Chapter 1006: Convincing the Clansmen

When Hua An heard this, his heart moved slightly, but after a pause, he still shook his head and said softly: "Don't be in such a hurry, after the palace is completely repaired, it will not be too late for this king to write to the court to move the capital." ”

Of course, the most important thing for Hua'an is not to wait for the palace to be repaired, but to wait for better news from the direction of Jiangnan, so that he can be more assured and bold to write to the imperial court and ask to move the capital to Luoyang City.

After seeing the artisan team leave Luoyang City, Hua An and his henchmen went to the camp outside the west gate of Luoyang City and inspected the training of the army.

Because in a few days, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong and Shuzhong will arrive in Luoyang City successively, for this reason, Hua'an asked the soldiers of the battalion to immediately prepare all kinds of materials to meet the troops arriving in the direction of Guanzhong and Shuzhong, at least, to let these soldiers who came from afar, feel the warmth of home, however, after these two teams arrived in Luoyang City, they would rest for half a month at most, and then they would go to Xingyang, so as to disperse around Luoyang City with the rest of the teams, responsible for defending Luoyang City.

The deployment of so many soldiers and horses around Luoyang City was naturally to ensure the absolute security of Luoyang City, and at the same time, it also put on a posture of deterring the world, which made all those who dared to oppose the relocation of the capital frightened.

In the direction of Jiankang City, after Xie An returned to the city, he went to the palace as soon as possible, however, he had not thought about what to say about Hua'an's request to move the capital to Luoyang City, so he did not report this matter to Emperor Sima Dan, after all, Sima Dan's age is still too young, and his ability to deal with political affairs is still very insufficient.

After completing the important things in the palace. Xie An hurriedly returned to his mansion and immediately summoned the prestigious figures of the Xie clan and discussed with them about moving the capital.

In the main hall of Xie An's mansion, more than a dozen respected patriarchs of the Xie clan all gathered together. Among these patriarchs, many of them are Xie An's elders, who not only have a high status, but also have a lot of assets and connections, and can be described as pivotal figures in the Xie clan.

"Uncles and brothers, there is a very important matter that I would like to discuss with you when I have gathered you here today. This is a very important matter, so there must be no delay. Xie An looked at the people in the clan and said.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, and all of them turned their eyes to Xie An, waiting for Xie An to continue.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xie An pondered for a moment. Zhengse said: "Uncles and brothers, you must all know. Many of our craftsmen in Jiangnan have gone to Luoyang City, and they went to Luoyang City to repair the palace of Luoyang City, and now, the palace will soon be completed. ”

Speaking of which, many Xie clan patriarchs understood in their hearts. After all, the cost of repairing the palace is very huge, and Hua'an cannot spend a very large amount of money to repair it for no reason, the purpose of which must be to make Luoyang City the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty. In other words, Hua'an will put forward a request to move the capital to Luoyang City.

"Could it be that the imperial court is going to move to Luoyang City?" A Xie clan patriarch frowned and guessed.

Hearing this, Xie An nodded, and said: "That's right, the Northern King has sent his henchmen to Jiangnan and told me the news first, maybe it won't be long before the Northern King will personally write to the imperial court and officially put forward the request to move the capital to Luoyang City." After speaking, he looked at the crowd.

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, although they had already guessed this matter since they learned that Luoyang City was repairing the palace, but when they heard about it with their own ears, they still couldn't help but be surprised.

These patriarchs have huge interests in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are naturally more opposed to moving the capital, and in their hearts, they deeply believe that the land in the north has long been ruined by the Hu people, and moving the capital is equivalent to leaving the rich and anointed land, and going to a barren land that has been ruined, which is naturally unwilling for every clan.

"No, we must not agree to move the capital, we must not agree."

"Whether or not to move the capital should be decided by the ministers of the imperial court, and no one can decide privately."

"The matter of moving the capital is a matter of importance, and it is by no means possible to move the capital with a single sentence, but only with the consent of the court and the scholars."

All the patriarchs, you and I have consulted word by word.

However, from the situation they discussed, it can be clearly seen that they are all against moving the capital to Luoyang City, after all, these patriarchs think most about their own interests, the interests are higher than a qiē, moving the capital to Luoyang City harms their interests, they naturally have to go all out to oppose it, as for those high-sounding reasons, it is just an excuse.

Seeing that all the patriarchs expressed their opposition to the relocation of the capital, Xie An sighed slightly, this qiē was all in his expectation, for the patriarchs who put interests first, he couldn't understand it best, but if he couldn't even convince his own clan, the rest of the clan would be even more difficult to convince, for this reason, he made up his mind to try his best to persuade his clan first, and then, in convincing the rest of the clan, in order to make everyone support the move to Luoyang City.

"Uncles and brothers, moving the capital to Luoyang City has certainly harmed everyone's interests, but the Northern King has made up his mind to give the greatest compensation to the scholars who have suffered losses, so you don't have to worry about the loss of your family property at all." Xie An said bluntly.

"How does the North King plan to compensate?" One of the patriarchs immediately asked.

"That's right! After moving the capital, our real estate and shops in Luoyang City will be greatly depreciated, can Beiwang afford to pay for it? ”

"If there is no satisfactory compensation, we will resolutely disagree to move the capital, and see what he can do."

The patriarch of the Xie clan said loudly.

Xie An said helplessly: "Uncles and brothers, although the king of the north has no money to compensate everyone, he promised to compensate three times the amount of land, as long as the scholars who have the land go to the north, they can get these fields, and this kind of compensation is already very generous." ”

"What, just compensate for some fields, what about the house? We have a lot of properties in the city. ”

"Yes! How to calculate the property, and also. If we don't want to go back to the north, won't we get nothing? ”

"No, the compensation of the king of the north is too little, we can't agree, we can't agree."

"It's cold in the north, my old bones. I'm afraid that I won't be able to adapt to the climate in the north, so I'll die in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

All the patriarchs objected.

Obviously, they are still used to living in Jiangnan, so they are reluctant to leave, and the damage to their interests by moving the capital is very obvious, so they naturally have to vigorously oppose it.

Seeing that all the patriarchs were strongly opposed to moving the capital to Luoyang City, Xie An felt very helpless, but. Hua An had already made up his mind to move the capital to Luoyang City, and there was no room for manoeuvre, so no matter how many people objected, Xie An had to try his best to convince them.

"Uncles and brothers, listen to me, now the Northern King has a million troops, and 500,000 soldiers and horses have been deployed around Luoyang City alone. He first spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to repair the palace of Luoyang City, and now he has put forward a request to move the capital to Luoyang City. If the court doesn't agree, what do you think will happen to the King of the North? Will he just give up? Xie An said with a slight threat.

Of course, Xie An didn't want to threaten the patriarch of his family, but since Hua An had made up his mind, he wasn't joking. If the imperial court really does not agree to move the capital, Hua'an may really use the Qing monarch's side as a reason to send troops south, which is still very likely.

"What, the Northern King has gathered 500,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang City. What exactly does he want to do, does he want to rebel? ”

"Oh, it's really not impossible, you think! The king of Chu is more noble than the current emperor in terms of blood, and now the king of the north has millions of soldiers, so he naturally has the idea of replacing the imperial court. ”

"Oh, according to this, if the court agrees to move the capital, the court will be under the control of the king of the north, and after a few years, the king of the north will usurp the throne and stand on his own, and if the court does not agree to move the capital, the large number of soldiers and horses gathered by the king of the north in Luoyang City will very likely go south, so as to directly usurp the throne!"

"Yes! Oh, yes! This king of the north is really a wolf ambition! ”

The patriarch of the Xie clan gathered together and said.

After all, if Hua'an really moved south because the imperial court did not move the capital, then the losses they suffered were likely to be greater than agreeing to move the capital, and they might even be killed.

People will always pursue the maximization of interests in life, but if their lives cannot be saved, then the pursuit of interests will become meaningless, at this moment, these Xie clan patriarchs are already thinking about how to save their lives and reduce their losses as much as possible.

Seeing that the patriarchs no longer strongly opposed the relocation of the capital, Xie An continued: "The generals guarding Xuzhou have already secretly communicated with the Northern King, if the Northern King really leads the troops south, the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou are likely to become the vanguard!" After speaking, he showed a worried look.

When the patriarchs heard this, they were immediately very surprised, and already felt that the imperial court was over, and if they wanted to plan for future generations, they should go all out to join the king of the north.

"In my old and foolish opinion, the king of the north can compensate us for three times the land in the south of the Yangtze River, which is already very generous, and as for the house, we can build it ourselves."

"Yes! Oh, yes! Our Chenjun Xie family, since we moved south, we haven't been back for decades, and we don't know what the situation is in our hometown, but now, we should take this opportunity to return to our hometown, after all, Chenjun is our hometown. ”

"Although Jiangnan is good, but it is not a hometown, people always have to return to their roots when they are old, my old bones, if they can be buried in their hometown, it would be the best."

The patriarchs said one after another.

Obviously, at this moment, they no longer have the courage to oppose the relocation of the capital, after all, the situation of the military strength in Jiangnan, they know very well in their hearts, especially the repeated defeats of Yin Hao's Northern Expedition, which made them completely lose confidence in the Yangzhou Army, and these patriarchs are generally older, they have personally experienced the rebellion of Wang Dun and Su Jun, and they are very clear about the possible losses caused by the war.

If there is a war because of the relocation of the capital, the property they have in Jiangnan will definitely suffer huge losses, and if Yan zhòng, their property is likely to be confiscated by the king of the north and rewarded to his meritorious subordinates, if so, they will be completely finished.

For this reason, they have decided not to oppose the relocation of the capital, and in the shortest possible time, they will sell the real estate they own, so as to prevent the large-scale depreciation of the real estate in Jiankang City after the relocation of the capital, and if you want to sell the property smoothly, the matter of moving the capital naturally cannot be publicized, otherwise, who would be so stupid to buy a house when the property is about to depreciate.

"Virtuous nephew! Moving the capital to Luoyang City is a matter of importance, or it should be kept secret for the time being, if it is rashly publicized, it is likely to cause chaos in the capital! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! The matter of moving the capital should still be discussed in the long run, and it must not be rashly reported, so as not to cause turmoil in the capital. ”

"That's right! The king of the north has not officially put forward the request to move the capital, and it is very inappropriate to rashly leak the news of the relocation of the capital. ”

Several Xie clan patriarchs said earnestly.

Xie An naturally understands the small abacus in the hearts of these patriarchs, but the palace in Luoyang City will be repaired soon, and if he doesn't convince the scholars in Jiangnan, it is very likely that he will miss a big thing, so he will not deliberately conceal the news for the benefit of the clansmen.

"Uncles and brothers asked me to hide the news for the time being, in order to sell the property in my hand! Of course, this will reduce some losses, but the people who buy real estate, won't they suffer heavy losses, it is too unrighteous to do so, and it will make all the people in the clan look down on my Chenjun Xie family, so that my Chenjun Xie family is in the same vein, how can I be a man with a straight chest in the future. Xie An looked at the patriarchs and said bluntly.

The patriarch of the Xie clan was pierced by Xie An's mask in front of him, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but what Xie An said was also very reasonable, no matter at any time, the reputation of the Shi clan is very important, and taking the opportunity to sell real estate on a large scale can certainly reduce some losses, but the reputation will suffer a lot of losses, and it is indeed a bit immoral to do so.

After some persuasion, more than a dozen patriarchs left Xie An's mansion one after another and returned to their homes, at this time, these patriarchs were all actively preparing to sell their properties, as for morality, they wouldn't think about it so much? However, if they can't sell their property in a very short period of time, their property won't sell for a good price. (To be continued......)
