Moving is a big deal, but for Zhao Kuo, it is also an easier thing.

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said, "Since it is already a capital city, it's still called Taoyi, which is a bit too ordinary.

Let’s do this, from now on, Taoyi will be renamed - Emperor Jing."

The imperial capital is for the imperial capital! After hearing this, the ministers also expressed their agreement.

At this point, the new capital of Zhao State - the Imperial Capital was completely established! From now on, there will be no Taoyi, only the Imperial Capital.

In the imperial capital, there was actually a palace that was once the Song Dynasty. Later, this palace was successively converted into the palace of Kings of Qi, Kings of Qin, Kings of Wei, and Kings of Zhao.

As long as someone is sent to arrange and repair it, Zhao Kuo can move in.

Of course, a new palace still needs to be built. After all, it would be unreasonable for the great Han Dynasty to say that there was no brand new and full of atmosphere in the factory.

Zhao Kuo was not in a hurry to do so, but asked Minister of Finance Guo Zong to first come up with a budget, and then let the left Prime Minister Pang Nuan be responsible for supervising the worker.

The two ministers naturally followed with confidence in this arrangement.

To be honest, the Han Dynasty today is impossible to lack anything.

After all, the Han Dynasty completely inherited all the family business of Zhao, which means that all the wealth seized by Zhao from other countries is now owned by the Han Dynasty.

Just think about it, Zhao's own wealth plus the wealth of the other five countries is definitely astronomical. Not to mention building a palace, or building ten or eight, it is more than enough.

In response, Zhao Kuo specially warned: "Building a royal palace is enough, do you understand?

The palace is the future face of the Han Dynasty, so it is necessary to have it.

However, in the final analysis, the development of our great Han Dynasty is to allow the entire Huaxia people to live a better life. It is enough for me to have a gorgeous palace, and there is no need for more palaces."

Zhao Kuo was also very clear that as the founding king, he must establish this correct thought and behavior.

Otherwise, if future generations and descendants say: "The founding ancestors were spending money every day, why can't I do it?"

In this case, the big man will basically be finished if he can't pass it on for a few generations.

We have to set up a role model! Xu Li asked, "When will this specific relocation work start?"

Xu Li has followed Zhao Kuo for many years and is very familiar with Zhao Kuo's character.

Since Zhao Kuo has already proposed this matter, it means that the matter must be advanced soon, which is in line with Zhao Kuo's decisive style.

Zhao Kuo looked at Xu Li with approval and said with a smile: "You will notify me after you go back and give the people below some preparation time, so it is set to be - seven days.

Seven days later, starting from the Prime Minister’s subordinates, all departments were divided into three batches, one batch every ten days, and all relocations were completed.

As for the officials' residence, aren't there many inns and halls in Taoyi?

You can rent all the inns and halls first and let the officials live temporarily.

Then, I can put my new palace in place first and build the new houses of the officials.”

Zhao Kuo also knew that you can't let the horse run away without giving it to the horse.

Houses in Handan are very expensive. Many middle and lower-level officials in Zhao State worked hard to buy a house in Handan for half their lives and moved to the imperial capital all at once. They couldn’t even have a house, right?

So, Zhao Kuo directly set up a batch of "official houses" first, which is a benefit to these officials and can effectively reduce their resistance to moving the capital.

Guo Zong hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, if you do this, the funds for building a house will not be a problem, but there may not be so many places in the Imperial Capital to build a house."

Guo Zong is Zhao Kuo's financial manager. Of course, he has been to a large commercial city like Taoyi in recent years and is very familiar with it.

A city like Taoyi is like the later generations of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Moreover, Taoyi has another limitation compared to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, that is, Taoyi City has a city wall and the area of ​​the city is fixed.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is worth every inch. Where can so many places be built so many official houses?

You should know that this time, the officials alone cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan to move the capital.

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You just don't have enough eyes to look at the future."

If there are no houses in the city, we will build them outside the city! Things like the city wall should have been eliminated long ago!"

After unifying the six kingdoms in history, Qin Shihuang decisively broke through his thinking and built Xianyang City into the first city without a wall in Chinese history.

Now, Zhao Kuo is going to be the first person! The city wall is a product of the cold weapon era. At that time, the city wall could effectively fight against bows, arrows and swords.

But now, all the explosives have been made. No matter how strong the city wall is, it is just a matter of equivalent in front of the explosives.

So, it's time to eliminate the city walls.

What's more, future commercial cities will not have fixed boundaries like city walls.

Because commercial cities need to continue to expand, if there is a city wall, wouldn’t we have to constantly demolish and build a new city wall?

Whoever has nothing to do with food?

Zhao Kuo issued an announcement: "From now on, except for my palace, the imperial capital will no longer need a new city wall!"

Of course, there must be a wall in the palace. After all, it is impossible for anyone to run in at will, right?

As for other places, there is no need.

The Han ministers present were stunned by what Zhao Kuo said, but they had long been accustomed to Zhao Kuo's idea of ​​transcending the times, and they also agreed with Zhao Kuo's explanation of the relationship between explosives and the city walls.

The right prime minister and the Grand Marshal Li Mu sighed: "Indeed, if there is a city wall, it will be convenient for the offensive party with explosives to surround the defense and annihilate it.

If there is no city wall, the defense can still escape when it cannot be defeated."

Although Li Mu's words are very rough, the truth is not rough.

With the explanations of Zhao Kuo and Li Mu, the ministers naturally had no objection to this matter.

In fact, during the years when Zhao Kuo was in power, ministers could feel the progress of that era, all kinds of new things, and new systems were emerging one after another in the previous period of Zhao State, and most of them were related to Zhao Kuo, which were brought by Zhao Kuo.

This also made the ministers feel in their hearts that if they want to be a good minister of Zhao Kuo, they must not only be capable and loyal, but also be able to keep up with Zhao Kuo's footsteps, otherwise they will be eliminated by the torrent of the times! At this point, this meeting will be over.

After several important officials left, Zhao Kuo's orders were immediately forwarded to Handan and various parts of Zhao.

There is no doubt that this order to move the capital certainly caused a lot of sensation.

For the people of Handan, their mood is actually very complicated.

Once upon a time, as the capital of Zhao State, this city witnessed the victory and power of countless Zhao State.

This is a city that is extremely loyal to Zhao State.

But it is precisely because of this that the loyalty brought by this city's foundation is an invisible threat to the new Han Dynasty.

Now, the Han Kingdom is about to leave here, but Handan will not decline because of this. It will still be the most prosperous city in the Han Kingdom north of the Yellow River, no doubt! This news has also reached the ears of a person with a very special identity.

This person is King Zhao.

Now, after hearing the news that Zhao Kuo had proclaimed himself King of Han, King Zhao was completely in a rage.

For so many days, King Zhao kept shouting, smashing everything that could be smashed wildly.

However, no one paid any attention to him.

Whenever King Zhao wakes up, he will find that the bedroom that was clearly in chaos yesterday was not only cleaned up, but also put on a batch of furnishings.

If these instruments were not for the completely new look, King Zhao would even doubt whether the unique scene in front of him had gone back time.

Then, King Zhao continued to smash it.

Then, the next day everything was brand new.

This kind of scene is repeated again and again.

Until this day, Zhao Kuo appeared.

King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him and was stunned.

Although he cursed Zhao Kuo countless times in his heart, when Zhao Kuo really appeared, King Zhao suddenly realized that he was still a little exhausted.

Zhao Kuo sat down calmly in front of King Zhao and said calmly: "I will leave tomorrow."

The two words "Wiren" obviously hurt King Zhao, causing King Zhao to sneer with an extremely sharp sneer: "What a man, I didn't expect you to be today, my Wu Xinjun."

Of course, King Zhao was unwilling to recognize the title of King Zhao Kuo, the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Kuo didn't care and said calmly: "I came here today mainly to say goodbye to you. After all, we will never see you again from now on."

King Zhao was shocked and subconsciously took two steps back: "You, do you want to kill me?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head: "No, there is no need for that."

For Zhao Kuo, the current King of Zhao is already a mascot-like existence, and it will not cause any threat even if it is kept. Instead, killing him will cause rebellion from some people who still miss Zhao State, which is not worth the loss.

King Zhao then felt a little relieved and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Kuo said: "I have decided to move the capital. From now on, the imperial capital will be the capital of the Han Dynasty. As for Handan, you can continue to live here and in this palace."

King Zhao sneered: "So, I have to thank you if I can live in this palace?"

This was originally a sarcastic sentence, but unexpectedly, Zhao Kuo answered seriously: "You should indeed thank me."

King Zhao was speechless.

Indeed, if Zhao Kuo thought, it only takes one sentence to King Zhao, who had to move out of this palace and spend the rest of his life in a place that was likely to be extremely desolate.

Take Qin Shihuang as an example. The other six kings of the six kings who were destroyed by Qin Shihuang were exiled to wilderness, and then starved to death and died of illness under the gaze of Qin's spies.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo is really kind.
