Chapter 70 Moving the Capital

On the first day of the new year in the coming year, the emperor will ask Qin Tianjian to watch the stars for divination, saying that there is an auspicious sign in the sky, and the Ziwei star will descend to the earth, and the landing position will be just above Yanjing.

Sanniang once said to Su Yue that in astrology, the Ziwei star symbolizes the ninety-five supreme emperors, and the Ziwei star landed on the top of Yanjing, which means that Yanjing is the place where the dragon energy gathers.In the early years, the emperor was named the son of Yan, and the fief was in Yanjing, which was his birthplace. Since the emperor usurped the throne, he had conspired to move the imperial capital to Yanjing. Just build a palace.

People in the world just laughed when they heard that, no emperor has many palaces.

"In the future, the imperial capital will be moved from Nandu to Yanjing, the honorable families of Nandu, ministers of civil and military affairs will move there, and businessmen from all over the country will also flock there. By then, Yanjing will not be as depressed as it is now. "Su Yue said calmly.

Mr. Huang's head is buzzing, and his mind is full of the matter of moving the capital. His family is a Shanxi merchant, and Shanxi is not far from Yanjing, and he does business in Yanjing. Moving the capital is a big deal for him.

Today's Yanjing, without the protection of Prince Yan, is no longer as prosperous as it was before. Yanjing's honorable family and royal family moved to Nandu with Prince Yan (the current emperor), and the businessmen who ran them left and went bankrupt. Bankruptcy, a sharp decrease in population, and gradual decline and decadence.

The emperor will move from the southern capital to Yanjing, and Yanjing will come back to life.

At some point in the tea shed, four passers-by walked in and moved the capital. This was the most important event in the world, and it was far more attractive than Qiu Wei. Qiu Wei was once every three years, and moving the capital was rare in history for hundreds or thousands of years.

"Do you really want to move the capital?"

"Moving to Yanjing, that's too far away."

"It's better not to move, it's so troublesome to move here and there, the South is so nice, and it's so close to us."

……

People in the tea shed were talking and whispering like a few mosquitoes.

"Brother Wu Tong, Brother Dachun, even though autumn is coming, what's the point of being bored in the house and studying hard? It's better to go out to visit the mountains and rivers and make some friends." Tang Mengzhou, Wu Tong, Wu Dachun Three scholars came hand in hand.

The person who spoke was Tang Mengzhou, and he pulled him with confidence. The three of them had known each other not long ago, and they were like friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years. The debate in the tea shed yesterday was so hearty that it made people feel happy. The next day, the tea shed Not long after the door opened, the three of them came again.

Wu Tong smiled modestly and said, "It's not that there is a saying that you can sharpen your guns before the battle, and you will be happy if you are unhappy. We are not as good as Brother Meng Zhou. We have already won the victory if we are confident."

Wu Dachun followed without saying a word, and entered the tea shed.

The three of them hadn't found a stool to sit down when they heard the people inside talking about moving the capital.

"Brother Mengzhou, do you think the capital will be moved or not?" Wu Tong said with a smile and asked someone to sit on the stool.

Tang Mengzhou thought about it seriously, "The emperor will move, not just moving."

"Oh."

The others stopped one after another, focusing their eyes on this elegant and elegant scholar, to see what the scholar had to say.

"Emperor Taizu led the army from the north to the south, fought all the way to Jinling, defeated the remnants of the previous dynasty, and established himself as the king. Jinling is a blessed place, so Emperor Taizu set the capital in Jinling. There is the Yangtze River in the south of Jinling. There is a natural barrier of Zijin Mountain in the north, which is the place where the crouching tiger hides the dragon and where the dragon energy gathers. Why do you want to move to such a good place with such a good feng shui? I am not afraid that people in the world will laugh at it. It is against the emperor Taizu. Emperor's will."

After hearing this, the people began to discuss again.

"Yes, yes, Nandu was appointed by Emperor Taizu."

"The dragon bodies of the Taizu Emperor and the previous emperors are buried under Zijin Mountain. Now that the emperor wants to move the capital, isn't he afraid of being scolded by the world?"

Under the tea shed, there were a few scholars who wanted to enter the city and came to ask for a bowl of herbal tea. Pedestrians on the avenue, seeing a crowd gathered in the tea shed, couldn't hold back their inner curiosity, and came to watch the excitement.

Watching the excitement, there are never too many people.

But Wu Tong shook his head disapprovingly, "This emperor will move, and he must move."

"what?"

This is a bit of a naysayer, and the small tea shed suddenly smelled of gunpowder, and everyone's eyes turned to the scholar who had just spoken.

"Jinling is a blessed land. Although there is the danger of the Yangtze River in the south and the barrier of Zijin Mountain in the north, the geographical location of Jinling is not good." Wu Tong sighed.

The new scholar couldn't help jumping out, "Is this not good?"

"The capital of the Qin Dynasty was Xianyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty was Chang'an, and the capital of the Song Dynasty was Bianjing. What was the purpose? To be able to defend the northern frontier. Looking at the overall situation, Jinling is located in the middle, not south, nor north. Since the establishment of the dynasty, The Northwest has suffered from the turmoil in Mongolia, and today I have led troops to conquer Mongolia many times, in order to clear the obstacles in the Northwest and restore the peace of the Northwest border."

"It's true. The Mongols are eyeing tigers and have invaded the northwest many times to plunder their property."

"If you want to keep the northwest, Jinling is too far away, and the water in the distance can't quench your thirst."

People in the tea shed were chattering like hundreds of mosquitoes.

"If you want to defend the northwest, you can arrange heavy troops to guard Yanjing, and you can even use Yanjing as the northern capital. The northern and southern capitals coexist, and you don't have to move the capital."

Su Yue followed the prestige, and saw a scholar from the shed standing up calmly, this scholar was very insightful.On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the coming year, the current emperor announced the move of the capital to Yanjing, and moved a part of it to the past. He announced to the outside world that the two capitals of the north and the south coexisted, alleviating the panic of the world.

"This is the best of both worlds. The coexistence of the north and the south can not only relieve the pressure on the north, but also keep the blessed land in the south." Wu Tong and Tang Mengzhou nodded in unison.

"The northern and southern capitals coexist. This is just a tactic to slow down the war. One mountain cannot contain two tigers, and one dynasty cannot accommodate two capitals. In a few years, the southern capital will be completely abandoned." The man's voice was like a stream of water, with a bit of coldness. meaning.

Su Yong heard something familiar, and looked up, the man with high nose and sharp eyebrows, with a cynical expression, was actually Seventeen who was a Japanese pirate.

The debate in the tea shed became more and more exciting, and the people watching the excitement rushed forward in fear of missing something. The tea shed was noisy like a vegetable market.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, if you squeeze again, get out." Su Yue rapped heavily on the pillars under the eaves twice with her fan.

The herbal tea shop belonged to a little girl, and the little girl had already spoken, and everyone immediately fell silent.

Mr. Huang's mind is in a mess, and he is still thinking about moving the capital. After the capital is moved, businessmen from all over the country will flock to Yanjing to do business. He wants to buy a few shops in advance, no, buy a piece of shop, and move to Yanjing. There must be a house to live in, he still has to buy a few houses, no, buy a house in an alley, how can a few houses be enough, he also needs to prepare more southern goods, so many people come all at once, how can he have enough southern goods Sell……

The more Mr. Huang thought about it, the more excited he became, and when he thought about this and that, he felt that there were a lot of things to do. He reorganized his thoughts, and the first thing to do was to write a letter back to tell his father about moving the capital, so that his father could make plans early.
