Chapter 808: Moving the Capital

Although the southern city of Bianliang in Tokyo has been opened, there is still a ruin outside the northern city, and the plague virus like a god of death is still wandering outside the northern city, looking for an opportunity to enter the city to wreak havoc.

The bodies of hundreds of sick soldiers who escaped from the Jinbing isolation camp have been found one after another, and they are all not far from the isolation camp, and the farthest soldier has fled to the woods south of Chenqiao Town, 20 miles away from the isolation camp.

At the same time, nine infected people have been found in the city, and the prefect hall has officially approved the resolution of the temporary council hall to evacuate 500,000 people to the south.

At this time, the call for moving the capital rose again in the capital.

At the same time, the long-dormant business has also resumed, mainly catering-based, a cave ghost teahouse located in Panlou Street is also one of the famous teahouses in the capital, due to the opening of the south gate, located in the south of the city fifteen miles away Yuquan Mountain has become the source of water for the teahouses in the capital.

Although the city talked about the epidemic, and the government advised the people to go out as little as possible, it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the tea lovers to talk about gossip, and at noon, a ghost teahouse was full of guests.

The guests in the teahouse talked enthusiastically, and the main topic was moving the capital.

An old guest took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said softly: "My son is the deputy supervisor of Hangzhou New Palace, and I received a letter from him yesterday, the palace was completed last month, built on Phoenix Mountain, although it is a little smaller than the palace in Tokyo, but if you remove Yanfu Palace, in fact, the imperial palace is almost the same, but the imperial city where the imperial court is located is a little smaller, and it can only be slowly expanded in the future." ”

"Old Gong, do you mean that the imperial court really wants to move the capital?"

"Of course, the palace has been repaired, and it would be a waste not to move the capital."

"It's not bad to be a companion!"

At this time, a tea merchant stood up and said, "Everyone, I just came from Qiantang County, Hangzhou, let me say a few words!" ”

Everyone quieted down, and the tea merchant smiled: "The alum building has been built by the West Lake, it is exactly the same as the alum building in Tokyo, but it is called Fengle Building, and there are Zhu Skull Teahouse, Granny Cao's meatloaf, as well as Pan Building, Qingfeng Building, Baoyan Zhai, and Jujin and Silver Shop, so let's put it this way!" There are shops on the royal street, they have appeared by the West Lake, and the shopkeeper, the guys, and the tea prostitutes are all the original people, on the east bank of the West Lake, the mansion is built more exquisite than the other, walking in Qiantang County, it feels like returning to Tokyo, the accent is completely no different from this side, and the locals also have to roll their tongues to say official words, to be honest, although the form has not moved the capital, but in fact there is no difference from the moving capital, just wait for the emperor and concubines to pass. ”

There was silence in the lobby, and at this time, someone suddenly said angrily: "If we move the capital to Hangzhou, what will we do with our property in Tokyo?" Is the wealth that generations have worked so hard to save gone? ”

The shopkeeper leaned on the counter and said: "Outside Jia Yuan, everyone is the same, two years ago, my family's small mansion in the west outer city was worth tens of thousands of dollars, but now? The house is still empty there, but it is no longer valuable, who wants it, I will sell it to him for 500 yuan, our family is lucky, at least the house is still there, the north outer city is even more miserable, there is nothing, it was razed to the ground, and then talk about the real estate at this time, it is a joke. ”

The tea merchant also said: "The shopkeeper is right, yesterday I went to Xicheng, the most luxurious Cai Xiangguo Mansion in the past has been burned down, that is a mansion that has been built by millions of guan, in the event of a war, only gold and silver are useful, no matter how luxurious the house land will be worthless, a smarter person went to Hangzhou early to buy land, I heard that Li Yuanwai of Baoyan Zhai bought 3,000 acres of land by the West Lake a few years ago, and now it has risen 10,000 times. ”

"It's 10,000 times, no!" The crowd exclaimed.

"Why not, when the Fangla rebellion approached Hangzhou, Qiantang County was selling houses everywhere, a ten-acre house by the West Lake, you can buy it for 100 yuan, and 10 yuan for 100 acres of homestead, and now 100,000 yuan of 100,000 yuan of homestead land by the West Lake may not be able to buy, isn't this 10,000 times higher?"

"Then didn't Li Yuanwai become the richest man in the world?"

"Almost! People have the vision and dare to hoard a large amount of land when the land price in Hangzhou is the lowest, and the Cao family, who bought Phoenix Mountain at that time, and now donated it to build the palace, this favor still doesn't know how to pay it back! ”

Talking about the house, many people are moved, have to hurry up to take advantage of a little spare money in their hands, go to Jiangnan to buy real estate, Hangzhou can't afford to go to Suzhou or Changzhou, Jiangning Mansion, everyone is aware that moving the capital is a foregone conclusion, and it will be too late if you don't do it.

..........

Just when the people were discussing the relocation of the capital, a formal court meeting was also held in the Ziwei Hall to discuss the relocation of the capital.

This is a small court meeting, there are not many ministers who participated in the court meeting, but they are all important ministers of more than three grades, in addition to the six foreign ministers, there are Taiwei Li Yanqing, the military department Shangshu Sun Fu, the criminal department Shangshu Lu Haowen, the official department of the servant Li Ruoshui, the household servant Huang Qianshan, the Ministry of Rites waiter Wang Boyan, the criminal department waiter Wu Ge, the military department waiter Zhang Shuye, the Guanwendian University scholar Lu Yundi, the Baohedian University scholar He Jiao, the Longtu Pavilion bachelor Geng Yanxi, Kaifeng Mansion Yin Nieshan, Taichangqing Li Di and the imperial history of the Cheng Xu Han and so on a total of more than 20 people.

In fact, moving the capital has been the consensus of the government and the opposition, including the two empress dowagers, namely the Empress Dowager Zheng and the Empress Dowager Wei, have successively decreed to agree to move the capital, the outbreak of the epidemic is certainly one thing, and the magnates have moved south is also an important reason, but the more important reason is the threat of war, Hebei and the Central Plains have become the main battlefield of the Song and Jin wars, as a centralized and powerful capital, it is not suitable to be placed in the place of the four wars that was seriously threatened by the war and completely destroyed.

So moving the capital has become a resolution, and now we need to discuss when to move the capital, and how to move the capital?

"Taiwei Li, about the timing of moving the capital, you can give me your opinion!" Zhao Gou looked at Li Yanqing, who was sitting in the first row, and asked him to express his position with a smile.

Li Yanqing stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, ministers, the relocation is a major event, there are many issues to consider, and it is necessary to cover all aspects as much as possible, so it is impossible to complete the migration in a short period of time, it is now May, and there is still half a year before the next ice period, if the Jin soldiers invade the south again, it will probably be at the end of the year, when it enters the winter, and the impact of the plague has basically weakened, that is to say, we have about half a year or so, I suggest that the principle of putting people before things is set, and the people will be moved south first, Then we will start the relocation of various materials, and strive to complete the relocation of the capital within three months. ”

"Will it be that the Jin soldiers will come to attack us during the relocation of the capital?" Li Gang asked.

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said: "There is this possibility, but due to the impact of the epidemic, even if the Jin soldiers come to sneak attack, it will be a small-scale harassment, and they will not go south on a large scale, we need to make defensive preparations on the side of the Yellow River to ensure the smooth progress of the relocation of the capital." ”

Zhao Gou nodded, "The defense arrangements are under the sole responsibility of Taiwei Li and the Privy Council, and the steps for moving the capital will be arranged, Fan Xianggong will tell you about it!" ”

Fan Zhixu is the general person in charge of moving the capital, he mobilized more than 30 officials from six ministries and nine temples to set up the relocation and transfer department, which is fully responsible for the matter, Fan Zhixu got up and said: "The specific plan for moving the capital is still being formulated, and it will come out soon, and Weichen can roughly talk about the steps of moving the capital." ”

The hall was quiet, and everyone listened carefully to Fan Zhixu's report.

"Yesterday we issued a ship requisition order to the southern states, requiring all states to transfer more than 100 stone ships to the capital, at present, from Cai, Chen, Ying three states have collected more than 800 ships, is rushing to the capital, it is estimated that the final can collect more than 10,000 ships, this is a strong guarantee for the relocation of the capital, when the merchants and people move south can rent official ships, the elderly can also take a boat to the south, these we will carefully arrange, in fact, only from Tokyo to move the capital to consider, things are not cumbersome, since the year before there has been a migration tide, The relocation of the wealthy families in the capital has basically been completed, and now it is only the relocation of ordinary civilians, which is much less difficult, but if you take into account the large relocation of the capital, the situation is complicated. ”

"May I ask Fan Xianggong, what does the Great Relocation mean?" Li Yanqing asked puzzled.

Fan Zhixu sighed softly, "The big move is a scene that everyone doesn't want to see, including Kaifeng Mansion, Luoyang Mansion, Jingbei Road, Jingdong Road, Huainan East Road, Hedong Road and Shaanxi Road, that is, the retreat of the Han people in the entire area south of the Yellow River, you can refer to the southward migration of the Han people in the Western Jin Dynasty, this is not something that the imperial court can control, just like the people of Hebei fleeing south, it is unpredictable and inevitable." ”

"Then how to arrange it on the way to the south?" Zhao Gou frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty, since yesterday, the evacuation of 500,000 people has been started, but this time the evacuation and the relocation of the capital combined, the vast majority of the people choose to go to the south of the Yangtze River, basically by the government along the way is responsible for soup soup and medicine relief, we mobilized 1,000 students, but also mobilized more than 50 officials, to ensure that on the three official roads, every ten miles there is a soup kitchen, every twenty miles there will be a medical aid tent.

As for the resettlement of the people after they went south, they were mainly placed on Liangzhejiang Road, Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road, the people of Hedong Road were resettled in Jinghu and Jinghu Road, and the people of Shaanxi Road were resettled in the Bashu area. ”

"When did the imperial court move south?"

"Your Majesty, the southward migration of the imperial court is divided into two steps, first the inner palace moves south, and then the court officials move south, and when the ships from Caizhou and other places arrive, let the palace people take their belongings to the south by boat, and the utensils in the palace will be transported later."
