When he was the Marquis of Pingbei, Shi Bin reviewed 100 official documents a day; When Qi Guogong reviewed more than 150 official documents a day; When he was the king of Chu, he reviewed more than 200 official documents a day; The Emperor had to review nearly 250 official documents a day. Now that he is the emperor, he actually has to review at least 280 copies of the recital a day, which has turned Shi Bin from an ordinary 'workaholic' to a 'super workaholic'.

Although he misses the leisurely days before, Shi Bin also feels that although it is tiring, it is also worth it. So continue to be his 'super workaholic' without regrets.

One day, when this 'super workaholic' was lying on the table and looking at the recital, he suddenly discovered a problem: the recital from Xi'an was actually one day earlier than the recital from Hongzhou (Nanchang). I thought it was dazzling, but when I looked closely, I found that there was no dazzling. Including the level of expedited, it is the same, it is all three hundred miles expedited.

Then why did the music from Xi'an arrive earlier than the song from Hongzhou, and now Lin'an is the capital, not Luoyang or Kaifeng. Could it be that the postman who delivered the official document was slacking off? Shi Bin immediately dismissed the idea.

Fantasy is useless, so it's better to ask. "Xu Feng, look at these two official documents issued at the same time. Why did Xi'an's arrive a day earlier than Hongzhou's? ”

"Emperor, this should be related to the terrain. Most of the northern regions are plains and plateaus, a horse and a flat river, and the post man gallops on the official road. However, in the south, there are mostly hills and mountains, and there are not many large and small rivers

It's not easy for the postman to speed up. ”

"Isn't there a ship? Wouldn't you just want those post men to take a boat? Shi Bin asked a little naively.

"Emperor, the court receives hundreds of copies every day, where are there so many ships available? Not to mention the fact that there are also official exchanges between regions. And most importantly, many official documents need to be kept secret, so it is impossible to use a boat. ”

I didn't expect things to be so troublesome, Shi Bin shook his head helplessly and continued to watch the twists and turns. It didn't take long for Shi Bin to discover another problem: although the border dwellers of the three khanates and the border dwellers of Daxiang were no longer so hostile, there was still conflict. There are even a lot of horse bandits who have run to the Lanzhou boundary of Qinfeng Road.

This news made Shi Bin very unhappy, what he hated the most was bandits, because he himself was kidnapped by bandits as a meat ticket, and he knew the danger. Although the bandit leader has now become his relative, Shi Bin will never forget this unpleasant experience.

Some bandits are not brutal and just want money. There are also several bandits in the Liangzhejiang area, but I don't know why, Shi Bin always remembers the bandits in the northwest and is obsessed with them.

Seeing that Shi Bin had been frowning and obviously unhappy, Xu Feng took the initiative to ask, "Emperor, are you unhappy?" If you are unhappy, please speak up. Maybe Wechen can help with ideas. ”

"Horse bandits from the three khanates have appeared in Lanzhou in the northwest." Shi Bin said.

At first glance, Xu Feng felt that it was nothing, because there were also horse bandits of their Hunan people in the territory of the three major khanates. What's more, most of these horse bandits rob people when they see them, and they don't know nationality at all. At most, it is a robbery that does not kill people. Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade Shi Bin not to care too much, Xu Feng felt that Shi Bin would never be so unhappy because of a few horse bandits, and there must be other reasons. Therefore, Xu Feng did not speak immediately, but stood aside and thought carefully, and it didn't take long for him to come up with a possible reason.

"Emperor, are you worried that a war will suddenly break out in the northwest, and we will not be able to deal with it, resulting in heavy losses or even the loss of a large area of land?"

These were things that Shi Bin didn't expect, and he only felt faintly unhappy and uneasy before. Now that Xu Feng said this, Shi Bin suddenly brightened up, and immediately followed Xu Feng's words and said: "That's right, now I am in Lin'an, the capital of Hunan Province, and it is two thousand five hundred miles away from the sixteen states of Yanyun. It is 5,000 miles away from Jiayuguan, which is too far. What's more, the northwest is still a flat river, and it is too easy to occupy. ”

"What the emperor said is that 5,000 miles is too far. If something happens in the northwest, even if it is eight hundred miles urgent, too

It will take seven days to get the news. By the time the imperial court can fully react, it has been happening for at least half a month..."

Then Shi Bin thought about the previous official documents in Xi'an and Hongzhou, if the Xi'an post can reach Lin'an faster than the Hongzhou post guard, then the speed of the local soldiers and horses will definitely be faster, especially how many cavalry there are in the northern khanate. Maybe before the imperial court reacted, the entire Qin Fenglu had already fallen.

Shi Bin will not allow this situation to occur, if the hard-earned country is lost because it is uncontrollable, it will be a great shame. So Shi Bin decided to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

"Xu Feng, call the two queens, Wang San and Li Chao, for me. Let Wang Yi and Li Shao temporarily work for the two of them. ”

"Yes, Emperor. The subordinates will do it. After speaking, Xu Feng rushed away.

Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were naturally the first to arrive, looking at Shi Bin's panda eyes, the two sisters were very distressed, and repeatedly persuaded Shi Bin not to work so hard. thinks that it is enough for him to work four or five hours a day, and he is definitely a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, and he does not have to work more than six hours a day as if he is crazy.

Of course, he understood that the two of them were concerned about themselves, and Shi Bin was very happy in his heart, but he still said that he couldn't work so hard, and many things couldn't be delayed at all. If it is delayed, it will cost a hundredfold or even a thousand times to make up for the loss.

I thought that Jia Ling and Sai Xishi would compromise and no longer dissuade them, but they didn't expect the second daughter to take Shi Bin, if they didn't know how to take care of their bodies, they would no longer be a think tank and a threat. This can make Shi Bin feel embarrassed, the two are definitely his right-hand men, and they can't be missing. After thinking about it for a while, Shi Bin planned to come and pretend to agree.

Hearing Shi Bin's 'assurance', although the two of them didn't believe it, they couldn't do anything to Shi Bin, the emperor, so they had to put the matter aside. Ask Shi Bin why he called them over.

"What do you think of Lin'an, Xi'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Youzhou?" Shi Bin asked.

"Why did the husband suddenly ask this?" Jia Ling asked a little puzzled.

"Don't ask me why, tell me what you think of these five cities."

"Lin'an is naturally the richest and most prosperous of the five regions. Xi'an's economy is slightly inferior, but the strategic location of Qinchuan, which is 800 miles away, is very important. The economic and strategic location of Luoyang and Kaifeng is not the most important, but it can effectively control the whole country. As for Youzhou, it is currently the most backward among the five places, but it should be said that it is the most promising city among the five places. Jia Ling said.

"What do you think? Shih Tzu? Shi Bin smiled.

"The concubine doesn't know, but the concubine remembers that all the powerful dynasties built their capitals in the north. The southern part of the capital is all a fallen dynasty, relying on the Yangtze River to be in a safe corner. ”

Relying on the Yangtze River? Although this is not good, Shi Bin must admit that Sai Xishi is right. Since the unification of this land, there has not been a strong capital in the south, and the capital in the north is a strong symbol.

"Well, that makes sense. Husband, I thought of this when I was reviewing the recital today. ”

"Twists? What's the content? Sai Xi Shi asked curiously.

"There were two copies of the folds at the same time and with the same grade, and as a result, the notes in Xi'an were one day earlier than those in Hongzhou. The report was that there were now many horse bandits on the border of Lanzhou in the northwest, and the local yamen was unable to suppress the bandits, hoping for military support. ”

The two daughters are both smart people, and when they heard it, they knew that Shi Bin was worried that he would not be able to effectively manage the north and lead to huge losses.

"Does the husband want to move the capital?" Jia Ling and Sai Xishi asked in unison.

"The two ladies are really smart, and that's what I mean. But I don't know if it's appropriate, so I'm calling you. Later, Wang San and Li Chao will also come. Let's deliberate again. ”

Before Shi Bin and the others started drinking tea, Xu Feng took Wang San and Li Chao into the imperial study.

Wang San was the smartest among the few, and he only listened to Xu Feng's words

It was determined that Shi Bin wanted to move the capital. So after entering the door and saluting, he asked directly: "Emperor, do you want to move the capital?" ”

"Yes, Xu Feng must have made the reason clear to the two of you."

Li Chao said, "The minister thinks that the emperor and Wang San are right, and this matter should be considered." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Chao expressed his support so directly, which surprised Shi Bin very much. After all, moving to the capital is a big deal, and ordinary people will not express their stance so quickly. And Li Chao is definitely a smart person, he must have something to rely on if he dares to make such a statement.

This also aroused Shi Bin's interest, so he asked with a smile: "Li Chao, your support so quickly surprised my eldest brother." Can you explain why? ”

"Yes. I believe that the eldest brother must know about the 'Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms'. In the second year of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty (155 B.C.), the imperial historian Chao Cuoshu "Cutting the Domain" proposed to weaken the power of the princes and kings and strengthen the centralization of power. Emperor Jing's adoption led to the 'Rebellion of the Seven Kings'. At that time, Emperor Jing was guarding the Qinchuan Pass for 800 miles, and mobilized the whole country to exterminate the Seven Kings. If the eldest brother has been shrinking into this small Lin'an City, and the north has not been effectively governed for a long time, I am afraid that there will be another 'Seven Kings Rebellion'. At that time, I am afraid that if the eldest brother wants to calm the chaos, he will have to spend more energy than Emperor Jing, and even if it is finally calmed down, it will greatly weaken our country's strength. ”

"Big brother, Li Chao is very right. The same was true of the 'Anshi Rebellion' back then. If it weren't for the timely response of Xi'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty would not have been more than a hundred years later. ”

"Emperor, Weichen also wants to say something."

"Xu Feng, you say. I'm sure you also have a good opinion. ”

"The emperor praises it, if you don't talk about it, it's definitely far inferior to the two queens, Lord Wang and Lord Li. However, Weichen would like to remind that although the north is calm now, and many tribes have surrendered, they are still the biggest threat. The threat to my Daxiang still comes from the north, not from the south. If the capital is continued to be fixed in Lin'an, it will make the world think that the emperor only wants to be happy and dare not face the danger head-on, and will not lead them to resist the threat. In this way, I am afraid that the people's support will be lost. If there is a 'Son of Heaven guarding the country', it will definitely make the subjects of the world more attentive. ”

In this way, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, Wang San, Li Chao and Xu Feng all supported the relocation of the capital, which made Shi Bin feel very comfortable. Then there's a specific question: where is the right place to move?

"Everyone, since you all want to move the capital, where is the right place to move? Xi'an, Luoyang, Bianliang or Youzhou? Shi Bin asked.

"Big brother, little brother thinks it's best to move to Xi'an." Wang San said with great certainty.

"Why?"

"Xi'an is the absolute land of Longxing, the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty, the former Zhao, the former Qin, the Later Qin, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty all built their capitals here. Among them, there are two Han Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and Xin Dynasty. ”

The Land of Dragons? Shi Bin doesn't believe it, he is an atheist, but he must admit that the powerful dynasty has its capital here. Its strategic location is really important. It's just that Shi Bin still doesn't want to build a capital there.

"Big brother, if you don't want to build the capital of Xi'an, it's not bad to be in Bianliang and Luoyang." Li Chao saw what Shi Bin was thinking and said, "Xi'an is now in decline, and it is not suitable to build a capital because it is threatened by the north. And Bianliang and Luoyang are located in important places in North China, which can take care of the whole country without too many threats, so these two places are good. As for Youzhou, it was still too backward at this time, and the younger brother did not approve of building the capital there. ”

Li Chao's words are reasonable, and they are more realistic than what Wang San said, so Shi Bin likes it very much and agrees.

"Then do you think Bianliang or Luoyang is better? Both cities are pretty much the same now. Shi Bin smiled.

"I think it's better to be in Luoyang." Sai Xi Shi whispered, "The Song Dynasty has never raised its head from beginning to end, it's too useless." Building the capital in Bianliang will make people think that we are the second Great Song Dynasty. ”

Everyone felt that Sai Xishi's words were very reasonable. Therefore, everyone ruled out Bianliang again, and decided to make Luoyang, which can stand side by side with Xi'an, as the capital. However, in order to effectively govern the entire territory of Daxiang, Shi Bin finally decided to take Luoyang as the capital and Lin'an as the accompanying capital.
