In the palace city of Suiyang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, in the entire Song Kingdom today, all the ministers who can be ranked up have gone to the main hall to participate in the first court meeting after the wedding of the prince of the country.

Everyone is looking forward to what kind of glory the entire Song Kingdom will create in the hands of this virtuous son who created the "Taoqiu Miracle"!

In fact, Dai Yan did not disappoint the entire Song Kingdom. The first order he issued was to appoint Hui Shi, the dean of the famous college of Taoqiu University, as Xiangguo and take charge of the national affairs of the entire Song Kingdom!

For such an appointment, the Suiyang nobles wanted to oppose it at the beginning, but considering that this was the first appointment issued by the new monarch after taking power, if they directly opposed it like this, it would be a little too ignorant to raise it! Therefore, they were surprisingly silent and did not object to the appointment, which they would regret later on!

Hui Shi himself was a native of Suiyang, and was not valued by the nobles of the Song Kingdom because he was born in the Han clan. So he made up his mind, studied hard, and continued to learn new knowledge, hoping to change his destiny through knowledge. Later, he read more and more books, became more and more knowledgeable, and broke into the reputation of "learning rich five cars", and thus became the most knowledgeable celebrity in the whole world!

However, even a celebrity with such a reputation could not be relied upon in the narrow political environment of the previous Song Kingdom, and he could only leave other countries to find opportunities abroad. This knowledgeable celebrity went to the Wei State, and when he saw the King of Wei, both sides greatly appreciated it, and Hui Shi became the minister of the Wei State with a mere Han Shi!

Hui Shi had the experience of being in charge of the Wei State, and if he was in charge of a Song State that was weaker than the Wei State, he would naturally no longer have to worry about it. The most important thing is that as a Hui Shi Hanshi, it was impossible to become the ruler of the Song State before, and all this has changed under the ascension of the new monarch! This made the Han soldiers and rangers of the entire Song Kingdom see hope, and made them realize that the Song Kingdom has really undergone great changes today!

After all, in the former Song Kingdom, anyone who could hold the position of ruler either had a close relationship with the monarch or had a big family background! When the Huan and Dai clans were rampant in the Song Kingdom, the position of the ruler, and even the position of the Liuqing, which occupied the highest power in the entire Song State, was either from the Huan clan or from the Dai clan, and the other small clans had no chance to get ahead at all!

Even Dai Yan's elder brother Zi Xi, who completed the great change of Dai's capture of the Song Dynasty, still can't break through this unspoken political rule of the Song Kingdom! During Zixi's reign, the ruling position still fell on Le Cheng, who belonged to the Dai clan, and the only change was that the position of Si Kou in the Six Qings became his confidant Hua Rong!

Dai Yan's simple act of appointing the ruling party does not seem to be too big, but it has actually changed the political rules of the entire Song State for hundreds of years!

If Hui Shi was in charge of the Song State, for the Dai and Huan clans, who had ruled the entire Song State for hundreds of years, it was nothing more than a change to the surface of the Song State's politics. Then the next action of Dai Yan and Hui Shi is the real bottom of the kettle!

This policy is to move the capital! Only three days after Dai Yan appointed Hui Shi, Hui Shi proposed a full set of plans to move the capital at the court meeting!

The capital of the Song State must gradually move all the central authorities to Pengcheng within a year!

As soon as such an order was issued, the nobles of Suiyang immediately began to oppose it strongly! After all, these nobles have been operating in Suiyang for hundreds of years, and once the capital is moved elsewhere, if they want to maintain their original power and status, they will have to follow to the new capital! And at that time, they no longer have the advantage of geographical advantage, and naturally they will not have the advantage of ruling the Song Kingdom for hundreds of years before!

However, such an order was strongly supported by Dai Yan, but Dai Yan didn't care about the nobles' thoughts and enforced this order!

Dai Yan wanted to move the capital, and the main goal was naturally to fight the power of the Song nobles, but why did he move the capital to Pengcheng instead of Taoqiu, his "land of Longxing"?

There's a lot going on here!

In Dai Yan's view, since the rise of Wei and the gradual annexation of the western territory of the Song State, Suiyang, which was originally the core area of the entire Song State, has gradually become the frontier of the Song State.

And Taoqiu, although it is also one of the three capitals of the Song Kingdom, and Dai Yan has been operating here for a long time, and his influence is deep, and it is indeed good to rule the Song Kingdom with this place as the capital, but Dai Yan did not do it at all!

In his opinion, Taoqiu is suitable to become the economic center of the Song Kingdom and even the world, but not the capital of the Song Kingdom!

The location of this place is too important, and if the capital is moved here rashly, it will inevitably be a little big for the stimulation of the surrounding countries of the Song Kingdom. And more importantly, just from the topography of Taoqiu in the Song Kingdom, it is not suitable to be the capital at all!

Taoqiu is located on the edge of Jishui, located in the northernmost border of the Song Kingdom, its north is the Wei State, and the east is bordered by the Lu State and the Qi State respectively, it is not too much to say that it is the north gate of the Song State! Although in later generations, my Dameng's "Son of Heaven guards the country" behavior is highly respected by keyboard warriors, and I feel that my Dameng is really iron-blooded and hard! However, Dai Yan, as a mature and rational ruler, would not have used such a purely "hard" idea at all to build the capital on the border!

The capital of a country is greatly affected by internal and external political changes, and if the capital falls, it may be the demise of a country! Placing the capital on the border can certainly inspire the courage of the soldiers to fight, but it also greatly increases the danger faced by the capital and the whole country!

At this time, in the Warring States world, except for some small countries that have no sense of existence, any big country with strength and ambition will not rashly put its capital on the border in pursuit of the so-called "hard gas"!

And from the perspective of the situation in the entire Song Kingdom, Pengcheng is actually the most suitable place to become the capital of the Song Kingdom!

First of all, it is one of the three capitals of the Song Kingdom, and its own status is very important, and it has the foundation to become the capital! Otherwise, it would be an extremely huge project to move the capital to a small city at will, just building palaces and even various official residences, not to mention the more practical things such as strengthening the city defense!

The foundation of Pengcheng is very good, and there is Song Jun's palace in itself, and then take out the official residence of the original Pengcheng Order, which is completely enough for officials at all levels of the Song State. The only thing that needs to be added is nothing more than the newly established left and right courtyards!

Secondly, in terms of the political balance of the Song State today, Pengcheng, as the capital, is also the place that can best balance the relationship between Taoqiu and Suiyang. Now within the Song Kingdom, the Suiyang nobles have an advantage in the left courtyard, while the Taoqiu merchants and scholars have an advantage in the right courtyard, and the capital's continued stay in Sui*** is weakening the strength of the Taoqiu family! For Dai Yan, who has always believed that Tao Qiu's strength is the basis of his own power, how could he tolerate such a thing!

And the most important reason why Dai Yan moved the capital was actually to hope that through this move, the entire Song Kingdom would be united and built into a united Song Kingdom!

The Song Civil War had just ended, and there were remnants of Le's and even Fahrenheit's forces within it, although these forces died down under Dai Yan's strength, it was hard to guarantee that they would not suddenly jump out one day!

And in order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to put the army controlled by Dai Yan in an excellent position, and once a rebellion occurs in the entire Song State, the army can be immediately mobilized to quell it! From this point of view, Pengcheng is actually the most suitable place for the entire Song Kingdom!

Pengcheng is located at the confluence of Surabaya and Danshui, walking along Surabaya, entering Heshui, and arriving at the shore of Heze, you can reach Taoqiu, his base camp; Walking up the Danshui, you can reach the entire central Song Kingdom, which was the core area of the previous Le rule; If you go down along Surabaya and arrive at Xiapi, it is an important water transport intersection, and you can reach the southern fiefdom of Qi along the southeast direction, and you can go to the land of the East China Sea along the southeast direction; If you arrive at the confluence of Surabaya and Suishui, and then go back along Suishui to the north, you can reach the original capital Suiyang!

It can be said that Pengcheng is the area with the best geographical transportation location in the entire Song Kingdom! It not only connects Sandu, but also connects all the regions of the entire Song Kingdom! Especially when the shipbuilding industry in Taoqiu is developing rapidly, Pengcheng, which is close to the waterway, can become a transportation hub connecting the entire Song Kingdom!

In Dai Yan's future planning, Taoqiu can naturally become the world's financial center and economic center because of its location as the world's water transportation center. And Pengcheng can become the regional economic center of such a small area as the Song Kingdom! The difference between the two is like the difference between New York and Chicago of the later American imperialists!

With the cooperation of such a powerful monarch as Dai Yan and a scheming politician like Hui Shi, the nobles who were originally reluctant to move the capital to Pengcheng had to agree to this plan!

Among them, in order to be able to deter the Suiyang nobles, Dai Yan even had to uproot two more powerful nobles with the surname in the name of plotting a rebellion!

At such a time, the Suiyang nobles really saw the sharpness of Taoqiu's sword, and finally knew that this monarch who started with Taoqiu was not so easy to deal with as the previous monarch!
