At the end of the vigorous ceremony of entering the city, the ministers generally disperse on their own, which is the custom. Yang Tong will not deal with government affairs on the day of his return, and if it is not necessary, the ministers will not bother on this day.

However, today broke the convention of living, and Yang Gongren and other important ministers followed all the way to the Qin Palace, where Yang Tong lived. Yang Tong thought that they had something important to report, so he took a group of people to the main hall of the palace.

The crowd sat still.

Yang Gongren said: "Shengshang, Luoyang is located in the middle of the world, and the capital is built in the heart of the country, which is conducive to the control of the Quartet, and forms an effective control of the world politically and militarily. It is also convenient for the rapid access of government decrees, local pilgrimages and payment of tributes, reflecting the positive and progressive spirit of the imperial industry and the spirit of justice without favoritism. ”

"The Qin and Han dynasties built the capital of Guanzhong, and it is one thing to retreat for self-defense, but if there is no priority guarantee for the food produced by the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, it will not be able to gain a foothold. During the period from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, wars were frequent in the world, and the water conservancy facilities of Zhengguo Canal and Baiqu, which were the lifeblood of agriculture in Guanzhong, were in disrepair for a long time, and due to factors such as the undercutting of the riverbed, the irrigation area was reduced by three-quarters, and even nine-tenths in serious cases, resulting in a sharp decline in output, making the grain supply in Guanzhong difficult, and having to rely heavily on the grain transported from Dongguan in the trough. After the Great Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen and unified the world, the grain in Guanzhong, which was "narrow and multiplying", was far from being able to meet the needs of a huge number of central officials, garrisons, and a large number of people who entered Beijing to settle down, and the supply was extremely difficult, and the grain from the southeast could be transferred to Luoyang, but it was necessary to use the land route to bypass the natural danger of Sanmenxia when it was transferred to Daxing, which was limited in volume and time-consuming, and when it arrived in Daxing, the price of a bucket of rice soared by more than ten or twenty times, and the gains outweighed the losses. In ordinary times, the supply can barely be satisfied, and in the event of a famine, even the officials eat is a problem, such as the fourteenth year of the emperor, the drought in Guanzhong and the hunger, Emperor Wen had to personally lead the officials and people in Guanzhong to eat in Luoyang, and go to Luoyang, the rich Kwantung Economic Zone, to solve the problem of eating, this news has become a laughing stock in the Western Regions, and the Turks even laughed at Emperor Wen as 'the son of heaven chasing grain'. This is still a peaceful era, but if the war is together, the Kwantung is controlled by the enemy, and no grain from the Kwantung region can enter the pass, and after our army occupies the state and controls the Yellow River, the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty is the best example of the grain of the East. ”

"Compared with Guanzhong, Luoyang is close to Jizhou, Youzhou, Liaodong, Jianghuai, Jiangnan and other important grain-producing areas, and the grain from all over the country can be transported by sea, especially after the canal is dredged, it is more convenient! This is the capital of the country, and there is no risk of food shortage. And because of the convenient water conservancy conditions, if there is chaos on either side, the soldiers, weapons, and food can board the merchant ships and sail to the front line, and when they arrive at the battlefield, the soldiers can immediately enter the battlefield with six or seven percent of their combat strength, and they do not have to worry about logistics. ”

"Emperor Wu built the Eastern Capital, although there were political, military, cultural, geographical, and even Guanlong Group and other factors, but when the Eastern Capital was built, the world was peaceful, the country and the people were safe, so the minister believed that Emperor Wu paid the most attention to the most realistic food problem, without sufficient food security, the national capital could not form a center, and even led to the country becoming the laughing stock of the world, and the dignity was lost. As for the heart of the world and the Quartet, this factor is secondary; Although the Guanlong Group is powerful, it does not seem to be too important compared to the peaceful environment at that time and Emperor Wu's control of the world. ”

When Yang Tong heard this, he roughly understood what Yang Gongren meant, and asked with a smile: "Listening to what my uncle meant, did someone have a different opinion on the place where the national capital was established?" ”

"Exactly!" Yang Gongren nodded.

Yang Tong asked curiously, "What are the places mentioned?" ”

"There are really a lot of places proposed, some people say that Zhuo County is the starting place of the saint, there is Yan Mountain in the north, Taihang Mountain in the west as a barrier, and it can deter foreign races in the north and northeast, it is the first choice of the national capital, but the ministers think that Zhuo County is too far away for Liangzhou, Bashu, Jiangnan, Lingnan, if the world is unified, any of these four realms have changed, thanks to the convenience of the eagle letter, Zhuo County may receive the news in time, but when the imperial army is in place, I am afraid that the rebels have already possessed the whole state, even if it is pacified afterwards, but it will take time, The loss of manpower and material resources is innumerable, and the ministers think that Zhuojun is not the capital of the country; Some people also say that Taiyuan is good, but its problems are similar to Guanzhong, there is a danger of lack of food, rather than the capital of Taiyuan, it is better to be in Guanzhong, after all, Guanzhong is more conducive to controlling the Silk Road, the cultural heritage is stronger than Taiyuan, and the direction of food has Bashu as a backup! It can also be transferred through the Han River to enter the customs with grain from the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Taiyuan and Zhuojun can't either!" Although Zhuojun became the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was definitely not suitable for the Great Sui, and Yang Tong vetoed it without hesitation.

Yang Gongren said: "Compared with Taiyuan and Zhuojun, there are the most people who support Yecheng!" Because it is convenient for Zhangshui, canals, and the Yellow River, and is close to the Liaodong Plain, which is a major grain producing area, there is no need to worry about food problems. ”

"Although Yecheng is good, it is still not conducive to the use of soldiers." Yang Tong shook his head and said: "When fighting the Battle of Guanzhong and the Battle of Liangzhou, I felt that the dispatch was slow, especially the Battle of Guanzhong, we had been dispatching for more than half a year, if it weren't for the Liang division to cover up, Li Yuan would not have let Li Shimin lead the main force to fight Xue Ju, let alone fight with us in Guanzhong, where the army was empty, and we would not be able to get a surprise effect!" ”

"Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, with mountains and rivers, Qinling Mountains in the west, Songyue in the east, Taihang in the north, and the risk of the Yellow River; Looking at the barberry in the south, there is the rao of Wanye. The rivers and mountains are arched, and the situation is the best in the world. ”

"In terms of dragon potential, the dragon vein of Luoyang starts from Songshan, crosses the gorge and sometimes goes north, and becomes Ganglong. After starting, it is divided into a knot, and the north mountain is supported behind. Although the mountain is not high, it is winding and long. Suddenly start the Shouyang Mountain, reflect the next head, and end in the Yellow River in Gongxian County. Songshan extracts the middle dry, from the imperial mausoleum, and the mountain divides out a branch to the black stone pass, which is the mouth of the water. The middle is expanded to the hall bureau, and the four mountains are tightly arched, the front peak is Xiuzhi, Yi and Luo converge in front, this is the right boundary water of the dragon. Rivers such as Chousang, Hongnong, Haoyang and so on are the left boundary water, flow into the Yellow River, after going around the north, the Luohe River is melodious, to Gongxian County and merge with the Yellow River, it can really be described as a metropolis. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent, and one or two looked at Yang Tong incredulously.

"Am I wrong again?" Yang Tong's heart is weak, he is so dignified, what kind of dragon is it, isn't this sending his face up to be pumped?

Kong Yingda said with a smile: "The saint is not wrong! It's too well said, no one has said Luoyang Longshi in such detail. The words of the saint should be the first of the Luoyang dragon theory! ”

"That's it!" Yang Tong smiled, put his mind at ease, and continued: "The capital of my Great Sui is set in Luoyang, and there is no need to discuss this kind of thing in the future!" ”

"There is a unique Luoyang dragon power of the saint, and the opponents must be convinced!"

"......" Yang Tong was speechless, what you mean is: The dragon potential and dragon veins are all fake, and they are completely Lao Tzu's bull blowing well.

"By the way, it's only been a few days since I left Luoyang, what's going on with this big move, uh, a big construction project?"

Yang Gongren said with a smile: "Shengshang, the ministers know that the Shengshang has always set the imperial capital in Luoyang, and they are also very supportive, but Luoyang has been worse than once after years of war, this Tang Zheng battle, the city walls, city gates, and city towers have been damaged to a certain extent, of course, they must be repaired!" Of course, the imperial capital must have the atmosphere of the imperial capital, the canals and rivers in the city should be dredged, the Luoshui River embankment should be reinforced, and the streets and streets in the city should be paved with bluestone like Yecheng; On rainy days, thousands of streets do not accumulate water, shoes do not get mud, and when there is a drought, the city does not raise dust, which is the most basic requirement. ”

Jiang Xingben, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, continued: "The Imperial City part of Ziwei City has always been a place for civil and military officials to govern, but when the first emperor built the layout, he considered the official system at that time, and the current official system of my Great Sui is different. Shangshu Province used to be located in the east of Ziwei City, far away from the palace city and the imperial city, but the ministers and others all thought that Shangshu Province was the core of our dynasty, and it should be moved into the imperial city to work, not only to report various affairs to the nearest saint and accept the call of the saint in time, but also to save a lot of time and improve work efficiency! Other departments such as the Twelve Guards and the Nine Temples also need to be adjusted, so that there are many unreasonable official buildings that need to be demolished and rebuilt! Considering that there may be a new division-level yamen in the future, there may be some official buildings in the location of each ministry to be pre-set, but in this way it is necessary to make a big move, and finally the ministers and others agreed that it is better to build than to build, so they simply demolished all of them, and strived to do it in one step, so that all roads can be the central yamen of each ministry, and all main streets can quickly reach the three major halls of Miyagi. ”

The Sui Dynasty, like the Qin Dynasty, was a dynasty that alternated between the old and the new, and the new political system was gradually expelling the decaying old system, while the three provinces and nine ministries system was the core, and the general direction remained unchanged, but there must be the birth of sub-departments in the future.

"The conditioning of the Imperial City is very necessary, and your consideration is also very thorough, I have no opinion!" The imperial city was all demolished, and there was no reason for the ministers not to move the palace where the emperor lived, Yang Tong said with a smile: "If it is not unified today, and the recovered places are all in ruins, there is no need to make a big move in the palace city, just repair it a little." ”

Kong Yingda immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Although the palace city has not been tragically destroyed, after all, it has been lived by thieves, which is very unlucky. ”

"That's not necessary!" Yang Tong smiled bitterly, although he did not stay in Ziwei City, he also went inside, although it was not intact, but Wang Shichong did not cause damage to it.

"Holy!" When Wei Zheng heard Yang Tong's words, his black face looked quite dark, and he arched his hand and said: "Since ancient times, the imperial capital and the imperial palace have been the face of a dynasty, and Ziwei City not only represents the saint, but also represents my Great Sui. Although the world is not unified, it is a matter of time, and besides, the three Eastern Turkic tribes, the Western Turkic tribes, the Western Regions countries, the Southern Murwei, the Jin Ya, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje are all respected by the Great Sui, if Luoyang and Ziwei Palace are too shabby, wouldn't it be a joke? Therefore, the minister felt that the cost in this area was very necessary, not only could not be saved, but also had to do his best to do it! ”

"......" Yang Tong looked at Wei Zheng speechlessly, is this Wei Zheng the same Wei Zheng? It deserves serious study.

Wei Yunqi, a servant in Shangshu who was in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Commerce, also supported: "What Xuan Cheng said is very true, Holy Lord, my Great Sui Iron Army has won many battles over the years, and at the end of each battle, it has received a large amount of war compensation, except for the use of bereavement rewards for soldiers and settling the people, there is a large surplus, and the treasury has always been extremely full. In particular, the wealth taken from the Goguryeo Imperial Palace and the Guanlong Hao clan is piled up. Even if you want to save it, there is no need to save on the construction of the imperial capital and the imperial palace! ”

Yang Shidao, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who was in charge of money, arched his hand and said: "Shengshang, thanks to the strong support of the first emperor, we have not been short of money or food from the beginning, and we have never worried about weapons and equipment; Plus blackmail all the time, uh, all the way to war reparations...... As a result, the Great Sui has never encountered a loss-making battle, anyway, the minister has been in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for so many years, and he has never worried about the treasury. ”

Everyone laughed.

"It's just that adhering to the strategic reserve tenet of the Holy Lord's 'enough food for every family in three years of famine', we didn't let go of our hands and feet... My Da Sui is very rich, and he really doesn't have bad money! ”

Yang Shidao is not wrong at all, if others say that it is not bad money, it is pretending to be forced, but when it comes to Yang Tong, it is really like this.

The main reason is that his starting capital is shockingly rich, in addition to Luoyang's Luokoucang, Changping, Taicang and Ziwei Palace wealth vacated for him, there are also Liyang Cang, Zhuojun Cang, and Linyu Palace Cang are all owned by him!

And Yang Guang for the third expedition to Goguryeo, prepared enough money, food and weapons for a million troops for a year, which were all lost in Beiping County, and this battle was naturally unable to be fought later, so it was guarded by Li Jing in Beiping, and finally all fell into the hands of Yang Dong. And the grain and armament of Jinyang Warehouse, which Li Yuan relied on in history, was also moved to Hengshan County by Wang Wei!

With this rich family wealth as the foundation, where did Yang Tong use to worry about money and food at the beginning of his career? After that, he swept across the territory in general, and the wealth he seized was not only used for pension rewards and blood supply for the construction of the country, but also a large amount of surplus, and he made a lot of money every time, and the money naturally accumulated more and more.

And all this in front of him, thanks to the abundant capital left by Yang Guang, if there is no these, even if Yang Tong still wins repeatedly, he will need to stop the pace of conquest from time to time due to lack of money and food, so it is impossible to develop so fast and so well...... Looking back one by one at this moment, Yang Tong is full of deep gratitude to the grandfather who died by self-immolation.

"Since the imperial capital has been decided, let's implement it as soon as possible!" Seeing that everyone said that it was not bad for money, Yang Tong was too lazy to be hypocritical again and again, one is that it is not his nature to be rich and cry poor; The most important thing is: if he, the emperor, does not enjoy it, and the courtiers dare not enjoy it, they work hard, but they can't enjoy the joy of success, what motivation do they have to serve the country conscientiously and dutifully in the future?

Therefore, sometimes, the emperor's extreme desire for poverty and luxury is also a manifestation of contributing to the country. At least it can bring everyone's enthusiasm for doing things and the heart of competition! It is human nature to chase fame and fortune, Yang Tong does not prohibit it, nor can he prohibit it, as long as the other party behaves correctly and walks properly, no one says irresponsible things, but praises this person for being self-motivated! Capable! Regard it as a benchmark in life.

"No!"

"By the way, is there a complete solution?" The face of the Great Sui was not given by Luoyang and Ziwei Palace, but by thousands of soldiers holding sharp knives in their hands and fighting for it back with their blood and lives.

"Holy Heaven!" Jiang Xingben, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who was in charge of this matter, immediately said: "The imperial court decided to transfer 500,000 people from slaves and slave soldiers from all over the country, these people are responsible for digging, carrying wood and stone waste and other heavy work, with 100 people as a working group, there are prescribed tasks every day, and only after doing it can you get the corresponding food, if you can't finish it, 100 people will have no food to eat, and arrange Jin Wuwei to be responsible for supervision and management, and severely punish those who don't work and want to steal other people's food, and even kill them on the spot!" Of course, the foreman and two deputies of the hundred-man team had certain advantages, and if they actively cooperated with Jin Wuwei's management, they would not have to work, so that a situation was formed in which the slaves managed each other, and it was easier for them to accept the other slaves by managing their own people. ”

Looking at Jiang Xingben's tacit expression, the corners of Yang Tong's mouth twitched a few times, in fact, this set has been implemented in the slave team, and according to the logic of everyone's 'non-mine race, their hearts must be different', not only do you just eat and not give money, but you can also use it in death, and you don't have to lose money when you die. This is how the Great Sui Great Wall and the various open official roads in the territory come, although it is an exaggeration to say that the white bone shop is white, but the number of dead and wounded is unimaginably high. But, what does this have to do with the people of the Great Sui? Yes, that is, it is more convenient and convenient to travel.

In addition, some people were also recruited, but they did light work, these people are also a team of 100 people, the local people can be with the people of the neighborhood as a team, and choose a respected person as the foreman, and the displaced people from the surrounding area are formed by the imperial court, and the foreman is appointed, and there are specified tasks every day, if you can't complete the prescribed tasks, 100 people have no wages to get, but in terms of food, they are enough! At first, there were some lazy bastards who joined the ranks of the disaster victims, who usually did not work, but ate and cheated money, and the people were the first to dare to be angry and dare not speak, and after Jin Wuwei cut dozens of them, the people dared to take the initiative to report, but after that, they were all thrown into the ranks of slaves, so that they could taste what hellish life is. ”

"Very good......" Yang Tong didn't know how to express his mood at the moment, it made sense, I was speechless.

"In terms of wages, they are distributed by the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs every day, and the officials of the Criminal Department and the Imperial Department are responsible for supervising them to avoid the occurrence of self-theft and embezzlement of the people's wages. In addition, there is also a reporting point for people to report! However, the ministers and others repeatedly questioned many migrant workers in disguise, and the incident of embezzling wages did not happen, of course, the ministers did not dare to relax, and multiple supervision will continue. Jiang Xingben continued.

"Luoyang is the place where we started not long ago, the people's attitude towards my Great Sui is mostly half-believed, the repair of Luoyang City is a good opportunity to establish the integrity of the Great Sui court, as long as we do what we say, the people will be convinced, if there is a court official who takes the opportunity to collect money or disregard the lives of the people, the people will no longer believe it! Once people's hearts are cold, it will be difficult to warm them in the future. ”

Yang Tong paused, and then said in a cold voice: "Therefore, supervision is the top priority, and we can't relax in the slightest, for those unjudicial officials who dare to commit crimes against the wind, no matter how high his position is and how many great feats he has made in the past, once discovered, he will be killed!" And those who dare to shield will be ten thousand times heavier in their sins, and they will destroy their people. ”

"Ministers will certainly live up to the trust of the Holy Lord."

The courtiers bowed down to answer the order.

Whether Yang Tong is joking or not does not need to be verified, although the emperor is young, it is not easy to deceive him, and the means of corrupt officials have always been vigorous and selfless, if someone tramples on the credibility of the Great Sui and takes the risk to destroy the good reputation of the Great Sui, it is a relief to be cut down by him, and the horror is that you want to die, but you can't die.
