The size of the boat Xiao Xuan took was not small, and it did not use too many manpower oarsmen, but more people pulled the fiber on the shore. At the beginning, the news of the relocation of the capital made many people on the canal feel the pressure and the prospect was bleak. There is no doubt that since the capital migrated from Nanjing to Beijing, many people along the canal have made a living by pulling fiber. After the relocation of the capital, even if there is still a need for north-south transportation, there is no doubt that the various revenues on the canal will be greatly reduced. This made Xiao Xuan have to redistribute the interests on the basis of Huangzhuang, Wangzhuang and even Juntun, which had been confiscated and rectified in many places such as Beizhili and even Shandong and Henan, so that in the end, there was not too much chaos. It's just a move to the capital, and Xiao Xuan's concern for the interests of others has also made the slender men at this time completely let go of their worries, and the speed of the fleet seems to be much faster than the fleet transporting grain on the canal in the past.

After several years of arduous expeditions, the people around Xiao Xuan were also extremely happy, because many people understood. In the South, quite a few interests are clearly waiting for them. Xiao Xuan fell into deep thought in the room. In many things, the children in the pro-guard camp around them may be suitable objects for more discussion, but in other things, it is difficult for these teenagers who are not much more experienced than themselves to give themselves some references.

Among his cronies and even former cronies, perhaps Cao Huachun is still a person who has dealt with a lot of aspects and does not have too many obsessions. Therefore, Xiao Xuan found Cao Huachun and Pang Tianshou, who had given him great help many years ago, and he would have some of his own concerns.

"When I went south this time, I originally planned to move the capital to Suzhou instead of Nanjing. As for where I lived, I didn't consider myself a true emperor in every way, so I didn't need to follow the old rules. The economic center of gravity in the southeast is obvious, and Suzhou on the shores of Taihu Lake is the most important place. However, I am also worried that after the entire central capital moves to Suzhou, the power and daily procurement and consumption of these people around them will destroy the environment in Suzhou, and it seems that Nanjing City is more suitable... ”

Pang Tianshou, as a cronie who stayed away from Xiao Xuan's side earlier, and also a person who knew Xiao Xuan to some extent, also knew that he should not show too much estrangement at this time, so he said bluntly: "If the king moves the capital to Suzhou, does it have a plan to make it more convenient for him to go out to patrol and supervise all parties?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Xuan didn't reply, Pang Tianshou said solemnly: "Your Majesty and even our group of people have made too many enemies in Jiangnan, I'm afraid that not only the old forces in the south of the country, but some other people may also be dissatisfied. Don't risk yourself, I'm afraid you'll get half the result in some things... ”

Of course, Xiao Xuan is not superstitious about the so-called traditional micro-service private interview, and he also understands that it is undoubtedly a great adventure to do so when he is not a superpower like a master of the low-martial world fantasy world: "Even if I want to go on patrol, of course I will not go on the road alone or with only dozens of hundreds of personal guards." Just like when I was in the capital."

"In this case, there is not much difference between Nanjing or Suzhou and Hangzhou. And the king is a rare son of heaven who really has real power throughout the ages. It is not difficult to have temporary permanent palaces in Shuntianfu, Hangzhou, and Suzhou... ”

Hearing Pang Tianshou say this, Xiao Xuan was finally relieved. Of course, Cao Huachun could see that Xiao Xuan seemed to have a kind of pressure and hidden worry in his heart.

Xiao Xuan didn't hide it after thinking for a while, and sighed: "Since ancient times, once a son of heaven and a courtier. Presumably, the same is true of the royal merchants... ”

Under normal circumstances, no one may be able to hear anything like this, but Cao Huachun has understood some of the things issued by the Central Publishing House, and he also understands Xiao Xuan's thoughts: "For example, today, it is no longer the situation of the secession of the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is difficult for a wealthy businessman with no background to survive in the world." Even if there is such a person, is it really a blessing in the world? ”

Xiao Xuan didn't say anything more at this time, after a few years of monarchical experience, Xiao Xuan himself also understood that although his power was now within the scope of the ancient regime, it was not necessarily inferior to Qin Shihuang or Zhu Yuanzhang. But even Qin Shi Huang or Zhu Yuanzhang and other strong monarchs, they are also capable of doing something, and they can't do something, and under the unified political pattern at this time, the cronies around them have no white gloves or even commercial interests? Even if this can be done temporarily, it will never become a stable mechanism and function. Sometimes Xiao Xuan also thinks: Maybe those imperial merchants and merchants who are born around him can exert some cultural and ideological influence on their own terms. If it is "indigenous" in the outright sense, it is even less likely to be influenced by itself.

It's just that remembering some things when he first ascended the throne, Xiao Xuan quickly denied this idea: even if the people around him want to get enough benefits, they must take a back seat to make it possible. The direct correlation with authority is something that one cannot overindulge. From ancient times to modern times, one of the major drawbacks of the government-run economy is that it is precisely because it has greater energy that it will make the top managers pay greater governance costs, and it may not be effective?

During the fleet's slow southward journey, Xiao Xuan gradually had some new ideas. Although I don't know if it is feasible or not, it is impossible for me not to make any efforts and take any risks in order to establish a new order in the true sense of the word.

The southward migration in the summer did not encounter much difficulty, although the scale of the people who moved south with Xiao Xuan, including some family members, was as large as more than 100,000 people, but perhaps this was only the first time, and many local hoarders could still barely cope with it.

When the fleet arrived in Yangzhou City along the canal, because many people had the habit of paying according to the price according to Xiao Xuan's requirements, it seemed that many people near Yangzhou were also attracted to join in the excitement like rushing to the market, and Xiao Xuan also planned to let others gradually complete the migration to Nanjing City, and now stationed in Yangzhou for a period of time.

In the temporary camp at the head of Yangzhou City, Xiao Xuan first summoned many people in the Shanxi Guild Hall. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to transport grain to the border more efficiently, the Zhongkai Law has been implemented for a long time, that is, when the peasant war rose at the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, the long-term Zhongkai Law was loosened to a certain extent, but Xiao Xuan also understood. Nowadays, when the entire world island tends to be unified, the transportation status of the Shanxi region may be better than that of the early Ming Dynasty.
