Emperor Liu Hong

() "Made, this confidant's trouble has finally been completely put down."

Holding the good news in his hand, Liu Hong was so excited that he didn't know what to say.And those ministers, similar to Liu Hong, were only excited.

Not only Liu Hong and these ministers are excited, but at this moment, the whole big man can be regarded as the joy of the whole country.The elated people spontaneously came to the street to celebrate.There are some singing and some dancing, anyway, whatever the joy.

This victory is really too big.First, Liu Hongyu drove his own conquest, annihilating Xianbei, Goguryeo and Karasuma, directly expanding the territory of the Han Dynasty by more than double.But this time, he directly wiped out all the foreign races on the grassland, which can be regarded as a big man, winning eternal peace.So such a thing, no matter how much you celebrate, you can't exaggerate it.

Daqing lasted for ten days in a row, and then, Liu Hong and those civil and military officials devoted themselves to the intense aftermath work.Of course, that is, Liu Hong celebrated for ten days, and those officials have already devoted themselves to the aftermath work.

In the aftermath work, the most important thing is immigration.This is what Liu Hong is most concerned about, because he has already made up his mind to transfer out the people from the densely populated areas in the hinterland of the Central Plains as much as possible.Because in his view, as long as the world is peaceful, the number of people in the hinterland of the Central Plains will grow the fastest.And in the later period of each dynasty, the land annexation in these places was the most serious.So he wants to take this opportunity to transfer as many local people as possible, so as to delay the future land annexation as much as possible.

Because Liu Hong has given quite generous policies to immigrants.This is both a merit point reward and a material reward, which made many people who were originally unwilling to emigrate join the immigrant army.

Together with the immigration boom, too many industries have benefited.Not to mention the items of food, clothing, housing and transportation directly related to them, other related industries are also developing vigorously.In this way, Dahana is really full of business opportunities everywhere, as long as he is willing to work hard, he will never worry about making money.

Seeing this situation, Liu Hong was overjoyed.After all, the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, and his position as emperor can be secure.

With the passage of time, the immigrant turmoil gradually subsided, but Liu Hong, who was holding the report, sighed, "Oh, the population is too small! The number of immigrants has almost reached the limit of immigration. They haven't digested the grassland yet."

But sighs are sighs, things can only go so far.Because according to the survey, the population of Sili, Henan, Hebei, Yan, Qing, and Xu, which were already overcrowded, has almost dropped by nearly half.As for other states and counties with a small population, after the baptism of the immigration wave, the population is even more pitiful.As a result, a large number of lands in various regions were left idle and barren because no one cultivated them.You said that in a situation like this, how could it be possible to immigrate from them.

"Forget it, it's like this now. When the population increases in the future, this problem will naturally be solved." Liu Hong put the report on the record and began to ponder, "This population is small, not all Bad thing. Let’s not say that because of the small population, all the conflicts of the big man have been alleviated or even resolved. Because of the small population, it has also promoted the great development of mechanization.”

For this, Liu Hong was really happy.Because he knows that the development of mechanization is, after all, the trend of future development.

In the past, there was a lot of surplus labor, and not many people were willing to spend money on mechanization.Not to mention those workshops, even the agricultural machinery subsidized by the imperial court did not sell much.But it is different now, because almost all of the surplus labor has immigrated away.In order not to shut down the workshops and keep the farms from being deserted, both the workshop owner and the farmer were forced to carry out mechanized transformation.As a result, as the demand for mechanization in workshops and farms has greatly increased, the research and development and processing of various machinery have also achieved tremendous development.Faced with this situation, Liu Hong kept sighing that this was a different kind of "a blessing in disguise" for the big man.

……

Time flies, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye.Early in the morning, the maid came to wake him up.Liu Hong, who didn't get enough sleep, was of course quite reluctant.But there is no way, who made today the day of the routine court meeting twice a month, even if he is reluctant, he has to get up.

"Ma De, nine o'clock is still too early. Find a chance and change it to ten o'clock!" Liu Hong muttered as he got up.

Hearing Liu Hong's complaint, the court lady snickered for a while.She thinks that her Majesty is really interesting. Every time she comes to call him early, she can hear his complaints. This has become a common practice in court.

Complaints are complaints, but going to court is a business after all, and Liu Hong is unwilling to delay.As soon as he finished grooming, he hurried to the main hall.But even so, when he came to the hall, those ministers had already been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing that Liu Hong had arrived, and after the officials paid their respects, Liu Shu said directly, "Your Majesty, this is the Ministry of Government Affairs' summary of this year's affairs. Your Majesty, please preview."

Liu Hong took the report and looked at it. It was a thick stack. He flipped through it casually, and asked directly: "Uncle Huang, I will read this thing when I have time. You should tell me about the important things first."

Liu Su had nothing to do with this tired emperor, so he could only say: "Your Majesty, not only have nothing major happened in the past two years, but the weather has also been smooth. Therefore, all walks of life in our big man have developed at a high speed. Especially this year, after a year of adjustment and adaptation, the immigrants have basically adapted to the current life, and their farms and pastures have begun to produce. According to preliminary calculations by the Government Affairs Council, this year's tax revenue will at least increase by [-]% compared to last year .”

"Tax increases are good, what about the rest, especially infrastructure?"

"Your Majesty, the construction of various infrastructures has been quite smooth." Hearing the question, Liu Shu quickly replied: "With the efforts of millions of slaves, the main roads from the capital to the states have been completely constructed. , the next step is to start the road network between the states."

"This is good!" Liu Hong said happily: "If you want to get rich, you should build roads first. This road needs to be built a lot."

"Yes, what your Majesty said is true." With a promise, Liu Shu continued: "Your Majesty, not only the road construction is gratifying, but other aspects are also quite gratifying. It is predicted that the Grand Canal will be fully connected by the end of this year. And it is even more impressive. Happily, in two months, the construction of the railway from Luoyang to Chang'an will be completed."

"Okay, that's great." Hearing this news, Liu Hong was really happy.The railway from Luoyang to Chang'an is not close, but the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is too important to the country's construction.

And just as Liu Hong was about to talk again, suddenly, there was a "dong dong dong" drum sound outside.

"Dengwen Drum?!" Liu Hong stood up straight away, "Made, why did this thing sound?" (To be continued.)
