Originally, Zhao Ji decided to go to Shanghai Mansion after paying tribute to Ouyang Xiu, but Empress Dowager Cao refused to let him go. The reason is very simple, Zhao Ji has no queen.

The two palace mothers gave a death order, unless the four queens and concubines were pregnant, otherwise, Zhao Ji was not allowed to leave Kaifeng Mansion. Zhao Ji was very satisfied with Wen Yanbo, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang, and Zhao Ji didn't ask about the affairs of the court anymore, and completely delegated power to the political affairs hall.

The bored Zhao Ji ran around the Li Family Horse Farm and the Dragon Guard camp in the south of the city during the day to train soldiers. In the evening, he had to return to the palace and sow seeds for his four wives.

The helpless Zhao Ji could only viciously marry his four wives who were still minors, but after rolling the sheets for a month, the four wives did not react at all.

It's okay now, all kinds of tonic products are on the battlefield, and Zhao Ji is sick to death. As long as he mentioned eating, Zhao Ji had a headache.

Isn't there just no prince? Zhao Hao decided to canonize his younger brother Zhao Hao as the emperor's younger brother. But whether it was the minister of the political hall or the mother of the two palaces, they disagreed, and criticized Zhao Ji together for several days.

Four times in one night, Zhao Ji felt like he was about to become a boar. Depressed, Zhao Ji could only let Cai Jing take the lead in Shanghai Mansion. In order to quickly build a city in Shanghai, Zhao gave Cai Jing the right to be tax-free and self-authoritarian.

One month, two months, the hard work pays off. In August of the third year of Xining, Zhao Ji's four wives became pregnant one after another. Zhao Ji finally got out.

In September, Zhao Ji transferred 5,000 people from the Dragon Guard Army to supplement the Golden Fire Cavalry and continued to train at the Li Family Horse Farm, while Zhao Ji took 5,000 Fire Cavalry and went straight to Shanghai by water.

The 5,000 fire cavalry and 15,000 war horses were all loaded onto the ship, and more than 200 flat-bottomed transport ships of all sizes were loaded. Zhao Ji stood quietly at the bow of the boat, his eyes were far away, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and Jiang Feng raised the yellow cloak.

There were three groups of people standing behind Zhao Ji. One is the top ten generals promoted by Zhao Ji from small soldiers, except for Luo Hao, who is still leading the fire cavalry to train at the Li Family Racecourse, the other nine people are all here. One group is the people of the Li Family Racecourse, the housekeeper Li Su of the Li Family Racecourse, his sons Li Peixiong and Li Peiyang, and the Mo family giant Tong Wenjiang. One is Zhao Ji's personal eunuch Li Xiang'an and his team.

Zhao Ji was in a heavy mood and finally walked out of Bianjing. In that comfortable and corrupt place, after staying for a long time, it is estimated that the bones of the body will be weak.

Shanghai Fuxin Town, Huangpu Port.

Huangpu Port is the port of Shanghai Prefecture, located in the northeastern part of Shanghai Prefecture. After nearly a year of construction and expansion, Huangpu Port has been able to compete with the ports of Dengzhou, Quanzhou, Hangzhou and other places. The port area is very large, a large number of merchant ships come in and out, and many seaborne trade in Suzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, and Hangzhou are attracted here. In addition to merchant ships, there were also occasional sailor warships that patrolled the sea.

The harbor has eight places where ships can dock, and the coastline is more than 900 meters long and more than 20 meters deep. There are many cranes and carts for loading and unloading, and as soon as the merchant ship docks, there are many foot workers who come forward to pull business.

The main export commodities are silk, porcelain, books, glass mirrors, brushes, paper, tea, wine and other handicrafts, and the imported commodities are grain, medicinal materials, fur, yellow lacquer, gold, silver and copper and other local specialties. Because Zhao Ji gave Cai Jing the right to be duty-free and self-authoritarian, there was no need to pay tariffs for trade in Huangpu Port, and in less than a year, it became a gathering place for maritime merchants, and trade continued.

The important thing is that the businessmen all know that the official family is going to come here, and this will become the official family's line, and in the future, the official family will preside over the development of Liuqiu and Huguang here. Wen Yanbo said that half of the capital is where the emperor is located, and this sentence is not false at all, and many businessmen are here for this.

The port of Huangpu was crowded with people, there were sailors, there were many customers and homeless people recruited by Cai Jing, and countless people were welcoming the arrival of the most mysterious fire cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty and the arrival of the emperor. In the minds of the people, Zhao Ji was a good emperor, because the new law abolished the errand service, because Zhao Ji came to lead them to open up the wasteland and settle them in the fields.

After ten days, Zhao finally arrived at Shanghai Mansion. Zhao Ji walked out of the cabin and waved his hand, and the people shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

The port was black and pressed to its knees, and Cai Jing's officials hurriedly cleared the passage and isolated the people.

"The ministers knock on the saint, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Cai Jing led his officials to salute.

As soon as Zhao Ji came ashore, he saw several familiar people: Cai Jing, Wang Anli, Zhang Dun, Xue Xiang, and Fan Chunren.

Not long after, Zhao Ji led the fire cavalry into the palace of Shanghai New Town. It is said that it is a palace, but the new city is built like Bianjing, with less gorgeous style and more majestic atmosphere.

Xinggong, Chongzheng Palace.

"Holy Lord, this is the layout plan of the new city, please Holy Lord's preview." Cai Jing brought up a map of the new city that had been framed.

"Cai Qing's family has worked hard, and I will remember your credit. Tell me about it! Zhao Ji's eyes had already fallen on the map.

Zhao Ji was very surprised, he thought that this was still a dilapidated small fishing village, and when he came to Shanghai, he probably had to go to Huating County to live for a while. Unexpectedly, Cai Jing set up a city like Bianjing in less than a year. I don't know if this is a manifestation of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, or if Cai Jing used some means that cannot be put on the table.

Wen Xiangguo sent a resolution order from the political affairs hall that Shanghai New Town was renamed Shangjing, as the sixth capital after Tokyo Bianliang, Xijing Luoyang, Beijing Daimyo, and Nanjing Yingtian. The construction style of Shangjing is based on Bianjing, and Wen Xiangguo means to build Shangjing as a new capital. Cai Jing first explained why Shanghai New Town was built like this, and was afraid that Zhao Ji would blame him for the construction of Shanghai New Town because it was too much of a waste of people's resources.

"Uh." Zhao Ji nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, whether the political affairs hall was currying favor with him, or did he want him to stay here all the time and not go back to Bianjing to make trouble.

When Zhao Ji was in Bianjing, he made Bianjing as nervous as a war every day, and both the ministers and the soldiers were very dull. I was afraid that Zhao Ji would suddenly patrol to them. Many princes and wealthy families in Bianjing were also afraid that Zhao Ji would raid their homes by disturbing Bianjing's words. Zhao Ji did a lot of these things when he was inspecting Bianjing. It seems that he has directly cut off the heads of more than a dozen dereliction of duty officials and the children of wealthy families who are doing nonsense, and also raided the homes of several officials on charges of corruption. Thinking about it, Zhao Ji's actions are really terrifying, and they are comparable to the white terror of the party-state in later generations.

"Shengshang, Shangjing is divided into two parts, the east and west banks of the Huangpu River. Dongcheng is a city of workshops and trade, all the workshops are built in Dongcheng, divided into six rings, the central three rings are merchants' shops, the outer three rings, the east is the workshop, and the west is the workers' residences. Most of the northeast corner is a warehouse, which is connected to Huangpu Port, which is a distribution center for goods. Seeing Zhao Ji nodding, Cai Jing picked up a wooden stick and pointed to the layout of Shangjing and explained it in detail to Zhao Ji.

"How many workshops are there?" Zhao Ji asked casually.

"1,682, and counting. According to the meaning of the saints, the weapons production workshops are all run by the people of the Shang Alliance, including gunpowder production workshops, rocket production workshops, gun carriage production workshops, Qinglong knife production workshops, armor production workshops, bow and crossbow production workshops, etc., a total of 78 workshops. There are also white glaze production workshops and glass mirror production workshops of President Li of the Business Alliance. There are 166 papermaking workshops, printing workshops, shipbuilding workshops, etc. There are the most various textile workshops, including hemp textile workshops, silk textile workshops, cotton textile workshops, etc., a total of 682. The rest is a variety of other workshops. Cai Jing introduced as he pointed out which location on the map with a wooden stick.

"Well, yes, well arranged." Zhao Ji praised it casually.

"Xicheng is the main city, and the layout is similar to that of Bianjing. In the center is the Imperial City. The inner city is all planned to be run by the four universities, each occupying a corner. The northeast corner is the Civilization School, the northwest corner is the Tiangong School, the southwest corner is the Weiguo School, and the southeast corner is the Jishi School. In addition to the four universities, universities at all levels, middle schools, primary schools, and Mongolian colleges and universities are also distributed around the four universities in the inner city. The inner city became a place for scholars. Cai Jing continued.

"Are all these built?" Zhao Ji couldn't help but ask when he saw Cai Jing talking so much. The Junshi Book City on the side of Bianjing was less than half completed when Zhao Ji left Bianjing.

"The government hall has allocated too little money, and the businessmen have not sponsored much, and now it is only less than 10%. However, the current population of Shanghai is only 2 million, and the population of Shangjing is only 300,000, and the built 10% is enough. ”

"I want to set up another political hall in Shangjing to assist the Bianjing political hall in coordinating the development of the stream. Cai Qing's family is the first assistant of the political affairs hall. Zhao Ji pondered for a while and spoke.

"Thank you to the saint for his grace, and the ministers must do their best to repay the grace of the saint." Cai Jing knelt on the ground and said excitedly.

Cai Jing was twenty-four years old at the time, one year older than Zhao Ji. Before he was admitted to the Jinshi, he worked as a small official in the yamen of his hometown county, and it was Zhao Ji who asked Wang Anshi to find him. In February of the third year of Xining, after Cai Jingzhong became a jinshi, he was directly promoted to the prefect of Shanghai by Zhao Ji.

"Alright, get up! Members of the Shangjing Political Affairs Hall, if you recommend some people, it is best to find a few people from the workshop owners in Dongcheng. Zhao Ji was thinking about the selection of members of the political hall.

"Yes. Holy. Cai Jing was overjoyed and asked him to recommend people, which was tantamount to handing over the Shangjing Political Hall to him.

"That's it. Let's talk about something else. Zhao Ji casually pulled Cai Jing up.

"To the northeast of the outer city is the residence of a wealthy merchant and magnate, and to the southwest is the garrison of the joint defense army, which now has 5,000 joint defense troops. On both sides of the street are two large markets, east and west. In other places, it was planned as a house for ordinary people, but the house had not yet been built, and the recruited customers and displaced people were allocated tents, and a total of 367,862 households were recruited, with a total of 1,835,000 people. Cai Jing continued to explain.

"So, there are more than 4 million people in Shanghai?" Zhao Ji asked casually.

"The recruited customers and displaced people are not counted in the household registration of Shangjing, they are all going to migrate to Liuqiu. The saint was busy with the prince's affairs in Bianjing, and Weichen had to arrange for them to build the capital pool first. Cai Jing broke out in a cold sweat on his back, afraid that Zhao Ji would continue to ask. Because he asked his clients and homeless people to repair the city, he did not pay the wages stipulated in the new law except for a full meal.

"Well, Cai Qing's family is the first assistant of the Shangjing Political Affairs Hall, although the Shanghai Mansion is small, there are now more than four million people, and the specific operation will be handed over to the Shangjing Political Affairs Hall. The development of the flow of things can not be delayed any longer. Did Cai Qing's family send someone to explore Liuqiu Island first? Zhao Ji did not ask how the city was built, but wanted to promote the development of Liuqiu as soon as possible.

"Not yet. However, ten days ago, General Xue Yi did not come to Shanghai Mansion, but took half of the sailors to Liuqiu. Cai Jing was busy building a big city like Bianjing to curry favor with Zhao Ji, but he forgot to explore and prepare for development.

Cai Jing was sparse, and cold sweat flowed on his back. I thought in my heart, this official who worships martial arts and heavy punishment is really difficult to serve!

"Well, let's wait for the news! For dinner, I will not leave you with the soldiers of the fire cavalry. Zhao Ji opened Liuqiu's map, which was provided by the Shang Alliance.

The map shows the distribution of the various indigenous tribes on the island, and several bands of water thieves have also taken root on the island. Zhao Ji had to worry about Xue Yi.

"Wechen retired." Cai Jing saw Zhao Ji looking down at the map, glanced at it, and found that it was actually the map of Liuqiu, and thought to himself: "Could it be that the official family has already made arrangements?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Ji didn't raise his head and said back.
