Chapter 510: The People's Choice, Oolong
Summer capital.
As the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty for nearly 10,000 years, it has been standing here since the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, and after the continuous construction of countless generations of monarchs, it has now become the first city in the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Especially after Xia Ren ascended to the throne, countless rare ores and powerful formations have been constantly carved on the summer capital, resulting in the summer capital becoming more and more powerful now, and it is estimated that even if it is a divine power realm, it will not be able to break through the defense of the summer capital.
This is still Xia Du's original weak foundation, otherwise it can be even stronger.
However, it is such a powerful summer capital, in the past few days, a piece of news has spread rapidly, causing all the people of the summer capital to discuss.
"Hey, have you heard? The imperial court is discussing the matter of moving the capital, and is preparing to move the capital away!"
"What? No, if we move the capital away, where will we live? Besides, now that Xia Du is the most powerful city in my dynasty, where will we move the capital?"
"I heard! I just heard that! I heard that the imperial court wants to move the capital to the Eastern Regions, didn't our dynasty just defeat the Burning Dynasty this year! The territory of the Burning Dynasty is larger than my current territory in Great Xia, so in order to facilitate management, the imperial court is ready to move the capital. ”
"Yes, I have also heard that because Your Majesty is majestic and wants to continue to expand my territory in the Eastern Regions, at that time, if the capital of my dynasty is still here, it will be inconvenient for my dynasty to expand, and for the future development of our dynasty, the imperial court is ready to move the capital. ”
"I see, it's okay like this, the stronger my Great Xia Dynasty is, the better our people can live. ”
The whole summer capital was talking about this matter everywhere, and the news came very suddenly, beyond everyone's expectations, just one day, the entire summer capital was full of this kind of news, and the news spread to the whole country at a very fast speed.
Fengdu Building.
As a more civilian restaurant, most of the people will come to try it when they have money, and people from other places also like to come here to inquire about the news, because the people who eat and drink here are some middle and low-level people, and the news is more miscellaneous.
At this time, in the lobby, there was a scholar talking loudly about the relocation of the capital.
"Do you know? The imperial court's relocation of the capital this time is imperative, for the sake of the future development of my Great Xia, whoever dares to block the relocation of the capital will become the enemy of the entire Great Xia. ”
The scholar's face was flushed, his right foot was resting on the bench, and he was holding a pot of wine in his hand, and while drinking, he talked loudly about the relocation of the capital.
"Qin Gongzi, how much else do you know about moving the capital? Tell us more, let's pay for today's drink!"
In the crowd of onlookers, a middle-aged strong man shouted.
When the scholar heard this, he snapped, slapped the table, and said loudly: "Okay, since you officials want to hear the details of this, I will tell you about it, shopkeeper, another pot of wine, a plate of peanuts!"
After speaking, the scholar looked around and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the decision to move the capital this time is a decision made by me and several cabinet ministers on my pilgrimage, so it is basically impossible to change. ”
"However, at present, our dynasty has not yet found a suitable place to establish a capital in the Eastern Regions, I heard that His Majesty has sent Li Chunfeng Li Deputy Pavilion Master of the Star Picking Pavilion to personally go to the Eastern Regions to find a suitable place for my dynasty to build a capital, I believe that in the near future, our dynasty will be able to establish a capital city in the Eastern Regions that has been passed down through the ages. ”
"However, it is not so easy to move the capital, because it involves many aspects, for example, the people of the Xia capital now, if the imperial court moves the capital, then their assets will be seriously reduced. ”
Speaking of this, the scholar glanced at the smiling shopkeeper behind the counter, and said loudly: "Shopkeeper Zhao, if the imperial court really moves the capital, do you think you will be happy?"
Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Of course not, if the capital is moved, then the value of the old restaurant will not be three, and there will be fewer and fewer people coming, especially guests from other places, because they are all coming to the summer capital, if the summer capital is no longer the national capital, I am afraid that the number of people who come will decrease sharply." ”
"However, since the move of the capital is a decision of the imperial court and is related to the development of our dynasty, then even if the old man goes bankrupt, he is willing to pay this price. ”
The scholar surnamed Qin nodded, then looked at the people around him, and said loudly: "Do you hear? This is the impact of moving the capital, or is it part of the influence, but since Your Majesty took office, have you treated the people of my dynasty badly?"
"Therefore, Your Majesty and several cabinet ministers have discussed for three days and three nights without closing their eyes, and finally came up with a plan, that is, to prepare to compensate the people who have settled in the summer capital!"
"Of course, the amount of this compensation will definitely not be too much, but it will not be too little, this is just an attitude of Your Majesty, that is, he will not treat any of the people of my dynasty badly, as long as it is the people of my Great Xia, then Your Majesty will always keep it in his heart, even if the court is bitter and tired, it will not treat you badly. ”
"I believe you also know that my dynasty has just conquered the huge territory in the Eastern Regions, and there are countless people there who are ready to join my Great Xia, with Your Majesty's character, I will definitely give them a lot of compensation, which is already a huge burden for my Great Xia. ”
"I heard that Your Majesty is selling and selling the treasures in the palace to buy resources to compensate the people over there, so that they can return to my Great Xia, but even so, Your Majesty will still not treat everyone who is doing it badly, as long as the capital is moved, the imperial court will definitely compensate you!"
As soon as the words fell, among the crowd of onlookers, some people shouted: "We don't want to compensate, Your Majesty has never treated us badly since he came to the throne, and all kinds of policies and benefits are also extremely friendly to our people, now that the resources of the imperial court are scarce, how can we let Your Majesty break the bank!"
As soon as these words came out, he immediately added: "Yes, moving the capital is for the better development of my Great Xia, since we are a member of Great Xia, we can't drag Your Majesty back, isn't it just that our assets are shrinking? As long as we don't starve to death, if we don't have Your Majesty, it's still a question of whether we can live a good life now!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I agree, we don't want to compensate, if the court lacks resources, we can donate, and please don't sell items in the palace, Your Majesty is a saint who is rare to see in the ages, we can't let Your Majesty suffer!"
"I agree, let's go, we'll donate now!"
“......”
A group of people walked towards the street office!
......
Palace.
Mingxin Temple.
Xia Ren sat on the top and quietly watched the chapter, like a Ming Jun.
At this time, Zhuge Liang walked in from outside, saluted first, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, now the people in the city are angry and have run to the offices of their respective streets. ”
Xia Ren was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "What's the matter? Could it be that the people are dissatisfied with the relocation of the capital?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty misunderstood, these people are not going to make trouble, but to donate, and some even carry the tables, chairs and benches at home over, saying that they want to donate to the imperial court, so that Your Majesty will stop selling items in the palace, and they are willing to donate money to make up for the financial shortcomings of the imperial court!"
"Uh......"
Xia Ren was really stunned at this time!
"Donations, sell things, lack of finances?"
Xia Ren looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously: "Kong Ming, what do you mean by this?"
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bowen on the side with a smile, and quipped: "This is going to ask the Prime Minister, these are the methods that the Prime Minister came up with." ”
Xia Ren looked at Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen had no choice but to stand up and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed operated by Weichen, didn't Your Majesty say that the news of the relocation of the capital should be disseminated, and Weichen thought, it is not enough to just distribute the news, but also let the people calm their grievances." ”
"So Weichen found some disciples from the academy and went to major restaurants to spread the news, saying that the imperial court moved the capital for better development, and His Majesty would not treat every citizen badly, and would compensate them, and then said that the imperial court in order to compensate the people of the Eastern Regions, the current treasury is empty, and His Majesty has begun to sell palace objects to replenish the treasury, but it will still not treat the people of the summer capital badly. ”
"Who knows, the people of the summer capital love Your Majesty so much, as soon as they heard the news, they all said that they didn't want compensation, and they had to donate their own money, saying that they wanted to make up for the shortcomings of the imperial court and let Your Majesty stop selling the palace's objects. ”
After speaking, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty is so loved by the people, it is really my blessing in Great Xia!"
After hearing this, Xia Ren couldn't cry or laugh, and after a while, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Prime Minister! What a great idea!"
"Since you came up with this idea, then the problem is up to you, remember, the court does not accept donations from the people, and we are not down to this point. ”
"Minister, obey!"
Liu Bowen smiled bitterly and prepared to go out to solve the matter.
"Slow down, Prime Minister, when you solve this problem, remember that you can't mention me, and you can't let the people misunderstand. ”
"Minister, got it!"
At this time, a large number of people gathered in each sub-district office in the summer capital, some holding pots and pans, some holding tables, chairs and benches, and some holding jewelry boxes, jade boxes and the like, lined up one after another, ready to donate materials to the imperial court.
And the officials in the office are also a headache, they have not received a notice from the imperial court, and they dare not rashly accept donations from the people, but they can't let the people gather here all the time, all of them are in a dilemma.
At this moment, an official came from a distance and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, just now the Prime Minister gave an order, he said that no matter how hard and tired the court is, it can't take a stitch from the people, and now although the court is short of money, the hard days will soon come to an end." ”
"The imperial court has now found a treasure in the Eastern Regions, which is the legacy of tens of thousands of years of the Burning Dynasty, as long as this treasure is obtained, then the imperial court can solve the current predicament, so now let's go back first!"
"Is what this Lord said true?"
Some of the people wondered.
"Of course it's true, I'm an official of the imperial court, how can I tell a lie!"
"Okay, in that case, take us back first, don't cause trouble to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty needs us, we can support Your Majesty at any time, even if it is to pay for our lives!"
"Yes, long live Your Majesty!"
"Hooray......
