PS: two chapters first and four in the evening.
The faint fragrance of tea wafted in the main hall.
Feng Deshui takes a sip of the tea. He looks at Xiao Ming's face, trying to distinguish his reaction.
When the move of capital was mentioned in Chang'an, it was strongly opposed by Empress Zhao and the crown prince. The officials who were bribed by the king of Zhao also moved out of the patriarchal clan law, and the geomantic omen taboo was constantly remonstrated.
But everyone knows that it's just the selfishness of empress Zhao and the prince, because once the capital is moved, the influence of King Zhao on Xiao Wenxuan will be greatly reduced.
"Then where does the father want to move the capital to?" This time Feng Deshui came to talk about this matter, naturally, it was not a simple home chat, but with a trace of exploration of Xiao Ming's attitude.
"Now only bianzhou is the most suitable land for the royal family. Once you move to bianzhou, you will find King Zhao in the west, hulaoguan in the later, King Yong in the north of the Imperial City, King Wei in the southeast of the Imperial City, and your highness in the northeast. Since the Imperial city is safe and sound." Feng De is smiling and seems to be satisfied with the location of Xindu.
This bianzhou is Kaifeng of later generations. In the later Song Dynasty, in Tokyo, Xiao Wenxuan chose this position as the new capital very wisely.
As Feng Deshui said, once the capital is moved successfully, the imperial city can rely on the three Royal vassals and have enough confidence to say no to the vassals of different surnames.
"My father was thoughtful, but bianzhou was a place of geomantic omen." Xiao Ming hesitated and said.
He is calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart has been surging. In modern thinking, the imperial city is an economic circle.
Chang'an is rich, the surrounding counties will also be driven to become rich. If the imperial city is really chosen in bianzhou, his goods will save a lot of transportation costs in the future.
After all, Chang'an is 800 kilometers away from Qingzhou, while bianzhou is only 400 kilometers. It only takes 100 kilometers to get to Yunzhou, the westernmost part of his fiefdom, which is about the same distance as Qingzhou to Jinling City.
The distance between the imperial city and his fiefdom was shortened by half, which meant that the status of his fiefdom suddenly became important.
And because of their own existence, they may also be able to avoid the chaos caused by the change of a certain vassal.
After all, he didn't want to make a mess of his own at home.
Therefore, on the whole, it is not harmful for me to move the capital. On the contrary, I can get the geographical advantage of the imperial city like King Zhao.
"So your highness supports the emperor to move his capital?" Feng Deshui chuckled, "now Chang'an City has become a pot of porridge over the relocation of the capital. If so, your highness should go to the court to express his mind, so as not to blame his Highness for this."
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment. He didn't like to pay attention to the affairs of the court. Feng Deshui said that he wanted to write his last Memorial letter to state that he supported the move of the capital.
He laughed for a while. It turned out that unconsciously, he was not the dispensable king of Qi in Dayu, and he had his own weight in the court of Dayu.
But think about it, he is now no different from a feudal official, in the eyes of Chang'an officials, is also a pivotal figure.
After making trouble for a long time, Feng Deshui reported the good news, but at the same time, he also wrote a letter for himself to support the move of the capital. Now, Feng Deshui should go to the king of Wei.
It's just that what he thought was too simple. Feng Deshui's words immediately surprised him.
"Since your highness supports the move of the capital, I'm afraid he will contribute to the construction of the imperial city." Feng Deshui looks very cunning.
Xiao Ming's face turned white for a moment. It's not a joke to build the imperial city. He said, "Mr. Feng, you don't know about the situation of our king's fiefdom. Now you have the money to build the imperial city."
"Ha ha ha Your highness misunderstood that the imperial court paid for the construction of the imperial city. Your highness will only take advantage of it. How can you suffer losses? " Feng Deshui looks like you know.
Xiao Ming is relieved that Feng Deshui means that he can contract the construction of the imperial city. All these big construction projects are money making businesses.
If so, it's really a good thing. He can't control where Xiao Wenxuan built the Imperial City, but it's a good thing that he can make money.
However, for Xiao Ming, he was more willing to build the Imperial City in Youzhou than bianzhou.
When the emperor guards the country and the king dies, he is more willing to see the coming of a glorious and prosperous age.
But now Youzhou is still in the hands of the barbarians. It's a joke to mention it.
When he finished moving the capital, Feng Deshui suddenly said with a smile: "Your Highness, when I came here, I saw that the Qingzhou City was being overhauled. I also saw many magical roads in the city. I don't know what they are?"
"This is a concrete road." Xiao Ming said. He turned his eyes and said to Feng Deshui, "what does Feng Shilang think of this road?"
"Yes, it's similar to the stone road in Chang'an city. It's very hard, and the rain and snow will not affect walking at all." Feng Deshui pondered that when he entered the city, he took a fancy to this kind of concrete road and liked it very much.
Although the matter of moving the capital is far away, and it will be debated repeatedly for a long time in the court, he might as well show his construction ability in advance.What he lacks now is the accumulation of original capital. The construction of the imperial city is a big project to make money. He has no reason not to compete.
If the capital is moved, it is estimated that the princes will fight for the construction of the imperial city.
"He just saw the surface." Xiao Ming said with a smile, "it's still early now. Why don't you follow me to see something really interesting."
"Is it?" Feng Deshui showed strong interest.
Having said that, they immediately left the palace and went to Qingzhou street. Now one fifth of the roads in Qingzhou City have been laid, and many underground pipelines have been laid.
Xiao Ming leads Feng Deshui not to other places, but to Wei's restaurant.
"Your Highness, are you going to invite the old slave to drink?" At the place, Feng said with a smile.
"No, no, please look here, Mr. Feng." Xiao Ming points to a trench in which a cement pipe is buried.
"What is this?" Feng Deshui was puzzled.
"This is a pipe made of cement. A pipe from Wei's restaurant is connected to the main pipe in front of the door. In the future, customers who enter the main restaurant can directly use the toilet in the restaurant, and even if there is a rainstorm in the city in the future, there will be no ponding." Xiao Ming explained.
Feng Deshui was a little confused. "Isn't this all in the restaurant? You just need a dung bucket. Isn't that unnecessary, your highness? "
"Feng Shilang, the difference is here. With this pipe, there is no need for a dung pail. The guests who enter the main restaurant will live a more comfortable life. Look at the ceramic pipe from upstairs to downstairs. There is a flush toilet in every room of the restaurant."
