A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 163 Move the capital to Jinling
In order to build a majestic capital city, Huai State conscripted a large amount of manpower. In the next few years, more than [-]% of Huai State's money, grain, taxes and taxes were invested in the construction of Jinling City.

A lot of money was invested in it, and when Jinling City was finally completed, it was much larger than Huai'an.

After the construction of Jinling was completed, Wang Qi did not move the capital immediately. The newly built city was not popular and needed to be moved in first to nourish the population.

After the construction of Jinling was completed, Wang Qi ordered the relocation of 20 households in Huai'an to Jinling to enrich the population of Jinling.Coupled with the tens of thousands of Chu people who were previously resettled in Jinling, the population of Jinling directly reached an astonishing [-].

[Jinling is built, this great city will shine for thousands of years in the future history, countless famous ministers, generals, romantic scholars meet here, deduce the epic history, you get a lot of luck points, you get the floor props [Seven Orifices] Linglong Heart]]

[Earth-level props Qiqiao Linglong Heart: After using it, you can choose one person to get the Qiqiao Linglong Heart. The strategy and internal affairs will be increased to 99 points, but the life span will be reduced by 20 years. 】

When Wang Qi announced the move of the capital, there were many voices of opposition.It's just that the power of the Huai country has always been firmly in the hands of the monarch. As long as the monarch wants to do something, basically he can't stop it.

The vast majority of those who opposed the relocation of the capital were noble families who controlled a lot of power in Huai'an.They have already been bound to Huai'an. Once the capital is moved, the family will immediately decline, and gradually fall from the original wealthy family to the middle and lower classes.

It is difficult for them to accept this situation, but if they move to Nanjing together, they will lose their foundation at the bottom, and their strength will also decline, and everything will have to start again.

But no matter how much these people objected, it was useless.Sun Wu, Fan Li, Wu Zixu, Qing Ji, Wen Zhong, Xu Feng, and Gong Yang's family all agreed to move the capital, and naturally no one could stop them.

Therefore, the migration work began. There were originally 20 people in Huai'an City. This time, Wang Qi migrated half of it, and the rest migrated from around Huai'an City.

Wang Qi's migration was also a selective migration. This time, those who migrated to Jinling were basically wealthy households in the city, while those outside the city were local wealthy families.These people are either rich or powerful, and they used to be under the pressure of the Huai State Office, so these people can be more honest.

If the Huai state moved its capital, without the oppression of the Huai state government, they would soon expand.The government office of the Huai State moved to Jinling, and at the same time the court of the Huai State would also move away. Although Huai'an was no longer the political center, Huai'an was also an important city in the Huai State.

Especially after the upper-level forces leave, there will be a vacuum of power left, and these nobles and wealthy families will immediately start to invade.It won't be long before that time, these noble families will expand rapidly.

Wang Qi would not give them a chance, so all these noble families, rich families and rich families were all moved to Jinling by Wang Qi.

At the same time, Huai'an will not give up. Wang Qi will keep his younger brother in Huai'an and serve as the Huai'an order. Managed city.

Although the Huai State moved the capital away, the foundation of Huai'an is still there. There are canals outside the city, good fields and fertile fields, and a large number of people. Even if it is no longer the capital of the Huai State, it is still an important city in the Huai State.

A large number of people entered Dajiang through the canal, and then came to Jinling.The migration of people continued for two years.By the time Wang Qi moved to Jinling with his office and court, this emerging city had become prosperous.

After the land near Jinling City has been reclaimed, it has been distributed to the people of Chu State according to the previously discussed situation.As for those Qingshi families and rich families, their land is all in the south of Jinling.

These lands have not been developed yet and are in a barren stage. Wang Qi gave them wasteland on purpose.These nobles, wealthy families, some have money and food, how can Wang Qi let them go, naturally he wants to make the best use of them, and use the power of these people to reclaim wasteland.

To the south of Jinling, it was originally the territory of Shu State. After Shu State was defeated by Chu State, it became the territory of Chu State. After the attack on Chu State this time, it became the territory of Huai State.

These lands in Shu Kingdom were not developed much at the beginning, after all, the population of Shu Kingdom was not large, and there was not enough manpower to develop them.

As for the state of Chu, it is even more lazy to come here to open up wasteland. There is a large area of ​​land two thousand miles away in the state of Chu that can be reclaimed, so naturally it would not go so far to reclaim the land.

These wastelands were distributed by Wang Qi to the Qingshi family. In exchange, they could give [-]% more land in Huai'an.Of course, the reclaimed land is not considered to be owned by these nobles, powerful and wealthy households.

After Huai State moved its capital to Jinling, the political and economical areas began to shift from Huai'an to Jinling.A large number of workshops also began to be established in Jinling, and at the same time Huai State began to build on the land seized from Chu State.

This time Huai State seized hundreds of miles of land from Chu State. After Huai State moved its capital to Jinling, under the influence of Jinling, the land here also began to be developed in large quantities.

The relocation of the capital of the Huai Kingdom had a great impact on radiation. Originally, the development of these lands in the Chu Kingdom was not high, but after the capital of the Huai Kingdom was moved, these places were immediately valued.

The most obvious thing is that after Huai State moved its capital, a large number of soldiers were also brought to Jinling, and these soldiers would also be re-granted land.

It is a severe test to move the capital of the country from Huai'an, which has a prosperous economy and developed agriculture, to Jinling.But with the help of Fan Li, Wu Zixu, and Wen Zhong, Wang Qi quickly stabilized the court.

After the court stabilized, with administrative support, the area around Jinling also began to prosper rapidly, and materials from the Huai Kingdom were also continuously transferred to Jinling. The arrival of a large number of materials and population promoted the rapid development of Jinling's economy.

Although it is not as good as Huai'an now, it is still half of what Huai'an was before.And after the capital was moved, Huai State's control over the land east of the Dabie Mountains and west of Jinling increased rapidly.

After the adjustment, Jinling, as the center of Huai country, has made great progress in controlling all parts of Huai country. y In the past, because Huai'an was close to the north, the control over the land of Wuyue was a little weak.Now the land of Wuyue is under the nose of Jinling, and the state's control over the region has been improved by more than one level.

-

The move of the capital of Huai State to Jinling was an important event in the late Spring and Autumn Period, which indicated that Huai State began to focus its strategy on Chu State, and Huai State began to develop westward.This also means that the battles between Huai State and Chu State began to be frequent, and the wars between the various countries began to become more intense. As a result, Chu State began to decline and was eventually annexed by Huai State.

Historians agree that the move of Huai State to Jinling and the division of the three families into Jin were the dividing line between the Spring and Autumn and Warring States. ——"Historical Dating of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties"

PS: It is inappropriate to call the country Huai since the capital has been moved.
