All dynasties and dynasties have been upward and downward.

Driven by Zhu Youlang's move to Chengdu, more and more people moved to Sichuan.

The sparsely populated Sichuan is gradually becoming lively, although it is far from reaching the peak of the Wanli period, but it makes people see hope.

Chongqing has just been won, but Zhu Youlang doesn't plan to stay here forever.

Now that the capital has been moved, Zhu Youlang should naturally sit in the capital.

After explaining the time to Li Dingguo, Zhu Youlang led the new army to Chengdu.

As for the army commanded by Li Dingguo, it was divided into three parts.

Part of it was led by Feng Shuangli to return to Kunming to garrison to prevent the Qing army in Guizhou from attacking Kunming's idea.

A part of it was garrisoned in Chongqing under the command of Bai Wenxuan to prevent Aobai raids.

The rest of the Chinese army was garrisoned in Fengjie under the leadership of Li Dingguo.

It is not too far to go to Chengdu or Chongqing from Fengjie, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

If there is any need for support, Li Dingguo can also arrive as soon as possible.

In addition, according to the pattern drawn by the Son of Heaven, the Ming army has begun to build fortresses in some key places.

Due to their lack of experience, the craftsmen could only cross the river by feeling the stones at first, but after a while they gradually mastered the know-how and the speed of construction increased.

According to the plan of the Son of Heaven, it will take a year to build fifty fortresses and block all the key points.

In this way, even if the eastern captives want to attack in a big way, they will be cut apart and will not be able to form a joint force.

The Ming army could then take advantage of the terrain and topography to defeat each of them.

For the Ming army, every battle is crucial, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

However, he said that after Zhu Youlang returned to Chengdu, he was warmly welcomed by the people of Chengdu.

However, he did not indulge in the praise of the people, but quickly planned a plan to revitalize Shuzhong with Wen'an.

People and land are naturally the most important, and Zhu Youlang has been trying his best to push this.

The next step is to prosper.

Shuzhongjing salt is famous all over the world, and Zhu Youlang decided to reform the salt tax system to attract merchants to do business in Sichuan.

Only in this way can Sichuan truly prosper with the flow of commodity economy.

"Your Majesty, the first time I opened the salt law in the court, attracting merchants to go to the nine borders to transport grain in exchange for salt. It is a pity that since the collapse of the law after the Wanli Dynasty, the imperial court has indiscriminately issued salt, and the salt merchants can resell salt from the salt field by hoarding the salt to make huge profits. ”

Wen Anzhi's personality is very upright.

In his eyes, right is right, and wrong is wrong.

Even the fault of the imperial court does not need to be deliberately covered up.

In the late Wanli period, there were frequent chaotic governments, among which the corruption of the salt government was a very important one.

"Wen Aiqing means to follow the Kaizhong method?"

Zhu Youlang is naturally no stranger to opening the Chinese law.

It's just that he thinks that Kaizhongfa can't keep up with this era.

"Of course, you can't use it all, you need to make some improvements."

Wen Anzhi explained: "The core of the Kaizhong Law is to reduce the expenditure and loss of grain transportation in the imperial court, and transfer it to the merchants. Nowadays, the land under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty is limited, and there is no need to rely on merchants to transport grain. What the imperial court needed was merchants who could bring their daily needs for food and clothing. ”

Zhu Youlang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Now Chengdu and even Sichuan are in ruins, and they look very barren and dilapidated.

If you think about it carefully, isn't it fireworks that are missing?

If you want to have fireworks, some people will definitely not work, you must also have elements of life.

And that's exactly what the merchant is able to provide.

"So the merchants required by the Kaizhong Law to transport grain are changed to transport items necessary for daily life?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Youlang is really an all-rounder, and this kind of detail can be considered perfectly and properly.

As long as the businessmen can create fireworks, more and more people will definitely come to settle in Sichuan.

"Your Majesty can appoint a division to be in charge of this matter. Merchants who have performed well should be rewarded, and the amount of salt given should also be different. ”

Zhu Youlang nodded.

This is natural, and only the hierarchical distinction can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of businessmen.

Businessmen are very profitable, and they will only do things hard if they taste the sweetness.

"The minister is old, if he had taken the initiative to ask His Majesty to supervise this matter ten years ago."

Zhu Youlang laughed out loud when he heard this.

Wen Aiqing said with a smile, Daming has more important things for you to deal with. I'll find someone to supervise this matter. ”

Compared with sea salt, the output of well salt is more concentrated and single.

If the merchants wanted to meddle in this business, they had to cooperate with the imperial court.

Unlike some coastal salt merchants, they can still secretly dry salt and sell salt.

"Your Majesty, in addition to salt affairs, the reopening of the imperial examination is also imminent."

Wen Anzhi is a literati, so it is needless to say that he attaches great importance to culture and education.

When the Yongli court was in Yunnan, it never interrupted the imperial examination, but there were basically no people in Sichuan because of the war, so naturally there was no need to open the imperial examination.

If today's Zizi decides to shift the focus to Sichuan, then it is extremely necessary to reopen the imperial examination in Sichuan.

This is one of the most important means to win over young people, especially readers.

Compared with the military generals, the civil reserves of the Yongli court are extremely lacking, and many courtiers are Jinshi during the Chongzhen period.

Like Wen Anzhi, he was a jinshi during the apocalypse.

To put it mildly, how many years can they hold out for these old guys?

The sad thing is that they are not greedy for power and occupy positions, but that there are no suitable young people to step up.

From Wen Anzhi's point of view, there will indeed be a sense of sadness that there is no successor.

Zhu Youlang can understand.

Although Zhu Youlang himself has a certain prejudice about the imperial examination, he has to admit that the imperial examination is the most effective means of gathering literati in this era.

The matter of cultural and educational reform can be put aside, but for the time being, the existing model should be promoted.

When the clearing is successful, the world has been decided, and it is not too late to use the big knife.

"In the past, the Ming Dynasty was divided into the north and south lists, and Your Majesty might as well divide the Yunnan list and the Sichuan list. The two lists are independent of each other, so that it is easier for candidates to pass the exam. It can also attract readers to Sichuan. ”

Wen Anzhi's suggestion is exquisite.

Although there are not many scholars in Yunnan at the moment, it is still much better than Sichuan.

Giving Sichuan an independent quota can attract students from Yunnan to come to Sichuan to take the examination and keep the talents.

Now Zhu Youlang has completely adapted to the role of the emperor. He found that governing the country really cannot rely on a single passion.

Many things have to be looked at differently.

For example, to reform the salt system, Zhu Youlang needs to consider the problem from the perspective of businessmen, and formulate policies that are in line with the interests of both the imperial court and businessmen to achieve a win-win situation.

Another example is the resumption of the Sichuan imperial examination, Zhu Youlang also has to consider the mentality of readers.

Being an emperor is not an easy task.
