In recent years, because the Ministry of Industry has built roads in various states, the roads connecting the imperial court and the localities have been opened up, and the sea roads have been unblocked, the Silk Road has exploded, and business has become more and more prosperous.

Naturally, the influence among the common people has also increased.

Da Wu settled the fields at home, and the occupation of tenants began to enter the sunset stage, thus increasing the occupation of workers. Nowadays, many people rely on merchants for food.

The counterattack from the business community brought the relocation of the capital to a climax.

In mid-May, Xun Yu formally played at the monthly meeting of the court council, requesting His Majesty to move the capital to Chang'an City.

At that time, it sparked controversy in the entire imperial court.

The Jiangdong ministers headed by the chief assistant Zhu Zhi of the cabinet naturally spared no effort to oppose it.

There was a lot of debate between the two sides.

……

In June, the court council had discussed the matter of moving the capital for the third time, but there was still no result. In the fourth discussion, Li Ru's rebellion finally gave Xun Yu and the others the upper hand.

Sun Quan began to make a decision, and directly dispatched a group of inspection offices to Chang'an City to investigate whether Chang'an City has the scale of a new capital city.

In the end, the team leader and deputy team leader of the inspection office fell to Lu Dai, the doctor of the Yushitai, and Zongzheng Sunjing of the Zongren Mansion.

In August, Lu Dai and Sun Jing returned to the imperial court and reported to Sun Quan that the scale of Chang'an City's construction, whether it was the construction of the city walls or the planning of inner and outer city streets, had far exceeded the scale of Jinling City today.

In September, Sun Quan issued an order to move the capital to Chang'an.

Moving the capital was not an easy task. As soon as the news came out, the entire city of Chang'an was expensive in Luoyang, and every inch of land was worth every inch of gold. Aristocratic families and merchants from all over the world settled in Chang'an City one after another.

In the second year of Longce, on October [-]st, Sun Quan offered sacrifices to heaven on the altar of Fengchan in Zhongshan.

On October [-], the Central Army Corps and the Imperial Guards began to escort the imperial court northward to Chang'an, and a long line of teams began to leave Jinling City from Chaoyang Gate, as if the heyday and prosperity of Jinling had passed away.

On November 27, Sun Quan led his courtiers to Chang'an City.

On December [-]th, Liu Ye built a sacrifice platform on the outskirts of Chang'an.

On December [-]th, Sun Quan led hundreds of officials, both civil and military, to the Tiantai to offer sacrifices to the heavens, expressing the court's decision to make Chang'an the capital.

This is the end of the matter of moving the capital of Great Wu.

The task of Jinling City as the capital city since the Jiangdong era has also come to an end. The future political direction of Great Wu is officially set in Chang'an City, which is also the closest place to connect to the Western Regions.

[Text 580 Chapter Nine: Development Across Era]

Although the relocation of the capital has been completed, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done. The new Great Wu Capital still uses the old name of Chang'an City, but compared to the old Chang'an, this is a brand new city.

The area of ​​the new Chang'an city is almost twice that of the old Chang'an city, and it is divided into three main parts, the imperial city, the inner city, and the outer city.

The imperial city is the former Weiyang Palace City.

Originally, the imperial city should be Weiyang Palace City together with Changle Palace City to be considered complete. However, when Changle Palace City was rebuilt in the first phase of Chang'an City in the early years, it was given up by Zhuge Jun, then governor of Yongzhou, in exchange for a huge amount of money.

This siege city has been divided into mansions and then rebuilt, becoming a group of mansions on the edge of Weiyang Palace City. If we use the current terms, this is the most high-end villa in this era, not one of them.

As the imperial city of the former Han Dynasty, it was suddenly changed into an ordinary mansion and sold to ordinary people. This is an opportunity for many people to be contaminated with the spirit of the emperor. They even went bankrupt and bought it at a high price. It is really an inch of land. An inch of gold, which made the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion earn a lot of money.

After the reconstruction of Weiyang Palace City, although the area is not comparable to the extravagance and waste of the previous dynasty, it is still enough. In terms of grandeur, it is definitely worse than that. The front hall is the parliament hall, the cabinet hall, The main hall of military aircraft, the main hall of Yushitai, the administrative halls of the eight departments of the imperial court are on the left and right, and the inner hall is behind, that is, the harem.

The inner city is the former Chang'an City, which uses the old city walls and gates to enclose the imperial city, but re-plans the streets of the inner city, removes some houses, and completes the unified planning and division. The streets that run through the whole city are the main ones, forming a well-shaped inner city plan, and the rules are polite.

As for the outer city, it is still under construction. The east extends directly to Bashang, the south directly leads to the Shu Road, and the northwest crosses the Weishui River. It is still being recruited and built. This project is absolutely unprecedented.

In today's world, regardless of the Far East or Western Europe, Sun Quan can directly pat his chest and tell anyone that there is no city comparable in scale to Chang'an City, even the old capital Jinling is not comparable to Chang'an City today .

If this city is completed and built, it will be enough to become the number one ancient city in history.

……

At the end of the second year of Longce, Chang'an City.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, heavy snow flutters, and all the city walls and houses are covered with a layer of white snow. The streets and alleys are covered with thick snow, and the picture that suddenly looks is truly beautiful.

This year is regarded as the first year that Great Wu moved its capital to Chang'an.

The people in Chang'an City are very happy and excited at this moment. After all, from now on, the people in Chang'an City will be the people under the emperor's feet. In this era, this is a great honor.

Moreover, in just half a year, the number of residents in Chang'an City has more than doubled at least, and there are countless people from all directions who are constantly pouring in. The inner city is already full, and the outer city is also constantly building houses. .

This made Chang'an City more lively and prosperous for a long time.

At the end of the year, there will be a lot of things on the court, and this year is still the year when the capital is moved, so there are even more things to do. The cabinet, military aircraft department, Yushitai, and the eight departments of the court all show that they are busy. It's like a dog that doesn't even have time to pant.

Sun Quan, the Great Wu Emperor, was no exception. Apart from the constant meetings, military meetings, cabinet meetings, and reviewing memorials every day, he couldn't even lift his hands bitterly.

"Boda, send all these memorials back to the cabinet. You tell them, if such a trivial matter has to be reported, then I will consider whether I need to dismiss the cabinet!"

In the Jiaofang Palace, Sun Quan lost his temper suddenly, and threw a pile of memorabilia on the hand.

"promise!"

Sima Lang came out and quickly picked up these playing books.

"Remember, tell them what I said!"

Sun Quan said coldly.

This Zhu Zhi's courage is really not good enough. He is capable, but he dare not take too much power, and all things big and small are played. This is a very depressing thing for Sun Quan.

"I obey my orders!"

Sima Lang saw it, and hurriedly left the Jiaofang Hall with the book in his arms.

"Your Majesty, Liu Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is asking to see you outside the hall!"

"Liu Ziyang? He comes here three times a day. This debt collector is really difficult to deal with. If things go on like this, let alone Zhuge Jun and Xun Zhan, even I will be tortured crazy by him!"

When Sun Quan heard this, there was a slight wry smile on his face.

Liu Ye's Ministry of Industry has become a huge gold-swallowing department of the imperial court today, and no amount of money invested in it can afford to make a fuss, especially the twelve main roads planned this year with Chang'an City as the center, which requires a huge investment. Zhuge Junmi Zhu Xunzhan and others are so crazy.

"Your Majesty, this is a three-year development plan that you personally set. If you want to get rich, you must first build bridges and roads, so no matter what cost, no matter what manpower, no matter what financial resources, within three years, we will open up the roads of the whole country. Tong Tong, Liu Ziyang's is equivalent to bringing the imperial decree!"

Pang Tong came out and teased Sun Quan with a smile.

"Isn't the beautiful words meant to boost their morale?"

Sun Quan said: "But he Liu Ziyang can't force me like a mad dog, and now I can't make money either!"
