The Three Kingdoms

"I understand that I will never let His Majesty down!"

Li Ru nodded with a firm voice.

The two discussed the issue of Rome for a long time. When Li Ru left the imperial study, it was already afternoon.

Sun Quan took a sip of his tea and continued to review the memorials. This has become his inseparable work. Reviewing a mark on each memorial, or drawing a cross with a large vermilion brush, is a very simple task. But it takes a lot of brains.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent by Xun Cifu today!"

Sima Lang came up and handed over a memorial.

Zhuge Jin had already put him in the cabinet, and Sima Lang, the governor of Luozhou, re-entered the imperial study as a political adviser.

Sima Lang is the eldest son of the Sima family in Hanoi, and he is also a rare talent. Perhaps his military ability is not as good as Sima Yi, who laid the foundation for Sima Hongtu's hegemony in history, but he is not inferior to Sima Yi in terms of government affairs.

"Xun Wenruo, he can't hold it anymore?"

Sun Quan spread out the book, looked at it, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "In that case, I will fulfill him!"

Sun Quan reviewed a Zhun word on it.

This is a report on the plan to move the capital.

The capital of a country is related to the stability of the court and cannot be moved easily. This will be a big project.

"Your Majesty, there are many people who oppose this matter, whether it is the cabinet or the military aircraft department. Are you a little impatient to start the plan at this time!" Sima Lang asked cautiously.

"is a bit!"

Sun Quan nodded and did not deny Sima Lang's statement: "However, moving the capital is related to the future strategic deployment of the imperial court. Nowadays, many policies are planned around Jinling City. It's better sooner than later!"

"The minister has been taught!"

"This is a matter that I will leave to you to take care of it, but you must remember that the work of public opinion must be done well. It must be the cabinet that proposes to move the capital, not our imperial study. What you have to do is to represent my attitude. With helpless cooperation, let the people of the world know that the matter of moving the capital is not led by the Imperial Study House, understand!"

"I understand!"

Sima Lang's eyes flickered, and he nodded respectfully to accept the order.

[Text 580 Chapter [-] Moving the Capital [-]]

The second year of Longce, April.

After the beginning of spring in April, the weather in Jiangdong at this time is full of spring breeze everywhere.

But at this time, the calm Jinling City suddenly became turbulent again. In just a few days, it was completely surrounded by waves of rumors like a storm. Discuss one thing.

"A major event has happened in the imperial court recently, have you heard of it?"

"What's the big deal?"

"Just say that you don't know. Let me tell you about it. Last month, the Yushitai inspection team checked the accounts at the household department, and found a problem!"

"This is a big deal."

"what is the problem?"

"Some people say that in some accounts of the Ministry of Accounts the year before last and last year, several huge sums of silver dollars went to unknown places, and now the whereabouts have been found out by Yushitai!"

"really?"

"Is this another corruption?"

"These corrupt officials are really not afraid of death. I'm afraid His Majesty will be enraged this time, and their heads will be rolled away again!"

"You may have guessed wrong at this moment, this matter is not corruption!"

"It's not corruption, why is that?"

"Haha, I just happen to know about this matter. Let me tell you, I heard from a cousin who was on duty in the household department that all these silver dollars were allocated to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry has invested more than 8000 yuan in the construction of Chang'an City." [-] million silver dollars!"

"how is this possible?"

"It's impossible to spend so much money on a mere Chang'an City, even if it is repaired, someone must be corrupt!"

"Aren't these corrupt officials afraid of His Majesty's butcher knife?"

"If there are corrupt officials who are greedy for ink, they would have been found out by Yushitai long ago. You are a vegetarian when you are in Yushitai!"

"How could it cost so much money!"

"You people are so petty. The funds allocated by the Ministry of Households to the Ministry of Industry are less than one-third of what was used to build Chang'an City. Last year, I traded in the Western Regions and traveled with Yongluo merchants. I heard that the Governor of Yongzhou The government wants to build Chang'an City, build Weiyang Palace City, and raise 5000 million silver dollars from these Yongluo merchants!"

"How is this possible? Even if the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion does this, the merchants in the Yongluo land may not buy it. The Yongluo merchants have a lot of money, so it is impossible to support the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion. Their money is not blown by the wind!"

"As soon as I heard you say that, I knew that you were not a businessman. Merchants have always paid attention to investment, making money with money. The Twelve Chambers of Commerce in Yongluo Land have gathered the essence of the entire Northland business community. In recent years, because With the rise of the Silk Road, the merchants in the land of Yongluo are much richer than us, if they think that investing in Chang'an City will bring benefits, they will definitely be able to raise money for a mere 5000 million silver dollars!"

"Chang'an City is just an abandoned capital of the former dynasty. What good investment is there?"

"If Chang'an City becomes the capital of our Great Wu court, think about it, the money invested by these merchants will be returned to them several times in the future. It is just that the court is grateful to them and adjusts their policies. , with the opening of the Silk Road, is it enough for them to earn back?"

"capital?"

"Will Chang'an City become the capital of our Great Wu?"

"Impossible, the capital of Great Wu is Jinling!"

"Above the imperial court, the news of the capital relocation has long been revealed. This time the Ministry of Household Audit has confirmed this point. Otherwise, why do you think the Ministry of Industry has invested so much manpower and material resources in Chang'an City!"

"I've heard the news too!"

"Furthermore, the changes in Chang'an City in the past two years have indeed been great. Those who are traveling to the west, as long as they pass by Chang'an City, they will find that no matter the scale or the grandeur, Jinling City is no longer suppressed!"

"Is this news true!"

"From this point of view, I'm afraid that the matter of moving the capital is almost inseparable!"

"..."

This storm of public opinion has become more and more violent under the manipulation of people with a heart. One spreads to ten, ten spreads to hundreds, and hundreds spreads to thousands... Many people began to deliberately pay attention to this matter.

……

Forbidden Miyagi, Cabinet.

The First Assistant Hall.

The spacious hall is the place where the chief assistant of the cabinet works. Zhu Zhiduan, who is wearing the official robe of the chief assistant of the cabinet, sits on the chair of the first assistant, looking at a memorial in his hand, frowning into a Sichuan character.
