Chapter 729 Moving the capital to establish the country
Lu Songli and his group took five days to return to Changli, Pingzhou.
At this time, many officials had already proposed to move the prefecture government from Changli to southern Youzhou, and some even proposed to build a country.
After all, Pingzhou now has seven states and is comparable to Dali.
At present, Dali only has seven or eight states in real terms.
It’s just that its territory is larger than that of Pingzhou, twice that of Pingzhou.
However, in terms of population, the entire Pingzhou force has a population of about 8 million.
This time, Pingzhou captured four states, but unfortunately only three states in Dali brought the population, and the territory of the state-sized state given by the Xianbei had no population. At the same time, due to Pingzhou’s successive victory in the war, a lot of people flowed into the surrounding areas adjacent to Dali.
At this time, except for those who died in the war, the population of Pingzhou forces has become equal to that of Dali.
Lu Songli was also considering it.
Sima Fa said that if the reward does not exceed the time, he would like to seek the benefit of doing good things quickly. If the punishment is not transferred, it is a bad harm to the people who are quick to regulate.
The meaning of this is that it is not enough for the monarch to be able to distinguish between rewards and punishments, and the rewards must be fulfilled in a timely manner, such as to enable the people to quickly see the benefits of doing good deeds and play a role in encouraging the people. Punishment is executed on the spot in order to enable the people to quickly see the consequences of doing bad things.
This time, Pingzhou took the initiative to defeat four major prefectures. It is time for the civil and military officials of Pingzhou to make such great contributions.
So Lu Songli said in front of everyone, “This time, you all have made great contributions! Whether it is the military generals who are brave enough to fight the enemy on the front line or the civil servants who are assisting in the rear, they will be rewarded!”
At this time, the civil servants and generals in Pingzhou were all excited when they heard this. Someone took the lead in asking, “Governor, what about the establishment of a country?”
As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone couldn’t help looking at the governor Lu Songli, who made achievements and made a title of marquis and ministers. This is their dream.
Of course, not everyone here hopes that Pingzhou will be founded at this time. These people are Pei Zheng and Wei Kuang. They have just joined Pingzhou and have not made much contribution. At this time, the country was established, and then rewarded for its merits. What good position can their meager credit and qualifications have?
It’s better not to establish a country first and give them time to work hard.
Lu Songli smiled slightly and said, “I can understand everyone’s feelings, but it is not the time to establish the country. Next, if nothing unexpected happens, in the free trading area of Qing, Xu and Yanzhou, we will have a tough battle to fight in Pingzhou, Dali and Xianbei. Good steel needs to be used on the blade, and the founding of the country involves too much.Such as personnel, money and food, so I said this is not the time yet. As for moving the capital, the same is true. “
The founding of the country was rejected by Lu Songli on the grounds of exhausting the people and causing money.
Everyone realized that the governor did not have the intention to establish the country at this time, so they pressed their minds one by one.
Then, Lu Songli called her father, Qin Heng, Xue Xu, Guo Chong, Dong Jichuan and others, and began to formulate standards for rewards.
On the way back with Xue Xu and Xian Feng and Zhang Cheng, Xian Feng was very puzzled, “Second uncle, the governor does not consider establishing a country for the time being, so he can move the capital. “
Zhang Cheng also said, “Yes, if you don’t establish a country, you can move the capital. “
Xue Xu didn’t say anything. Of course he knew that Pingzhou had to move the capital now.
Changli, the Pingzhou government center, is good, but it is obvious that this area has already belonged to the rear. The next war center must be the competition for the heartland of the Central Plains.
If Pingzhou’s government center can be moved closer, such as moving to the southern part of Youzhou, it would be great, and all kinds of responses would be more timely.
But moving the capital involves the establishment of a country.
He could probably figure out the thoughts of the governor, but he could not say it.
