Anyway, he was bored, so Chen Xu said his plans very carefully.

If these things were left six or seven years ago when he first came to Xianyang, everyone, including the emperor, would have basically not understood them at all. However, under the influence of Chen Xu's influence and various work changes over the years, almost everyone has understood these things.

"The left prime minister said that these ships should be planned in the same order as parking lots?" an official asked in surprise.

"Yes, there is no order without rules. These ships come and go frequently and are extremely chaotic, but we can formulate a system to allow all ships to enter and exit according to the rules!" Chen Xu nodded.

"The left-wing men said it is reasonable. I thought that I would go to court every day a few years ago. The cars and horses on the square in front of the main hall were chaotic. Now, after drawing the parking area according to the grade, everything is in order. I don't have to squeeze into a bunch of court every day!" Many officials couldn't help but nod and agreed to Chen Xu's idea.

"The diversion of passengers and goods is indeed a good method. My dear is very considerate!" Qin Shihuang also agreed.

"Your Majesty is too good. The Wei River is connected to the Great River, which runs through several counties in the Central Plains and radiates hundreds of counties. With Dongfang Road, one water and one land form the transportation artery in the hinterland of China. Departing from Xianyang by boat, you can reach the sea estuary of Qi County in up to three days, and it only takes one day to reach Luoyang Daliang and other places. Such a fast travel is more than ten times more convenient than land. At present, passenger and freight transportation in the Dahe Basin and the Wei River are becoming increasingly busy. The ships have more than one day. The collapse of the Qi County wharf this time caused major casualties. The main reason is that the infrastructure cannot keep up with the requirements of freight development. The management and dispatch are unreasonable. I plan this matter with my feelings. After the planning of the Academy of Sciences is completed, I will submit a letter to Your Majesty for a look, hoping to change the chaotic and disorderly state in front of me." Chen Xu replied with a smile.

"I am very happy to do my best to develop the Qin Dynasty. I can understand the national conditions and care about national affairs when eating and drinking. I am really pleased. I will trouble you to arrange this matter. After the plan, I will let the three provinces and six ministries and the Inner Historian Office cooperate to complete it..."

When the First Emperor said this, his eyes glanced a little, and his face became a little serious, and he said, "Although the ban was implemented by the left minister, I also agreed to support it. My dear friends should have seen that if these merchants did not operate transportation and goods, how could I have the prosperity and prosperity of the Qin Dynasty today? It is natural for merchants to speculate and profit, but as long as there is strict laws and reasonable guidance of leniency and strictness, merchants will definitely follow the rules. Yesterday, the Ministry of Works reported that many merchants such as the Fan family raised more than 5 million yuan to support the construction of the library. This is a benevolent and righteous act. Before, the Wu family, the livestock merchant, helped me.

Tens of thousands of cattle and horses in the Qin Dynasty conquered the State of Zhao. Later, the Baqing clan funded huge wealth to build border walls. A few years ago, there were ship merchants Qi Mao to provide disaster relief. Now many merchants donated huge sums of money to build libraries. Our Qin Dynasty never banned business, and we will never ban business in the future. As long as the merchants respect the laws of the Qin Dynasty, no one can blame or interfere. These are clearly listed in the new business laws. All my beloved ministers are hereditary nobles of our great Qin Dynasty and are also my important ministers. We must not be selfish because of the money in front of us to stop and destroy the prosperous situation in front of us. Have you heard it clearly..."

"I will remember your Majesty's words!" Facing the powerful but not angry eyes of Emperor First Emperor, the group of kings, princes, princes, and ministers were all in their hearts, and they could put away their thoughts and stand up to salute.

The officials who were just talking about it were like quails, put their heads in their arms and did not dare to look up at the emperor and Chen Xu more.

Chen Xu was just respected by the emperor as the Grand Master, and the crime of secretly attacking the Grand Master is not a small matter. If the emperor really wants to be serious, it will be a matter of a moment to lose his official position and get his title in an instant.

This incident also made everyone who had other ideas about Chen Xu instantly strangled more thoughts in their minds. In the future, I am afraid that no one could shake Chen Xu's status for one day.

Zhao Hai, who was standing behind the First Emperor, twitched vigorously and took a step back secretly. Meng Yi, who was in the same line as him, also shook his face slightly, and even gently curled the corner of his mouth, as if mocking these provocations overestimating one's ability.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we should prepare to build the second concrete bridge!" As the oldest Shangqing present and as the director of the Sixth Ministry, Feng Quji habitually likes and muds, pointing at the Weihe Bridge with his fingers and changing the topic with a smile.

The few people who said something just now were all officials of the Sixth Ministry. He naturally knew it well, but the court was extremely complicated, and the family relationships of these second, third and fourth rank chief officials were intertwined. In fact, he could not cover up the sky in the Shangshu Province, so he could only quickly abandon this matter so as not to cause misunderstandings from the emperor.

"What Feng Xiang said is that there are indeed too many people and cars coming and going on both sides of the Wei River every day, and it never stops. Every festival and grand event is even more crowded. It is indeed necessary to quickly build a new bridge!" Some officials quickly agreed with Feng Quji's words.

"Well, I also think so. Although the Wei River Bridge is strong, if it continues like this for many years, it may collapse if it is overwhelmed!" The First Emperor's face was also a little worried. He had already had this idea when he was watching with a telescope.

"What do you think the left prime minister?" Feng Quji turned to Chen Xu with a smile.

"What Feng Xiang said is that there is only one bridge now, and it is too busy. We really need to prepare for the construction of the second Weihe Bridge!" Chen Xu nodded with a smile.

Hearing that the two prime ministers reached a unified view, a group of princes, princes, ministers, civil and military officials standing next to them all began to discuss where the bridge should be built.

According to the current construction level, it is no longer a problem that bridges can be built or cannot be built. It just depends on where the repair is better and more convenient. You can do not have to worry too much for the time being. At that time, a Weihe Bridge spent 500,000 stones of grain, which was converted into nearly 20 million yuan, which is equivalent to the income of the Neishi Mansion for half a year. But now, this money is only one-third of the income of the Neishi Mansion for half a year, and it can be fully supported. Moreover, as the output of cement plants and steel plants gradually expands, sufficient construction materials can be raised in a very short time. If the project is launched soon, it will be completed by the beginning of autumn and will be opened to traffic by the end of the year.

"Your Majesty, building a bridge is an urgent matter, but I think the best way is to move the capital!" A group of kings, princes and ministers stood on the city tower, pointing in groups of three or five to discuss in different directions of the Wei River, while Chen Xu made a shocking proposal.

In an instant, there was an incomparable silence on the city tower, and everyone turned to look at Chen Xu or the First Emperor with all kinds of suspicious expressions.

"Xianyang has been the capital of the Great Qin for more than a hundred years. Why did the left prime minister suddenly say that he wanted to move the capital?" After a while, the trembling Gaoyang Hou Zhao Bing asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's much easier to build a bridge than to move the capital. Even if you build a few more bridges, it's even less expensive..." Some officials couldn't help but murmur.

"That's true. All the kings, princes, princes, ministers, civil and military officials of the Great Qin are all living in Xianyang City, and their fiefs, fiefs, land, and houses are all near Xianyang. How should they be resettled if they move the capital..."

"These are still available for discussion, but moving the capital will inevitably require the reconstruction of the palace and many halls, which is too expensive..."

"It is not necessary to move the capital. Xianyang is now full of people, not only are there many houses old and dilapidated, but many streets and alleys are also dirty. When it rains in summer, sewage will overflow..." Lu Xiao, who is the most familiar with Xianyang City, spoke for a long time after hesitating.

"Lieutenant Lu said it well. Xianyang City is indeed too many people, and it is inconvenient to travel to the southeastern counties across the Wei River. However, it still needs to be considered where to move the capital..."

"If I move the capital, I think the best place to go is naturally Luoyang, the eastern capital..."

"I thought it was OK!"

"Linzi is not bad either..."

After a group of princes, princes and ministers slowly woke up, they all started to discuss, some oppose and some support, and they were very rich in the factional style of the court.

"Since my dear suggests that I move the capital, do you have any detailed plans?" Qin Shihuang looked at Chen Xu with interest after being stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty, the scale of Xianyang City is already very large, not to mention the noisy people, all facilities such as road traffic and drainage are very old, and can no longer bear too much population, and the room for renovation and expansion is also very small. Repairing and repairing cannot meet the future development of Xianyang. As the capital, Xianyang will have a larger population in the future. Under increasing pressure, various situations will become more chaotic and complex. Building several bridges cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Only by expanding the scale of the capital, the moving capital is not to move the capital to other places. After all, the foundation of our Qin Dynasty is in Guanzhong, where the rivers crisscross the fertile land, which is

The world's first-class granary is located, and there are four natural dangers to protect it. In addition, the Wei River can directly lead to the East China Sea, which is the best choice for establishing a capital. Therefore, the purpose of moving the capital is to plan and build a new city on the south bank of the Wei River. With steel and cement, a more spacious and tall court hall and office offices of various government offices can be built. This will drive a large number of merchants, wealthy people and civilians to gather in Weinan, and a new city will soon be formed. This will not only alleviate the growing population pressure of Xianyang City, but also improve the current office environment. After all, the palace built with rammed earth and wood and stone is not as strong and spacious as concrete..."

"The proposal of Zuo Xiang's capital migration is indeed very good, but where does the money come from?" Although Feng Quji seemed to be silent, his trembling eyebrows still betrayed his inner thoughts.

After all, Chen Xu just said that in the end, to complete this amazing project, he had to rely on the officials of the six ministries he commanded to complete. The most troublesome thing to him was naturally money.

He didn't need to read the detailed planning book. Just listening to the name of the capital, he knew that this project would not be successful without spending several years of fiscal and taxation in the entire country.

"Hehe, naturally Feng Xiang thought of a solution, he just kept the proposal!" Chen Xu laughed dryly.

Feng Quji:...

"Moving the capital to Weinan... The Zuo Prime Minister's proposal coincides with me!" Qin Shihuang's eyes lit up at this time, which was similar to the Afang Palace he planned.

"Your Majesty, the old ministers in Weinan do not object to moving the capital, but they may be too expensive to afford it!" Feng Quji quickly bowed his hands with a worried face.

"Building a new city is indeed quite expensive, but if you all think it is feasible, I will stop all the palace projects currently being renovated!"

"Your Majesty, the matter of moving the capital is too much involved. I suggest that you arrange for the Ministry of Works to conduct a detailed investigation before making arrangements!" Qi Dang, the Inner Historian's Office, stood up and said.

"I'm going to discuss it!" In the blink of an eye, seven or eight second- and third- and fourth-rank officials stood up, most of them were officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Finance Department.

"Well, today is not a court discussion. Let's talk about this matter later. The Ministry of Slaughter and Works will arrange for craftsmen to inspect the terrain and terrain on the south bank of the Wei River as soon as possible. The Academy of Sciences can cooperate and come up with a new capital construction plan before the beginning of autumn!"

"I obey the order!" Zai Hong quickly bowed and agreed.
Chapter completed!
