"Brother's palace is really magnificent, and this Jinling City is even more delicious."

Zhao Kai had already taken off his armor and put on a neat narrow-sleeved robe. He stood in the second floor of Funing Hall with a golden knife, leaning against the windowsill, looking around with great enthusiasm.

I have to say that this Jinling Royal Palace is the most magnificent of all the palaces Zhao Kai has lived in and seen, no doubt about it!

Even the earlier Kaifeng Prefecture Palace and Luoyang Ziwei Palace cannot be compared with this Jinling Palace.

The layout of Kaifeng Prefecture Palace is too small, after all, it was expanded based on a military governor's office, and it is located in the city center of Kaifeng Prefecture. If you want to expand it on a large scale, it is not realistic to destroy the court just by demolition costs.

As for the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, it is big enough, but it is a palace passed down from the Tang Dynasty. Although it was overhauled in the Zhuangzong Dynasty, it was not repaired as the palace where the emperor always lived, so many of them were shoddy.

And this Jinling Palace is different!

The Jinling New City where Jinling Palace is located is a castle newly built ten years ago. Before construction started, the location and construction of the Jinling Palace were planned. Therefore, the Jinling Palace has enough space and is in an excellent location.

The imperial court of Jinling who moved south also had enough financial resources to build Jinling City and they also knew how to gain more wealth by building Jinling City! The imperial court of the Song Dynasty gave them enough experience in the operation of Kaifeng Prefecture. Therefore, the imperial court of Jinling was quite willing to devote himself to Jinling City and Jinling Imperial City.

In addition, the location of Jinling City is really great, and it can be easily transported by rivers, seas and water, and can obtain wood and stone at low cost.

In addition, when the Jinling Construction was underway, many northern refugees followed Zhao Huan to Jinling. Most of these people lost their property and had no support and were helpless. Jinling Construction just gave them employment opportunities so that they could overcome difficulties.

Therefore, the Jinling Imperial City started construction without shortage of land, secondly, no shortage of money, thirdly, and fourthly, no shortage of labor.

In this case, the Jinling Imperial Palace built is of course both strong and luxurious, and it is simply an ideal imperial home!

This ideal imperial house was not entirely built on flat ground, but partly on flat ground and partly on Lion Mountain. Therefore, the Jinling Imperial City is not only easy to defend, but also has a great vision.

Judging from the location where Zhao Kai is currently standing, you can not only overlook the imperial city, but also look at the prosperous land of Jinling from afar.

The prosperous land of Jinling reminded Zhao Kai of his previous life. Although he did not live in a prosperous first-tier city in his previous life, it was the 21st century with a high economic development!

The territory where Zhao Kai ruled before was suppressed due to long-term wars and military transformation of the mansion (militarized) transformation. Even in the capital of the gods, Luoyang, only the military industry is relatively prosperous. How can other industries be compared with Jinling City?

Looking at the night in Jinling in front of him, Zhao Kai couldn't help but think of his hometown in his previous life!

It was getting late. I saw three glorious lands in Jinling City under the twilight. One was in Jiangdong City, west of the main channel of the Qinhuai River. It was not only the most important port area in Jinling City, but also a place where hand-made workshops gathered. Between the main channel of the Qinhuai River and the West Channel, there was also a block with Qinlou Chu Pavilions and restaurants gathered, which was the real place of sleep.

The second place that never sleeps is in the old city of Jinling, the prosperity passed down from the Southern Tang Dynasty. Before Zhao Huan moved south, it was an extremely prosperous territory, and now it is of course even more lively. Moreover, the ecstasy area of ​​pleasure boats and cruise ships in the middle and upper reaches of the Qinhuai River is in the old city. It is the gold-selling cave for the romantic talented men and wealthy merchants.

The third never-sleeping land is relatively small in the east of Jinling New City, where financial institutions gather in the quarantine, residence hall, Jiaotong Shop, Changsheng Ku and other financial institutions. However, these financial institutions do not work night shifts, but in this block of financial institutions gathering, there is a Jinling Fengle Building, which is exactly the same as Fengle Building in Kaifeng. It is called "a building", but in fact it is three floors high, five floors facing each other, flying bridge railings, light and dark, and it forms a prosperous place.

Just as Zhao Kai was enjoying the night view of Jinling, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. When Zhao Kai looked back, he saw Guo Tiannu leading an eunuch from the Jinling Palace.

The eunuch held Fu Chong and bowed to Zhao Kai, then said, "The official family, the saint is invited."

Of course, the "saint" is not Confucius, but Zhu Saint Zhu Lian Zhu Saint.

People in the Song Dynasty called Emperor Laozi "Official Family, Great Master", while those who called Empress "Sage" (some people also called Empress, it depends on who called it), and those who called concubines "Some lady".

When he heard that Zhu Shengren had invited him, Zhao Kai immediately came to his mind. What did his sister-in-law invite me to do at night?

"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded, "Set up the Kunning Palace!"

The eunuch was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly glanced at Guo Tiannu.

"Official family," Guo Tiannu said with a smile, "The saint wants to invite you to the Stargazing Tower on the top of the mountain."

Star Gazing Tower? Look at the stars?

OK, then look at the stars!

Zhao Kai said again: "Okay, then let's set up the Star Viewing Tower! The goddess, bring my telescope and tripod!"

Of course, you need to have tools to see the stars, otherwise how can you see them clearly?

The Star Gazing Tower is the commanding height of Jinling New City. It is built on the top of Shizi Mountain and is three stories high. It is a viewing tower that can see both the stars and the river view, and of course the night view of Jinling.

Zhu Lian set up good wine and food on the Star Gazing Tower tonight, but there was no other meaning. He just wanted to reminisce about the past, contact Zhao Kai, and ask when Zhao Kai was going to return north, and whether he would come to Jinling City in the future?

Jinling is Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing! And it is also a place where wealth gathers in the world. Should the official family move around the two north and south?

In addition, Zhu Lian also wanted to find out Zhao Kai's tone. She wanted to know how this official who reopened the Song Dynasty wanted to deal with Zhao Huan, the "Gengshi Emperor" who was fleeing to Lingnan.

Zhu Lian doesn't care much about whether Zhao Huan is here or not, but her son Zhao Chen must exist as long as he still exists, then Zhao Kai will treat himself and Zhao Song with preferential treatment.

If Zhao Kai wanted to destroy Zhao Chen and Zhu Lian thought of this, his body couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, footsteps came from behind Zhu Lian, and it was Zhao Kai who arrived!

Zhu Lian hurriedly got up and wanted to salute, but saw Zhao Kai, who was walking upstairs quickly wavering at her, "Sister-in-law, why are you polite to me when I sit down?

By the way, your Jinling City is indeed a prosperous place, and the city never sleeps is better than Kaifeng Prefecture!”

Zhu Lian sat back on the chair as he said, and heard Zhao Kai praise Jinling again, and said with a smile: "Jinling is of course better than Kaifeng Prefecture. The prosperity of Kaifeng Prefecture is provided by the financial resources of a country. Emperor Taizu said this back then. However, the prosperity of Jinling does not require other places, but can provide a lot of wealth to the court!" "Yes, Kaifeng Prefecture is indeed not as much as that of Jinling Prefecture!" Zhao Kai nodded, "The Central Plains are not as many as the Southeast!"

Kaifeng Prefecture is a consumer city. It can produce not many things. Moreover, because of the excessive population, the supply of materials is extremely stressed, and the court had to spend huge sums of money to maintain the canal transportation.

Jinling is a city integrating production and consumption. Because of its convenient transportation, it is surrounded by fish and rice. It is easy to gather populations, forming industries and even producing evil capitalism!

Well, capitalism is almost in the beginning of Jinling City!

Large-scale employment and production have long been around, and the scale of the weaving industry and shipbuilding night production in Jinling City are quite considerable!

In addition, the financial industry in Jinling City has become a climate. Look at how strong the financial industry in Jinling is.

Finally, the southeastern region of the Song Dynasty where Jinling City is located has now given birth to a certain degree of independence of the merchant class, that is, a maritime merchant with strong ships and powerful guns!

Maritime merchants, navy, and pirates are to some extent connected and can be transformed into each other.

Because of the collapse of the Southern Song regime, the powerful Southern Song navy will definitely split some of the warships, officers, sailors and advanced firearms will be acquired by Southeast Maritime Merchants or Pirates!

This situation is almost inevitable!

Under such circumstances, Zhao Kaishi would have to relax the military restrictions on maritime merchants, otherwise the legal maritime merchants' livelihoods would become very dangerous, and even the maritime supply in the north would be unsustainable.

"Since the government knows that Jinling is good," Zhu Lian looked at Zhao Kai and asked with a smile, "Why not live here forever and enjoy peace and happiness?"

Zhao Kai was so itchy when Zhu Lian said!

Jinling is also an imperial family and is more suitable to serve as the capital of a large empire with mixed sea and land!

Under the conditions of medieval science and technology and productivity, Beijing Shuntian Prefecture actually had no conditions for building a capital, it was just a border fortress.

But Zhao Kai still shook his head and said, "It's not the time to destroy the barbarians, and the foundation of the troops in the palace is not solid, so I must take charge. At most another month, I will go north.

However, I will still maintain the status of Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing. If I can get free time, I will go south to Jinling to live for a while so that I can meet my sister-in-law every day!”

"Oh." Zhu Lian was a little embarrassed by his words, and nodded with a blushing face, but he felt something was wrong, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Official family, I just received a secret report from Suo Zhang. The King of Nanyue had already boarded the sea boat going south in Mingzhou, and there were still tens of thousands of people who followed him away!"

"It's good to leave," Zhao Kai looked at Zhu Lian, "It's just a miserable sister-in-law."

Zhu Lian sighed, "Official family, he is your elder brother after all."

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will send Zhang Bangchang and Liu Ge'er to the south tomorrow to be named King of Nanyue. From now on, he will be troubled by the southern country."
