Chapter 41 Who is the Southern Capital
There are many people competing for Li Xiang's lecture position. If Li Xiang hadn't been sure to study in Wuhan, the Wudu powerful people who were crazy about it would have been more than ten times more than now.
Others think that Li Xiang is most likely to study in Wuhan, Zhang De has the widest range of skills, but he doesn’t know that Li Xiang and Zhang Daxiang are extremely close, even though Li Xiang is actually closer to Zhang De. However, the relationship between Zhang Daxiang and Li Xiang means that the former is the "life defender" of the latter.
Even Zhang Daxiang, the eldest son of Duke Zou, looked like a useless man who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble.
"Where are you going to mess around again?"
In Princess Langya's mansion, Zhang Gongjin, who was reading glasses, was reading a newspaper. He felt a fat pig breaking into the yard. He looked closely and found that it was his son. His face suddenly collapsed and he looked at Zhang Daxiang with anger.
"I went to have a drink with someone." Zhang Daxiang, who is middle-aged, has excellent maintenance, white and tender, and looks extremely young. You said that he is only in his early twenties and has a little bit of his beard. It is not necessarily true that someone can see that he is actually an old bird who is almost forty years old.
I found a seat on my own, made a cup of tea for myself, and asked my father while drinking it: "Sir, will the 'Star Bank' invest in Hubei this year?"
"Um?"
Zhang Gongjin put the newspaper on his knees and folded it up, "What did you ask? Didn't you also participate in the stake?"
"How could I know so much? I wouldn't even ask someone to ask you. It's better to come over and ask you, sir."
While talking, Zhang Daxiang also added a cup of tea cup for himself. At this time, the voice of a young man came from the east wing. It was born to Zhang Daxiang's half-brother, Princess Langya, but he was very close to Zhang Daxiang's brothers. It was really... Is it still called a high-end entertainment club in the capital?
"I heard from my subordinates in Hubei that most of the investment projects set by Xinghan Bank this year will be in Hubei Province."
After a pause, Zhang Gongjin said again, "It is to build a relaxation road within the province and reach the provincial capital Wuhan."
"Wuhan? Is it the official name?"
"Compare with Henan Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture."
"Oh? This is an upgrade."
Although "Wuhan and Wuhan" are called, in fact, "Wuhan" is essentially the place between the two states, mainly the core areas of Mianzhou and Ezhou.
Wuhan is not a geographical noun, but a political noun and economic noun.
But now, "Wuhan" will officially become Wuhan, and its status is actually compared to Henan Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture, which is a bit amazing.
Henan Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture are the county magistrates of the fifth rank, and generally have at least one Chaosan doctor. They are the serious "literati-official" class, the kind that walks with wind.
Such Chixian is only directly under Kyoto, with only six or seven in total, and sometimes it will be abolished. In addition to Chixian, it is the Jixian county in the Jingji area. Generally, it can be a county magistrate at the level of the Jixian county, which is basically half a foot on the threshold of the powerful circle of the high-ranking families.
It is impossible for the upper, middle and lower counties in the local area to enter the circle of high-ranking powerful people through their own abilities.
So it makes sense for Zhang Daxiang to say that Wuhan needs to be upgraded.
The fifth-rank county magistrate, Hanyang County and Jiangxia County are still in front of the poor county magistrates, and they are simply wealthy from the sky.
"I just said that compared with Henan Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture, should we really treat it as Kyoto? We are still talking about it at the dynasty meeting."
If Zhang Gongjin can say that it is "discussing", it must be a war of verbal battle.
The outside world generally speculates whether the court opposes Wuhan’s upgrade to one of Kyoto, while the local forces in Wuhan are promoting it in full swing.
In fact, on the contrary, the ones who want to upgrade Wuhan to one of the capitals were the big bosses in the court. Those who oppose it were the forces in the Yangtze River in the south, as well as local forces in the South China Sea and the East China Sea.
There are two proposals in total, but the essence is the same.
That is where Nandu is placed.
The current official status of Nandu is actually Chengdu. When Emperor Li was engaged in feudalism, he mainly focused on the core ruling area and did not extend to the south of Jingchu. Even if Feng Ang joined Li Yuan, he had a greater cooperation nature and the minimum requirement was only one. If you don’t rebel, that would be great. If you can still control the natives of Lingnan, it would be better, and you can give any reward.
With more than 30 years of development, the Wude Dynasty has been pacified and has been renewed, and there have been two new labor force. The traditional agricultural social experience has become a bit outdated at this time.
At least in the Yangtze River Basin, the more developed handicraft industry, the large amount of hydraulic, wind, animal machinery and more developed transportation and logistics levels are put into use. The technological integration and upgrading beyond the times have caused a "big explosion" in the population of local big cities.
Even special "economic cities" like Wuhan have expanded to the limits of this era.
If we continue to expand and expand, even if Wuhan Guanshang Group has this intention, urban construction cannot keep up. The final result is that Wuhan, a super city, disintegration.
The daily increase in domestic waste is beyond the imagination of the elderly in the two dynasties. In order to ensure that a super city with a population of two million has stable sources of food and fresh water, the resources consumed in commuting logistics every day are unimaginable.
There is a reason why Wuhan Officials and Business Group wants to divert out excessively concentrated resources in Wuhan.
The grudges, love and hatred with Xiangyang and Jiangling are on the one hand, and the interests of Wuhan are also on the other hand.
In this case, if Wuhan is upgraded to one of the capitals and add more administrative expenditures on the basis of two million people, it is very likely that this is the last straw that crushes the city's functions.
Before solving the technology of how to improve urban functions, the population of two million was the limit. And it was the limit of the city with extremely developed land transportation.
Inland areas, even if they only maintain a capital of one million people, they will easily destroy the entire urban groundwater system.
This is why, the Chang'an City, the Wude and Zhenguan dynasties, are far inferior to the Chang'an City of the previous Han Dynasty.
Because the latter completed the overdraft early.
The main objections to the quarrel at the dynasty meeting were Jianghuai, Jiangdong and Lingnan.
Wei Zheng and his group of Jianghuai forces hoped to rebuild the "Jiangdu" and enhance the status of Yangzhou; Changsun Wuji, as the leader of "New Jiangdong", hoped to establish the "East Capital". The old land of the Six Dynasties was similar to Changsun Wuji; Lingnan and his group of Guangdong-communist forces hoped to rebuild the "Jiangnan capital" and that the great backer they found was Fang Xuanling, the governor of Jiangxi.
The "allies" of the Wuhan forces are these forces who want to improve their local status, while the Wuhan forces themselves firmly oppose it.
Even the Hanyang County Magistrate and Jiangxia County Magistrate, even though he knew that he would be promoted to the third level, he simply disagreed with defining Wuhan as one of the capitals.
No matter how much you are in your heart, after you are promoted to the third level, you may be the death of your entire political career, which is meaningless to them.
"What do you think if Wuhan can become one of Kyoto?"
"I think Guangzhou is most likely."
“Um…”
Zhang Daxiang nodded, but did not ask why. He didn't need to worry about why, he just needed to know the result.
The reason why Zhang Gongjin said that Guangzhou is the most likely is because the big guys are promoting this matter, and Feng’s family has used a lot of resources for this matter, spending money like a waterfall. Not only Fang Xuanling’s group of people took action, but also the relationship between the old Feng Ang, like the Gao family in the Bohai Sea, now supports Guangzhou as the Nandu.
In addition, the royal family force of King Jiangxia, due to Li Daoxing and Li Jingren spent a lot of money on activities in Beijing, achieved remarkable results.
At least within the royal family, they are willing to support Jiangxia King Li Daozong to do some small business.
Li’s discussion behind closed doors was that whoever gave money was cheerful would be louder, and the status was not very meaningful in the royal family.
As a royal family, as long as they have money, they don’t have to worry about being prosperous. The reason why those underachieving royal families nodded and bowed everywhere is that they are essentially not rich. Unlike those poor families outside, they do not lack social status themselves, but they just cannot convert their social status into cash smoothly.
"What are you asking for? Who are you asking for information?"
"Where did I get so many trivial things? I just told Rengui before that he sent Xue Na to Li Xiang as a attendant, so he took out his family and asked me to do it. I thought, Zhang Daxiang would have to spend money when I went out to run? I would save this money for Xue Na, looking for an investment place."
