Chapter 297: Moving the capital to Guangling

When he arrived in Guangling, Yang Zilu announced that in order to help Bai Gongsheng Kuang support the orthodoxy of the Chu State, the Han State would move its capital from Huiji City to Guangling.

However, as the national capital, although the geographical location of Guangling is very good, the scale of the city is not satisfactory, because Guangling City was built by Fucha when he was digging the ditch, and the purpose of the construction is to protect the ditch, so the scale of construction is naturally not large. However, the geographical location of Guangling City is good, located in the place where Hangou and the Yangtze River are linked, and is located in the west of Hangou.

The Huai River can be communicated through the ditch, and it is close to the Yangtze River, and the west can enter the Xuxi Canal through the Yangtze River to control the Taihu Lake area. The east can go to the sea and communicate with the southern part of the Han Kingdom through the sea.

But no matter how good the location is, the problem of the size of the city must also be solved. In fact, the problem of solving the problem of Guangling City is not large enough to accommodate many people, and this problem is actually very simple. It is only necessary to change the original Guangling Castle into an inner city, or a royal palace. Outside the original Guangling City, it is possible to build a city wall.

But as the saying goes, the problem that money can solve is not the problem, the problem is that there is no money. And Yang Zilu's current situation is similar, his biggest problem is that he has no manpower and material resources.

Wu Guo was originally tossed by Fucha and only half a breath was left, but then again, if it wasn't for Fucha tossing Wu so much, I'm afraid that Han Guo would not be able to fight big with a small one, and it would also be supported by the people of Wu Guo.

And although the Han State is stronger than the Wu State, it is not so easy for Yang Zilu to fight big with a small one, not to mention anything else. The standing army of the Han State under his command was withdrawn and stationed in various parts of the Wu State, but this is still some manpower after all, after all, the Wu State is much larger than the Han State. At the same time, Yang Zilu also needed to recruit soldiers and horses to fill the vacancies in the defense area after the transfer of soldiers. In addition, there are also levies on the people who transport grain, and so on. All this was done, and the manpower and material resources of the Han Kingdom were greatly damaged during this period of time.

This led to Yang Zilu wanting to build the outer city of Guangling City, but he was also powerless. Unless Yang Zilu is willing to forcibly recruit the people to build the outer city of Guangling City like Gusutai like Fucha, but there is no need to talk about Fucha's next time.

Yang Zilu finally thought of a way that was not a solution, and the original Guangling City was changed to a palace, because of the worship of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Yang Zilu named it Daming Palace. On the outskirts of Guangling City, Chinese people who had migrated from other places were housed, but there was no city outside, and in Yang Zilu's words, in order to protect the capital, the Han army had to be on the offensive all the time. Some are like the Son of Heaven in the Ming Dynasty guarding the country.

And those who were arranged to move to Guangling City were Han people, some were Wu relics, some were Shanyue people, and even Sanyi people. Although there are many people, they all have one characteristic, that is, they all have at least one member of their family as a soldier.

Among them, Wu has the most relics, but it is not that Yang Zilu values the people of Wu. But the base number of the soldiers of Wu is placed here, if Yang Zilu ignores it, he is afraid that they will rebel, so Suo surname will put the soldiers of Wu by his side, control their families and them, and he is not afraid that these soldiers will give him a defection when he goes on the expedition.

In order to show the importance of immigration, Yang Zilu is personally responsible for the matter of immigration, as the monarch. Of course, it is impossible for Yang Zilu to complete this task alone, and there are Kan Pingtian and Zigong to assist below.

According to the relocation plan, the migration will be completed by the end of February next year, and the subsequent migration will depend on the situation. However, after the immigration is over, I am afraid that there will be no need for a second immigration in a short time. At that time, a total of 20,000 households will be relocated, and about 140,000 people will settle in Guangling City, and the population of Guangling City will exceed 150,000 people in combination with the people who have migrated from the vicinity of Guangling City. It also makes Guangling City the first populous city in the Han Kingdom and the second most populous city in the south next year. (The first is Zai Ying of the Chu State.) Not long after Yang Zilu announced his relocation, Zhou Tianzi sent an envoy to give Yang Zilu flesh and canonize Yang Zilu as Uncle Hou.

This gizzard meat was used by Zhou Tianzi to commemorate his ancestors and was given to Yang Zilu. Naturally, it is not for Yang Zilu to eat, but a symbol of honor, and this gizzard meat is generally not easily given away.

And the marquis is not a marquis or earl, but a non-hereditary title. Hou is the princes, Bo is the long, the greatest meaning, together is the chief of the princes. This Uncle Hou, Jiang Taigong has gotten it, and Jin Wengong has also gotten it. The power is very great, according to the record: "Whoever is a prince, save the trouble, share the disaster, punish the sin, and give courtesy!" ”

To put it bluntly, this Hou Bo is equivalent to the world's policeman, and it makes sense to beat you. Yang Zilu had to be polite to the envoy and gave a generous gift to the envoy sent by Zhou Tianzi. This flattered the envoys a little, and now that the Zhou Chamber is in decline, these envoys have always been thankless.

When the envoy received Yang Zilu's treatment, he was immediately excited, patted his chest and said that he would go back to Zhou Tianzi and give Yang Zilu a knighthood. When Yang Zilu heard this, her heart immediately moved. He sent Zheji and an envoy to Zhou Tianzi, and also sent Zhou Tianzi two military chariots and 100 times, 10,000 sharp swords, spears, and 10,000 long ges.

was so excited that Zhou Tianzi couldn't calm his mood, this was the biggest tribute since he ascended the throne. Zhou Tianzi naturally reciprocated the favor and promoted Yang Zilu's title from viscount to marquis. In fact, Yang Zilu is just using these wastes.

Needless to say, Yang Zilu won't use much at all, so he will either be transformed into a baggage vehicle or sold. And the weapon Yang Zilu gave to Zhou Tianzi was either returned to the furnace or sold. It's not that these weapons are full of collapses, or tofu scum weapons, on the contrary, these weapons are still famous in the world.

Because they are all well-known weapons of the Wu State, the so-called Wu Hook Yue Sword, that is, the superb refining technology of these two countries. For example, Ou Zhizi and the cadre Mo Xie are all from Wu State.

However, these weapons are all bronze weapons, although to some extent, they are stronger than Yang Zilu's iron weapons, but they can't change the shortcomings of the high cost of bronze weapons. At the same time, it is impossible for Yang Zilu to have two logistics systems in one country, so it is inevitable that these weapons seized from Wu will be replaced, but Yang Zilu will use them as waste.

Poor Zhou Tianzi was still laughing while sleeping, but he didn't know that Yang Zilu was completely like he was a scrap yard.

And Zhou Tianzi's matter is just a small episode, Yang Zilu is still concentrating on immigration. But in November, an incident interrupted Yang Zilu's immigration plan, and Yang Zilu had to withdraw from the immigration plan. The matter of immigration was entrusted to Kan Pingtian and Zigong.

…… Daming Palace ...... "Qi Guo Wu Ming has seen the king!" Wu Ming saluted respectfully. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, when they met again, the identities of the two were completely different. The person who called himself the eldest brother at the beginning was already high, and he changed his name from Zilu to Junshang.

Yang Zilu looked at Wu Ming, who was kneeling below, and also had mixed feelings, but he didn't say anything, no need to be polite, the eldest brother was too polite and so on. is all because Yang Zilu's indifference is inevitable, when people sit in a certain position, they no longer think about their own affairs, as well as the dignity of the king, political interests, etc.

As far as political interests are concerned, if Yang Zilu is polite, and Wu Ming puts forward some requirements that are not in Yang Zilu's interests, what should Yang Zilu do? When the time comes, he will refuse with a cold face, and it is better to put on a more indifferent attitude now.

"Let's get flat!" Yang Zilu held it up for a moment and said indifferently.

"Thank you!" Wu Ming, who lowered his head, smiled bitterly, didn't complain anything, raised his head and sat on the cushion on the side.

Yang Zilu was silent for a while, and asked, "I don't know what happened to the doctor coming to find the widow?" ”

"Wu Ming came to see the king, hoping that the king could allow the Wu family to take refuge in the Han Kingdom!" Wu Ming said in a respectful tone.

"Huh? Isn't there a Bao clan in the Qi country to protect your Wu clan? Could it be that Bao Mu broke his promise? Yang Zilu was surprised.

When Wu Ming heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "No! Bao Zi (Bao Mu's honorific title) has been killed! Now the suzerain of the Bao clan is succeeded by Bao Xi, the son of Bao Zi. ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Qi Kingdom?" How did Baozi get killed? Could it be that the Tian clan rebelled? ”

When Wu Ming heard this, he was surprised: "Don't you know anything about it?" ”

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he immediately reacted and said with a wry smile: "No wonder you don't know, this thing is very sudden, Wu Ming also immediately came to Guangling from Qi Country overnight after knowing it, but it is estimated that this matter will not be ten days later, and the king will also know." ”

Yang Zilu swept the remnant bamboo standing in the corner with some blame, and the remnant bamboo couldn't help but feel aggrieved, and hurriedly explained: "Lord, since the lord is preparing to use troops against Wu State, the fine work of the inter-platform has been concentrated in the Wu State, and later there was a civil strife in the Chu State, and the focus of the inter-platform is on the Chu State and the Wu State. The other princes can take care of so much domestic turmoil, and now there is a shortage of manpower in the Qi country. Is this to blame? ”

Yang Zilu thought about it, too, but he was still a little dissatisfied, and said with a cold snort: "I will go to Zigong in a while and take a million dollars from him as a fund." If something like this happens again in the future, you can watch it! ”

When Remnant Zhu heard this, he was happy and worried, happy that there was an extra million dollars, and worried about how to make the detailed work in various places sufficient in a short period of time. After all, fine work is not a soldier, you only need to be physically strong, there are many requirements for fine work, and the training time is not short. But Remnant Zhu also knew that Yang Zilu had a surname, and Yang Zilu actually said so, and what he said would make it seem that his ability was not enough.

Wu Ming listened to it on the side, and immediately became a little embarrassed. He also knew that since the Han State defeated the Wu State, the Han State had attracted the attention of many vassal states. He naturally also knew that Remnant Zhu was the big boss of Yang Zilu's platform. He was afraid that Remnant Zhu would be angry with him, so he hurriedly helped Remnant Zhu explain: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the Qi Kingdom are relatively hidden, and it is not surprising that Doctor Remnant Zhu doesn't know. ”
