Hong Kang said: "Move the capital?"
Zhuge Wolong nodded and said: "That's right. Now that the lord has become the lord of Yangzhou, he has taken over the southeast. The previous land of Guobei is just a small county in the corner. To facilitate the center, it is imperative to move the capital."
Pointing to the terrain map, Zhuge Wolong talked loudly.
"And in the land of Yangzhou, Jianye has the Yangtze River's natural moat, where dragons and tigers roost. It is a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River!~"
"The terrain of Jianye is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is surrounded by mountains on two sides and half by water, and there are enough open plains..."
"And his fortune will be favorable."
"Millet from Jiangxi and Huguang floats down the river; millet from western Zhejiang and Wuzhong flows through the canal; millet from Feng and Si floats down the Huaihe River..."
Zhuge Wolong stated the advantages of Jianye eloquently, and he believed that his lord could understand.
At the end, he sighed.
"Actually, choosing Jianye is not the best choice. In my mind, the most suitable place to build a capital is still Shangjing."
Unfortunately, the current strength does not allow it.
Hong Kang thought about what Zhuge Wolong said and said:
"What you said, sir, is for the sake of the country."
Compared with the title "Lingjun", Hong Kang prefers to call him Mr., "Lingjun" seems a bit unfamiliar.
"I leave this matter to you, sir. If you need anything, you can allocate supplies and personnel on your own. There is no need to report to me one by one."
"Thank you, my lord."
Zhuge Wolong bowed and asked: "Lord, what about the relocation of the people...?"
According to his intention, the people from the six counties in northern Guo would naturally be moved to Jianye in large numbers. After all, that was the property that the [Taiping Army] had been operating for many years.
Whether it is the level of loyalty or various technical supplies, it is far superior to other places.
Hong Kang thought for a while and said: "Let's do it on a voluntary basis! Don't force the people."
Zhuge Wolong smiled: "My lord, I plan to use various favorable policies to attract people to settle here."
He believed that with the technology mastered by the various departments under his lord's command, he could give the entire Yangzhou a new look in at most three years!
"Lord, then someone from other areas heard the news and came~?"
The capital city is the political center and the largest military fortress of a power. It is the residence of the supreme ruler of the corresponding country and his family members, ministers, troops, servants and other various service personnel.
Generally speaking, after the capital is established, various nobles, bureaucrats, wealthy businessmen and all kinds of wealthy people will gradually allocate part of their resources to enrich the capital and seek benefits for themselves.
Zhuge Wolong from Hongkang naturally understood these twists and turns.
Hong Kang expressed his attitude directly and said: "Since they have come to Yangzhou, they must act according to our rules."
"I understand."
After Zhuge Wolong left, Hong Kang looked at the map.
He understood the reason why Zhuge Wolong said that if he really chose the capital, Jianye would not be as good as going to Beijing.
In the southeast, whether it is the Northern Expedition or the westward advance, the front will be greatly lengthened, and the supply line will become the biggest problem, including various terrain and terrain analysis, etc.
This argument is certainly not wrong in the ordinary world.
However, this world is a world of gods, Buddhas, demons and ghosts with extraordinary abilities.
What is extraordinary? ?
It is beyond ordinary understanding and imagination. If ordinary worldly principles are applied to extraordinary people, many of them will not be so easy to use.
For example, the so-called supply line is too long. Hong Kang's Qiankun Pearl contains a space that can be stored and released. If he directly goes off to participate in the battlefield, he can bring an elite [Taiping Army] directly to the enemy's internal forces. , to achieve the surprise effect.
However, in this way, the effect of troop training is lost.
After all, Hong Kang's expectation for them is to rely on the self-improvement of the human race to defeat demons and transform into demons, and to stand firm between heaven and earth.
On the other hand, large-scale infrastructure construction also requires time and manpower, not to mention that Hong Kang also promoted the correction of unhealthy tendencies, opened up people's wisdom, learned literature and martial arts, encouraged fertility, and solved hunger and cold...
None of this can be done in one or two days.
Fighting is not that troublesome in comparison.
Besides, with a larger population, there will be more faith and belief in the incense, which will also be beneficial to Shinto practice.
As for the mysterious kingly aura and general trend, Hong Kang is not unclear.
However, when everyone under his rule can have enough food and clothing and can read and write; when he has 500,000 elite soldiers who practice martial arts; when his own Taoism continues to improve...
He didn't believe it. Faced with overwhelming hard power, could the Ying Dynasty make a comeback? !
………………
Zhuge Wolong embarked on construction with great ambition.
For this reason, he also mobilized the tree demon Hashirama in the name of his lord. At the same time, he suggested to Mingzun Dongfang Bubai, hoping that Mrs. Xue could help restrain Wangui.
[Taiping Army] Although they have killed many evil spirits along the way, the number of evil spirits is still large, which naturally requires unified and strengthened management.
After coming to this world for many years, Hong Kang also discovered that there may be a difference in intelligence between the worlds. It is particularly easy for monsters and ghosts to be born here, but their strength is not very high.
Unless it’s a great demon king that lasts for hundreds or thousands of years! ~
For example, the blood python in the previous world, after being trained by everyone, its strength improved rapidly, but it could not transform at all.
Xue Qianxun was overjoyed when she heard Zhuge Wolong call her "Mrs. Snow" and Dongfang Bubai had no objection. However, if she could become "Mrs. Dongfang", that would be what Xue Qianxun looked forward to even more.
"Hmph! I won't be a concubine forever!~"
Xue Qianxun secretly encouraged herself.
"This is an opportunity to eliminate and control the ghosts in Yangzhou. If I do a good job, the master will definitely look at me with admiration...!"
"In this case, I can also help the young master."
After Zhuge Wolong persuaded Xue Qianxun.
He thought to himself: "Someone has taken over the ghosts, but what about the monsters?"
"Originally, there were only a few dozen monsters who returned. Now after occupying Yangzhou, the number of monsters suddenly increased. Moreover, monsters are different from ghosts..."
"As for ghosts, due to problems with ideas, thinking, and persistence, relatively speaking, most of them were humans during their lifetime."
"However, as for monsters, there are many races and different temperaments and habits..."
"It is not impossible to make them live and work in full compliance with the laws and regulations of the human race, but it is difficult to do. We need a suitable candidate..."
Zhuge Wolong pinched his beard and thought.
"Well, it would be best to be a monster yourself, but also know people's affairs..."
My mind searched for monsters under the leadership of the [Taiping Army].
Dryad Hashirama was once a tree demon for thousands of years. Unfortunately, his cultivation was almost ruined by the Lord and the others. Now he just greens the environment and builds wooden houses and so on;
And he has no education. I heard from my lord that he has been guarding a secret book of Buddhism and Taoism for hundreds of years and still doesn’t understand it...
Zhuge Wolong couldn't help but flash the shadow of Pudu Cihang in his mind. Well, from a certain point of view, Pudu Cihang, who was able to cultivate the golden body of Buddha, could be regarded as a scholar among monsters! ~
Xin Shisi Niang is a fox demon who has only been practicing for a hundred years. I heard that the Lord likes her, but unfortunately she is a woman and she is not familiar with human affairs.
Bai Qiulian, a newly surrendered sturgeon spirit, her conditions are worse than that of the fox spirit.
After much thought, Zhuge Wolong didn't have a suitable candidate.
"Alas~! There are few talents and even fewer demons!~"
………………
Yan Chixia has been very busy recently. He was finally persuaded by Zhuge Wolong and joined the [Taiping Army]. However, he did not have to go to the battlefield, but did what he was most familiar with, punishing traitors, eliminating evil, and arresting people.
To this end, Hong Kang also established a department called the "Devil Extermination Department", and asked Yan Chixia to take the lead to target all kinds of evil-doing human beings, demons, ghosts, etc.
Yan Chixia can choose her own manpower.
There is no shortage of salary and rewards, which can include various martial arts secrets, extraordinary skills, and treasures.
Of course, the more precious something is, the more contributions it needs.
This is a good thing. Yan Chixia was still planning her responsibilities and had stayed with Shuxian for more than a year and learned a lot of new things from him.
However, Yan Chixia felt helpless now, because Xia Hojian came to her door again.
"Hmph! Yan Chixia, I have been looking for you for more than a year, and finally I found you."
"Do you know how I spent this year?!"
"Hurry up and draw your sword and fight me!~"
"Clang~!"
Xiahou Jian was the first to unsheath his sword, pointing at Yan Chixia, and the sharp sword energy puffed out at the tip of his sword.
Yan Chixia was originally thinking about where to recruit people, and the officers and soldiers in the [Taiping Army] were naturally out of the question. At this time, Xia Houjian appeared in front of him.
Correct
Yan Chixia's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother Xiahou, you can fight if you want, but you have to agree to one condition."
………………
Zhuge Lingjun inquired about the emperor's intention to move the capital, and said that the construction was good in many ways, and then he said that the king's spirit was dark and it was not the emperor's heavenly capital. The emperor said that outstanding people have brought the spirit of the earth, the tiger and the dragon are better than the present, and the Taiping army is agitated by wind and thunder.
"Taiping Baojuan·Dingdu"
