Chapter 219: Building a New Capital
At the castle tower at the south gate of Fukuyama Castle, Yang Wenli received the news of the victory sent by Yang Rentian, and he was immediately in a happy mood and made an amazing decision.
Move the capital, hehe! It can also be said that although Fukuyama Castle is not a capital city, it has not engaged in any civil engineering.
He wanted to set up the temporary capital of the Far Eastern Kingdom in Sapporo in the next few years, which is understandable, Fukuyama Castle is only the territory of the Matsumae Domain, and the original planning pattern is a bit of a small family, and you can see that the inner pill castle wall, which is less than two meters high, is embarrassing.
Geopolitically, Fukuyama Castle is also not suitable for the capital, it is too far to the south, and it is only separated from Honshu Island by a shallow Karumsu Strait, and it is close to the sea, that is, now, if it is put into World War I and World War II, the enemy can send a fleet to the coastal sea to bomb it with a few rounds of artillery, and Fukuyama Castle can be razed.
Sapporo means great river, proving that there is no shortage of water, this is the preferred element of a city, and it is one of the three plains limited to Ezo Island, and in the future, it must be the main food producing area of the Far Eastern Kingdom, and it is a place that must be heavily defended, and it is even more necessary to set up a capital there, and there must be a reason why Sapporo City is also the seat of Hokkaido, the largest city in Hokkaido.
If you don't say it, just do it, Yang Wenli is the king of a country, and there is no need to consult others, this is the benefit of feudal dictatorship, if it is a democratic society, such a major event as moving the capital, don't discuss it for a few years, don't think about it.
"Someone, spread my will, and several members of the Xuanzheng Yuan will meet you."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Liren, who was standing beside him, bowed respectfully.
Fukuyama Castle was already very small, and the Black Armor Army had just arrived, so there was no official office space at all, and those officials of the Constitutional Committee only occupied another castle tower to work, and a few steps away, after a few minutes, several government officials came in succession.
"Ministers and others to see Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty long live, long live, long live!"
"No courtesy, flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!
After the ministers bowed to each other, they got up and knelt on either side. Yang Wenli saw that several people were already seated, so he asked out loud: "Ministers, how has the drafting of the constitution been completed?" ”
Several people thought that Li Huaixuan was the greatest, and of course he replied: "Back to Your Majesty, although there are not many articles in the Constitution, it is related to the long-term future, and it is inconvenient to amend it, so our courtiers dare not be negligent and seek to be refined and safe, so the speed is not fast, and it will take another month to form the first draft." ”
"It's okay, it's right to be safe, there's no need to hurry, but other work can't be put down, especially the heads of several of your government departments, you may have to step out to preside over the necessary government work."
"The ministers are stupid, and I ask Your Majesty to give instructions."
Yang Wenli's headless words made Li Huaixuan confused, so he had to ask for instructions.
"That's the case, we tens of thousands of people stay here, don't do production, just eat the old is not enough, although it has passed the agricultural time, but this place is northerly, to see if you can still grow wheat, soybeans or something, in addition to our army ships berth, you can also arrange a part of the good water people, go to the sea to fish, in order to increase the supply of fish and seafood.
One more thing, I have just received a report from the front that our army has conquered the Ainu tribes in the south. It is not far from here, and the Ainu people call it Sapporo, which means big river.
Sapporo is one of the three limited plains of Ezo Island, where water is abundant and ideal for agricultural cultivation.
Now that our army is temporarily sending Fushan City, it is not a long-term solution after all, and I plan to set up the new capital of my Far Eastern Kingdom there.
You may not know that in this far north, the climate is unusually cold in winter, and it is not suitable for habitation, and the further south you go, the warmer the climate, and the farther north you go, the colder the climate, and the difference in temperature between the north and south of Sakhalin Island alone is more than ten or twenty degrees.
So in fact, Sapporo is also the best temporary capital of our Far Eastern Kingdom for the next ten years, and there is no second option.
Time flies, and with autumn approaching, we have to build enough houses to survive the cold and long winter.
What I mean is that we have moved to Sapporo except for the people of the Constituent Council, and we have more than 20,000 people, plus more than 10,000 Ainu, and we have enough manpower to build houses, and if we don't have enough manpower, we can also recruit Japanese people to build them, and of course, we are already my people, and we will not engage in forced labor, but pay our wages with real silver.
In the future, our country will not engage in the kind of things that cost the people and money, and if there is no money, it will make money, and it will be possible to engage in industry and maritime trade, and all kinds of methods will work, and I will only look at the results, and the government that can make money and spend money is a good government, while the government that only saves money but does not make money will be regarded as unqualified. ”
Yang Wenli vomited a lot of dry goods this time, planting and fishing is indeed a work that must be done now, and it is urgent, they are so devoted to the work of drafting the constitution that they have forgotten about it.
Another major event in the construction of the capital is also very necessary, and it is not a matter for tens of thousands of people to squeeze into Fushan City, a big butt.
Therefore, Li Huaixuan and the others immediately knelt down respectfully and said: "The ministers will receive the order!" ”
Yang Wenli's order, wait for two days before the army will set off, everyone is just temporary, and there is nothing to prepare, just leave, but it is simply done.
Speaking of lo, Xiaoyan'er is the mother of the country, and she should have to sit in a sedan chair, which is the basic etiquette of a country, but although Japan also has a sedan chair for women to ride, called "driving cage", but the appearance is too unsightly, and etiquette is not at all side, it is purely for transportation, "driving cage" is two people carrying a pole, and there is a hanging basket like something below, and women can only kneel and sit in it, because it is too small.
This kind of broken cage Xiaoyan'er naturally can't sit, so Yang Wenli had to ride with her, it was really a shame to go to the Far Eastern Kingdom's house, in the courtiers and the people of Fushan City kneeling and shouting long live, Yang Wenli's face was not very natural, after all, the king and the queen rode together, which was a bit unetiquette.
But Xiao Yan'er was very happy, so many people bowed to her, and her careful thinking was a little fluttering.
Isn't it? She is now a high queen, with a noble status, and whoever sees her has to kneel and bow down, do you think she can be unhappy? didn't laugh out loud, she was considered home.
Leaving Fukuyama Castle, Xiao Yan'er asked him, "Your Majesty, Sapporo is not far from here, right?" ”
"It's not far, but it's only a few dozen miles away." Yang Wenli replied casually.
"Alas! After living in Fukuyama Castle for a few days, I have to move again, and I don't know when it will be the end. Not to mention, the house is very delicate and elegant, I like it. ”
Xiao Yan'er is right, before settling down, she will move north again, and she is not very happy, after all, there are ready-made houses to live in Fukuyama City, and there is nothing in Sapporo, so everything has to be hard and simple, and start anew.
"When we get to Sapporo, we won't be moving again for a long time, and we're going to build a beautiful new capital there with beautiful scenery that you'll love." Yang Wenli's answer was full of passion, and he was full of hope for the future......
