Seventy percent of the Ming officials came from the south of the Yangtze River, even most of the nobles were the same, except for the heroes of Jingnan, there were not many who were willing to move the capital to Beiping.

Perhaps, even the heroes of the martyrdom are reluctant to go back.

The economic level of Beiping is not one or two points different from Jinling, and the two are not of the same magnitude at all.

For example: Beiping doesn't even have a decent green building!

Any medium-to-upper restaurant in Jinling is better than the best restaurant in Beiping, whether it is economy, population, or transportation, it is far from Jinling.

Zhu Di through the canal, a large part of the reason is to facilitate the tax transportation to the new capital.

The Ming Dynasty not only accounted for seventy percent of the officials in the south, but also paid taxes, and the taxes in the north were too small, and the officials in the rich land of the south, they could get oil and water by stretching out their hands slightly, and Beiping ......

Beiping in this era and Kyoto in later generations are completely different things.

Beiping is not only poor, but also has a very bad environment, with sandstorms and cold climate...... Everywhere is not as good as Jinling.

And the Ming Dynasty has been in Jinling for so long, whether it is a nobleman or a hundred officials, they have all settled here, and their wives and children are here, family resources, and children's education...... Li Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Brother Li frowned, is there anything bothering?" Li Jinglong asked.

Li Qing did not shy away from it, and told him the concerns in his heart.

"Indeed." Li Jinglong nodded, "Don't talk about others, just take me as an example, I don't want to go to Beiping either." ”

"Beiping... It's not that bad. Li Qingdao said, "Yes, it is not as good as Jinling now, but it is really in the past, and it will definitely develop rapidly in the future." ”

Li Jinglong shook his head: "The problem is not here, everyone has a sense of the countryside, who wants to drag their family all the way to Beiping?" ”

After a pause, "However, in fact, don't worry too much, the current emperor is not Jianwen, what he wants to do, even if none of the ministers agrees, he can still carry it out;

He, like Taizu, is a powerful martial emperor!

There must be resistance to moving the capital, but as long as he is determined to move the capital, no one can stop it. ”

"That's a good point." Li Qing smiled bitterly: "But... I would prefer to move the capital calmly rather than forcefully. ”

Li Jinglong said: "I'm afraid this is very difficult! ”

Li Qing also knew that it was difficult, but he still wanted to work hard, and he didn't want to destroy this good situation because of the relocation of the capital.

……

A wine, until the afternoon Shen Shi dissipated.

After leaving the Guogong Mansion, Li Qing did not go home, turned his head and entered the palace.

~

"I also know that it is difficult, but this one, I have settled, and no one can stop it." Zhu Di's face was serious, and it was imperative.

Li Qing sighed and asked, "How long will it take for Xindu to be completed?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di's face was difficult to look at, "Originally, according to my meaning, the year after tomorrow at the latest, but looking at the current posture, it is estimated that it will take four or five years." ”

After a pause, "No, I can't wait that long, I must move the capital within two years." ”

"Don't worry, the emperor, the obstacle to moving the capital is not the construction of Kyoto, but the ministers." Li Qing persuaded, "Why don't you test the tone of the hundred officials first." ”

"You mean ......?"

"Vote!" Li Qingdao, "Secret ballot. ”

Zhu Di said angrily, "It's not in vain, in that case, most officials will oppose it." ”

Li Qingdao: "Only in this way can we know the true thoughts of the hundred officials, and the vote does not decide whether to move the capital or not, but to feel the bottom of the ministers to see how big the obstacles to moving the capital are;

With the bottom, you can deal with and plan in advance, and then it will be a matter of course. ”

"Hmm... It also makes sense. Zhu Di snorted, "I want to see how many people oppose the relocation of the capital." ”

"Someone."

"The slave is here." The little yellow door at the entrance of the hall hurriedly stepped forward with small steps, "What does the emperor command?" ”

"Spread the word of the word, tomorrow morning in the Fengtian Temple Square." Zhu Di sighed, "Including all the nobles of the duke, the marquis, and the uncle, and all the officials in Beijing, they must be present." ”

"The slave obeys." The first time Xiao Huangmen did the emperor's errand, he was so excited that his waist was a little stiffer.

At this moment, he was the Qincha, made a big salute, and after turning around, with a villainous smile on his face, he walked out of the hall with his head held high.

"Li Qing, how many officials do you think will oppose it?"

"Eighty percent!"

"Probably not so much!" Zhu Di glanced at him unhappily and said, "I think it's at most seventy percent." ”

After a pause, "I still think that I should vote by secret ballot, so that it is convenient for the autumn queen to settle accounts!" ”

"......" Li Qing rolled his eyes, "Your Majesty, the purpose of voting is to expose the problem, and only when you find the problem can you prescribe the right medicine and prepare for solving the problem, if you really want to register your name, then what's the point of voting?" ”

"Hmm...... That's it! Zhu Di sighed, "What can you do?" ”

"Let's wait until we see the results!" Li Qingdao said, "It's too early to say anything. ”

Zhu Di nodded, and then asked about Xu Miaoyun's condition.

In this regard, Li Qing has nothing to do, but can only express his dedication.

……

When I got home, it was almost evening.

"Sir, have you been drinking until now?" Wanling complained slightly, more distressed.

"No, I went to the palace to talk to the emperor about business." Li Qing smiled and said, "You smell it, do I have such a strong smell of wine?" ”

Wan Ling sniffed her nose and said deliberately, "Yes, prickly nose." ”

"You girl...... Li Qing shook her head with a smile, and then suddenly asked, "Girl, do you want to live in Beiping?" ”

"If the gentleman goes, the concubine will go." Wan Ling helped him take off his coat, took out a thicker robe from the closet on the side, and said while waiting for him to dress, "Where Mr. is, where is home." ”

"Hehe......" Li Qing stretched out his arms and cooperated with her, "Aside from Mr., when it comes to Jinling and Beiping, which place do you prefer?" ”

"I prefer ......" Wan Ling helped him put on his robe, and then straightened a little wrinkles, and then said: "Of course it's Jinling!" ”

"Isn't Peking bad?"

"Not really, Beiping has the characteristics of Beiping, the last time I went there, the ice was really spectacular, but ......," Wanling pouted, "It's okay to look at it occasionally, I really want to settle down for a long time... It's better to be in Jinling. ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly and nodded, even a woman like Wanling, who had no interests or losses, was reluctant to go to Beiping, which showed that officials who were concerned about their own interests would be more rejected.

"Sir, is the imperial court going to move the capital?" Wan Ling asked.

"It's early." Li Qing smiled, "I'll just casually ask your opinion." ”

Wanling said with a smile, "What advice can the concubine have, wherever the gentleman goes, the concubine will go." ”

"Hmm... It's so sweet to the mouth. Li Qing smiled and cupped her face, wanting to kiss her, but was avoided, "Sir, it's time to eat." ”

This girl is starting to feel inferior again, and it seems that she will have to punish them well in the evening...... Li Qing made up her mind and went to the lobby with her.

Red Sleeves and Lianxiang were waiting, and when they saw him come in, they asked the next person to serve the food.

During dinner, Li Qing asked the two daughters for their opinions again.

Like Wanling, only talking about Jinling and Beiping, they prefer Jinling.

Without him, the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, and the pleasant climate are all incomparable to Beiping.

The three daughters are like this, and Li Qing can't help but be even more pessimistic about the voting results.

……

The next day, as soon as the sky turned blue, before it was bright, Li Qing entered the palace.

Fengtiandian Square, hundreds of officials gather here, it is very lively.

The civil and military officials are just a general term, in fact, there are not only 100 people in the last dynasty.

It's just that many people are not qualified to enter the palace, and the court meeting is standing outside the hall, and it is urgent to play the book, and it is necessary to notify the general of the station hall to pass the ceremony first, and only after being summoned can he enter the palace to face him.

Today, all the nobles who do not go to court on weekdays are here, and there are thousands of officials in the square, which is much more lively than usual.

The wind was whistling, mixed with the moisture of the early morning, and it was still very cold.

This is the case in Jinling in winter, when the sun comes out, it is warm, but early in the morning, the temperature is not high, especially when it is windy.

The six bigwigs usually go to court in the hall, and they come to the palace rashly, but they still habitually wear the previous clothes, and when a gust of wind comes, they shiver one by one, and they are a lot younger, and they are frozen like a grandson.

Sheng looked at the empty dragon chair and prayed that the emperor would come soon.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhu Di finally came late, followed by a group of little eunuchs, one holding a box, the rest holding pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and two little eunuchs carrying the table.

The ministers don't know why, so they routinely perform the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and the mountain calls long live.

"Zhongqing is flat."

Zhu Di waved his sleeves lightly and sat on the dragon chair, "I announce something!" ”
