Ning Fu announced the relocation of the capital in public and also hypocritically asked the officials for their opinions.

Zhang Dun below looked at Ning Fu's smirk, feeling that his hands were itchy, and he wanted to punch Ning Fu in the head.

When the other ministers heard Ning Fu suddenly mentioned that they wanted to move the capital, they were all stunned by the unpreparedness.

However, most of these officials were wise men. After a brief shock, they quickly reacted, and some even thought of the story of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moving the capital to Luoyang.

This made them finally understand that they were fooled by Ning Fu. The other party's purpose from the beginning was to move the capital instead of sending troops to support the Liao Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, Bianliang is prosperous and is located in the Central Plains. There are rich places on both sides. If the capital is moved to Youzhou, this remote place, will it affect the stability of our Great Zhou?"

At this time, a minister finally stood up and said.

If someone proposed to move the capital from Beijing to Kaifeng in later generations, people would probably think that they had a brain problem.

The same is true in this era. Many ministers thought Ning Fu was crazy when he moved his capital from Bianliang City, which had a population of one million to Youzhou, which was close to the border and had a small population.

"Although Youzhou is a little narrower and cannot be compared with Bianliang City, it is located in the northern border, which makes it more convenient for me to command the army. In addition, I want to vigorously develop the navy. Youzhou is not far from the sea, much stronger than Bianliang City."

Ning Fu explained casually, and looked at Zhang Dun while speaking.

Zhang Dun immediately understood, so he took the initiative to stand up and said, "I think this matter is feasible. Although Bianliang is prosperous, it is a place of four battles, and there is no danger to guard around it. In order to ensure the safety of the capital, he had to raise millions of soldiers. If the capital was moved to Youzhou, it would save the loss of the soldiers!"

Seeing that the prime minister Zhang Dun was wearing a pair of pants with Ning Fu, more people also understood that the whole thing was probably planned by Ning Fu and Zhang Dun had long been secretly, and all of them were fooled by the other party.

Thinking of this, many ministers were so angry that their chests were stuffy and they wanted to object when their brains were hot.

But there were also many people calmed down and thought about the difficulties along the way. If they opposed moving the capital, if Ning Fu really ignored their health and took people back immediately, many people would probably die on the road.

Thinking of the above, many ministers who wanted to oppose also quietly retreated.

Of course, there were also a few young people who jumped out to object, but they alone could obviously not affect Ning Fu's decision.

"Since most people do not object, I will regard you as agreeing. Now I announce the abolition of the Beijing title of Daming Prefecture and the change of Youzhou to Beijing!"

Ning Fu immediately announced.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhang Dun was the first to take the lead in performing rituals.

Although many ministers did not object, they did not agree. However, Ning Fu forcibly announced his approval, and they had no choice but to pinch their noses and accept it, so they followed Zhang Dun to salute.

Then Ning Fu announced the news about the capital.

The people of Youzhou City were naturally the first to get the news. When they learned that Youzhou had become the Beijing of the Great Zhou Dynasty and that His Majesty the Emperor would also be permanently stationed in Beijing in the future, the entire Youzhou City was infuriated.

After all, the people are not stupid. They know that after Youzhou is promoted to capital, it will definitely become prosperous. Not to mention anything else, land prices alone will rise, which makes many land residents happy to set off firecrackers.

The officials who came to Youzhou with Ning Fu realized that there was a chance to make a fortune in front of them, and there was no need to worry about illegality, that was to buy land.

You should know that these Beijing officials are usually suffering from the high land prices in Bianliang City. Even the prime minister said that he could not afford the house in Bianliang City, let alone the officials below.

Compared with Bianliang City, the land price in Youzhou is not high, and it can even be said to be very cheap. After all, the area of ​​Youzhou City is not small, but the population is only over 100,000, which is far from the Bianliang City, which is more than one million.

It is precisely because of the vast land and sparsely populated areas that there are a lot of vacant land in Youzhou City. Ning Fu also plans to expand Youzhou City, so the surrounding land will also appreciate.

So the people who reacted seemed to be crazy and started buying land everywhere.

However, people with land in their hands are not stupid. Seeing that the land price in Youzhou is about to rise, they will definitely not take action easily. In this way, the territory of Youzhou is like a rocket, rising rapidly, but you may not be able to buy it if you have money.

Although the officials who accompanied Ning Fu saw the opportunity, they all wanted to buy some land to garrison early, but there were two very realistic problems: one was that they were unwilling to sell, and the other was that they had no money to buy.

After all, these officials accompanied Ning Fu to send troops together, and no one could have laughed money on them, so they could only watch the land prices in Youzhou rise.

Ning Fu didn't care about the chaos in Youzhou City, but was happy to see the land prices in Youzhou City rising, because he was the biggest landlord in Youzhou. Not only in the city, but also in the large areas of fields outside the city had already been divided into the imperial village.

However, Ning Fu did not intend to compete with the officials and the people for this benefit. The reason why he transferred to such land was mainly to win people's hearts.

When the land prices in Youzhou rose to a certain extent, Ning Fu directly announced that he would draw up an area in the east of Youzhou City to allocate it to officials for residential construction. Each official also obtained a different land area according to the grade level.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately received praise from many officials, especially some officials from poor backgrounds. When they were in Bianliang City, they could only rent a house and dreamed of having their own house. Now they can finally get what they want.

In addition to allocating homesteads, Ning Fu also rewarded the fields outside the city to some meritorious ministers.

As soon as these two winning actions occurred, the previous voices of opposing the capital movement disappeared.

Of course, some people have suffered considerable losses due to moving the capital. For example, some people have a lot of real estate and land in Bianliang City. If Bianliang City is no longer a capital city, land prices will definitely drop.

However, these people are a minority after all. Even among the officials, there are not many people who are truly rich to buy industries in the capital. Moreover, they can get news as soon as possible and immediately send someone to inform their families to sell the industries in Bianliang and minimize their losses.

Finally, the news of the capital was moved to Bianliang City, which immediately caused a huge sensation. Then the land prices plummeted, and people with houses and land were in a hurry to sell the land and real estate in their hands.
