The heavens are kings, starting with Qing Prince Li Chengqian

On this day, under the protection of [-] Imperial Guards, countless former dignitaries and dignitaries left the capital with their families along with the flow of people.

Li Chengqian's driver is in the first place, and the imperial guards are separated on both sides.

This move of the capital seems to be a lot of noise, but in fact, there are only [-] people who really want to leave with the move.

Most of them include family servants.

The most conspicuous ones are naturally the carriages that pull huge amounts of wealth.

This is already the remaining wealth after paying all kinds of taxes, but it is already extremely amazing.

However, today's Qing Kingdom doesn't care much about these wealth.

After more than a month of tax reform, there is already a mountain of wealth in the treasury.

And this is just the income of the city of Kyoto.

Even if all parts of the Qing Kingdom can't be compared with Kyoto, they can't be compared with Kyoto alone.

Once the new tax policy is implemented, the state treasury will be full beyond the limit of everyone's imagination.

With enough money, no matter what policy is implemented, I am afraid that it will be more convenient than imagined.

Of course, careful planning is required to prevent officials from playing tricks.

In the corner of the convoy, Guo Baokun stared blankly at the scene outside the carriage, always feeling a little unreal.

"Father, are we really leaving Kyoto?"

On the side, Guo Youzhi, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, slapped Guo Baokun on the head.

Guo Baokun let out a cry.

"Oh, Dad, it hurts!"

"Knowing it hurts and still asking if it's true or not, it's stupid."

Guo Youzhi was full of disgust.

Guo Baokun said angrily: "Father, no, why does Your Majesty have to move the capital? Also, the taxes are too harsh. My Guo family's huge family property is now less than one ten thousand mu of fertile land, let alone sold to the government. , I have to pay the tax again, 10,000+ taels of silver, and the one who got it is less than 1 taels, which is simply a steal.

Father, you were the prince's teacher before, but your Majesty doesn't show affection at all? "

Snapped!
Guo Youzhi slapped him without hesitation.

"If you want to die, you should find a rope to hang yourself earlier, don't implicate the lives of dozens of people in the Guo family."

He looked serious.

"Moving the capital is because Your Majesty has the heart to rule the world. Nanjing City is located at a critical point. Once a war with Northern Qi starts, it will bear the brunt. Moving the capital to Nanjing means that this war is not only inevitable, but also has no way out. It is a desperate move.

As for taxation, this is a national policy. As the Minister of Rites, I can only support the two words. If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame your father for killing your relatives! "

Guo Baokun was taken aback, he had rarely seen his father so solemn, especially the cold look on his face, which made him not doubt the weight of the word "justice and killing relatives".

His face was pale, and he knelt down in panic.

"The child knows it's wrong, father, please calm down."

Seeing Guo Baokun's appearance, Guo Youzhi's expression eased a lot. He helped Guo Baokun up, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty today is different from the past, but all the emperors recorded in history are different. If you are against His Majesty, even the so-called Great Master There is no place to die, let alone you and me?

What's the use of being high and powerful without real strength? "

As he spoke, his expression became a little heavy.

"Do you know that in just over a month, it takes a lot of energy and manpower to check the population and acres of the entire capital and collect such a huge tax, so that the capital can still maintain its current stability?
Although His Majesty has not officially ascended the throne, there are not a few capable and capable people under his command.

It is already a rare thing for our Guo family to be able to follow the new king to move the capital safely.

You will understand later. "

Guo Baokun lowered his head and remained silent. The son of the Minister of Rites, he used to be able to dominate the market with this identity, but now, he is in constant fear.

He always felt that this country, and even the whole world, would usher in a great change.

Haohaotangtang, just glimpsed a trace of signs, and the world has been turned upside down.

……

Li Chengqian and his party did not go straight to the north, but first detoured Jiangnan Road, then crossed Jiangbei Road, passed Dongshan Road, crossed Cangzhou Road, crossed Taiyuan Road, and finally crossed Wudu River to Nanjing City.

After several months, the team that once included about 20 people from the imperial army has expanded to more than [-] people.

A brief meeting with the five-way governor, wherever he goes, the policy will be implemented wherever he goes.

With the Overwatch Council standing around everywhere, it didn't take much time.

The main reason is that it is not as good as Kyoto in terms of detail.

However, thanks to the efforts of various forces, the implementation of the New Deal is fairly smooth.

The 15 people who came here are naturally the group of people with top reputation and wealth in various places.

Most of them belong to noble families, and they treat the localities more loosely than in Kyoto.

Of course, the main reason is that time is tight.

The follow-up will naturally be perfected one by one.

And the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty that was conquered by the Qing Kingdom only had seven land boundaries.

Apart from these five roads, only Jingdu Road and Xiliang Road remain.

Needless to say the former, the latter is famous for its vast land and sparse population.

Adjacent to Xihu, the Zhengxi camp led by the first prince is mainly in charge, but there is no noble family.

It can be said that Li Chengqian has almost wiped out most of the upper-class forces in the entire Qing Kingdom.

Naturally, no one wanted to resist during the process.

However, when Wan Jian was in the air, all resistance was meaningless.

Along the way, although Li Chengqian selected some men from various armies and gathered [-] soldiers and horses, there were more than [-] men who needed to be guarded.

If it weren't for Li Chengqian's Wanjian facing the sky, clearing away everyone's unpredictability, I'm afraid it would be difficult to cross thousands of miles in such a stable manner in a few months.

Even if you have made enough preparations, it will be extremely torturous when the time is extended to several months.

But even so, the former so-called nobles almost did their duty, as if they were honest and sincere ordinary people, and they were extraordinarily well-behaved.

The reason why the former nobles were able to override the common people and regard the common people as pigs and dogs was simply because they had mastered the power that the common people could not resist.

Whether it is power or wealth, they are all part of this power.

But now Li Chengqian is just repaying him with his way.

Even, now that he has thousands of great powers in one body, he is much more direct and simpler than those so-called nobles who used various means to bully others.

He clearly told everyone that those who resist will die.

Unless someone has enough confidence and gathers enough strength, anyone who doesn't want to die will naturally have to choose obedience honestly.

It is worth mentioning that on the way to Nanjing City, Qin Ye, who was the general of the Qing Dynasty, was 'invited' by Li Chengqian's decree, stepped down from the military power, and spent his days chatting with Emperor Qing every day.

In this way, when the first heavy snow fell, the city of Nanjing was already in sight. (end of this chapter)
