The national capital of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, or the accompanying capital, is not the same thing as after the Song Dynasty.

Because of the threat from the north, the Song Dynasty had to concentrate the entire country's army along the Yellow River, forming a siphoning economic belt.

The development of Kaifeng Prefecture is based on the huge transportation and huge burden of people's livelihood.

The centralization of power in the Ming Dynasty maximized the power in the hands of the emperor, and the national capital became a political, economic, and military capital.

In later generations, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and New China gave full play to the functions of the central city.

Of course, the siphon effect is also more scary.

But at this time, the role of the national capital was relatively simple.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Chang'an, a remote place, could no longer assume the function of a capital due to soil erosion and population growth in Guanzhong.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang. It has become the de facto capital of Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jiangdu

During the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an and Luoyang took turns as the national capital.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, although the capital was set up in Kaifeng Mansion because of the previous dynasty, the Song Dynasty at this time was only a local government, and Kaifeng Mansion actually could not assume the function of being the national capital.

Not to mention anything else, there are no mountains around Kaifeng Mansion, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and a large number of troops are needed to garrison the capital of the country.

Just because Zhao Kuangyin wanted to move the capital, Zhao Guangyi, who regarded Kaifeng Mansion as his foundation, killed him, and then Zhao Guangyi never mentioned the move of the capital again.

And his descendants, even if they were hard-headed, did not mention moving the capital, until the emperor, concubines and princesses were plundered to the northeast as slaves and prostitutes.

If in 976, according to Zhao Kuangyin's intentions, he would move the capital to Luoyang, would he still be so passive?

This matter was also analyzed by Zhao Dezhao in later generations, if the country is in Luoyang, the Jin country will definitely not be able to drive straight in.

Even if the capital is still captured, it will cost the country a little more effort.

Of course, all this is hypothetical inference.

But in any case, it is better to gradually move the political, economic, and military center to a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, than Kaifengfu.

Although Luoyang is now Xijing, in fact, after five generations, it has declined to the point that a metropolis with a population of one million people now has a population of less than 300,000.

What's more, the mountains and forests around Luoyang have been cut down because of the repeated destruction and rebuilding of Luoyang City.

There are no mountains and forests around, no timber, and no large-scale transportation equipment, which can be transported from other places, and the reconstruction of Luoyang City is particularly difficult.

Although the city of Luoyang is surrounded by mountains, which is suitable for the national capital, the Great Song Dynasty has no financial and material resources to rebuild it now.

Zhao Kuangyin's establishment of Hanjing, although it was somewhat unexpected, but there was no opposition from the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

Because the change of dynasties is too fast, these civil and military ministers also want to have multiple back roads.

As the first fortified city in China, Xiangyang can make people feel safe psychologically.

Moreover, this is just a retreat, it does not mean that if it is set up as Hanjing, the national capital must be moved there.

Of course, the happiest ones belong to a group of vested interests, that is, officials who are to be sent to Hanjing as officials.

Expanding the city is the biggest oil and water project in this era!

For several days in a row, except for the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Dezhao followed Zhao Tingmei to the Song family to send him off, and Zhao Dezhao has been dealing with various officials.

Among them, there were two officials who caught Zhao Dezhao's attention.

One is Lu Duoxun in the military department, and the other is Shen Yilun, the transfer envoy, because these two people have served as prime ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Shen Yilun is proficient in arithmetic, and during Zhao Kuangyin's tenure as the envoy of Jiedu, he has been in charge of finance.

The Song army attacked Shu, and he served as a transit envoy and was in charge of logistics.

The generals of the Song army were greedy and violent, only the capital supervisor Cao Bin and Shen Yilun were incorruptible, and they were greatly praised by Zhao Kuangyin after returning with the army.

According to the original history, he would have been promoted to the head of the household, but this time, he was promoted to the deployment of soldiers and horses in the southwest, and the transfer envoy.

These two positions are not too high, but they are quite important.

The soldiers and horses were deployed equivalent to Zhao Dezhao's military deputy, responsible for the military movement of the entire Shannan East Province except for the forbidden army.

The transfer envoy was responsible for the transfer of materials, and at this time during the construction of Hanjing City, it was even worse.

Lu Duosun is even more famous, and the historical evaluation is mixed.

He is very capable, and history evaluates him to be knowledgeable in history, smart and strong in memory, quick in rhetoric, like to appoint in numbers, and outstanding in strategy.

But this person is greedy for power, greedy for money and luxury, and he is also narrow-minded, and he has a bad relationship with his colleagues.

He had grudges with Zhao Pu, Wang Pu, Shen Yilun and many other ministers, and before and after him, all the prime ministers who did not listen to him made enemies.

In the end, because of collusion with Zhao Tingmei to let Zhao Tingmei succeed to the throne, he was demoted to Yazhou by Zhao Guangyi and died.

Of course, this is all in the future, and now he is just a six-rank langzhong.

To tell the truth, Zhao Dezhao still admires him a little in his heart, he can offend his colleagues as an official, and finally offend the emperor, which is still a bit ruthless.

Lu Duoxun went to Hanjing this time to serve as a soldier among the six Cao, which made Zhao Dezhao a little worried.

Bingcao was responsible for the appointment of generals of the local army, as well as the duties of military preparation, weapon supply, and defense.

With such a cannon, Zhao Dezhao was afraid that he would let industrial production come at his pace.

Even if Zhao Dezhao can suppress him, he doesn't want to quarrel with him every day!

So, let's look at it, his ability is still very strong, maybe it will have a big effect.

As for Wang Pu, then there is nothing to say.

He served as the Yin of Hanjing Mansion, but in fact, he was mainly the housekeeper for Zhao Dezhao and occupied this position.

Zhao Dezhao now has a festival envoy, both command two military positions, Han Jing stayed in this position, which is a false title for him, so that he can manage Wang Pu.

Because he is only fifteen years old, he can hold a military position, but Yin, a civil official of Hanjing Mansion, still has too little experience.

Wang Pu is his father-in-law, so he is naturally devoted to him.

Zhao Kuangyin now vigorously supports Zhao Dezhao, and wants Zhao Dezhao to make him a musket, and he will not let people block him.

As for the things that Zhao Dezhao wrote, except for some technical information, most of the policy information, he burned it, and let Zhao Dezhao keep the copy, and don't let others know.

Because there are too many policies in it, they can't be realized today, and it can be said that they are shocking and deviant.

The imperial power is unstable, everything is illusory, and only when the imperial power is stable can it be implemented slowly.

Of course, he didn't do nothing, such as protecting the Yellow River and planting trees along the Yellow River, and he had already sent orders to the upstream state capitals.

also sent a gold exploration team to Ye County (Zhaoyuan) in Laizhou, preparing to find a gold mine.

Zhao Dezhao does not support gold mining in China, and when the country is safe, he can go to Dongying and the Americas to dig gold mines.

However, Zhao Kuangyin must always taste a little sweetness.

What's more, there is a shortage of precious currencies right now.

Those who wrote about the Song Dynasty before they could spend thousands of taels of silver at every turn, or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, were completely ignorant of current affairs.

Today's main currencies of the Song Dynasty are copper coins and gold, and gold is only a precious metal, which is rarely in circulation and has a pitiful stock.

As for silver, of course, there was also silver, and the Han Dynasty already had silver.

Today, however, there is only a slight amount of silver than gold, and it is only used as a precious metal, and it is rarely in circulation.

In other words, gold and silver are only the standard for measuring prices, but the transactions are all copper coins.

Silver circulated as currency, and that was after the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine, Zhao Dezhao also gave him the salt drying method, which is the best solution for mass production of salt compared to boiling salt that wastes wood.

This technical solution was regarded as a treasure by Zhao Kuangyin, and he immediately arranged for people to go to the seaside controlled by the Song Dynasty to find a suitable area for testing.

Zhao Dezhao told him these secrets, and now he is close to Zhao Dezhao.

But in Zhao Dezhao's opinion, he was so close to him mainly because he was leaving Kaifeng Mansion and felt that there was no threat.

Otherwise, there is simply no balance to balance in front of that position.

On the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raised its head.

Zhao Kuangyin's third wedding, the thirteen-year-old Song was named the queen by him at the wedding.

He was thirty-nine years old, and his son Zhao Dezhao was fifteen years old and married a thirteen-year-old girl.

However, the world is like this, and there are many cases of a pear flower pressing a begonia in this era.

After Zhao Kuangyin's wedding, Zhao Dezhao, who was originally scheduled to leave on the fifth day of the second lunar month, was delayed again.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, many affairs had to be communicated with the imperial court, after all, the silver had to be paid by the imperial court.

In addition to money, materials from other regions must also be transported from other places, and all aspects need to be coordinated.

However, on the fifth day of the second lunar month, Zhao Dezhao still sent 3,599 Jinyi guards first and set off first.

Jinyiwei originally only had 3,159 people, plus the 300 forbidden troops under Yuan Burang's command, plus Zhao Dezhao, there were only 3,460 people.

However, after the Nanyuan training began, the other forbidden troops were also very interested in their training, and after Zhao Kuangyin solicited Zhao Dezhao's opinion, he transferred a credible 140 people from various departments of the forbidden army to join in.

These 140 people belong to the commission, and after the training is over, they will return to the original army.

Although the Jinyi guards also carried a large amount of luggage, these were all transferred by the military headquarters, and they only carried two sets of clothes and sabers, and they had to rush to Xiangyang as quickly as possible.

This journey of 1,000 miles will be a difficult journey.

Zhao Dezhao mainly did not send them, but sent Wang Pu and his family.

Wang Pu only took his wife and youngest son Wang Yixu to Xiangyang, the first three sons are older, two have been appointed officials, and the third Wang Yiqing is studying in Guozijian.

They will travel with Wang, Chen, and Pei Ge'an, and more than a dozen other officials.

Yuan Burang led three hundred forbidden troops to protect along the way, nominally to protect Wang Pu and their ministers and Zhao Dezhao's family, but in fact, the most important thing was Pei Ge'an and one of the boxes.

Pei Ge'an's departure also made Zhao Dezhao's heart empty all of a sudden.

What's more, he was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would attack her.

If it weren't for her, Zhao Dezhao would not have exposed those political systems, mineral distribution, and new technologies to Zhao Kuangyin at all.

I hope these arrangements will make him not do it, once Pei Ge'an has three longs and two shorts, Zhao Dezhao will go crazy.

Although he came to this era, he took the revitalization of China as his own responsibility.

But he is still an egoist, and Pei Gean is his only companion, and it can also be said that he is the destination of his soul, and naturally he is more important than anyone and everything.
