www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!
The snow in Guanyun City is still heavy.
The lives of the people in Guanyun City are still the same.
About Daxia Emperor Fu Xiaoguan’s Northern Expedition has now been spread through Daxia Weekly.
The Northern Expedition was a great victory, and the country called the Peacock Kingdom was destroyed by His Majesty!
Of course the people of Daxia are happy. This is a great thing that their great Majesty has done for the long-term peace and stability of Daxia!
Marine Corps Commander He Sandao was posthumously named Xiaoyongbo by His Majesty, and Marine Corps Chief of Staff Tang Qianjun was posthumously named Wu Anbo.
For all the soldiers who died in the Peacock Kingdom during this expedition, His Majesty ordered the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of War to jointly issue a large pension. This is Your Majesty's recognition of their sacrifice for the country!
The war is far away from these people. They do not know the cruelty of the war, and they are unable to empathize with the sad atmosphere of separation and death. Now that the New Year is very close, they are excitedly talking about the great power of Daxia At the same time, I was also happily buying things needed for the New Year.
Nowadays, the products in Guanyun City are becoming more and more abundant. As for food, pork has already entered the homes of ordinary people. Even beef, an animal that was strictly restricted in the past, has now become a Food on people's tables.
And this year there are more new foods, they are all kinds of fish, shrimp and seafood from the Far North Road!
The routes between Far North Road and Jiangcheng are very busy. There is a kind of ship specially transporting this seafood. I heard that the ship is loaded with ice. The seafood is buried in the ice and frozen. Although it is dead, the taste is still there. Considered fresh.
I heard that seafood is now sold to various places in Daxia through the Yangtze River and Yellow River waterways.
All of this was brought to them by His Majesty.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, it only took him six years to create this prosperous world of Great Xia. So what will Great Xia look like after Your Majesty completes the next five-year plan?
The people throughout Daxia are looking forward to it. They firmly believe that Daxia will get better and better, and they firmly believe that their lives will also get better and better.
……
……
Guanyuncheng Palace, Xuande Hall.
A long-lost imperial meeting is being held here.
Fu Xiaoguan, three prime ministers, and six ministers stood under the stage. He was currently summarizing the first year of Daxia's second five-year plan.
"...In this first year, because of the Northern Expedition, I was not in the palace."
"But in the past few days since I came back, I have read the annual reports of each department in detail. Under the leadership of the three prime ministers and the six ministers, you have done a good job!"
"In the second year of Daxia, the grain output of Daxia increased by a full 40% compared with last year! This is an amazing achievement, which means that Daxia has transformed from a food-deficient country to a large food country. , and Bactria’s food has begun to be exported to surrounding countries, and has even been sold as far away as the Lia continent. ”
"The common people's food problem has been solved, and the problem of clothing... This year's cotton production has also increased by 30% compared with last year. A report from the Ministry of Commerce said that because of the increase in cotton production, and because of the large number of textile workshops using With the new steam engine technology, the price of fabrics on the market has dropped by 30% compared with the same period last year.”
"This is also a good thing. People can spend much less on clothing, and they can save more money, and their disposable income can be greatly increased."
Fu Xiaoguan spoke eloquently. He started from people's livelihood and talked about education, medical care, elderly care, science and so on.
Today's great meeting is not just officials from Guanyun City, they also have representatives from all over the country, such as Yan Shidao from Jinling City, Fan Tianning from Changjin City, and Qin Mowen from Chang'an City. , Yan Beixi of Tailin City, etc.
There is also a group of special characters on the left side of the Xuande Hall. They are kings or envoys from various countries.
Among them is the king of Loulan Kingdom and the former eldest prince of Loulan Kingdom, An Yue. In addition, there are the old emperor Doha and his son Anduo who came from the continent of Leah, etc.
During this year, the language and characters of Daxia were transported to all countries that have established diplomatic relations, and Daxia language has become the lingua franca of these countries.
They were also listening carefully, because these words of the Emperor of Great Xia were the information they wanted to know——
What is the next commercial deployment of Daxia?
What about Daxia’s policies towards its many vassal states?
How fast is Daxia moving forward? As a vassal country, how can we keep up with Daxia's pace, gain experience from it, boost our country's strength, and have a chance to survive in the commercial competition with Daxia?
For example, how to learn from the young emperor the ways of serving and governing the country, etc.
Originally, the three prime ministers did not recommend allowing foreigners to attend such a grand meeting, but Fu Xiaoguan thought it did not matter, because if a country is truly powerful, it will not care about how other countries learn from it, let alone We won’t worry about other countries surpassing us.
It will not harm Daxia if these vassal countries become stronger. They can promote Daxia's progress. Only when Daxia's industries are distributed in these countries will they be able to provide supporting products and provide Daxia's products. Factories provide useful workers and enable greater spending power.
"Next, I want to talk about three things!"
"First, Daxia is going to establish a new department."
"It is the Ministry of Transport! In Daxia's inland shipping, except for the North-South Grand Canal, which is still under construction, other river channels have already been navigable due to the development and construction of river workers. But shipping needs to be There is a dedicated department to coordinate and arrange unified dispatch.”
"In addition, the second-generation steam locomotive developed by the Academy of Sciences has been experimentally completed, and the laying of railway tracks is also in progress. Next year, trains will run across the vast land of Daxia."
"Each train has to pass through a different station, but there is only one track for the time being, so the operation of the train also needs to be commanded and dispatched. This matter also needs to be completed by the Ministry of Transport."
"Second, Daxia's military strategic focus has shifted to the ocean. The navy needs to expand, and Daxia needs to have global strike capabilities, so Daxia needs at least nine fleets!"
"On this point, people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of National Defense will stay alone after the meeting, and we will discuss it in detail."
"Third, move the capital to Daxia!"
"Now that the construction of Chang'an City has been completed, Guanyun City, as the economic and political center of Daxia, has become somewhat overwhelmed. Therefore, after the New Year next year, various departments of Guanyun City will start preparing for an orderly move to Chang'an."
"Just in time, you may be able to take the train to Daxia first!"
These three news have actually spread among the ministers these days. Many people can’t believe it, especially the move of Daxia’s capital!
How wonderful this Guanyun City is!
The location is extremely high. It only takes one day to get to Jiangcheng, and you can enter the Yangtze River to Jinling or go to the sea to the Far East Road.
Chang'an...what is that place like?
For these people who used to live in the Wu Dynasty, Chang'an is a strange place.
But for people like Qin Mowen and Yan Xiwen who lived in the Yu Dynasty, Chang'an is a familiar place.
The kings or envoys of other countries are even more shocked at this moment - Daxia has moved its political center to Chang'an. Does this mean that Daxia is showing new deterrence to all surrounding countries?
After all, Chang'an is closer to the surrounding countries, but further away from the Nalian continent.
The last great court meeting in the second year of Daxia ended at dusk.
The news about this great court meeting also spread out. The people of Guanyun City were in an uproar, while a small number of businessmen were secretly rejoicing. Only then did more businessmen take a whiff.
But will Guanyun City really decline due to the relocation of the capital?
"It will never decline. It is the best outlet for Daxia and the seaside commercial center of Daxia in the future!"
In the Harem, Yangxin Hall, Fu Xiaoguan sat in front of his wife and children and said with a smile: "It will become the brightest pearl in the East, especially after the opening of ocean trade."
"This will become the most active commercial center in the world, and more foreigners will come here to do business."
“It is Daxia’s window to the outside world. It will integrate with business elites around the world, and what we have to do is watch it, watch how it will evolve, and watch what it will look like when it grows freely!”
"So the Jinfeng Group in our hands must not give up on Guanyun City. Its commercial prospects... may surpass Chang'an!"
Dong Shulan seemed to understand, but Yu Wenyun asked directly: "Then why do you want to move the capital?"
"Because I hope that the business in this place will be purer and less interfered by the government. In addition... I want to leave. It will be more conducive to the control of the future emperor if the capital of Daxia is in Chang'an."
"Even if Daxia goes downhill in the future, if it can occupy Chang'an and guard the North-South Grand Canal, Daxia's national rule may last longer."
Fu Xiaoguan shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "Actually, let's not think about such distant things. God has ascended the throne, and I will arrange for him capable ministers to assist him."
"Of course I hope that he can maintain his past and open up the future, but what about the next generation of emperors? What about the next generation? Who can guarantee that he will be a wise emperor?"
"Actually, this is my selfish intention. Originally... I planned to abolish this succession to the throne. After much thought, I finally couldn't do it."
Fu Xiaoguan really came up with this idea and even discussed it with the three prime ministers, but they were rejected without hesitation——
The common people may be able to look at the high sky when they are well fed and clothed, but thousands of years of education have taught them that this imperial power is a gift from heaven.
What is the use of looking at the sky?
Can they really be wise?
Do they know what an election is?
At least they are still sheep, and the course of history has not reached that level of civilization.
If we rashly change the inheritance of imperial power for thousands of years, the consequences will be great chaos in the Xia Dynasty!
It is better to maintain it than to cause chaos, not to mention that Wu Tianci studied under Wen Xingzhou and Wen Lao Ru, not to mention that there are so many loyal and capable ministers trained by His Majesty in Daxia.
So Fu Xiaoguan finally gave up.
This imperial power will be passed down like this until one day... it can no longer be passed on.
That may be the spark of a new civilization.
