Poor Family 1

  Chapter 844 Best Plan

   "How is the epidemic situation in Tokyo now?"

  While waiting for the official, Li Yanqing changed the topic. Although everyone was thinking about Cai Jing at this time, they didn't want to talk about Cai Jing.

   "The epidemic has been brought under control!"

Fan Zhixu smiled and said: "Last month, there was a torrential rain in Tokyo. It rained for two days in a row. Seeing that the Wuzhang River was about to break its embankment, everyone couldn't care less about the plague. They organized tens of thousands of people to go to the north of the city to reinforce the river embankment. After returning, no one was infected with the plague. In fact, except for the first few children who caught crows, no plague was found in Tokyo, and after a heavy rain, the plague was even gone.”

Li Yanqing nodded, that's right, rain can dilute the virus, and Bianliang City was properly prepared, so the plague didn't spread in the end, but as far as he knew, Zhongmu County was very unfortunate, with 100,000 people in the city dying Nearly half, as well as Weishi County and Xianping County, were affected by Zhongmou County, and almost 30% of the people died. The entire western part of Kaifeng Prefecture was dead, and almost all the people in these three counties who did not die of illness escaped.

   "This time the capital is moving south, how many people are there in Tokyo?"

"There are about 100,000 people who are unwilling to move to the south. Bianliang now does not need to rebuild the outer city, and the inner city is enough. When we transport all the documents and files away, and seal the palace, it is estimated that it will be destroyed for many years. I can't go back." Speaking of this, Fan Zhixu felt a little sad.

Next to Gao Shen, he added with a smile in time: "The housing prices in Bianliang are astonishingly cheap now. The shops next to the Yujie Street can be bought for a few thousand. In the past, they cost hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands. The shops in other areas are even less valuable. People are changing their houses now, and they didn’t even dare to think about it before, so there are still many people who are willing to stay in Bianliang.”

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from the door, and the monarch Zhao Gou walked in quickly, and everyone got up quickly, Zhao Gou waved his hands and said apologetically, "I just went to visit Cai Xianggong, and I came back a bit late, please forgive me." !"

  Fan Zhixu hurriedly said: "We just waited for a while, Your Majesty, I wonder how Mr. Cai is doing?"

  Zhao Gou shook his head, "The situation is very bad. I haven't woken up since I was in a coma last night. I asked their family members. It should be these two days."

Zhao Gou sat down in his own seat. Of course, he could not sit on an equal footing with his father-in-law, but a slightly higher and wider seat, an ivory-inlaid dragon chair. At this time, everyone stopped doing random things and sat back. took his seat.

Zhao Gou said slowly: "Today is already the third day, but as far as I know, normal government affairs have not resumed, I hope this chaotic Internet situation will end as soon as possible, everyone talk about it, what else is there now?" Difficulties, let’s find a solution together.”

  He glanced at everyone and said: "I hope everyone can speak freely, Fan Xianggong, you are the prime minister on the left, you can talk first!"

Fan Zhixu nodded and said, "Now that the capital has just been moved here, things are complicated. Many things are actually trivial, but they affect the operation of the court affairs. For example, Weichen wanted to write a memorial yesterday, but found that I didn’t have any ink, so I quickly sent people to buy it outside, but the ink I bought was not the ink we usually use in court affairs. Coming to the imperial court has already formed a lot of habits or rules, and now everything is disrupted, and we have to start from scratch again. Many people who have become accustomed to the old life don’t know what to do. A lot of our current confusion stems from this. "

   "What about Yi Fan Xiangguo?" Zhao Gou asked again.

"In my humble opinion, the imperial court first establishes an institution to formulate various rules, and stipulates all the detailed rules of the court affairs one by one, and then His Majesty issues the imperial edict. Everyone has rules to follow. If you are not used to it, you have to get used to it. And it worked smoothly.”

  Zhao Gou nodded, "Fan Xianggong makes sense, please ask Fan Xianggong to take the lead and form an organization to be responsible for formulating various court affairs rules."

   "Wei Chen understands, start building today!"

  Zhao Gou smiled and asked Li Gang again, "Let Xianggong Li talk about it next!"

Li Gang got up and saluted, then sat down again and said, "Your Majesty, a big problem now is the lack of officials in the court. In the past, there were tens of thousands of servants and craftsmen in the court, but now there are only more than a thousand servants left. There are less than 2,000 craftsmen in the bureau, and there are only a few craftsmen in other bureaus, and there is also a vacant courtyard, which seriously affects the normal operation of the court."

  Zhao Gou thought for a while and said, "Then how to solve this problem?"

Li Gang already has a preliminary plan, "From the shortage of officials, we can draw from all states and counties in the world, or choose students from various states and imperial schools to fill them up. As for entering the Zouyuan, it is actually a decree. where do you live?"

Li Gang's last words resonated with everyone. The housing problem has become the focus of complaints from all officials in the imperial court. These days, many officials are renting houses everywhere, or have to temporarily borrow houses from friends. Only when they live in peace can they work happily. Uneasy, how can the court run smoothly.

   All the prime ministers started discussing, Zhao Gou said to Li Yanqing: "Li Taibao, you have the most right to speak about the housing issue. Tell me, is there any solution?"

  Li Yanqing got up and bowed apologetically to everyone, "I'm sorry for not being able to solve everyone's living difficulties in time. Regarding housing, I do have a solution."

   Everyone cheered up, this was the biggest headache for them, and all the subordinates were staring at them eagerly!

  Li Yanqing smiled at Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty, do you still have the map of Qiantang that I gave you a few days ago?"

   "It's on my royal case!"

Zhao Gou hurriedly ordered the little eunuch, and quickly took the map from the royal case in the back room, and hung it up on a shelf. Li Yanqing walked to the map, pointed to a large piece of land between the county seat and the imperial city, and said, "This The piece of land is about 22,000 mu, which is reserved for the imperial court. I suggest that official buildings can be built near the imperial city, just like the dormitory of Taixue. The bottom two officials live in one room, and then gradually Upgrading, officials at the seventh rank can live in a single courtyard, five houses, and these dormitories are provided by the government. No rent is required for the time being. As for the housing in the Zouyuan, we provide the land and they build it themselves. As Fan Xianggong said just now, establish the rules first."

   "What about officials above rank seven?" Zheng Wangzhi asked.

Li Yanqing pointed to the north of the map. There is also a wider open space in the north, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, the local government in Lin'an is currently building public rental housing. At the same time, it is also preparing to auction the land in the northernmost Huantang Henan. The money from the auction will be used to build the city wall." , but regardless of the public rental housing and land auctions, they are all on the east side of Qiantang Street, and about 20,000 mu of land on the west side of Qiantang Street is not allocated for use. I think the imperial court can build official residences here, ranging from one mu to ten mu , officials above the seventh rank can get official houses to live in, but if they want to live in a better and bigger place, or want to pass it on to their children and grandchildren, they have to buy their own land and houses. As far as I know, many high-ranking officials have already bought land. Building a house."

   Li Gang asked: "It is certainly good to build official residences and residences, but the imperial court's financial resources are in distress! I am afraid that it will not be able to spend so much money for a while."

Li Yanqing looked at Zhao Gou with a smile. All the silver sold by the Xiang family's property went into the internal treasury. In order to get rid of the crime, both the Zheng family and the Zhu family took out a huge amount of silver, which was also in the hands of Zhao Gou. Of course Zhao Gou is obliged to house and official residences.

Zhao Gou didn't understand what Li Yanqing meant, so he could only smile wryly and said, "Recently, the inner treasury has some income, so how about it! The money for the construction of official buildings and official houses will be padded by the inner treasury first, and when the court has more money , and return the money to Neiku.”

   "Your Majesty is holy!"

Li Yanqing praised with a smile, and said: "In addition, regarding Li Xianggong's two plans to enrich the subordinate officials, I even suggest that newcomers should be selected from the prefectural schools and imperial schools. Firstly, the students are young, energetic, and have no subordinate officials. Those flamboyant people, secondly, most of them did not have a family, and the burden on the court was a little easier. Let them live in a two-room official house first, and then gradually improve their living conditions after being promoted. At that time, the court had a lot of financial resources. You can set up a tent and live there for two months, and then you can move into a new house.”

  Fan Zhixu also smiled happily: "The young students are good, and I fully agree with Li Taibao's suggestion. This time, the migration to the south, thanks to the full assistance of the three thousand Taibao students, they can be given priority in entry."

Everyone also expressed their agreement, Zhao Gou nodded and agreed to the plan, and everyone discussed the details again, and then the emperor Zhao Gou issued an edict to issue a new test plan to recruit 30,000 students from all states and prefectural schools in the world. A number of outstanding students entered the imperial court.
