Finally there is news about my mother.

Although it's not perfect, there is finally hope.

Now the king is not hungry and he doesn't care whether my mother's life in the past few years is bitter or tired.

No matter how hard or tired you are, it's all in the past.

Now, I just want to know whether she has had a good or bad life in the past few years and whether she has been bullied.

"Keep looking!" Wang Buxu waved his hand and drove Peng Yue away impatiently.

Although it is a bit unreasonable to use state power to find one's relatives, it is also very reasonable.

This is a manifestation of maintaining the stability of the country. Finding relatives is not an abuse of the power of the country.

As long as he doesn't use scouts to transport fruits from the south, the ministers will never say no.

Zhang Liang, who originally prepared a lot of detailed data, now had to throw that data aside.

The king obviously doesn't pay much attention to this.

As the saying goes, a well-fed man does not know a hungry man is hungry. Basically, these people are surrounded by their relatives, or they are gone early in the morning.

Wang Buxu went out alone to conquer the country. Now that the country has been established, he finally heard the news about his relatives. It is normal to feel uneasy for a while.

Therefore, Zhang Liang subconsciously reduced the content of his report.

"Your Majesty, the spring plowing situation in Han Dynasty this year is gratifying. Before the expedition, for example, all the cultivated land was cultivated, and more than 600,000 acres of wasteland were developed. Mainly due to the army's expedition, a large number of people were responsible for the cultivation of official fields, thus affecting

In addition to the reclamation of wasteland, the other is farm tools. This year, more than 50% and nearly 60% of Hanjing farm tools have been updated. It is planned to complete the transformation of all old farm tools within this year, and add no less than 100,000 new farm tools..."

These are some routine operations. Zhang Liang just executes them step by step, supervises them, and solves some minor problems that arise.

That's how managing a country is. Everything can't be as exciting as managing a country.

It doesn't make people feel so passionate when listening to it.

This is actually a process of gradual change little by little through daily life. If you want to make a qualitative change, it must go through the precipitation of time.

No one can reach heaven in one step.

Even if the king is not hungry, no matter how smooth the process of conquering the country is.

But at the beginning, wasn't he still a dog on Mang Mountain for half a year?

Before destroying Qin and destroying Chu, wouldn't you have been a peaceful dog for a year?

Although I didn't win this year, the effect was indeed reflected.

"Yeah!" After listening to Zhang Liang's report, Wang Buxu gradually recovered his thoughts.

After thinking about it for a while, I went through some plans in my mind.

He signaled Sima Xin, who was standing aside to take notes, to put on a silk cloth to record. When he was ready, he began to say:

"The first thing to do this year is to search for iron ore and copper mines. After the autumn harvest, we will organize the people nearby to mine. The government will take care of food and accommodation. Five people per team will combine by themselves. The total output of the five people will be used to determine the income. How to determine it specifically?

, Prime Minister Zhang, please study it.”

Zhang Liang nodded and said there was no problem.

The role of iron has been demonstrated, but the current iron production in Zhuxia is too low.

Whether it is agricultural tools or weapons, the quality of iron is several grades better, and the functions they play are also different.

After the autumn harvest, there is a slack period. People have nothing to do to prepare for the winter. Being idle at home is also idle. Going out to work can also earn some food. Why not?

"The second thing is to encourage childbirth. If a couple has three or more children, the government will reward them. The reward period is until the number of unmarried children is less than two. Gu's idea is that for each additional child, the reward will increase. For example, for each person

Two shi of grain will be rewarded every year. If there are four children, each person will be rewarded with two shi and one jun per year. If there are five children, each person will be rewarded with two shi and two jun per year. The specific incentive measures will be decided by Zhang Xiang after considering the actual situation."

Wang Buxing said.

Zhang Liang frowned and said: "Your Majesty, as soon as this policy came out, it's not bad now. There are a lot of wastelands in various places that can be divided or cultivated into official fields. If we wait ten or twenty years, the population will increase."

If there are too many, this land won’t be enough, and I’m afraid the population will be uncontrollable in the future…”

"Don't be afraid of the situation of more people and less land. Does Zhang know how big the world is? And how many places in the world are still waiting to be cultivated? The current population of Zhuxia is far from enough for the world.

"Yes." Wang Buxian said.

Anything that doesn’t have enough ground will basically not be developed continuously.

Of course, there is another situation. Before entering a bottleneck period, the court did not regulate it well, either left it alone or overcorrected, leading to population collapse.

Wang Buxian felt that with the current level of medical care, even if population restrictions were relaxed, there would be no need to worry about that happening within a hundred years.

However, in order to make everyone feel more at ease and to save future generations from trouble, Wang Buxu thought about it and decided to add a restriction.

"In addition, each county will ensure that the most basic amount of official land remains unchanged according to its own situation to ensure that each county's official warehouse has enough grain storage to cope with disaster years. If the county reaches the threshold, relocation will be carried out.

The policy is to move the excess population into counties with less land and more people, and the government can give certain rewards to people who are willing to move out."

"The third thing is to find a suitable place and encourage the people to raise horses. In the next battle against the Huns, horses are the key, and traditional infantry poses little threat to them."

"The fourth thing is to encourage process innovation, especially iron smelting technology. We must find ways to innovate. This can use the previous model and set up a new yamen. No matter what it is, as long as the innovation is made and adopted by the court

, just give a reward.”

"The fifth thing is to prepare enough food and grass. The empire's standing troops will be more than one million in the future. In addition, the first batch of immigrants will mainly be composed of these soldiers and their relatives!"

Wang Buxu mentioned five things in one breath, which will be the main tasks this year, next year, and even for many years to come.

Prospecting is a resource. Without resources, there is no way to innovate agricultural tools and weapons. If the agricultural tools are not good, production efficiency will naturally not be improved. If the weapons are not good, you will naturally suffer losses on the battlefield.

Population, to put it simply, is now an era of using human sea tactics, and Zhuxia is so big that it is absolutely impossible not to develop population.

In the battle with the Xiongnu, Wang Buxu was mentally prepared to lose millions of people.

Therefore, before the war begins, make population reserves as early as possible. In this case, even if more than a million people are really lost, the Han Dynasty will be stronger in twenty years than it was twenty years ago.

No matter how hard and tiring it is, it only lasts for these twenty years.

Raising horses is not just for the Huns. The army of the Central Plains Dynasty must engage in cavalry operations. Pure infantry has no way to adapt to expeditions.

Process innovation, this needs no explanation.

In the past dynasties, when people migrated to newly developed areas, the army and their families were always the first, followed by the criminals.

Zhang Liang was a little dumbfounded when he heard it. He didn't quite understand it, but he could understand it somewhat.

Because by following Wang Buxu's train of thought, we can guess some of his lofty goals.

Perhaps, this is the chosen one?
