Before Jiang Pengji led the troops to battle, something was put on the agenda.
She only remembered it when Wei Ci reminded her — Beiyuan and Xichang were not strong enough, and the world's situation was set.
There seemed to be no difference whether Jiang Pengji ascended to the throne now or after destroying the two countries.
So, the question was, where should the capital be located?
"Regarding the capital … Isn't it too early to think about it now?"
Jiang Pengji was not familiar with these operations, so she naturally did not understand and had no concept.
In her opinion, ascending to the throne meant worshiping the heavens and the earth, announcing to the world that she had ascended to the throne, and that she would have to address her as Her Majesty in the future.
She thought it was very simple, but in fact, there were many things to prepare in advance, such as the location of the capital.
Wei Ci said, "It's not early. If you ascend to the throne, you will start preparing for the construction of the imperial mausoleum after the first year."
Jiang Pengji: "???"
She had just ascended to the throne, and she was already sending people to build the imperial mausoleum for her?
Wei Ci asked with a smile, "Do you think that the imperial mausoleum was built urgently by the emperor?"
Jiang Pengji thought about the specifications of the imperial mausoleum described in the history books and was silent.
Not to mention the construction standards of this era, even hundreds of years later, it might not be possible to build an imperial mausoleum that met the specifications in a few months. Generally speaking, the imperial mausoleum of the emperor was built soon after ascending to the throne. From the design of the imperial mausoleum, the preparation of materials, the manpower … These were all projects that consumed a lot of resources and money. If the construction was fast enough, it could be completed two or three years before the emperor's death. It was impossible to make a last-minute effort. The imperial mausoleum was already like this, the capital could not be developed slowly after ascending to the throne, right?
Jiang Pengji was speechless and finally slacked off.
"This question is indeed … Where is the capital of the Jiang dynasty in your previous life? Can't it be decided where it will be in this life? "
Wei Ci sighed. He knew that the main leader would say that.
"In my previous life, the capital was really a child's play. Even when the world was stable and the people's lives were stable, there were still ministers who suggested moving the capital."
It could not be helped, the emperor was too capricious, and the location of the capital was chosen with his eyes closed.
In the 10th year of the Jiang dynasty, because the officials in the upper reaches were corrupt, the capital in the middle and lower reaches was flooded for three days.
Although the flood control was timely and not too many lives were lost, the fertile fields of the people in the suburbs near the capital were flooded, and a year's harvest was destroyed. His Majesty's Imperial Palace was also soaked in water for two days. During those days, the officials went to work in fear and trepidation, dripping water to go to court.
If this matter were to spread, it would be shameful. The capital of a country was flooded for three days because of a corrupt official.
Fortunately, His Majesty's throne was as stable as Mount Tai, and the various crises were handled appropriately, so it did not cause any unrest in the court.
Her Highness Jiang Yan's performance in this disaster relief was excellent, and she had completely caught the eyes of the courtiers.
In the end, His Majesty finally agreed to move the capital. At the same time, all the officials upstream were to be investigated and held accountable, leaving no one alive.
The common people even joked that the blood of the corrupt officials and their family members had dyed the upper reaches red!
From this, it could be seen how many people had died in that accident.
Wei Ci felt that it was a little troublesome to decide on the capital twice. It would be better to choose an Imperial Capital that everyone was satisfied with from the beginning and slowly build it into a place that was more prosperous and prosperous than Wanzhou. With the experience of building Wanzhou, it wouldn't be that difficult to build an imperial capital.
Even if they couldn't rush out before the lord ascended to the throne, they could at least move to the new palace within two or three years after ascending to the throne, right?
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
Although it was to choose a location for the capital, Jiang Pengji was a reserved person. She couldn't say it out loud, so she used a euphemistic excuse.
All of them were her old partners. What did their lord not know about peeing?
However, the location of the capital was indeed very important. Not only would it affect the continuation of the entire dynasty, but it would also affect the local economy.
The location couldn't be randomly decided either. It had to ensure that the capital was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it also had to ensure that the transportation here was developed to facilitate the development of the economy. At the same time, they had to take into account the control of the imperial capital's troops in various parts of the border. In short, at this time, they needed a charlatan who knew how to survey the dragon's veins.
This person proposed to build the capital on the former site of the imperial capital of Zhongzhao.
This was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and all the conditions were in line with everyone's expectations.
But there were also people who expressed strong objections.
What did the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties mean?
It meant that six of the countries that had built their capitals here had perished. Why? Did they want to gather together and give someone a gift? Gather all seven dragon balls and summon the dragon god?
It was inauspicious, too inauspicious!
So, that person recommended the land near his ancestral home _ (: з) ∠) _
Not to mention anything else, if the location was successfully decided, the price of land and housing would skyrocket.
Jiang Pengji sat at the head of the table and listened to their debate. She deeply suspected that these people had bought a lot of houses in those places.
Of course, this was just Jiang Pengji's teasing. Apart from Wanzhou, there were no other places where housing prices could really skyrocket.
The construction of the capital of a country wasn't a day's work. Although Wanzhou was very prosperous now, no less than any capital in history, it had taken countless people more than ten years of hard work to build it to its current state. If they chose a barren place to build the capital, it would consume a lot of money and manpower. Jiang Pengji couldn't afford it. In terms of national defense and finance, there weren't many places that Jiang Pengji could choose from.
It was best to choose an ancient capital with natural defenses, a construction foundation, and a place where there were tens of thousands of troops stationed nearby.
After several rounds of intense discussion and voting, they finally decided on Ping and Fengdu in Xun Prefecture, which was slightly north of Zhongzhao.
Most of Zhongzhao's ten prefectures and thirty-three counties were rich and fertile. The prefectures and prefectures of the various prefectures and prefectures were also once overflowing with wealth. Xun Prefecture's Ping and Fengdu were once the capital of some small country during the chaotic era of the Sixteen Kingdoms. If Jiang Pengji decided to set the capital there, it would look like a capital city in two or three years.
To truly develop their economy, they would have to take their time after moving in. Sooner or later, they would surpass Wanzhou.
If it wasn't for the fact that Wanzhou wasn't suitable to be the imperial capital, Jiang Pengji really didn't want to move.
After deciding on Ping and Fengdu, everyone said that the name had to be changed.
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
Aren't you asking for too much?
"It sounds good to me."
A few insiders muttered to themselves. It was one thing for their lord to be terrible at naming, but she was also obsessed with the aesthetics of names.
Ping and Fengdu were fine, but Fengdu was in big trouble.
Where was Plentiful City?
Fengdu was also known as Fengdu. According to myths and legends, it was the entrance to the netherworld, the place where people went after death.
How could the Son of Heaven and the Son of Hell live in the same place with the same name?
We can't find someone to discuss with the Emperor of Feng Du and ask him to change his name, right?
"So …"
The plan that everyone gave was to change the name, to change it to an auspicious name!
Oh, there was no need to adopt the lord's suggestion.
The name of the imperial capital was to be recorded in the annals of history. They didn't want to make a dark history and be mocked by future generations.
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
