On the way back home with Fang Miaolian who had fulfilled her vows, the saint's attitude was obviously much better than when she left.
As soon as Yang Lin settled down, he saw Yun Niang coming up to him, taking his cloak and saying: "Master, Prime Minister Bai has been here for a long time."
"Oh?" Yang Lin calculated in his mind and knew that it was probably about the Zen position.
"Take me to see it."
Yun Niang led him to the flower hall and saw Bai Shizhong walking back and forth, looking very excited.
Seeing Yang Lin come in, the salute was much more respectful and formal than before, and Yang Lin became more certain of his thoughts.
"Your Highness, here is the Zen edict drafted by Grand Master Cai. Can you take a look?"
Yang Lin took it over and found that it was indeed Cai Jing's handwriting. He had copied the calligraphy for a long time, but he still couldn't get the charm of it.
After reading it in a hurry, he found that the edict was very well written. Yang Lin nodded and said, "That's it."
Bai Shizhong quickly took the edict, put it away carefully, and said with a smile: "Young Zai, what is the name of the country?"
Yang Lin tilted his head and thought for a long time, then said: "Since he is the King of Yan, let's call him Dayan."
The name of the country was decided, and the edict for the Zen throne was drafted. The only thing missing was the Zen throne ceremony.
Yang Lin did not intend to make a fuss about this Zen ceremony. If he really let the Ministry of Rites do it, the cumbersome procedures would make him exhausted.
Bai Shizhong saw that he was not interested at all. He was not in any urgent mood, and was not even as excited as himself. He couldn't help but secretly admire him in his heart. He was worthy of being a young zai, and he was destined to be so calm as an emperor.
They judge others by themselves, and they must think that they are extremely nervous, and Yang Lin should not be able to sleep at this time.
It's a pity that they are not Yang Lin. There is really no need for Yang Lin to lose sleep over something that is certain.
After stretching and yawning, Yang Lin waved his hand and said, "We need to discuss more specific matters with Master Cai."
When Bai Shizhong heard this, there was an obvious meaning of seeing off guests in these words, so he didn't dare to stay anymore and hurriedly got up and left.
As soon as he left, Yang Lin was about to go to Su Ningxiang's courtyard to play with Yang Tianxian when he heard a burst of hurried footsteps.
Yin Muhong stepped in, with thick dark circles under his eyes, and it seemed that he had not slept well.
"Young Master, these are the newly sent drawings from the Duwei Mansion. I have selected a few of them. What do you think?"
Yang Lin asked him to explore the world and find places suitable for building a city as a place to move the capital.
Yin Muhong was very concerned about it. This was a huge event, and he could easily leave his name in history.
After a cursory glance, most of them were in the north, which showed that this guy had a deep understanding of his inner thoughts.
Yang Lin nodded with satisfaction. A drawing of Xiong County aroused his interest.
This place is the ancient battlefield of the Song and Liao Dynasties, located in the heart of Hebei and Youyan. The map states that there is an underground passage spanning nearly a hundred miles from southwest to northeast across Xiongxian, Bazhou, Wen'an, and Yongqing.
Yang Lin just wanted to ask with a smile which war these were dug, but suddenly he thought, isn't this Xiong County the Xiongan New Area in later generations...
Otherwise...building a city here would probably not be a mistake.
After all, it must have undergone more scientific exploration and measurement in later generations.
Now that it is extremely urgent, the edict for the Zen throne has been written, and the location for moving the capital and building a city has not yet been determined, wouldn't it be even more urgent to actually do it?
Yang Lin didn't have time to continue sifting, so he made a final decision: "Xiong County is in a good location. It is connected to Yanzhou in Beijing, to the east of Tianjin Port, and there is a straightened canal that passes through Shenyang and Changchun in the north, and is adjacent to Hedong and Hanoi in the west. It can be gathered together. When the Han people in the north returned home, they built a capital here."
Yin Muhong didn't expect such a big thing. He made the decision immediately. He felt a little uncomfortable for a while and was stunned for a moment.
Then he thought that the person in front of him would soon be the emperor. Wouldn't his unprofessional performance be a discredit to his own abilities? He quickly cupped his fists and said, "Young Master has such good eyesight, he actually thought of it with his subordinates."
Yang Lin stood up with a smile, having solved a major issue and settled a knot in his heart.
Otherwise, I don’t know how much hair will be lost, and I may not be able to find a good place.
In this way, the people of Xiong County have benefited greatly. Unfortunately, the demolition fees are not very expensive nowadays, and their fields and homesteads can only make a small fortune.
After confirming the capital, Yang Lin was in a good mood and nodded: "Go there in person and draw a boundary. The city must be large this time. Any mountains and rivers around it must be clearly drawn, and then hydrology, geology, transportation, etc. It’s time to explore again.”
Yin Muhong nodded repeatedly and remembered everything in his heart.
After seeing Yin Muhong off, Yang Lin walked to the backyard with his hands behind his back. As soon as he reached the door, he heard a burst of laughter in the yard.
Jin'er came out of the hall with a smile. Because the hall was warm, she didn't dress too thickly. She only wore a rabbit fur vest, and her cheeks were still rosy. When she saw Yang Lin, she was surprised and happy, and she immediately He stepped forward and called Master.
"Oh, are you going to change your name to "Master"?
Yang Lin rubbed her head and said, "Master, I will allow you to call her till you grow old."
Jin'er smiled sweetly, hugged his arm, and returned to the room together.
In the room, Zheng Yunyao only wore a small quilted jacket and a ponytail bun. After giving birth to the child, she became rounder, fairer, and more supple.
The places that should be round are now rounded, her slim waist is still curved, and her cheeks are so charming and enchanting.
Everyone in the room was teasing Yang Tianyi, but when they saw Yang Lin coming in, they all stood up and saluted.
"Dad..." Yang Tianying and Yang Tianxian also ran over happily, hugging his thighs one on the left and the other on the right.
Yang Lin hugged them one by one, turned around and said to Yun Niang: "Prepare some generous gifts for me, I want to go out."
"My Lord, is there anyone else who wants you to give a gift?" Yun Niang asked as she clapped her hands.
Zheng Yunyao also asked curiously: "Who are you giving the gift to?"
"I'm going to visit Master Cai. Where's Lingbao? Will you go?"
Cai Lingbao rested his chin on the table, shook his head and said, "I won't go, I won't go. I just went there once, there's nothing interesting about it."
Yang Tianxian rolled his big eyes and said, "Dad, I want to go."
The other one was not to be outdone: "Daddy, daddy, I'm going too!"
Yang Lin smiled and said: "Wear thicker clothes for them, and I'll take them there. It's just a visit anyway."
As the actual housekeeper of the house, Yun Niang has been very good at handling transactions over the years, so she immediately made a list in her mind.
Take these healthy women and maids, go to the treasury to draw money, and then arrange a carriage.
Yang Lin took his two daughters to visit Cai Jing, appearing to be closer to him. What he wanted to ask this time was how to form a construction team.
Is it better to have an institution like a barracks directly managed by the court, or to have "factories" set up by the private sector to undertake the tasks of the court, or to simply set up a yamen, similar to the river control department.
Each of these plans has its own advantages and disadvantages. Yang Lin thought about it for half a month, but he still couldn't figure it out.
At this time, he really wanted to hear Cai Jing's opinion.
Now the construction of the new city is about to begin. According to the current national conditions, it is bound to be a big project. Such a huge empire needs a capital city that can match it.
Bianliang obviously had this qualification, but for various reasons, Yang Lin was extremely determined to move the capital.
