"Two Huai officials, how is the progress of the selection and transfer of officials?" Liu Chengyou looked at Feng Dao.

"The state and county-level officials have selected hundreds of officials from the two capitals and officials, and they have been appointed one after another, plus the accepted Tang officials, can meet the rule of government affairs! When he first descends, he will definitely complement each other wholeheartedly to win trust! Feng Dao said: "In addition, the ministers and others have discussed that they want to select the generals from the local states and towns and transfer them to Huainan and Huainan!" ”

"That's a good idea! What's more! Liu Chengyou only turned a corner in his mind, then showed a smile and said: "However, in the new land of Huainan, the political system has not been consolidated, and the people's will has not been attached. Although the officials who have been pulled out are not of high grade, they are the foundation of our dynasty's rule in Huainan, and they need to be paid attention to! ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Feng Daoyu reported: "The ministers are selected, and the talents are taken at that time, and they all have the resume of serving in the departments and offices, prefectures and counties, and they are all middle-class ......and upper-class evaluations every year."

Regarding Feng Dao's words, Liu Chengyou does not fully believe it, there is never a shortage of talented people in the world, but there are not many talents in politics in the Han Dynasty. However, it was not broken, and it was impossible for him to be demanding, and Huainan sent officials, all of whom were cadres. As the emperor, he only needs to consider the overall situation, even if there are favors or indiscriminate filling, as long as it is within the controllable range, it will not hinder the overall situation.

"In addition, His Majesty has set up a new system of Daozhou, and the courtiers have recommended and considered it thoroughly, and under the two divisions of government administration and inspection, another assistant official will be set up, and the government department will be established to govern the province." Feng Dao said.

"It's nature!" Liu Chengyou nodded directly in agreement, and said: "A state government, the king's affairs are complicated, and I don't want my ministers to be burdened by it." Regarding the provincial government system, the secretary and others, together with the well-educated people of the three museums, agreed on the regulations as soon as possible and drafted a statement. The military and political system of Huainan and Huainan must be completed as soon as possible, and the appointment of officials at the upper and lower levels must also be implemented as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!" Feng Dao responded to the order, his old face relaxed, and he respectfully suggested to Liu Chengyou: "In addition, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, all provinces, prefectures and counties have been caught in wars, repeatedly caught in wars, and the rise and fall are inconsistent, so that the world collapses, and the former system is old, which is difficult to meet the needs of the current Anbang governance. The old minister thought that the new system in Huainan could be temporarily tried in two ways to see the results, check and fill in the gaps, and gradually implement it throughout the country after the whole system. You can also take the opportunity to comprehensively demarcate the boundaries and clarify the city! ”

Eyebrows raised slightly, Liu Chengyou tilted his head, stared at Feng Dao, the old minister, and said: "Feng Gong has far-reaching opinions, but I can't be in a hurry at this time, wait for the civil affairs in Huainan to straighten out, and then make plans!" ”

Feng Dao had no objection, just a respectful salute. It can be seen that it is similar to Guo Wei, and Feng Daojin's discussion is also like a "letter of nomination" to Liu Chengyou, which is completely in line with the emperor's wishes.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing the opportunity, the minister Li Tao got up and said: "The fourteen county governments of Huainan have been instructed to report the registers of fields, forests, and Dingkou within their jurisdiction to Tokyo. According to the collation of the ministers and others, when it belonged to the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 2.8 million people in the prefectures of Huainan, and there were more than 2.8 million people in Dingkou.

However, this is only based on the old files, and it is not accurate, and this southern expedition will inevitably inevitably flee and suffer from the war. Even so, according to the ministers, the Dingkou of Zhuzhou is also above two hundred and fifty mouths. If you add the hermits, slaves, and monks and nuns of Buddhist monasteries, the number should increase. ”

"The specific Dingkou register needs to be counted in detail by the state and county officials after the situation is stabilized, and the register will be registered and reported to the imperial court! Li Tao said, with a smile on his eyebrows: "But no matter what, I have added nearly 400,000 households to the country, and the number of people in the country has finally reached 10 million, which is the most in the world!" ”

Li Tao talked about this, which is what makes Liu Chengyou the happiest, the importance of population, naturally there is no need to say more. After Liu Chengyou issued several edicts, checked the household registration, and sent envoys to inspect them, although it was still inevitable that things such as concealment and concealment would occur, the population of the Northern Han Dynasty was about 1.25 million households, and the number of people in the Northern Han Dynasty was less than 10 million.

This is still the result of Liu Chengyou accepting a large number of Youyan refugees, and quickly quelling the civil strife, eliminating bandits, and calming the country for several years. Otherwise, the number is even less.

For the Northern Han court, the capture of Huainan, money, grain, and goods were not bandits, but the nearly three million Dingkou were the greatest wealth and harvest. As long as the naturalization and rectification are over, the national strength of the Northern Han Dynasty will inevitably skyrocket.

From another point of view, the Han Dynasty, which occupies most of the Daozhou in the north, ruled Dingkou, but there are only 10 million, and its vast and sparsely populated situation can be imagined.

"The center should draw up a policy to encourage the people to have children!" Liu Chengyou paced a few steps in front of the ministers, and ordered: "In the next twenty years, the Han officials will be examined, and the three-year big test should be based on population growth!" ”

Feng Dao and the others glanced at each other and bowed down to answer the order.

Regarding the policy of population incentives and encouraging childbirth, Liu Chengyou has not considered it before. It's just that at the beginning of the administration, there was nothing to be done, and there were no sufficient conditions for implementation.

First, the state's finances need to be used to consolidate state power, such as raising troops and officials, guarding the border and defending against enemies, and so on; The two have been repeatedly warned, the people's hearts are not attached, the governance is not peaceful, and the people are poor. At the beginning of the country, the influence of the imperial court on the local government was too weak, and the authority was not solid, and it was not easy to implement it.

Now, in every way, the conditions are in place. Liu Chengyou to 20 years, but a little uncertain stimulus, the growth rate of population, for the feudal empire, the contradiction between population and land, it is worth being vigilant, when the situation is appropriate, but at present, the people can be encouraged to let go of fertility.

Unconsciously, as the night deepened, Liu Chengyou obviously noticed that the ministers in the palace, more or less, were tired. Liu Chengyou was also quite tired after this day's toss.

The meal has already passed, and Liu Chengyou has a family banquet to cushion his stomach, and he feels okay, but this dry courtier is estimated to be empty. Liu Chengyou turned his head directly and instructed Zhang Dejun: "Go, tell the dining room, prepare dine-in, make something sumptuous, let the princes enjoy it, and then leave the palace!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Dejun responded to the order and went quite actively.

Facing the Son of Heaven's appreciation, Feng Dao and the others all stood up and thanked them.

Next, Liu Chengyou inquired about the situation in Tokyo. Time, in the middle of the questioning, passed quickly, and after the waiter was ready for dine-in, Liu Chengyou himself couldn't sit still.

"That's it for today! Ladies and gentlemen, let's go to dinner! He got up again, waved his hand, looked around, and ordered: "Pass on the system, and the day after tomorrow, I will go to the temple to worship in person, so as to receive the merit of Huainan." At night, in the Chongyuan Palace, the imperial banquet of the Emperor was held, and the civil and military ministers of Tokyo above the five grades could go to the banquet! ”

"Yes!"

After the ministers retreated one after another, Liu Chengyou lingered in front of the Han Dynasty for a while, his eyes were clear, and the corners of his mouth slowly bloomed into a smile, and then he laughed out loud, laughing extremely heartily.

The sudden laughter startled the attendants in the hall, and they waited cautiously one by one, but they couldn't help but glance at the emperor.

Zhang Dejun approached and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, is there any joy in being so happy?" ”

"What do you say?" Restraining his smile, Liu Chengyou turned around and asked him.

Facing the gaze of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Dejun smiled humbly and responded humbly: "Your Majesty's mind is like the sea, how can a small one guess it." It's just that His Majesty is happy, and the little ones can't help but be happy! ”

Liu Chengyou seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Dejun's answer, and grinned again. Slowly walked out of the palace door, blowing the slightly cold night breeze, looking up at the starry sky, at this time, he had a feeling of the vast world and the world, let me roam, and the whole person's state of mind was raised a lot.

At this time, Zhang Dejun leaned to his side and gave Liu Chengyou a question that was both realistic and a little difficult to choose: "Your Majesty, I don't know where to stay tonight?" ”

Of course, he didn't think much about it, Liu Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's drive the Kunming Palace!" ”
