A few days later, the Daliang court issued a document, mainly targeting Yingshui County and Liang County, using the matter of "moving the capital" to induce the people in the two counties to spontaneously move to Sanchuan County.
In just half a month, when the news spread throughout Yingshui County along with the announcements posted in various counties, the people in the county were almost excited.
Is the imperial court moving its capital?
Do we have a chance to become Gyeonggi people?
Just as the Minister of Internal Affairs Jie Ziu had judged, after hearing the news, many people sold their local fields and houses, took their money and families with them, and embarked on a journey to Sanchuan County.
Don't think that the people of this era are ignorant. In fact, as long as it is clearly stated that there is a profit, even the people of this era will not lag behind others.
But as the saying goes, everything has two sides. If someone supports it, then there must be someone who opposes it, and those who oppose the imperial court's move of the capital are undoubtedly the Wei people in Liang County.
Among these Wei people, they were mainly nobles, aristocratic families, etc.
Don't think that the imperial court's move to the capital will have little impact on the local nobles and aristocratic families. In fact, it involves many interests.
Let me just say one thing: the Wei people living in the royal capital of Gyeonggi are always the most well-informed. No matter what new policies the court promulgates, the first people to learn about them are always the people of Daliang.
There is no way, this is called the first to get the moon near the water and the tower.
Especially in these years, the nobles in Liang County and even the country have become accustomed to following the imperial court to take advantage of them: when the imperial court opened Bolangsha Port City, the nobles purchased shops in Bolangsha; when the imperial court attacked the Hetao, the nobles pooled funds to build a
A private army followed behind the regular army to plunder the livestock in Hetao.
But now, the imperial court is suddenly preparing to move the capital. Doesn't this mean that these nobles have lost their source of information? In the future, if the imperial court comes out with any new policies, the first people to learn about them will not be them, but the people living in Sanchuan County.
People, how do these nobles and aristocratic families accept this?
But having said that, opposition is opposition, but these people really don’t have the courage to gather people to protest against the imperial court.
If the late king Zhao Si was in power, these people might have dared to unite and persuade the clan to put pressure on the court, because the late king Zhao Si was already old and lost his vigour, even though the late king also concocted "
The Tragedy of Nanyan".
For example, in the "Sanchuan Trade" incident back then, in the contest between Su Wang Zhao Run and the domestic aristocratic forces, the aristocratic forces finally won the final victory. There was no factor in this that the former king Zhao Si compromised with the domestic aristocrats.
But the current new king, Zhao Run, is not a kind person. Just saying that this new king once swept across the entire Central Plains and defeated the armies of the Central Plains countries is enough to make the nobles in the country dare not make enemies with him.
What's more, this new king single-handedly created the "Tiance Mansion", proclaimed himself a general, and placed almost all of Wei's regular army, nearly 400,000 people, under the jurisdiction of the Tiance Mansion, firmly holding the military power in his hands.
Facing such a young king with a strong personality, sweeping the world, and holding 400,000 troops, who dares to risk such a big deal and go against the new king?
The new king, Zhao Run, is definitely the most powerful king in the history of the Wei state. At the same time, he is also the hero who carries the hopes of thousands of Wei people.
Therefore, unless this king wants to force the aristocratic forces in the country to death, the latter will never dare and will never act against this new king.
Since the hard one is not enough, then the soft one will do.
For a time, the nobles and children of aristocratic families in Liang County rushed around to visit the ministers of Daliang and the closest brothers of the new king Zhao Run, such as King Zhao Jiang of Yan and King Huan Zhao Xuan.
At this time, King Zhao Jiang of Yan had returned to Shanyang after attending the funeral of his father Zhao Si, and also took his mother "Sun Guiji" to Shanyang County for support, so that the mother could see her children and grandchildren every day and reduce the number of children.
I miss the pain of my late king.
Zhao Jiang, King of Yan, was annoyed by the domestic nobles who frequently visited him and hoped that he would stop the imperial court from moving the capital. He said angrily: "The matter of moving the capital is a matter of your Majesty and the imperial court's own considerations. I am the one stationed at the border."
General, how can there be any reason to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court?!"
Then, the king of Yan, Zhao Jiang, simply refused to see visitors and focused solely on training the army.
After all, at this moment, part of his Shanyang Army was sent to garrison in Handan. There were not many troops stationed in Shanyang. Therefore, he also hoped to expand the Shanyang Army into a "fifty thousand establishment" army - Wei
The country's current front-line regular army is almost composed of 50,000 men.
At the same time, King Huan Zhao Xuan, who had returned to Anyi, was also harassed by these people.
However, compared to Yan Wang Zhao Jiang, Huan Wang Zhao Xuan's personality was more introverted. Of course, he couldn't do anything like his fourth brother Zhao Jiang who directly kicked the visiting guests out of the mansion, so he simply pretended to be sick and refused to come out.
No comment on this matter.
The two princes stationed at the border were standing by, which made the nobles and nobles of Liang County angry and discouraged. Although the new king Zhao Run still had brothers such as Zhao Hongli, Zhao Hongjing, and Zhao Hongyin, the problem was between those princes and that
The relationship between the new king and the new king is not close, so I can't say anything.
After much deliberation, these children of aristocratic families went to visit Zhao Laiyu of Anling, Zhao Run's third uncle.
After all, it was Zhao Laiyu who had been mediating the conflicts between Zhao Run and the domestic nobles over the years.
Zhao Laiyu was very surprised by the intention of these people. He smiled and said: "The imperial court must have moved the capital to better enable the development of the Wei Dynasty. Only when the Wei Dynasty becomes more powerful can you all achieve greater success."
Therefore, I think you should support it... As for the impact of moving the capital on you, I don't understand. There is a lot of unused land in Sanchuan County. You only need to buy a piece of land and move your family home.
As long as the business is gradually transferred to Sanchuan County, will this have any impact?"
After hearing what Zhao Laiyu said, the noble families in Liang County were stunned.
Yes, we have money. If we go to Sanchuan County to buy a piece of land and move our family property there, wouldn't it be over? Why should we be at odds with the imperial court on this matter?
As a result, the nobles of Liang County suddenly woke up and swarmed to Sanchuan County, preparing to purchase land in Sanchuan County.
This made Yang Yile, the Minister of Household Affairs, grinning from ear to ear.
Thinking about it, much of the land in Sanchuan County is inaccessible wasteland. Now this kind of wasteland can be sold. This is a windfall for the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Thinking of this matter, Yang Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, could not bear to be angry that the Driving Department under the Ministry of War had robbed the profits of the "National Road Network" that should have belonged to his Ministry of Revenue, and happily discussed with his officials, which ones in Sanchuan County
Land needs to be set aside for pasture, what can be sold and at what price.
It is worth mentioning that because the benefits of buying and selling land are so attractive, Yang Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs, is thinking about whether he can also sell the land in the "Yichuan", "Sichuan", and "Lushi" areas. After all, these are currently
Except for the tribal Sichuan people who make a living by grazing, the remote areas are almost completely deserted and desolate. If these wastelands can be turned into tangible and visible money, this can greatly benefit.
The land makes the household officials feel at ease.
Who asked the new monarch to prepare to build a road network across the country and equip it with rail carriages? Not long ago, officials from the Ministry of Revenue roughly estimated the required costs, and several officials turned pale and fainted on the spot.
Now, those officials of the Ministry of Revenue who were panicked by the treasury deposits a while ago can be said to be feeling very proud - as long as there are still sufficient funds in the treasury, these officials will feel at ease; otherwise, they may not think about food and drink and become depressed.
Unhappy.
It has to be said that because of Zhao Laiyu's words, the nobles and aristocratic families in the country no longer had any intention of resisting the imperial court's move of the capital. At most, they could only say a few words with dissatisfaction: Let the prosperity of Daliang and others that have been inherited for more than a hundred years be left alone.
They don't need a city, but they want to move the capital to a deserted and backward place like Sanchuan County. I really don't know what the court and the new monarch are thinking!
In comparison, it was the ordinary people in Liang County who protested more.
Don't think that there is no so-called contempt among the Wei people. In fact, the Wei people who have always lived in Daliang, the capital, inevitably have a sense of superiority when looking at their compatriots in other places, although most of these people
Most of them are not even nobles.
But now, knowing that the imperial court is about to move its capital to Luoyang, and that Daliang will lose its honor as the royal capital in the future, the people near Daliang can't sit still - in fact, the leader is mainly a small nobleman and a small aristocratic family who is not very wealthy.
As well as some wealthy gentry who invested a lot of money in Bolangsha Port City.
Of course, these people cannot make any trouble, but considering the issue of public opinion, the imperial court responded clearly: Even if the imperial court moves the capital to Luoyang in the future, Daliang will still exist as the companion capital, and like Bolangsha Port City
, the imperial court did not intend to move important administrative buildings such as Yecheng, which greatly enhanced the economic and technological development of the Daliang area.
In this case, the voice of opposition is getting smaller and smaller.
After all, as long as Bolangsha Port City is not affected, and the Metallurgical Bureau's Yecheng City remains in the Daliang area, in fact, the impact of the capital relocation on the local area of Daliang will not be great. At best, Daliang will lose its role as the royal capital.
It's just an honor.
As a result, with the coordination of all parties from the government and the opposition, the turmoil caused by the capital relocation quickly subsided. As time went by, people from all parties acquiesced.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, some stubborn people also appeared who strongly opposed the imperial court's move to the capital.
However, these people soon died down. The reason is very simple, because the black crows under "Zhang Qigong, the right captain of Tiance Mansion" visited these people's homes in the middle of the night and brought some of the things that this family had done.
Some evidence of corruption and perversion of the law was thrown on the owner's bedside. After dawn, these people immediately swore to the outside world: The court's decision is a wise one, and I will fully support the court's decision.
To deal with such people, Zhang Qigong said that he didn't need to use his brain at all.
Comparatively speaking, those who are most calm about the imperial court's intention to move the capital are probably the Wei people in Shangshui County. During the period when people from various counties in the Wei Kingdom spontaneously moved to Sanchuan County, only the Wei people in Shangshui County were the ones who were the most calm.
The people were unmoved, as if the capital of Wei State, whether it was Daliang or Luoyang, had nothing to do with them.
But if you think about it carefully, the Wei people in Shangshui County do have this confidence. After all, Shangshui County is the fief where the new king Zhao Run made his fortune, and it is destined to be rewarded to the child born to the new king Zhao Run and the princess of Qin (Qin Shaojun) in the future.
The son, together with the title of "Shangjun", in short, it is impossible for the Wei State to ignore the development of Shangshui County, so the Wei people of Shangshui County are not worried at all.
What's more important is that Shangshui County is currently an important hub for "Wei-Chu trade". Although it is not as open to merchants from the entire Central Plains as Bolangsha Port City, in terms of development potential, it is destined to be one of the best in Wei.
You need to give up the near and seek the far.
After that, after the controversy over moving the capital to Luoyang gradually subsided, the imperial court began a large-scale operation to build the capital.
A few days later, the Daliang court sent a team of three courtiers, namely Cui Can, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Xie Xian, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Wang Can, the left minister of the Ministry of War, to Luocheng to meet with the leader of the Chuanluo Alliance.
They discussed the matter of building a new capital.
Among them, the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for calculating expenditures and transporting various resources needed to build the new capital, while the Ministry of Industry is responsible for building the capital, and the Ministry of War is responsible for drawing the road network - since Tiance Mansion gradually replaced the original functions of the Ministry of War
, Today's Ministry of War has gradually developed into logistics assistance, such as raising war horses for the Wei army, maintaining domestic military and official morals, and other matters.
To be fair, even if the Sichuan-Luo Alliance bears all the costs of building a new capital, building a new capital would still be quite stressful for the imperial court.
Mainly it's a manpower issue.
The extremely wealthy leaders in the Sichuan-Luo Alliance said that if they wanted to build something, they should build it on the largest land and in the best possible way.
This attitude was quite at odds with Chen Dan, the assistant minister of the Construction Department of the Metallurgical and Manufacturing Bureau who was sent by the imperial court to supervise the construction work in Sichuan.
It's no wonder, because under the influence of a certain King Su, the Smelting Bureau's supervisory purpose is "big", "fierce", and "fine". It emphasizes excellence in everything and must reach the peak of Wei's technology.
As for how much money will be spent on this, the officials and craftsmen of the Metallurgical Bureau never consider this issue: we are not officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so we don’t care how much it costs!
As a result, after negotiations between the leaders of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance and Chen Dan, an official from the Smelting Bureau, the estimated area of the new capital suddenly doubled several times, which frightened Cui Can, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and became dizzy on the spot:
Although the construction of the new city was funded by the Sichuan-Luo Alliance and did not need to deal with the national treasury, it was money after all! How could it be so wasted...
Well, it’s not actually a waste of time, but Cui Can can’t accept this kind of throwing away money.
Since the area of the new capital has been doubled several times, the manpower required has naturally increased several times. This gave Xie Xian, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, a headache, because he found that even recruiting 100,000 civilians for this project would not be enough.
At this time, Lu Balong, the leader of the Lun tribe, said that there was no problem with manpower.
It turns out that at this time, the Sichuan-Luo Alliance had contact with the Jie people in Nanyang and Wandi areas.
The cause of this incident was that the Jie tribesmen of the Jie tribe and the Ling tribe asked for help from the Sichuan-Luo Alliance.
This happened before the "War of Wei and Han". They were defeated by Wei and fled to Nanyang. The Jie people in the Wandina area re-established their tribe there, and not surprisingly, they had conflicts with the Ba people in Bashu.
conflict.
In this conflict, it’s hard to say which side started the fight first. After all, Badi has always liked to plunder people as slaves, and the Jie people also need a large number of manpower in order to redevelop the tribe. Therefore, the two sides broke out unexpectedly.
war.
In the early stages of the war, the situation of the Jie people in Nanyang and Wandi was not optimistic, because they were beaten so badly by the Wei army that they almost lost the possibility of defeating the Ba people. In this case, the leader of the Jie people "
Acton", tried to send people to form an alliance with Chuanluo, hoping that the latter would help them out of the fact that they were as close as brothers in the past.
The Sichuan-Luo Alliance could not make the decision on its own in this matter. After all, the Jie people who fled to Nanyang and Wandi were considered enemies of their monarchy Wei State. Therefore, the Sichuan-Luo Alliance sought Daliang's opinion.
At that time, although the prince Zhao Run had gone to Song County, the late king Zhao Si had not passed away at that time. After learning about the matter, he allowed it. After all, the Ba people had always been the object of hatred of the Zhao family.
The hatred of the Ba people is no less than the mutual hatred between Chu and Qi.
After getting Daliang's approval, the Sichuan-Luo Alliance secretly funded the Jie people in Nanyang and Wandi and supported them in launching a war with the Ba people. As a price, these Jie people had to donate a large number of slaves to the Sichuan-Luo Alliance -
—This is the reason why the Lun tribe became the leader of the slave trade and continuously resold slaves to the Wei State.
Therefore, in the view of Lu Balong, the leader of the Lun tribe, manpower is not a problem at all, because they have a very useful slave catcher called the "Nanyang Jie tribe".
As a result, all the deficiencies were made up, and a large group of people began the huge project of building the new capital Luoyang on the north bank of the intersection of Luoshui River and Yishui River.
On the other side, Daliang sent officials such as "Deng Zhan, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry" and "Yu Fang, the director of the Ministry of War Driving Department" to discuss the matter of increasing the national road network and laying track carriages.
To be honest, the scale of this project is no smaller than the construction of the new capital Luoyang. If the Ministry of Household Affairs had not tasted the sweetness of buying and selling the land in Sanchuan County and saw some glimmers of hope, otherwise, these officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs would have
When I saw the report submitted by the Ministry of Works, I was probably going to faint.
Who said that the construction of the national road network and railway carriages should be directly funded by the national treasury controlled by the Ministry of Household Affairs?
In the blink of an eye, October came. As the Wei army gradually withdrew from Xihe, the Qin army took over the war with the Korean general Yanmen Shou Li Mu. Due to the geographical advantage of the Korean side, the Qin army's offensive failed to have any effect.
As a result, the wars in Xihe and Yanmen brought Qin and South Korea into a stalemate.
During this period, the Wei armies that retreated from the Xihe War Zone, such as the Hedong Army of Lintao Lord Wei Ji, the Hexi Army of Sima An in Hexi, and Shaohu, etc., followed the imperial court's orders and began to establish farming in their respective defense areas.
We must strive to be self-reliant and reduce the pressure on the court as much as possible.
It is worth mentioning that in order to increase the enthusiasm of the army to farm, the imperial court changed the original method of collecting grain. That is, the court no longer solicited the grain from each army for free, but adopted the method of acquisition, and the profits were owned by the respective armies.
.
But correspondingly, the imperial court no longer provided free replacement of weapons and equipment for these armies. If these armies wanted to replace their equipment, they had to spend real money and place an order with the Military Casting Bureau.
In order to improve the enthusiasm and competitiveness of these armies, the Tiance Mansion has also decided to conduct surprise inspections of these armies at regular intervals. As long as the appearance and fighting spirit of the soldiers meet the standards, the Tiance Mansion will issue an extra military pay, etc.
All in all, it once again raised the treatment standards of the Wei army, and gradually transformed these armies from the original "directly under the central government" to "local garrisons". This has advantages and disadvantages, but in general the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. "
PS: It’s not the time to write this yet, I’ll mention it a little and talk about it later.』
In addition to Qin and South Korea, Wei is still attacking Qi's Dongjun, and Chu is still attacking Qi and Lu. In the entire Central Plains, Wei is the only overlord that has escaped the chaos of war and remained silent.
The country began to develop its internal national strength in a secretive manner - to be honest, this situation is indeed a bit incredible.
Thanks to the Wei State's all-out efforts in internal construction, Zhao Hongrun, the new king, is very busy these days. Not only does he have to deal with daily government affairs, but he also has to pay attention to the construction of the new capital and the progress of laying the national road network.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun finally realized for himself why his father Zhao Si turned gray at the temples when he was over fifty, while his second uncle Zhao Yuanyan was still energetic when he was over sixty. It was because he was too overworked in his position as king.
I don’t want to die young!
So the next day, the new king made himself sick. In order to recover as soon as possible, the new king supported his tired body and took Mi Jiang, Su Ran and other girls to play in the imperial garden while watching the crowd.
The girl was playing on the grass with Zhao Wei, Zhao Chuan and other little guys, while lying on a lazy chair and basking in the sun leisurely.
After learning about this incident, Du You, the Minister of Rites and the head of the hundred officials in the court, looked calm.
He believed that the young new monarch must have unfortunately contracted some disease, such as laziness, which must be incurable.
In response to this, Lin Yuyang, the Minister of Internal Affairs, said with a smile: "Forget it, after all, Your Majesty has survived for more than a month this time, let's just pretend that we didn't see it. Anyway, most of the domestic affairs have been implemented, so...
Let your majesty... well, rest in peace and recover from your illness."
After hearing this, all the other ministers in the court showed knowing smiles.
Sighing slightly, Du You, the Minister of Rites, said worriedly: "I'm afraid that if I keep taking care of myself, my condition will not improve but will gain weight..."
"That's better than Your Majesty sneaking out of the city." Li Liang, the former Minister of Household Affairs, said with a smile.
After thinking about it, Du You, the Minister of Rites, felt that Li Liang's words made sense: as long as His Majesty was still under their noses, it wouldn't be a big problem.
During this period, Zhang Qigong, the right captain of Tiance Mansion, personally sent a list, which probably recorded the names of those who were dissatisfied with the imperial court.
Seeing these ministers of the DPRK still talking and laughing even though the new emperor was being lazy, Zhang Qigong opened his eyes wide in surprise: What is going on? Did I miss something?
In his impression, Du You, the Minister of Rites, should have gone with all the ministers to advise him.
