"The country's name is Han." Wu Nian replied without thinking.
Of course he knew that many people called him King Yan and King Liaodong in private. Then the country names can of course be designated as Yan Kingdom and Liao Kingdom.
But Wu Nian doesn't like these two words.
Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Yan State competed with South Korea for the last place. The country's strength is too weak, not strong enough, and not worthy of him.
As for the Liao Kingdom.
Wu Nian felt strange.
If he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, he will be named Taizu after his death.
Wouldn’t that make him Wu Nian, the Taizu of the Liao Kingdom?
no.
It's the country's name.
You can choose anything. Since he started his career as Yan Han, why didn't he call himself King of Han?
Immediately, Wu Nian answered one by one: "The queen has appointed Mrs. Liu as her legitimate wife, and the son regards his mother as the most noble. He has appointed my eldest son Wu Yu as the crown prince."
"The official positions and grades of the civil and military officials are based on the state of Chu, with slight modifications."
"The meritorious officials and heroes all have great achievements. Depending on the merit, high or low, they will be given titles, elixirs and iron certificates. They are hereditary."
"Let Liu Zhixing discuss it with the officials. Once it's done, just present it to me for viewing and confirmation."
"But there is one thing. I, Wu Nian, am today where I am today, and Liu Zhixing deserves the most credit."
"As for the capital city." At this point, Wu Nian hesitated, raised his head and asked everyone: "Would it be better to build it in Jiang County? Or should it be built in the capital?"
Cui Wushuang eagerly clasped his fists and replied: "General, I think it is better to establish it in the capital. Palaces, palaces, and yamen are all available here. It will save a lot of time for the imperial court to be established in the capital."
"General Qi. I also think the capital city is good. Goguryeo is located in the rear area. It can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating. It is the foundation of the overlord."
Not to be outdone, Gongsun Sang puffed up his sleeves and said.
"General. I think it is better to stay in Jiang County. The foundation of Liaodong is the people's support." Wang Youxiao thought for a moment and said.
Their opinions were all considered by Wu Nian over and over again but could not make a decision. In short, each has its own advantages.
but. Wu Nian knew that Cui Wushuang's thoughts were not pure. He simply wanted to establish the capital in his hometown.
"Where are you two?" Wu Nian turned his head and looked at Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng.
Zhao Mancheng said: "General, if we make progress, we will establish it in Jiang County. If we defend it, we will establish our capital in the capital."
"I agree with General Zhao. Goguryeo is thousands of miles away, and it is the foundation of the overlord. But it is in a corner. If the capital is built here, people will feel at ease."
"On the contrary. If the capital is established in Jiang County, both civil and military officials will feel the general's determination."
"It will also be convenient to send troops to Huanglong Mansion, Meng Yuan, and Chu Kingdom in the future."
Li Yunchong nodded, cupped his fists and saluted.
Cui Wushuang was a little embarrassed.
Wu Nianxiao glanced at the two of them, nodded and said, "Okay. Let's establish the capital in Jiang County."
Seeing this, Wang Youxiao asked again: "What should we do with the yamen, royal palaces, and palaces in the capital of Goguryeo? How will Jiang County be built?"
"Just change General Fu Han and simply repair it. I'm not very interested in a magnificent palace. Besides, when the Chu capital is conquered in the future, I will naturally move the capital to Chu capital." Wu Nian said. Waving his hands, he said nonchalantly.
"I'll be honest. The royal palace is the face of a country. For example, if barbarians from other countries come to court, they will look down upon us when they see the simplicity of our palace."
Wang Youxiao shook his head and said solemnly.
Wu Nian looked at him and asked with a smile: "Did Liu Zhixing already have a draft?"
"General Shengming." Wang Youxiao clasped his fists again, and then said: "Liu Changshi said. Since the capital is set up in Jiang County, there is no need for Goguryeo's royal palace and palace to exist."
"1. The old ministers of Goguryeo may be thinking about things when they see things, which may cause trouble."
"Two. Keeping the palace requires huge maintenance costs."
"What Mr. Liu means is that we can build another inner city in the north of Jiang County. The Goguryeo Palace should be demolished and the entire city moved there."
"After the palace is demolished, it can also be built in Liaodong. Or the ancestral temple can be built and the ancestral tombs can be repaired."
"By the way, the various government offices can also be relocated as a whole."
Wu Nian couldn't help but feel troubled after listening to Wang Youxiao's words.
In modern times, there is something called an RV, which allows you to live wherever you drive. But moving a palace, palace, or government office is not a matter of moving in an RV.
How much people and material resources will this cost?
But after thinking about it carefully, Wu Nian felt that what Wang Youxiao said made sense.
The palace is the face of the country.
We cannot build a grassroots team and let foreign barbarians laugh at us.
It is good to be diligent and thrifty, but you cannot save money.
"Okay. Everything is in accordance with Liu Zhixing's wishes." Wu Nian nodded after thinking for a long time.
"Yes." Wang Youxiao responded with a meticulous clasped fist.
That's about it. But founding a country is not an easy task, and there are many other side effects.
It must be expanded upon.
Before unfolding, Wu Nian pointed at Cui Wushuang with a smile and said to Wang Youxiao and Gongsun Sang: "This Mr. Cui has a family background. Regarding the matters and etiquette of ascending the throne, I mainly explained Mr. Cui. After returning to Liaodong, , you can discuss it later."
"Yes." Wang Youxiao, Gongsun Sang, and Cui Wushuang responded with their hands raised.
Everyone talked together, time passed quickly, and they had dinner together, but no agreement was reached until late at night. no way. We have to continue talking tomorrow.
Wu Nian asked the guards to send Gongsun Sang and Wang Youxiao to live in Guanyi. Surrounded by everyone, he returned to the harem.
But there are two places to go in the harem.
Queen Mother Li, sisters Eqin and Eniang.
Wu Nian remembered his conversation with Wang Youxiao during the day, and first sent a eunuch to notify Li Jinzhu, and then walked slowly along the road to Li Jinzhu's palace.
Far away. Wu Nian then saw Li Jinzhu dressed up, leading the eunuchs and maids to greet him in front of the palace gate.
Wu Nian smiled and shook his head.
The Queen Mother, who listens to politics behind the curtain, is quite capable of bending and stretching.
Wu Nian came to the palace gate. Li Jinzhu blessed him with a happy face, and said softly: "General, the bath water has been filled. Please allow me to help the general bathe and change clothes."
"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed and stepped into the palace gate. Like a kitten, Li Jinzhu took light steps and caught up to Wu Nian and hugged Wu Nian's arm. After entering the palace, Li Jinzhu immediately gently helped Wu Nian undress and take off his belt. With the help of four palace ladies, he helped Wu Nian take a bath.
But wearing fancy clothes is very inconvenient. She simply took off her clothes herself, leaving only her white underwear, waiting for Wu Nian to take a bath.
"General. There is something." Li Jinzhu said suddenly.
Wu Nian frowned slightly, thinking again as he thought about his conversation with Wang Youxiao.
This woman doesn’t want to interfere in government affairs, does she?
Wu Nian didn't want her to cause trouble, so he made it clear: "If it's a state matter, it's better not to speak."
"It's not a state matter." Li Jinzhu's face turned pale and she shook her head repeatedly.
How dare she mention state affairs? Isn't that asking for death? Because of her fear, she took a few deep breaths and after calming down, she said more cautiously: "I'm happy."
"Huh?!" Wu Nian's eyes widened slightly, and he turned his head to look at Li Jinzhu's flat and slender waist.
