Chapter 4 Relocation and expansion of the capital is a problem

Routine visits to the people are now one of the few times that Li Chengzhao has time to relax. In the past, he was more about confirming what his father said, but now he is more about understanding the people from his own perspective. After all, he is the prince now, and he is under a lot of pressure.

Chong. After studying with his father for a long time, he can truly feel what kind of attitude he needs to treat when visiting people.

Naturally, there are not so many bad things in the most benign place in Guanzhong. Even if there are, they will disappear in the near future. The reason is naturally that the big actions of the imperial court some time ago frightened those people a lot, for fear that they would be implicated.

, the security here has also been improved to a higher level, and police officers can often be seen patrolling back and forth.

This left Li Chengzhao very speechless. His purpose was to understand the real people, not the people under the gaze of the police. What's more, his face has been remembered by many local magistrates and officials, and he can no longer remember it.

I got to know the place quietly.

It is not practical to go to other places, such as Hedong Road, Hebei Road and other places, because the censor is keeping an eye on him, so he can only find an opportunity to sneak over next time and see if he can find anything else.

Increase your experience.

Occasionally, he would envy his other brothers and sisters, who could do what they liked, or just lie down and spend the whole day at school, and then run out to play after school, or have a party with three or two friends, drink or something. Since he

After being appointed as the crown prince, his status was in vain raised to a situation where even his former classmates had to treat him with caution, which made him lose a lot of things. This is also the price of growing up, or so he thought.

While traveling, Li Chengzhao didn't have the word "Prince" engraved on his forehead, and all the rest of his entourage was in compliance with the standards of a prince. There was even a small eunuch who stayed with him to record what he did. Hmm.

, this is to prevent the royal bloodline from spreading.

But in fact, he has not found any women so far. He heard that several of his brothers are about to get engaged, but there are not many women around him. Although the queen mother once told him about taking a concubine, she also warned him

After him, don't be greedy for Wenwen Township. Now everything must be focused on studying government affairs. In addition, it can gradually relax in a few years.

He himself has no requirements in this regard, he just wants to be normal. When he visited the counties in Guanzhong, he met one or two women who made him feel stunning and beautiful, but after thinking about it, he felt that he still wanted to

Just exercise some restraint and let nature take its course.

There are many things you need to pay attention to when walking in a place. One of them is not to show off as a prince and cause trouble. In the past, he also made trouble, but he did not dare to reveal his identity. Later, he learned a lesson and pretended to be the nephew of Duke Guanguo.

, and then it was very simple. Yang Gongren was impeached by the local censor for teaching his nephew and nephew.

Li Zhiyun naturally knew that this was the vest worn by his son, so he felt it was funny, and then suppressed the memorials, so there was no trouble. As for Yang Gongren, he was eager for the prince to use his name to do things.

When the prince sneaked out, a small court meeting was also held in Liangyi Palace. The main purpose of this court meeting was to fill the vacancies of officials. This time, many southern officials in Chang'an were severely punished, demoted or beheaded.

Or exiled, leaving a lot of space.

Li Zhiyun looked at the noisy ministers below and yawned out of boredom. He looked very sleepy. To be honest, after working all year round, there was never a day when he could relax. Everyone would feel sleepy and want to rest.

But he can't rest, he is the emperor.

"Are you done arguing?"

Looking at the silence of the ministers below, Li Zhiyun spoke lightly, and then gave Du Ruhui a wink. The latter immediately understood, stood up, and announced the decision of the political hall to the public. To fill the vacancies of officials, it is naturally impossible for the people below to decide

, can only be decided by the emperor.

Li Zhiyun had long been very skilled in sharing cakes, and he divided the cakes between the Guanlong people and the Shandong gentry very fairly, and both sides could accept it. After Du Ruhui finished speaking, the ministers all smiled happily and accepted the emperor's order, saying that they would obey the court's arrangements.

"Is there anything else?" Li Zhiyun asked.

At this time, most of the ministers had nothing to do, because everyone's purpose today was to share the cake. Now that the emperor has divided the cake for them, and everyone has no objections, what else can they do? Go home early and arrange for your children to join the officialdom.

That's what matters.

Xue Shu said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"speak."

"Yes." Xue Shou said slowly: "Since the late emperor established his capital in Chang'an, Guanzhong has become more prosperous and prosperous, and the number of people is increasing day by day. In addition to the original people of Guanzhong, there are now many merchants who often go in and out of Chang'an, and in Chang'an City, some

It is too small to be a capital city."

Xue Shou, what do you mean?

The people of Guanlong stared wide-eyed. Do you want to encourage the emperor to move the capital?

Dugu Huaien, the minister of punishment, immediately objected: "The most beautiful place in Guanzhong is where the capital of the empire is located. How can we move the capital without authorization? I object!"

Xue Shou glanced at him coldly and said, "Dugu Shilang, is there something wrong with your ears? When did I say anything about moving the capital?"

Is this guy sick? He just said that Chang'an City is too small to accommodate so many people.

Dugu Huaien did not accept this trick. He knew very well that although these guys did not say this now, they would always encourage the emperor to move the capital.

"I think Chang'an City is enough to bear the weight of the capital, and there is no need for Prime Minister Xue to think about what is available and what is not."

Xue Shou rolled his eyes and said directly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I wonder if your Majesty has seen Jing Zhaoyin's memorial."

"I have already read the memorial written by Xue Yuanjing." Li Zhiyun thought for a moment and said, "Chang'an City is indeed a bit small."

The people of Guanlong were immediately horrified, no way, no way, does the emperor really want to move the capital?

Immediately afterwards, a group of people jumped out and said how good Chang'an City was, how many people it could accommodate, and how it could continue to exist as a capital city.

Well, these people are all from Guanlong.

Li Zhiyun was not very surprised by their reaction. He waved his hands and said, "Everyone, please get up. I didn't say that I wanted to move the capital. I just said that Chang'an City is a bit small."

There is no rush to move the capital now.

The population of Chang'an City has been rising steadily and rapidly over the years, and now it does feel a bit overcrowded.

When the people of Guanlong heard what the emperor said, they retreated with a little peace of mind.

Li Zhiyun sighed: "I had the intention to expand Chang'an City, but after thinking about it I gave up."

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, if we don't expand, the capital will have to be moved. I have seen the Ministry of Civil Affairs registers, and it turns out that there are millions of people in Chang'an, and with the addition of those foreign merchants, there will be even more. Based on the current situation in Chang'an

The size of the city cannot support so many people."

This issue involves urban issues. Then, ministers such as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs came out to state the pros and cons and provide reference opinions for the emperor.

After a while, the emperor asked: "Is there anything you can do?"

All the ministers looked at each other. Generally speaking, there are two solutions to this problem. One is to expand Chang'an City, and the other is to move the capital. But the emperor said that he did not want to expand or move the capital, so what other solutions can everyone have.

You can't repeat the nonsense you've already said.
