Regardless of the entanglements between foreign forces, the development of Xia State is proceeding step by step according to the plan.

Since the completion of the previous ten-year plan in the 18th year of the Apocalypse, in the new ten-year plan, in addition to completing the construction of the new capital of Xia Kingdom, it is a major development of the territory outside the pass.

In the 25th year of the Apocalypse, the main body of the Zhongjing Central Palace was first completed, followed by the renovation and decoration of the palace.

At the same time, the innermost circle of Zhongjing has been completed, and has begun to take shape, and the rest is under continuous construction.

In the design, Zhongjing has a big feature, that is, there is no city wall. Except for the large scale of Zhongjing, it is difficult to build a city wall, Yang Song felt that there was no big difference between whether there was a city wall or not.

If there is any change in the country in the future, the city walls will not have much effect when facing thermal weapons.

If foreign enemies invade, there is Shanhai Pass in the north and Tianqian Pass in the south. If neither of these two passes can stop the enemy, what's the use of the city wall of Zhongjing?

As for the idea that Xu Xiake had mentioned before, the water from the Beigui River entered the moat was useless, but Zhongjing was close to the river, which was still very beneficial for urban water use.

According to the appearance of Tianqi City, street planning and underground pipeline design are carried out to ensure the scientific and practicality of rainwater, sewage and drinking water in Zhongjing.

Yang Song even thought about the streets even further. He was not until the future that the vehicles would congestion in urban traffic. He specifically ordered the planning officials of the Works Department to say that the streets could only be wide but not narrow.

In addition to the construction plan of Zhongjing City, several cities have been added to the land north of Shanhaiguan, and the railway connecting the north is also being built.

After years of construction, the railway has been extended from Shanhaiguan to north of Yongsheng City and is continuing to extend to the northernmost Jiehe City.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Xia Kingdom had only so much steel production, as well as the control of railway construction, and the comprehensive balance considerations of all parties in the Xia Kingdom, if the railway was built alone, the railway was constructed simultaneously, and this section of more than 800 kilometers would have been completed long ago.

...

In the 28th year of the Apocalypse, after Yang Song learned that the initial construction of Zhongjing was completed, he immediately decided to move the capital.

However, the scale of Xia State is so large that even if it moves the capital, it will affect the whole body. Therefore, if Xia State wants to move the capital from Tianqi City to Zhongjing, it is still not urgent, and can only do it step by step.

Fortunately, Xia State has railways and convenient means of transportation such as trains, so moving will not become an act of "disastering the country and the people".

The first one to relocate was Yang Song's family in the palace. For this reason, the Imperial Guards and the Jinyiwei split up a part of them to garrison Zhongjing first.

Then Yang Song and his family took important ministers and institutional information in the City of Tianqi and boarded the train to the north.

Then the important personnel, the families of generals, headquarters of various industries, important schools, factories, etc., were all moved to Zhongjing.

Finally, it is about the people living in Zhongjing. This is all based on the voluntary nature of all the people in Xia State. Zhongjing's real estate is also sold to the public. As long as you can buy it, you can live in Zhongjing.

After all this is done, time has come to the thirty years of the Apocalypse. It is also this year that something very big will happen in the Xia Kingdom - Jianyuan proclaims himself emperor!

Because the Xia State was moved to the capital, a new atmosphere enveloped the Xia State, which made the ministers have a different mindset.

I don’t know who started it. Maybe it was because the important officials had a deep understanding, maybe it was because the Xia Kingdom had reached this point.

No matter what, such a thing was finally mentioned before Yang Song. Seeing that this atmosphere was not something Yang Song could refuse, he didn't want to refuse!

As soon as the decision to proclaim himself emperor was implemented, the whole country of Xia was happy and excited. It was a scene of joy in the whole country - this was just certain, and it had not been carried out yet!

The people were happy at that time, but the city of Zhongjing was very busy. Not only were the ministers very busy, but even Yang Song did not feel relaxed.

It is not that simple to be called emperor and change the reign, at least there have been great changes in the administrative structure.

"Bowen, after you become emperor, your military advisor's position will change." Yang Song was discussing the institutional reform with Liu Ji, Li Jing, Xun Yu, Chen Ping and others in the deliberation cabinet in Zhongjing's new royal palace.

Yang Song asked Liu Ji: "What position does Bowen want to hold? Administrative, judicial, military or something else?"

"When I go back to the king, I am the one who is in charge of my position." After Liu Ji bowed his hand and answered, he smiled and continued, "If the king agrees, I will be willing to be a commoner."

"Haha, I don't want Bowen to be a leisurely farmer." Yang Song laughed and said, "It's not just Bowen, but also the pharmacist. Wenruo, if you all run away, who will I ask to manage the Xia Kingdom?"

After laughing, Yang Song thought for a while and said to Liu Ji: "After I become emperor, the court will also establish the Hanlin Academy in addition to other departments, so Bowen will be the president."

When Yang Song saw the rest of the people waiting for him to see the following, he continued to explain: "The Hanlin Academy is a counselor, think tank, and a reserve of senior talents established by me. If you want to attend the official of the Political Hall in the future, you must first study and intern in the Hanlin Academy!"

Yang Song’s meaning is already very obvious. The Hanlin Academy is a channel for officials to enter the court and is also the source of senior officials in the Xia Kingdom in the future.

After hearing this, Liu Ji certainly knew the importance of this department. He hurriedly stood up and bowed and said, "I thank you for your kindness, King Long!"

If Yang Song hadn't held the throne ceremony to proclaim himself emperor, he could have actually called him "Your Majesty".

After Yang Song decided on Liu Ji's position, he looked at Xun Yu and said, "There will be no prime minister after the Xia Kingdom, only each cabinet and a ministry. Wen Ruo will serve as the head of the Zheng Pavilion in the future!"

"I obey the order!" Xun Yu had known this for a long time. Judging from the previous system, Yang Song had already divided the powers.

Finally, Yang Song looked at the others and said, "In addition to the government cabinet in charge of administration, there are military cabinets in charge of military affairs, courtyard cabinets, government cabinets, finance cabinets, etc., as well as various departments and departments."

"In general, the court will be divided into five pavilions, two departments and one courtyard." As he said, Yang Song pointed to the booklet distributed to everyone and said, "It's all written in it. Please go back and take a look. If there is any problem, you need timely feedback."

"In addition..." Yang Song looked at everyone, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Now the territory of Xia Kingdom is very vast, with more than four million square kilometers. The county system is insufficient. Only a 'state' level should be established above the county."

"The king is wise." Xun Yu immediately agreed when he heard this. He had enough feelings about this. Xun Yu then asked, "Dare you ask the king, how many states are divided into our country?"

"This is what Wenruo, you have to consider." Yang Song smiled. He handed over the burden to his subordinates.

Later, Yang Song discussed the rest of the matters with everyone. When everything was ready, Yang Song's ceremony to proclaim himself will be held as scheduled.

On the ninth day of the 30th year of the Apocalypse, Zhongjing finally cleared after several consecutive rainy days, and Yang Song's emperor ceremony will also be held in Zhongjing after being baptized by wind and rain!
Chapter completed!
