Chapter 328: Moving the Capital

I finally got promoted, why am I so unlucky?

The frightened little maid didn't dare to look up and could only observe the seniors beside her.

The senior was calm and composed, as if the conversation was not a big deal.

The little palace maid only felt that the senior’s skill in cultivating Qi was really great, and he was worthy of being an elder in front of the emperor.

Just as he was fearing his fate, he heard the emperor's extremely calm voice saying to the prince, "I will give it to you next time I go out."

well?

The little maid is incredible.

Just, that’s it?

Why don't you follow the routine?

Where is the suspicion? Your Majesty, shouldn't you be jealous of the Crown Princess's greed for power and afraid that she will pose a threat to you?

Bei Jingchu, who might be a threat, just thought that Aye's words were strange.

"Yu Hun has been subdued, and the spies have been cleared out."

"The rest of the surrounding countries are small and sparsely populated. Even if Aye wants to expand his territory, he won't lead the army in person."

As she spoke, she had a terrifying guess: "... Could it be that you want to leave me to work for you and go out and have fun?"

Bei Jingchu reprimanded him with a look of looking at him as a bastard, trying to awaken the fatherly love and conscience of the dog tyrant.

Unfortunately, the dog tyrant had no conscience and retorted without any guilt: "You can't say that. I am not going out to be cool and unrestrained, but to solve the current difficulties of Dai Viet."

Bei Jingchu's expression revealed only one meaning: You are lying.

Bei Heng was helpless, he was clearly doing things for the public good.

So he explained, "You have taken over recently. Have you noticed that the food supply in Beijing has been insufficient for a long time?"

This had of course been discovered a long time ago, and Bei Jingchu was also trying to discuss how to solve the problem of transportation capacity.

Agricultural talents led by Xu Xinshu have improved various methods of growing grain. As long as there is no war, Da Yue will not lack food.

But outside, the land is vast and the population is sparse. In Beijing, every inch of land is valuable. There is not much land for people to grow food, and all the food has to be transported in from outside.

In addition, the climate in Beijing is not conducive to the production of abundant fish and rice. Even if the countryside is developed, it will be difficult to support so many mouths to feed.

Unfortunately, the transportation capacity can no longer support the increasing number of people. It would be outrageous if famine broke out even under the emperor's feet.

Bei Jingchu originally wanted to increase the transport capacity, but then she thought of what the emperor had just said...

She asked uncertainly, "Aye means... moving the capital?"

"You will take the officials to the Jianghuai area first, and I will stay in the capital to supervise the country until we are settled there."

Bei Heng simply wanted to pat her little head. She was indeed his favorite prince. How could she be so smart and understand everything at once?

Unfortunately, the child had grown up and sat far away below. Bei Heng rubbed his fingers regretfully.

His face was still calm and dignified, and he smiled with relief.

Although that smile, if you have poor eyesight you can't see it.

After receiving the affirmation, Bei Jingchu's mind quickly started to work on the pros and cons of relocating the capital.

The disadvantage is definitely the long journey. Before the capital was established, the security there was definitely not as good as that in the capital, and the palace had to be rebuilt, etc.

The advantage is that moving to a place with abundant rice and grain will solve the food crisis first. The climate in the south is warmer and more suitable for living.

The point is, if the capital is moved, the aristocratic families will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

At least half of the forces operating in the capital city cannot be moved away. Arriving in the new capital city will be an opportunity to rebuild the situation and carry out drastic reorganization.

She believed that Aye would definitely not hold back.

Even the hard work of the journey and some old and stubborn people may not adapt to the local climate and die "acclimatized".
