Zhu Yuanzhang is back, so naturally he has something to do when he comes back this time.He went to Chang'an before, and originally planned to move the capital to Chang'an, but when he saw it, his heart turned cold!

The current situation in Chang'an is actually quite bad. There is a lot of wind and sand, and the population is not large enough. After several wars, Chang'an City is no longer the Chang'an City where all nations paid tribute.The most important thing is that the land here is not fertile enough. Zhu Yuanzhang is from Fengyang. He has been fed up with the people in his hometown fleeing famine every year since he was a child. Now, it looks like the same place near Chang'an. How can he live in this kind of place? What about the population?

Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to dismiss the idea of ​​moving the capital to Chang'an. After Dadu was captured, someone suggested that he move the capital to Dadu, but Zhu Yuanzhang also had some thoughts in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to come back and discuss with Shu Yun.

Shu Yun said almost reflexively: "Of course it's Dadu!" At that time, Shu Yun was used to the fact that the capital was just to the north, okay?To be honest, although Yingtian can be used as the capital, it is too prosperous and prosperous, and it will wear down ambition after a long time.

Of course, the north also has its disadvantages. For example, the climate is not good enough, it is prone to earthquakes, and there are also sandstorms. However, those can be changed. Shu Yun feels that taking advantage of the present, it is possible to slowly restore vegetation and greening , now that desertification is not so serious, I can still achieve green mountains and green waters in my lifetime.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment: "I thought you would like the south!"

Shu Yun shook his head and said: "I read the history books. Although there are many dynasties that have their capitals in Yingtian, they are always settled in a corner. Even if they had the intention of the Northern Expedition at the beginning, they were slowly worn away. On the grassland, from Di Rong In today's Mongolia, one Hu is destroyed, and a new Hu is born. After all, Yingtian is too far away. If the Hu people have any changes, they can't respond in time! The most important thing is that the reason why the people in the south of the Yangtze River were so focused on the Northern Expedition was because Because it hurts deeply, but what about after decades or hundreds of years?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent when he listened!Shu Yun likes to explain history books to Zhu Biao, and Zhu Yuanzhang also reads a lot of history books. There are many imperial courts in a small corner, but none of them really succeeded in the Northern Expedition.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei State was the most likely to unify the Three Kingdoms. Not only did the Northern Expedition of Shu Kingdom fail, but it almost exhausted its national power.The Eastern Jin Dynasty called for the Northern Expedition for so many years, and there was no movement until the end of the country. Liu Yu’s Northern Expedition also gave up halfway. After living in Jiangdu, the country also perished, let alone the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The last few small countries in the south were the Southern Tang!Let alone mentioning it in the Southern Song Dynasty, it will make people angry.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked. That's right, although the southerners can't be said to be weak, they live too well. They really don't have much courage when they are not threatened.

"Xiuxiu is right. Sure enough, Yingtian's place is not suitable for the capital!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, and felt that Jiangnan is so rich, if he abandons this side, will those treacherous businessmen cause trouble? But think about Zhu Yuanzhang I also feel that I am overthinking, what are I afraid of, whoever dares to make trouble, let them try whether their knives are sharp enough!

Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little reconciled after thinking about it, but in the end he could only comfort himself. Although most of them are the capital of the Tartars, they have been operated for several generations since the Liao people. Here, there will be a lot of construction going on later.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was still thinking about it, and he had to ask Liu Ji later. Liu Ji was quite good at geomantic omen and so on, so he had to ask him where it would be better to locate the imperial capital.

Things like Feng Shui are scientific, and they are quite scientific. It is nothing more than the harmony and unity of architecture and the environment.As for Wang Qi and Dragon Qi, Shu Yun really didn't know.However, Shu Yun thinks that things like the national fortune are actually related to the national strength. If the government is well-organized and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the national fortune will naturally not be bad. If the people are struggling to live, then what good is the good Feng Shui?

Before Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to establish Fengyang as his capital on a whim, Liu Ji dissuaded him. A place like Fengyang has no conditions to establish a capital at all. The place is small, poor, and the population is not large. This kind of place is the capital of the country. , Immediately lowered Daming's grade.

Liu Ji was a Jinshi in the Yuan Dynasty and had served as an official several times. This was actually a stain on him. After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Ji was named a sincere uncle. Of course, this is actually not bad, because Liu Ji didn't have any real combat achievements. He was a strategist before. If he hadn't made several strategies that were quite pertinent and effective, he wouldn't be able to get this position.

In fact, because of the existence of Shu Yun, it was Li Shanchang who was really affected. Li Shanchang was originally positioned as a person like Xiao He in Zhu Yuanzhang. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang relied on Li Shanchang for his foreign wars and sorting out internal affairs. Li Shanchang weaved a huge network, all kinds of relatives, fellow countrymen and so on were placed in different positions by Li Shanchang, and this was his way of death later.

The problem is, compared with Li Shanchang, although Shu Yun was not engaged in business in her previous life, she was engaged in financial investment. Coupled with the knowledge brought about by her higher education and osmosis, her ability to earn money and engage in internal affairs is much better than Li Shanchang up.Therefore, although Li Shanchang has earned the position of a state prince in his life, the weight is too much.

Liu Ji said that he was born in Confucianism. In fact, his views are more inclined to Legalism. When he was an official in the Yuan court, he had too many bad experiences. Not only Mongolian officials, but also those Han officials. All the way, so Liu Ji didn't believe in moral cultivation at all, so Zhu Yuanzhang became king. He suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang establish a legal system and strictly investigate illegal things.

Zhu Yuanzhang still agrees with Liu Ji's suggestion very much. Zhu Yuanzhang himself does not believe in the bottom of his heart that how many officials will have any integrity. , or to monitor the censor.

This guy can be considered a genius, he really knows a lot of things, the most important thing is that he is not the kind of rigid person, he is actually quite good at figuring out what he wants, so Zhu Yuanzhang still thinks highly of him.

In fact, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, as an emperor, has some ideas that are different from before. In the past, everyone was an old brother. We can sit together, drink in big bowls, and eat meat in large pieces. But now, Zhu Yuanzhang There are more things to consider. For example, he needs to gradually let those old guys retreat to the second line and promote new talents!

This is not to cross the river and demolish bridges, but to give both the monarch and his ministers a way out. To put it bluntly, in the past dynasties, some of the great achievements have ended well, and the world is stable. There is room to play, so as not to turn around and point fingers too many times, the emperor will not be happy!

In particular, Zhu Yuanzhang has more people at his disposal, and he can see now, among those old brothers, who were really loyal and who had always been selfish.Zhu Yuanzhang was a bit suspicious at first, especially when there was an incident about Zhu Wenzheng, his own nephew could betray him, let alone other people?So, now, Zhu Yuanzhang has begun to think about how to get a bridle for these heroes who think they have the merits of founding the country from the dragon!However, Liu Ji's suggestion just fit Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

After Zhu Yuanzhang made his plans, he simply called Liu Ji and began to ask Liu Ji about the establishment of the capital: "Liu Aiqing, most of them have fallen, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have also been restored, and the Central Plains have fallen into the hands of our Han family again. What does Ai Qing think of the foundation of our Han family that can be re-established just by eradicating Remnant Yuan?"

Liu Ji quickly boasted: "Your Majesty raised the three-foot sword, and in just 11 years, he was able to expel the Tartars and restore the Han family. This is indeed the destiny!" It is a miracle to get to this point.It can be said that in the past dynasties, the righteousness of the country has never surpassed Zhu Yuanzhang. It is really full of some coincidence and destiny. Because of the shock, on the one hand, he really loves the people like a son, and on the other hand, his rise makes people really believe that he is the real son of heaven.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud of this, and he also felt that he was quite awesome. However, he still remembered the business of finding Liu Ji, and simply said: "Liu Aiqing is good at geomantic omen and calculus. Now that the country has just been founded, I am a little uncertain about the establishment of the capital for a while!" Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to bring a map, and several places were delineated on it, Yingtian, Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Dadu .

At the beginning, Liu Ji was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would have a sudden whim and wanted Fengyang to be the capital. To be honest, it would be too bad for Fengshui to be an imperial mausoleum there, let alone a capital!Seeing the delineated place on the map now, Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

The places on the map are all the capitals of previous dynasties. Liu Ji is also a person who has passed the Jinshi examination and traveled around. He has been to many places. Now he pondered for a while, and finally said: " I think Luoyang and Dadu are more appropriate!"

Luoyang is indeed a good place. It is the hinterland of the Central Plains, surrounded by mountains and rivers, not to mention the prosperity of the economy. There are several passes in the surrounding area. If foreign enemies invade, there is enough room for buffering.At that time, Zhao Guangyi said that the country is in virtue but not in danger, and prevented Zhao Kuangyin from moving the capital to Luoyang. In the end, Zhao Guangyi's descendants stayed in Kaifeng, a place surrounded by plains and always flooded by Bian water, but they faced the Jinren cavalry directly. It ended badly.If the capital is established in Luoyang, even if the emperor is relatively useless, he can support it for a few more years thanks to the favorable location.

As for Dadu, Liu Ji is not optimistic about it. The same sentence is the same, the establishment of Dadu is a barbarian regime. Although in Liu Ji's opinion, there is indeed a dragon spirit there, but Liu Ji always feels that there is something wrong in his heart. don't go.Of course, Liu Ji still talked about the advantages of Dadu, and did not deliberately derogate.You know, compared to the Han people, the Hu people actually believed in God's will more. They had to do divination and ask gods for everything.

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Liu Ji's words, he waved his hand to make Liu Ji step back, and bowed his head to ponder.
