Chapter 416

Qin Huan was shocked by the excitement on the dock just now, but when he came to the city, he found out what the excitement was.

The noise of Hawking in the street almost deafens people's ears. People come and go and are crowded.

In recent years, Qin Huan has been to many big cities. Jinan Kaifeng is not smaller than Wuchang, but the prosperity is far less than Wuchang.

Even Xiangyang, which has been operated for two years, can not be compared with Wuchang. As a thoroughfare of the nine provinces, it really deserves its reputation.

This is just a few months. A little governance will have this effect. If it is well managed and developed for a few years, I'm afraid it will not be much worse than Nanjing.

Compared with the last time, Qin Huan obviously felt a little more energy on people's faces.

Because he had explained in advance, the civil and military officials in the city didn't greet her with great fanfare, and Qin Huan didn't inform Mrs. Li. After walking around the city, he went directly to the king's house of Chu.

When he came to the palace, Qin Huan didn't rush in. Instead, he walked around the palace and found that the huge palace had seriously affected the development of Wuchang City.

In fact, Qin Huan planned to locate the capital of the great Qin State in the three towns of Wuhan in the future, which was his decision after a long time of consideration.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese territory, Henan is undoubtedly the center, and it is more appropriate to set the capital in Kaifeng or Luoyang to facilitate communication.

But if Southeast Asia and Siberia are included, the central hinterland will have to move south to Huguang, and the three towns of Wuhan are undoubtedly the center of Huguang.

There are several advantages of setting the capital here. The first is the developed water transportation, which was very important in ancient times. Even if trains and railways were invented, water transportation still played a huge role.

The capital city is here. You can go directly to the south of the Yangtze River in the East and the land of abundance in the West. The two tributaries, Hanshui and Xiangshui, one south and one north, almost run through the whole of Hunan and Hubei. This unique water transportation condition is difficult to find a second place on earth, not to mention in China.

Qin Huan could not develop industry and Commerce in ancient times without convenient water transportation. Otherwise, the huge transportation cost would be an insurmountable gap.

The second advantage is the development of weapons. If the capital is located in the north, the future Qin State will focus on cavalry, which is beyond personal control.

However, if it was set in the south, we had to focus on the development of firearms to suppress the cavalry in the north. In addition, the rainy south would continue to force the later kings to improve firearms.

The third is to develop sea trade. Although Nanjing is more suitable than Wuchang, the pink land of Nanjing is really not suitable to be a capital. Moreover, it is too close to the sea and is also vulnerable to attack.

The general trend of the world in the next few hundred years is firearms and maritime trade. Since Qin Huan knew that he would naturally focus on these two layout, he planned to build three towns in Wuhan in advance and set the capital here.

As for how to build it, he has figured out that Wuchang on the south bank will be the administrative center and education center, as well as the place where dignitaries live, Hanyang on the west of the Han River will be the commercial center, and Hankou on the East will be the industrial center.

He planned to build the imperial palace near the Yellow Crane Tower as a special place for emperors to live in the future.

Although it is impossible to build a bridge over the Yangtze and Han rivers, he believes that nothing is difficult in the world and he will be able to do it in his lifetime.

"My concubine, welcome the king!"

In the front hall of the palace, King Qin sat lazily on the throne, and hundreds of women knelt below. All these women were noble princesses and princesses, including the two concubines of the eighth king.

"Well, get up. Haven't there been any trouble during my absence?"

Qin Huan nodded, glanced at the princes and princesses, and then asked the two concubines.

All of them lowered their heads with hatred in their eyes, but they were more afraid, but they were obviously much less than a few months ago.

"Back to the king, everything is fine."

The two concubines hurriedly replied that compared with other women in the palace, they were very happy to be afraid of the little king coming back.

"You two stay and the others are scattered!"

Qin Huan waved his hand. He still had a headache for these princesses and princesses. Even one or two of them could be ignored, but dozens or hundreds of them really didn't know how to deal with them.

It's a pity to kill. Keep a warm bed. They don't know which night they kill in bed. This kind of woman who should be careful everywhere can sleep once or twice. It's too stressful to sleep for a long time.

It's not appropriate to enter the church department and give rewards to his subordinates, because most of them have been slept by him, so they can no doubt live and die by themselves, so they can only be kept in captivity temporarily.

In fact, Qin Huan had some regrets. He was hot headed and slept disorderly at that time. Otherwise, he could reward his men. After this lesson, he had decided not to sleep disorderly with women in the future.

Qin Huan was always ashamed of occupying the pit and not taking a shit. After all, these women are different from those widows. These women have a great hatred for him. Apart from sleeping, they have to be careful everywhere. The gains are not worth the losses.

"Have any of these people figured it out and are willing to devote themselves to the king in the future?"

"Back to the king, according to the observation of my concubines, although these women have been honest on the surface in recent months, they hate the king very much in their heart!"

"Yes, your majesty, these women will be a disaster sooner or later."

Both women answered quickly.

Unlike these princesses and princesses, they had no close relatives who died in Qin Huan's hands, so Qin Huan left the palace to two people to take care of and monitor the princesses and princesses.

"Be talkative."

"My concubine, damn it!"

The younger woman was so frightened that she quickly fell on the ground and trembled.

Qin Huan was too lazy to argue with them, so he waved them back. The two women slept with him for a few nights, and their ambition began to expand.

Soon, Mrs. Li hurried over.

"Madam, do you want to live in the palace or in Xiao's house?"

"I'd better live in Xiao's house!" Mrs. Li thought for a moment and said that she was embarrassed. In fact, she wanted to live in the palace with Qin Huan, but she was afraid of being gossip.

"Well, I'll visit Xiao's house with you later." Qin Huan nodded, disappointed.

"Thank you, childe."

Then they talked about the imperial examination. This time, hundreds of wives came with Xiao Xinru. After all, the officials in Wuchang are limited, and they are definitely not enough to hold the imperial examination alone.

Qin Huan's plan is that the imperial examination will be divided into three sessions. Due to the complexity of personnel, the first session is the qualification examination. People with merit can skip and directly participate in the second session.

After all, this privilege should be given, otherwise it will not be conducive to the next unification of the world, not to mention irrelevant. What really matters is the second and third games.

The second is a basic test, which not only tests basic arithmetic, but also some common sense questions. It is mainly aimed at those bookworms who are ignorant of grain. If they pass the test with a full score of 100 or 60, they can participate in the third test.

The third examination was divided into six subjects: arithmetic, law, game theory, agriculture, water conservancy and industry and commerce.

Similarly, with 100 points for each subject, you can be admitted as long as you pass two subjects. One subject must be arithmetic. If you fail in arithmetic, you will not be admitted even if you pass all the other five subjects. The total ranking is based on the total score of six subjects.
