Chapter 1806 Move the capital to Chang'an
The Roman affairs were originally planned to be resolved in three years, but it was delayed for five years for various reasons and not over yet. Cao Ang's patience was exhausted and he did not want to delay it for a moment. He was preparing to take advantage of the opportunity of the new pope to take office and make great reforms to completely eliminate them in Hexi, and he did not even give them the opportunity to withdraw from Yumen Pass.
Moreover, this opportunity was excellent. Marilyna's radical behavior completely forced the great nobles of Wuwei to the corner. The Wei army did not need to send much troops at all. As long as they were in the middle and reconciled, they would be a big plan. Even if they knew they were used, they would have to take the initiative to jump into the fire pit.
The snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman gains profit. This kind of thing is so exciting.
While sending people to contact Zhuge Liang and the great nobles of Wuwei, a messenger rushed out of the barracks and rushed to Chang'an quickly. Leowell was killed and Marilyna took office. How could such a major political incident not be reported to the court?
Xu Du.
While the Han King went to sea, the capital was moved to the capital. The Grand Tutor Dong Zhao had already rushed to Chang'an to preside over the work there.
Moving the capital is not a commoner's house, there are too many things to deal with. Not to mention anything else, the relocation of Beijing-Yindao is a huge project. In addition, the library, exchange, bank, hospital, major yamen of the three provinces and six ministries, and the five military governor's offices can be imagined. The amount of the project started. The officials in the court were busy and the train from Xudu to Chang'an was not stopped day and night.
After working hard for more than a month, I finally moved almost all the time. Cao Cao ignored the rest of the finishing work and took his concubines and his family to board the train to Chang'an.
In the carriage, Cao Cao sat with the concubines and chatted. Cao Tong and Cao Hui were waiting for the children, and they stuck their heads out the window, feeling the wind blowing towards them, and yelling excitedly at the endless fields. They were all going far away for the first time, and the excitement in their hearts was far beyond the same as Cao Cao and other old people.
Cao Cao was annoyed by the quarrel and said helplessly: "Tongtong, you little bastards are quieter, you are still far from Chang'an."
There are so many little bastards, why just click my name?
Cao Tong pouted unhappily, and soon burst into tears and laughed. He ran to Cao Cao and squatted down, held his arm and acted coquettishly, "Grandpa, what does Chang'an look like? I heard they say it is much bigger than Xu Du."
Cao Cao pinched her nose indulged in love and said, "Of course, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan have been the foundation of the emperor since ancient times, and the Qin and Han dynasties have achieved their imperial careers because of this. Chang'an is a place where the Great Er thieves dream of going back. Although it is not the place where the Great Wei dragon is, with Chang'an, the foundation of the Great Wei can be passed down for generations. More importantly, the new Chang'an City was built by your father. It is very brilliant. If the migration of Chang'an is Chang'an to destroy Rome, and then defeat the Great Er thieves to unify the world, your grandfather's mission in this life will be completed, and the rest will be your father and your brother."
Cao Tong didn't care about the war, but just thought about what fun things were in Chang'an. Hearing this, he complimented: "Of course, grandpa is the most powerful, my father is the second most powerful, I can't wait to see the city walls of Chang'an."
What is the second most powerful child?
Cao Cao was speechless and smiled: "Don't worry, you will live in Chang'an Palace tonight."
The train was unblocked and arrived in Chang'an on time at 11:00 pm.
The emperor came in person, and the lights were naturally bright in Chang'an City. The Grand Tutor Dong Zhao took Chang'an officials to wait at the station early, and after receiving the news, he hurried to the platform.
The train stopped and the door opened. Cao Cao took the lead and walked off, with concubines and children following closely behind.
"I will bow to Your Majesty and the Empress."
Dong Zhao led all officials to salute, and then said, "The palace has been cleaned up, and Your Majesty can move in at any time."
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Then let's go, it's midnight."
The officials of the Great Wei Dynasty were not night owls like Cao Ang. They usually rest at eight or nine o'clock. At this time, they were all tired and had a fight with eyelids. In this case, who would have the heart to chat? The king and his minister walked out of the station silently and took a vehicle that had been prepared to rush to Chang'an.
When he returned to the palace in the middle of the night, security was the top priority. No one wanted Cao Xian to be robbed again. On the way back to the city, soldiers holding torches were everywhere, with three steps, one stairs and five steps, with extremely strict defense. When he entered the city gate, the torches in the soldiers turned into street lights. The convoy quickly rushed to the palace along the wall of soldiers, choosing their respective palaces to move in, and Dong Zhao took the officials back to the house to rest.
To be honest, it was speechless to pick up people in the middle of the night, but the train arrived at this point, what could I do?
No words all night.
As soon as the sky was dawn in the morning, all the officials rushed to the palace to attend the first court meeting in Chang'an. It was too early to come and the palace gate had not opened yet, so everyone could only chat outside the door and wait.
Xiahou Dun, who came with Cao Cao yesterday, looked at the magnificent palace gate and sighed: "Only a few years have passed, there is no familiar shadow in Chang'an City. It's really a change of things and people."
The last time he went to Chang'an was ten years ago. Not only did he attack Chang'an with Cao Cao that year, he even cut off his leg by Li Jue. Since then, he has been in charge of Xu Du guarding the rear. This is the first time he has come since Chang'an recovered.
Cao Hong smiled wryly and said, "No, it's not easy to live in the capital. The governor's office in Chang'an is much bigger than Xu Du's. It costs a lot to buy things back. Alas..." Xiahou Dun's smile froze on his face on the spot, and he felt ache.
The mansions and furniture of these important officials were all provided by the court, and they did not cost money, but they had to buy them all by themselves, including pen, ink, paper, inkstone, food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Although Xiahou Dun was rewarded by Cao Cao with many stock stores and alleviated the economic pressure, he used all the money to comfort the dead family and open schools for the dead family and children. There was not much money left in his hands. For him, spending money was more painful than being injured on the battlefield.
In contrast, the Grand Tutor Dong Zhao was smarter and led the Yongzhou Governor Pang Tong and asked: "Governor Pang, what are the prices in Chang'an recently? Are there any shops with high prices and high volumes to introduce to you?"
Upon hearing this, all the officials surrounded Pang Tong. The ugly face of Governor Pang now looked particularly friendly.
Pang Tong was still the governor, but now Chang'an has become the capital, and his political status is incomparable to the past. His value as the governor naturally rose with the rise. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, sir, Chang'an's prices are still very cheap now, but one thing needs to be paid attention to is that when buying things, you have to put a bright spot. There are too many fakes. Many factories are founded for the Romans, you know."
All officials: "..." They have seen all the things sold to the Romans. The workmanship and quality are really terrible.
Dong Zhao frowned and said, "How can the things sold to the Romans flow into the Great Wei market?"
The Ministry of Industry has a quality supervision bureau, and the quality of the product is monitored.
Pang Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Tao Fu, although some things are of poor quality, they are cheap. People don't look at the quality of things when buying them."
Dong Zhao: "..." That's right. The Wei Dynasty is not as rich as the quality. Many people are still struggling with food and clothing. They don't care about the grade of daily necessities. It's enough to use them.
