Chapter 328 Moving the Capital
Chapter 328 Moving the Capital
I finally got promoted, why am I so unlucky?
The frightened little palace maid didn't dare to look up and could only observe the senior next to her.
The senior was calm and composed, as if the conversation was not a big deal.
The little palace maid only felt that the senior’s skill in cultivating his Qi was really great, and he was worthy of being an old man in front of the emperor.
Just as he was dreading his fate, he heard the emperor's extremely calm voice saying to the prince, "I'll give it to you the next time I go out."
Ugh?
The little palace maid was incredible.
Just, that’s it?
Why don't you follow the routine?
Where is the suspicion and distrust? Your Majesty, shouldn't you be afraid that the Crown Princess is greedy for power and that she will pose a threat to you?
Bei Jingchu, who might pose a threat, just thought Aye's words were strange.
"Yu Hun has been subdued, and the spies have been cleared out."
"The rest of the surrounding countries are small and insignificant. Even if Aye wants to expand his territory, he won't lead the army in person."
As she spoke, she had a terrifying guess: "... Could it be that you want to leave me to work for you and go out and have fun?"
Bei Jingchu condemned him with a look of asshole, trying to awaken the dog tyrant's fatherly love and conscience.
Unfortunately, the dog tyrant had no conscience and retorted without any guilt: "You can't say that. I am not going out to be cool, but to solve the current problems of Dai Viet."
Bei Jingchu's expression revealed only one meaning: You are kidding.
Bei Heng was helpless, he was clearly doing this for the public good.
So he explained, "You have taken over recently. Have you found that the food supply in Beijing has been insufficient for a long time?"
This had of course been discovered a long time ago, and Bei Jingchu was also trying to discuss how to solve the problem of transportation capacity.
Agricultural talents led by Xu Xinshu have improved various methods of growing grain. As long as there is no war, Dai Yue will not lack food.
But the outside world is vast and sparsely populated, while in Beijing, every inch of land is valuable. There is not much land for people to grow crops, so all the land is shipped in from outside.
In addition, the climate in the capital is not one of abundance of fish and rice. Even if the countryside is developed, it will be difficult to support so many mouths to feed.
Unfortunately, the transportation capacity can no longer support the increasing number of people. If there is famine even under the emperor's feet, it would be too outrageous.
Bei Jingchu originally wanted to increase the transport capacity, but then she thought of what the emperor had just said...
She asked uncertainly, "Aye means... moving the capital?"
"You will take the ministers to the Jianghuai area first, and I will stay in the capital to supervise the country until they are settled there?"
Bei Heng simply wanted to pat her little head. She was indeed worthy of being his favorite prince. How could she be so smart and understand things at a glance?
Unfortunately, the child had grown up and sat far away. Bei Heng rubbed his fingers regretfully.
His face still looked calm and dignified, and he smiled with satisfaction.
Although that smile, if you have poor eyesight you can't see it.
After receiving the affirmation, Bei Jingchu quickly started to think about the pros and cons of moving the capital.
The disadvantage is definitely the long journey. Before the capital was established, the security there was definitely not as good as that in the capital, and the palace had to be rebuilt, etc.
The advantage is that moving to a place with abundant rice and grain solves the food crisis first. The climate in the south is warm and more suitable for living.
The point is, if the capital is moved, the aristocratic families will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
At least half of the forces operating in the capital cannot be moved away. Arriving in the new capital will be an opportunity to restructure the situation and carry out drastic reforms.
She believed that Aye would definitely not hold back.
Even due to the fatigue of the journey, some annoying old stubborn people may not adapt to the local climate and die "acclimatized".
