Chapter 729: Moving the capital and founding the country

It took Lu Songli and his party five days to return to Changli, Pingzhou.

At this time, many officials had already proposed moving the state government office from Changli to the south of Youzhou, and some even proposed the establishment of a state.

After all, Pingzhou now has seven states of power, on par with Dali.

Currently, Dali only owns seven or eight states in real terms.

It's just that its territory is larger than Pingzhou, probably twice as large as Pingzhou.

However, in terms of population, the entire Pingzhou force probably has a population of more than eight million.

In this war, Pingzhou captured four states. Unfortunately, only the three states of Dali had a population, and the territory the size of a state given by Xianbei had no population. At the same time, because of Pingzhou's successive victories in the war, a lot of people flowed in from the surrounding areas adjacent to Dali.

At this time, excluding those who died in the war, the population of Pingzhou forces was equal to that of Dali.

Lu Songli is also thinking about it.

Sima Fa said that rewards should not be delayed, and he wants the people to get the benefits of doing good quickly. The punishment is not moved out of the list, and the people want to quickly regulate it because it is an unwholesome harm.

The meaning of this statement is that it is not enough for the monarch to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments. Rewards must be honored in a timely manner. This is to enable the people to quickly see the benefits of doing good deeds and to encourage the people. Punishment is carried out on the spot so that people can quickly see the consequences of doing bad things.

This time Pingzhou took the initiative and captured four major states. Pingzhou's civil and military officials deserved a generous reward for their great achievements.

So Lu Songli said in front of everyone, "Everyone has made great contributions this time! Whether it is the generals who bravely killed the enemy on the front line or the civil servants who assisted in the rear, they will all be rewarded heavily!"

At this time, the civil and military officers in Pingzhou were all excited when they heard this. Someone took the lead and asked, "Governor, what about the founding of the country?"

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Songli, the governor. It was the dream of all of them to make great achievements and become a marquis and prime minister.

Of course, not everyone here hopes that Pingzhou will be founded at this time. These people are Pei Zheng, Wei Kuang and others. They have just joined Pingzhou and have not made many contributions. At this time, the country was established, and then rewards were given for meritorious service. How could they have a good position with their meager achievements and qualifications?

It would be better not to establish a country first and let them have time to work hard.

Lu Songli smiled slightly and said, "I can understand everyone's mood, but it is not the time to found a country yet. Next, if nothing else happens, in the free trade zone of Qingxu and Yanzhou, our Pingzhou and There is still a tough battle to be fought between Dali and Xianbei. Good steel must be used on the edge. There are too many things involved in founding the country, such as personnel, money and food, so I think this is not the time. The same goes for moving the capital. "

The founding of the country was dismissed by Lu Songli on the grounds that it was a waste of money and people.

Everyone saw that their governor really had no intention of founding the country, so they all calmed down one by one.

Then, Lu Songli called her father, Qin Heng, Xue Xu, Guo Chong, Dong Jichuan and others to start formulating the criteria for the reward.

On the way back with Xue Xu taking Xian Feng, Zhang Cheng and other clan members, Xian Feng was very puzzled and said, "Second uncle, if the governor doesn't consider establishing a country for the time being, then he can move the capital."

Zhang Cheng also said, "Yes, if you don't establish a country, you can just move the capital."

Xue Xu didn't say anything. Of course he knew that it was necessary to move the capital to Pingzhou.

Although Changli, the political center of Pingzhou, is good, it is obvious that this area already belongs to the rear. The center of the next war must be the battle for the hinterland of the Central Plains.

It would be great if the government affairs center in Pingzhou could be moved closer, for example to the south of Youzhou, so that various responses could be made more timely.

But moving the capital involves establishing a country.

He might be able to figure out a little bit of the governor's thoughts, but he couldn't possibly say it out loud.

The foundation of Pingzhou was originally established by the Qin and Lu families, because the governor and Qin Liuye were the link between the Qin and Lu groups. When the political power was first established, it was determined that the Lu family and Lu Songli would be the main ones and the Qin family would be the auxiliary ones. pattern.

Since Pingzhou's full-scale attack on Dali and Xianbei, rewards and death and injury compensation for ordinary soldiers have been issued in a timely manner.

Money and land can also be distributed by the governor together with them.

However, the power of rewarding and promoting civil and military officials must be in the hands of the governor. As the saying goes, names and tools cannot be faked.

If the country was founded at this time and the governor ascended the throne and took over the power, it would be a violation of the original promise.

But if the governor and Liu Ye ascend the throne at the same time and become Lu Huang Qin Sheng, someone will inevitably sow discord among the top officials.

There will inevitably be changes in the people in power at the top, which will be detrimental to the development of Pingzhou.

It is better to maintain the status quo. Now Mr. Liu hardly participates in government affairs, and government affairs are solely handled by the governor.

The next day, Ji Wuyin asked to see Lu Songli.

Lu Songli met him.

Ji Wuyin came here just to ask her for one thing, could she not be so cruel to Qinghe County's Fengyue Place?

Lu Songli looked at him, "Did Mr. Cui of Qinghe invite you to be a lobbyist?"

"Haha, I really can't hide anything from the governor."

Lu Songli didn't say anything, just looked at him.

Who doesn’t know that the master behind these brothels is the Cui family of Qinghe? Of course Lu Songli also knew.

Ji Wuyin smiled bitterly, "Governor, Ji is a businessman, and it is inevitable to have favors. Furthermore, Ji owed Cui a favor before."

Ji Wuyin said that he had no choice but to go through this.

The person currently in charge of Qinghe County is Zhang Zhongxian.

What Zhang Zhongxian is doing is to ban businesses such as brothels and Chu houses under orders.

In addition to the strong reading atmosphere in Qinghe County, the most famous one is Qinghe County's brothel Chuguan.

Because of the war, almost all businesses in the places involved in the war were in ruins.

It stands to reason that Qinghe County is no exception. But because the Pingzhou army fought from north to south, Qinghe County was the last group of cities to be captured. And because of its special reading atmosphere, Qinghe County was least affected by the war. Therefore, the business of the brothel Chuguan was also very prosperous, and it could be said that it was a unique flower.

"Governor, Cui Yan said that he can hand over 50% of these operating income to Pingzhou."

Lu Songli said categorically, "This is not negotiable. You can go back."

Brothels must be banned.

She has decided that the families who have defected to Pingzhou or are currently living in Pingzhou should be beaten, beaten, trampled, and one or two thorns killed.

Ji Wuyin didn't understand why she was so tough on this matter, "Governor, since ancient times, no matter which dynasty, brothels and other places of romance have been completely banned. Isn't it a bit too much for you to do this?"

"Human nature is full of warmth and lust, and human desires are immortal. So romantic affairs are like weeds, which grow again in the spring breeze and cannot be destroyed."

Hey, some people are already spreading rumors outside that it is because the governor is a woman that she is overly sensitive and disgusted with these places.
