Chang'an?

Hearing this name, Zhu Ying's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, no one likes the name Chang'an more than Zhu Ying, but he has temporarily forgotten about the name change.

If the capital is moved, it must be changed back.

Although Chang'an and Xi'an are the same place, the glory and sense of history brought by these names are completely different.

"The name Chang'an is good. The dynasty that has always had its capital in Chang'an has always been relatively powerful. This will definitely be the case in the future of our Ming Dynasty."

"Grandpa wants to complete the capital relocation within the next two years."

Zhuying asked with a smile.

The old man came here specifically to talk about the name change, so naturally he wanted to move the capital as soon as possible.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about Hu, and said: "Yes, now the grandson on the grassland has begun to take action. The distance here in Nanjing is too far, which is not conducive to controlling the entire north."

"If we move Kyoto there, it will have a better impact on reviving the economy of the north, and it will also be easier to start with the entire Ming Dynasty."

"Guanzhong is originally the land of dragon heart. It would be more convenient to move the capital earlier."

Moving the capital is not something you can just say.

There are a lot of changes in interests involved here.

The palace is fine. Once it is determined, the first step is to repair and transform the palace in Chang'an City.

And for the entire Chang'an City, all the changes in the pattern are an important reflection.

You must know that the current Chang'an City, even if it is not as prosperous as Nanjing City, is full of people living in every household.

The civil and military officials here in Nanjing naturally wanted to follow.

Behind these civil and military officials were a large group of family members.

Not only the civil servants and generals, but also a large number of capital guards will also be relocated.

Their residences and the like are also extremely huge.

Including various yamen, there are still a large number of Nanjing people, not to mention millions, there must be hundreds of thousands of people migrating.

Moving the capital may seem simple, but it is actually a very huge project.

Once there is any mistake, it may cause the entire Ming Dynasty to tremble.

As the economic center and political center change, the large and small interest groups linked to Kyoto will also change.

"Grandpa, no one else knows about the move of the capital to Chang'an yet."

"My grandson wants the Chamber of Commerce to go there first and buy enough land and houses in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. This way the impact on people's livelihood will be much smaller."

"Grandpa, let's see how it goes."

Zhuying said.

Forced conscription and relocation would also be extremely easy for the people of Chang'an to cause civil unrest.

Moreover, there are many long-established noble families in Chang'an. Although the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms after the prosperous Tang Dynasty have been almost destroyed, some local families are still passed down.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous dynasty ever.

The situation of all nations coming to court is unimaginable in all dynasties.

It's a pity that in the end it was destroyed due to the separatist rule of feudal towns.

However, the name of Chang'an is not only found in the Central Plains of China, but even on the most distant shore, there is also the legend of Chang'an. ….

Including Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang, they also strongly agreed with the Tang Dynasty.

In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, there was even more corruption among officials. In the end, the golden book and iron scroll given during the Tang Dynasty, which was similar to the gold medal for immunity from death, was recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Not only did he save the lives of his corrupt officials, but he also returned all the confiscated property and even left his official position untouched.

Of course, after experiencing such an incident, it was no longer possible for the official to have any thoughts of corruption. As the only person who could survive after the corruption was discovered in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, he had already used up all his luck. .

Of course, the golden book and iron scroll also came to the palace.

After all, this thing is enough to save your life once, how can it save you twice?

If it is committed again, even if it is not corruption but other crimes, it will be a crime of great disrespect, and it will be the fate of the Yi clan at the least.

Chang'an, Chang'an.

That's a really desirable place.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Da Sun's suggestion, nodded slightly and said: "This is a good idea. With so many personnel arrangements, it is really not a simple matter."

"Especially for the people in Chang'an, honorable people and others, remember to make proper arrangements and not inflame the people's sentiments."

"When Da Sun was building Zhengyang Avenue, the compensation was very good. It did not let the people lose and allowed the construction to proceed normally."

"We think Chang'an should do the same thing."

Zhuying nodded.

This amount of money may seem like a huge amount, but in fact, it can be repaid very quickly in the future.

Today's chamber of commerce is different from the chamber of commerce in the past. It is almost the same concept as internal funds.

Even if you don't have enough liquid banknotes, you can temporarily find a banknote banker to borrow money.

This is not about borrowing without repaying, but that the principal and interest must be returned to the bank within a specified period of time.

Of course, this kind of return is not a return of treasures, but a return of real money and silver to fill the reserve fund.

In this way, there will be no inflation problem.

Now for the entire Ming Dynasty, because of Zhu Ying's participation, although the reserves in the treasury have not yet caught up with the issued treasure banknotes, their credibility has been continuously improved.

[In view of the general environment, with the development of sea trade, Ming's credit system will definitely have a certain impact on neighboring countries. This will give Ming's treasure banknotes a sufficient foundation to go global.

Zhu Ying really looked forward to whether he could possibly create the World Bank.

By that time, Ming Dynasty will be the dominant player in the world-class economic system. Just think about how huge the interests that will exist here will be.

For this alone, the whole world will have to pay for Daming's losses.

Even if future generations are absurd, it is enough to protect the absurd for too many years.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ying discussed with the old man about borrowing money from Bao Chao Ti Ji Si.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "At this time, Dasun, you can just go ahead and do it."

"Back then, we had to print tens of millions of treasure banknotes and send them out every year. This treasure banknote almost turned into waste paper. Now it's thanks to my grandson to bring it back."….

"It can be said that we have made up for the shortfall that we have had for so many years."

"The grandson can make his own decision on this matter from now on. There is no need to explain it to us."

Zhu Yuanzhang is actually not a generous person.

He has been afraid of poverty since he was a child, and he attaches great importance to money.

But here, the grandfather loves his grandson the most. Even if he is reluctant to use it, as long as it is for his grandson, it doesn't matter how much it is.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang now understands the concept of reserves, in fact, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, this treasure banknote collection department belongs to his own family. He can print it however he wants, but that's not how he prints it.

As long as it doesn't go too far, it doesn't matter.

When Zhu Ying heard this, his eyes flashed.

Of course he understood what the old man meant.

But such behavior will put the treasure money completely in the hands of the emperor. He naturally understands this, and it doesn't matter much.

But his own son, his son’s son.

Will you understand this by then?

Once you are greedy for treasure money, or you are greedy for pleasure and squander it wantonly.

Even the Ming Dynasty can withstand several generations.

Money, sometimes it doesn't matter, but sometimes it counts.

If a country runs out of money, there will inevitably be great fluctuations.

Money is not everything, but whether it is a country or an individual family,

Money can solve almost 80% of all problems.

From now on, there will inevitably be restrictions on power and imperial authority on the promotion of treasures and banknotes.

These are a bit early now. We will consider the institutional issues here after the Ming Dynasty Bank or even the Ming World Bank is established.

"Grandpa, regarding the name change to Chang'an, do you want to postpone it for a while?"

"If it is proposed at today's court meeting, it will definitely have a certain impact on all aspects of land prices in Chang'an City today."

Zhu Ying thought about it and suggested.

This is a very key reason. Once it is decided to move the capital to Chang'an, businessmen who want to make profits will inevitably take the opportunity to go to Chang'an to buy houses and land.

Then just sit back and wait for appreciation.

At that time, the financial fluctuations involved will be very different.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned slightly and did not answer immediately.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang already wanted to finalize the matter of changing the name to Chang'an and moving the capital directly, instead of delaying it.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a way to deal with it.

Said: "We can't delay moving the capital. Besides, before we move the capital, we need to repair and transform the entire city of Chang'an."

"The time here is definitely not too short. Even if it can be completed within this year, it is considered very good."

"Even if it's suppressed, it won't last long."

"Do you think so, Grandson? I will issue an edict to order all the shops in Chang'an City to stop buying and selling individual houses, land, and properties from now on."

"When you go to make compensation, Dasun, you will probably just follow the standards of the capital."

"Let those female businessmen who want to make profits in this business stop thinking about it. If they dare to cause trouble secretly, they will be punished as guilty."...

Hearing this, Zhu Ying's mouth opened but no words came out.

It turns out that the emperor's power can also directly intervene forcefully like this.

Youdao is a golden word. The emperor's edict can almost be said to be on the same level as the law.

No, from a level perspective, it is completely above the law.

"Grandpa, this method is very good."

Zhuying gave a thumbs up.

I have to admit that although this method is a bit rough, the effect achieved is excellent.

There is no need to worry about the problems in Chang'an City by then.

Even if there are some young people who dare to go against the trend, it can hardly be said to have an impact on the overall situation.

After the grandfather and grandson discussed the matter of moving the capital, Zhu Ying began to issue orders and make arrangements for the craftsmen.

In the craftsman industry, not everyone can repair the palace.

Those who can repair the palace are definitely the best in the entire craftsman industry.

Early morning the next day.

Zhu Yuanzhang directly announced the decision to change Xi'an's name to Chang'an at the court meeting.

At the same time, Chang'an City was established as the new Kyoto.

In this year, a new plan and transformation will be carried out for the entire Chang'an City.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.

No matter how much we talk to each other, we will never say who will stand up to oppose the relocation of the capital.

After all, this is not the first time that the issue of moving the capital has been raised. It has been raised repeatedly for many years.

Prince Zhu Biao also visited Xi'an before.

But now it is no longer a new capital, but a renovation and expansion of the original Chang'an City. Naturally, the cost is not very huge.

In just a moment, many people had new ideas in their minds.

They want to spread the news to their clan and take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

This kind of thing is a hugely profitable business.

Even though the ministers in the imperial court usually don't seem to have much money,

It is the clan behind them, but it will make a lot of profits for this.

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang was so vigorous in fighting corruption and gave such a small salary, but there was still an endless stream of people who were quite high-ranking officials.

There is nothing about power that is not related to money.

Which clan has a clan member in a high position, then this clan must be an extremely powerful clan in the local area.

For many ministers, retirement is not a problem at all after they retire.

Food, clothing, and supplies, as long as you return to the clan, you will not be short of anything.

The clan also treated these officials with utmost respect and respect, and there was no chance of them saying anything like a white-eyed wolf.

After all, they are all clan elders at the end of the day, and they also have to support the younger generations and so on.

Therefore, these ministers of the imperial court seem to be honest officials, but in this world where official power is paramount, even if they don't speak, there are many invisible benefits.

In history, there are indeed some officials who lived in poverty after serving in office, but you must know that they are an exception, an extremely small number of cases.

Returning to the clan is the real normalcy.

Since ancient times, the imperial court has moved its capital in order to have a large number of people become rich, and among them are often the clans behind the courtiers.

So now most of the courtiers in Fengtian Palace are looking forward to going to court soon.

Unfortunately, they made a mistake.

Zhu Yuanzhang's next words completely defeated their thoughts.

"In order to avoid the appearance of speculative and despicable female businessmen in Chang'an City, they took this opportunity to resell houses and purchase land, causing great disruption to people's livelihood, and even affecting the imperial court's own money."

"So after thinking about it for a while, we decided to issue an edict to Chang'an City."

"From now on, all restaurants in Chang'an City are ordered to be sealed off. All houses and properties are prohibited."

"If anyone is found to be using means secretly, he will be severely punished."

"If you find one person, you will punish one person; if you find a hundred people, you will punish a hundred people!"

There was a bit of coldness in Zhu Yuanzhang's words, which was a warning to the courtiers.

But it was obvious that wealth and honor were found in danger, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to completely resolve the matter with an edict and a few words.

But as long as the name is there, many things will be easier to do.

By that time, there might be a lot of extra income for the court. .
