Chapter 358: Moving the Capital
It is a matter of Yuan Li, even if the monarch acts with great caution. After thinking about it, she still feels that there is room for change in this matter, the so-called bustle in the world is all for profit, and the people are always the most pragmatic group.
If it's not about you, you will hang high. She must make everyone feel that Wei's 60 million taels of compensation is actually related to her, and it is not high in the sky and out of reach.
To amplify this feeling, the most direct and effective way is, of course, to raise taxes by the state. It just so happens that there is a war going on in the Southwestern Frontier, which can justify the tax increase. In this way, the people must proceed from their own reality and consider the balance between hatred and interests, as well as the gains and losses.
After all, all living people have to eat, marry a wife and raise a baby, and it is impossible to live by hatred alone. What's more, the tens of millions of taels of Wei also have a nice name called "compensation", which implies "the money that should have been given to you"; moreover, Xinxia did not form an alliance with Wei in the end, but only signed an agreement to establish diplomatic relations, recognizing each other but not interfering with each other and not encroaching on each other.
The signing of this agreement was within the minimum tolerance of the people, so everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this seemed to be good, and even Yuan Li rose sharply because of it.
But if there is no foreshadowing in front of them, if the royal court dares to throw out the agreement and accept the indemnity as soon as he comes up, the people will only poke at the backbone of the queen and Fu Lingchuan and scold the three lives and three generations, scold them for losing power and humiliating the country, and scold them for forgetting their ancestors. Instead of being like now, the Yuan Force is rising day by day.
Therefore, the means are very important, and the step-by-step method is very important.
When the dust settled on this matter, when Fu Lingchuan and Feng Miaojun sat down to drink a pot of celebration wine together, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This matter went well, thanks to your idea." ”
Feng Miaojun shook the wine in the glass lightly, and smiled without saying a word.
What the two of them drank today was the wine that Pu Lingguo had re-paid tribute, and it was mellow in the mouth but had a long aftertaste. Feng Miaojun didn't deliberately suppress the power of the wine, but only drank with a pretty face, the pair of Danfeng eyes seemed to be closed, and the autumn waves flowed, with a soft and charming meaning.
Such a stunning city, just appreciating it, I feel relaxed and happy, and Fu Lingchuan can't count the first times he has been moved. But although he had drunk a lot of wine, he remembered that in the past, many of the turmoil was almost driven by the beauty in front of him.
She's really not afraid of making a big fuss. Just talking about the tax change, in the past, all dynasties were cautious and tried repeatedly, lest it cause shocks in the government and the opposition, but she did the opposite, and this is what she wanted!
In fact, Changle is right, in this new summer of old-fashioned, outdated rules and ruins, if it is not broken, it will not stand.
"Changle, you are so bold. He couldn't help but sigh, "Aren't you afraid that things will change halfway and the situation will take a sharp turn for the worse?" The two of them braved the world's condemnation this time, and there were actually pits everywhere along the way.
The general policy is like this, often not following people's wishes, causing uncontrollable consequences.
Thinking back at this time, he has always been calm, how did he promise her to stir up the wind and rain together this time?
Feng Miaojun grinned and said: "At the beginning of the founding of the new summer, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? ”
Fu Lingchuan shook his head helplessly: "Nonsense! Do you know that I have received several secret reports one after another, saying that several generals in the northwest and southwest are extremely dissatisfied, and I do not rule out the possibility of taking the opportunity to make trouble." ”
"Something?" Feng Miaojun smiled, and took a basket of hibiscus crabs to eat, "Where to move? ”
It is not difficult to have the right to have soldiers and land, and to establish himself as a king. The problem is that Xinxia has a jiji, and these generals who want to make an independent gang must also have a jiji, otherwise it will be a rhythm that will be swallowed up in minutes.
Therefore, the implementation of the new policy seems to be risky, but Feng Miaojun and Yun Kui, who proposed the alliance, both feel that they cannot be forced to rebel. She also understands Fu Lingchuan's worries, the new deal involves too many people, and there are too many variables, which may lead to some uncontrollable results.
After all, there are many terrible consequences that start out with good and simple intentions.
Fu Lingchuan also smiled, with a complicated look in his eyes. Was she just bold and wishful thinking, or was she really planning everything and anticipating all the consequences?
......
The summer was over, and Fu Lingchuan quietly carried out the next step in the plan.
The agreement between Xinxia and Wei came into effect, and then a large amount of money and silver were put into the treasury, plus the tribute silver returned by Zhao Yun and the war indemnity paid by Puling State as a defeated country, and now the materials and gold and silver in the hands of the royal court were suddenly extraordinarily abundant.
The royal army and the private army in Fu Lingchuan's hands immediately began to expand, recruiting soldiers, upgrading their armaments, and growing in strength, and the three or four warlords in the east and northeast, including the red generals, also benefited a lot because of their proximity to the royal court and the queen.
Counting up, the royal court has been "transplanted" to the city of Usher for more than half a year, and he has adapted well, and at the same time stimulated the prosperity of Usel, and now all industries are thriving, and the population has exploded to more than 500,000 people, and it has begun to take on the appearance of the national capital.
In addition to the enthronement ceremony, Urssel City has witnessed almost all the major events that have happened since the establishment of the New Xia Kingdom, and now the scale of the city has been expanded again and again, in addition to re-planning, the outer wall has also been rebuilt in the name of renovating the old - this time, it is a full sixteen gates!
A discerning person can see at a glance that this was built according to the standards of the national capital. In the territory of Xinxia, another city with sixteen gates is Lubo City.
The royal court, which had been stopped for less than two months, began to make noise again, and many old ministers returned to Lubo City. Their roots are all in the west, and even if they move some of their industries to Usel, it is better to be at ease on their own turf.
The Queen of New Summer, who has always been gentle and smiling, announced in court this time very strongly:
Move the capital!
When she spoke, Fu Lingchuan stood beside her, so everyone understood that this was also Fu Lingchuan's decision.
The political situation today is completely different from that of half a year ago.
After receiving the indemnities from Wei and Puling, the central treasury and the queen were exceptionally wealthy, and the royal court's army and the northeast gate lords were expanded, becoming an important force cornerstone to support Feng Miaojun and Fu Lingchuan.
At this time, Fu Lingchuan is no longer the Fu Guoshi who had to deal with the important ministers of the royal court and the wealthy families in the west years ago.
has money and an army, and his speech is naturally full of energy, and his waist is also tough.
Therefore, the royal family resolutely moved the capital to Urssel, and the former Anxia capital has since officially changed into the capital of the new summer - in fact, it is only a ceremony and a formality, and the whole team is already in Urssel.
