In the early days of the Dynasty, the officials of the various ministries once again proposed the matter of fixing the capital, and now that the Dazhong Dynasty has been established for a year, Xiao Tianjian has not yet finalized the location of the Dingdu, which has had a certain impact on many affairs of the Dazhong Dynasty.

Now that Beijing has been conquered by Xiao Tianjian, officials have begun to discuss the matter of determining the capital many times a year ago.

Now there are two opinions in the middle of the court and the Chinese side of the debate, one opinion is that Beijing has now been conquered, and because Beijing was taken down, there was no fierce battle, under Xiao Tianjian's strict order, the military discipline of the Dazhong army after entering the city is relatively strict, and the various official yamen and the imperial city in Beijing have not suffered much damage, so some ministers believe that Xiao Tianjian can completely set the capital of Beijing in the city of Beijing, so the advantage is that with the capital of Beijing, it will make the economic recovery of the north faster. It can also attract more people to move north, and it can recover more quickly in the north, which has been severely reduced by wars and natural disasters.

However, there are also some ministers' opinions that Beijing is too close to Guanwai, and it is easy to be invaded by the Mongols or Jiannu outside the Guanwai, and the capital of Beijing will cost a lot, so it is better to set it in the city of Nanjing, and Nanjing City is located in the middle of China, which can effectively take into account the south, and the surrounding areas of Nanjing City are rich land, and the capital of Nanjing can reduce the burden of transportation to the north.

These two opinions had been debated for a long time, and the ministers had expressed their own opinions, and they were arguing about it, so that the matter was raised again as the situation in the north gradually calmed down.

Xiao Tianjian has not thought about this matter, and he is also more inclined to make the capital in Beijing, because once the capital of the Dazhong Dynasty is Beijing, the political center is destined to move north to the north, which will undoubtedly help a lot for the recovery of the economy and population of the north, and will help to restore the rule of Liaodong and even Mongolia in the next step.

Because of geographical reasons, the Central Plains regime has repeatedly suffered from the invasion of northern nomads for thousands of years, and for the stability of the situation in the north, the capital of Beijing can strengthen its control over the north.

But the reason why Xiao Tianjian has not made up his mind to immediately set the capital of Beijing City is that there are two most important reasons, one is that the southern provinces have not yet been pacified, and now the temporary capital is Nanjing, which is of great benefit to his future command and pacification of the southern provinces, and now he is vigorously developing the navy, and many things related to the formation of the navy he has to do in Nanjing City, after all, the ministers of this era have a strong sense of land power, and few people attach great importance to sea power. Few people have a clear understanding of the importance of Yu Dahai to the Chinese in the future, which makes Xiao Tianjian not plan to go to Beijing to set the capital in a short time, he must first put the construction of the navy and the pacification of the situation in the south in the first place, which is one of the most important reasons why he has not decided to finally set the capital.

The second reason is that with his understanding of history, there is a very important reason why Li Zicheng easily took Beijing City in history, which is very unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, that is, in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, there was a very large-scale plague epidemic in the entire North China, which caused a large number of deaths of the people, and the impact was very large.

As a result, when Li Zicheng led the army north, the city of Beijing was basically ten rooms and nine emptis, and the Ming army guarding Gyeonggi basically lost its combat effectiveness, making Li Zicheng relatively easy to take Beijing City and control North China, if it were not for this, it was not very easy for Li Zicheng to easily take Beijing City, so this possible future plague was also the objective reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, according to history, it has just reached the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Xiao Tianjian does not know whether such a large-scale plague situation will occur in the north in the future, if the capital is immediately set in Beijing City, it will inevitably involve a large number of people and troops to move north, once the north, according to the historical situation, a large-scale plague will occur, for his great middle and Korean dynasties, it will undoubtedly cause very big losses, and may even shake the foundation of the country.

Therefore, there are such concerns, which is also one of the reasons why Xiao Tianjian has not made up his mind to set the capital of Beijing for a long time.

Now that the ministers have once again raised the issue of setting the capital, it is obvious that if Xiao Tianjian does not make a clear decision, it will definitely have an adverse impact on the development of political affairs in the future.

Listening to the opinions of the two factions, arguing in the court, Xiao Tianjian coughed and raised his hand to stop the ministers who were arguing, and after a deep sigh, he spoke: "All the secretaries are thinking about the country, and the matter of the capital is indeed not suitable for a long time, the words of the secretaries are reasonable, I am actually very happy to see the secretaries arguing about this matter!"

As for whether the capital is in Nanjing or Beijing, both sides have benefits, but they also have disadvantages, and it is really difficult to determine for a while!

However, in the long run, I think that the advantages of making the capital of Beijing outweigh the disadvantages, and if the capital is Beijing, it will undoubtedly help a lot for the economic and demographic recovery of the north, and it can also deter the north, which can be described as the best of all three things.

In my opinion, if you want to get rid of such drawbacks, Caoyun can be completely replaced by sea, sea ships can be built bigger, single ship traffic can be more, consumption along the way will be less, and the speed can also be improved, eliminating the complexity of passing through various locks along the way, and sea ships can go straight to Tianjin Wei to dock, so as to avoid a lot of expenses, so once the capital is set in Beijing, for Caoyun, it can be completely replaced by sea!

In addition, although the north is not yet completely self-sufficient in grain, the main reason is not that the land in the north is barren, but that a large number of former Ming Xun relatives have occupied too much land, resulting in a shortage of food in the north.

What's more, the land of Liaodong is very vast, and the land is very fertile, although because of the climate, only one season of grain can be produced a year, but Liaodong is sparsely populated, and the grain produced is enough for the people in the north and the garrison to use, if it is done well, not only does not need to transport grain from the south to the north, on the contrary, the grain produced in Liaodong can also be imported to the interior!

Don't disbelieve what I said, I am not imagining, as long as I put down the Jiannu Rebellion in the future, restore the population of Liaodong, and increase the reclamation of Liaodong, I expect that food in the north will not be a problem!

In addition, the reason why the former Ming Dynasty set the capital of Beijing was that there was the idea of the Son of Heaven guarding the country, and the former Ming Emperor was still able to do this, and Chongzhen did not leave Beijing until his death, at least at this point, I also admired what those emperors of the former Ming Dynasty did, and now I am in charge of the world, am I not as good as those emperors of the previous dynasties? Therefore, I think that if the capital is settled, it is better to take Beijing! ”

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, the ministers immediately understood Xiao Tianjian's intentions, Xiao Tianjian had already indicated that if the capital was fixed, the capital would be set in Beijing, so that their argument would be meaningless, which made the ministers who advocated the capital in Nanjing a little discouraged.

So the ministers immediately bowed down and called the Holy Wise ......

"But! Don't worry, although we have made up our minds to make up our minds to move the capital to Beijing, it is not yet the time to move the capital to Beijing immediately! Xiao Tianjian raised his hand to stop the slapping of the ministers and continued to speak.

After hearing this, Fu Deming couldn't help but be a little worried, raised his head and asked Xiao Tianjian: "Holy Lord, please forgive Weichen for offending, I don't know what the Holy Lord means when he says that it is not the time yet?" Now the household department has to deal with the war in the northwest and the war that is about to start in the south, the pressure is already very great, although Weichen has been in accordance with the Shengshang's points, is preparing to implement the national debt, but at the moment the household department really can't take out too much money to rebuild the Forbidden City in Beijing, and the Forbidden City is not dilapidated at the moment, and I hope that the Shengshang will wait until our national strength is restored one or two, and then repair the Forbidden City is not too late! ”

Xiao Tianjian was almost amused by Fu Deming, this Fu Deming is a good housekeeper, this money bag is really tightly covered! So he smiled and said: "Fu Aiqing will be wrong about what I mean, how can I be the kind of person who cares about the people's livelihood!" Now that I am in a new position, there are too many places to use money, how can I not know? Am I the kind of extravagant emperor? ”

Fu Deming hurriedly bowed his head and praised: "Weichen doesn't dare!" ”

"Humph! It's not that you don't dare, it's very daring! What you just said has made it clear that I am the emperor who spends money indiscriminately! Hum! Xiao Tianjian was very unhappy, and couldn't help but scare Fu Deming.

Niu Jinxing came out at this time and said: "Fu Shangshu speculates on the holy will in vain, it is really a sin that deserves death!" Please also ask the Holy One to punish him severely and not to make an example! The heavens are mighty, how can we speculate on the holy will? Master Fu is too much! ”

Fu Deming was really frightened, lying on the ground and even claiming guilty, but he was really not convinced in his heart, after all, now the Great Middle Kingdom is a place where money is spent everywhere, but Xiao Tianjian has invested a lot of financial resources in the bottomless shipyard and navy in the past six months, and now the things on land have not been settled, Xiao Tianjian threw all the money into the sea so lavishly, what is this not spending money indiscriminately? This makes Fu Deming, the head of the household who is in charge of money, not feel distressed! That's why Fu Deming said such a thing when he was in a hurry today.

Xiao Tianjian glanced at Niu Jinxing, Niu Jinxing, this guy needs to be beaten a little bit during this time, although he has a good shot, but it is clear that he wants to take this opportunity to give Fu Deming a black brick, which of them is more loyal to himself, Xiao Tianjian naturally knows that Fu Deming is like this, what do you say, sometimes he really doesn't care about his face, so Xiao Tianjian coughed and said: "Fu Deming deserves to be punished today, he actually guesses my intentions, thinking that I like to spend money indiscriminately!" Are you dissatisfied with me, trying to expand your naval strength during this time? Actually insinuated slander against me! Hum!

If this matter is someone else, I will not be able to spare you! But if I think about you wholeheartedly for the sake of the country, I won't delve into you! The death penalty can be forgiven, but the living sin is unforgivable! I'll punish you for three months! Be careful in the future, otherwise I will not spare you lightly!

Bull Venus, you step down too! This matter has been revealed, and it will not be mentioned again! ”

Although Xiao Tianjian didn't reprimand him, he glared at him, which made Niu Jinxing vigilant again, remembering that Xiao Tianjian's least favorite thing was that in the court, the ministers demolished each other, although he wanted to pat Xiao Tianjian's ass just now, but it was obvious that Xiao Tianjian didn't like him at all, so he had to scold himself in his heart, and didn't dare to say anything more.

As for Fu Deming being fined for three months, such a punishment is actually nothing at all, Xiao Tianjian just did it to save face, and after Fu Deming received the punishment, he also retreated to the court.

"Fu Aiqing will be wrong about what I mean, the reason why I said that I can't move the capital to Beijing for the time being is not because I dislike the dilapidated Forbidden City, for me, the Forbidden City is magnificent enough, and it also seems too big, I have no three palaces and six courts, only three imperial concubines, such a big Forbidden City, I have long been content! I'm not going to spend any more money on repairs in the Forbidden City! Fu Aiqing, you can rest assured!

As for you who think that you have invested too much in the navy, Shu will not do anything more to explain, and Shu has already said at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner that the next few hundred years will be the world of the ocean, and we can no longer do it behind closed doors! Otherwise, to miss this era is the greatest crime to our descendants!

The most important reason why I postponed the relocation of the capital to the north is that the situation in the south is undecided, and the people in the north also need to rest for a while, we must use the limited resources at the moment to restore the people's livelihood as much as possible.

Only after the situation in the south is calmed down, I will move the capital to the north, this matter will be discussed here today, the matter of the early capital, the ministries can first pave the way, and send personnel to Beijing to fight the front station! But I only have one request, extravagance and waste is absolutely not good, try to use the original yamen to simply clean up, we are still too thin now, can not tolerate the slightest extravagance! I hope you can remember my words! ”
