Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 841

"Father, if the capital is moved to Xianyang, where will Jinling go?"

Prince Heng asked suspiciously: "Father is planning to make Jinling the same as Ying, the accompanying capital?"

"good."

Qing Ji slightly nodded and said: "From now on, my country of Wu will implement the 'Three Capitals System'. Wu has three capitals, which are Jinling, the eastern capital, Ying, the central capital, and Xianyang, the western capital."

"In terms of form, the place where the monarch resides and resides is the capital of the country."

In Qingji's mind, if the state of Wu wiped out all the other states and unified the world in the future, it would be possible to choose five capitals, east, west, south, north, and central.

At that time, there is no doubt that the central capital must be Luoyang, and Ying will be set as the "Southern Capital" because of its geographical location.

As for the northern capital, Qingji may be more inclined to Handan, Jinyang, or Ji in Yandi.

Of course, this is a very long-term thing, but Qingji has long planned.

In Qingji's mind, Xianyang will be the main capital of Wu State in the future.

As for the eastern capital, Jinling, although it is a companion capital, it belongs to the birthplace of Wu State, the land of Longxing, and Qingji also attaches great importance to it.

The mausoleum belonging to Qingji was built in Zijin Mountain in Jinling long ago, and it took more than ten years to build it. How could Qingji spend so much time building another mausoleum in Xianyang?
Jinling is the place where Qing Ji retired.

When Qingji felt that his life was not long, he might choose to abdicate the king to Prince Heng, and then go to Jinling to spend his old age peacefully...

Even if Qingji died suddenly like Qin Shihuang, if he died forever, his body could be sent to Jinling for burial.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly."

Fan Li, the imperial historian, frowned and said, "Moving the capital rashly may not be a good omen, and it will not be an easy task."

"Xianyang, the new capital chosen by the king, can be regarded as the foundation of the king's hegemony, and its shape is better than that of the world."

"However, since Jinling is thousands of miles away from Xianyang, the high officials and dignitaries in the court may not be willing to move with them and settle in Yongzhou, a place they are not familiar with."

"Furthermore, the former capitals of the Zhou family, Feng and Hao, were burned down by the dog army in the past, and they became ruins, with bricks and rubble, or they no longer exist."

"Your Majesty needs to build a proud capital city from scratch, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and wastes people's money. It is really not conducive to the restoration of people's livelihood in our country of Wu, and it is very likely that the treasury will be dragged down..."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

What Fan Li said is not without reason.

Relocating the capital is not a trivial matter, and there are countless interests involved.

In Qingji's view, wasting people and money is the second priority.

The most important thing is that the ministers of the old family of Wu are reluctant to leave their hometown and go to settle in Xianyang.

In the past, Qingji moved the capital of Wu State from Wudu to Jinling. Because the distance between the two places is not far, Jinling is regarded as the hinterland of Wu State, so it did not encounter too strong opposition from the people of the country.

However, Xianyang is different.

Furthermore, now that the state of Wu wants to pursue the national policy of recuperating and recuperating, moving the capital suddenly may lead to unnecessary expenses, which is not conducive to the people's livelihood.

"The matter of moving the capital to Xianyang will not be rushed, nor will it be a temporary achievement."

Qing Ji said with a faint smile, "I plan to issue a royal decree and formally move the capital after three to five years."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the ministers agreed.

It is indeed crucial to have a buffer period for moving the capital.

"Wu Heng."

"My son is here!"

"You set off tomorrow for Chang'an County. Together with Wu Hong, you will be responsible for the construction of the new capital. You can discuss the planning plans of the capital, market, and palace with Bo Tong, Gan Jiang, Wen Zhong, and others. After surveying, report it Yu widow."

Qing Ji said slowly: "You have to do some on-the-spot investigation and make a rigorous plan."

"In the early stage, [-] Kunlun slaves were invested in labor, and then increased by [-] year by year. The required stone and wood may be collected from Nanshan (Qinling), and the required craftsmen, tools, and wages can all be transferred from Wu County."

"My son, obey the king's order!"

Prince Heng immediately agreed.

It's a big thing.

This new capital, Xianyang, is bound to become a glorious city, a bustling metropolis that shines through the past and present.

Therefore, the planning of Xianyang City has become a top priority.

Fortunately, Wu State belongs to the "infrastructure maniac" of this era. The engineering college of Jixia Academy has cultivated many outstanding craftsmen and masters over the years.

With the concerted efforts of these craftsmen, and hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves working hard, are you afraid that Xianyang City and the majestic Xianyang Palace will not rise from the ground?

"Mr. Wu."

"Chen is here!"

"Your [-] iron cavalry will be formed in Yongcheng. Buy war horses from Xirong as much as possible, gather Rongdi, and be responsible for training cavalry."

Qing Ji said meaningfully: "Although Xirong is not our Wu country's opponent, they are not useless. At least they are people who grew up on horseback. They are good at riding and shooting, which is what our Wu country's iron cavalry needs to learn from."

"promise!"

Wu Zixu took the order immediately.

Qing Ji put his eyes on Zhi Su Nei Shi Zeng Dian again, and said, "Zeng Dian."

"Chen is here!"

"You are in charge of establishing a commercial market in the northwestern border, so that merchants can 'trade' with Xirong, set prices, and exchange silk, tea, salt, cloth, corn, rice, etc. for cattle, sheep, horses, furs, etc. on the grassland. things. Remember, everything must be based on the interests of Wu.”

"promise!"

Feeling deeply responsible for Wen Zhong, I immediately agreed.

In the mutual trade with the eight countries of Xirong, it is Wu who takes advantage.

Because the cloth, salt, and food in Wu Guo's hands are all necessities of life.

The cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock in Xirong can be fully utilized by the state of Wu.

Bad horses can be used to pull carts, and good horses can be used as war horses.

Cattle can be used as farm cattle.

Even if Wu Guo sells it, the people can make a lot of money.

"One more thing."

Qingji squinted his eyes and said, "It is strictly forbidden to sell military supplies such as weapons, armor, bows and crossbows to Xirong. They are the same as copper and iron. If anyone is found daring to sell weapons to Xirong, he will be punished as treason for one piece of iron. !"

"Sir, obey the king's orders!"

On this matter, Qingji's attitude is very firm.

In the past, the state of Wu also sold a lot of weapons and equipment to the eight countries of Xirong in order to obtain a large number of cattle, sheep and horses.

However, that was just Qingji's intention to make Qin State be restrained by Xirong, making it difficult to develop.

Now that the state of Qin has perished, Qingji plans to move the capital to Xianyang, making Guanzhong the base of the state of Wu in the future.

That being the case, how could it be possible for Qingji to keep hidden dangers like the Xirong Eight Kingdoms?
One day, Qingji will send his troops to the west to conquer Yiqu, Mianzhu, Wushi and other surviving Rongdi kingdoms, one by one.

After resolving these matters, Qingji planned to leave for the State of Lu to hold an alliance of princes.

After the melee of the princes last year, the world has ushered in a new pattern.

However, Wu State is still the overlord, and Qingji, as Fang Bo, acts as king on behalf of the emperor. Since he wants to create a relatively peaceful external environment for Wu State, it is inevitable that the Central Plains countries need to be more peaceful.

The most direct way is to hold a meeting of princes in Qingji, recognize the fixed territories of various countries, and resolve various disputes between princes.
