Not only Wang Jian had guessed that Xianyang City was going to be rebuilt, but the vixens above the court had also guessed it.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing for them. The reconstruction of Xianyang City means that this magnificent city has become even more magnificent. This reconstruction will definitely not just be a simple construction, but will most likely be directly expanded.
As for the extent of expansion, that is a matter discussed by the elders above and has nothing to do with them.
After the court, people in groups of three or three walked together, talking about the news about the renovation of Xianyang City that had spread all over the sky.
"If you renovate Xianyang City, will we have something like Penglaizhou?" This is about the place of work.
"If Xianyang City needs to be renovated, will we still go to court here?"
"If we don't go to court here, where will we go?"
"With the renovation of Xianyang City, how much expansion do you think His Majesty will want?"
"Haha, the expansion has nothing to do with us anyway. You have to know that household registration in Xianyang City is very rare now."
"In this wave of expansion, I don't know how many people in Guizhou can obtain the household registration in Xianyang City." The household registration system has gradually developed into a very important system in the past few years, and the household registration in Xianyang City has also become very precious. kind of.
Except for those who were born in Xianyang City, it is very difficult for others to obtain a household registration in Xianyang City.
It can even be said to be basically impossible to obtain. Moreover, in recent years, the movement of residents has begun to be restricted. In other words, it no longer matters much whether the movement is restricted or not.
During the first census before, that is, when the census was conducted to wipe out the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, most, even 99%, of Guizhou had already been registered.
Their household registration has been determined. Their children's household registration is naturally determined with them, and this cannot be changed.
It even needs to be passed down from generation to generation, unless in a certain generation, a more amazing person appears and changes his household registration, so that the household registration of future generations can also be changed.
The easiest way is to take these three exams, the previous one and the current one. After passing the exam and entering Xianyang Baijia Palace, you can freely choose whether to change your household registration to Xianyang City; now, those who are admitted to Xianyang University, Research Institute, and those who enter the "official system" of Xianyang City through civil servant selection can change their household registration.
The other methods have not been successful yet. It’s just that in the past two years, the naturalization process for examinations such as literary competitions has been slowly tightened.
The officials discussed the news about Xianyang City, and some people saw some business opportunities and prepared to purchase some mansions in Xianyang City that were closer to Xianyang Palace in advance.
When Xianyang City expands, I'm afraid the prices of these mansions will increase again. This is really bad news.
.........In Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng looked at the map of Xianyang City in front of him with a thoughtful look on his face.
He stood there with his hands behind his back, and his voice didn't sound the slightest change, not even emotional.
"Chen Ke, how much do you think Xianyang City should be expanded?"
"If there are too many, will it waste people and money?" Chen Ke listened to Ying Zheng's words and sighed leisurely in his heart. Even though Ying Zheng had not built Afang Palace at this time, every emperor has a dream in his heart. ah.
It's just that in the past, Ying Zheng had a relatively small appetite and just wanted to build a palace. Now he regards the entire place as his palace.
Speculating on Ying Zheng's intentions, Chen Ke tentatively walked to the Xianyang City Map and the Kanyu Map, and drew slightly on the front with his finger: "Your Majesty, I feel that Xianyang City, as the capital of the Qin Dynasty, must have three characteristics. "
"One, majestic"
"Two, vast"
"Three, according to the heart of the world." He found a more moderate range in his heart, drew a little on the Kanyu map with his finger, and included a large area of land around Xianyang.
This range includes today's Xi'an City. It can be said that the scope of Xianyang has doubled.
Chen Ke didn't know Ying Zheng's inner territorial scope and inner desires, so he could only temporarily choose a middle one - although this number was already exaggerated.
In every dynasty, no country has ever been so big! When Chen Ke said this number, he was complaining in his heart.
But he knows that Ying Zheng's mind or appetite will not be so small. If this number can satisfy Ying Zheng, he will burn high incense.
Ying Zheng's voice remained unchanged, but his expression was obviously a little disappointed: "I very much agree with what you said;"
"Xianyang is the center of the world and the capital of Qin."
"The territory of Great Qin now extends to Beihai Prefecture in the north, Baiyue Land in the south, Penglai Prefecture in the East China Sea, and certain cities in the Western Regions in the west."
"With such a vast, vast and majestic territory, if the capital is too small, wouldn't it be impossible for the people of the world to see the majesty and solemnity of the Qin Dynasty?" Chen Ke's heart trembled, and he understood what Ying Zheng meant.
He immediately said again: "Actually, I feel the same way."
"If it were in the past, the scope just mentioned by Cai Chen would have been more appropriate, but now that the Qin Dynasty is so powerful, if the capital is so small, it will inevitably lose the majesty of our prosperous China." Chen Ke pointed to some of the things on the map. The place was drawn again. This time Chen Ke almost drew the scope of Xianyang City to the vicinity of Hangu Pass!
Of course, dividing the scope of Xianyang City to the vicinity of Hangu Pass does not mean that the city and walls will be built all the way here, it is just a kind of city scope.
Seeing this range, Ying Zheng had a somewhat satisfied smile on his face. He was very satisfied with this scope and said directly: "Very good, such a magnificent capital can now be worthy of the title of the Heart of Great Qin." He looked at Chen Ke with satisfaction: "Now that Xianyang City wants It has been many years since the world was re-expanded and divided, and some of the experiments in Penglaizhou have been relatively smooth. The world can also officially begin to implement the local administrative areas you proposed." Ying Zheng clasped his hands behind his back and walked out. He said with a smile: "Nowadays, Penglaizhou has three levels of institutions, and in most places the highest level is. Although there are many counties, the counties are too big." He sneered: "Some county guards already feel that they are One side is powerful and vaguely wants to collude with local people.”
"It's time to carry out a large-scale combing of the world." This is what Ying Zheng wants to do most in the past two years.
Great Qin has now entered a stage of rapid development, which is very different from the previous Great Qin, but various new systems are actually only implemented in Penglaizhou.
Now that Xianyang City has been renovated, Baiyue has been captured, and Penglaizhou's experiment is going smoothly, this is the best time to promote reforms and implement them throughout the country.
What's even more coincidental is that the First Emperor is now on an eastward tour. The First Emperor traveled around the world, patrolling the territory like a dragon, and naturally he had to be followed by an army. The army followed this soaring dragon to inspect the world. When they encountered injustice or dirt in the place, they naturally had to clean it up. .
This is the perfect time and the best opportunity. Chen Ke did not object. Ying Zheng said happily at this time: "Not just Xianyang, let's expand the scope of Tianhai and Zhongmu as well." He moved his fingers casually, but he drew the other two places and formally shaped these two places. It has become a big city that can almost rival Xianyang City.
Xianyang County and Tianhai County officially became counties in the name of, but on the same level as. Zhongmu, on the other hand, was directly mentioned by the First Emperor.
Moreover, Tianhai and Zhongmu, like Xianyang, became the three counties directly under the central jurisdiction of the imperial court. Call it.
Although the three-legged situation has not yet been completely formed, it has begun to appear impressive at this time. ....... A large number of people from Kuaiji County and Guizhou Province in South Vietnam began to go to South Vietnam and East Vietnam to cut down trees. Even in the winter, they were no longer afraid of the cold winter and cold wind because they saw survival. hope.
And because life is getting better, some people in Guizhou who used to work in winter no longer work this year, but stay at home, going out from time to time to chop firewood, or buy some firewood from people living near East Vietnam and South Vietnam.
The rest of the time, I just rested in bed with my wife in my arms at home. The winter of the fourth year of the First Emperor's reign was more pleasant than the winters of previous years.
In this warm winter, many wives in Guizhou families in Da Qin are pregnant. Not only Kuaiji County, but also the entire Da Qin.
Because although there are no forests in East and Vietnam in other places, their firewood prices are still falling, and no one dares to raise the price of firewood that has dropped due to coal at this time.
The merchants of Great Qin saw the fate of those merchants in Kuaiji County, and also saw the determination of the First Emperor, who was sitting in Zhangtai Palace and overlooking the world, to protect the head of Guizhou.
They looked upon the poor Guizhou leaders like ants, and the aloof First Emperor looked upon them like ants.
Merchants who had restrained their greedy desires not only did not dare to raise the price of firewood this winter, but also gradually began to lower the prices of other livelihood products.
Maintain these prices to a certain extent. At the same time, they tentatively raised the prices of some other items, such as, for example, for example, etc.
To put it simply, except for basic daily necessities, the prices of other items have increased to a certain extent. This move did not attract anyone to judge them. Then, as if they had received some news, the merchants began to slowly raise the prices of goods and supplies, and continued to maintain the prices of general supplies at the previously raised prices. Continue to improve.
No one from the Marketing Administration came to look for them, and no one warned them. These merchants fully understood what the First Emperor meant, that is, if you dare to reach out for some basic necessities for people's livelihood, you will be waiting to die.
At this time, some greedy merchants wanted to tentatively increase the price. Not all merchants have raised the prices of general supplies because the lessons of the past are still in sight.
At first, those greedy merchants were still laughing at the merchants who did not dare to increase prices, but later they no longer had this intention.
Because people from the Market Supervision Administration are here. And the highlight is the first thing. These merchants were fined, and the amount of the fine was no longer a proportional value.
. This huge fine almost made those greedy merchants faint, but they suddenly thought that at least they were not killed or had their homes confiscated like the previous merchants who drove up prices.
Weirdly, they found some comfort. This behavior and its results were not only spread in Kuaiji County, but also spread throughout the world.
All the merchants in Da Qin took this incident and the previous ones as an example to understand Da Qin's tolerance for them, as well as some bottom lines and rules.
For some basic livelihood necessities, if you reach out, you will die. For some general items, which do not involve life-threatening or life-blood-controlling items, the price can be increased appropriately to earn a certain amount of money.
For some rare and luxurious items, the price increase amount has not yet been tested, but it can be seen that the price increase amount is very high, and the court will not pay much attention to it.
This discovery made merchants all over the world happy for a moment. Some short-sighted merchants no longer sell basic necessities for people's livelihood, but only ordinary and luxury items.
But more businessmen, either smart or unable to engage in selling other supplies due to money or capital constraints, began to get closer to people's livelihood supplies just like throwing money away.
They even started selling them at a low price, and at the same time, defined these things as part of their business territory.
Five businessmen even defined it as their family motto, and when they passed away, they even defined it as family rules.
Among them were Zhai Xi and Shentu Xingwu. Not only did the two of them start selling daily necessities with greater efforts, but they also generously donated all the meager profits from selling daily necessities to the local court.
They even contributed people and efforts, but in the end, this so-called trading house selling people's livelihood supplies was donated to the local court, which was Zhongmu County.
The local magistrate who had just been promoted to the rank of county magistrate, or even a comparable former magistrate, was almost speechless in surprise.
But he resolutely accepted this gift, even though he knew that there is no free lunch in the world.
Eat this pancake first! Everything else is trivial.
