1815th: Choosing a Location and Setting a Capital

Before Jiang Pengji led the troops to set off, something was put on the agenda.

It was when Wei Ci reminded her of this matter that she only remembered it—Beiyuan and Xichang are not in good shape, and the overall situation of the world has been decided.

It doesn't seem to make any difference whether Jiang Pengji ascends to the throne now or after killing the two countries.

So, the question is, where is the capital?

"Isn't it too early to think about the matter of the capital?"

Jiang Pengji was not familiar with these operations, so naturally she didn't understand and had no idea.

From her point of view, wouldn't it be better to worship the heavens and the earth to proclaim to the world that she had ascended to the extreme, so she should call her Your Majesty in the future?

She thought it was very simple, but in fact there were a lot of things to prepare in advance, such as where the imperial capital would be.

Wei Ci said, "It's getting late, if the lord ascends to the throne, we will start preparing for the construction of the imperial mausoleum almost as soon as the first year is over."

Jiang Pengji: "???"

What kind of coquettish operation is it to send someone to build an imperial mausoleum for yourself not long after ascending to the throne?

Wei Ci smiled and asked back, "Could it be possible that my lord thinks that the imperial tomb was built urgently by Emperor Yulong Bintian?"

Jiang Pengji thought about the specifications of the imperial mausoleum described in the history books, and fell silent.

Not to mention that with the construction level of this era, even a few hundred years later, it may not be possible to build an imperial mausoleum that meets the regulations in just a few months. Generally speaking, the emperor's imperial mausoleum is sent to be built shortly after ascending to the throne, from the mausoleum design, material preparation, manual arrangement... These are all projects that consume huge material and financial resources. If the project is fast enough and the emperor's reign is normal, it can usually be completed two or three years before his death. It is impossible to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, and if the imperial mausoleum is like this, the imperial capital can't wait to grow slowly after reaching the peak, right?

Jiang Pengji was speechless at the question, and finally got lazy.

"This question is indeed... Where was Jiang Chaoguo in your previous life? Then it will be where you are in this life?"

Wei Ci sighed, he knew the lord would say that.

"Setting up the capital in the previous life was a bit of a joke. When the world was stable and the people's livelihood was stable, there were still ministers who suggested moving the capital."

There is no way, His Majesty is too willful, the position of the imperial capital was chosen with eyes closed.

In the tenth year since the founding of the Jiang Dynasty, the imperial capital located in the middle and lower reaches was flooded for three days because of the corruption of officials in the upper reaches.

Although the flood control did not cause too many deaths in time, the fertile fields of the people in the suburbs near the imperial capital were flooded, and the annual harvest was destroyed. His Majesty's palace was also soaked in big water for two days. During those few days, all the ministers went to work tremblingly, dripping water to go to court.

It would be embarrassing to tell the story. The imperial capital of a country was flooded for three days because of the corruption of upstream officials.

Fortunately, His Majesty's dragon position is as stable as Mount Tai, and various crises have been handled properly, but it has not caused turmoil in the government and the public.

His Royal Highness Jiang Yan performed extremely well in this disaster relief, which completely caught the eyes of the courtiers.

In the end, His Majesty finally agreed to move the capital, and by the way, all the officials in the upper reaches were held accountable, leaving none behind.

The folks and the common people joked that the blood of those corrupt officials and their family members and heirs would dye the upper reaches red!

This shows how many people were killed in that accident.

Wei Ci felt that it would be troublesome to set the capital twice. It would be better to choose an imperial capital that everyone is satisfied with at the beginning, and gradually build it into a more prosperous place than Maruzhou. They have experience in building Maruzhou, and it is not that difficult to build an imperial capital.

Even if he can't get out before the lord ascends to the throne, at least he can move to the new palace within two or three years after ascending to the throne, right?

Jiang Pengji: "..."

It was said that the location and capital were chosen, but Jiang Pengji was a reserved person, so she couldn't say it clearly, so she changed the words in a euphemistic way.

Everyone is her old partner, why doesn't my protagonist understand?

However, the location of the imperial capital is indeed very important, not only affecting the continuation of the entire dynasty, but also affecting the local economy.

The address should not be randomly determined. It is necessary to ensure that the imperial capital is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it must also ensure that the transportation here is developed to facilitate economic development. All in all, at this time, the magic stick that can survey the dragon's veins needs to appear.

This person proposed to build the imperial capital on the former site of the Zhongzhao imperial capital.

This place was originally the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the conditions of all parties agreed with the expectations of the big guys.

But there was also strong opposition.

What does the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties mean?

It means that six of the countries whose capitals were established here have died. Why, this is to get together to give someone away, collect all the seven dragon balls and summon the dragon?

Unlucky, very unlucky!

So, that person recommended the land near his ancestral home _(:з)∠)_

Among other things, if everything is successful, the price of land, housing, and goods will skyrocket.

Jiang Pengji sat at the top and listened to their debate, deeply suspecting that these people bought a lot of houses in those places.

Of course, this is just Jiang Pengji's ridicule. Apart from Maruzhou, there is no other place where housing prices can really go to heaven.

The construction of the imperial capital of a country is not a one-day achievement. Although the current Maruzhou is so prosperous, it is no less than any capital city in history, but it took countless people more than ten years of hard work to build it into this. If you choose a barren place to build the capital, it will cost a lot of money and manpower, and Jiang Pengji can't afford it. In terms of national defense and financial considerations, Jiang Pengji didn't have many options.

It is best to choose an ancient capital with natural dangers to rely on and a foundation for construction, and a place with tens of thousands of troops nearby.

After several rounds of intense discussions and voting, Pingfengdu, Sunzhou, which is north of Zhongzhao, was finally selected.

Most of the thirty-three counties in the ten prefectures of Zhongzhao were rich, and the capitals of the prefectures were also rich. Pingfeng, Xunzhou, was also the capital of a small country in the troubled times of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and the infrastructure was there. If Jiang Pengji made her capital here, she would be able to look like a capital after two or three years of construction.

The real development of the economy has to be done slowly after moving in, and sooner or later it will surpass Maruzhou.

If it wasn't that Maruzhou was not suitable for being an imperial capital, Jiang Pengji really didn't want to move.

After Pingfengdu was tentatively decided, everyone said that the name would be changed.

Jiang Pengji: "???"

Are you asking too much?

"It sounds fine to me."

A few insiders muttered to themselves that it's nothing more than a useless name for their protagonist, and they are so obsessed with the aesthetics of the name.

There is nothing wrong with Pingfeng, but there is a big problem in Fengdu.

Where is Fengdu?

Fengdu is also known as Fengdu. According to mythology and unofficial history, it is the entrance to the underworld and the place where people go after death.

How can there be any reason why the emperor of the world and the emperor of the underworld live in the same place with the same name?

We can't find someone to discuss with Emperor Fengdu to change his name, can we?

"so……"

The solution given by everyone is to change the name, to an auspicious name!

Oh, the lord's suggestion does not need to be adopted.

The name of the imperial capital is to be recorded in the annals of history, and they don't want to make a black history and make future generations laugh.

Jiang Pengji: "..."

Before the world is over, you are thinking of changing the name of the land thousands of miles away. Have you asked the local aborigines if they would like it?
