The Three Kingdoms

When Sun Quan entered the city, he looked up and saw that out of ten people, five were from the west, Guishuang people, Anxi people, and Romans everywhere. This has already explained the development of Chang'an City.

This place will become the center of Wu trade.

"I respectfully listen to Your Majesty's instructions!" Speaking of official business, Zhuge Jun quickly changed his attitude to normal and rigorous.

"My first thought was that I used Zhuge Jun in Yongzhou, and I was right!" Sun Quan said with a smile: "The prosperity of Chang'an City today is due to my only credit for using the right people!"

"Your Majesty's praise, I don't dare to be a minister!"

Zhuge Jun shook his head: "Yongzhou's geographical location here is an advantage in itself. Your Majesty has great plans, opened up territories, and successively captured the five western states. The barbarians in the west, in order to get close to the central plains court, trade exchanges are already inevitable. Things, Yongzhou is naturally the biggest benefit, this is not the merit of the minister, the minister dare not pretend to claim it!"

"It's your credit, it's yours!" Sun Quan smiled and said, "I won't forget it, neither will the court, and the cabinet will remember it even more, but if you want to enter the cabinet, I think you have to wait. It’s not that you don’t have the ability and qualifications. One is that you are too young. Now it’s not the troubled times of the past. If you want to rise, you must be stable. The second is willing, I hope you will continue to sit in Yongzhou. The core of the west, I don’t trust others here, only you can personally sit in the town, I can have the confidence!”

"Your Majesty's respect, how dare I not bow down!"

Zhuge Jun's eyes were burning and his voice was loud.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

The fact that Sun Quan values ​​himself so much is his greatest motivation to serve the court.

**************************

(As the end of the year is getting closer, there will be a little more time. I don’t even think about picking up the two-day update. I’m sorry. The next one is the last battle of Zhongmou’s book, and it will end soon. Pick up a good finish, the preparation of the new book has already started, after the previous two failures, Pick up has become more cautious, never open a pit easily!) (To be continued.)

[Chapter 430 of the main text: The Battle of Hadrian's Great Wall]

Time is ticking away and we are entering mid-June.eight??

June is already the midsummer season, the weather is much hotter, a round of scorching sun hangs high in the sky, the sun is shining brightly, the weather in Guanzhong is a bit sultry, and the operation of using ice cubes in the cellar has also begun to cool down in the Jiaofang Palace .

Since arriving in Chang'an City, Sun Quan's life has not been as rushed as in Jinling City, and has become much more comfortable.

He can't rush to the western battlefield right now, he has to wait for a while, until the battle ahead continues to ferment, and when more victories come back one after another, so that the situation of completely stabilizing the government is achieved, He can go to the western battlefield.

The prerequisite for personal conquest must be the stability of the Central Plains.

He couldn't let the backyard catch fire when he personally conquered Rome. If the Central Plains were not stable enough, he would never be able to get out of this land.

So before this period of time, Sun Quan's life naturally became more leisurely.

He started to visit Chang'an.

The scenery of Chang’an City is really good. I can’t say that it’s better than Jinling’s, but it’s different from Jiangdong. Living in Jinling City is old, and I’m tired of seeing everything in Jinling. If you look at Chang’an City again, you will You will feel that this place is much more pleasing to the eye than Jinling City.

Although Sun Quan had been to Chang'an City a few times before, he basically came and went in a hurry, either leading troops to fight, killing like a rainbow, or passing through the border with missions, and he didn't have time to stop to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Now that he has time to stop, he has a more appreciative mood for this Western Han capital.

After several days of private travel in micro-services, Sun Quan not only watched the countless scenery in Chang'an City, but also once again felt the prosperity of Chang'an City which has gradually become a world center from the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

As long as you go out here and walk on the street, you can see one or two Indians, Middle Easterners and even Europeans of later generations, and the so-called Romans in this era are not surprising.

This is a grand event that Jinling does not have.

Although Jinling is also well-connected and has a large population, but because of its geographical location, it is impossible to gather such a grand event.

And in Chang'an City, you will find many caravans from Liaodong, Guandong, Jiangdong and other places, as well as Western caravans from Guishuang's resting place, all choosing to settle here.

After some caravans from the West arrived in Chang'an, they sold the goods they brought from the West, and naturally purchased a batch of goods from the Central Plains to return.

In the Central Plains, not all merchant caravans have the courage to cross the Silk Road.

The development of the Silk Road has invested a lot, but considering the current situation, it is not very developed. Although the safety of this road has been guaranteed with the completion of each post station project, but this road is basically The roads are full of wind and sand, and there are not many caravans who can bravely walk back and forth.

When they didn't have the courage to walk the Silk Road, they wanted to trade with western caravans, so they could only choose Chang'an City, because most of the western caravans stopped in Chang'an City.

So Chang'an City naturally became the center of a transaction between the two parties.

This is also a huge reason why Yongzhou can surpass Wuzhou in business.

In Chang'an City, there are two large bazaars, east and west, filled with countless foreign businessmen, this place is very prosperous and noisy, and amidst the hustle and bustle, you will see scenes of strange scenes.

Some dark races use turbans to hold their hair, and communicate with the Central Plains people in hard Chinese, which is quite interesting.

Some people who don't understand Chinese are using the language of their hometown to point fingers and bargain with the Central Plains people. This is chicken and duck talking.

These businessmen have fully explained one thing. It turns out that even if they do not understand the language, they can communicate, so the primitive tribes can gradually integrate into each nation.

At the same time, these things also fully illustrate one thing. The people in the five western states are now looking forward to the Central Plains, and they are trying to integrate into the Great Wu Dynasty...

This is a good thing.

A good thing Sun Quan should be thankful for.

The five western states are basically the former Guishuang Empire, the Anxi Empire, and dozens of small countries in the Western Regions. In the middle of the war, the hearts of the people are against each other, and it is difficult to stabilize the order, so the court can only slowly plot.

Sun Quan originally thought that it would take at least 20 to 30 years to disintegrate their resistance and gradually regain their popular support.

But seeing the current scene, Sun Quan believed that within ten years at the most, the imperial court could completely regain the hearts of the people in the five western states.

As for the sixth state in the west, Mesopotamia, the relationship here is a bit complicated.

This still needs more effort.

After lingering in Chang'an City for more than ten days, an immature idea that Sun Quan had always had began to become clear.

On this day, the weather was fine, and Sun Quan summoned Zhuge Jun again in Jiaofang Hall.

"Ziheng, Chang'an City has now become a link between Great Wu and the western border, but on the contrary, the geographical location of Jinling City is somewhat insufficient!"

In the Jiaofang Hall, Sun Quan was wearing a brocade robe with dragon patterns, white jade on his waist, and a jade crown on his head. He had a gentle and jade-like temperament, and sat cross-legged on the grand teacher's chair. He took a cup of tea, took a sip, and gently tapped Touching the teacup in his hand, he said thoughtfully, "If I intend to move the capital to Chang'an, what do you think?"

"Relocate the capital?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Jun couldn't help trembling even with his steady state of mind at this moment. He couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the firm expression on Sun Quan's face, and immediately understood that Sun Quan didn't ask him, but thinking about him.

The matter of moving the capital is obviously not Sun Quan's temporary idea.

In the third year of Tianquan, Sun Quan came on a tour to the north. He met him in person and mentioned it once. Jun didn't care either.

But now it seems that the matter of moving the capital may have been considered by Sun Quan for a long time, and he has even made a decision in his heart.

But moving the capital is no small matter.

There are many issues involved here.

It has been more than ten years since Jinling City became the capital of the Great Wu Dynasty. From an insignificant small county town to a powerful city that is the most powerful city in the world, how many people in the court have spent their efforts.
