Chapter 1232: Moving the Capital
Anyway, he was idle and bored, so Chen Xu said his plan very carefully.
If these things were placed when he first came to Xianyang six or seven years ago, everyone, including the emperor, would have basically understood them completely, but under the influence of Chen Xu's edification and various work changes over the years, almost everyone understood these things.
"Is the left minister saying that these ships should be planned in the same way as the parking lot?" An official asked in surprise.
"Yes, there are no rules, these ships come and go frequently and chaotically, but we can have a system for all ships to follow the rules!" Chen Xu nodded.
"Zuo Xiang's words are reasonable, I want to go to the court every day a few years ago, and the square in front of the main hall of the court is chaotic, but now everything is in order after drawing the parking area according to the grade, and there is no need to crowd up every day!" Many officials couldn't help but nod their heads in approval of Chen Xu's idea.
"Passenger and cargo diversion is indeed a good method, Aiqing is very thoughtful!" Qin Shi Huang agreed.
"Your Majesty has a reputation, the Wei River and the big river are connected, through the Central Plains several counties radiating hundreds of counties, and the Oriental Road a water and a land constitute the traffic artery of the hinterland of China, from Xianyang by boat, up to three days to reach the mouth of Qi County, to Luoyang Liang and other places is only one day, such a fast travel than the land is more than ten times more convenient, at present the large river basin and the Wei River on the passenger and freight is getting busier, ships more than one day, the collapse of the Qi County wharf caused major casualties, The main thing is that the infrastructure can not keep up with the requirements of freight development, and there is the unreasonable management and scheduling, and the ministers have feelings to plan this matter, and after the planning of the Academy of Sciences is completed, the ministers will submit a letter to His Majesty to see, hoping to change the chaotic state in front of him. Chen Xu replied with a smile.
"Aiqing has worked hard for the development of Daqin, and he can understand the national situation and care about national affairs when he eats, drinks and banquets, which really makes me happy, and I will be troubled by Aiqing's arrangement for this matter, and after the planning, I will let the three provinces, six ministries and the Inner History Mansion cooperate to complete the ......"
When the First Emperor said this, he glanced around slightly, his face became slightly serious, and he said, "Although the lifting of the ban on commercial laws was implemented by the Zuo Minister, I also agreed to support it, and you Aiqing should have seen that if there were no these merchants to operate transportation goods, would my Great Qin Yan be able to have the prosperity and wealth it has now?" It is the nature of businessmen to speculate and seek profits, but as long as there are strict laws and reasonable guidance of leniency and severity, businessmen will inevitably follow the rules, yesterday the Ministry of Industry played, Fan's water and many other businessmen raised more than 5 million money to support the construction of the library, this is a benevolent and righteous act, before there were animal merchants Wulu clan to help me Daqin tens of thousands of cattle and horses to conquer Zhao State, and then there was Ba Qing's huge money to build a border wall, a few years ago there were ship merchants Qi Mao disaster relief, and now there are many businessmen who donated huge sums of money to build a library, my Daqin has never banned commerce, and will never ban commerce in the future, As long as the business does respects the laws of the Great Qin, no one is allowed to blame and interfere, these are all clearly listed in the new commercial laws, all of you Aiqing are the hereditary nobles of my Great Qin, and they are also important ministers of my humerus, you must not be selfish because of the money in front of you, to prevent and destroy the prosperity in front of you, have you heard clearly......"
"Ministers, remember Your Majesty's words!" Facing the first emperor's majestic but not angry eyes, a group of princes and princes were all awe-inspiring in their hearts, and they were all able to put away their careful thoughts and get up to salute.
And the few officials who had just said something were like quails, holding their heads in their arms, not daring to look up at the emperor and Chen Xu more.
Chen Xu has just been respected by the emperor as the Grand Master, and the crime of secretly mapping and attacking the Grand Master is not a small matter, if the emperor really wants to be more serious, it will be a matter of moments to lose the official position and seize the title in an instant.
And this incident also made all those who had other thoughts about Chen Xu instantly strangle more thoughts in their minds, and in the future, I am afraid that the first emperor will be in one day, and no one can shake Chen Xu's status.
Zhao Hai, who was standing behind the First Emperor, twitched vigorously and secretly took a step back, while Meng Yi, who was in the same column as him, also shook his cheek slightly, and even slightly pursed the corners of his mouth, as if he was laughing at these self-indulgent provocations.
"Your Majesty, it seems that it is time for us to build a second concrete bridge!" As the oldest Shangqing present, and as the director in charge of the Sixth Department, Feng Quji habitually likes to be with mud, and points to the Weihe Bridge and changes the topic with a smile.
The few people who have just said something are all officials of the six departments, and he naturally knows it, but the court is extremely complicated, and the family relationship between these second, third and fourth grade chief officials is intertwined and complicated, and he can't actually cover the sky with one hand in Shangshu Province, so he can only quickly leave this matter over, so as not to cause the emperor's misunderstanding.
"What Feng Xiang said is that there are indeed too many people and cars on both sides of the Wei River every day, and the endless stream has never stopped, and every festival and event is even more crowded, and it is indeed necessary to hurry up and build a new bridge!" Some officials hurriedly echoed Feng Quji's words.
"Well, I also thought that this was the case, although the Weihe Bridge was strong, but if it goes on like this for many years, it may collapse under the burden!" The First Emperor's face was also a little sad for a moment, and he had already had this idea when he held up the binoculars to watch.
"What do you think?" Feng Qu smiled and turned his head to ask Chen Xu.
"What Feng Xiang said is that there is only one bridge now, which is too busy, and it is indeed necessary to prepare for the construction of a second Weihe Bridge!" Chen Xu smiled and nodded.
Hearing that the two prime ministers reached a unified opinion, a group of princes and ministers and civil and military officials standing next to them began to discuss where the bridge should be built.
According to the current level of construction, repairing the bridge is not a question of being able or not, just looking at where it is better and more convenient, how much investment can be temporarily without too much scruples, when a Weihe bridge cost 500,000 stone grain, converted to nearly 20 million dollars, equivalent to half a year's income of the Inner History House, but now, this money is only equivalent to one-third of the half of the income of the Inner History House, which can be fully supported, not to mention that with the gradual expansion of the output of cement plants and steel plants, enough building materials can also be raised in a very short time. If the project is started immediately, it will be completed in the autumn at most, and it will be opened to traffic by the end of the year.
"Your Majesty, repairing the bridge is an urgent matter, but the minister thinks that the best way is to move the capital!" A group of princes and princes all stood on the city tower, pointing in groups to discuss in different directions of the Wei River, but Chen Xu threw out an earth-shattering proposal.
In an instant, there was an incomparable silence above the city tower, and everyone turned their heads to look at Chen Xu or the First Emperor with all kinds of surprised looks.
"Xianyang has been the capital of Qin for me for more than a hundred years, why did Zuo Xiangyan suddenly say that he wanted to move the capital?" After a long time, the trembling Gaoyang Hou Zhao asked incomprehensibly.
"Yes, it is much more convenient to build bridges than to move the capital, and even if you build a few more bridges, it will be less expensive......" An official couldn't help muttering.
"That's true, my Great Qin princes, princes, ministers, civil and military officials all live in Xianyang City, and the fiefdoms and fields and houses are all near Xianyang, how to resettle these if you move the capital......
"These can still be discussed, but moving the capital will inevitably require the rebuilding of the imperial palace and many palaces, and the cost is too ......."
"It's okay to move the capital, Xianyang is already overcrowded, many houses are old and dilapidated, not to mention many streets and alleys, and sewage overflows when it rains in summer......" Lu Huan, who was most familiar with Xianyang City, hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Lieutenant Lu is right, Xianyang City is indeed too crowded, and it is inconvenient to travel with the southeastern counties across the Wei River, but where to move the capital still needs to be considered......
"If you move the capital, you think the best place to go is naturally Luoyang, the eastern capital......"
"I think it's okay to think the beam!"
"Linzi is not bad......"
After a group of princes and princes slowly came to their senses, they all began to discuss, some opposed and some supported, which was very rich in the court's consistent factional style.
"Since Aiqing suggested that I move the capital, do you have a detailed plan?" Qin Shi Huang looked at Chen Xu with interest after being stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty, the scale of Xianyang City is very large at present, not to mention the noisy number of people, all the facilities such as road traffic and drainage are very old, and they can no longer carry too much population, and the room for renovation and expansion is also very small, and the tinkering can not meet the future development of Xianyang, and as the capital, Xianyang will have more population in the future, and under increasing pressure, various situations will be more chaotic and complicated, and building a few bridges can not fundamentally solve the problem, only to expand the scale of the capital, the minister said to move the capital, It is not to move the capital to another place, after all, the foundation of my Great Qin is in Guanzhong, where the river is fertile for thousands of miles, it is the granary of the world's first-class granary, and there are four passes to protect the natural danger, plus there is Weishui can go directly to the East China Sea, this is the best choice for the capital, so the meaning of moving the capital is to plan to build a new city on the south bank of the Wei River, and now with steel and cement, you can build a more spacious and tall court hall and the office yamen of the government offices, which will drive a large number of businessmen and wealthy people and civilians to gather in Weinan, Soon a new city will be formed, which will not only relieve the pressure of Xianyang's growing population, but also improve the current office environment, after all, the rammed earth and wood and stone palaces are not as sturdy and spacious as the concrete......"
"Prime Minister Zuo's proposal to move the capital is indeed very good, but where does the money come from?" Although Feng Quji seemed to be silent, his constantly trembling eyebrows still betrayed his inner thoughts.
After all, Chen Xu just said that in the end, to complete this anti-heaven project, he had to rely on the officials of the six ministries under his command to complete it, and the most headache for him was naturally money.
He didn't even need to read the detailed plan, just by listening to the name of the capital, he knew that this project could not succeed without spending the entire country a few years of finances and taxes.
"Hehe, the money is naturally Feng Xiang's way to find a way, and someone just proposes!" Chen Xu laughed dryly.
Feng Quji: ......
"Moved the capital to Weinan...... Zuo Xiang's proposal coincides with me! Qin Shi Huang's eyes lit up at this time, which was similar to the Afang Palace he planned.
"Your Majesty, the old ministers of Weinan have no objection to moving the capital, but I'm afraid that the cost is too much for the imperial court to afford!" Feng Quji's face was full of worry, and he hurriedly said.
"It's a lot of money to build a new city, but if you think it's feasible, I'll stop all the palace projects that are currently being renovated!"
"Your Majesty, the matter of moving the capital is too involved, and the minister suggests that it is better to arrange for the Ministry of Industry to make arrangements after careful investigation!" The Inner History Mansion ordered Qi Tang to stand up and say.
"The ministers seconded it!" In the blink of an eye, seven or eight officials from the second, third and fourth grades came forward, most of them were officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Finance Bureau.
"Anyway, today is not a court discussion, this matter will be postponed, the Ministry of Slaughter and Industry will arrange craftsmen to inspect the terrain and terrain on the south bank of the Wei River as soon as possible, so that the Academy of Sciences can cooperate and come up with a new capital construction plan before autumn!"
"Obey the order!" Zai Hong hurriedly agreed.
Qin Shi Huang continued to watch from the city tower for half an hour and then drove back to the palace, and the accompanying princes and civil and military officials also scattered, and most of them took a carriage to Keju Square to watch the excitement.
