Chapter 429(2/2)
"Your Majesty, why are you looking at the map of the seven counties?"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he looked at Yang Dayan with a half-smile and said:
"You can't think of it? I heard that you have been traveling around the seven counties in the past few months, inspecting various cities."
Hearing this, Yang Da's eyes were stunned, and then he suddenly realized and said in surprise:
"Your Majesty is talking about choosing a suitable city and building a new capital?"
Mom, Mr. Xu has hit the mark again! He even guessed His Majesty’s intention to choose a new capital. He’s really capable!
Xiao Cheng first shook his head slightly, then nodded again and said:
"I am determined to unify the world, so it is too early to choose a new capital... Now, I have to choose a suitable city to serve as a companion capital!"
Today's Yun Kingdom's territory stretches for thousands of miles from north to south and from east to west. It is so vast that it has long ceased to be located in the south. Zhongqing City is no longer suitable as a capital!
It just so happened that Xiao Cheng had drawn the purple Ce card [Accompanying the Capital System] before.
[Purple Ceka, accompanying the capital system
Card effect: After use, you can establish a companion capital. The city that is established as a companion capital will have public support +10. Within three years, the population and business of the companion capital will increase by 30% every year. A maximum of five companion capitals can be established. For each companion capital established, the rate of famous ministers will be
+1%, natural disaster rate -1%, imperial power +5, and the probability of rebellion is reduced.
Card description: Although the Qin Dynasty had its capital in Guanzhong, it still imitated the system of the Eastern Capital of Zhou Dynasty and built a palace in Luoyang.]
While he was out on tour, Xiao Cheng had to take the opportunity to choose a suitable city to serve as his capital!
When he heard that he was only accompanying the capital, not the new capital, Yang Dayan was a little disappointed and a little relieved, and said:
"Your Majesty doesn't know that in the past few months, I have been running around with my soldiers and traveled to many places... But to be honest, there are not many cities suitable for being a capital!"
Yang Dayan bowed slightly to Xiao Cheng, then bowed and walked to the map, pointed at it with his finger, and said:
"Although the seven counties are large, there are not many cities that can serve as the capital."
"Jiangyang County and Dejiang County are too close to Zhongqing City. If the capital is moved here, it will not be much different from before. It is completely unnecessary! And Xiangzhou County is more remote and close to the plateau, so it is not an option."
"The remaining Anshun County is too far north, and the roads are not smooth, so it is difficult to serve as the capital. So in the end, we can only choose a suitable city among Jiangzhou County and Shaoyang County!"
Xiao Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said:
"That's right, keep talking!"
Seeing Xiao Chengyu smiling with approval, Yang Dayan was even more excited and continued:
"Under the rule of Shaoyang County, there are the big cities of Yongzhou and Hengyang Prefecture. Among Jiangzhou County, Yuezhou, Wuling Prefecture, and Jiangzhou City are all rich and prosperous places."
When Xiao Cheng heard this, his eyes moved and he said noncommittally:
"Then what do you think is better?"
When Yang Dayan heard this, he blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and then said:
"Yongzhou has extremely convenient water conservancy and is connected to the southwest. However, there is no danger to defend in the northeast. The soldiers and horses of Yuzhang County of Xia State can march straight in. If this is used as the capital, heavy troops need to be stationed for defense. Moreover, Yongzhou has experienced military chaos, plague, and wars before. The population
There are too many losses, not enough for a capital city!"
"Hengyang Prefecture is dangerous and can be defended, but there are many mountain passes and the roads are not smooth. And like Yongzhou, it has suffered from wars and has a small population."
"Jiangzhou City, uh... By the way, Jiangzhou City suffers from floods every year. Waterlogging is serious in spring and summer, which is not good either."
"Wuling Mansion and Yuezhou are all close to rivers, uh...whatever...it won't work anyway!"
Yang Dayan spoke eloquently at the beginning, but towards the end, he became more and more difficult. In the end, he rolled his eyes and just couldn't think of how to say it.
Yang Dayan's expression became more and more depressed, his voice became lower and lower, and finally he simply shrank his head and smiled at Xiao Chengshan:
"Your Majesty, these were all told to me by Xu Shu, the judge under my command... Hehe, I wanted to show off in front of Your Majesty, but in the end I forgot the rest of the reasons..."
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said:
"I don't know you yet? You didn't know a few words or official documents before. If you are really telling the truth, I still have doubts!"
Yang Dayan smiled awkwardly and defended himself:
"Your Majesty, don't say that. I am different now. Although I dare not say that I know all the words of an official document, I can still understand the meaning of the official document!"
Xiao Cheng had no intention of arguing with Yang Dayan, so he just asked:
"Did Xu Shu ever say, where is the right place?"
Yang Dayan heard the words, nodded and said:
"This minister remembers Jiangling Mansion in Jiangyang County...but I feel that Jiangling Mansion is just a medium-sized city in Jiangyang County. The population is not large, and the place is not rich. It is quite average."
"Jiangling Mansion?"
