The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 688: Moving the Capital to Zhongzhou

Who will be the crown prince and who will inherit the throne in the future has always been a headache for Xiao Rui, and sometimes he is anxious to scratch his head.

Among his three sons, except for the second son Xiao Yiming who is relatively normal, he followed his mother Zhang Ruoxi and liked to practice martial arts. The eldest son Xiao Yixuan and the third son Xiao Yiran are both geniuses, so much so that Xiao Rui wondered if they were time travelers!

For this reason, Xiao Rui tried several times and found that it was not the case. They just had high IQs, so they outperformed their peers at a very young age.

In the future, when they grow up, the selection of the throne will definitely be a big problem. Maybe the battle for the throne will have to be staged again. Xiao Rui does not want to see the tragedy of brothers killing each other.

Father, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, let's talk about it when the time comes. Xiao Rui sighed.

Emperor Xia nodded, and suddenly mentioned another matter, saying: I heard that the little emperor of Yan State was praised by the people of Yan State as a saint descended. He is extremely intelligent. He is only two or three years older than Xiao Yixuan, so he can be regarded as his peers. , I don’t know who is better than them!”

I've also heard about this matter. If Yanxi Fengquan knew about it, I would die in peace. As for who is better, it is naturally Yixuan. Xiao Rui replied.

Xiao Rui's idea is very simple, in terms of fighting for his father, naturally his son has the most advantage.

As for Yanxi Feng dying in peace?

Hmph, I don't know whether to rest my eyes or not, but it is possible to cheat the corpse.

 …

In the early morning of the next day, when Xiao Rui finished handling the political affairs and was drawing to a close, Xiao Rui ordered to change the capital of Zhao to Zhongzhou, and then moved the capital of Daxia to Zhongzhou.

The transfer of the capital was an important matter, and only the seven cabinet scholars knew about it. The other officials hadn't heard the news at all, and when they heard it with their own ears, they were in an uproar.

Moreover, Xiao Rui did not speak in a negotiating tone, but in an affirmative tone, directly asking the various government offices to prepare, and the materials and documents in the yamen can be transported to Zhongzhou first. Civil and military officials also have to prepare their bags. Of course, if they don't want to go, they can stay in the old capital.

There is no fool who can be an official, so naturally he would not choose to stay in the old capital to raise goldfish. They hurried home, collected all the bank notes at home, and then sent their confidantes to Zhongzhou.

What are you doing in Zhongzhou?

Buy land and shop!

In the future, Zhongzhou will be the land of Gyeonggi, especially the mansions outside the imperial city. Every inch of land is expensive. If you don’t grab it now, you won’t be able to grab it when the capital is actually moved.

Whoever can accumulate some family property in advance will be really prosperous.

Look at the seven cabinet scholars including Li Mingchong and Lu Yuanzheng. They have already secretly sent people to Zhongzhou to buy land. Naturally, they also include Song Ci, Fang Xuanling, and Guo Ziyi. That's the fool.

So that day, countless confidantes of the rich and powerful rushed out of the capital on fast horses with money and people.

In less than two days, hundreds of people left Kyoto with bank notes, and went to Zhongzhou to buy mansions and land. The news has not yet reached Zhongzhou, so the prices there are very cheap. In an instant, all boats rise when the tide rises. No matter how big an official is, he has a family, whoever seizes the opportunity now will be able to make a fortune.

Just like the seven Grand Masters in the cabinet.

Obviously, the seven of them knew about it beforehand, and they had already sent people to Zhongzhou. I heard that Song Ci asked friends to repay the loan some time ago. Many friends asked him if he had encountered trouble, and he hesitated with a look of embarrassment. So there was a joke that Song Ci didn't embezzle or take bribes, and guarded a mansion rewarded by His Majesty, living on that little salary, it was indeed too shabby, so that he had to borrow money to live, he was simply a poor secretary of the Ministry of punishment.

Now I understand that people borrow money not for living, but for investment.

Song Ci's friends immediately went to fight the autumn wind, and Song Ci hosted a banquet to apologize. When His Majesty did not announce the move of the capital, he did not dare to disclose the news. This is a serious crime of beheading.

And Song Ci's friends were all from rich and powerful backgrounds, so naturally they wouldn't complain about him. They were even more curious about how many houses and land Song Ci got.

Song Ci chuckled, and said, A little bit, some land, just dozens of houses.

Although he didn't say it clearly, his friends all understand that these dozens of houses are all in good locations close to the imperial city, and the price in the future will be immeasurable. As for those lands, who knows how many there are. With this investment alone, Song Ci directly became a small rich man who moved the capital.

After all, Song Ci came from a poor family. People like Meng Tianhai, Fang Xuanling, Li Mingyang, and Lu Yuanzheng, Minister of Rites, were the ones who made big fortunes. They had already grabbed good locations and became rich.

Xiao Rui naturally knew these things, and he was an important minister who helped him govern the world, so he naturally acquiesced in these things. It's all about making money anyway, why not let your own people make money?

But, when it comes to making the most money, it's not the cabinet scholars, but Xiao He and Shen Wansan.

The relocation of the capital will only kill them at first. They hold Daxia Bank and Huangtian Group in their hands, and they have a lot of money, so they immediately started buying, buying, and buying in Zhongzhou. Except for the royal land, they can be seen a little bit. Buy all the eye-catching lots.

These are treasures that have appreciated in value, and if they turn around and sell them to dignitaries, the Huangtian Group will get a lucrative reward. Naturally, Xiao Rui's internal money will not be lonely.

Shen Wansan has roughly calculated that this relocation can bring 20 to 30 million profits to Xiao Rui's internal funds, which is equivalent to collecting the wool of a wealthy family. Even if they are unwilling, they still have to pay.

Officials, if they are separated from the core areas of the country, they will be marginalized, so land and houses must be bought, and this unjust money must be paid.

In the next period of time, all the government offices in the capital became busy and began to relocate. For this reason, Xiao Rui mobilized 80,000 soldiers and horses to coordinate with the relocation of the capital.

The documents and materials of various government offices were transported there first, and the officials were also packing their bags and moving with their families. The main staff of a group of government offices will go first.

Xiao Rui's palace is also busy, and most of the things have to be moved there. This is a huge project. Xiao Rui set aside a month for cleaning, but it is estimated that it will not be finished in a month.

The great feat of moving the capital of Great Xia also spread to Yuan and Yan, and they had different ideas.

Temujin regretted not catching Guo Jia, he was so angry that he smashed many treasures in the imperial court, and it was hard to get rid of the hatred in his heart.

The person who treated each other with sincerity, even married his younger sister to her as a family member, and was rewarded as a master of the great country, turned out to be a counselor of the enemy country!

This heavy blow not only stunned Temujin, but also reduced him to a joke in the grassland. Many tribes whispered:

Hey, Temujin can be a Khan, so he was supported by Xia Guo!

Yeah, yeah, maybe he has taken refuge in Xia Guo long ago, recognized a thief as his father, and treated him like a dog, that's why he became a Khan!

We Yuan people are wolves in the grassland, but we didn't expect the current Khan to be a dog!

 …

Discussions spread everywhere and reached Temujin's ears. He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but he finally endured it.

How could his great Grassland Khan take refuge in Xia Kingdom! The emperor of Xia Kingdom wishful thinking!

Who knows...
