Xi Zhicai, Jian Yong, Zhao Yun and others went out of the city for thirty miles to greet Liu Bei and his party.

After greeting everyone, he led everyone back to the county seat of Yizhong County! At this time, the county seat of Yizhong was completely different from when he left, when Liu Bei left. The entire county town of Yizhong has only simply built a city wall, and the internal buildings have not yet been erected!

And now, the entire Yizhong County is not only the city wall, but also the buildings in the city have all been built, and the restaurants, inns, hospitals, yamen and so on in the city are all available!

Jian Yong also did not lead Liu Bei to other places, in Yizhou's county governance Yizhong County, Jian Yong had already built a mansion for Liu Bei, the entire mansion was built by the mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although it could not be compared with the Luoyang Palace, or even with the dilapidated Chang'an Palace, but it was not comparable to any building in the entire Yizhong County.

Seeing that the mansion had been arranged, Liu Bei and Cai Yan were still quite satisfied, and when they walked into the house, there were already many maids busy inside.

Liu Bei and Cai Yan rested in the mansion for the night, and the next morning, Liu Bei was anxious to discuss the matter.

This time, basically all the main officials in Yizhong County went to the conference hall of Liu Bei's mansion to discuss matters, on the left and right were the civil official group headed by Jian Yong, Xi Zhong, and Zhang Zhao, and on the right side were the military general group dominated by Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao, He Ting, and Wei Chi Zhan.

After everyone sat down, Liu Bei began to inquire about the development of the entire Yizhou in the past year.

"Hui Lord, in the past half a year, the entire Yizhou has built five counties, Yizhong County has 50,000 residents, Chiayi County on the southwest coast of Yizhong County has 30,000 residents, Yunmeng County on the west coast of Yizhong County has 40,000 residents, Xianju County in the south of Yizhong County has 30,000 residents, and in the past two months, the construction of Yizhou South Coastal Port County ---- Yinan County has begun, and now Yinan County has 30,000 people, except for the residents of the busy agricultural season and the reclamation of wasteland, the rest of the residents have been recruited to build the county seat, So all the county towns were built very quickly. ”

After a pause, Jian Yong continued, "And due to the increase in the number of people, a lot of businesses have been formed in various counties, and basically all kinds of measures in each county are readily available. At the same time, each county seat that has been built can accommodate at least 300,000 people except Yizhong County, and Yizhong County is a big city that can accommodate 500,000 people. ”

"Very good, since then, the whole Yizhou has more than 200,000 people, but it is still not enough, although Yizhou has a lot of mountains, but the plains are also quite a lot, there are a lot of mountains can build terraces, later I will Ma Jun invented the wind-powered waterwheel drawings to you, you arrange people to build a part of this waterwheel in a suitable place, convenient for the people to irrigate." Liu Bei was quite happy to hear about the population and the construction of the city.

In the chaotic Eastern Han Dynasty, how much land to occupy or how much money there is is not the foundation, the foundation is the population, as long as there is a population, there is an army, there is an army to fight, can grab land, grab money. After thinking about it, Liu Bei said again: "Issue a decree to encourage childbirth, no matter what kind of family of a couple, as long as they have more than three children, regardless of male or female, they can receive a part of the ration from the government every month." ”

Liu Bei thought about it and felt that it was not detailed enough and said: "The idea, one is that a husband and wife are not a family, one husband and one wife are one couple, and one husband and one concubine are also a couple, if a man has a wife and a concubine, it needs to be calculated separately." Second, one more child can receive one more adult ration, and two more children will receive two. Specifically, the constitution will discuss a charter with you and report it to me. ”

"No, in terms of cultivated land, the million acres of wasteland that was just reclaimed at the beginning of this year have been successfully planted with rice, and have been successfully harvested, and the yield of rice per mu has reached a rare three stones. And according to experienced farmers, rice can be planted at least twice or even three seasons in Yizhou. ”

"At the same time, in the non-agricultural season, except for the people who need to build a city, other people have arranged to reclaim wasteland, and the entire Yizhou has reclaimed nearly two million acres of wasteland in half a year, and it can be sown and planted again after the year."

"Well, that's great, but it's not just about growing rice, it's about diversifying." Liu Bei suggested.

"Regarding private schools, due to the serious shortage of civil officials in Yizhou at this stage, there are not a few private schools in the whole Yizhou, and due to the lack of books, an orderly education system cannot be formed. It will take some time to solve this problem. Jian Yong continued.

"No, it's too slow, this time, I brought back dozens of sets of books, and there will be a steady stream of complete sets of books printed out in the future, the whole Yizhou regardless of men and women, six years old must go to school, after the beginning of the year, in each county to build a new school, the school is divided into A, B, C, D, E, G, XIN, NON, 10, etc., each can be divided into up to 12 classes, such as Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, teach the study of governing the world, can not teach the art of war and martial arts, first-class students study for one yearFrom the beginning of the year to the end of the year, those who pass the year-end examination will be promoted to the second class, and so on. No matter what the class is, those who fail to pass the examination for three consecutive years will be dismissed. As for the 12 classes, there is no comparison, just the function of distinguishing that there are too many people in a class. ”

"Also, at the same time, each county has a new martial arts academy, and the students of the martial arts academy are unified from the school to the three-year examination to enter the martial arts academy to study, and at the same time, children who like martial arts or want to become my subordinate soldiers can also enter the martial arts academy to study, and the martial arts academy is also divided into A, B, C, D, E, J, G, XIN, REN, and Gui ten, etc., and can be divided into 12 classes at most, such as Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai, and the others according to the school, teaching words and the art of war and martial arts. Like the school, if you fail to pass the exam every three years, you will be dismissed. ”

"Finally, whether it is the academy or the martial arts academy, it should be noted that as long as you meet the requirements of three or two years of examination, you will be dismissed. Specifically, Xi Zhong and Xian and the two of you respectively took out the construction management plan of the martial arts academy and the academy to me, and I need to see it after the year. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei motioned for Jian Yong to continue his introduction.

"In terms of medical centers, at least three medical centers have been built in each county, and the problem of medical treatment for all people has basically been eliminated; At the same time, the construction of new county towns was suspended, and the main focus was on the construction of roads within each county and between counties. ”

"Very good, at present, the five county towns can accommodate a maximum of about 1.5 million people, and there is no need to build a city for the time being, and when the population exceeds one million, it is necessary to build a city and build the entire transportation network." Liu Bei appreciated.

"How's the income and expenditure?" Liu Bei continued to ask.

"The income of this Yizhou has not been able to meet the needs of construction, salaries, and subsidies for the people, and a total of 30,000 acres of salt fields have been cultivated, and there are more than 20,000 salt workers engaged in drying salt, and the annual output of 30,000 acres of salt fields is estimated to reach 1 million stones, but basically not shipped to the mainland of Dahan for sale, all through my Yizhou sailors, sold to Xianbei and other countries. And at present, the main industry is the salt field and the paper industry, the paper industry after several years of development, and now the entire paper industry has also moved to Yizhou, so there will be no more technology leakage, it can be said that the entire Han paper is seventy percent from Yizhou. With the support of this large industry, although the whole Yizhou is unable to make ends meet this year, it can also persevere, and it is believed that it will change a lot when Yantian begins to produce salt in large quantities next year. ”

After listening to Jian Yong's introduction of the political economy of the entire Yizhou, Liu Bei has no joy or sorrow, overall, the governance of the entire Yizhou is acceptable, but Jian Yong is not a great talent in internal politics after all, so for the governance of the entire Yizhou, there are still many deficiencies, but fortunately, the population of the entire Yizhou is not large, and Jian Yong's work is quite stable, so there will not be too many problems for the time being, but this is not a long-term solution.

In Liu Bei's impression, the entire Yizhou will become a large state with a population of more than 1.5 million in thirty years, so that it can truly become the foundation of the decisive battle.
