Chapter 745 Move the capital?
"Your Majesty, Taiwan is across the sea from the Tang Dynasty, only a few hundred miles apart. Although our Daqi navy is now strong, the navy development of the Tang Dynasty in recent years is still very rapid, and it has posed a threat to our Taiwan.
The situation between the two countries will change in one day, and our capital of Da Qi will be directly exposed to the guns of the Tang Dynasty Navy. Therefore, I think it is time to consider moving the capital!" Seeing Li Yan for a while, Liu Rengui finally returned
I couldn't help but speak.
This time Liu Rengui came to meet Li Yan mainly for the purpose of moving the capital. Speaking of which, this matter has been quarreling in the political views of Daqi for many years. Taiwan is very good in all aspects, but it has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, distance.
The Tang Dynasty was too close. In the past, when Li Shimin was in power, it was impossible for the two countries to have conflicts, so there was no problem. However, with the expansion of the Tang Dynasty navy, Taiwan, which was close to the Tang Dynasty, suddenly became unsafe.
Some people had proposed to move the capital a few years ago.
Hearing Liu Rengui's words, Li Yan finally raised his head, but his eyes paused on Liu Rengui's face, then looked at Wang An next to him and asked, "Tao Fu, do you think it's appropriate to move the capital now?"
Although Wang An was old, he was not confused. He was sitting there just now and was thinking about this matter. Now when he heard Li Yan ask him, he immediately owed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Liu Xiangyan is talking about it."
It is reasonable that our Great Qi dominates the Pacific, America, Australia, and even the Southeast Asian regions, which are more suitable for the Great Qi capital than Taiwan, so the old minister thinks it is time to move the capital!"
Hearing Wang An's words, Li Yan sighed in his heart. He was full of feelings for Taiwan, whether it was from later generations or as his first base for expanding overseas, but now
With the development of the situation, Daqi has occupied the Americas, Australia and Nanyang and other places. From the perspective of territory, Taiwan seems a bit remote. To be serious, it has affected Daqi's rule over the Americas, Australia and other regions.
.In addition to the rise of the Tang Dynasty navy, Taiwan's security has become a problem. Now it is time to move.
Thinking of this, Li Yan felt helpless in his heart. Speaking of which, the overall relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Daqi is not bad now. Although there is some friction at the sea, it does not affect the overall situation. At least now his brotherly relationship with Li Zhi is still very close.
But the same is true: there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests. When two countries get along, they must consider the worst. Therefore, the capital of Daqi must not be placed at the gunpoint of the Tang Dynasty Navy.
under.
"It seems that it's time to implement the final plan!" Li Yan suddenly sighed and said to himself. When Li Shimin passed away, he had already thought of a way to resolve the conflicts between the four countries. It was just that the time was not yet ripe, so he waited
After so many years.
Hearing Li Yan's words, Wang An's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and a shocking light flashed in his eyes. Even the face, which had always been calm, showed a little excitement. In contrast, Liu Rengui did not
Understand what Li Yan said, and looked at Li Yan and Wang An in confusion for a moment.
After talking to himself, Li Yan turned his head and suddenly smiled at Liu Rengui, "Okay, I agree to the move of the capital. But what suggestions do the court officials have for the choice of the capital?"
Although Liu Rengui did not understand the meaning of Li Yan's previous sentence. But now when he heard Li Yan's agreement, he was also excited and stepped forward again and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have already formulated several candidates for the capital,
There are two in Southeast Asia, namely Manila and Coconut City, and in Australia, South Australia and Moli City. There are also people who propose to build a new capital in the Americas, but most courtiers believe that America is too far from Southeast Asia and Australia, and
The development level is not high, so it is best to choose Nanyang and Australia in the new capital!"
"Very good. These cities are all good, and they all have a certain foundation. Establishing them as capital can save a lot of manpower and material resources to transform!" Li Yan nodded after hearing this, from the territory of Daqi and the economies of various places.
From the perspective of civilization level, Nanyang and Australia are indeed more suitable for establishing capitals.
But then Li Yan said, "It's just that moving the capital is related to the stability of the country and the future rule of the various places, so it is absolutely unscrupulous. If you help this, Liu Xiang, choose a few people who have been trusted and let them establish it.
A "capital migration inspection team" will walk to the selected cities and see what the conditions in the city are in various aspects? When they come back, we will select a city to be the capital according to their report!
”
"This..." Liu Rengui looked up at Li Yan with some confusion. Although the emperor's performance in front of him seemed normal, for some reason, he always felt like he was perfunctory by Li Yan. Unfortunately, Liu Rengui couldn't take it at all.
After giving out the evidence, he had to agree, "As for orders, I will do it now!"
After Liu Rengui retreated, Wang An suddenly stood up and said excitedly to Li Yan: "Your Majesty, have you really decided to implement that plan?"
Li Yan smiled and nodded: "I have been waiting for this opportunity back then. Now it's finally time. Otherwise, if we allow the four countries to develop like this, we may eventually turn against each other. My father, he is the spirit of heaven, may
It will be very sad too!”
That night, Li Yan wrote letters to Li Ke, Li Yun and Li Zhen respectively. There was no other content in the letter, but just told them that they had extremely important things to meet them, and the location was still selected.
In Chang'an, Li Yan sent the letter, and then he walked alone. Except for telling Wen Xin in advance, no one else knew his itinerary.
This time, Li Yan was traveling casually, and no one was following him except for a few loyal guards. Moreover, this time he did not take his own "Qihuang" steamboat, but like ordinary people,
Bought a ticket for a passenger ship at the Keelung Port boat, and boarded a steam passenger ship called the Ping'an. The ship would arrive in Dengzhou, and then Li Yan changed the boat there, entered the Bohai Sea and arrived at the Yellow River.
River channel.
Because he was worried that he would be recognized, Li Yan put on makeup on himself, mainly because he made his hair short. It looked similar to the hairstyles of later generations. Speaking of which, as these concepts changed,
More and more people think that long hair is too difficult to take care of. Especially those living in hot areas, coupled with the seafarers, bald and short hair have begun to become popular in Daqi, with the least of ten men.
Half of them have long hair cut off.
Although Li Yan also thinks that short hair is much easier to care for than long hair, hair is a part of the body. Traditional concepts believe that cutting hair is to hurt your body, which is also an unfilial act, and short hair is not
It conforms to the aesthetics of ordinary Han people, so as a model in the world, he could only keep his long hair.
This time, Li Yan didn't want others to recognize him. So he just cut his hair and changed the style of his beard. In this way, he suddenly seemed to have changed his personal life, if he was not very familiar
His people would not be recognized at all.
After cutting into the familiar short hair of later generations, Li Yan felt that his whole body was completely refreshed, his head was much more relaxed, and his walking steps became lighter. He even deliberately turned around the deck of the Ping'an, but found that he was left on the boat.
There are not many passengers with short hair, and his current appearance is simply inconspicuous.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Li Yan finally felt relieved. Then he began to look at the steamship he was riding on. The Ping An is a passenger ship under the name of Yifan Seafreight, and it is also a new ship that just went into the sea this year. The performance of the ship
Very reliable. Li Yan had heard Yifan talk about this a long time ago, and this is one of the reasons why he chose this boat.
Speaking of Yifan Shipping. This is the first ship in the world to use a steamship, and was jointly founded by Li Yan and Zhao Yifan. After so many years of development, Yifan Shipping has become the largest ship in Daqi, with almost every route on
There were Yifan sea-carrier ships sailing, which even Li Yan did not expect.
It is worth mentioning that a few years ago, Yifan suddenly gave birth to a baby boy. The father of the child was unknown, which aroused many speculations. Later, Yifan was very annoyed by the harassed people, so he told the husband in the newspaper.
His child was named Li Zhi. Now everyone immediately shut up. When they talked about this with their friends in private, they would involuntarily look in the direction of the palace.
Just as Li Yan was leaning against the ship's back and thinking about his thoughts, suddenly there was a scream from the children not far away. Then he felt a black head and a ball the size of a human head flew towards his head, but before he could wait
The ball fell on his head, and a young and burly guard next to him immediately stepped forward, stretched out his big palm-like hand and grabbed the ball.
It was not until then that Li Yan discovered that on the deck not far in front of him, a group of children were staring at the ball in the hand of the guard in front of him in amazement. The screams they had just made. It seemed that these children accidentally put the ball in the ball.
They kicked it away. When they were about to hit Li Yan, they didn't expect that they would be grabbed by someone with their hands, which made them look so shocked.
Li Yan looked at the cute children in front of him and couldn't help but think of the children in the family. Chou Chou and Li Qi and other older ones were already married. Chou Chou married Li Yexu's son, whose name was
Li Zhongxin was bullied by Chou since he was a child. Later, he didn't know what happened, and the two young people developed feelings for each other. So Li Yan made the decision and made sure they were both. But when they were married, Li Yan felt like he was.
The most precious treasure was stolen, which was even more uncomfortable than watching Aizi get married.
As for Li Qi, Li Mian and others, they all married daughters of noble families, and they all had their own children, making Li Yan a grandfather now.
Thinking of his children at home, Li Yan couldn't help but be stunned, but the little guys in front of him couldn't wait and shouted: "Uncle, please throw the ball over?"
Hearing the children's screams, Li Yan woke up and agreed with a smile, taking the ball from the guard next to him, but at this time he was also playful. He said that he hadn't played for many years.
Football is here.
Therefore, Li Yan let go of the football and kicked it out. As a result, his footwork was indeed comparable to that of the Chinese national football team in later generations. The ball drew a light arc in the air, and then flew over the deck accurately and fell suddenly.
When they arrived in the sea on the other side, a few of the younger children saw that they had no balls. They all looked at Li Yan with aggrieved eyes, and finally cried out with a 'wow~'!
