Bianjing is a new suburb in the north of Kaifeng City.
Luo Youdu looked at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar scenes around him, smiled and said to Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Lu Duoxun, Han Wei and others beside him: "This is my son's contribution."
The northern suburbs of the city were originally the manors of the great gentry. They had their own houses in the city and their own courtyards outside the city.
Or you can stay there for a few days during your break, or you can use it to escape the heat in the summer.
The population of Bianjing has long been saturated, and land in the city is at a premium. Many officials in the capital simply cannot afford to buy houses in the city, so they live in rented houses.
If Luo Youdu had not revealed his intention to move the capital earlier, the land prices in Bianjing would have soared and become unstoppable.
Even so, before the real decision is made to move the capital, land prices in Bianjing and Kaifeng will only rise, not fall.
Luo Youdu has long been determined to expand Kaifeng, but many things have to be done step by step, and he cannot do whatever comes to mind like Yang Guang. Today, the expansion to the east will offend the Guanlong Group; tomorrow, he will make a fool of himself and pretend to be fat, and spend a lot of money to attract neighboring countries to come to China.
Pay tribute and trade, and also order merchants to wear gorgeous clothes, and not charge a penny for the warm hospitality of foreign merchants, which offended the gentry and merchants; the day after tomorrow, the canal was built, and the people in the south of the Central Plains suffered; the day after tomorrow, there was another conquest of Goguryeo, and the people of Hebei, Shandong, and
A messy mess.
To put it bluntly, if the Sui Dynasty is not destroyed, it will be difficult for heaven to tolerate it.
This reform will understandably offend a group of people. It has to be done step by step and implemented immediately when you think of it. No matter how good the government decree is, it will be affected by the environment.
Zhao Pu is still the same, with a sincere face and a silly smile.
The prime minister headed by Dou Yi and the Ministry of Industry successfully demolished the villas in the north and south suburbs of the city, planned and built the city, and pushed the new suburbs five miles to the north.
A year ago, in order to test Chou Chou, he controlled the imperial court and proposed a proposal to expand Bianjing.
The Ministry of Rites has already sent news that the King of Qin led hundreds of officials to greet him in the north of the city and congratulate him on his victory.
In particular, Luo Kangrui has practiced boxing and kicking under Fu Qing'er's training since he was a child, which has laid a solid foundation for himself in martial arts. His agility in movements is far better than that of ordinary people.
The political sensitivity between civil and military forces is clearly visible here.
He knows that making this decision is easy to say but not easy to actually take action.
"Haha!" Luo Youdu laughed when he heard this and knew Fu Qing'er's good intentions.
Before Luo Youdu came to the throne, Fu Qing'er was in charge of everything at home. Fu Qing'er was responsible for hosting banquets at home and delivering gifts during the holidays.
Of course, don't expect this kind of horse to be very fast.
Luo Youdu chose Bai Yan to give to his son.
Luo Kangrui was galloping alone on his horse in front, with Chang Side and more than ten guards guarding behind him.
Although Luo Youdu couldn't do such a shameless thing as taking action against these wealthy businessmen and gentry, for the sake of the development of Dayu, he would not care about his old feelings.
However, even if this kind of foal is still underage, it has a very bad temper, and without rigorous training, it is easy to get frightened and lose control.
Even if the historical status of Bianjing and Kaifeng will be reduced due to the relocation of the capital in the future, this place is connected by water and land, connecting the east, west, north and south. Relying on the unique geographical conditions, even if the status of Tokyo is finally removed, it will develop in an orderly manner, but it will not be as it was in history.
General deformity.
Chang Side did not disturb the two father and son's reminiscences. At this moment, when he saw Luo Youdu looking at him, he stepped forward to pay his respects.
Looking at the unfinished new courtyard on the outskirts of the new city, Luo Youdu smiled very happily, more happily than he had fought in a big battle.
If this situation had happened ten years ago, it would never have happened.
There were many heroic deeds in this Northern Expedition, such as Dang Jin, Zhang Qiong calling for a hundred cavalry formations, Gao Huaide riding a single horse to kill a general, Pan Meili defeating Yingzhou, Cao Bin and Yelu Xiu fighting with two tigers, and seventy-year-old general Lu Jiang defeating the Japanese state. Navy, wait, wait...
Chou Chou resisted the pressure and chose the plan to expand Bianjing immediately.
Luo Youdu was panicked. In his memory, Chou Chou had never ridden alone, so he hurried up with his whip raised.
"Congratulations to your majesty on your triumphal return!"
Besides, Queen Fu Qing'er is Fu Yanqing's daughter and she is originally from the military.
The two sides did not talk in detail. Luo Kangrui reminded: "Father, Prime Minister Dou, Prime Minister Zhao, and Prime Minister Xue are waiting in front. When the child received the news from his father, he missed him deeply and didn't want to wait any longer, so he rode off first. Come."
Luo Kangrui said with a bit of pride: "My mother taught me this on my seventh birthday." As he said that, he said aggrievedly: "I wanted to ride the white swallow given by my father, but my mother wouldn't let me. She said she could either ride Xiaoguai or ride in a sedan. She had no other choice, so she had to ride Xiaopai."
Luo Youdu was very curious. Even though Zhou Xiaomei was the younger sister of Emperor Zhou E, according to etiquette, she could not enter the palace anytime and anywhere.
Especially when encountering many obstacles, it is commendable to be able to make a decision in a short time, instead of specifically asking for your own opinion or delaying waiting for you to return to school.
The heroic deeds of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in historical reality will appear in Dayu Daily, which not only provides the people with something to talk about, but also promotes patriotic ideas.
It's okay to ride on special occasions. Even if you fall off the horse, you won't be seriously injured. Unless it's a special occasion, Luo Kangrui can't control his age.
After walking forward for half a mile, Dayu officials lined up to greet him.
After walking a few miles, dust was flying in the distance.
Luo Youdu looked up and looked overjoyed, and then he was shocked. The person who came was actually Chou Chou Luo Kangrui, who had been away for nearly two years.
"Ah?" Luo Youdu said unexpectedly: "When did it happen?"
Amidst the congratulations of hundreds of officials, salutes and fireworks exploded, and Luo Youdu and many Northern Expedition generals entered the city surrounded by hundreds of officials.
Luo Youdu got on the horse and watched Luo Kangrui get on the horse safely. As he walked, he asked, "When did you learn to ride a horse?"
Seeing that Luo Youdu looked a little tired, she stepped forward and naturally rubbed his shoulders and said, "Situ Zhou has gone."
After Luo Kangrui found out, he clamored for one too.
With the surrender of Wu Yue, the world was unified.
When he got close, Luo Kangrui pulled the reins neatly, stopped the thick Shu horse, turned over and dismounted vigorously, and bowed: "I have seen my father!"
Luo Youdu's attitude towards Chou Chou was clear, but Chou Chou was not established as the prince after all, and was not the crown prince of the Yu Dynasty. Not to mention that he was not a crown prince, even if he was a crown prince, there were many who abandoned him in history.
Luo Youdu was going to give Li Jilong a precious horse, which means imperial horse. This famous general who defeated the Khitan and conquered Xixia in history was one of the few people who could challenge Brother Yelvxiu, and he was already growing up.
Luo Youdu shouted.
Luo Youdu completely put aside all his affairs and spent the entire afternoon accompanying Fu Qing'er, the daughter of Emperor Zhou E, and playing with Zhe Saihua's two sons, as if he wanted to make up for the two years that had passed away.
Luo Youdu then asked about Zhou Xiaomei and said, "Why is Zhou Xiaomei in the palace today? She didn't leave the palace at night. It seems that she stayed in the palace directly?"
Luo Youdu breathed a sigh of relief. He was right. His memory of Chou Chou stayed at the time when he left. He was only six years old at that time and is now eight years old.
The proposal to expand Bianjing was put forward by Shen Huzi of the Ministry of Industry.
There is not even a slight difference between six years old and eight years old.
There are not enough people to be beheaded.
He has already decided on a strategy and will not touch the city at all. He will only classify the north and south suburbs as state-owned and civilian, and there is no need to build city walls. This is equivalent to building two more urban areas for development on the outskirts of the city.
Xue Juzheng, as a good-looking member of the civil servant group, remains as charming as ever.
What's more, some good people have started to write unofficial history. Zhao Kuangyi's identity is too topical. Zhao Kuangyi actually became the number one villain, and his abilities were greatly enhanced to set off the prowess of Emperor Yu...
They either wrote a letter or used various means to find someone to complain about, intending to use various methods to influence and delay the occurrence of this matter. Many "scholar commoners" even went to Kaifeng Mansion to protest.
He looked at Chou Chou carefully for a while, and then looked at Chang Side behind him.
With Chou Chou nodding, everything will be easy to say next.
Xiaoguai is a packhorse from Shu. It has a docile temperament and is not alarmed by changes. Historically, in the harem of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yuhuan and other women in the palace used this horse to play polo. It is short and strong, and can run smoothly. Anyone who is not good at riding can ride it. Walking around is especially safe.
The Dayu court received the treasury that Wu Yue had worked hard for decades, and various domestic trades were launched one by one.
These deeds were reported and publicized one by one, and everyone knew them, and everyone in Dayu was familiar with them.
The status of Queen Fu Qing'er was supreme. Although Emperor Zhou E, Zhe Saihua, Madam Huarui, Huangfu Xiu and others were reluctant to part with her, they also resigned knowingly.
Luo Youdu said with a bit of doting: "You, you have to apologize to your husband-in-law when you go back..."
It was because Kaifeng Prefecture was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people under the leadership of Kou Xiang, and because Bianjing was the richest and most ideological place in the world, this situation happened.
Arriving all the way to Xuandemen, Luo Youdu looked at the absent-minded generals on the left and right, and said with a smile: "I know that you are eager to return home, so I will postpone the celebration banquet for two days. Let's disband and go back to see our parents, wives and children!"
Luo Youdu didn't care about this, he just felt like he was returning home and unknowingly accelerated his progress.
As long as we walk a little further, we can see the precious son whom we miss so much.
As for the Imperial Guards who stayed outside the city, the imperial court had arranged food and drinks, and the Ministry of Rites also prepared songs and dances to hold a large celebration banquet for them.
The wealthy merchants and gentry in Bianjing City contributed a lot of money and efforts, so Luo Youdu would naturally not harm their interests.
Luo Youdu praised Chang Side a few times. This northern expedition was obviously a great opportunity to gain merit, but Chang Side stayed without any regrets and guarded the imperial city of the capital.
Dou Yi stood up as straight as possible and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty is welcome to triumph!"
Only Dou Yi is a bit stooped, has gray beard and hair, and is very old.
If Emperor Zhou E is a noble peony, Miss Zhou is like a pure and delicate white lotus.
The people in Bianjing City were like crazy. They shouted long live and shouted the names of heroes and generals from all walks of life.
Luo Youdu felt sour in his heart.
Of course, the most crucial battle of this Northern Expedition was to defeat Zhao Kuangyi's Wanquan formation.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Luo Youdu happily reunited with his long-lost wife and children, and inquired about the situation of the prince and princess in detail.
Bai Yan is a sweat-blooded foal bred at Fuzhou Racecourse, the embryo of a precious foal from the gods.
Luo Kangrui was obviously a little shy and his body was a little stiff. Although he missed his father's embrace, he was still the king of Qin, which was too shameful!
Luo Youdu put Luo Kangrui down and checked. Before he left, Chou Chou was still on his thigh. In the blink of an eye, it was almost up to his waist.
The imperial court's economic recovery no longer needed to rely on the support of the wealthy merchants and gentry in Bianjing City.
Therefore, what Lu Duoxun and Han Wei praised was "his majesty's style", just to avoid accidents, and this simple flattery would be used by others.
Lu Duoxun and Han Wei naturally understood what Luo Youdu meant, and they all praised Chou Chou for being young and courageous and having the style of a majesty.
We haven’t seen each other for two years, and Miss Zhou is becoming more and more beautiful, with a calm look...
Fu Qing'er sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know yet!"
As for Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin went a step further, saying bluntly that Chou Chou has the tools to be a wise king and a wise master.
Provoke the court?
Luo Kangrui also accepted the greetings from Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Lu Duoxun, Han Wei and others at this time.
Luo Youdu got off the horse, looked at his son who was almost a head taller than he remembered, stepped forward and picked him up, spun him around, and said with a smile: "It's so heavy, let's go down again. Father will not be able to hold him." Touched you!"
At least he did not grant this privilege. Even though Emperor Zhou E was one of the four concubines, he did not have this power.
Fu Qing'er said: "About a year ago, when the war ahead was tense, it was not a big deal, so I didn't inform Your Majesty."
He was away on an expedition, and Chou Chou was young. He only had the power to make decisions and could not make any ideas. Zhao Pu's main task was to stabilize the court and control the officials. Most of the trivial administrative matters fell on Dou Yi.
As soon as this proposal came out, many officials naturally started to compete.
Amidst the shouts of His Majesty's Holy Wisdom, Luo Youdu and Luo Kangrui strode non-stop to the harem.
Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin had no such intention.
Therefore, Luo Youdu was not in a hurry to offend the wealthy merchants and gentry in Bianjing City.
In the eyes of old men like Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin, Fu Qing'er was regarded as a sister-in-law, so she naturally supported Chou Chou.
Until evening, Luo Youdu had dinner with his wife and children.
After all, when Luo Youdu came to the throne, the world had not yet been unified, and the economy was very tight due to conquests from east to west.
Although there are many officials assisting him, the master is absent and the young master is young, so the pressure on him as the prime minister is undoubtedly the heaviest.
"Prime Minister Dou!"
As the queen, Fu Qing'er had already led Zhou Ehuang, Zhe Saihua, Mrs. Huarui, Huangfu Xiu and all the children to greet her. What surprised Luo Youdu was that Zhou Xiaomei was among them.
In particular, those officials who have separate offices in the north and south urban areas, or groups whose interests have been harmed, are the most fiercely opposed.
Luo Youdu nodded slightly. Zhou Zong was already eighty when he went north with him. He only had the title of Situ and did not do anything at all.
"I remember that when we went to war, he was almost ninety years old, which can be considered a long life."
Fu Qing'er said: "Situ Zhou passed away suddenly and there were no men in the family. My little sister was alone at home to observe mourning. She fainted from crying several times and became thinner and thinner. Concubine Zhou felt sorry for her and asked me to allow her to enter the palace to take care of her. Concubine Zhou There was only one little sister Zhou left in the city, so I felt really sorry for him, so I agreed."
Tomorrow I will go back to my hometown in Jiangxi to celebrate the New Year. I am not sure whether I can update it. I would like to apologize first. It will take 13 hours to drive without traffic jam. If there is no traffic jam, I should be able to update it.
