I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 587: New Capital Completed
Regarding this national policy.

The main purpose is to stimulate the interest of the children of the Tang Dynasty.

As long as they get started, they will continue even if there is only a little reward.

As for whether you can afford to support it in the future?
That's a joke.

The Tang Dynasty will continue to expand and plunder resources. If it really cannot afford to support itself in the future, that will be Li Zheng's problem and the problem of those lazy people.

"emperor."

"If I give birth to a child, will there be a reward?"

Chu Suiliang asked with a smile.

"Although you are ministers of the court, you are also the people of my Great Tang, so naturally you all have it."

"You can have lots of children."

"I won't stop you." Li Zheng said with a smile.

What the Tang Dynasty lacks now is talent. In addition to screening among the people through the imperial examinations, the training of the descendants of the powerful and wealthy in the court is even more outstanding. The territory of the Tang Dynasty will be extremely vast in the future, and countless talents will be needed.

Let them enslave other races, why not?

of course.

Everyone in the entire Tang Empire who is a descendant of the Yanhuang ethnic group has this opportunity.

Joined the army.

Those who passed the imperial examination.

In the future they can all become successful people.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

"Then we will not be polite." Chu Suiliang laughed loudly.

All the civil and military officials in the court laughed, and it was very lively.

"Kai Qing."

"How is the laying of the train tracks going?"

"I have been away from Chang'an for almost a year. I should have achieved some results, right?"

Li Zheng looked at Kaiji and asked.

This matter must be the top priority for the future of the Tang Dynasty.

"emperor."

"The Ministry of Industry has been fully committed to supervising the construction of the railway tracks over the past year, mobilizing a total of 500,000 laborers, including 300,000 soldiers."

"With Beijing as the center, lay it out to the west, and then lay it out to the south with Beijing as the center."

"Including the main roads, there are a total of five roads under construction now."

"However, after all, this is the first time that our Tang Dynasty has laid these tracks. Each track is hundreds of thousands of miles long, and less than half of the tracks have been laid. We still need more manpower," Kaiji said with some shame.

"people."

"I will assign more to you."

"You are fully responsible for everything regarding track laying."

"You have to remember that when laying tracks, don't just choose wasteland. It's best to go through various cities. This way, we can gradually connect the cities of the Tang Dynasty."

"These five are just the beginning. In the future, these railway tracks will be spread all over the country."

"This will be the key to transporting troops and food for the future of our Tang Dynasty, and it will also be the key to connecting everything."

Li Zheng said to Kaiji with a serious face.

"I understand."

"Now I am following the tracks laid by the emperor. Each track can connect at least ten cities."

"But it's better to lay the tracks in the north. If we lay them in the south, it would be very difficult with the technology the Ministry of Industry currently has."

"After all, the south is mountainous and it is difficult to lay tracks. We need to improve." Kaiji said with shame.

"Just grow gradually. I trust the Ministry of Industry, and I trust you even more."

"When these five tracks are completely completed, I will reward you with two longevity pills." Li Zheng laughed and encouraged Kaiji.

As soon as the three words "longevity pill" came out.

Naturally, this attracted the attention of many ministers in the court.

No one is unfamiliar with the longevity elixir, and the miraculous effects of this elixir have spread throughout the world. However, only a few people have been given the longevity elixir, including the current emperor and Li Daozon. These people are naturally well-known.

If Kaiji is completed, he will be able to grant two longevity pills, which is equivalent to twenty years of life.

Who doesn't want it.

Especially for the powerful.

He would definitely not refuse this longevity elixir. "Your Majesty."

"Regarding the laying of train tracks, I also have a proposal."

Minister Li Jing stood up and said respectfully.

"Tell me about it." Li Zheng waved his hand.

"The railway track is the magic weapon that connects the world of our Great Tang. It requires sufficient manpower and material resources to build, as well as iron. I think we can recruit local laborers and pay them wages wherever the track is built. This will not only help us get more manpower, but also train more craftsmen to build the track, and prepare for the future laying of the empire."

"of course."

"The recruitment of workers for track laying will be led by local government. This will not only speed up construction, but also enable local young and strong people to earn money. It is killing two birds with one stone," Li Jing said excitedly.

Hearing this strategy.

Li Zheng thought about it and realized that this was in line with his construction strategies in his previous life, which was to recruit local people.

"Li Qing's strategy."

"It's settled."

"The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Works should discuss how to implement it."

"Just do it after you've discussed it. There's no need to go through me." Li Zheng said to the three ministers.

"I accept the decree."

The three ministers immediately received the order.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"The Ministry of Industry has another matter to report."

"About the new capital, Beiping."

Kaiji spoke again.

"correct."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten."

"How is the construction of the new capital of Beiping going?" Li Zheng suddenly remembered the matter of the new capital.

Because the conquest of the Shi Khanate had been delayed for so long, the Shi Khanate was not so concerned about the new capital.

"Reporting to the Emperor."

"The new capital has been built."

"The imperial palace and the inner city have all been repaired."

"As long as the emperor issues an order, the Tang Dynasty court can be relocated." Kaiji immediately said.

"it is good."

“The Ministry of Works did a good job on this matter.”

"The new capital is ready."

Li Zheng smiled, very satisfied.

Chang'an is good, but there is no water around it. Beiping is located in the northern border. If the capital is built in Beiping, it will have a deterrent effect on the northern grasslands, and the Tang Dynasty will be able to issue orders better in the future.

This is a great thing.

"emperor."

"The new capital is ready."

"Are we going to prepare to move the Thatched Cottage to the new capital next?" Qin Jiansheng asked respectfully.

"The matter of moving the capital is of great importance, and the same is true for the court in Chang'an. If we move, the whole country will move. It is impossible to move it successfully in one go."

"How about this."

"The six ministries, the general's office, and the Jingzhao Yin's various court authorities will each send an assistant minister to the Beiping official residence to handle government affairs, and gradually transfer government affairs there."

"Except."

"And the Chief Secretary."

"The inner city of the new capital of Beiping has been completed, Zhu Qing."

"You can attract investment in Chang'an, and those shops in the inner city can be rented out." Li Zheng said to Zhu Jun again.

"I accept the decree."

Zhu Jun immediately accepted the order.

Don’t underestimate the shops in the inner city. The closer to the imperial palace, the more valuable every inch of land there is.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty now has experience in opening markets. Five markets have been opened in the inner city of Xindu. The shops there are extremely expensive. Ordinary people may not pay attention to them, but wealthy businessmen will definitely choose them.
