"This matter must be implemented as soon as possible." Yang Mu gave instructions, saying: "The steel mill and paper mill should not only be relocated, but also expanded and renovated. ”

Expansion and retrofit?

Kong Shangxian looked at Fan Hongji, the expansion and transformation belongs to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Households, these six old government offices have always been in charge of Fan Hongji, and they must be able to speak a little.

Yang Mu also knew the division of labor in the Cangguo court, so he said: "This matter is not simple, you all listen to it." Regarding the reconstruction of these two factories, I have been brewing in my heart for a long time, and this expansion is related to the development of our Cangguo in the next ten years, and we must not be sloppy. ”

Hearing Yang Mu say so seriously, Kong Shangxian and Fan Hongji also realized that it was not simple, and listened attentively.

Yang Mu said: "After seven years of development, the two of you, as prime ministers, should be able to feel the remoteness of Cangcheng's geographical location, not only this Cangcheng but also the palace, which seems extremely small, which greatly restricts the development of my Dacang." It can be said that if my Cangguo wants to go further, the dignified country can no longer be like this. ”

As soon as these words came out, Kong Shangxian and Fan Hongji were shocked.

His Majesty the Emperor means...... Want to move the capital?

Since ancient times, moving the capital is a very big thing for a country, not only to consider the development potential of the new capital, but also to consider the geographical location of the country's control, if there is an external threat, but also to consider whether it is convenient to fight abroad, whether the water traffic is developed, whether the strong enemy attack is dangerous to defend...... And so on, are all factors that need to be taken into account.

Many small countries are only tall among the short ones, and the construction of a country's imperial capital is generally set up in the central area of the country, and few can take care of it.

To say that the most successful of the imperial capitals in various countries, probably the Jincheng is the most, from this battle of the Jin can be seen, even if the coalition forces occupy a great advantage, even if it is the capture of Jincheng, countless Qinwang army can rush over in a short time, even if the convenience of Cao Yun is lost, there are also land transportation in all directions.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, but my Cangguo is going to move the capital?" Fan Hongji asked cautiously.

"That's right." Yang Mu nodded and said: "Cangcheng is too small after all, and the location is too remote, from the perspective of the long-term development of Cangguo, it is very unfavorable, which one of the cave cities or Sheng cities is not ten times larger than Cangcheng?" Let's just say that the scale of Nale Yuan City is more than twice that of Cangcheng. Besides, sooner or later, my Dacang will have to go west in the future, and the location of Cangcheng is very important. ”

Sooner or later out of the west?

Kong Shangxian and Fan Hongji glanced at each other, and they both saw a different look in each other's eyes.

What does it mean to go west?

His Majesty the Emperor has the ambition to dominate the world!

At present, the Jin State in the north is no longer a problem, and even a lot of land is about to become the territory of the Cang State, looking at today, only the Chu State in the south can match the Cang State, but it is thousands of miles away, and it is not the main opponent for the time being, compared to the Ruan State and the Wei State, as well as many medium-sized countries in the Western Jin Dynasty, have become the main opponents of the Cang State.

If Cangguo wants to fight for hegemony, the first to surrender should be Ruan and Wei.

For a long time, under heavy pressure, Cangguo was forced to fight back, growing up step by step, and the war with the Dong State and the Sheng State, coupled with the battle of the Jin Dynasty, was just for self-preservation.

But what about after the fall of the Jin Kingdom?

Looking at the world, which country can despise Cangguo?

At least for ten years, if there is no big change, all the countries will not dare to invade Cangguo.

In the future, self-protection is no longer a problem that Cangguo needs to consider.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that the officials below will have a sense of stability.

But as a ruler, as a high-level figure, who doesn't want Cangguo to become stronger?

Overlord, this is the dream goal of the rulers of the world!

Does His Majesty the Emperor really have the ambition to compete for hegemony?

Kong Shangxian was very excited, he began to travel to various countries when he was young, and it was his long-cherished wish to assist the king of a country to become the overlord, and it was a great achievement that he could dedicate his life to.

At the beginning, the reason why he invested in Cangguo was because he saw Yang Mu's difference and decided that this was a monarch worthy of assistance.

Fan Hongji's old heart couldn't help but flutter.

As an old aristocrat, he witnessed the growth of Cangguo from a small remote country to a big country that made the world look sideways, whether it was for feelings or for his family, he hoped that Cangguo would become stronger again.

Seeing the two prime ministers like this, Yang Mu just smiled faintly.

Indeed, the former Cangguo was not qualified to talk about the topic of hegemony, and he had no ambitions.

But now, his mind has changed.

Which emperor doesn't want to be the co-ruler of the world?

The woman who sleeps best, eats the most precious food, and a holy decree goes down to the world, and no one dares to disobey it...... These are all grand occasions that only appeared in the heyday of the Dali Dynasty.

The struggle for hegemony, at best, is the hope of ending the strife among nations that has lasted for two hundred years, and at the worst, it is the most basic pursuit of a qualified monarch.

It's just that the word "hegemony" is too heavy, others can say it, but as the emperor of a country, he can never say it.

Because, the old hegemon has just fallen, as long as it is a slightly more powerful country, which one does not covet the position of hegemon?

If these two words are said at this time, it is really going to become a public enemy of the world.

Making a fortune in a muffled voice is the king's way.

"Okay, let's talk about moving the capital, after the second Cangcheng Alliance, we have to agree on the address of the new capital, and the palace here will be used as a companion capital. Both the steel mill and the paper mill will have to triple in size to meet the needs of the next decade. In addition, the steelmaking skills of the iron and steel plant should be improved, and the method of blast furnace ironmaking should be finalized as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Yang Mu finished speaking, Kong Shangxian suddenly realized.

No wonder it has something to do with him.

Because, this blast furnace ironmaking has always been the Ministry of Science and Technology in research and experiment, with cement and sufficient coal as the support, to build a blast furnace iron and steel plant, the difficulty is not very great, only need to follow the drawings and recipes given by His Majesty the Emperor, fire some tools, basically can be put into practice.

"On top of that, I'm going to build a food factory."

"Food factory?" The two prime ministers looked at each other.

"That's right, the various workshops that process instant noodles and compressed biscuits are also in the food factory, in addition to processing spices, spirits...... Wait, these are things that countries don't have, and my Cangguo will have to rely on these in the future to squeeze the money of all countries. ”（）
