Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 129 Ideal
"Prime Minister, after I spread the news these days, I have been observing the situation of officials in Youzhou."

Cao Ren said to Cao Cao: "I heard that the prime minister is going to make Youzhou the capital. Most of the officials in Youzhou are very happy and looking forward to it."

"I asked you to inquire about Li Bai and Mr. Ruixiang, governor of Youzhou, what did they say?" Cao Cao continued to ask.

The people in power in Youzhou are undoubtedly Li Bai, the governor of Youzhou, and Mr. Ruixiang, Li Bai's teacher.

"I asked insincerely. They have no objection to moving the capital to Youzhou. Mr. Ruixiang even welcomes the prime minister to move the capital to Youzhou."

Cao Ren said: "However, many officials have expressed their opposition to moving the capital to Youzhou in the past few days. If the prime minister decides to move the capital to Youzhou, he should make a decision early, otherwise I may have long nights and dreams."

"Who are those people who object?" Cao Cao asked casually.

"Most of the people who opposed moving the capital were civil servants, and no one among the generals seemed to have any objections," Cao Ren said.

"I see, you go down, I will reconsider this matter." Cao Cao waved his hand and said.

After Cao Ren left, Cao Cao continued to ponder.

Whether or not to move the capital to Youzhou is a difficult question to decide.

Although Youzhou is powerful and rich, the location of Youzhou is indeed too remote.

In general, when a country sets its capital, it is necessary to choose a location in the center of the country to facilitate the rule of the imperial court.

"Go and ask Mr. Ruixiang to come over."

Cao Cao decided to have a chat with Zhang Qingfeng.

"I have seen the Prime Minister."

Soon, Zhang Qingfeng saw Cao Cao.

"Sir, I invited you here, and I want to discuss something with you." Cao Cao said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"What does the Prime Minister want to discuss with me?" Zhang Qingfeng asked Cao Cao.

"It's about moving the capital to Youzhou. What do you think about this?" Cao Cao asked Zhang Qingfeng.

Hearing Cao Cao's question, Zhang Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "I don't know if the prime minister wants to hear the truth or lies?"

"Oh? How about the truth? How about the lie?" Cao Cao continued to ask.

"To be honest, I don't want the Prime Minister to move the capital to Youzhou, because Youzhou's location is inappropriate." Zhang Qingfeng said.

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed.

"Then I don't know where the master thinks it is suitable?" Cao Cao asked.

"Moling City." Zhang Qingfeng said three words.

"Eh." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Cao Cao was stunned at first, and then burst out laughing. "Hahaha, sir, you are really joking. Moling City is Sun Quan's territory. I really thought about it, but Sun Quan didn't agree."

"Prime Minister, I mean that after the prime minister unifies the whole country, Moling City is suitable for the capital." Zhang Qingfeng said: "However, when the whole country is not unified, it is not impossible to make the capital Youzhou."

"Why is it appropriate to make Moling the capital after unifying the whole country?" Cao Cao asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"Because moling is the capital, it is more conducive to the development of the country."

Zhang Qingfeng said: "In the future, with the development of navigation technology, we, the Han Dynasty, will definitely expand our territory overseas, and Moling City, the capital of the Yangtze River waterway, is undoubtedly the best."

"Overseas? Why do you want to expand overseas?" Cao Cao was very puzzled.

People of his age were limited in their thinking on land, and could not imagine the overseas world at all.

"Prime Minister, I once said that the earth we live in is actually a huge ball, and there are many oceans and lands on this ball.

"On some continents, there are many countries like me."

Zhang Qingfeng said: "With the development of the times, if we don't find a way to expand overseas and wait for people from other countries to develop, they will definitely occupy the entire world. By then, we Han people will only have a palm-sized territory to survive."

While speaking, Zhang Qingfeng even gestured with his hand, and he stretched out his right hand to pinch his fingertips.

He said to Cao Cao: "Let me make an analogy. If the whole world is as big as a palm, then my big man is as small as a finger on the palm. Think about it, Prime Minister, if the entire palm is occupied by outsiders, and we Han people But the land is only the size of a finger, will future generations poke our spines?"

"This..." Cao Cao didn't expect Zhang Qingfeng to drag the topic so far.

"Prime Minister, I know your ideal."

Zhang Qingfeng continued to talk eloquently, and now he actually talked about ideals.

"I know that the prime minister's ideal is to make great achievements, unify the country, and become a figure like Qin Shihuang and Han Gaozu Liu Bang." Zhang Qingfeng said.

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Cao Cao couldn't sit still immediately, his face turned red.

"Sir, please don't talk nonsense. I don't have such great ambitions." Cao Cao said while suppressing his anger.

Zhang Qingfeng ruthlessly pierced the hidden longing in his heart, which made him embarrassing.

These years, Cao Cao has been pretending to be a loyal minister of the imperial court. Although many people know that he wants to replace the Han Dynasty, at least no one dares to expose this matter in front of Cao Cao.

If Zhang Qingfeng was an ordinary person, Cao Cao would probably be dragged down and beheaded now.

"The prime minister doesn't need to explain. With the prime minister's ability, it will be a matter of time to unify China and become a figure like Han Gaozu." Zhang Qingfeng continued to sprinkle salt on Cao Cao's wound.

Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Zhang Qingfeng immediately asked, "Does the prime minister know what my ideal is?"

"I don't know what Mr.'s ideal is?" Cao Cao asked with a smile on his face.

"My ideal is to assist the prime minister to unify the country, and then develop agriculture, technology, etc., so that the people of the world can have enough food, breed more people, and then go to occupy territories on all continents of the world."

Zhang Qingfeng said: "I hope that in hundreds or even thousands of years, my people will occupy the entire world."

"Mister's ideal is really great, Meng De is ashamed of himself." Cao Cao said expressionlessly.

"Prime Minister, since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the territory of our Han people has expanded from a large territory in the Central Plains to such a huge empire now. It looks very powerful, but what I want to say is that in our west, there are also many people who are bigger than the Han people." A more powerful country is constantly expanding its territory."

Zhang Qingfeng said: "As far as I know, thousands of miles away to the west of us, there is a country called the Roman Empire. It is very powerful. Its territory is larger than my big man, and its population is larger than my big man's."

"In addition to this, there are countries on the Indian Peninsula, countries on the Arabian Peninsula, European countries, and so on. They are all developing and expanding their territory. If they develop and occupy most of the world's territory, I will The Han people are passive."

Zhang Qingfeng just said something serious, and gave Cao Cao the illusion that if he didn't take action, the earth would be divided up by others.

"Sir, how do you know this?" Cao Cao asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"My teacher, my teacher's teacher, and several generations of teachers have all traveled to many western countries, so they naturally know about it." Zhang Qingfeng said.

Cao Cao had a headache. He hadn't unified the country yet, but Zhang Qingfeng was thinking of carving up the world.

Cao Cao was about to return to the topic: "Sir, do you think it is feasible to move the capital to Youzhou?"
