Zhao Dongting hasn't told many people about moving the capital.

For Lu Xiufu and others in front of you, that is no different from a bolt from the blue.

This is not a small matter, but a huge matter.

Because the location of the capital means the political and economic center of the Song Dynasty.

Before, the old capital Lin'an was captured, and some people advised him to move the capital Lin'an, but they were rejected by the emperor.

Now they suddenly understood why the emperor refused to move the capital to Lin'an.

I'm afraid that the emperor has long had ambitions and ambitions in his heart, and he wants to take down Zhongdu.

But no matter what, the emperor said that he would move the capital to Zhongdu, which surprised them.

In the vast Central Plains, because Kaifeng and Lin'an are the two cities that are most related to the Song Dynasty, they are both old capitals.

I thought that even if I wanted to move the capital, the emperor would choose these two cities as his first choice.

"emperor."

Wang Wenfu raised his hand and said first: "I wonder why you suddenly planned to move the capital to Zhongdu?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Dongting in confusion.

Although they were all capitals of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty's economy was opened to make a wish by the Song Dynasty.

There are definitely no cities like Changsha and Lin'an in the land of Zhongdu.

Furthermore, Zhongdu has never been the capital of the Song Dynasty.

The most important thing is that the Yuan Dynasty had just been defeated.

I'm afraid there is still not stable.

"Is it Song Tu in the world?"

Zhao Dongting looked at Wang Wenfu and said, "I didn't have a sudden idea, but I had this idea in my heart.

When Emperor Yuan surrenders to us, the Central Plains will return to our Song Dynasty.

The people in the south are ours, and so are the people in the north.

As the emperor, you as important officials of the central cabinet, have the responsibility to let the people in the north live a good life.

And to develop the northern economy as quickly as possible, moving the capital is the fastest way."

"But that..." Wang Wenfu frowned slightly, "I'm afraid it wouldn't be the hearts of the people in the south."

“No.

Even if there is, it is only temporary."

Zhao Dongting smiled and shook his head, "I want to move the capital to Zhongdu, and there are other reasons.

This is more important than developing the economy.”

As he said that he seemed to be interested in taking the exam, he said, "You might as well guess..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the seemingly nonsense smile on Zhong Jian’s face, “Lovely Zhong, why don’t you tell me why I want to move the capital to Zhongdu?”

Zhong Jian walked forward, his face full of confidence, but he did not look frivolous, and bowed: "I guess that the emperor wants to move the capital to Zhongdu, it must be related to the nomadic peoples in the north.

Looking at the past and present, the people who have captured the ethnic groups in the Central Plains are the northern tribes such as Mongolia and Jin.

They are all strong people and brave in battles. They are actually the great enemies in our Central Plains, not comparable to Yueli, Dali and other places.

The Yuan Dynasty established the capital of Zhongdu to look down on the Central Plains and lie on the north bank to look at the south of the Yangtze River.

And the emperor, you moved the capital to Zhongdu, I think..."                                                        

Zhao Dongting chuckled and said, "You are still keeping it a secret, continue talking.

These are all the ministers of our Song Dynasty, so it’s okay to say it bluntly.”

"yes."

Zhong Jian continued, "I think you have two ideas.

First, it is to dominate the central government to shock and restrain the northern tribes, or to make it difficult for them to develop through policies such as differentiation and Huairou.

The second is to use the goal to advance into the grassland in the future...the sight of the unprecedented...the south attack the north."

The last four words came out of his mouth and seemed a little strange.

Zhao Dongting also keenly captured the strange color in Zhong Jian's eyes.

Oh.

This "top scholar" he appointed was also sent to various departments to focus on training and those who had high hopes were finally polished into jade.

Moreover, it is a piece of ambitious jade.

Seeing Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu and others changing color, Zhao Dongting knew very well that in the future, the Song Dynasty would be afraid that more people would have to rely on Zhong Jian and others.

Whether it is implementing new policies or discussing new national policies, they have experienced the transition from "Old Song" to "New Song" to "New Song" and other "Old Song" people are more suitable than Lu Xiufu and others.

The knowledge and concepts in their minds must be more trendy, and they are more suitable for the current Song Dynasty.

Of course, Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu and others are all well-educated and very capable, but the old thinking in the past has finally become a kind of "constraint".

For example, when they attacked the north from the south, it can be seen from their faces that they did not have such thoughts.

I can't even think about it now.

However, people like Zhong Jian can understand that with the current strength of the Song Dynasty, it is not impossible to attack the north from the south.

With firearms such as the Shenlong Gun, war is no longer the world of the northern nomadic peoples.

"good."

After a little silent, Zhao Dongting suddenly laughed out loud and said, "I know my heart very well."

Then his eyes swept across the faces of Lu Xiufu and other ministers, "In the past, we all lived in the south because our soil and soil are fertile and suitable for living.

It is no problem to have food and clothing, and self-sufficiency. Even if it is not a prosperous era, as long as you don’t fight, diligent people will always have a full meal.

Only in the north are different from those nomadic peoples, and the living environment there is far worse than ours in the south. As the saying goes, if you live well, you will easily lose your ambitions. After a long time of comfort, no matter how great your ambitions or ambitions are gone.

This is a good thing. We never want to call the north because we have nothing to lack.

They were short of the north, so they came and beat us.

After winning and tasting the sweetness, it became more and more out of control. We simply took away the dynasty we established.

No one can live forever. I can guarantee that nomadic peoples will not be able to fight in my lifetime, but I cannot guarantee that the war will not poison this land in thousands of years.

Therefore, if I want to move the capital to Zhongdu, I also have to expand the territory of the Song Dynasty to the grassland so that people there can also have food, clothing and use.

In this way, the battle will not start lightly."

Zhao Dongting dared not say that the whole world will always be in peace, because even if he traveled through the world before he came, wars often broke out.

It's just small-scale.

Zhao Dongting was satisfied that he could have such peace in this world.

And he had this opportunity.

Today, the Song Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world, and it has the most advanced concept in its mind.

With enough time, it is not impossible to change the entire world.

He is the king of the most powerful country and can fully guide the development direction of this world.

And there should be no major resistance.

At this moment, Lu Xiufu and others had already been suppressed by Zhao Dongting's ambitions.

Most of them had never thought that Zhao Dongting had such great ambitions.
