Yang Yingqi had to admit that Ouyang Shi was very good at dealing with people's livelihood and business issues, and within his jurisdiction, a certain type of person could always burst out with action that could not be broken out in normal ways. Although Chen Zhenghui and Li Jie always thought that Ouyang Shi and the group he led were not very clean, and what they did was always more or less greasy and gray areas, and it was not the way for a big country to seek the future, but in a certain period, this "sewage" group could always come up with achievements that the "clean water" group could not do.

Not to mention the development of the far Ruliuqiu, the near such as the construction of the capital, basically with the entire Mobei War, the Western Xia War at the same time, without the financial support of the Han Dynasty, Ouyang Shi led the team was still able to rush to complete the construction of the inner city of the new capital before 1686, this kind of mobilization of private capital even Yang Yingqi could not help but admire.

The inner city of the new capital of the Han Empire, in addition to the imperial palace and official offices, also included the garrison of the forbidden army, landmark buildings such as the Temple of Heaven, the Dahua Altar, and the Great Siyue Palace, as well as educational buildings such as the New Taixue, the New Military Academy, and the New Political School -- all of which were mainly built by Ouyang Shi with fundraising. As for religious sites, Ouyang Shi only left a few plots of land according to the plan, and the monks and Taoist imams who had their own Buddhist gates, Taoist gates, and halal monks and Taoist imams raised money to buy land, and built Zen Buddhist temples, Tiantai Buddhist temples, Tibetan Buddhist temples, southern Taoist temples, northern Taoist temples and mosques respectively. In addition, the land in the commercial area has long been snapped up, even if the internal and external situation of the Han Dynasty was still unclear at that time, but those businessmen who dared to take risks still took out a large amount of money to invest, Ouyang Shi just sold these commercial areas The money obtained from selling these commercial areas was enough to offset nearly thirty percent of the cost of building the capital - even so, Chen Zhenghui privately guessed that Ouyang Shi had made a lot of benefits from it - then the price of these lands can be imagined. At the time of the land auction, some merchants who were not optimistic about the prospects of Dahan thought that the money was not worth the money invested by those who took the risk, but now they know that they were wrong! On the day of the Western Xia victory, land prices in the Xindu business district immediately doubled, and in the following year, as the Han Empire's economy recovered and showed signs of reaching a new peak, the land prices in the Xindu business district also rose correspondingly.

Ouyang Shi also attached an article to the auction of the land, requiring merchants to build houses within three months of buying the land, and no blank spaces were allowed to be left behind, so as to match the progress of the construction of the entire new capital. Therefore, by the time the spring of 1686 was ordered to move the capital, several major commercial streets in Xindu had already been lined up. Private businessmen never pay attention to formalism, after the house is completed, they will not sit and wait for the relocation of the capital to be fully completed, but make a day's money, so during the construction of the new capital, the officials have not moved in, they will do the lower class of money first, the shops that opened early are mainly the business of construction workers and related merchants before the Chinese New Year, and those shops with a magnificent appearance are usually patronized by some mud legs and nouveau riche in the construction of the new capital. Since the beginning of spring, not only have more and more people moved in, but many people in the Gyeonggi area, especially Tanggu in the east, have rushed to see the new city before anyone else, so the level of customers has gradually changed. However, for the merchants, whether it is the business of the early construction workers or the business of the recent tourists, it is just an appetizer that is better than nothing, and they all know that the real feast is behind - all the merchants are waiting for the order to move the capital to Orihiko!

In February 1686, the forbidden army hand-picked by Zheyan Chong was stationed in the nine gates of the new capital under the leadership of An Tahai, and at the same time, the technical supervision department sent by the prime minister completed the last round of inspection of the new capital, and some departments moved in one after another to make final preparations for the comprehensive relocation of the capital. At the same time, the migration of the people was also underway: the families of officials, the students of Taixue, the nouveau riche of business, and the three sects and nine streams who wanted to cling to this new capital for a living. Among the immigrants of all shapes, a group of people from Liaodong are particularly eye-catching, this group of people is the founder of the foundation of the Han Empire, and the veterans of the Han Dynasty, such as Gu Sister-in-law, Zhang Laoyu, etc., are among them, including the families of those veteran generals stationed in the frontier. It is precisely because of their existence that this new capital is completely monopolized by the upstarts, and it is only when people see that there is still a relationship between today's Han Empire and the former Han Dynasty.

On the third day of March 1686, Zhe Yan Chong officially ordered the relocation of the capital, set the name of the Beijing Division, delivered wine and meat during the day, and set off fireworks at night.

After the relocation of the capital, the imperial palace and the prime minister's mansion were separated, and there was no longer only one wall separated from the temporary palace and the temporary prime minister's mansion in Tanggu. According to the planning map given to Ouyang Shi by Yang Yingqi, the palace of the new capital is far smaller than the palace of Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty. The entire capital sits in the north and faces south, with the imperial city located in the north as the core, and spreads out to the south, east, and west with the topography. As soon as the imperial city expanded, the pattern of the entire new capital had to change greatly. At this time, Yang Yingqi was busy cleaning up the aftermath of the Mobei and Western Xia wars, and was busy with the major events of the Southern Song Dynasty and economic recovery, so he couldn't spare his hand to interfere in this matter, and Ouyang Shi had the appointment given to him by Zhe Yanchong in his hands, and Yang Yingqi was not allowed to interfere in this matter.

However, after the completion of the new capital, Yang Yingqi found that the capital was better than he expected, especially in the planning of the business district, Ouyang Shi's thinking was undoubtedly more flexible. Although they also sent a large number of students, subordinates, soldiers, and all kinds of relevant personnel to inspect the terrain on the spot, and the planning of the Imperial Palace, Huabiao Altar, Siyue Palace, etc., it was too rigid in the planning of the commercial district -- they actually thought about what to sell here and what to sell there in each street. Ouyang Shi didn't care about this, and directly demarcated the land, only stipulating what not to do, and not caring about things other than prohibitions. The practical wisdom of thousands of businessmen is by no means imaginable by scholars and officials, so the business district formed by them according to their needs is the most pleasant and convenient place to live in the whole new capital. Yang Yingqi is a pragmatic person after all, seeing this pattern of following commercial rules rather than administrative rules, he can't help but sigh that the pragmatic Ouyang Shi is actually above himself.

However, for the palace, Yang Yingqi still has dissatisfaction in his heart. According to Ouyang Shi's entire plan, the palace that has been built now is actually less than one-third of the entire palace, and there is still nearly two-thirds of the depth left in the north.

Not only was Yang Yingqi dissatisfied, but Wan Yanhu also felt very unaccustomed. She already felt that the big house in Tanggu was too big, and now this palace was ten times bigger than the Tanggu Palace! Zheyan rushed to today is only a wife, and there are no eunuchs in the palace, and there are more than one or two hundred maids and miscellaneous guards combined.

The question of the "emptiness" of the palace was quickly raised, and how to solve this emptiness? An unavoidable solution is to add people to it, so after moving the capital, Liu Cao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, immediately went to the table and asked the emperor to select a girl according to the rites, set up three palaces and six courts, concubines and nobles, and restore the eunuch system in the inner court to prevent chaos in the palace.

As soon as this recital was put on, it was full of uproar. The issue of the selection of the three palaces and six courts, concubines and nobles has been put on hold for the time being-after all, this involves the wishes of Zhi Yanchong, and before they figure it out, it is not good for everyone to hastily touch Zhi Yanchong's tiger whiskers, not to mention that it is also common for people to have three wives and four concubines, and the representatives of the officials have little opinion on how many wives the emperor has to have, so the controversy over Liu Cao's performance is mainly focused on the issue of eunuchs.

In the official textbooks that have been used in the Han Empire for more than ten years, the eunuch system has long been denounced as an extremely unrighteous system, and since the Han and Tang dynasties, eunuchs have always been the mortal enemies of the civil and official groups. The Great Song Dynasty handled the issue of eunuchs relatively well, but in the end, it was just a strict restriction, and if Zhao Ji relaxed his vigilance a little, Tong Guan and Yang Jian would be a disaster to the world? Therefore, Yang Yingqi's suggestion to strictly prohibit the establishment of eunuchs was immediately unanimously recognized by the government and the opposition, and the scholars even regarded it as one of the most important indicators for judging the Han and Song dynasties.

But now that Liu Cao suddenly proposed to re-establish the eunuch system, how can it not arouse the vigilance and anger of officials and scholars in the government and the opposition? was blamed for a while, and Liu Cao, who had a bad official reputation, was considered to have worn the hat of "traitorous minister" after this incident. Fortunately, Zhi Yanchong used his previous merits to exonerate him, and he was able to keep the black yarn hat under the impeachment of the imperial history, but the proposal to set up eunuchs was also put to rest, and the financial situation of the Han Dynasty was still not relaxed, and there were still a lot of debts to be repaid, so the proposal to draft a girl to expand the court was also put on hold.

In the middle of March, Qin Tianjian chose a good day and an auspicious day, Zhi Yanchong led a hundred officials to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens, the next day to meet the representatives of the Yuan people in the Siyue Palace, the third day to the Lifan Yuan to receive the vassal countries to congratulate, the fourth day to the Huabiao Altar to meet the residents of the new capital and the people from other places to meet the court, and to accept the blessings of 100 old people over eighty years old, to the fifth day to review the forbidden army in the square of the main gate of the palace, to accept the allegiance of the soldiers of the three armies.

At this point, the entire New Capital Ceremony came to an end, the capital gradually returned to tranquility, and the work of the Han government also returned to normal.
