Chapter 446: Move the capital?
"Your Majesty, it's so late, you can rest early."
In the Queen's Palace, I just went to see the child who had already fallen asleep. Queen Li Juaner returned to the palace and saw Zhu Yicheng still sitting and looking at the memorial, and couldn't help but persuade her.
"Stay after reading these. If you are tired, go to bed first, don't wait for me." Zhu Yicheng looked up and said, then continued to look around.
Li Juan'er didn't say anything and turned around and left. I don't know how long it took, but Zhu Yicheng, who was so sensation about it, suddenly smelled a scent and was a little hungry.
When I looked up, I saw Li Juaner walking in with a bowl of things. The fragrance floated out of the bowl she was holding.
"ravioli?"
Li Juan'er smiled and nodded and said, "I think the emperor must be hungry. I just cooked a bowl of wontons for you and used chicken soup as the soup base. The shrimp filling is wrapped in it. You can try it."
Smelling the tempting fragrance, Zhu Yicheng's index finger suddenly moved, and he couldn't wait to take the bowl and sniff it first, then spooned it and put it in front of his mouth and took a bite. The delicious mixed with chicken soup, fresh shrimp, and pork with suitable fat and thin pork exploded directly in the taste buds, and Zhu Yicheng immediately praised it.
"Okay! This tastes good!" Zhu Yicheng ate a few times in a row, and said to Li Juan'er with a smile: "You are intent, I like this."
"It's good if the emperor likes it." Li Juan'er sat aside with a smile, watching Zhu Yicheng finish eating the wontons, and when he put down the bowl, he went forward to clean up.
"No need, let's get rid of it later." Zhu Yicheng said, then asked Li Juaner to sit down beside him, and then asked: "Juaner, I want to ask you something."
"What the emperor wants to ask, I will definitely tell you everything."
"Haha, it's not a big deal, I just want to talk to you casually." Zhu Yicheng held Li Juan'er's hand and gently patted her back.
"This Beijing city has been built. Beijing is the capital of my Ming Dynasty. Although I have restored Ming from Nanjing, taking over Beijing is not only of great significance, but also a major event for restoring Beijing. A few days ago, you will follow me to sacrifice to Xiaoling and worship, so you should know the importance of Beijing. Next, I have begun to open up the north and south and restore my Shenzhou. Do I want to ask, do you think I will continue to regard Nanjing as the capital? Or Beijing as the capital?"
"This..." Li Juan'er didn't expect Zhu Yicheng to ask this question and was stunned for a moment.
"The Emperor, as the Empress, I am the Emperor, and I command the harem. This matter is a state affairs, so it is better to ask the Emperor about the outer court."
"You, you are so careful when you become a queen. This is not like you in the past." Zhu Yicheng smiled and shook his head, patted her hand and said, "It's okay, you, I, and my husband, and I, and the private couples are all in business and business. Where to live, what houses and courtyards to buy? Don't the couple discuss it themselves by closing the door? Although both capitals are capitals, where to live, it's not a family matter."
Li Juaner hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to answer this question at first. After all, she is the queen now, not Li Juaner at the time. However, since Zhu Yicheng asked this, she didn't say it. She thought for a while and said, "I have read the history books. All the dynasties in the books have a longer aura. Perhaps it was because the dragon energy was in the north and Chengzu chose Beijing as the capital back then."
Hearing this, Zhu Yicheng nodded slightly. In fact, after Beijing was taken down, many people in the court had begun to prepare to propose moving the capital. Although Nanjing is good, it is also the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. As Li Juaner said, in history, the Southern Dynasties have always been inferior to the Northern Dynasties, and the dragon energy is even more in the north than in the south.
If the country's destiny is stable, it is more secure for this capital city. What's more, the Ming Dynasty was originally a two-Beijing system, one in the south and one in the north, Beijing was Shuntian and Nanjing was Yingtian, but Beijing was the main one in Nanjing as the auxiliary one.
However, now that Beijing is about to move the capital in an initial state, it is too early to officially move the capital. At least it must wait until the Ming army completely opens up the north and the north to stabilize the north before it can move the capital.
"Is the emperor planning to move the capital to Beijing?" Li Juaner could see Zhu Yicheng's thoughts at a glance, otherwise she wouldn't have said that just now.
Li Juan'er is an extremely smart woman, otherwise she would not have helped Zhu Yicheng win people's hearts under Yuan Qi's nose. In the end, Zhu Yicheng formed the original team and achieved today's results.
"That's right!" Zhu Yicheng did not hide anything from Li Juan'er, and immediately nodded, "But this matter is still early, at least it will take until the north-south connection before the capital can be moved. Now it's just a private discussion, you don't need to think too much. Besides, whether it's Beijing or Nanjing, aren't this your own home?"
"What the emperor said is that as long as I stay with the emperor, it doesn't matter whether it is north or south. If I can see the emperor, I will be satisfied."
Zhu Yicheng hugged Li Juan'er into her arms and said something softly in her ear. In the candlelight, Li Juan'er's face became more and more red...
On this day, some wealthy businessmen were drinking and gathering in the largest restaurant in Nanjing.
With the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the continuous prosperity of sea trade, and the decline of the Qing court, the city of Nanjing became more lively.
Over the years, the Ming Dynasty's income has increased dramatically. Although it has been using troops, the Ming Dynasty has not exploited the local area at all. All taxes are properly formulated and the court has strict supervision. Although officials cannot be said to be honest and dedicated, most of them are qualified. Moreover, the court has always supported the people's wisdom. In addition, the prosperity of business stimulates the mainland market, and the lives of ordinary people are better day by day. As long as ordinary families are willing to work hard, food and clothing will not be a problem. If they dare to make a breakthrough, it is not difficult to make some efforts in Shanghai or Hong Kong in the south.
Some of them are even brave enough to open workshops, do business, and even follow the chamber of commerce fleet to fight for wealth. As long as they don’t die at sea, there are many people who get rich overnight. Not to mention the wealthy merchants in Ningbo Commercial Bank who first defected to the Ming Dynasty, even among the merchants who invested in sea trade in the past two years, there are many people who are worth millions.
Of course, this is inseparable from Zhu Yicheng's support. The rise of maritime trade has continuously stimulated domestic business and made farmers who dig out of the soil live much easier. Land annexation has always been an unavoidable problem in Chinese history. Using foreign commerce to alleviate land annexation and formulated a series of land laws. This is also a test of Zhu Yicheng's attempt to change this problem.
The effect is still good in a short period of time, but I don’t know what will happen after a long time. However, the Chinese have always had a tradition of being unable to leave their hometowns and returning to their roots. In addition, the desire and demand for land have been restricted by the imperial court, but the Chinese have never lacked smart people. Among those who have made money, there are many people who buy property in their hometowns.
"Have you heard of it?"
"What's the matter?"
"It is said that some adults in the court have already proposed that the emperor move the capital to Beijing."
"It seems that this is the case. Is the emperor really planning to move the capital?"
