Chapter 778: The Emperor's Small Treasury
Originally, the northernmost part of the Great Song Dynasty has now become the famous Beiping Mansion, which has become the center of the entire Great Song Dynasty, at the beginning of the people of Tokyo City did not feel anything, after all, the decline is not a sudden thing, but with the transfer of goods, talents, labor, and other resources to the north, slowly they feel that something is wrong.
The number of tourists coming and going to Tokyo City continued to decrease, and later even the people who came to Tokyo City began to move to Beiping Mansion first, and the merchants' sense of smell was even keen, they saw the decline of Tokyo City for the first time, and also saw the rise of Beiping Mansion, so merchants were the first people in Tokyo City to drag their families to Beiping Mansion.
Once the merchants left, the prosperity of Tokyo City began to decline, and the people's homes also left, but because of the existence of the factory, the people of Xu Du were still reluctant to leave, after all, their jobs are now in the factory, who knows if there will be such a good job after going to Beiping Mansion?
Of course, the ecological chain of Tokyo City has not been interrupted, the merchants have left a part, the people have left a part, but there are some people who do not want to leave, after all, in the feudal society, traditional ideas still occupy a very important position, and the old people who have lived in Bianliang, Tokyo for generations are reluctant to leave. The peasants of Kaifeng Province also did not want to leave their land.
So the population of the north is only half of the number, 500,000 people is already the limit, not everyone can withstand the rush of the journey, and Kaifeng Mansion has issued a notice, people who want to follow the capital have cars and horses to get it, but if you are not in a hurry to leave, when the number of trains increases, you can take the train to Beiping Mansion, and do not charge a penny!
This is undoubtedly a good news, from Tokyo City to Beiping Mansion only in a short period of five days, this news has spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty, it is simply as fast as flying over, and the rest of the people do not have to worry, the official family said that the time to move the capital is three or five years long, not overnight, even if they don't go now, they still have a chance to go, and the court also encourages the people to go later!
Therefore, the first batch of people who went to Xijin Mansion were mostly the families of officials and the families of merchants, they mostly took the carriage to take the cement paved highway to the north, and the people who could not stand the bumps could only go to Luoyang to transfer water to the north, the benefits of the Sui-Tang Grand Canal were reflected, which was part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Guangtong Canal, the Yongji Canal could connect the north and the south, so that the Beiping Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty also had a busy Cao Yun.
This is the artery of Beiping Mansion, can not be abandoned, before Zhao Zhen arrived in Beiping Mansion, he has issued an order to repair the Sui and Tang Dynasty Canal at all costs, dredging, water storage, excavation and reinforcement of deficiencies, and make it navigable.
Beiping Mansion is not like Kaifeng Mansion, has a perfect water transport, the water network is dense in all directions, relying only on the transport of the road is still slightly insufficient, if the highway and the transport can be combined, it will bring greater prosperity to Beiping Mansion, after the train is completely unobstructed, a track becomes two, to the time to connect all parts of the Great Song Dynasty is just around the corner, you must know that the emergence of two two-way rails is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Moving the capital seems simple, as long as the emperor moves, but there are countless difficulties, Zhao Zhen also prepared for a long time before deciding to move the capital, after all, these internal difficulties that can be solved are nothing compared to external contradictions, there is an existence on the grassland that can destroy Chinese civilization, this is the real big trouble.
An empire, a dynasty cannot last forever, even Zhao Zhen does not have the courage to say so, he knows history too well, and it can even be said that he is a part of history, although the current Zhao Zhen is changing history, and even creating history, but this arrogant guy is always not controlled by people, even if Zhao Zhen is strong, he has no ability to tame the pace of history.
What he has to do now is only to bring the grassland into the central jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the grassland is closer to the capital, so as to facilitate suppression, or rule, he wants to make the capital of the Great Song Dynasty the first line of defense to stop the grassland from invading China, and what he is guarding is only the Chinese civilization, not the Great Song Dynasty as a country and a dynasty.
Even if the Great Song Dynasty died and Zhao Zhen inside, he would not have much regret, because the successors would always retain the culture, technology, art, wisdom and other things of China, and if they died to foreign races, it would be a catastrophe in China.
Since the relocation of the capital, it is the time of spring and flowers, all the resources have begun to transfer to Beiping Mansion first, and the reputation of Beiping Mansion has also begun to run through the world, and everyone knows it, because although it is the land of Yanyun, but the life is exactly the same as that of the Great Song Dynasty, but there are more customs and habits unique to the northwest.
However, the customs and habits of the north and the south quickly merged here, although the huge city of Beijing is much larger than the city of Tokyo, but in the morning there are still vendors who buy noodle soup walking the streets and alleys, the head of the time is dragging a long voice, the fragrance of Granny Cao's meatloaf is still wafting on the street, and Cai Kee's restaurant is still open as usual.
The officials started the early dynasty in the early spring when there was no light, even if they had just moved to Beijing, the early dynasty still had to continue, and some time ago there was a delay on the road for a lot of days! But now, even in the early dynasties, it was just a formality, and the files of the various yamen were on the way to be transported, even the Zhongshu Province or the Privy Council had to be transported by train, and it would take five days before anything could be used.
During this time, the chief officials of each yamen were making some mistakes, asking His Majesty to approve the use of trains to transport the files of his yamen as soon as possible, but there were too many yamen in the imperial court, and they didn't know if they didn't move, so there were so many yamen in Tokyo City!
The first to arrive was not the files of any of the yamen, but Zhao Zhen's own inner treasury...... This is Zhao Zhen's small treasury, completely unsupervised by the three divisions, Bao Zheng has asked the three divisions several times to have the right to check the inner treasury, so that the treasury is insufficient to dispatch, but Zhao Zhen vetoed, to be honest, Zhao Zhen didn't even dare to check it easily, because there was so much money and treasures in it, even he was afraid.
The train of the whole eight carriages was only a small part of the inner treasury, Zhao Zhen looked at Bao Zheng who had red eyes and flashing greedy eyes on the side, and was slightly embarrassed, if this goods were not restricted by the imperial power, I am afraid that the entire inner treasury could be filled into the treasury, right?
Bao Zheng turned his head and said: "The official family, such a huge fortune, is actually only three or four out of ten of the inner treasury, could it be that the business of the heavenly family has been opened all over the Great Song Dynasty?" Or ......"
Zhao Zhen said helplessly: "All this money was earned by Cai Ji and Bi Yaxuan, of course, there are also trophies from the conquest battle, Yan Yun alone has countless wealth of Emperor Liao, cough cough...... I don't know how much there is, but it can be said that there is not a penny that oppresses the people, does your mother-in-law think that Bi Yaxuan's things are expensive? Or did I go to Cai Kee to eat because of my face?! ”
Bao Zheng opened his mouth, and finally could only ask: "Then what will Your Majesty do with so much money?" Three Divisions ......"
"The three divisions can't control it! These are my internal treasury, and they have nothing to do with the treasury, so I am naturally of great use! When it comes to spending, someone will report to the three divisions for accounting, and the three divisions only need to record the accounts, so that the emperor knows where the money in the treasury is spent! ”
Bao Zheng's eyes lit up, he didn't expect the official family to relax here, and promised again and again: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
