    The advantage of Guanzhong lies in its fertile land, high position, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be used as the foundation of a country. Many people know this!

    Therefore, when the world was in chaos, Xiao Yi was the first to send troops to Guanzhong and firmly control it. For more than 20 years, what the Cao family and his son have been thinking about day and night is to seize this treasure land, but unfortunately they have never succeeded.  !

    This time Zhuge Liang¡¯s Northern Expedition was actually aimed at Guanzhong, trying to repeat the path of the rise of the Western Han Dynasty, first settling in Guanzhong and then conquering the world!

    But, there are great benefits in Guanzhong, and there are also great frustrations, but they have not been revealed for the time being. Xiao Yi asked this question today because he wanted to test his son's political vision and ability to control the future!

    "Reporting back to my father, my son has been in Guanzhong for several years and is quite familiar with this land. It has abundant resources, natural treasures and outstanding people. It is definitely a rare place for Longxing. Is there any disadvantage? I think Guanzhong is still a bit small, and it is difficult to store grain.  If there is less, it will be a little harder to communicate with the outside world!¡±

    "Haha, yes, my son has a bright eye and is willing to think hard. He can take on big responsibilities in the future!"

    Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction. His son hit the nail on the head and pointed out the two major disadvantages of Guanzhong: narrowness and danger!

    ?? Guanzhong is a long and narrow plain area with a length of more than 600 miles from east to west, a width of more than 200 miles from north to south, and a narrowest point of only more than 60 miles. The land that can be cultivated and the resources that can be utilized are relatively limited.

    Moreover, Guanzhong is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and soil erosion is very serious. Coupled with hundreds of years of development and utilization in the Qin and Han dynasties, most of the land has been consumed. Many fertile fields have been turned into sandy fields. Grain production is decreasing year by year, and the forest area has also decreased sharply.  Small, there is a serious shortage of mineable minerals!

    While the materials produced in Guanzhong are self-sufficient, they also need to supply the entire northwest region, especially the huge garrison along the Great Wall. This is where the two major civilizations of farming and nomadism meet. Wars are continuous and materials are consumed extremely!

    It may not matter now. If the capital is Guanzhong in the future, the population will inevitably expand rapidly (one of the habits of Chinese people is to run to the capital). Once its carrying capacity is exceeded, there will be a large-scale food shortage, and other supplies will not be sufficient.  supply!

    What to do if there is not enough food? Naturally, it is transferred from the local areas to the central government. The emperor and the civil and military officials cannot be hungry. At this time, the second shortcoming of Guanzhong emerges: danger!

    The mountains and rivers in Guanzhong are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is very advantageous to fight a war, but it suffers a big loss when transporting materials. Someone once calculated that if 10,000 dendrobium grains were transported from Henan and Yanzhou to Guanzhong, only 300 dendrobium arrived.  Left and right, the loss along the way is as high as 34:1.

    If you transport grain from Qingzhou and Jizhou, you have to cross the Taihang Mountains, cross the Yellow River twice, and then climb the Loess Plateau. The loss along the way is as high as 120:1.

    And during the transportation process, a large amount of manpower, animal power, vehicles, and ships are consumed, which makes the people exhausted and unable to live and work in peace and contentment. If things go on like this, it will be enough to impoverish and bring down a large empire!

    As a time traveler, Xiao Yi clearly remembers that the ills in Guanzhong completely broke out three to four hundred years later, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, so much so that the emperors of these two generations often brought their palaces to Luoyang for meals.  ', and the process was quite embarrassing!

    For example, in the fourth and fourteenth years of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, there were two major famines in the Guanzhong area. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty led the people to eat in Luoyang. The roads along the way were rugged, making it difficult for carriages and horses to move, and the people kept crying. But this was relatively lucky.  Of!

    In the first year of Yongchun of the Tang Dynasty, there was a famine in the Guanzhong area. Gaozong Li Zhi asked the prince to stay in Chang'an, and he led the court to Luoyang to "eat". Due to the emergency and the hasty travel, some of the entourage died of starvation on the way, which shows how miserable it was.

    Later, Wu Zetian abolished the Tang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty, and moved the capital from Chang'an to Luoyang. Of course, it was to eliminate Li Tang's influence and make the court full. It was also one of the important reasons!

    And in the dynasties after the Tang Dynasty, no one had their capital in Guanzhong, because the shortcomings of Guanzhong were all obvious, and no one wanted to go hungry, let alone bring the country down!

    Now in line with the general trend of the world, the Xiao family must take root and rise in Guanzhong, and later make its capital Guanzhong. And after enjoying the benefits, it must also face the consequent disadvantages!

    If you don't plan for the future, you can only plan for a moment. As the founder of a great empire, Xiao Yi doesn't want his descendants to take the people to flee everywhere. Therefore, in his own lifetime, he must plan the future path well so that his descendants can  It would be best to go on a smooth journey for thousands of years, or even ten thousand years!

    "The disadvantages of Guanzhong are its small area, limited resources, and transportation difficulties. These problems will break out sooner or later. If my sonIt is a political mission, but I am unable to solve this problem, and I cannot leave it to future generations. What should I do Well, there is a way!

    "Father has the wisdom of heaven and man. He must have a way to solve the problems in Guanzhong. I hope he can teach his son, right?"

    You can't bring trouble to your descendants, but you can eat your old age. Xiao Xuan blinked his eyes, with a cute smile on his face. As long as he behaved like this when he was a child, all his wishes would be fulfilled. If it still didn't work, he would lose his gold.  bean!  ¡¯

    In the minds of children, their father is omnipotent and can solve all problems. However, as they grow older, this naive idea will gradually disappear. Fathers are also mortals and sometimes they are unable to do what they want!

    But for the children of the Xiao family, this idea has never disappeared, but has become stronger and stronger. Their father is like a god, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipotent!

    "Haha, you cunning little fox, you are too lazy to use your brain, just like relying on me, then I will teach you something, you must keep it in your heart, and tell the descendants of the Xiao family, if one day, Guanzhong is unable to support  , then make an immediate decision and move the capital somewhere else!"

    "Moving the capital, where should we go?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
