Although the Han Dynasty has only moved its political and cultural center north to the Central Plains and continues to maintain its important position as the economic center of the south, in the final analysis, economy is not the most important factor in determining whether a place can be replaced in this era.
Industry and commerce have just risen, but who knows when they will be suppressed by the imperial court and dissipate. These businessmen, who are now arrogant and making a lot of money, will be suppressed by the imperial court one day.
After all, before this, industry and commerce were still at the bottom of society, especially businessmen who mainly drove economic development, and had always been despised by the upper class of society. Therefore, officials in the south were still worried about the status of the economic center left by the south.
of.
What's more, compared to the north, the most distinctive feature of the south is naturally that the states and counties are too scattered. This dispersion does not mean geographical dispersion, but the dispersion of economic and cultural development. In terms of geographical concepts, they all belong to the south.
Jiankang Prefecture, Yuzhang County, Changsha County, Jiangling County and Chengdu Prefecture, etc., obviously each has its own scope of influence. The Jiangzuo or Jiangnan cultural and economic circle represented by Jiankang Prefecture, and Changsha, Jiangling
The Jingxiang cultural circle represented by places such as Jingxiang and other places naturally collides with each other, rather than being connected with each other.
In contrast, the cultures of the Central Plains, Hedong, Jizhou and other places in the north have a higher degree of mutual recognition, and naturally it is easier to unite as one.
Therefore, the southern officials who knew their own situation would certainly not agree to the emergence of another Ye city when they saw that Luoyang and Chang'an were beginning to move towards the middle.
When the Han Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, the southern officials made great concessions, so now that they have stood up to oppose it, it is impossible for Li Xinchen not to take their attitude into consideration, otherwise these guys may be angry and rebel.
In addition to Yecheng, some people suggest choosing Jinyang, Pingcheng or Xiangguo County. Although these places have also served as capitals in troubled times, each has its own shortcomings, and some are too far to the west.
, some are isolated outside the fortress, and some are also close to the south like Yecheng.
The northern capital that was finally tentatively determined was Yan County in Youzhou. Yan County is located in the northeast of the Central Plains and within the Great Wall. In the future, the army can enter into the grassland from here - when Wei Qing attacked the Xiongnu, he chose to advance from here, so he can naturally retreat.
Relying on the Great Wall to guard it is indeed a natural key point that can be advanced or retreated.
Moreover, Yan County is different from places such as Yecheng. It is far in the north. Naturally, it is difficult to fully correspond to the Central Plains. It can be used as a military center for troops to enter, but it is difficult to become the center of northern political culture on a par with Chang'an, Luoyang, etc. Naturally, it is
With the approval of southern officials.
However, Yan County had always been under the control of the Fenwu Army and the Marine Corps, and the Han ministries had really not crossed the line of fire or made a large circle to get here.
Therefore, places such as Youzhou and Heping City can be said to be one of the few places managed by the military for a long time during the Northern Expedition. It is precisely because of the experience accumulated in this military control that many low-level generals of the Fenwu Army retired.
He was transferred to local civil servants, and those who did well even served as governor of a state. Of course, this is only a later story.
Now that the Han Dynasty has completely opened up the connection between Yecheng and Yan County, various departments have begun to select officials to go north to take over various civil affairs in Youzhou, and conduct a thorough survey of Youzhou to see how many minerals there are in Youzhou.
There are also workshops and the like on the fields to plan for the future development of Youzhou and Yan County.
At least now the Ministry of Industry has put forward a plan to extend the canal directly to Yan County. In addition, there are a large number of Northern Zhou workshops around Yan County that can be used. Therefore, Yan County will also be positioned as a military and industrial town in the north in the future, and its future is unlimited.

————————————-
Although the matter in Yecheng has not been completely settled, it is no longer suitable for Li Xingchen to stay in Yecheng for too long.
Yecheng's identity as the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will gradually be diluted, and the premise of this dilution is naturally that Your Majesty cannot always hang around Yecheng. Otherwise, when the world talks about Your Majesty, they will think of Yecheng, and when they think of Yecheng, they will naturally also think of Yecheng.
Let’s talk about the fallen dynasty. This is obviously not what the Han officials want to see and hear.
The most fearful thing in the world is comparing people to each other.
Before the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Jizhou was the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The kings of the Northern Qi Dynasty were more and more weird, and the policies were naturally very volatile. Taxation was also full of tricks, and the people below complained endlessly. When the Northern Zhou Dynasty replaced the Northern Qi, the policies were stable and taxation was easy.
The people were naturally relieved. Compared with the Northern Qi Dynasty before, everyone was naturally grateful to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Even when the Northern Zhou Dynasty split and wars broke out, many people still supported the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Sometimes the people of the Chinese nation are so honest and simple. Since you have been kind to me, I will try my best to help you when you are in trouble.
you.
What's more, both Yu Wenyong and Yu Wenxian can be called Ming Dynasty masters. At least they are better than the previous Gao family, so the people are even more grateful. In addition, the propaganda of the Northern Zhou Dynasty towards the Han Dynasty is naturally at odds with the Han Dynasty's attitude towards the Han Dynasty.
Just like the Northern Zhou Dynasty, of course they tried every means to slander you, so the people were already afraid of the Han Dynasty.
At this time, it is obviously not a good thing to excessively increase the presence of Yecheng, the capital of the previous dynasty.
Although Li Xingchen felt that the civil and military officials' ideas were a bit excessive, he had to respect everyone's considerations. What's more, these civil and military officials reluctantly agreed to his northern expedition to Yecheng. Now if he wants to
If we don't leave, these guys won't be able to save everything and they will start to issue memorials like snowflakes to persuade us, which will be annoying to death.
When monarchs and ministers get along, they should respect each other. There is no need for Li Xinchen to stay in Yecheng, especially now that the queen has arrived in Luoyang from Jiankang Mansion with hundreds of officials. The whole world is waiting for him. Looking at him, Li Xinchen is not the same.
Returning like an arrow?
On the seventh day of the sixth month of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, in the warm summer weather, the Imperial Guard returned south, accompanied by the Imperial Guard and other armies, and the Han army returned to the court. Of course, the Han Dynasty also left behind enough officials and soldiers.
The horses were stationed in Yecheng until the order in Jizhou was stabilized.
At this time, we have to mention the role of the Jizhou family. After all, the Jizhou family still has some foundation. In addition, the general trend of the world has now become a foregone conclusion. If we don't hurry up and serve the Han Dynasty, we will have no chance. Therefore, Cui Shiji is the leader.
The Jizhou family actively mobilized manpower to cooperate with the Han Dynasty in reorganizing Jizhou, the home base of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which indeed allowed the Han Dynasty to save a lot of manpower and material resources.
Of course, in return, they also received a lot of benefits. The land that the Jizhou family was able to retain was much better than that of the Jiangnan family that was almost wiped out before. Of course, Li Xingchen also used this to tell the world that those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.

Even if they are from an aristocratic family, the big man cannot be completely defeated with one stick.
