The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 612 Volume 8 Moling Becomes Jinling

Moling.

After the emperor crossed the river, he stopped his ceremonial procession here.

"Jinling is truly magnificent!"

There is the Yangtze River in front and Zhongshan Mountain at the back.

No wonder the King of Chu chose this place as the capital of the later Chu State, intending to use it to resist the Qin State, which was already at its peak at that time.

Even after crossing such a natural danger, I still feel scared when I look back!
Xun You, the Minister of Rites, reminded the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is Moling, not Jinling."

After Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he went on a tour to Nanjing in the south. Fearing the prophecy that "Jinling has the aura of a king", he dug up the hills of Nanjing and changed its name to Moling.

The fodder is the grain for horses.

From a place of gold to a lowly valley of grass, the city of Moling has been neglected intentionally or unintentionally for the next four hundred years.

But today, Liu Xie felt that he needed to change Zulong's habit of changing his name whenever he disagreed with something.

"This is the place where the Wu Kingdom was founded. It was created by Taibo and spread to Yanling. It is the place where the upright and upright are displayed and the high moral character is promoted. He established great virtues and accomplished great deeds, and no one in the world can compare with him. He established customs by being humble and modest, and easily escaped from thousands of chariots. If we talk about the capital in terms of land, it is not what other countries can aspire to."

"So his strategy is in line with the stars. He expanded the territory and made great achievements in annexation. He included Ganyue and stepped on the barbarians and Jing. Wu Nu placed his star on the moon and Yi Zhen placed his spirit on the moon. He pointed to Heng Yue to control the wilderness and looked at Longchuan to cover the land."

"Such a place blessed by nature should not be named 'Moling' just because the Qin Emperor was afraid of it."

"From today on, this place will once again be called Jinling!"

After four hundred years of waiting, Jinling City finally had someone to wipe off the dirt and reveal its true colors.

Its color is gold!

Naturally, no one around tried to dissuade him.

The emperor wants to change his name, and it is a name left by Qin Shihuang. Isn't this politically correct in the Han Dynasty?

Some senior officials think more deeply.

"The emperor changed Moling to Jinling, probably to appease the people of Jiangdong."

Changing the humble name "Moling" to "Jinling", a name that looks high-end and classy, ​​has implicitly hinted at the emperor's attitude towards Jiangdong.

If the emperor really had any grudge against Jiangdong, why would he give Jiangdong such a name?

Whether from a historical perspective or from a realistic perspective, there is nothing wrong with the emperor changing his name!

As for Liu Xie...I didn't think that much about it.

The importance of Jinling is beyond doubt.

Whether it is the future development and utilization of the Yangtze River waterway or the continuous expansion of ocean trade, Jinling will soon become a true super city of the Han Dynasty!
By then, apart from Chang'an and Luoyang, it is estimated that no other city will be able to surpass Jinling.

Even though Jinling still looks a bit shabby now, it will definitely be a hen that lays golden eggs in the future!
The name was changed to "Jinling" because Liu Xie simply thought that this place absolutely deserved this name!
"Your Majesty, Wu Fen has sorted out the Jiangdong state cloth and roster, and requests the emperor to check them!"

After Sun Quan and Gu Yong left, Wu Fen led the remaining officials to surrender to the emperor.
Wu Fen is the son of Wu Jing.

Wu Jing was the younger brother of Sun Jian's wife, Wu, the mother of Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang and others.

Now that the emperor has married Sun Shangxiang, from a certain perspective, Wu Fen can actually be considered the cousin of the emperor Liu Xie...

"Bombu Roster?"

Liu Xie shook his head slightly.

It’s not that I have a problem with Wu Fen, but I have a problem with those things.

"When the local governments in Jiangdong were compiling their accounts, they certainly didn't include the farms, private lands, slaves and servants of the noble families."

"These are the big ones. There's no need to look at those Bombs and rosters."

"During this period of time, I will stay in Jinling and check these things thoroughly, and then distribute the land equally."

……

Zhong Yao, who was in charge of sorting out the household registration, actually understood these principles. Jiangdong... No! It should be the entire Guandong. Those official roster of Bangbu is simply a piece of waste paper! You can't even look at it!
And this is not the first time that the imperial court has done such a thing.

Jingzhou and Hebei are actually the same!

Only the data from Cao Cao and Gongsun Du, two princes who were slightly more brutal towards the aristocratic families, are worth looking at. The data from the others are simply horrific!
but……

"Your Majesty still needs to meet him to reassure the people of Jiangdong."

Now most of the big families have obtained tickets to the treasure island and followed Sun Quan and Gu Yong to the sea.

The rest are mostly middle-level people who are neither high nor low.

These people must still be worried, not knowing how the emperor will treat them.

When I first arrived in Jiangdong, even if I was acting, I had to finish the show.

Liu Xie frowned.

He has never been interested in such occasions.

But there is nothing wrong with what Zhong Yao said.

When the emperor first arrived in Jiangdong, even something like changing his name was enough to cause countless people to speculate.

If Liu Xie really ignored Wu Fen and caused misunderstanding among the people of Jiangdong, it would actually be a bad thing.

"Okay, I will follow Yuan Chang's words."

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Zhong Yao was obviously relieved.

However, Liu Xie also smiled and said, "I promised Yuan Chang one thing, and Yuan Chang must also promise me one thing."

"The name 'Jinling' is truly magnificent. Yuan Chang, can you please write a plaque for me and hang it on the city gate?"

Although Liu Xie's calligraphy can be considered neat, it is far from being "excellent".

However, Zhong Yao is a real master of calligraphy, and such professional matters should be left to professionals.

Zhong Yao initially thought it was something...

When he heard that it was just a suggestion, he agreed immediately!
soon.

Zhong Yao then wrote the two big characters "Jinling". His writing flowed like a dragon, and he really did depict the beauty of mountains and rivers, which drew praises from the emperor and those around him.

Zhong Yao looked embarrassed and said, "In fact, it would be better if Your Majesty came up with the idea yourself."

"What are you talking about, Yuan Chang? How can my handwriting be so ugly on this?"

"There is a certain order of learning, and there is a specialization in the art."

"Yuan Chang, you don't think that I don't have any self-awareness, do you?"

Some officials around him who did not know the emperor looked at him in disbelief, while those who were familiar with him laughed out loud.

"Alright! Let's go! Let's go to the banquet! There are still many things to do in Jiangdong!"

Destroy first, then build!
Use the big man's sword to plow Jiangdong thoroughly, and then you can make Jiangdong into your own shape!

"Wenyuan, you will be stationed in Zhenjiang and be in charge of Danyang County. Find out all the land and household registrations there... Although Sun Quan and Gu Yong are gone, it is unlikely that someone would hide the land and household registrations, but there is always a chance of something happening. After the investigation is complete, you can directly distribute the land on the spot."

"Here!"

"Zixun went to Kuaiji County."

"Gongming is heading to Wujun."

"Let me go to Yuzhang County tomorrow."

"As for Luling County... I'll have to trouble Yun Chang to make a trip."

For each county, a pillar of state is sent to take charge!
The emperor's posture clearly shows that he wants to turn Jiangdong upside down and completely clean out this last hiding place for the aristocratic families and the frivolous Confucian scholars! (End of this chapter)
