Wu Zheng felt a little guilty in his heart for no reason.

I am human, and they are also humans, but over the years I have neglected their interests and regarded them invisibly as sages who are not fond of fireworks.

This is definitely wrong. If this continues, there will definitely be mistakes and even lead to a big disaster!

Wu Zheng waved his hand, "I need to be quiet... You retreat first, and come to this hall tomorrow to report."

Ma Shiying and Song An looked at each other, their eyes touched, and they bowed and said, "I will obey the order... I will leave!"

....

That night, Wu Zheng went to Chunhe Palace to pay tribute to his father Wu Bochang.

Seeing his son with a sad face, Wu Bochang asked Wu Zheng in confusion, what happened?

Wu Zheng briefly told his father about his worries and depression, hoping that his father could give him some advice.

After listening to it, Wu Bochang was also puzzled. He also felt that this matter seemed simple, but in fact, it was extremely complicated.

Wu Bochang also believed that Wu Zheng did nothing wrong, because today is completely different from when Wu Zheng was King of Wu.

When Wu fought for the King of Wu, he could take care of his direct descendants and confidants. This is reasonable. But now he is an emperor and the people of the world are all the people. If he still takes care of his direct descendants and confidants, he will be criticized for being nepotist.

Especially today's court is actually the General's Mansion, composed of three forces from the former Jianxing Dynasty and the former Yongli Dynasty. In particular, the former Yongli Dynasty was said to have been incorporated, but the court has not even sent a riot official to Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi.

If there is a rumor that the emperor is nepotism, then the efforts he has made before will be wasted.

But then again, Jin King Li Dingguo is an exception. He was a minister of the Yongli court, but he was also a father-in-law of the new dynasty. It is reasonable to be trusted and valued by the emperor.

But if other people are used together or treated well, then the problem arises. There are so many official positions in the court, and the money and land that can be rewarded are also a fixed number. Who is the best to give? Who is it good to?

Wu Zheng officially launched an army in the attack on Shaoxing Prefecture and ascended the throne to the emperor today. Who is it? Who is it with Wu Zheng and his family and life and death?

Now the court officials have advised to delay the relocation of the capital on the grounds of Songjiang Prefecture as a reason for the abnormally high land price.

On the surface, it seems that it is because it cannot afford to buy the An family mansion, but in fact, Wu Bochang, like Wu Zheng, has savored the struggle for interests between several forces in the court.

Among these three parties, the former general's office had the most advantage, the former Jianxing court officials were second, and the former Yongli court officials suffered the most, because so far, few Yongli court officials had rushed to the capital, let alone possession of the land of Songjiang Prefecture.

....

After a long time, Wu Bochang said, "...I think your old ministers should not be treated unfairly, they are your most reliable barrier!"

Wu Zheng nodded, "The same thing happened to the child... But the problem is that there were more than 800 civil and military officials in the Yongli Dynasty, and only 200 people in the court... Officials can still be placed in place, so how can these court officials be placed... After all, they surrender rather than surrendered ministers. Children cannot cut them off their titles and seize their posts, as that will inevitably lead to riots!"

"Yes... you're right!" Wu Bochang nodded, "What good advice does Mao Xiang and others have?"

Wu Zheng shook his head, "They proposed two strategies... one is to change Shuntian Prefecture to the capital, and the other is to temporarily postpone the movement of the capital... These two strategies are not in line with the child's wishes!"

Wu Bochang said in surprise: "I think moving the capital to Shuntian Prefecture is a good idea. First, the three forces are all entering Beijing for the first time. The choice of land depends entirely on their own ability. No objection can be expressed. Second, the Shuntian Prefecture Palace is ready-made and there is no need to waste people and money to rebuild it. Third, it can also deal with the captives of all races in the north... Although the Qing court is now in lingering, the centipede worm will die without being stiff... Be careful to deal with it with it, and you will always be prepared for any trouble!"

After hearing this, Wu Zheng still shook his head, "The three things my father said... I thought of them, but I still thought that today, there is no need to worry about the threat from the north!"

Wu Bochang was slightly surprised and asked, "You are so sure about this Northern Expedition... Can you really do it as you wish and achieve your goal in one battle?"

Wu Zheng said with a slight head, "The child is indeed sure to win... The development of firearms has caused the cavalry that the northern Tartars have gradually lost their battlefield advantages. They are sparsely populated and are inherently disadvantageous... From today on, every time they fight our army, their momentum is weaker. After a few battles, they may not even be able to sustain the replenishment of new recruits... Of course, victory is not difficult!"

"It makes sense!" Wu Bochang nodded in agreement, "Then what you mean in your heart is, where do you want to establish a capital... Fujian and Guangdong will deal with Yunnan and Guizhou, or will Shaanxi and Gansu curb the Western Regions, or will it set the capital of Huguang to intimidate the four sides?"

Wu Zheng hesitated for a while and replied, "To be honest, the child has been hesitating... Each has his own advantages and disadvantages, and he really can't decide for a while... But the child is more inclined to Jiangnan!"

Wu Bochang was stunned, "Jiangnan? Do you want to establish the capital Yingtian Mansion, or... do you really want to establish the capital of the new city?"

Wu Zheng did not answer and fell silent.

Wu Bochang sighed lightly: "But how do you resolve the dilemma of not much free land in Songjiang Prefecture now... You can't force the land with the ruler... You are already an emperor, and you have the right to be the upper beam but not the lower beam is crooked. This... is absolutely not feasible!"

Wu Zheng laughed, "Dad is too worried. Even if the child decides to be in Yingtian Mansion, he cannot do such a ruthless thing!"

"It's good that you can think so!" Wu Bochang breathed a sigh of relief, but was still worried, "But how do you resolve the land trap... Or, you can discuss with your sister to see if the weaving department can raise money... Or, short the remaining shares of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in your hands and the court's name... In this way, you should be able to raise a considerable amount of money!"

Wu Zheng shook his head, "There are not many remaining Chamber of Commerce shares, and the shares have been sold three times, and the private sector can no longer produce too much money... According to the household registration book counted by Ma Shiying, the number of households who purchase Chamber of Commerce shares has reached more than 80%. The rest are estimated to be either really unintentional purchases, or really no money... The method of fishing out of the water is not feasible!"

Wu Bochang nodded in agreement.

Wu Zheng continued: "As for the weaving department, my sister had handed over all the flow of money to Mo Zhinian to buy the shares of the Chamber of Commerce. In just two or three months, how much flow of money can the weaving department raise?"

"Then... it's really hard to deal with!" Wu Bochang also became worried.

Wu Zheng grinned, "Dad, the child thought of a method... that is, I don't know if it can work. Today, I will ask my father for an explanation... to see if it can work?"

"Hurry up... let's hear!" Wu Bochang urged.
