It's not that Li Xin doesn't believe in the assessment of the officials, it's just that he and Wang Meng and others think of the kind of good officials in their hearts are a little different. Therefore, he is ready to take advantage of the fact that he can still take care of this matter, and take a good look. On the whole, there are now hundreds of county-level officials in the Huashan Army, so it is naturally impossible to meet every single one. But after this kind of news spreads, because it is just a random inspection of a few people from time to time, it will make all the officials nervous.

It's like He Dabao before, if it is based on the usual assessment of the officials, I'm afraid there won't be much of a problem. After all, it is unlikely that you will simply notice a case like the one before during the assessment.

But if Li Xin goes to the assessment, because the concept is different, some questions will be relatively different. In this way, it will be possible to see the problems of these officials from another angle.

And this is also a reminder for those departments responsible for assessment. Let them not dare to deceive the upper and lower ~ their~ hands, and do that deception, otherwise, they will be discovered one day.

Seeing that he had already made up his mind, Wang Meng and the others didn't say anything anymore, and after the discussion, everyone went back to work.

The second year of Shengping inherited the peace of the previous year, so, on the whole, nothing big happened. After more than a year of repairs, the current Huashan Army has completely recovered, the granaries in various places are already full of grain, and the official treasury is also full of cloth, gold and silver.

At this point, Li Xinzhong was completely settled. It just so happened that the inventory of acres in various places was over, and all the data had basically been reported.

On the whole, the territory of the Huashan Army is still not much different from the past. The most populous places are still Guanzhong and Pingyang, Hedong, which are also large producers of grain, and are the most important source of food for the Huashan Army, which can be described as a granary.

The good news is that, judging from last year's situation, all parts of the country under the rule have basically achieved full warmth, and even the most remote places have achieved self-sufficiency. From this point of view, it also means that there is no need to transfer food from Chang'an and other places to support other places.

The completion of the defense system can also ensure the safety needs of Huashan's military and civilian production in the next many years. If nothing major happens, basically the entire territory will be stable enough for a long time.

This is a very rare situation, especially in a situation like the world today, it is too difficult to find a place of long-term peace and stability. This will become a major advantage of the Huashan Army, so as to attract more people from other places to enter, and thus to enhance the people's strength.

"Judging from the inventory of acres in various places, the land in Guanzhong is basically saturated, and if new land is not opened, I am afraid that there will be no land to divide if anyone comes." The matter of Tianmu is related to the household department, so Li Xin brought Xu Fuzi over to discuss the matter.

"There are a lot of big households in Guanzhong, and each family occupies a lot of land, otherwise, it shouldn't be saturated so quickly. In particular, after the implementation of the new land policy last year, there were many people returning from all over the south, and it can be said that the roads were crowded for a while. Now it seems that this is not the way to go, we have to disperse people to other places! Xu Fuzi said.

"Well, so be it! From now on, the division of land in various parts of Guanzhong will be stopped, and the cultivation of new land will be prohibited. In the future, with Guanzhong as the center, the newly settled people in the territory will be guided to the surrounding areas. From near to far, let's start with the nearest places such as Hedong, Binh Duong, Anding, and Beidi County! After thinking about it for a while, Li Xin came up with an idea.

People want to live in good places, and no one wants to survive in hard places. Obviously, the land of Guanzhong is the most prosperous place, but who doesn't want to be able to live in this imperial capital of the people who enter the territory.

But the place is so big, it can't fit everyone. In this way, unless you have ancestral documents, you can only queue up slowly on a first-come, first-served basis. Now that the land in Guanzhong has been divided, it can only spread outward.

In contrast, although these places around Guanzhong are a little far away from Chang'an, in terms of conditions, they are actually not bad. Compared with Yanmen, Longxi and other places, it is very close to Guanzhong.

Therefore, moving the people to these places should be a reluctantly acceptable thing for them. Of course, Li Xin will not force them to do this kind of thing, giving them two choices, either naturalization and migration, or no naturalization.

I believe that under such a distinction, those people will think carefully about it themselves. After all, under the rule of Huashan Army, there is still a big difference between naturalization and non-naturalization.

"These nearby places are relatively easy to manage, with the renovation of roads in various places and the improvement of the government, I believe that many people will be willing to move to nearby counties. It's just that the nearby counties are still relatively small after all, and if it takes a long time, it will inevitably be overcrowded. In the long run, we still have to let everyone move to a farther place. For example, in places like Longxi, Jincheng, and Xiping, there is a lack of people, as long as there are more people, it will also be of great benefit to us to control all places! After thinking about it for a while, Xu Fuzi suggested.

"Well, you're right, especially in Qinzhou, although many of the people who moved out in previous years have moved back. But the population is actually much worse, and it is really not commensurate with this vast area. It's just that those places are too remote, and the people may not be willing to move there by themselves! Li Xin agreed with this concern and couldn't help nodding.

"Let's do some encouragement! For example, if you are exempt from taxes, you can exempt people who move to a specific area for three years. In addition, you will also receive farming cattle and seeds from the government! As a result, there must be a lot of people willing to move to those places! Xu Fuzi made a suggestion.

Tax exemption has been a practice for a long time, after all, this is not the first time that people have been relocated. Whether it was the time of Qin Shi Huang or the later era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were large-scale migration activities of the people.

If there is no benefit, if the people are forced to move, it is very likely to cause turmoil~ chaos. Therefore, even the emperors of ancient times were very aware of this and would give them favors.

As a latecomer, Li Xin naturally understands the risks involved, so he agreed without even thinking about it.

"By the way, the next thing is to invest more in agriculture. All localities within the territory should not be satisfied with just growing grain, and many of the crops that the original staff department had recovered from Jiaozhi and other places in the Western Regions had to find ways to spread them. In particular, cotton and medicinal herbs are very important things for us, and we should find ways to expand production! When it came to incentives, Li Xin thought of other aspects and hurriedly asked him to write them down.

"These things have been done before, but weaving cloth with cotton is not as good as ordinary silk, and many techniques are still being explored. Because of this, the people are still a little reluctant to plant. ”

"Then reward them, especially those who improve the technology, or invent new methods. In this way, it is definitely good for improving our various technologies! Li Xin waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Xia Guan understands, and he will arrange this matter when he goes back!" Xu Fuzi hurriedly responded.

"Also, the household department is the key to our Huashan Army's money and food, you have to worry more about these things! The situation in the world is uncertain, the faster our strength develops, the greater the grasp of the future! Therefore, whether it is farming or business, you must be extra careful, especially in the two places of Shangluo and Xuanjuan! In the end, Li Xin also specially instructed.

"Don't worry, the general, the subordinates will remember it!"

"Alright, you go back first! By the way, call me the old horse! ”

After Xu Fuzi left, Lao Ma quickly rushed over. His engineering department is different from other departments, because the professionalism is very high, but it has little to do with other aspects. Therefore, on weekdays, Lao Ma is one of the few people who speak among the six Shangshu.

"See the general!" After the old horse saluted, he waited for Li Xin to speak.

"Old horse! I went to the north a few years ago, and in general, the official roads and post stations in various places have recovered well. It can be seen that in the past few years, you have not worked hard! Li Xin motioned for him to sit down on the side and said to him.

"The general has won the award, this is what the lower officials should do!" Lao Ma said modestly.

"How have you achieved the goals in the three-year plan? Three years is already half the time! Li Xin looked at him and asked.

"On the whole, the progress is quite smooth, and the general also knows that the things in charge of the Ministry of Engineering are basically related to the project. In addition to the technicality, this thing depends on time. After all, it depends on whether God helps or not, and the second is that you can't delay the agricultural time! So, at the end of the year, there is only a limit to what can be done. However, the goals set before have basically started construction, but it will take time to complete! The old horse hurriedly replied.

This is not wrong, after all, engineering is not like doing farm work, the season is relatively fixed. Every project is different, the time is long, the difficulty is also high and low.

Li Xin also understands this, so he said: "There is no trivial matter in the project, it doesn't matter if it is slow, in short, it is necessary to ensure quality and safety." ”
