A few days later, after the meeting hall of the Shangshu Mansion, following Chen Fu's step in, Jiang Wan, Zhong Yao, Zhu Qian, Wang Can, Xu Gan, Song Guo, Guo Yong, Wang Rong, Liu Xi and other court ministers stood up one after another.

"No need to be polite, just sit down." Chen Fu sat down with a heavy expression and said straight to the point: "Pong Yan, do you tell me first?"

"Yes, Prime Minister" Jiang Wan nodded and said seriously: "I believe everyone knows that, under the rule of the lord, Chang'an has flourished at an extremely astonishing speed in less than two years, the problems that have emerged are becoming more and more serious. The most critical point is that the number of registered household registration in Chang'an City is currently 180,000, but the actual number has exceeded 350,000, which is more than the population of Chang'an during the heyday of the Han Dynasty. This is because our governance is extremely uneven. Now, in Guanzhong, even in the states and counties under the imperial court, a large number of wealthy merchants and wealthy families have appeared towards Chang'an. They come with an astonishing number of servants and servants, and at the same time, forming a trend of money everywhere in Chang'an."

"Although this made Chang'an seem to be the first city of the Han Dynasty in a short period of time, it really hindered the development of the following prefectures and counties, and led to the stranding of the civil settlement plan. At the same time, a large number of unemployed people also appeared in Chang'an City. If this continues, it will cause huge trouble for the overall economic situation of the court."

"What is particularly worrying is that the housing prices in Chang'an are rising steadily. Although every inch of land is not said to be valuable, they are gradually approaching. Therefore, the meeting held today is to discuss the layout of the imperial court in the next one to five years."

Chen Fu frowned and asked Jiang Wan to sit down, saying seriously: "What I want is not the gain of a city, but the wealth of the world. The court currently owns Guanzhong, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Hetao, Hedong, Hanzhong, covering the entire northwest of the Han Dynasty. Everyone's goal is to gather in Chang'an. In the long run, how can Chang'an accommodate? Once the population is larger and the court cannot give corresponding policies, there will be chaos. This is what Gu absolutely does not want to see."

"After discussing, the Shangshu Mansion decided to spend a lot of money, concentrate its efforts, develop several important cities in Guanzhong and Yongzhou, keep the people and attract the big merchants to go there," Zhong Yao said with his fist.

"Development alone is not enough, but also requires a reversal of thought. Chang'an is full of money and beauties everywhere. What kind of bastard is this? Wang Can," Chen Fu said suddenly.

"Lord" Wang Can immediately stood up with sweat on his forehead.

"Does your propaganda office have nothing else to do except to promote orphans? Do more work. Nowadays, many farmers think that there is no need to farm. Let their descendants go to Chang'an for a month, which is equivalent to farming for a year. How many times have the orphans said that people are based on food and the country is based on agriculture. Scholars and farmers, and the scholars and farmers have become scholars and merchants. When will they go to a wealthy family to do business and do business by themselves be more important than farming. If the plan for the Mintun is delayed and the grain cannot be collected, you will let the orphan soldiers go to war on hunger." Chen Fu said sternly, although industry and commerce were the first in his previous life, how can they be the same as today? Today's society is still a farming society, and science and technology have not reached that step, scholars and farmers are the first.

"I am guilty" Wang Can said immediately.

"Since the Yellow Turbans, the world has been in chaos and a large number of unowned fields have appeared, all under the control of the court. This was originally a great form, but now because of the wealth of Chang'an and the mobilization of a small number of people, many people have forgotten what they are. This has made their hearts tremble." Chen Fu slapped the table heavily.

Everyone was startled and stood up one after another.

"The Lord is angry. In addition to vigorously developing the city below, the Shangshu Mansion decided to re-liquid the population of Chang'an and increase the capita tax. At the same time, it ordered officials from all prefectures and counties to reclaim farming as the first task of the country and slow down the progress of industry and commerce," Jiang Wan said with a fist.

After hearing this, Chen Fu took a breath and said, "In half a year, within half a year, this problem must be solved. I am talking about it once. The country takes agriculture as the root. What I need to look at is not how much depreciating money there is in the treasury, but how much rice there is in the granary."

"promise"

Chen Fu pressed his hands and waited for everyone to sit down again, and said, "You are responsible for this kind of thing, but because of the continuous wars, there are many fewer strong men working in farming. The people are worried that once the war starts again, everything they pay will be oppressed by heavy taxes, so they will be confused. At this point, you must think of more solutions. This situation cannot be solved for the time being, but it is certain that the taxes of the court will not change. As long as the people work hard to farm, everything will be better."

"yes"

"In addition, in order to improve productivity, the First Hospital of Qiaoyuan will be directly taken over by Shangshuyuan in the future," said Chen Fudao.

"Thank you Prime Minister" Jiang Wandao.

"In addition, in order to ensure that the population is kept in various places, Gu will set up colleges in various places in Guanzhong. If a man under the age of fourteen wants to enter the court as an official or attend Fenghao Academy, he must first enroll in colleges in various places. The fee is very simple, so he will use grain and rice instead of money. The learning does not have to be too complicated. As for the teacher issue, in addition to the selection of local areas, Gu will ask students in Fenghao Academy to help. As one of the assessment results, of course, one thing is very important, that is, the students must have local household registration, Liu Xi," Chen Fu said at this time.

"I'm here"

"This matter is left to the Specialized Education Department. Within half a year, fifty to one hundred colleges must be built in various places. I would like to let these children learn the art of marching and marching in the world. As long as they can recognize words and texts, it will be enough."

"promise"

"Also, although Chang'an has a large population, the population in other places is indeed sparse, especially in Yong and Liang areas. The 30 million guan of money proposed by your Shangshu Mansion last time to stimulate population growth and the laws on single taxation. I have agreed. This is a major plan that concerns a century-long period, and it is necessary to do it well," said Chen Fu.

"yes"

"There are four things I have said today. First: breaking down the illusory fanaticism of the lower-level people towards Chang'an; second: controlling the fields separately and encouraging land reclamation; third: establishing a household registration system, building a college, and retaining talents for various places. Fourth: encouraging childbirth and setting up single-child taxes. These four major policies must be implemented as soon as possible, and at the same time establishing them as the development plan for the court in the next five years." Chen Fudao.

"promise"

...

Soon, when the meeting ended, Jiang Wan looked at Chen Fu and said with some concern: "Lord, the other three major plans should be fine, but the key is that building the college is simple, but the books required is indeed a big problem. Now the court cannot provide such huge needs."

"This Gu understands that this matter will make Ma Jun think of a solution. The printing technology he has studied has achieved small success. You can arrange it. These four major plans are difficult to complete without several years of hard work. Take it step by step," said Chen Fu.

After hearing this, Jiang Wan nodded.

"Lord" At this time, Yang Xiu came over and said with a serious expression: "Just just got the news, Yuan Shu seemed to know that Yuan Shao sent Xu You into Chang'an and was preparing to meet in advance."

Chen Fu's face calmed down and said, "Let's go."
