2023. Ambition

Zhao Dongting hasn't told a few people about moving the capital. For Lu Xiufu and others in front of him, that's no different from a bolt from the blue.

This is not a small matter, but a huge matter.

Because the location of the capital means the political and economic center of the Song Dynasty. Before, Lin'an was captured, some people advised to move the capital to Lin'an, but they were rejected by the emperor.

Now they suddenly understood why the emperor refused to move the capital to Lin'an. I'm afraid that the emperor had already had ambitions and ambitions in his heart to take down Zhongdu.

But no matter what, the emperor said that he would move the capital to Zhongdu, which surprised them.

In the Yangyang Central Plains, the two cities of Kaifeng and Lin'an are the most related to the Song Dynasty, and they are both old capitals. I thought that even if the capital was to be moved, the emperor would choose these two cities as his first choice.

"emperor."

Wang Wenfu raised his hand and said first: "I wonder why you suddenly planned to move the capital to Zhongdu?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Dongting in confusion.

Although Zhong was the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty's economy was opened to make a wish by the Song Dynasty. There are definitely no cities like Changsha and Lin'an in the Zhongdu area now that there are prosperous cities.

Furthermore, Zhongdu has never been the capital of the Song Dynasty.

The most important thing is that the Yuan Dynasty has just been defeated. I am afraid that it is not stable there.

"Is it Song Tu in the world?"

Zhao Dongting looked at Wang Wenfu and said, "I didn't have a sudden idea, but I had this idea in my heart. When Emperor Yuan surrendered to us, it would be that the Central Plains would be the entire land of our Song Dynasty. The people in the south are our people, and the people in the north are also. As the emperor, as important officials of the central cabinet, you have the responsibility to let the people in the north live a good life. And to develop the northern economy as quickly as possible, moving the capital is the fastest way."

“But that…”

Wang Wenfu frowned slightly, "I'm afraid it won't make the hearts of the people in the south."

"No. Even if there is, it's only temporary."

Zhao Dongting smiled and shook his head, "I want to move the capital to Zhongdu, and there are other reasons. This reason is more important than economic development."

As he said that he seemed to be interested in taking the exam, he said, "You might as well guess..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the seemingly nonsense smile on Zhong Jian’s face, “Lovely Zhong, why don’t you tell me why I want to move the capital to Zhongdu?”

Zhong Jian walked forward, his face full of determination, but he did not look frivolous, and bowed: "I guess that the emperor wanted to move the capital to Zhongdu, it must be related to the nomadic peoples in the north. Looking at the past and present, the people who seized the land of our Central Plains are not the northern ones such as Mongolia and Jin. They are all strong people and brave in fighting. They are indeed the enemy of our Central Plains, not comparable to Yueli, Dali and other places. The Yuan Dynasty established the capital to Zhongdu, and wanted to overlook the Central Plains and mount the north bank to look at the south of the Yangtze River. And the emperor, you moved the capital to Zhongdu, and I think..."

He said this but did not continue, as if he was a little worried.

Zhao Dongting chuckled and said, "You have kept your cover and continue to say that this is the minister of our Song Dynasty, so it's okay if you say it bluntly."

"yes."

Zhong Jian continued, "I think you have two ideas. First, it is to entrench the central government to shock the northern tribes, or to separate and Huairou policies to make it difficult for them to develop. Second, it is to use the army to advance into the grassland in the future...the sight of unprecedented...they attack the north from the south."

The last four words came out of his mouth and seemed a little strange.

Zhao Dongting also keenly captured the strange color in Zhong Jian's eyes.

Oh.

This "top scholar" he appointed was also sent to various departments to focus on the training of high-than-hope people, finally polished into jade. Moreover, it is a piece of ambitious jade.

Seeing Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu and others changing color, Zhao Dongting knew very well that in the future, the Song Dynasty would be afraid that more people would have to rely on Zhong Jian and others.

Whether it is implementing new policies or discussing new national policies, they have experienced the transition from "Old Song" to "New Song" to "New Song" and other "Old Song" people are more suitable than Lu Xiufu and others.

The knowledge and concepts in their minds must be more trendy, and they are more suitable for the current Song Dynasty. Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu and others are of course all of them are well-educated and capable, but the old thinking of the past has finally become a kind of "constraint".

For example, when they attacked the north from the south, it can be seen from their expression that they did not have such thoughts. They even dare not think about it now.

However, people like Zhong Jian can understand that with the current strength of the Song Dynasty, it is not impossible to attack the north from the south. With firearms such as the Shenlong Gun, war is no longer the world of the northern nomadic peoples.

"good."

After a little silent, Zhao Dongting suddenly laughed out loud and said, "I know my heart very well."

Then his eyes swept across the faces of Lu Xiufu and other ministers, "In the past, we all lived in the south because the soil and soil are fertile and suitable for living. We have food and clothing and self-sufficiency is not a problem. Even if it is not a prosperous era, as long as we don't fight, diligent people will always have a full meal. Only in the north, the living environment is different from that of our south. As the saying goes, if you live well, you will be reluctant to make progress. After a long time of comfort, no matter how great your ambitions and ambitions are gone. This is good, we never have

I want to fight to the north because we have nothing. They are in the north, so they come to fight us. After winning and taste the sweetness, they become more and more out of control. I simply take away the dynasty we established. No one can live forever. I can guarantee that nomadic peoples will not be able to fight in my lifetime, but I cannot guarantee that the war will not poison this land in a thousand years. Therefore, if I want to move the capital to Zhongdu, I will expand the territory of the Song Dynasty to the grassland so that people there can also have food, clothing, and use. In this way, the war will not start lightly."

Zhao Dongting dared not say that the whole world will always be in peace, because even if he traveled through the world before, wars often broke out. It was just a small-scale one.

Zhao Dongting was satisfied that he could have such peace in this world.

And he had this opportunity.

Today, the Song Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world, and it has the most advanced concept in its mind. With enough time, it is not impossible to change the entire world.

He is the king of the most powerful country and can completely drive the development direction of this world. And there should be no major resistance.

At this moment, Lu Xiufu and others had already been suppressed by Zhao Dongting's ambitions.
