Chapter 819: Build the prefecture, set the capital (8)

Views:

When Wei Ci woke up again, the sun outside had already climbed overhead.

There was still the sound of chirp, chirp, chirp, and when he turned his head, he saw a bunch of flower cakes lying on the ground, with a plate of snacks in his hand.

Flower cake... No, the chubby Changsheng noticed the movement and turned to look at Wei Ci.

"Wei Su is awake."

Changsheng smiled and planned to get up, her round eyes swept across the cake crumbs dyed in her hands, she seemed to remember something, she turned to sit on her knees very guilty, and quietly put her butt on the plate of snacks, thinking this Chi can't see...

Wei Ci: "..."

Feng Huaiyu, if you don't restrain your daughter, you will really be raised insane.

"Changsheng, come here."

Wei Ci's voice was very hoarse, and he beckoned to Changsheng.

Changsheng got up awkwardly and pushed the plate of snacks aside with his chubby toes, trying to destroy the evidence.

"Wei Susu."

Wei Ci squeezed Changsheng's small bun and smiled weakly.

"Don't eat secretly, lest your father resent me for starving you."

Changsheng lowered her head. She was young, but she knew she was guilty.

Originally, I wanted to bring it over to share with my friend Wei Susu, but she couldn't bear to be hungry, so she secretly ate it.

Before I knew it, only the scraps were left, and Wei Ci woke up at this time, terrified.

"Is Wei Susu ill? I slept for a long time."

Apart from him, there was no one else in Wei Ci's mansion who could be regarded as the master. Changsheng naturally came and went freely, and the servants did not dare to restrain her.

"I'm not sick, I don't want to get up in bed."

Changsheng nodded, sighed, and quietly covered his mouth and said, "Changsheng doesn't like to get up either, wet nurse is bad..."

Every time I wanted to stay in bed, I would always be picked up from the bed by the nurse.

Whenever this time, Changsheng will always be very resentful, why can't he be fatter and heavier, so that the nurse can't hold it.

Wei Ci laughed dumbly.

He asked the maid to take care of Changsheng first, and then he went to bathe and wash off the sticky sweat from his body, and then he felt refreshed.

"You mouth, you have never been idle all day long."

Wei Ci was haunted by nightmares, her breath was weak, she was holding the heavy tonnage of Changsheng, and after walking two steps, she was a little out of breath.

Fortunately, the two were not far apart, otherwise it would have killed him.

"Last night was really annoying. This child, Changsheng, is very self-willed. There's really nothing I can do about her."

Feng Jin had come back from get off work to have lunch, and it happened to leave Wei Ci to eat together.

Feng's family style is strict and does not like extravagance, so the lunch at Feng Jin's family is also more pure and simple, which is just in line with Wei Ci's appetite.

"It's the same with children, they like to be clingy, it's natural."

After lunch, Wei Ci regained some energy.

Feng Jin didn't doubt the others, and instead asked, "Zixiao is also worrying about the morning?"

Wei Ci was surprised for a moment, and said sternly, "What happened in the morning?"

Everyone's office is not in the same place, and they don't see each other every day, so Feng Jin never thought that Wei Ci didn't go to the government affairs hall today.

"About the Maruzhou Prefecture..." Feng Jin frowned, quite annoyed.

"The prefecture? Can't you just use the original prefecture? The lord is not someone who likes extravagance, and he won't waste the people and money for his own enjoyment." Wei Ci said without thinking, "Is it possible, Huaiyu has been locked since just now. Brow, is it distressed?"

Feng Jin said, "The previous state capital has been burned down by the remnants of the Tsing Yi Army. If you choose that state as the state capital, it will take at least a year to build it before it can begin to take shape. Xiaoyu's side has calculated the property, and it is scattered in pieces. It will cost nearly one million taels, not to mention other labor costs."

Because of the war in the north, the people of the original state capital have long since been astigmatized.

If they rebuild the state capital there, they will not only have to spend a lot of money, but also laboriously mobilizing labor, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Too bad!

What's more, the state capital, which is similar to the central brain of the entire force, can't be sloppy.

Wei Ci frowned, and after thinking for a while, he had a choice.

"What did your lord say?"

Feng Jin said, "My lord's intention is clear. It's enough not to delay the business, or to waste the people and money. As for where to choose, she has no opinion."

Wei Ci asked again, "What about the others?"

Feng Jin paused for a while, and said in embarrassment, "Other people's opinions... They want to set the state capital in Beijing!"

Beijing

This is the same as Wei Ci's choice.

However, looking at Feng Jin's face, he knew that the other party was struggling, and it was inappropriate to set the state capital in Shangjing.

"Huaiyu doesn't seem to agree."

Wei Ci used a statement tone.

Feng Jin gave a wry smile, and he said, "Shangjing is the capital of Dongqing, and the lord has set the prefecture there... I'm afraid it will cause gossip. What's more, Shangjing experienced a huge earthquake, and Jin felt heartbroken every time he approached it. Frightened, what happened back then is still vivid in my mind.”

The earthquake that year was so powerful that how many people's lives were lost

Even after more than two years, Feng Jin still felt frightened every time he recalled the scene of that day.

"The imperial court has moved the capital to Chenzhou, and Shangjing is no longer the capital. If others are gossiping, let them talk about it, the lord may not take this matter to heart. Even if there are complaints in the imperial city of Chenzhou, the lord's state can still be Can't she get down?" Wei Ci showed a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth, and he added, "Back then, when the earth moved, Shangjing was destroyed, and how many people were displaced? Today's Shangjing is already a waste city, and it can't be left untreated. By using Shangjing as the state capital, we can recruit refugees around us and reduce hidden dangers. This is one of them. Second, Shangjing is an ancient city after all, and some buildings can still be used, which can reduce a cost.”

As a former capital, Shangjing does have a different meaning.

The traffic extends in all directions and the terrain is excellent. It is the center of the entire Maruzhou.

If it wasn't for the Emperor Dou occupying the magpie's nest, the state capital of Maruzhou would have been located in Shangjing.

Feng Jin sighed and said, "Jin also knows this is the reason, but she is still afraid, worried that the earthquake will repeat itself."

Wei Ci still has some reasons not to say.

There are not only two reasons for setting the state capital in Shangjing, but also another more important reason.

The local nobles in Shangyang County are too jumpy, and the Feng family doesn't care about anything now, and the others are even more unscrupulous.

Jiang Pengji has been staying in Fengyi County, unable to keep an eye on these ghosts and ghosts all the time, and they have more opportunities to act as demons.

If the prefecture was located in the former Shangjing, the nobles of Shangyang County would naturally be as quiet as chickens and would not dare to act rashly.

Whether it was a past life or this life, Wei Ci knew that the lord would definitely fight against the aristocratic family.

Even if the current protagonist came from a noble family, she would not be merciful.

Thinking of the struggle after Jiang Chao was established, Wei Ci only felt a pain in his brain.

Suppressing the authority of the aristocratic family must not wait for the unification of the country to be implemented. If it is possible, it must be suppressed now.

Thinking of this, Wei Ci's heart moved, and an idea came to her.
