Time.

There was silence in the living room, and you could hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere became unusually solemn.

After a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, held back the anger in his heart, and said:

"I don't know... Why did you say that, sir? ”

"What's wrong with moving the capital to Fengyang?"

"The current capital city is Yingtian, located in the south of the Yangtze River, far away from the Central Plains, and thousands of miles away from the northern border."

"Once there is a war there, even a decision will take dozens of days to arrive."

"This will delay the military aircraft and cause insecurity in the north."

"What's more, those who win the world are not the best policy to build the capital in the Central Plains."

"So move the capital to Fengyang, this place is adjacent to the Central Plains, there is the Yangtze River in front, there is the Yellow River in the back, there is such a dangerous place, why not build a capital?"

"Although Ying Tianfu has the Yangtze River natural risk, there are actually many hidden dangers, which cannot last long."

"Also, Mr. is familiar with history, and he must know that most of the dynasties that have built their capitals in Yingtianfu from ancient times to the present are short-lived, and every time we think of this, we feel that it is difficult to sleep and eat."

Zhu Yuanzhang said this, picked up his fingers, and counted:

"Eastern Wu took Yingtian as its capital and existed for more than 60 years, the Southern Song Dynasty for more than 50 years, the Southern Dynasty Qi State for more than 20 years, the Southern Dynasty Liang State for more than 50 years, the Southern Dynasty Chen for more than 30 years, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms for more than 30 years in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the longest Eastern Jin Dynasty was only a hundred years..."

"So many imperial courts have built their capitals here, and they are all so short-lived, how can I build a capital here and live here for a long time?"

"Sir, it is often said that we should learn from history, aren't we preparing to move to the Central Capital according to history?"

"Mr. said that you can't build a capital in Fengyang?"

"We can't figure it out, please give me advice!"

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's heartfelt words, Lin Che couldn't help but shake his head and sigh:

"Your Majesty said so much, whether it is true or not, you must know better than anyone else."

"Do you have to say it in front of all the princes?"

"I don't think that's necessary, do you?"

"I won't talk about it!"

Lin Che didn't want to tell the little Jiujiu in his heart in front of Lao Zhu's wife and son, don't let him, who is a father, not be able to come to the stage.

How do you know that Zhu Yuanzhang is actually more energetic, with a posture of who I am afraid of, I am not convinced:

"Say!"

"Sir, just say it to your face!"

"We are not people who can't hear other people's opinions"

"As long as what Mr. said is reasonable, we will stop the project in Zhongdu immediately."

"We know what Mr. means, is Fengyang our hometown, can't we move the capital?"

"Fengyang is indeed a good place to build a capital, let's not avoid this suspicion."

Hear that.

Zhu Zhang's nervous palms were sweating, if it weren't for the prince Zhu Biao beside him, he would have stepped forward to help Lin Che Yuanzi.

In the Imperial Prison before, he talked to Lin Che about this topic.

However, at that time, Lin Che only pointed out the trickiness of moving the capital, but did not give the best answer.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient."

Lin Che looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with an expression eager to argue, and smiled indifferently:

"Since Your Majesty has to force the subordinates to say it, it is better to obey the order than to be respectful."

"Fengyang, an inconspicuous small place along the Huai River, has only four counties under its jurisdiction, and there are no high mountains and dangerous passes around."

"And every time the Yellow River and the Huai River flood, Fengyang will suffer."

"The land impacted by the Yellow River and the Huai River is not suitable for production and life at all, and the endless plains are most suitable for the cavalry attack of the northern grassland peoples."

"Building the capital in Fengyang is like Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of soldiers and horses need to be stationed to protect the capital, and there is no food support in the local area, so it is necessary to transfer grain from the south of the Yangtze River, these expenses are huge, and finally become a drag on the dynasty like the Northern Song Dynasty."

"Since Your Majesty is talking about history, let's also say that before the Ming Dynasty, Fengyang was not recorded in the history books, except for the occasional mention in the war in the Huai River Valley, the rest of the time is like it does not exist..."

"A backcountry where birds don't poop."

"Establish the capital, you can't think of it."

As he spoke, Lin Che raised his eyebrows to meet Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp eyes, and said calmly:

"Building the capital in Fengyang is equivalent to building a high-rise building on the ground, and the difficulty of construction and the amount of money consumed are a little more than in Chang'an, Luoyang, and even Kaifeng."

"When the time comes, a large number of immigrants will have to be immigrated, isn't this a waste of money and labor?"

After a pause, Lin Che continued:

"There is also the backward infrastructure in Fengyang, and everything has to be rebuilt."

"As the capital, in addition to the palace and the palace of the minister and duke, even the houses of ordinary people have to be rebuilt."

"There are also official roads that connect to the outside in all directions, which need to be rebuilt."

"Post stations, granaries, barracks, prisons, and so on will be built."

"Fengyang is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Huai River, and it is the most vulnerable to disasters, so these water conservancy projects need to be built, right?"

"How much silver does it cost to do this!"

"How thick is my family background to withstand such a toss?"

"Dare to ask Your Majesty if you have counted it all?"

"At the beginning of the dynasty, there was a lot of construction, and you must know what the end would be."

"I've talked about these in my previous lectures, and if you ask the prince to flip through the records, you'll know."

Regarding Lin Che's sharp but methodical refutation, Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly speechless, thought for a moment, and still argued:

"What Mr. Lin said is an exaggeration."

"If we do this, we are not building a large number of buildings, costing people and money."

"Build your own hometown with your own hands, the villagers are full of energy, and we have personally inspected Zhongdu before."

"Everyone is building, and there are no complaints."

"Besides, isn't this the cash-for-work that Mr. talked about before? The common people have made money by building the capital, and our capital has been built. ”

"Fengyang has been exempt from taxes since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the fathers and villagers there are living a good life."

"Wouldn't it be nice to make money while enjoying the life of the future residents of the capital?"

As soon as this statement came out.

Lin Che drank the tea and almost squirted:

"Hearing Your Majesty say this, it's a little justified."

"Everything Your Majesty does is as if it is for the happy life of the people."

"Actually, I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking in your heart?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang avoided Lin Che with a little weakness, as if he could see through his thoughts.

Lin Che put down the teacup and stared at Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't save face for him this time, but directly pointed to the core:

"Your Majesty, you don't have to do Tai Chi here with me, this is not the court."

"To put it bluntly, Your Majesty is bent on making Fengyang the central capital..."

"Everything is selfish, it's nothing more than 'the holy heart misses the emperor's hometown and wants to live in Fengyang for a long time!'

"After all... Clothes do not return to their hometowns, such as brocade clothes at night! ”

"Am I right?"
