Liu Chengyou has never mentioned the idea of moving the capital to others, because at the moment, it is neither urgent nor necessary. Only when he is full will he implement the idea of moving the capital now.
Judging from the current situation, Kaifeng is the most suitable city for the Han Dynasty, not only for economic and fiscal considerations, but more importantly, for the rule of the Central Plains and Hebei. Although the Han Dynasty originated in Hedong, as a northern country, the core of its governance is still In the Central Plains and Hebei.
If we want to stabilize these two territories, only Tokyo and Ye can achieve the effect of radiating in all directions, and Luoyang is too far away. When it comes to moving the capital to Ye, there is no need to bother.
As for military considerations, considering the current situation in the world that the Han Dynasty is facing, at this critical moment of transition from chaos to rule, maintaining a huge force in Tokyo also has its advantages, especially in terms of conquering the south and the north. In the north, the Khitan Regardless of whether they can conquer the Yellow River again, the forces in the south are even less concerned about it. If they really have the strength to advance into the Central Plains, they will not be as bad as the Northern Han Dynasty today.
As for Kaifeng City, up to now, it has not been devastated and destroyed by the Yellow River floods. Liu Chengyou had the idea of moving the capital, but he was just thinking about the future. Faced with the need to rebuild Kaifeng City, he was a little hesitant about the huge investment required.
However, upon reflection, I found that large-scale reconstruction of Kaifeng is still necessary. First, Kaifeng’s current urban situation is indeed unable to meet its socio-economic development needs. Second, in the next long period of time , at least before the reunification of the north and the south, there was no need to move the capital.
Although Liu Chengyou had the ambition to rule the world, he did not have the absolute confidence to defeat all countries in a short period of time. It would take at least ten years. And Liu Chengyou could not tolerate the increasingly bad urban environment in Kaifeng. Until the world is unified, even if it is simply for the development of the city.
After thinking about it, Kaifeng needs to be rebuilt...
Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou seriously thought about this issue in his mind. He initially considered that after the Southern Expedition.
"Mr. Lang is still thinking about Kaifeng?" Zhe Xiaoniang raised her head slightly and looked at Liu Chengyou who stood there in meditation for a long time.
After coming back to his senses, Liu Chengyou said casually: "On the half-month day, I will go north to Fengqiu for hunting, and you will accompany me then!"
Hearing this, Xiaoniang Zhe immediately became energetic, her bright eyes flashed with excitement, and she responded with a smile: "Thank you, Sir!"
"At that time, I can take the opportunity to see the elegant style of Fuzhou's proud girl!"
Turning his head to see Zhao Kuangyin standing aside, Liu Chengyou suddenly had an idea and waved to him.
"What are your orders, officer?" Zhao Kuangyin approached and asked politely.
"Well..." Liu Chengyou started to speak and then waved his hand: "Nothing!"
Liu Chengyou originally had a sudden idea to ask Zhao Kuangyin about moving the capital, so he could take the exams in his spare time. However, he quickly dismissed this idea. After all, such an uncertain and important matter cannot be revealed casually, otherwise the news will spread. , may send out wrong signals, confuse people's minds, and cause unnecessary political turmoil.
Even if he could be silenced, thinking about it, there was really no need to spend unnecessary words on that sudden thought.
Although Zhao Kuangyin was confused by Liu Chengyou's strange behavior, he still adhered to the etiquette of a minister, looked calm as usual, and stepped back. His respectful and even submissive attitude did not contain any deliberate attempt to please, and his behavior was full of calmness. , probably in official history, this is how he served Guo Rong.
As his thoughts flashed, he suddenly saw people in the street, calling for friends and companions, gathering in one direction. There was a lot of movement, which attracted Liu Chengyou's attention.
"Go and ask what's going on?" Liu Chengyou ordered.
Without waiting for too long, Zhao Kuangyin turned around and reported: "It was Hou Fuyin who sat in court to hear the case in Kaifeng Mansion, which attracted the people nearby and went there after hearing the news."
After recalling it for a while, he realized that the Kaifeng government office was not far away. Liu Chengyou couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of case can cause such a sensation?"
Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Liu Chengyou briefly and tried to keep his voice emotionless: "It is said that it is related to Emperor Murong!"
"Oh?" Liu Chengyou was immediately interested. He closed his eyes a few times and thought for a moment: "Go and have a look!"
Kaifeng Mansion is one of the few grand government offices in Kaifeng City. Ordinary people can feel the great intimidation just by standing in front of the government office.
It was mid-afternoon, and the yamen opened wide. People nearby gathered in front of the yamen, maintaining solemnity under the maintenance of the yamen guards.
Above the court, Hou Yi, the governor of Kaifeng who is over sixty years old, is sitting in the court to hear the case. He is dressed in a purple robe and has an official robe on his head. Such a serious dress does not reveal much violation on Hou Yi, an old warrior. A place of harmony.
Generally speaking, if it is not a major case or an important case, Hou Laofu Yin will not go to court in person. As a naughty old man who is a Buddhist official and is as slippery as a loach, he is very lazy. Most of the cases accepted by Kaifeng Mansion are It was left to the judges of Kaifeng Prefecture. Since taking office, Hou Laofu Yin usually seems to be careless and does not do much. However, if you think about it carefully, he has done a lot of practical things. To reach this level as an official, for a Cong Qiu Ba It is really not easy for a martial artist.
Although this case did not involve human life, it did involve powerful people and royal family members. Ordinary people really didn't dare to try it, so they could only bother Hou Yi to take action personally.
In fact, the matter has been investigated very clearly, and it only needs to go to court, which is not complicated. It is the matter of Murong Yanchao's construction of Tokyo Residence. Since last winter, nearly 300 craftsmen and laborers have been recruited.
In the early days, they were usually paid on a daily basis, but the problem was that in the later stages, there were cases of deductions, arrears, and even refusal to pay after the work was completed. A group of craftsmen came to ask for help, but were bullied and beaten, and some were injured or even disabled.
In the hall, there were five ordinary people in simple clothes and rough skins waiting with their heads down and timidly. Standing opposite them was a middle-aged short-bearded man in cotton clothes, not Murong Yanchao. He is the steward of his house, and his attitude is somewhat arrogant.
The case has reached a certain stage of trial.
Hou Yi was shocked. He glared and yelled: "One person is making false accusations. Is there any reason for hundreds of people to make false accusations at the same time? I have already investigated the right and wrong, the cause and effect. You evil slave, Do you still dare to quibble in court?"
Without waiting for the manager to explain, Hou Yi continued: "The same evildoers as you have already confessed. It is clearly you, the evil slave, who took advantage of the humble power of the supervisor to deduct the wages of the hired workers and pocket them for personal gain. After the incident, I faced the challenge of being punished.
He wanted craftsmen, but he had evil intentions and ordered his servants to beat them and drive them away, causing three craftsmen to be seriously injured and disabled..."
Although Hou Yi is old, his mind is very clear, his expressions are clear, his expression is cold and stern, and coupled with the evil aura brought by decades of military service, it is very scary.
Murong Yanchao, the manager, also came from the army. He looked very confident in the hall. Although his arrogance had weakened, he was still very arrogant. He still raised Murong Yanchao: "Master, please don't be fooled by this."
The untouchables have been deceived. It is obvious that they are greedy. I have been taught by my master, how can I deprive him of some money and food? The Lord must be aware of it and summon me to the court without any reason. If the case is wrongly judged and the crime is wrong,
I'm just afraid..."
"What are you afraid of!" Hou Yi's old face became calm at this time.
Seeing this, the steward felt proud and pretended to hint: "My master is a majestic uncle!"
"What a wicked slave. You are so arrogant in court. You want to use the emperor's uncle to suppress me. I really don't know how high the sky is. I am about to punish you for contempt of court!" Hou Yi's color suddenly changed, and his hair was gray.
Xu seemed to be filled with murderous intent: "Come on, hit me!"
After saying that, he took out two red-headed lottery tickets from the lottery box on the hall table and threw them down. First came the twenty big ones.

The officiant from the hall immediately came forward with a stick, ignored him, and knocked him down with all his strength, and then executed the sentence without sparing any effort.
Miserable but heart-wrenching cries of pain echoed in the hall. Seeing that the torture was halfway through, Hou Yigang said slowly: "You evil slave, you dare to mention the emperor's uncle. You deceived your master, deceived your superiors and deceived your subordinates, and did this evil thing."
, you have made trouble here in my house, and you dare to make false threats, you really don’t want to die!"
Hou Yi's trial style is very rough. After a brief questioning and the presentation of the evidence collected, he will directly judge the case. All the wages withheld from him will be returned, and the injured craftsmen will be compensated.
In terms of talent, in addition to the talent of being in charge of affairs, it also had to be surpassed by his master Murong Yan. After all, the emperor was not strict.
As for the officers who committed the crime and those who followed the crime, they were all sentenced to exile. It was only a light sentence. According to the rules of the early Han Dynasty, they were punished with death. That is, no life was caused, otherwise they would have to pay with their lives.
The verdict is decided and everyone is happy.
Zhao Kuangyin finished watching the entire detention trial process with a calm expression and a thoughtful look on his face. He separated from the crowd and reported to Liu Chengyou who was sitting in a quiet area.
After hearing this, Liu Chengyou showed amusement on his face: "Listen to what you said, this Lord of the Marquis still has some means to judge cases..."
"Yuen Long." Liu Chengyou called.
"What are the officials' orders?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
"Tell me, can a small manager really deceive superiors and deceive subordinates to that extent?"
Zhao Kuangyin hesitated and said cautiously: "Perhaps the emperor's uncle was confined to his home and ignored internal and external affairs, so he was deceived."
Hearing his answer, Liu Chengyou smiled. Looking at Zhao Kuangyin's reaction, it was clear that he had used his brain.
Obviously, there is something else behind this case. Hou Yi and Murong Yanchao may have communicated in advance. However, Liu Chengyou doesn't care too much, as long as the case is handled...
