Chapter 356: The Sixth Year of Kaiyuan
In the first month of the sixth year of Kaiyuan, the emperor Yunyi of the Great Qin Empire issued an order to move the capital, and the capital of the Great Qin Empire would be moved from Xinping City to Yunhua City.
When the message was delivered, no one raised any objections, on the contrary, many people knew that it would be a matter of time.
In the land of Shenzhou, Xinping City is a very famous city, the Dali Empire took Xinping City as the capital, the Shengwu Dynasty also used Xinping City as the capital, before the Shengwu Dynasty, there were many large or small countries that took Xinping City as the capital, even the Great Qin Empire, in the early days, also used Xinping City as the capital.
People are always nostalgic, but Xinping City can no longer keep up with the trend of the times, and those courtiers who once followed Yunyi from Yunhua County to Xinping City prefer to stay in the former Yunhua City rather than the current Xinping City.
Xinping City has its current scale after the expansion of the Shengwu Dynasty and the Dali Empire, the population of Xinping City has exceeded 550,000 at its peak, and the population of many counties in Guannai is not as large as the population of a city in Xinping City, Xinping City can accommodate so many people, which shows how huge Xinping City is.
Tan Binh City is big, but so many people live in Tan Binh City also leads to Tan Binh City is very crowded, except for the central area and the main streets, Tan Binh City other areas can be called dirty and messy, which is a common problem of the city in this era, limited by the times.
Only the cities in Yunhua County have undergone various transformations and re-planned and built cities in Yingzhou, and the cities in these two places do not have the common problems of cities in this era.
Also because of the use of a large number of reinforced concrete, Yunhua City in the high-rise buildings are very much, in Xinping City, in addition to individual buildings, the highest other buildings are only three floors, and in Yunhua City, the new buildings are not less than three floors, which also makes the rapid population growth of Yunhua City but does not appear crowded, but also because of the transformation of Yun's, Yunhua City has become orderly, dirty and messy phenomenon is almost none.
Before Yunyi founded the country and ascended the throne as emperor, Yunyi made a plan to only temporarily use Xinping City as the capital of the Great Qin Empire, and the capital of the Great Qin Empire in the future will be placed in the Yunhua City area, or in other words, the new capital is the expanded Yunhua City.
Moving the capital to Yunhua City, a region near the sea, shows that Yunyi attaches great importance to the sea.
After Yunyi became emperor, he ordered to mobilize some manpower and material resources to start the expansion of Yunhua City, and the original Yunhua City was retained as part of the new Yunhua City.
The new Yunhua City will consist of five parts, the central area and the four major urban districts of the southeast, northwest and northwest, the central area is where the mansions of the empire and the important ministers of the empire are located, and the original Yunhua City belongs to the Dongcheng District, and more importantly, the expanded Yunhua City will abandon the city wall.
Yunhua City is located in the southwest corner of the land of Shenzhou, if the enemy can reach Yunhua City, it means that the last area of the Great Qin Empire is left, it does not matter whether Yunhua City has a city wall or not, and the enemy on the sea, I am afraid that in the land of Shenzhou, except for the Great Qin Empire, no other country has explored the sea, and for other countries, the sea is still a forbidden place.
In five years, Yunhua City has completed a part of the expansion, at least the imperial palace in the central area of Yunhua City and the official residence of the imperial ministers have been completed, in addition to the original Yunhua City's Xicheng District and Dongcheng District do not need to be built, Beicheng District, Nancheng District, and Xicheng District have all carried out certain construction.
It is worth noting that in addition to the central area of Yunhua City, the lowest number of new buildings in Beicheng District, Nancheng District, and Xicheng District is three floors, and it is generally five stories high.
Five years have passed, I feel that the construction of Yunhua City is almost over, and even Yunyi took the train to Yunhua City to inspect it once, and finally decided to start moving the capital, moving the capital of the Great Qin Empire from Xinping City to Yunhua City, which also means that Xinping City is about to lose the status of the political, military, and commercial center of the Great Qin Empire, and Yunhua City will replace Xinping City.
Although the importance of Xinping City in the future is not as high as that of Yunhua City, Xinping City is located in the central area of the Great Qin Empire and is still the transportation center of the Great Qin Empire.
If you want to move the capital from Xinping City to Yunhua City, it is also a large-scale transfer operation, if in the past, such a large-scale transfer operation would not have been possible, not to mention the cost of labor and money, even the time it will take will be very long.
Before the Great Qin Empire, there were also countries that moved their capitals, but those countries moved their capitals, except for moving their capitals farther away because they were threatened by enemy countries without remembering losses, and the two cities where other countries moved their capitals were not too far away, and there were very few more than three hundred miles.
How can there be such a Great Qin Empire, the distance from Xinping City to Yunhua City is close to four thousand miles, if such a capital move was carried out during the previous Dali Empire, if you want to complete the entire capital relocation operation, it may not be possible to complete it in three years, and in these three years of capital relocation, the Dali Empire will also become chaotic.
However, the Great Qin Empire does not need to think about time.
Nowadays, Xinping City and Yunhua City have been closely connected by railroad roads, nearly 4,000 miles, the train can run 1,200 miles in one day and one night, and nearly 4,000 miles is a little more than three days, not to mention that the carrying capacity of a train is very large.
According to Yunyi's estimate, it will take a month at most to move the capital from Xinping City to Yunhua City, one month refers to the time for moving, and there is time to prepare before and after, and it is expected that the whole process will last up to three months, and with the current Great Qin Empire's rule over Guannai, three months will basically not have much impact.
With Yunyi's order to move the capital, Yunyi's courtiers began to be busy with the matter of moving the capital, before Yunyi had told the cabinet about the relocation of the capital in advance, Yun Yuankai, Zhou Shu and others had already made a plan to move the capital in advance, and with the issuance of Yunyi's order to move the capital, the plan to move the capital formulated by the cabinet was carried out in an orderly manner.
Five years ago, the heads of the major families landed on overseas islands, and finally chose the second path given by Yunyi to relocate their families to small islands, these islands that are not small in area are still under the jurisdiction of the Great Qin Empire, but the management rights are handed over to the major families, and outsiders are not allowed to land on the island without the permission of the major families.
Although there are restrictions on ships, Yunyi also promises like the major families that in the future, the major families can also buy ships from shipyards, but how long will this "future" be, Yunyi has not said that Yunyi will not let go of the right to buy ships if he has not explored the surrounding waters around the land of Shenzhou.
