Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 191 The Third Imperial Capital, Liu Bei Determined to Build the City

Qingzhou's military and political discussions have always been reasonable and free-spirited, and they will not be forbidden to raise objections just because of their low position.

therefore.

Even though most of the civil servants were against building the city, Zheng Ping was not offended by it.

Building a city is a huge project.

No new city will be built unless necessary.

Therefore, for more than a thousand years, unless the ancient city is unusable, most of them will be repaired on the original city.

Qingzhou has just ushered in a bumper harvest year, and the common people have started to collect corvee before they can catch their breath, which is extremely detrimental to the stability of Qingzhou.

Seeing that all the civil servants were eloquent and objected, Zhang Fei finally couldn't bear it any longer, and was about to step out immediately, but was stopped by Guan Yu: "Third brother, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Fei said bluntly: "Naturally, I'm speaking for Mr. Xianmou. Second brother, you are also with me."

Guan Yu was helpless: "Third brother, don't do bad things! Do you see that Mr. Xianmou wants me to judge for him?"

"If you speak rashly, it will ruin Mr. Xianmou's plan."

Zhang Fei was taken aback, and looked at Zheng Ping, who was shaking his fan and smiling lightly, but he saw that Zheng Ping had always smiled gently, and would seriously reply to every civil servant who raised rebuttals.

"Really!" Zhang Fei scratched his head: "So many people object, can Mr. Xianmou really convince them?"

Guan Yu squinted Danfeng's eyes: "Listen carefully, Mr. Xianmou has always acted calmly, and today's opposition from the civil servants must have been expected by Mr. Xianmou."

After the last civil servant retreated, Zheng Ping said slowly, "I have listened carefully to your objections and analyzed them carefully just now."

"At its core, there are actually only four words: waste of money and waste of money!"

"But if the people of Qingzhou built the city, they don't feel too hard or too tired, can they still be regarded as laborers?"

The civil servants looked at each other.

Zhang Zhao came out and said, "Don't drive. Since ancient times, when building cities and palaces, the disciples will be dispatched first. If there are not enough disciples, the nearby Li people will be dispatched."

"But even slaves, they are not a capital crime for everyone."

"And often when Tuli, Li, and common people were dispatched to build cities and palaces, those who were weak would die in corvee."

"All kinds of supervisors don't care about the Tuli and Li common people. I don't know how many disciples who have not committed capital crimes and innocent Li common people will die because of this."

"In the old days when Emperor Qin built the Great Wall, he conscripted too much corvee from all over the country, which caused riots. We must investigate!"

"How can the people of Qingzhou who are forced to serve in corvee not feel tired or tired?"

Zheng Ping laughed: "Zibu has already said that he is a citizen of Qingzhou who was forced to serve in corvee."

"But I never said that the construction of Guanggu City was done in the form of conscripting corvée?"

Zhang Zhao was stunned: "If corvee is not collected, can they still take the initiative to build the city?"

Zheng Ping chuckled: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit."

"In the past, the common people of Li and Shu felt that corvée was hard, because not only could they not get benefits from corvée, but they would lose money, food, and even life. There were only disadvantages but no benefits, so they naturally felt that corvée was hard."

"You can participate in the construction of Guanggu City. In addition to providing food and housing, the government will also distribute additional money and food to subsidize the family. Do they still feel that corvee is hard?"

"When spring plowing and autumn harvesting are busy, they are also allowed to return to their hometown and paid for their travel expenses. If there are craftsmen among them, they can also get extra wages. Will these common people flock to them?"

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but opened his mouth wide: "But it will cost a lot of money and food. Where can the government get so much money and food to provide food and shelter, and also distribute extra money and food to these common people of Li who built the city?"

"Throughout the ages, corvée has been free!"

Zheng Ping lightly shook his feather fan: "The corvee is free, but the construction of Guanggu City is paid. Since it is paid, it cannot be called corvee."

"Since it's not corvée, it can't be considered labor."

"Zibu said it would cost a lot of money and food, but which military and political affairs don't cost money and food?"

"However, the construction of Guanggu City is for military purposes, and it is also the key to whether you can use Qingzhou as the base and sweep the world in the future, not for the purpose of building palaces and mansions for enjoyment. This is the same as building water conservancy, and it is a normal consumption of money. .”

"Of course it can't be called hurting money!"

"It doesn't bother people or waste money, so why can't Guanggu City be repaired?"

Spending money to recruit workers is almost useless in a prosperous Song Dynasty.

The more prosperous the time, the more ways to make money. Naturally, not many people are willing to build cities.

People are profit-seeking, and they all hope to make more money in the least labor-intensive way.

Who wants to work hard on the construction site if there are no more choices?
But given the current situation in Qingzhou, it is naturally the easiest way to respond to the government to build the city in a way that allows the common people to earn money and food.

Zhang Zhao couldn't argue, so he looked at Bocao and Hu Zhao: "Hu Bocao, is the money and food in Qingzhou enough to support the construction of Guanggu City?"

Hu Zhao was the only civil servant who did not object to Zheng Ping's proposal. Seeing Zhang Zhao's inquiry, he just said lightly: "Zhang Wenxue, for a major project like the construction of Guanggu City, money and food should be distributed to the common people of Li who built Guanggu City."

"With the current money and food in Qingzhou, it is impossible to pay enough."

Zhang Zhao looked at Zheng Ping again: "Don't drive, although your plan won't waste the people, but Qingzhou doesn't have enough money and food, and you even object to the appointment of Cao Zong."

Before Zheng Ping could answer, Hu Zhao added another sentence: "Zhang Wenxue, you misunderstood. What I'm talking about is the existing money and food in Qingzhou. It's impossible to pay enough. Didn't you object?"

Zhang Zhao was stunned: "You said that the money and food are not enough, do you still want to support?"

Hu Zhaomou smiled: "Of course I have to support it! You people will only ask me for money and food whenever you have an idea, but you just don't think about how to make money and food for the treasury. Give money and food?"

"It's rare that you are willing to help Qingzhou to solve the current situation of money and food embarrassment, but you are clamoring to oppose it. You really don't know the cost of firewood and rice."

"Zhang Wenxue, don't forget, if you hadn't been given your advice, where would you get the money and food to set up the school?"

"I'm still wondering, why do you oppose the construction of Guanggu City? The money and food you used to build the school came from Kang Chenggong's inscription."

Zhang Zhao suddenly felt ashamed: "I, I, I can never abolish public affairs for personal reasons."

Zheng Ping shook his head secretly. Among the civil servants in Qingzhou, many of them were famous officials and great talents. As a result, Hu Zhao remained sober all the time, did not lose himself, and was clear about his position, rational and down-to-earth.

It's not that Liu Hui and others are inferior to Hu Zhao, but that Hu Zhao was originally from the bottom. He also worked as a county magistrate for corrupt officials when he was down and down. He spent most of his time as an official dealing with money, so he naturally knows better. Why do you say that the common people of Li and Shu are hard-working people.

The guards on duty at the gate of the yamen had to give a tip for every word, so how could it be possible for the common people in Lishu not to complain?

Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.

Wanting to build Guanggu City, the scholar-officials gained fame and fortune, but they were reluctant to give money and food to the people of Lishu. How could this not cause conflicts?
Hu Zhao is very sober in his career as a Bocao.

Since the problem of building Guanggu City is only a problem of money and food, open source will do!

As for how to open source?
Hu Zhao won't think too much about it, it's not within his scope of duties.

Since Zheng Ping proposed this plan, there must be open source measures.

As a bocao, he just waits for the money and food to go into the warehouse.

"The construction of Guanggu City cannot be accomplished overnight. It will take half a year or even a year just for site selection and city planning."

"Therefore, we have enough time to prepare money and food for the construction of Guanggu City."

"As for the money and food for the construction of Guanggu City, it doesn't really need too much allocation from the State Shepherd's Office."

"Even Yuan Shu, who has four generations and three lords, was defeated by the envoy. The powerful and insightful people in the world will re-analyze and measure the general trend of the world."

"Whether it is inside Qingzhou or outside Qingzhou, the powerful nobles who have a lot of money and food will consider whether to support the envoy at this time in order to obtain longer-term benefits in the future."

"Guanggu City is not only to build a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack for Qingzhou, but also to give Qingzhou and the gentry tyrants who want to show favor to the emperor an opportunity to exchange benefits."

"This is a treasure-gathering city!"

"You only need to invest a small amount of money and food, and you can gather a treasure city full of money and food."

"The interests involved in a city have never been simply gathering people into the city!"

"In the future, when we welcome the emperor back to the east, welcome the emperor to Guanggu City, and this Guanggu City will become the third imperial capital of the Han Dynasty!"

"And this is the real benefit that the gentry tyrants can get!"

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there will naturally be more opportunities to become an official."

Zheng Ping opened his mouth slowly, revealing the core purpose of building Guanggu City.

Luoyang has been destroyed.

Chang'an is too remote.

No matter how Liu Bei chooses his future path, Luoyang and Chang'an are no longer suitable to be the capitals of the Han Dynasty.

If Liu Bei only wanted to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he had to have a city that could be regarded as the capital of the Han Dynasty, to welcome the emperor to Qingzhou, and teach the emperor how to govern and how to calm the people.

If Liu Bei wants to go to the next level, Qingzhou must also have a city qualified to be the capital!
Only in Qingzhou, which has been in business for many years, can Liu Bei truly take power, instead of having to use the Jiupin Zhongzheng System to balance the interests of all parties to succeed in the Zen position like Cao Pi became emperor.

Liu Bei doesn't think about these long-term things now, and neither do the civil and military people in Qingzhou.

But Zheng Ping had to think about it!

Zheng Ping will do his best to avoid the situation where the Sima family robbed the interests of the three families returning to Jin.

Whether it is the hundreds of thousands of hungry people in Qingzhou, or the Guanggu City to be built, it is all to allow Liu Bei to maintain absolute authority in Qingzhou.

Let the interests of all parties in Qingzhou be tied up with Liu Bei.

For the imperial power and the gentry, loyalty is the most unreliable.

Only when the interests are shared equally can we be united inside and outside.

Only when Liu Bei has taken root in Qingzhou can he use wisdom and force to resolve all dissatisfaction inside and outside Qingzhou.

"Unexpectedly, you want to turn Guanggu City into the third imperial capital of the Han Dynasty?"

"This idea is too crazy, don't worry, is this going to let the envoy welcome the emperor into Qingzhou?"

"If the emperor really moves his capital to Guanggu City, then this city must be repaired. The powerful gentry who know the envoy's idea will also weigh whether the envoy really has the power to welcome the emperor!"

"Even Yuan Shu, the fourth generation and third lord, has been defeated. Who else would not believe in the power of Qingzhou?"

"The envoy is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and it is his duty to welcome the emperor. Who else has this qualification?"

"I'm so excited to think about it! If Shijun really thinks so, many people will donate money and food for the construction of Guanggu City."

"But the emperor is still in Chang'an. Will Guanggu City be built as an imperial capital at this time, will it be overstepping the rules?"

"You are stupid! As long as you don't build palaces and temples, who can say that you are overstepping the rules? After the other buildings in Guanggu City are repaired, it won't be too difficult for you to ask for another imperial decree."

"."

The civil servants discussed in whispers.

The temptation of the third imperial capital, even Zhizhong Liu Hui couldn't help but be tempted.

Who doesn't want to be among the three lords and nine ministers!

If Qingzhou succeeds in welcoming the emperor and becomes the hero who helped the big man, they, the civil and military men of Qingzhou, will be the direct beneficiaries!
Is there anything more beautiful than this in the world, without wasting money and gaining fame and wealth?
Although this process will be very difficult, as long as there is a goal, all the civil and military in Qingzhou want to try hard.

Liu Bei was also shocked by the purpose of building Guanggu City.

"The third imperial capital, the third imperial capital!" Liu Bei murmured, "If Guanggu City really becomes the third imperial capital, I, Liu Bei, will definitely be famous in history!"

After a long time, Liu Bei took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Seeing that both civil and military officials no longer objected, Liu Bei decided: "The construction of Guanggu City is to promote the authority of our great Han. How can we give up because of the temporary lack of money and food?"

"I have made up my mind. I will recruit skilled craftsmen from now on to go to the northwest of Guang County to survey the geography and plan the city."

"Who wants to take on this important task?"

Liu Bei is not Yuan Shao.

If Yuan Shao encountered today's situation, he probably wouldn't be able to make any decisions.

But Liu Bei is different. Liu Bei will weigh the pros and cons, and will also stick to his own opinions.

Therefore, after Liu Bei made this decision, the Qingzhou civil and military did not raise any objections.

Liu Yan swept around and came out and said, "Your Majesty, build Guanggu City, and the officials will do their part!"

Liu Bei nodded secretly.

Liu Yan belongs to the clan, and unlike Liu Hui, Zhang Zhao and others, they have a lot of government affairs to deal with in Qingzhou.

"Wei Shuo, the construction of Guanggu City this time is different from the past. You must remember: don't let the common people of Li suffer."

"I waited to build the city to promote the benevolence and authority of our Han Dynasty, not to imitate Qin's violence and arouse public resentment."

Liu Bei warned carefully.

Liu Yan also had a serious face: "Don't worry, you will live up to your trust!"

Zhang Fei stared blankly at Wen Wu, who was leaning towards one side, and murmured, "Is that agreed? Didn't everyone strongly object to it just now?"

"Your ears are too soft, can't you hold on for a while?"

"I still want to hear it."

Suddenly, Zheng Ping's voice appeared in Zhang Fei's ear: "Yide, what else do you want to hear?"

　Only 80 monthly tickets are left, readers help me to draw a prize!

　　I beg!
