Chapter 431: Moving the Capital
The bus was born in a few simple discussions between the monarch and the minister.
After that, after discussing the infrastructure in the city, such as parks and landscapes, Yang Mu also walked out of the residential area.
"In the future, this new metropolis will become the largest city in the world, you must be prepared." Yang Mu confessed.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, inside and outside this city, there are enough to accommodate millions of people." Ou Ye pointed from afar and said: "In accordance with His Majesty's will, these houses are gathered in specific places, and the shopping malls have also demarcated areas to facilitate businessmen to trade, and the government offices are also gathered in one place to work. ”
Yang Mu was relieved, before today, although the current Cangguo has become a powerful country in the world, but his heart has not changed much, because as an emperor, he has always been in the palace, if there are no people around him, it is difficult to feel the praise of the outside world, in fact, the psychology of a big country is not very strong.
Today's seeing made a wave of pride rise in his heart.
Today's Cangguo, compared with the rest of the countries, has gradually formed an absolute advantage, and this advantage is still increasing, even if it is besieged by the countries in time, it can be a battle.
"Ou Qing, how is the progress of the Ministry of Industry's distilled spirits, soaps, perfumes and other materials?" Yang Mu suddenly asked.
As early as half a year ago, the Ministry of Science and Technology handed over the first edition to our Ministry of Industry, and the soap and perfume have begun to be sold to foreign countries."
Yang Mu nodded, in the past two years, following the glass, the Ministry of Science and Technology has successively launched distilled spirits, soaps and perfumes, except for distilled spirits, the other two have been launched one after another, and have not been used on a large scale in the market.
Because, this kind of chemical stuff, to a large extent, has certain technical barriers, even the Ministry of Science and Technology, must consider its side effects, as well as the promotion of derivative products.
In particular, perfume is a kind of thing that can only be used by the upper class, and ordinary low-grade goods can be packaged in small porcelain bottles, but it is better to use glass bottles for high-end ones.
Making money is secondary, anyway, Yang Mu wants to create an illusion in the hearts of the subjects of various countries that something is good in Cangguo and that he is very happy in Cangguo, and at the same time, by plundering the wealth of the upper nobles, he exacerbates the extravagance of various countries, as well as the class contradictions between nobles and commoners.
The world is co-master...... Is it?
This reminded Yang Mu of the goal that was spread by the subjects of Cangguo two years ago, and he actually had a special desire in his heart.
In the past, it was absolutely not so strong!
Is it because of the growth of strength?
Or is it that after calming down for too long, my heart has become restless?
"Not yet, we have to wait for an opportunity."
For a long time, Yang Mu suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and took a long breath, the current Cangguo could not show his sword, and it was the time when Taoguang needed to cultivate his obscurity.
What was the trigger?
Steam engine!
Electric!
Because as early as five years ago, when Tai Academy had just imparted knowledge of electricity and mechanics, the Ministry of Science and Technology was already researching and developing, especially the research and development of steam engines, which was the top priority.
Not to mention anything else, at least the materials used to make steam engines are solved.
The quality of Cangguo's steel is enough to build a durable steam engine.
Due to the power of steam, relatively little chemical knowledge is used, so as long as the Ministry of Science and Technology is willing to work hard, it will be able to develop it sooner or later.
"Steam engine, have you been involved in the Ministry of Engineering lately?" Yang Mu asked.
"Your Majesty, the manufacturing of the machine is not smooth, last year encountered some bottlenecks, fortunately has been slowly resolved, as expected, it should be solved in these two months, and mass production will be achieved next year."
"I hope so."
Yang Mu breathed a sigh of relief, he could help in terms of theoretical knowledge, but in practice, he could not do anything because of the continuous accumulation of experience.
As long as the steam engine is developed, then many things can be developed.
Real railways and trains will appear, and when the time comes, the logistics of Cangguo will be invincible, greatly saving the consumption of resources, whether it is the deployment of troops or logistics transportation, it is enough to beat any country in the world.
On this basis, with the use of telegraphs and telephones, it is simply to install clairvoyance and tailwind ears for the army, who can be the enemy?
And in terms of public opinion, Yang Mu can rely on this to prove his destiny, and the people of all countries still echo each other from afar?
A few days later, after Yang Mu inspected the vicinity of the new capital, he returned to Cangcheng to discuss the relocation of the capital with the ministers.
Among them, the main thing is the arrangement of the scale of the relocation, and these data have been in charge of Kong Shangxian in the past two years, designing the specific matters of moving the capital.
In September of the tenth year of Taiding, Zichen Hall issued an edict to move the capital, and named the new capital Xincang, the original old capital was renamed Ancang, as a companion capital, except for the administrative body, everything else, including the industrial city, is still retained.
In fact, it's also a transitional approach.
Because, in the future, the new capital will definitely be called Cangcheng, but in the past ten years or a hundred years, it can only be called New Cangcheng.
After the edict was issued to the whole country, the subjects of the whole country boiled over and ran to celebrate.
A few days later, the kingdoms learned of the change of the capital of Cangguo, and the joy and sorrow were mixed.
Judging from the location of the new Cangcheng, the purpose of Cangguo's expansion is obvious.
In recent years, due to the fierce development momentum of Cangguo, the pressure on various countries has increased dramatically, and even Ruan Guo, which has always been known as an ally, has been under pressure, not to mention those countries that are not very good at Cangguo in the first place.
In fact, the previous imperial capital of Cangguo seriously restricted the development of Cangguo and seriously mismatched its military strength.
It seems that such a country with strong military power, if it is freed from the geographical shackles, then it is impossible to imagine what kind of result it will be, and when the whole world is at that time, will there be a country that can restrict the country?
For example, large countries such as Chu, Ruan, Mang, and Wei were all deeply aware of the potential threat of Cangguo, so they secretly began to communicate with each other, and the envoys of various factions expressed their worries to each other, seeking the possibility of jointly clamping down Cangguo.
In October, all the countries in the world sent envoys to Xincangcheng, on the one hand, to congratulate Yang Mu on the joy of moving the capital, and on the other hand, to find a way to find out the intentions of Cangguo, to see if Cangguo is actively planning external expansion as rumored.
The envoy sent by the state of Chu was Qu Dan.
This person is no stranger to Cangguo.
At the beginning, before the battle of the Jin Dynasty, the Jin State threatened to go south to annex the Chu State, which was the Cangguo envoy by this person. ()
