The location of the capital is of great importance, which is why Su Li is so conflicted.

In his letter, Zhao Zexuan mentioned two places: Huacheng, located on a plain, and Liucheng, located at the junction of the north and south. In essence, both places are quite good, with developed economies and smooth trade.

Because both locations are suitable, this is where the dilemma lies – which one is the most suitable?

The location of the relocation won't have a significant impact on Su Li; however, she needs to plan ahead for the future development focus of the planting base.

In just one year, Su Li has established planting bases in several surrounding cities. Now that she is at a critical stage of development, she needs to prepare early if she is to relocate the city.

The news of the unification of the world has already spread far and wide, and now all the people of Lingcheng, big and small, have learned about it. It is likely that most people were already prepared for the relocation of the city.

Grain bases are crucial to the basic needs of the people and cannot be neglected. Therefore, Su Li set aside a day to discuss the matter with the heads of various grain bases.

Early in the morning, the main hall was filled with people. Su Li sat at the head of the table, listening to the reports from the various responsible persons.

A monthly report was a fixed procedure. Su Li patiently listened to and commented on the reports from each person in charge before speaking, "Have you all heard about those rumors outside?"

Hearing this, the officials, including Aunt Wang, nodded and said, "Madam, are you referring to the relocation of the capital?"

Upon hearing this, Su Li nodded and said, "Yes, the matter of relocating the capital is of great importance, and a decision will likely be made soon. We must also be prepared."

Everyone present knew exactly what kind of preparations were needed; the grain base couldn't function without people, and someone had to stay behind.

When the news of the relocation of the capital came out, everyone present was prepared, so when Su Li brought it up, everyone in the room stood up and respectfully said, "Madam, we are all willing to stay."

Hearing the unanimous answer, Su Li shook her head and said, "We don't need so many people. I plan to build several more grain bases, which will require even more people. You are all experienced, so I'll have to trouble you to help out. Therefore, two people will be in charge of each base."

Originally, there were six people in charge of each base, each in charge of different affairs. Now, Su Li has suddenly reduced it to two, which is quite unexpected.

It was unexpected, but orders had to be obeyed. So after Su Li finished speaking, the heads of each base looked at each other and then said in unison, "Madam, I'm afraid we still need to discuss this further."

Su Li was not surprised by this and nodded, saying, "We do need to discuss this properly. There's no rush. Just give me an answer in three days."

All those in charge: "Okay!"

***

After the meeting ended, everyone else had left the mansion, but Su Li kept Aunt Wang and the others behind.

Seeing that everyone else had left, leaving only Aunt Wang and a few others, Su Li asked, "Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu, are you two staying in Lingcheng, or not moving with the capital?"

The two women, Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu, had acted quite strongly just now, which is why Su Li asked them this question.

Upon hearing Su Li's question, Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu nodded without hesitation and said, "Madam, we will be able to play a greater role by staying at the grain base to keep an eye on things for you."

"Besides, we've been in Lingcheng for so long, and we've developed an attachment to this place. Staying here is better for us."
