Chapter 191: I agree with the move of the capital

Shi Tai still muttered and said, "The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, but the world has different encounters and desires...... Is it better for black and white slaves to come to my island than they have encountered before? ”

“…… Life is better. ”

"More people lived, or more people died?"

“…… More people lived. ”

Mrs. Shi suddenly said, "Can the donor look out the window?" ”

Quietly looking out the window...... Outside the window is a secluded bamboo forest.

Mrs. Shi said: "What the world sees is bamboo, but Lao Na and I saw a stream and sika deer in the distance...... Don't forget the original intention, you have to always, how can you be covered by a bamboo forest?! ”

Well, Jing Jing knows, Mrs. Shi gave her a bowl of soul chicken...... But at least the mood is much better.

When I left the nunnery quietly, I felt that the sky was very high, and before I knew it, the autumn of 1283 was coming.

Zhang Anguo really hasn't noticed the quiet change, and everyone still has to do their own things for the time being.

The Great Song Dynasty government now has a huge dispute, and even Zhang Anguo can't help but be concerned, and he handed over all the problems of dealing with the Lu military group to Wu Dapeng to deal with.

At a court meeting of the Great Song Dynasty, some officials proposed to move the capital back to Bianliang.

In 1127 AD, the Great Song Empire under the leadership of Comrade Song Qinzong was destroyed by the Jin State, and the capital city of Bianliang was occupied, and the name was changed to Bianjing.

Previously, Tatar bandit groups sold land south of the Yellow River to the Song government, including Bianjing.

Of course, at that time, Bianjing was no longer what it used to be, and the entire city had been completely ruined.

Later, the Great Song Dynasty government made great efforts to rebuild, and it has been nearly two years since it was repaired, so it has begun to have the appearance of the capital.

Relying on reinforced concrete and the flow of houses, they are building much faster than before.

The official who proposed to move the capital was instructed by Jia Pingzhang, and the reason for moving the capital was very good...... Lin'an was originally meant to be a temporary resettlement, and it was just an expedient measure, but it was expedient for a long time, more than a hundred years.

There is also a practical problem that the imperial palace in Lin'an City is too suffocating.

Still in 1127 AD, after the Jin army broke through the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, King Kang Zhao Gou led the royal family to move south.

In 1138 A.D., Song Gaozong Zhao Gou tentatively designated Hangzhou as Lin'an, and built the palace forbidden garden in the southeast of Hangzhou and the Songcheng Road at the eastern foot of Fenghuang Mountain.

The palace starts from Fengshan Gate in the east, reaches the west foot of Phoenix Mountain in the west, starts from Tiaobroom Bay in the south, and reaches Wansongling in the north, with a radius of no more than nine miles.

If history does not change, the Zhao and Song dynasties, which enjoyed the country for more than 300 years, once accounted for more than 60% of the world's total economy.

At that time, Bianliang had a population of more than one million and was the largest city in the world at that time.

Open the "Qingming Riverside Picture", you can appreciate the prosperity and wealth of the Zhao and Song dynasties at that time from the picture scroll.

However, the Song Dynasty, which had huge wealth, had the smallest palace in all dynasties, neither as magnificent as the Chang'an Palace City in the Han and Tang Dynasties, nor as large as the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.

So, why didn't the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty expand the palace?

Kaifeng was only a state city in the Tang Dynasty, so the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty was actually the former Jiedu envoy, so how big was this imperial city at that time?

The answer is only 5 miles.

Didn't the Great Song Dynasty officials want to expand the palace and make the palace look more magnificent?

They really want to...... But no.

Because the imperial city is full of residents and merchants, the expansion of the palace means that all the houses around the imperial city will be demolished, some people may say, it is not simple, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty only needs to give an order to move the people away.

But in the Song Dynasty, this thing was really difficult to do.

In 985 AD, Song Taizong wanted to expand the palace, so he ordered the minister to survey and plan, but there was really no vacant land around the palace, and the houses had to be demolished to expand.

So Song Taizong sent people to negotiate with the people, and the result of the consultation was that "many residents do not want to move", and the people did not agree to move, could it be that Song Taizong cherished the people, so he was unwilling to take compulsory measures?

He's not alone.

In 1106 AD, Huizong of the Song Dynasty, who liked to build a large number of buildings, also wanted to expand the palace, but the surrounding people still did not agree to move away, and Huizong had to give up.

Until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, this imperial city was not expanded for 1 mile.

After the Jingkang Revolution, Hangzhou became the temporary national capital.

At this time, the imperial palace was even narrower than that in Kaifeng City, so that the Great Song Dynasty officials only walked one level of majesty steps...... It's just not pretty.

In 1131, the minister proposed to expand the imperial city, but unfortunately, several temples happened to be on the edge of the imperial city, and Gojong had to stop it.

So why did the monarchs of the Song Dynasty, whether they were faint or bright, dare not forcibly demolish the houses of the common people and expand the palace city?

There are two reasons: one is because the Song Dynasty recognized the private ownership of property, even the houses around the imperial city belonged to the common people, and no one had the right to plunder.

Second, because of the demolition of people's houses, compensation needs to be given, and the compensation is very high.

How high is it?

In 1083, in order to repair the streets, Kaifeng Mansion needed to demolish all the houses within 30 steps of the city wall...... At that time, the compensation given by the reference market price was 170 yuan per household!

The money can be used to buy a large house in the county under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng.

This is only the compensation price for remote places, if it is a prosperous area like the area around the Imperial City, the compensation will be higher.

Not only that, even tenants who do not have property rights need to be compensated, and the compensation standard is 5 yuan per household.

Therefore, even if the Great Song Dynasty officials wanted to forcibly expand the palace, the compensation paid to the surrounding people alone was a very large expense, and they had to be restrained.

As a result, the imperial palaces of the Great Song Dynasty, like their mausoleums, became the most humble of all dynasties.

When have you ever heard about the theft of the tomb of the Great Song Emperor?!

But now the situation is different, the original Bianliang City no longer exists, and everything is being rebuilt.

The terrain around Bianliang City is flat, and there are four major water systems flowing through it, so it can be easily transported by using water power...... The circumference of the palace rebuilt there was forty miles!

Moreover, the structure of the new city there is still the same as in the past, and the whole is still composed of three pools: the outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city...... Of course, all were expanded in equal proportions.

The original Bianliang City can accommodate 1.5 million people, and the new Bianliang City will still have this scale.

Jia Pingzhang's efforts to promote the relocation of the capital have his political goals.

First, after moving the capital to Xinbianliang City, a group of new people can be openly promoted; The second is to embarrass his main opponents!

The climate of the Bianliang area can be very different from that of Lin'an City...... Some old-school people should think about your body...... Hey.

Until now, Jia Pingzhang has not classified himself into the category of the elderly, thinking that he still belongs to the middle-aged group.

He didn't even think about whether he could stand it himself!

According to the basic principle that your gang proposed that our gang should oppose it, some old-fashioned people raised their objections on the spot, and the reasons are equally sufficient, the new Bianliang City is far from being completed, so why rush to move the capital?!

It's all about the long haul!

Zhao Xian, a Great Song Dynasty official who had always been regarded as an ornament, suddenly spoke at this time: "I agree with the move of the capital!" ”

At that time, the entire Chongzheng Hall was quiet...... This is the first time that the official family of the Great Song Dynasty has spoken, and it has not been represented by the Empress Dowager Xie.
