Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong looked at Xiao Ji with disgust on his face: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Ji turned his ears towards him: "What did you say?"

Xiao Zirong said naturally, "Move the capital."

Looking at Xiao Ji's expression in shock, he asked, "Have you never thought about it?"

The scholars in the south have been shouting for many years to recover the lost land, and they want to go back to the north in their dreams. Why are they so shocked now?

Xiao Ji put down the water cup in his hand and said: "Moving the capital has a lot to do with it, and no one may agree."

Xiao Zirong frowned: "I thought everyone wanted to go back."

Xiao Ji was helpless: "Go back? Where are you going back?"

Of course it was back to the north.

Before Xiao Zirong could say this, he realized that he wanted to go back to the north, which was actually the behest of his ancestors. It has been 200 years since the well-dressed people who traveled to the south lived and thrived in this land. The column of ancestral home on the file is similar, and those who did not grow up in their ancestral home have no affection for it.

Everyone will want to regain the Northland, because that is the obsession of generations, but things like moving... there is a high probability that it will be a joke.

Xiao Zirong said: "But if the capital is not moved, it will not be easy to restore the economy quickly."

Unless he delineates a few places to vigorously develop the economy like the later generations, but the later generations are different from the current system.

As the so-called family world, this world belongs to their Xiao family. Xiao Zirong's efforts to prevent the epidemic recently are thanks to the tolerance of Xiao Xuan and Xiao Ji, but it is not without objections from other members of the royal family.

It's just that those offshoots don't have much say, and the royal assets have nothing to do with them.

Otherwise, even the emperor would not be able to spend such money.

In other words, it doesn't matter if the emperor wants to live a luxurious life, but if the money is spent on irrelevant people, everyone will complain.

Xiao Zirong couldn't help but muttered: "It's better to worry about Jinling."

Isn't that right, Jinling doesn't have any great families, even if there are some tyrants, they are as quiet as chickens after Xiao Zirong killed two school captains when he first arrived in Jinling.

Therefore, he implemented various policies very smoothly.

Xiao Ji said: "You can discuss it with the ministers, but this matter may take a long time, so don't worry."

Xiao Zirong said: "I didn't say that the capital is being moved now, and the epidemic over there hasn't stabilized yet."

This matter really needs to be arranged. The benefits of moving the capital to the Northland are many. The first is that it can stabilize the hearts of the people. The dual state of war and epidemic is superimposed. The people in the Northland can be said to be in dire straits. things.

The second is to drive the economy. The place where the capital is located must be prosperous. Even if it is not so prosperous at the beginning, it will become full of people after a few years.

However, apart from mentioning this matter to Xiao Ji, Xiao Zirong didn't rashly bring up this idea, but turned around and asked someone to bring the land deed.

Most of these land deeds were in the hands of the royal family and nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and some were handed over by officials to save their lives. In addition, some rich gentry sold them to them for the purpose of curing the plague. Even Xiao Zirong was a little shocked when he saw the number.

Fortunately, Yuan Ke killed himself. In the end, the Northern Wei Dynasty surrendered directly under the leadership of Yuan Jia, which can be regarded as a peaceful occupation. All the documents and records are there, and these title deeds can also be recognized.

Although the form and system are different, at most it is to conduct on-the-spot inspections according to the records on the land deed, and then convert them into documents recognized by Qi State.

After Xiao Zirong got the title deed, he turned around and went to the back to look for the Supreme Emperor.

Xiao Xuan was startled when he saw that he was being carried over with two boxes: "What is this for?"

Xiao Zirong said: "These are land deeds. I thought that although the epidemic has not been completely extinguished, the war is over, and it is time to reward meritorious deeds. I will bring these things here for you and elder brother to choose first." Pick one, and I will reward the rest."

Xiao Xuan nodded after hearing this: "Is it really time?"

If it wasn't for the fact that the plague caused them to not completely control Beidi, they would have been rewarded for their merits.

Now everyone hasn't even urged, in fact, they are too much tossed by the epidemic.

Xiao Xuan asked people to call all four members of Xiao Ji's family over, and they just sat on the ground and shared the spoils.

Xiao Ji saw Xiao Zirong's posture and knew that his younger brother was paving the way for moving the capital.

Where are these title deeds?

Chang'an, Xianyang, and Luoyang are all good land surrounding three places, and they are all first-class in terms of fertility and geographical location.

Land like this near Jiankang in Qi State is already expensive, and most of it is in the hands of aristocratic families, and they will not sell it!

Not even the six ministers of the court and the nine ministers have land near Jiankang in their hands.

After these rewards are distributed, once the capital is moved, the value of this place will double, and these bigwigs with real power in their hands will definitely agree.

Xiao Ji couldn't help feeling that his younger brother had figured out how to play tricks.

Not to mention those ministers, even he couldn't help but wonder when the capital was moved after allocating so much land.

You must know that the manor in his hand is actually quite far away from Jiankang, not to mention him, even the land in his father's hand is the same, and it can't even be compared with the aristocratic family.

Xiao Ji can't make plans for these lands yet, because he is the king of Bashan, and his official fiefdom is in Bashan. Why are you going to Jiankang to join in the fun?

Who would think that they have too much property in their hands?He doesn't have to worry about the two sons, a prince and the future King of Jinling, even if they are not the King of Jinling, neither Xiao Zirong nor Xiao Zhun will treat Xiao Cheng badly.

However, his wife just gave birth to a daughter for him two months ago, so he can be considered as having both children. When he was happy, he wanted to save some dowry for his daughter. These places are very good.

After his own family's distribution was almost the same, Xiao Zirong also kept Xiao Xuexing's share by the way, and then someone collected it.

Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you leaving too little for Ah Xing?"

Xiao Xuexing can be said to be the biggest contributor to the Northern Expedition, not only because he led people to land from the sea to make a surprise attack, but also because when the epidemic began, he disregarded safety and sat in the north to prevent the plague from spreading on a large scale. to the south.

Now that the south can live and work in peace and contentment, Xiao Xuexing can be said to have contributed the most.

Xiao Zirong said carelessly: "That's what it means, what's mine is his, it doesn't matter."

In fact, at Xiao Xuexing's stage, status and money are all the same to him, not to mention that he is already the regent, how can he reward him?

I'm afraid these rewards are not as good as Xiao Zirong agreeing to play some exciting games to make him happy.

Xiao Xuan intentionally told Xiao Zirong not to pay attention, no matter how he and Xiao Xuexing could not contract as one.

But when he thought about it, he didn't seem to have anything to tell him. If Xiao Zirong didn't take special care of money, there must be other compensation.

When did you see him treat his own people badly?

After all the family members were selected, Xiao Zirong left some good land or Zhuangzi to reward others for later use, and then notified everyone to start dividing the spoils, oh, it was rewarded on merit.

It is of course good to have good points, but in addition to money, everyone pays more attention to the promotion of officials and ranks.

But after the money was distributed...it was gone.

Everyone can't turn a corner.

Gone?This is gone?I took off my trousers and you told me it was gone?

Knowing what they were thinking, Xiao Zirong said directly: "The regent has not returned yet."

So many people turned off the fire directly. If Bei Zheng's reward for meritorious deeds was compared to pork, then the regent would definitely get the biggest piece. They all followed suit.

Of course, both the prime minister and Shang Shuling felt that the absence of the regent would not affect the promotion of officials.

However, at this time Xiao Zirong had already changed the subject and said: "I intend to move the capital to Chang'an, what do you guys think?"

Move the capital to Chang'an?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to react for a while, why did they suddenly move their capital to Chang'an?

The Minister of the Household Department came out and said: "Your Majesty, the epidemic situation in the Northland is not yet stable, and the risk of moving the capital is extremely high."

Xiao Zirong immediately said: "Of course the capital is not moved now, even if the capital is moved, Chang'an must be rebuilt."

As he spoke, he sighed: "Jiankang is difficult to reform now, and the stately capital of the country is not as prosperous as Jingkou."

What he said really touched everyone's heart. Now only one-third of Jiankang's area can be connected to electricity, and most people still don't have access to electricity, except for a few wealthy families who can buy small generators themselves.

The wiring problem has not been resolved yet.

And Chang'an is a little easier. After all, the Northern Wei Dynasty also used Luoyang as the capital at the beginning, and the population of Chang'an was almost lost. In addition, Yuan Ke moved the capital to Xianyang through a coquettish operation.

Xianyang is not so close to Chang'an, which caused Chang'an's population to drop sharply. It is much easier to start construction.

The Minister of the Household Department said casually: "Your Majesty, the treasury is out of money."

Xiao Zirong glanced at him: "You just need to discuss whether it's okay, you don't need to worry about the rest."

Crowd: ...

If it was another emperor, they would definitely persuade him, but if it were this His Majesty, they would have nothing to say.

Who doesn't know that this majesty is called a money boy, among other things, his ability to make money is first-class.

Everyone looked at the pork that had just been distributed, ah, it was land, and everyone was a little bit tangled.

The emperor is real, and the Zhuangzi given to them is really good. If Chang'an becomes the capital of the country, maybe some people from poor families can become the founders of the next family, and the small family can develop into a big family.

Chai He was a little puzzled and asked, "Why did Your Majesty choose Chang'an?"

If the capital is moved, Luoyang should be more suitable, right?After all, all the facilities are complete, and it is not impossible to rebuild.

Xiao Zirong said straightforwardly: "The Emperor Qin, Han and Wu are all near Chang'an, Xianyang!"

What's wrong with him just wanting to chase after a star?No matter what, we must go to Chang'an!

Everyone: ...here, come, the familiar willful brat is here again!

Xiao Yan was very calm, he asked directly: "How about Jiankang?"

If you move the capital, you don't care about Jiankang. At that time, the people in the north will be stable, and the people in the south will be worried. It will also have a certain impact on the economy, and even many people's livelihoods may have problems.

After all, a large number of people must leave to build Kang after the capital is moved, and the departure of these people will definitely make Jiankang depressed.

Xiao Zirong hesitated for a while before saying: "Implement the two-capital system!"
