Iron Dynasty

: Two chapters first, and four more chapters in the evening.

A faint fragrance of tea wafted in the main hall.

Feng Deshui took his tea and took a sip. He looked at Xiao Ming's expression, trying to distinguish Xiao Ming's reaction to the incident.

When the move to the capital was raised in Chang'an, it was strongly opposed by Empress Zhao, the prince and others. The officials who were bought by King Zhao also moved out of the ancestral family law, and Feng Shui taboo kept admonishing.

It’s just that everyone knows that this is nothing but the selfishness of Queen Zhao and the prince, because once the capital is moved, the influence of King Zhao on Xiao Wenxuan will be greatly reduced.

"So where does the emperor father want to move the capital?" Feng Deshui came to mention this matter this time, naturally not a simple home chat, but with a hint of Xiao Ming's attitude.

"Nowadays, only Bianzhou is the most suitable land for the royal family. Once moved to Bianzhou, there will be King Zhao to the west, then Hulaoguan, King Yong to the north, King Wei to the southeast, and King Wei to the northeast. His Royal Highness, the Three Kings protect the capital, since the imperial city is safe and sound." Feng Deshui smiled, seemingly satisfied with the location of the new capital.

This Bianzhou is Kaifeng of later generations, and Tokyo of the later Song Dynasty, Xiao Wenxuan is extremely shrewd in choosing this location for the new capital.

Just like Feng Deshui said, once the capital is successfully transferred, the imperial city can be backed by three imperial vassals, and has enough confidence to say no to the different surnames.

"Father is thoughtful, this Bianzhou is a treasured geomantic place." Xiao Ming hesitated and said.

He is calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart has been turbulent. In modern thinking, the imperial city is an economic circle.

Chang'an Fushu, the surrounding states and counties will also be driven to become wealthy, if the imperial city is really selected in Bianzhou, his products will save a lot of transportation costs in the future.

After all, Chang'an is 800 kilometers away from Qingzhou, while Bianzhou is only 400 kilometers away. From Bianzhou, it only takes 100 kilometers to reach Yunzhou, the westernmost part of his fief. This distance is similar to the distance from Qingzhou to Jinling City.

The distance between the imperial city and his fief was shortened by half, which meant that his fief status suddenly became important.

And because of his own existence, it may also be possible to avoid the chaos of the world due to the changes of a certain surnamed king.

After all, the foreign troubles are not eliminated now, and he doesn't want to mess around in the country.

So on the whole, this relocation of the capital is not harmful to me. On the contrary, I can still get the same geographical advantage as King Zhao over the imperial city.

"So your Royal Highness supports the emperor's move to the capital?" Feng Deshui smiled slightly. It’s accusing your Highness.

Xiao Ming was taken aback. He always didn't like to pay attention to the affairs of the court. Feng Deshui said this because he wanted to explain his support for moving the capital.

He smiled. It turned out that before he knew it, he was no longer the dispensable King Qi in the country of Da Yu, and he also had his own weight in the court of the country of Da Yu.

But think about it, he is no different from a great official in frontiers, and in the eyes of Chang'an Baiguan, he is also a pivotal figure.

After a long period of trouble, when Feng Deshui reported the good news, he was also trying to win his letter to support the move of the capital. Now Feng Deshui should be going to King Wei.

It's just that he was thinking too simple, the following words from Feng Deshui made him suddenly stunned.

"Since your Royal Highness supports the move of the capital, I am afraid that your Royal Highness will have to make some effort to build this imperial city." Feng Deshui looked cunningly old.

Xiao Ming's face paled. The construction of the imperial city is not a joke. He said: "Feng Shilang, you don't know the situation of this king's fief. Now that you have the money to build the imperial city."

"Hahaha... Your Royal Highness is misunderstood. The imperial city is naturally paid for by the court. His Royal Highness will only take advantage of it. How can it suffer?" Feng Deshui looked like you understand.

Xiao Ming was relieved that Feng Deshui meant that he could contract the construction of the imperial city, and this big construction project was a business of making money.

If you say so, this is indeed a good thing. He doesn't care where Xiao Wenxuan built the imperial city, but it is a good thing that he can make money.

But for Xiao Ming, he actually prefers that the imperial city be built in Youzhou rather than Bianzhou.

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the emperor died, he is more happy to see the arrival of a glorious and prosperous age.

It's just that Youzhou is still in the hands of the barbarians, and it would be a joke to mention this.

After talking about moving the capital, Feng Deshui suddenly smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, when the old slave came, he saw that Qingzhou City was undergoing major repairs, and he saw many magical roads in the city. I don't know what this is?"

"This is a cement road." Xiao Ming said, his eyes rolled, and he said to Feng Deshui: "How does Feng Shilang think of this road?"

"Yes, it has similarities with the stone roads in Chang'an. It is very hard, and rain and snow will not affect walking at all." Feng Deshui groaned. When he entered the city, he took a fancy to this cement road and liked it very much. .

Although the move to the capital is far away, and there will be a long debate on this matter in the court, but it might as well show him his construction ability in advance.

What he lacks now is the accumulation of primitive capital. This imperial city construction is a big profitable project, and he has no reason not to compete.

If this transfer of the capital is done, it is estimated that the princes will compete for the construction of the imperial city.

"Feng Shilang just saw the surface." Xiao Ming said with a smile: "It's still early days. It's better to follow Feng Shilang to see the really interesting things."

"Really?" Feng Deshui showed strong interest.

After all, the two immediately left the Wangfu and headed towards Qingzhou Street. Now the roads in Qingzhou City have been paved by one-fifth, and many underground pipelines have been laid.

Xiao Ming led Feng Deshui not to go to other places but to the Wei's restaurant~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Your Royal Highness, are you asking the old slave to have a drink? "At the place, Feng Deshui smiled.

"No, no, please look here. Feng Shilang." Xiao Ming pointed to a trench with a cement pipe buried in it.

"What is this?" Feng Deshui asked puzzledly.

"This is a pipe made of cement. From the Weijia restaurant, a pipe is connected to the main pipe in front of the door. Guests who enter the main restaurant in the future can directly use the toilet in the restaurant, and even if it rains heavily in the future, There will be water accumulation," Xiao Ming explained.

Feng Deshui was a little confused, "Isn't all the toilets in the restaurant? You only need a dung bucket. Isn't this superfluous?"

"Feng Shilang, the difference is here. With this pipe, there is no need for dung buckets. Guests entering the main restaurant will live more comfortably. Look at the ceramic pipes that lead from upstairs to downstairs. There will always be a flush toilet in a restaurant room."
