I have ruled Ding Ding and Bashu for twenty years. The northwest has been leveled, and Guanzhong has been recovered. The time will come, and the celebration of rest and prosperity will be obvious. However, my dynasty is located in the southwest, so it is difficult to say that it is orthodox, and it is also difficult to rule the world. Today and the old capital Restoration, Li Shu rejoiced for it, Fu Wei's majesty entrusted the universe and nature.... Sincerely, it is better to plan the temple from afar, save the classics, restore the old capital, and manage Huaxia in the frontier..."

Guan Xing looked at the prompt behind the wat board, and eloquently stated the memorial with more than a thousand words.

"From the beginning of the Husband and Han Dynasty, the heart of Xuansheng's house was painted as Kyushu, made into Jiufu, and the summers in the Guizhong area... cut off the thorns and drove away all the wolves. Since the chaos in the world, those who spread the flow of Bashu, please move north. , to use the real Guanzhong, capitalize on its old business, turn against its land and space, persuade farming and mulberry work, and make the most of the benefits of the three seasons... Now that this matter is done, this work is done, your majesty's honor should be like Guangwu, I hope your majesty will take pity on the subjects of the old capital, So come here."

After finishing speaking, Guan Xing kowtowed on his knees to show his sincerity.

Liu Chan flipped through his memorials and asked, "What do you think of the idea of ​​moving the capital?"

Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly, he cupped his hands and came out, and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Chang'an was the place where the Han Dynasty prospered. If we can move to Chang'an, it will be easier for us to rule the world, and it will also show that the Han Dynasty is the orthodox country of the world. "

Du Qiong, who is from Shu County, didn't want to rush too much. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there is a land in the middle of Shu in Chengdu. There are thousands of miles of fertile fields, many household registrations, and many soldiers come from here. However, the east of the river is not calm, and if the soldiers cross the river, they will point directly at Chang'an. Fear that the government and the public will shake overnight."

Hearing this, Fei Yi went out to retort: ​​"Although Chengdu has this advantage, it is located in the southwest, and it is inconvenient for the army to travel through the Shu Road in the Northern Expedition. Is it beneficial to national affairs?"

"In Guanzhong, there are four fortresses, Weihan on the left, and Longshu on the right. The rivers and canals built by Duke Wu of Zhongwu nourish the farmland and fertilize thousands of miles. Bashu is in the south of Guanzhong, and the food from Bashu can be brought out, and the soldiers from Bashu can be sent out of the Central Plains. Shuohu is in the north of Guanzhong, and your majesty lives in Chang'an, so you can deter the Hu people and use the troops of the Hu tribe to conquer Wei in the east."

"Its power is blocked on three sides, and Tongguan has a thousand people enough to retreat ten thousand people. Only the east side can deploy a large army to control the bandits. Besides, my big man lives in the pass and competes with the bandits for the east. The east of the river is trembling day and night, and it will not be far to enter our Han territory."

"However, Guanzhong is exhausted, the population is not strong, and it is inconvenient to move too much. Chang'an is difficult to live in, and the palace is abandoned. If we move it now, we, the Han, need to build a big city and rebuild the palace. Now the people's livelihood is not good. If the people are asked to repair it, it may hurt farmers. , It also makes the people tired, I hope Your Majesty will do it carefully." Du Qiong said.

Qiao Zhou was about to go out and refute Du Qiong, but was interrupted by Liu Chan's voice.

Liu Chan looked at the ministers through Mianyan, and said in a deep voice: "Everything you say is reasonable, and I have thought about it. As Du Qing said, Guanzhong is exhausted, so moving the capital is not a matter of overnight, and needs to be discussed. Today Let Jing Zhaoyin and Yang Xi delve into the inside story of Chang'an, and move the capital slowly."

As he spoke, Liu Chan commanded, "Where is Guan Xing!"

"Chen is here!"

"I ordered you to go north to Chang'an to discuss with Yang Xi about moving the capital. If there are any deficiencies, report them one by one, and the center will investigate further."

"promise!"
