Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 442: On moving the capital (Part )

"Jiangcheng?"

Prince Zhu Biao and King Yan Zhu Yue both looked at this, a place they had never thought about.

On this map, whether it was Dadu, Xijing, or even Yizhou City, Prince Zhu Biao placed a tea cup as a symbol of choice, but he had never thought about this Jiang City.

"Did Zhao Aiqing mean..."

"of course not!"

Zhao Zheng shook his head directly, smiled and quickly nodded at Suhang Mansion.

"I just want to tell your highness and prince that when it comes to transportation, Jiangcheng is number one. When it comes to economic prosperity, Suzhou and Hangzhou are number one. When it comes to protecting the safety of the capital, Chongqing Prefecture is number one."

"But these three places, despite their strengths, all have shortcomings, so they are not suitable."

"The same is true if it is weaker than all three."

Zhao Zheng turned the teacups placed on the map upside down one by one, and then continued to speak.

Prince Zhu Biao, while listening to what Zhao Zheng continued, turned his attention to the Yudu Mansion.

After all, he had considered Yizhou City before, but he didn't expect Zhao Zheng to move the teacup directly to Yudu Mansion without even discussing it.

Naturally, he figured out the relationship quickly.

After all, considering Yizhou City means considering the natural barriers around Sichuan and Shu.

The territory of the dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, and the world is getting more and more prosperous. With the old Tang Dynasty as a lesson, Prince Zhu Biao naturally understands that a big ship may sink faster than a small ship if he is not careful.

He was just curious about why Zhao Zheng fell in love with Yudu Mansion, and he had always ignored Yudu Mansion before.

Yes, this place is a poor place. It is too challenging to build a capital here, so I have always ignored it before.

"Therefore, I believe that moving the capital does not necessarily mean moving the capital."

"The purpose of moving the capital can also be achieved by other means."

“We don’t have to move the capital?!”

Zhao Zheng continued talking until these words.

Prince Zhu Biao and King Yan Zhu Yue couldn't help but interrupt.

After so many years, the limitations of Yingtian Mansion as the capital have long been revealed.

Not to mention Prince Zhu Biao, King Yan Zhu Yue himself had discussed this issue with Dao Yan in private. Why did Zhao Zheng suddenly say that the problem could be solved without moving the capital?

Unless he is God!

As for Zhao Zheng, he is certainly not a god. If he were a god, he would still be working hard here every day, jumping his consciousness back and forth on various puppets.

"What I mean is, is there a way to bring together the strengths of all parties? How can we make up for the shortcomings of one place?"

"Gathering the strengths of all parties to make up for the shortcomings of one place?"

It’s great to be able to do this!

Prince Zhu Biao thought Zhao Zheng had a solution, and his eyes lit up instantly.

As for Yan Wang Zhu Li, his heartbeat was racing and his ears were pricked up, not wanting to miss any detail.

"how!?"

Both of them looked at Zhao Zheng with bright eyes. If he didn't tell him, he would never leave the imperial study room today.

Unfortunately, his next speech was not so magical, and the two of them were instantly disappointed.

"It's my idea, why don't you elevate these places to the status of capital..."

Zhao Zheng said, standing on the shoulders of giants has this benefit. He has endless experience to draw from, and he has countless lessons to remind himself.

"Accompany the capital!"

The setting of a companion capital was naturally familiar to both Prince Zhu Biao and King Yan Zhu Yue.

But they didn't expect that Zhao Zheng's solution was to set up these places as companion capitals.

So many companions?

And setting it as a companion capital will solve the problem? Is it because the future emperor will take the court to another place every once in a while?

"Back to Your Highness, this is what I think."

Zhao Zheng nodded, did he really think he had to solve every problem?

If that were the case, he would no longer be Zhao Zheng, he would be Zhuge Liang!

Moreover, the matter of moving the capital was secondary to the waste of people and money. The key was that he had to conceal the southwest and protect the crown prince Zhu Biao.

This time, it was finally my turn to stop it instead of promoting it.

Difficult!

What's more, this time, he is not completely arrogant, because adding a companion capital is not without merit.

The establishment of the capital is not just a matter of name. It also represents countless entanglements of interests.

Of course, the important thing is the forward gain.

Moving the capital is nothing more than changing the current layout of the court and changing the geographical conditions.

As for the two factors of economy and resources, in fact, they can all change under geographical conditions and power shifts. It is nothing more than the difference between sitting back and enjoying what is ready and spending more time.

This is also one of the important reasons why the emperor and the prince moved the capital.

Of course, this is also what makes Prince Zhu Biao hesitate...

The territory is so large that the south no longer needs the capital to drive development.

On the contrary, in the north, the kings have been released, so control of the north must be put on the agenda quickly.

Therefore, adding additional capitals, as the territory of the Sun and Moon Dynasty became wider and wider, was almost the simplest way to re-divide the interests. It was so simple that it was almost an outright plan, and only needed the opinions of the court.

Zhao Zheng had never considered this opinion. Prince Zhu Biao planned to move the capital, so he naturally would not be afraid of such a trivial matter, not to mention that with his power, there was no need to be afraid.

However, it cannot solve the fundamental problem.

"I only understand things, and I have overstepped my bounds."

"Your Highness and Prince, why don't you think about it slowly? The key points of aircraft development are reaching the critical point. This... minister..."

After that, he ran away.

The best situation for Zhao Zheng's plan is actually to change nothing.

This is the last moment of friendship for Prince Zhu Biao.

But it seems that letting the kings let this matter go...

So he actually knew that there was probably nothing he could do to stop it.

It’s hard, I’ve gone round and round, but I’m still back.

"Then go ahead, my dear, and pay attention to rest!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

……

In the imperial study room, there were only two people left, Prince Zhu Biao and King Yan Zhu Yue, staying in the same room with his eldest brother. It would be impossible for King Yan Zhu Yue not to feel guilty.

So in silence, he decided to take the initiative.

"Brother, I think that Minister Zhao's suggestion of setting up an additional capital just now actually has merit."

"Oh?"

Prince Zhu Biao was about to ask him what he thought, but unexpectedly King Yan Zhu Yue took the initiative to speak.

"Brother, you forgot, Minister Zhao just said something... let us not forget the steam engine!"

"Brother, think about it, if the cross railway is built, then what will happen if the court changes its location every month?"

Prince Zhu Li of Yan had always remembered the style of Zhao Zheng's Minister of Industry's waistcoat, and it was a warning to Prince Zhu Biao.

"But that's what I say..."

"Fourth brother, does he know how long it will take for the cross railway to be completed?"

"The imperial court is indeed wealthy now, but there are more and more places to spend money, alas..."

To move the capital, it is not possible to rely solely on the south, and the money is not enough.

"Brother! Brother Chen suddenly thought that since Mr. Zhao can find a solution that we can't think of, although the solution is not complete, in the prison that day..."
