Su Li had actually revealed her meaning a year ago, but the time was only now ripe.

Although Zhao Zexuan asked this question, he already had a good idea in mind, and Su Li had also guessed the general idea. So this time she didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I plan to distribute some grain seeds to the people so that they can plant them themselves and then hand over a certain amount of grain based on the yield."

Zhao Zexuan wasn't surprised that his guess was confirmed. He knew Su Li would have a countermeasure, so he wasn't worried about this meeting.

The distribution of high-yield crops to the people needs to be carried out cautiously, so there's no rush. What Su Li wants to know now is which city Zhao Zexuan will ultimately choose as the capital.

Su Li wasn't one to mince words, so since she was curious, she asked directly, "Which city do you ultimately prefer?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan said, "Liucheng has a better geographical location. Moreover, although the north has stabilized, there are still many places that need to be guarded against. The north and south also need to exchange information."

Su Li had carefully compared the two cities, Huacheng and Liucheng, and Liucheng was indeed more suitable than Huacheng. It was not surprising that Zhao Zexuan chose Liucheng.

Having confirmed that Zhao Zexuan had chosen Liucheng, Su Li had nothing to ask or worry about. So she asked about the relocation of the capital so that she could prepare in advance.

Zhao Zexuan discussed the timing of the capital relocation with his generals and finally decided on a date one month later. By then, Liucheng would be ready, and the affairs in Lingcheng could be dealt with sooner.

Zhao Zexuan knew that Su Li had a lot of things to deal with, so he asked, "Is a month enough time to hand over your work? Do you need any help?"

Hearing this, Su Li shook her head and said, "There's no need to worry about things in the city. The handover started several months ago and is almost complete now. However, there are some things that still need careful consideration."

Su Li could usually make decisions, but now that she said this, it seemed there was something truly difficult. Zhao Zexuan then asked, "What matter requires consideration?"

"Have you selected anyone specifically who will be moving the capital to Liucheng?" Su Li asked directly.

Zhao Zexuan had also considered this point. The families of the senior generals who followed him were all in Lingcheng. If they were to move away from Lingcheng, they would naturally have to go with him. This was beyond doubt.

The generals who are by my side are all very loyal. It is impossible to leave them behind in Lingcheng. They must leave together, and then Lingcheng will be empty, which is not good.

Realizing this, Zhao Zexuan understood Su Li's purpose in asking the question. She probably knew that he couldn't leave his generals and family behind; all she wanted to do was resolve the issue of Lingcheng being deserted.

"Is Madam worried that Lingcheng is becoming deserted and gradually declining?" Zhao Zexuan asked.

Seeing that Zhao Zexuan understood her intention, Su Li did not hide anything and nodded directly, saying, "I do have this concern. I'm sure the general doesn't want to see Lingcheng decline, after all, it carries too much weight."

"Besides, even putting that aside, the grain base is here, and we need manpower."

Su Li's concerns were not unfounded. Zhao Zexuan said directly, "I will relocate a group of people from other places to Lingcheng, so there is no need to worry about a shortage of manpower."

Hearing this, Su Li felt relieved and nodded to indicate that she understood.
