Datong ancient clouds, Kawahara Pingyan, how much of a big move, the southern prisoner should be Shuo Zhucheng must peep into the place. This is the clearest description of Datong in the clouds in history, in order to defend against Turkic attacks during the Kaihuang period of Sui, Datong City was built in Datong River. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Shatuo people migrated inward, and the overseas Chinese in Datong were placed here, which means "the great harmony of the world", and the name of Datong has not changed since then.

Zhao Zhen opened the album record of Datong Mansion, which is the history of the Great Song Dynasty literati, and the record of Datong Mansion is quite detailed, and Bao Zheng on the side has begun to explain the evolution of Datong Mansion in the Liao Dynasty for him: "Liao Cheng Tang system, that is, the three levels of Dao-state-county." In the thirteenth year of Chongxi, the Liao people changed Yunzhou to Xijing, set up Xijing Road, Datong Mansion, as the capital of Liao, the name of Datong City was called here, and unified seven counties in two states: Hongzhou, Dezhou, Datong County, Yunzhonggu, Tiancheng County, Changqing County, Fengyi County, Huairen County, Huaian County.

Xijing Datong is vast for 20 miles, and there is a Xijing Tongwen Palace, and a left-behind ya. The east of the north gate is the Datong Mansion, and the west is the Datong Station. In the seventeenth year of Chongxi, Datong County was placed in the middle of the clouds, and the name of Datong has not changed since then. ”

Sure enough, it was a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and Bao Zheng's detailed explanation made Zhao Zhen understand Datong Mansion more thoroughly, and the importance of Datong Mansion lies in his help to Xijin Mansion.

It seems to be a part of Yanyun, but it is actually the barrier of Xijin Mansion, the gateway to the north of the whole Jin Dynasty, and the throat of Jin, Hebei and Inner Mongolia, which is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight. In history, Datong has been an important town for three generations of Beijing and two dynasties, and all dynasties have sent famous generals to guard it, which not only prevents foreign invasion but also protects the safety of the Central Plains, and is known as the key to the north.

If the Liao people stick to Datong, Zhao Zhen will definitely not give up, and he has already prepared a plan to encroach on Datongfu from Taiyuan Mansion, Zhending Mansion, and Ulzhou, which was taken by the Great Song Dynasty, and Fengshengzhou to put pressure on Datong Mansion, and cut off grain and grass after forming a siege, and even cut off its water source when necessary.

Now that the Liao people actually sent such a big gift, Zhao Zhen was naturally happy to accept it, and leaned on the brocade couch and said to Bao Zheng: "The Liao people offered Datong Mansion just to borrow Zhongjing, so what do Bao think?" ”

Bao Zheng thought for a moment and frowned: "There must be changes in the Liao people going to Beijing, and it is even related to the Guoding, otherwise the Liao people will not re-bet next time, take Datong Mansion as a gift, and use the whole territory of Yanyun as a medium." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Bao Zheng in surprise, he didn't expect this old-fashioned Bao Xiren to have such a transparent mind, and thought of the politics of the capital in a little bit, it seems that Bao Zheng has learned a lot of things in Xijin Mansion in recent years, and looked up at him, Bao Zheng, who is only one year older than himself, is much older than himself in appearance, and it seems that he has suffered a lot in Xijin Mansion.

"That's right, Zhang Jian came to borrow the Tao because Yelu Chongyuan, the emperor's younger brother of the Liao Dynasty, wanted to rebel, so he used Datong Mansion as a plot to lead 100,000 elites of the Liao Dynasty back to King Qin, and Kuang Fu Huang's eldest son Yelu Hongji, I agreed."

Bao Zheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and helping the Liao Emperor to succeed to the throne is a virtuous monarch, and it is a good thing to do with reason and law." ”

Zhao Zhen knew that Bao Zheng would say this, Bao Xiren regarded etiquette as more important than anything else, and the rules were as heavy as Mount Tai in front of him, and he would definitely support the orthodox emperor of the Liao people, which was not about whether the Liao Dynasty was hostile to the Great Song Dynasty, but out of justice.

The importance of Datong in the clouds to the Xijin Mansion is self-evident, but Bao Zheng can also see the suspicion from it, if the official family promotes the Xijin Mansion to accompany the capital Beijing, then the importance of Datong to the Xijin Mansion is even more significant, and it is the northwest key place of the Xijin Mansion.

The whole territory of Yanyun is already in the bag of the Great Song Dynasty, which is a fortunate thing, but it is also a crisis of the Great Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng clearly felt from Zhao Zhen's arrangement and planning of Xijin Mansion and Datong that moving the capital is the ultimate goal of the official family.

Bao Zheng is not worried about the nature of the capital, but the impact of the capital on the Great Song Dynasty, although the capital is the guardian of the grassland gateway, but if the price of moving the capital is too high, then in Bao Zheng's eyes, the gains outweigh the losses.

Zhao Zhen got up from the brocade couch and walked on the path of the back garden, although the architectural style of the Imperial Palace of Xijin Mansion is quite similar to the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the layout of many Tokyo cities is quite similar.

Zhao Zhen attaches great importance to the city and palace of Xijin Mansion, the Central Plains Dynasty is mainly based on defense, although Zhao Zhen has worked hard to expand in recent years, but they are all developing to the south, and the resources of the South China Sea countries continue to gather to the Great Song Dynasty, and they are all for the purpose of using troops in the north.

In the final analysis, transportation limited the development of the Great Song Dynasty, and compared to moving the capital, this is what should be put in the first place, and the research and development of trains has been accelerated, and this is why Zhao Zhen set the time of moving the capital at about three or five years.

Once there is a railway extending in all directions, in the auxiliary road traffic, Zhao Zhen believes that no one can stop the pace of people migrating, people are like this, they will use their own feet to choose a better life, even if the people of the Great Song Dynasty are extremely down-to-earth, they will yearn for a better life.

Walking in the back garden, there are already rockeries here, ponds are also being built, and the transplantation of flowers and trees has begun, and the palace attendants and palace maids are almost full, Bao Zheng is accompanying him, he is thinking about how to use appropriate words to dispel the idea of moving the capital to the official's house.

The construction of the palace has cost a lot of public money, which in his opinion is a great waste, and this money will be more valuable if it is used elsewhere, which is why he opposes the relocation of the capital, the cost is too great.

But these are not the case in Zhao Zhen's eyes, the construction of the palace city, the laying of roads, these are all infrastructure, and will also provide more work for the people of Xijin Mansion and even Datong Mansion, which is an important cornerstone for the development of the two places.

The people here need to be resettled, and they must be transformed into the same appearance as the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise how will the Datong Mansion and the Xijin Mansion be developed? Only by improving the lives of the people in the two places and increasing their income can the commerce of the two places develop, and in the final analysis, the Great Song Dynasty is still the driving force for the development and expansion of commerce.

What kind of life is the Great Song Dynasty The people of Xijin Mansion know it, and they also yearn for such a prosperous life, which means that there are still many things to do in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are many officials in Xijin Mansion and Datong Mansion, which can largely solve the problem of redundant officials in the Great Song Dynasty.

The development of Lingnan has allowed the Great Song Dynasty to get rid of the redundant army, and the officials have also been properly arranged, and now they only need to successfully take the Datong Mansion to allow the idle officials in the country to go north to resettle, and they can also open up the imperial examination to set up education, and there are many vacant official positions, and the number of people who naturally participate in the imperial examination is also large, which mobilizes the enthusiasm of the common people and literati, which is extremely beneficial to the development of the Great Song Dynasty.

What Zhao Zhen saw, the officials rarely could see, even Xia Zhu, Bao Zheng understood Zhao Zhen's intentions, and Zhao Zhen's future plan for the Great Song Dynasty was already in his stomach, just like the palace of Xijin Mansion that was being built.
