In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years of the great cause, and under Li Wenyuan's careful planning, although Li Liang took away some soldiers and horses, he lost most of the gold and silver accumulated over the years. Later, after Li Wenyuan occupied Jiayuguan first, his vitality was greatly damaged. Annoyed and angry, Li Liang led his troops to capture Jiayuguan several times without success, but suffered heavy casualties. After that, he retreated to Dunhuang County and Yiwu County, and after Li Wenyuan got the wealth left by Li Liang, he was also temporarily relieved, relying on the support of these wealth to promote some of his policies, and spent the first Spring Festival after he came to the Sui Dynasty.

Thanks to the fact that the power of the Western Regions has always been very weak, it can be said that it is almost none. Therefore, Li Wenyuan's land policy was successfully promoted, and as a person who has traveled through time, how can he ignore the most profitable bank? Negotiations in recent months have finally made progress, and the major merchants based in the Western Regions have finally united under the leadership of Li Wenyuan to form the first bank in China and even in the world at this time, Fengli Bank.

With the help of ultra-low-interest loans launched by Fengli Bank, a large number of serfs who were forced to rely on those wealthy families and government governments for their livelihood redeemed their slave contracts and became free people again. They have all bought their own fields and started to prepare for this spring's farming, rekindling their yearning for life. At the same time, after allowing the landlords who had relied on the work of serfs to obtain profits to participate in the bank's investment dividends, the new tax policy that had been planned in detail was smoothly promulgated.

"The main task of each county this year is to count the population of each county in detail, and arrange for these people to come to the government to receive their unique identity plates. Anyone who has received an identity plate, regardless of whether he is a farmer or a businessman, as long as he is an employee, can receive a stone of fine grain every year. As for those who are idle and unemployed, they can only receive one stone of coarse grain every year to barely feed themselves. In addition, whether it is a soldier or an officer, their families can receive an additional three stone of fine grain per year as a reward. This is the subsistence allowance policy I told you about earlier, and the purpose of introducing this is to ensure that no one starves to death under our rule. Li Wenyuan said to Qian Wentong and Xue Renyue in front of him, after all, he only really grasps these two counties now, so he can only promote his own very alternative policy in these two counties.

"Second, the counties should take back all the rights to mine well salt from private individuals. From today onwards, only the official uniform has the right to sell well salt, and all the rest are illegal. Once discovered, the salt mine will be directly sealed, and all the proceeds from the sale of well salt will be confiscated. At the same time, the subsistence allowance policy they enjoy will be adjusted to the lowest level, and the next generation will not be allowed to join the ranks. Li Wenyuan continued.

"Third, all children who have reached the age of five in the county must be forced to enter a private school set up by the government to read and write. For five years, there is no charge and a meal is provided once a day at noon. In this private school, students who are willing to teach are recruited from the Hanseiin School as teachers. At the same time, in order to avoid these children, after leaving the private school, the four bodies are not diligent, and the grains are not divided. In addition to reading and literacy every day, corresponding physical education classes should be arranged. The instructors of the physical education class are the martial artists of the local martial arts hall. These martial artists must consider their character comprehensively before they can teach these children. I hope that the children who come out of our government private school can be as civil and military as martial saints. Don't be like Zhang Sanye, you can only be a reckless person. Speaking of this, the three of them laughed together for a while, and then Li Wenyuan raised a fourth finger and said:

"Fourthly, and most importantly, child brides must be forcibly banned under our rule. For child brides who have already paid a dowry, Fengli Bank provides interest-free loans. Redemption of child brides is allowed at double prices, and this bank-funded redemption policy is limited to one year. After a year, if they still refuse to return the child bride, then the government will come forward to enforce the return of the child bride. In addition, men can only talk about marriage when they reach the age of weak crowns and women when they reach the year of jasper. If both men and women marry after the age of 29, then each person will be rewarded with an additional half stone of fine grain per year. Those who marry forcibly and forcibly marry are punished severely, and those who steal the heirs of others are all guilty of capital crimes. In addition, in order to ensure the smooth and safe production, the government should go deep into each village to set up free midwifery points, recruit those experienced midwives to work here, and the government will distribute the money. At the same time, if a woman is interested in receiving a baby, she can also assist the midwife at the delivery point to learn this skill. As a profession, midwifery can also enjoy the subsistence allowance of employees. After Li Wenyuan finished talking about his arrangement, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Li Wenyuan is still a little dissatisfied with the policies in these four areas that he has already announced. According to their own ideas, they should vigorously promote equality between men and women. However, under the current general trend of society, it is likely that forcibly promoting the policy of equality between men and women for a while will only be counterproductive. Anyway, now that their own subsistence allowance policy has come out, both men and women have the ability to survive on their own. After solving these worries, I will slowly and imperceptibly promote the change of the view of male superiority and inferiority in this society, and sooner or later one day I can abandon the bad habit of male superiority and inferiority.

After Qian Wentong and Xue Renyue returned to their county capital, they began to vigorously implement the policies formulated by Li Wenyuan. It is backed by the military power in Li Wenyuan's hands. On the whole, the implementation went smoothly, and occasionally some discordant voices were suppressed without causing any chaos under Li Wenyuan's strong pressure. After the land tax was exempted from the peasants, the peasants' enthusiasm for farming was suddenly aroused. Large tracts of uninhabited wasteland in the two counties have been reclaimed for farmland, and water conservancy repairs last winter have made farmers optimistic about this autumn's harvest. Compared with the famine and hardship of farmers elsewhere, Wuwei County and Zhangye County seem to have a peaceful and prosperous world.

However, these things did not make Li Wenyuan too worried, and the original dissatisfaction of some rich families in the two counties did not break out for long, and they turned around and sided with Li Wenyuan in the compensation given to them. He welcomed one of his most important guests in the county capital of Wuwei County today.
