Han Shizu

Chapter 1048 Kaibao

"47 households, nearly 480 million Dingkou. I knew that the Wuyue land was full of household registrations. My expectations were already high enough, but I didn't expect such a large number, almost no less than the Liangjiang area!" Inside the Chongzheng Palace, Liu The emperor was smiling, and everyone present could feel the joy in his voice.

Lei Dexiang, the envoy of the third division, reported: "Your Majesty, these are only based on the records of Wuyue's registers, and the years of collation are not short, and there are still discrepancies with the actual situation in various states and counties. , the actual number of Dingkou in the two Zhejiang provinces is even bigger than that offered by King Wuyue!"

"After the imperial court takes over Wuyue, like the two rivers, the counting of the population and land measurement should be carried out at the same time. Officials at all levels should be strictly urged to do it rigorously. No concealment or omission is allowed. I want accurate and correct numbers!" Liu Chengyou directly raised his hand, weighed the memorial in his hand, and ordered rather forcefully: "Taking over Jiangsu and Zhejiang is not just enough to accept those albums and books! The population, land, and taxation are all from the three divisions. Pay special attention!"

"Yes! I understand!" Facing the emperor's order, Lei Dexiang hurriedly responded.As the third envoy, in charge of Dahan's finances, of course he dare not slack off on this matter.In fact, after taking over the South, the most busy offices may be the Privy Council and the Ministry of Officials, but the most exciting ones belong to the Third Division. There is no doubt that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the most prosperous and prosperous areas in the world today, and the foundation has been laid. Just waiting for the court to continue to develop and harvest.

There was obviously some excitement between the eyebrows, and Lei Dexiang continued to report the happy situation: "Your Majesty, if you add the people of Wu and Yue, there are now more than 370 million households in Jidingkou, which is already the same as that of Zhenguan. The population at the end of the period is equivalent!"

Knowing that Emperor Liu admired the rule of Zhenguan, Lei Dexiang directly used it as an example, which is intuitive and prominent.During the years when Liu Chengyou was in power, he has been vigorously developing the population and encouraging births. However, after the unification of the south, more than half of the 370 million households were provided by the south. It is also conceivable that in this era, the importance of the south to the empire up.

Seeing the emperor nodding his head, Lei Dexiang continued: "According to the calculations of the ministers and bureaucrats, when the south is completely pacified and restored to stability, if the wealth of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is included, the annual revenue of the imperial court in the future should be around 5 million. The above, the two taxes are collected according to this amount, there should be no problem, and it may even be more. And Jiannan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang may provide more than [-]% of the tax amount.”

Seeing Lei Dexiang's excited expression, Liu Chengyou also smiled, and then seriously said: "This time, King Qian really gave me a great gift to the court!"

You must know that, even now, there are still about 120,000 troops in various parts of Wuyue. With such a large number of troops, not to mention combat power, if Qian Hongchu insists on resisting, even if it is difficult to resist in the end, it will still bring trouble to the court and easily bring troubles to the two Zhejiang provinces. Going to cause chaos is something that Emperor Liu does not want to see.Once these things were considered, Liu Chengyou's impression of Qian Hongchu became better.

"The land of Liangzhe has been handed down to Qian Hongchu since Qian Miao. It lasted for nearly [-] years. There was little turmoil before and after. It has always followed the policy of nourishing and recuperating, so that the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang have received sufficient recuperation and recovery. This achievement , It’s not surprising!” After returning to Tokyo, Tao Gu devoted himself directly to the work of the minister, and he had rested long enough in Hangzhou to participate in the discussion, and at this time he also took the initiative to say:

"However, as far as I know, since Qian Miao's death, the situation in Wuyue has declined a bit. When the king of Wuyue, Qian Hongchu, succeeded to the throne, although he followed the old policy, encouraged farming and mulberry cultivation, and cultivated land, compared with the beginning, the situation is much worse. Without further development, there are not many people in Wuyue who are struggling to make ends meet!"

"Oh!" Listening to what he said, Liu Chengyou looked very interested, but raised his eyebrows a little, and said: "Qing has been in Wuyue for such a long time, it seems that you have gained something, why don't you tell me about it! "

Among the ministers present, Tao Gu was the oldest, but he was the one who showed off the most.Facing the emperor's inquiry, the old man said with a smile on his face: "Let me try to say it. Wuyue is certainly one of the most fertile lands in the world, but there are two main disadvantages.

First, people with limited land, although claiming that there is no abandoned land in the territory, are also a manifestation of insufficient arable land. Contributing generously externally, extravagantly internally, Wuyue also has a lot of pomp and extravagance in the country, so that the production is rich, but the taxation is harsh, and the people are very miserable! "

Taking a glance at Tao Gu, this is the reason why Tao Gu's reputation and prestige in the court is not grand, and he is criticized a lot, but Emperor Liu has always used him and entrusted him with a high position, and even made him the position of chancellor.Being a knowledgeable person, he can often see the problem, and can often speak to Emperor Liu's heart.

"It is inevitable that there will be no extravagance in such a wealthy place. People hope to live a prosperous life, be carefree, and pursue beauty. There is nothing to criticize!" Emperor Liu said with a slight smile, but his tone gradually changed. Li: "However, what I don't want to see is that the rich people's wine and meat stink, and the roads are frozen to death! I want the world to be rich and healthy, but I don't like extravagance and waste.

I heard that in places like Tokyo, Luoyang, and Damingfu, the trend of pleasure has begun to rise in the past two years. The country has not yet been completely unified, and the world has not yet been truly peaceful. , it is far from the time to seek comfort and pleasure."

"Your Majesty taught me a lesson! With a sage king like this, why worry about the ruin of the world, the lack of wealth in the country, and the well-being of the living beings around the world?" Tao Gu hurriedly echoed, although he was usually the most covetous among all the ministers present. enjoy.

"Lu Yin, draw up an imperial edict in my name, proclaiming it to the world, advocating frugality and prohibiting extravagance!" Liu Chengyou ordered to Lu Yin following some off-topic topics.

"Yes!"

Taking a deep breath and calming down the sudden excitement, Liu Chengyou waved his hand and said: "The disadvantages of Wuyue are similar to Jiangnan, how to correct them, the imperial court still needs to come up with a practical policy Ways! However, if you want to govern, the first thing is to select officials. In the land of Liangjiang, I plan to send Fan Zhi to preside over it. In the Wuyue area, who should be appointed? Do you have any suggestions?"

Upon hearing this, Dou Yi, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, reported in a responsible manner: "Your Majesty, I think that Zan Jurun can be appointed. Mr. Zan has rich experience in governance and outstanding ability. He has been in Hunan for eight years and has restored order to the dilapidated Hunan. , Outstanding political achievements, can be set as an example! Given the complexity of the people in Hunan, Mr. Zan is still able to govern it with ease, and Wu Yue is newly attached, and I think he is worthy of the job!"

"Yes!" Emperor Liu affirmed his recommendation with a single word.

Among the ministers present, besides Wei Renpu, Dou Yi, Lei Dexiang, and Lu Yin, there are also new faces. However, although the faces are new, the people are old people. Make Wang Pu.Today's Wang Pu is over the age of no doubt, Emperor Liu felt that he could be transferred back to the capital, and said to him directly: "Wang Qing, the next three divisions will be more difficult, and I hope that I will work hard to serve as the household department in the court." Shangshu!"

Wang Pu was not too surprised, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

"Xue Juzheng and other ministers suggested to me that the yuan should be changed next year, what do you think?" Liu Chengyou asked suddenly.

In this regard, Wei Renpu, as the head of the ministers, spoke on behalf of the ministers, saying: "Your Majesty, now the whole country is united, the world has been restructured, the great Han has been rebuilt, and the universe has a new look. I think that the year name should be changed to meet the current situation and destiny!"

"What about you?" Liu Chengyou looked at the others again.

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou thought about it for a while and then nodded.

"Since all the ministers agree, let's change it!" Liu Chengyou smiled lightly and said, "Then discuss the new year name!"

Hearing this, all the ministers were interested, and immediately began to use their brains. However, before anyone suggested it, Emperor Liu suddenly said forcefully: "My intention has been decided, change the yuan to open the treasure!"
