Chapter 2352: Groundwork
Emperor Yang Zhou nodded thoughtfully.
He didn’t think too much about this matter in the past.
Because there was no need for him to be concerned about this and the ministers didn’t say anything. Moreover, the generals were indeed very capable.
But no matter how capable they were, they were also human beings.
Human beings with limitation.
Rather than pushing these generals to the limit of their capabilities, it would be better for them to provide as much help as possible to reduce the burden on these generals’ shoulders. Because only in this way would it be possible for Fei Yang Kingdom to truly thrive.
“If Your Majesty didn’t want this plan, we can also set a branch office where the strategist gather near the border,” Prime Minister Xian, taking a step back.
He knew that moving the capital city would be difficult. If it truly couldn’t be done, there were also other methods they could use such as setting up a team to stay near the border to help. In that situation, when they really needed it, they would be able to step forward.
Even if Emperor Yang Zhou didn’t know the situation right away, there would be someone else who could respond to this.
“No.” Emperor Yang Zhou shook his head.
If he were to set that kind of thing up, the power in his hand would be divided. This might create another precedent for the separation of the younger generations and eventually caused another war era.
Emperor Yang Zhou didn’t want that to happen.
Moreover, if he were to stay near the frontline, the soldiers’ morale would also increase.
Because of his presence.
Even if Emperor Yang Zhou knew that he himself is also a human being, his position was more than enough to make many people sacrifice their lives for him. Even if they knew that their sacrifice might not worth much or that they wouldn’t be remembered, many people still chose to take this action.
Because it is their belief.
Emperor Yang Zhou didn’t really want to make use of this, but he also knew that he had to.
This would be the way for Fei Yang Kingdom to survive and thrive.
“I’ll go there,” Emperor Yang Zhou said calmly. He looked at Prime Minister Lan and Prime Minister Xian in front of him. “Make preparation to move the Capital City!”
“Yes!!!”
The ministers were shocked by Emperor Yang Zhou’s words, but they all agreed with his words.
The explanation from Prime Minister Xian had told them that even if they were to work hard for a long time, they couldn’t help much from here. But once they were near the frontline, the effect of their order could possibly change the situation on the battlefield.
“Where do you plan to go, Your Majesty?” Prime Minister Lan calmed down his turbulent heart and took out a map to put in front of Emperor Yang Zhou.
Emperor Yang Zhou looked at the map in front of him and fell into silent. There were many options for him to choose.
“Is it Liang City?” One of the ministers suggested.
Liang City used to be Zhang Xu Kingdom’s Capital City and also the place where everything started. The former kingdom who used to rule the land used Liang City as their main capital city and then expanded from there.
Though, if one had to say, Liang City’s position was not that far from Fei Yang Kingdom’s current Capital City. It was still quite far from the north.
Because of Liang City’s position, the Imperial Family in the past also sent their people to the north separately. This was what eventually caused the separation and the rise of several kingdoms.
“No.” Emperor Yang Zhou refused that notion.
He looked at the map and moved his eyes to Fan Yi Kingdom’s former Capital City. The capital city that Fan Yi Kingdom designated before they moved away to the second capital city was actually quite good.
It was not that far from the north and could provide help.
But at the same time, the terrains around the city was not very suitable for defense. It could be said that the land over there was also quite barren and many things required them to buy from other areas.
But Fan Yi Kingdom chose that area without hesitation.
Moving his eyes away, Emperor Yang Zhou looked at the city where Fan Yi Kingdom built their temporary capital city.
The city has been destroyed as Great General Wei’s order.
But the terrain there…
There was also a river that was connected to the main river, which would facilitate many things.
“Rebuild this city.” Emperor Yang Zhou pointed in that position.
Everyone’s expression changed when they saw Emperor Yang Zhou’s decision.
Prime Minister Xian was thoughtful and considered the possibility of moving the capital city to that position. While it was not exactly the best position, but it could also provide army and the place was easy to defend and hard to attack.
For a capital city, they had to be built in a way that would make it harder for others to attack.
Otherwise, they would risk their capital city falling to other kingdoms’ hand.
Prime Minister Lan looked astonished and then his lips twitched when he thought about the repair costs. Because the generals were a bit too violent this time, the entire wall collapsed.
If they were asked to build the entire city from scratch…
Prime Minister Lan wanted to weep at the large amount of money that he had to spend.
It was not his money, yes, but it was the kingdom’s money.
The money has been accumulated for years and the war had already depleted many resources on their side. If they still has to pay a lot of money for the sake of the building walls, Prime Minister Lan sighed deeply.
The other ministers were also looking at the map with various expression.
But most of them didn’t show any objection and only confusion.
They looked at the two prime ministers as they were the ones who will decide in the end.
