The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"Yes, I obey your order!"

"I obey your order!"

"I second the proposal!"

Everyone said in unison.

"I haven't finished yet. This case has a huge impact and has seriously affected the development of our Daqian."

"Therefore, all the noble families involved in this matter will be stripped of their rights to participate in the five chambers of commerce and Daqian Bank, including all engineering projects and mines."

Ning Quan said again.

"Ah~!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers were in an uproar.

I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would directly take away all the rights of these families, which was equivalent to taking their lives.

For a moment, a chill rose in the hearts of the ministers.

They knew that His Majesty was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

The consequences of this corruption incident in the Ironware Chamber of Commerce are too serious. If it is not dealt with thoroughly, who knows how many noble families will follow suit in the future.

"Why, do you have any objections?"

Ning Quan glanced at everyone and asked lightly.

"I have no objection!"

"Your Majesty is wise."

……

Seeing Ning Quan's eyes, the ministers dared not refute and all bowed in submission.

"Okay, let's adjourn the court!"

Ning Quan waved his hand and said.

As Ning Quan left the court, all the ministers left.

"Your Majesty, you really scared these guys this time."

After everyone in the hall had left, Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Humph, if we don't use some drastic measures on them, they won't learn their lesson!"

A hint of ruthlessness appeared on Ning Quan's face.

Ning Quan didn't like aristocratic families, and this matter was specially arranged by him.

He knew about this a few days ago, but he waited until today's court meeting to give everyone a warning.

After all, this matter is of great importance and involves the safety of Daqian, so it must be dealt with severely.

"Your Majesty, other chambers of commerce also have problems to varying degrees. Do you want to..."

Jia Xu continued.

"No, just let them continue to be greedy. If they don't, how can I uproot them?"

Ning Quan shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty is wise, I understand."

Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Don't just focus on these chambers of commerce. You also need to keep a close eye on the officials. In particular, the integrity of local officials must be guaranteed."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am already watching."

"Your Majesty, actually, at least there are fewer cases of corruption among local officials now."

Jia Xu said with a smile.

“Really? Why do you say that?”

Ning Quan asked with some doubts.

"Your Majesty, you may have forgotten your system officials. Their loyalty to Your Majesty is undoubtedly unquestionable."

"The most important thing is that they are currently the inspectors of all the provincial capitals. With them supervising the local officials, no one can commit corruption."

Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Haha, that's great. This way, I'll be relieved."

Ning Quan laughed out loud upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty is holy."

Jia Xu complimented.

Ning Quan then chatted with Jia Xu for a while, and Jia Xu said goodbye and left.

Ning Quan was thinking about moving the capital in the main hall.

The decision to move the capital had already been made, and all preparations were basically complete.

But the departure time has not yet been determined.

After thinking for a long time, Ning Quan sent someone to call Zhuge Liang and the Minister of Works.

He decided to inquire about the situation and then move the capital as soon as possible.

Soon, Zhuge Liang and Minister of Works Liu He arrived at the hall.

"Prime Minister, Minister Liu, how are the preparations for moving the capital going?"

Ning Quan asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, preparations are almost complete. All ministries, departments, procuratorates, and the Supreme Court are ready and can depart at any time."

"The only thing that can't happen now is the university, because it will delay our studies. The school wants to move during the summer."

Zhuge Liang said respectfully.

"Well, that's fine."

"Sure, no problem. The university will move later then."

Ning Quan said slowly.

"Your Majesty, when do you think we should move the capital?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Has the Yanjing Palace been repaired?"

Ning Quan did not answer the question, but asked.

"Your Majesty, the Yanjing Palace has been completely renovated and is now complete."

"The relevant maids, eunuchs, etc. are also fully equipped."

Zhuge Liang spoke.

"Okay, in that case, let's move the capital in three days."

Ning Quan said after pondering for a moment.

"Your Majesty is wise! I will issue the order immediately."

Zhuge Liang said quickly.

"Well, the matter of moving the capital cannot be sloppy. You should do it immediately."

Ning Quan said calmly.

"Yes!"

"I resign!"

"I resign!"

Zhuge Liang and Liu He took their leave.

Ning Quan turned around and went to the harem, told Li Wanyue about the capital relocation, and asked her to prepare immediately.

As the mistress of the harem, Li Wanyue naturally has control over the entire harem.

Moving is not a trivial matter, especially when the emperor moves, it is even more of a big deal because there are so many things to do.

Especially Ning Quan’s private vault, which is filled with a large number of treasures.

Fortunately, most of the things had been packed in advance, otherwise I would have been too busy to handle it.

But even so, the entire palace was still extremely busy, and all the eunuchs and palace maids were busy packing things.

The palace was busy, and the outside was equally bustling.

All the ministries and government offices of the imperial court, as well as officials of all ranks, became busy.

All the case files, materials, and official documents were packed up and prepared to be transported to Yanjing City three days later.

The officials themselves also had to prepare and bring their families to Yanjing.

With the official announcement of the imperial edict, the news of His Majesty's relocation of the capital spread instantly throughout the streets and alleys, and the entire Chang'an City was suddenly in an uproar.

Move the capital?

This is something that no emperor in history has ever done.

"It's over! His Majesty is moving the capital to Yanjing. This capital is doomed!"

"Hey, who says it's not?"

"With Your Majesty moving the capital, all officials and dignitaries, including the wealthy gentry in the capital, will undoubtedly follow suit. Business in the capital will likely be difficult from now on, becoming increasingly depressed year by year!"

"Yeah, what should I do?"

"..."

The entire capital was buzzing with discussion, and all the people were wondering why His Majesty had suddenly moved the capital.

But there were also knowledgeable people who saw through the mystery and agreed to move the capital.

"Your Majesty's action is a great wisdom, truly considering the country."

An old man said in an enigmatic tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty is very far-sighted. Otherwise, how could so many factories be established near Yanjing in advance? And the roads and railways were also built there."

Another person sighed.

"Haha, you're still looking too close. Let me tell you, the real reason His Majesty moved the capital is because Yanjing is close to the sea. That's the general trend of the world!"

An old man next to him stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of this!"

After hearing the old man's words, the two people just now slapped their heads, with an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"This old man is right. Your Majesty is doing this for the sake of the country. I think we should also work hard to avoid being eliminated."

The rest of the people were in a daze for a while, and then they woke up.

Although the people of Daqian are simple, they are not stupid.

With just a little thought, you will understand the mystery.

Daqian's maritime trade is now extremely prosperous, and it is a general trend to vigorously develop shipping and maritime trade in the future.

Yanjing is closest to the sea, and the benefits of moving the capital to Yanjing are self-evident to Daqian.

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

For a moment, the people of Daqian knelt down and shouted.
