Valley Emperor

On February 28, Xuanping 27, Sheng Jia arrived at one of the most important railway hubs in the empire in the Central Plains: Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province.

But it is worth mentioning that although the Central Plains Railway, the Northern Railway and the Northwest Railway meet in Kaifeng, it is not in Kaifeng City, but in Zhengzhou in the west.

The geographical location of Kaifeng City is not very good, and it is prone to floods, so when the railway was built, it avoided Kaifeng and chose Zhengzhou, which is west of Kaifeng.

However, at that time and even now, Zhengzhou was under the governance of Kaifeng House, so in terms of title, it is not wrong to continue to say Kaifeng House.

Because Zhengzhou has always been a prefecture rather than a province, and this has also caused Zhengzhou to develop well, but its administrative level has always been low.

In the local political structure of the empire, the governors of the provinces and the four Taoists of Zhili were all from the second rank.

The prefects of the prefectures are the fourth grade.

The province under the direct jurisdiction of the province is under the jurisdiction of the state, and its prefecture is from the fourth grade.

And the direct descendant belongs to the state under the jurisdiction of the government, and its state is from the fifth grade.

And the county magistrates are the sixth grade.

The county belongs to various towns, and Zhizhen is the seventh grade.

The village chiefs of the villages subordinate to the town are Zhengjiupin.

As for several other special administrative structures, for example, Chengtian House is where the capital is located, and the level of the prefect of Chengtian House is from the second rank, which is the same rank as provincial governors and Taoists.

In addition, various industrial zones, trade zones, development zones, etc., are generally adapted to local conditions. In some places, the head of the industrial zone Yamen may only have seven or eight grades. For example, the famous Lingao Industrial Zone, its district In fact, there are only seven grades.

However, the mayor of some industrial zones is of very high grade. For example, the mayor of Shanghai No. 1 Industrial Zone is of the fifth grade.

Basically, there is no comparability and cannot be unified.

In the early years of Zhengzhou, as a prefecture-level prefecture, its rank was only five grades, but in the past ten years, due to the relationship between railway hubs, this state has suddenly been strung together.

In just a few years, its economic output value has far surpassed that of Kaifeng City, the capital of Henan Province and the prefectural city of Kaifeng at that time!

Because of the railway junction, and because Kaifeng recruited the Yellow River flood all the year round, the Empire officially decided to move the provincial capital of Henan Province from Kaifeng to Zhengzhou when Xuanping 23rd.

Along with the relocation, there is the Yamen, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Therefore, Zhengzhou, which was suddenly strung together, is also the capital of Henan Province, Kaifeng Fufu City, Zhengzhou Prefecture City, um, and by the way, it is also the county seat of Xingyang County.

Compared with the cities where most provincial governments are located, there are more administrative agencies at this level.

In fact, many people have been thinking about turning Zhengzhou into a provincial prefecture over the years, but the Kaifeng government strongly opposed it. Instead, they proposed another solution, which is to directly revoke Zhengzhou's state-level agencies and subordinate The counties are directly under the jurisdiction of the prefect yamen.

These two options are now in constant debate, so that's why they dragged on.

Although administratively, Zhengzhou is a bit chaotic, but this has not affected Zhengzhou or Kaifeng to become the most important railway hub and industrial city in the Central Plains.

Because of the railway hub, when the construction of the Central Plains Railway began, this place became a strategic location. Not only the army troops were stationed here, but also the guard troops were stationed here.

Usually, the main force of the Guards is stationed in Chengtianfu, but there are also a few guards who take turns garrisoning in several strategic places, such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jiujiang, Tianjin, and Kaifeng. They are all guarded by guards.

It's just that the number of troops has always been small, and outsiders are not very clear about it.

The military knows the strategic position of this place, and ordinary people are not stupid, they are also aware of it.

Relying on the convenient transportation of the railway hub, coupled with the continuous management of the Yellow River over the years, it also has navigation capabilities, and can connect the canal area through the Yellow River, so the industry here in Zhengzhou has also developed over the years.

It's just that the time is short, so most of what Li Xuan sees is a large construction site, and there are not too many large-scale enterprises that have actually been built and put into production.

But just looking at these construction sites, Li Xuan can judge that the rapid development of Zhengzhou in the next ten or twenty years is a sure thing.

If relying on such a railway hub to develop, then it must not be some other objective factor, but a human factor. Li Xuan has to deal with all the local middle and senior officials.

It's just that although there is potential, the dusty construction site is really not good-looking, so after Li Xuan stopped for a while, he started westward, arrived in Luoyang and then went to Chang'an, Shaanxi.

Chang'an in Shaanxi is one of the three major capitals of the empire.

It’s just that the imperial capitals are only nominal capitals. Whether it is Zhaoqing, Chang’an, or Youzhou, they basically only have the name of accompanying capitals, but in fact they do not have any functions or functions. privilege.

Because at that time, this companion capital was just for balance. After the capital was settled in Jinling City, Li Xuan left the so-called companion capital behind.

Therefore, in fact, the three major capitals of the empire have not developed very well. Youzhou is directly operated by the empire as a military fortress.

In order to weaken the influence of the former Ming Dynasty survivors, the Datang Empire directly abandoned the huge Youzhou City, and chose Tianjin as the political and economic center of the north.

At the beginning, Youzhou City was quite lively, but it declined within a few years.

A large number of middle and upper classes have fled Youzhou City one after another, leaving only ordinary people who have no escape. Up to now, the population of the entire Youzhou City is only about 150,000 people, far less than the 400,000 to 500,000 people in Tianjin. population size.

The mainstay of its economy is basically agriculture, with very little industry, so it can basically be ignored.

Youzhou, which has been the political center of China's great city for the past two or three hundred years, is now completely over.

But this is a good thing for the Tang Empire!

Because the city of Youzhou was surrendered, there was no large-scale siege operation. In addition, the Tang Dynasty did not carry out large-scale cleaning of the city, so there are many former Ming Dynasty survivors in Youzhou City. .

But at the same time that the old and the young are disgusted by the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has done even more!

They directly abandoned Youzhou City and chose Tianjin as the provincial capital and a strategic location in the north. The huge Youzhou City was used as a huge military camp.

The result is this...

This is the case with Youzhou, which is the companion capital, and Chang'an, which is also the companion capital, is not as good as there. Although it is the provincial capital of Shaanxi, Shaanxi's economy is not very good, so it can't develop if it wants to develop.

Today's Chang'an, for the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the biggest role is to act as the rear of the westward!

Li Xuan did not stay in Chang'an for long, nor did he say that he would continue to go west to Gansu, but returned directly to the east.

After arriving in Kaifeng, head north to Tianjin!

This way north is naturally an old-fashioned inspection, nothing special. When he arrived in Tianjin and went to Youzhou, Li Xuan stayed at Xiyuan in the Forbidden City, and went to visit the dilapidated Forbidden City with great interest.

Then continue westward, set foot on the grassland, ran to the grassland, galloped horses, and held a hunt.

For this hunting, Li Xuan thinks it is very interesting, and thinks that he can do more hunting in the future.

This kind of hunting sounds good, but it is actually a kind of military exercise, and it can cultivate the spirit of martial arts in the country.

Returning to Tianjin from the grassland, Li Xuan has basically ended most of his voyage this time.

As for the northeast, he doesn't plan to go. It's not too far or too cold. The key is that the northeast is still relatively desolate, and there's nothing to see if you go there.

So the holy drive is to start the return journey!

The return trip was much faster than when going north, because when going north, Li Xuan went north while inspecting, and often stopped to inspect somewhere for a day or two.

But when you go back south, you won't be doing any inspections. If you go all the way south, unless you add coal and water and stay overnight, you won't stay or inspect anything.

It has been more than three months since the tour, and to be honest, Li Xuan also wants to return to Jinling City.

Taking the train every day, no matter how comfortable and luxurious it is, Li Xuan still feels a little tired.

And for more than three months, he has basically seen everything that he should watch. He knows the good and the bad. Now, when he goes back, he naturally needs to make targeted adjustments according to many situations.

Otherwise, what would he spend so much time patrolling the country for!

When the holy drive returned south, and soon passed through Xuzhou and was about to arrive at Jinling City, Li Hao, the crown prince who had been in prison for more than three months in Jinling City, was also relieved.

In the past three months, Li Xuan was tired from the tour, and Li Hao, the prince who stayed in Gyeonggi, was even more tired!

Not physically tired, but mentally tired.

Li Hao, who was in charge of the country for the first time, felt immense pressure from the first day, and all kinds of pressure rushed towards him from all directions.

He has to deal with all kinds of daily affairs, and major affairs must be quickly passed to the emperor for processing.

At the same time, more importantly, he has to prevent turmoil in Gyeonggi!

Fortunately, the father was considerate of him. At the end of last year, he drove the three vassal kings back to their overseas fiefdoms. If the three vassal kings stayed in the country, it didn't matter whether they stayed in Gyeonggi or went on tour with Li Xuan. , Li Hao has to worry.

Several brothers were driven to overseas fiefdoms by the father~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and those military bosses were also taken away by the father, only lieutenant generals and civil servants were left in Gyeonggi, which made Li Hao The pressure is much less.

But even so, he has been unable to eat or sleep well for the past three months, for fear that someday some turmoil will occur.

But sometimes, he vaguely expects something to change!

For more than three months, the torment Li Hao has endured is unimaginable to outsiders.

And when he knew that his father had passed Xuzhou and entered Fengyang, and was expected to arrive at Jinling North Station tomorrow, he was greatly relieved.

All the pressure disappeared with Li Xuan's return!
