Changing Yuan

By December, the new capital was basically completed.

Various government offices in Chang'an were moved to Daxing one after another. The families of the soldiers took over in advance, followed by the common people.

Chang'an is not far from Daxing, only fifty or sixty miles.

Relocation is not a hassle.

The government prepared bullock carts and horse-drawn carriages, and most people had a mule or packhorse at home.

Yang Zheng promoted animal husbandry, and the price of livestock in Guanzhong was not expensive.

Ordinary people can also afford it.

What's more, the Qin State also had a horse policy, encouraging people to raise horses and cattle.

Livestock plundered from the grasslands, war horses and camels returned to the army, mules, donkeys, pack horses, calves, etc. were sold at low prices or leased to the people.

The government collected the money, eliminating the need to raise low-value livestock, saving fodder, and the people gained the power of livestock, making life and farming much more convenient, killing two birds with one stone.

Entering the new capital, the atmosphere of a great country hits your face.

The streets are much wider and the houses are much more refined than those in Chang'an.

The accompanying hostages from the Western Regions were all stunned.

Some people even prostrated themselves on the ground and knelt down to worship.

But no one laughed at him, this city was indeed shocking.

Ji Kang, who has always been serious about words and expressions, also had joy on his face, "If your majesty can extend it for another two years and add eight million yuan, this city will be the best in ancient and modern times!"

Yang Zheng swallowed, eight million yuan, eight billion money...

Even when the Han Dynasty was at its strongest, it would be difficult for him to spend eight billion...

Suddenly I remembered a phenomenon from later generations: some people can afford to buy a villa, but cannot afford to decorate it.

This is what happened in Daxing. If Ji Kang's predictions were followed, I'm afraid his empire would be destroyed in less than two generations.

Most people who engage in art are perfectionistic.

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "I can't get eight million coins at once, so how about dividing them into thirty years? Ji Zhongsan can be made slowly."

Ji Kang often resigned and traveled around the world, so it would be good to find something to tie him down.

He has created a lot of value over the years.

Admirers from the Central Plains followed, and Da Qin's literature, painting, calligraphy, music, philosophy, alchemy, etc. all developed greatly. A Guangling San song became famous all over the world, and the mansion in the new capital also became famous because of him.

Discussions on the spiritual level of scholars have also been ongoing. Affected by the vigorous and vigorous style of the Qin Dynasty, scholars gradually abandoned the style of casual conversation since the Han and Wei dynasties.

I picked out the essence of Confucius from the pile of bamboo slips: Scholars are committed to the Tao, and they are ashamed of those who wear bad clothes and eat badly, which is not enough to discuss.

A scholar who aspires to the Tao but is ashamed of wearing old clothes and eating bad food is not worthy of discussing the Tao with him.

It coincides with the frugality advocated by Yang Zheng.

The spiritual level of the scholars was also subtly reshaped, and the bravery of the northwest was constantly injected into it.

Isn't there a famous saying in later generations that both spiritual civilization and material civilization must be tough.

China has been able to stand firm in the long river of dark history for thousands of years. Yang Zheng has always felt that in addition to cultural inheritance, there is also spiritual inheritance.

Fortunately, the spirit of scholars in this era has not been completely cut off. There are refined self-interested scholars like Sima Yi, but there are also scholars who take the world as their own responsibility, such as Lu Zhi, Du Yu, Suo Jing, etc.

And the gentry is not the same as the scholar.

Ji Kang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I am stupid, the country is in dire need, how can we advocate luxury?"

Yang Zheng laughed twice, as long as he didn't resign.

At least he will not leave Daxing until the world is unified.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable if it fell into the hands of Zhong Hui or Sima Yan.

Since it is a new capital, everything must have a new look.

At the court meeting, the first suggestion was to change the reign name.

It is said that after the great victory in Hedong last year, the world situation changed, and the reign name could be changed.

Yang Zheng thought it was troublesome, so he delayed it until now.

After Sima Yan moved his capital to Yecheng, he changed his reign to Xianning. This reign name basically revealed Sima Yan's thoughts on peace.

The reign name Huangwu has also been criticized by civil servants. The Qin Dynasty was already strong in martial arts, so there was no need to emphasize force anymore.

"There is a saying in the Book of Songs: The new Kongjia is like the old one? The Jiajia is new, beautiful, and good. It is most in line with the trend of the Qin Dynasty. I suggest changing it to Yongjia in the Yuan Dynasty." Du Kuan cupped his hands and said.

Yongjia, Yongjia Rebellion?

Yang Zheng almost couldn't breathe. Is this a blessing or a curse?

There are so many Chinese characters, how did Du Kuan find these two characters?

Is it really the strong inertia of history?

"I suggest that Jinghong be the reign name." Wei Guan cupped his hands and said.

These two characters are quite satisfactory, unremarkable and not domineering.

The Wei Guan got on, and Pang Qing also followed suit and said: "Your Majesty rose from the Jie Zhou, swept across the land and annexed the eight wastelands. I suggest that you change the Yuan Emperor's hegemony and create the hegemony of the Emperor of Eternity!"

I have to say that Pang Qing’s academic level has been rising rapidly in recent years.

The word "Huang Ba" has become domineering, but as he recited it, Yang Zheng couldn't help but think of the Bastard...

Zhang Te cupped his hands and said: "I suggest changing the name to Wuji! Your Majesty is invincible in the world, and the sound of martial arts is as high as the Han Dynasty and the martial arts of Wei Dynasty. How can the word "wu" be missing?"

To change Yuan Wu Ji, it is better to use Huang Wu.

Why do you need to change the same meaning again and again?

It doesn’t reflect the new atmosphere either.

The four of them each had their own opinions, and an argument broke out in the spacious and bright Tai Chi Hall.

Since Emperor Wei Ming built the Tai Chi Hall, the main halls of all imperial palaces until the Tang Dynasty were all Tai Chi Halls. National affairs, New Year's Day, the new emperor's accession to the throne, amnesty, reform of the Yuan Dynasty, political decisions, etc. were all decided in this hall.

Looking at the people arguing, Yang Zheng's heart moved. On the surface, they were arguing about the reign name, but in reality, the four forces of Great Qin were fighting.

Du Kuan represented the Yongliang gentry. This position was originally supposed to go to Huangfu Mi, but Huangfu Mi was obsessed with medical skills and writings and had little interest in this matter. In addition, Du Kuan's nephew was the world-famous Du Yu, so this position naturally fell.

onto his head.

Needless to say, Wei Guan represents the surrender forces. In recent years, even the scholars and surrendered generals in Shu have been moving closer to him.

Behind Pang Qing are of course the Qingying forces, the Xuanyi Division, and the Zhenfu Division, which are very powerful in the Qin Dynasty.

Behind Zhang Te is Yuan Cong.

Qin's stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and naturally there are all kinds of hills.

In the past, there were not many interests, and everyone could still unite as one.

But things are different now. Even if these four people don't want to fight, the forces behind them will push them forward.

Don't look at it as just fighting for a year name, there are too many things behind it.

However, if the interior of Daqin is monolithic and there are no hills, it would be a fairy tale, and a dark fairy tale at that, which would be even more dangerous.

It represents a large force in the court that suppresses all other small forces.

All the courtiers had the same idea, and asked the emperor if he was afraid?

Just like Cao Wei, when Emperor Ming was dying, he decided to appoint Cao Yu, Xia Houxian and others as his ministers. However, the nobles did not agree, so Emperor Ming had to bow to the nobles and changed his names to Sima Yi and Cao Shuang.

The gentry were the largest force in the Cao Wei court.

The Xungui Group represented by Cao Shuang is no match for them at all.

Historically, Chongzhen fulfilled the wish of Donglin Party literati and destroyed the power of the Eunuch Party as soon as he came to power. But was the Ming Dynasty peaceful and peaceful for the people?

The mountains will always exist, which is the amplification of human nature at the national level.

Yang Zheng feels that the foundation of imperial power is balance.
