Gao Yihuan didn't really mean to blame Wang Yifeng, because he knew that the reason for this status quo was himself.

Wang Yifeng hurriedly ran over, and was said by Gao Yihuan, thinking that King Gao was not satisfied with the place he managed, and he was terrified, but in a few years, he would find that his trip was still very worthwhile.

Gao Yihuan knows a lot of things, so when he sees many of the current situations at this time, he is not very pleasing to the eye and not very satisfied.

He was accustomed to seeing rice paddies, canals, and a network of national highways, provincial roads, and township roads, connecting every part of the country.

He knew that the soil erosion in northern Shaanxi was serious, and he could not over-cultivate, and he understood that the structure of the cities was unreasonable, the streets were muddy when it rained, the city was foul, and there were swarms of flies.

After Gao Yihuan saw this, he naturally had an urge to reform, so he felt that he had a lot to do.

Therefore, when he saw that the land could not be irrigated, he wanted to build a well-developed water conservancy network, and when he saw that the roads were narrow and muddy, he wanted to repair the official roads.

Now he is also preparing to restore the ecology of northern Shaanxi, and is also preparing to renovate Wangjing and other cities, build a well-developed sewer system in the city, and also need to widen the streets, and the streets are covered with bricks and stones.

Gao Yihuan is full of energy, he wants to do everything, there are a lot of projects to be lined up, and in order to dominate the world, the army of the vassal country is still expanding, and the manufacture of ordnance is also stepping up.

Gao Yihuan set up the council, not because he really wanted to be lazy, but because he found that he had too many things to do.

However, everything has a degree, too much, it is obvious that Gao Yihuan is in a hurry.

After talking with the people in Jingyang, Gao Yihuan returned to Wangjing, suppressed his eagerness, invited the cabinet to discuss, and finally decided to cut some things that were not very urgent and let the people take a breath.

Of course, it is impossible for Gao Yihuan to give up all the previous resolutions, in fact, his major policy remains unchanged, and the arms expansion war is still going on as usual, and even has to be carried out at a faster pace.

In addition to restoring the people's strength, he cut other projects to ensure that key projects such as the expansion of the army could be carried out.

It is too much to do, and it is also not good not to do it, and large-scale construction should be carried out less now, so Gao Yihuan quickly shifted his energy to other directions.

Nowadays, Wangjing of the Western Wei Dynasty has a population of nearly 500,000, although it is not as good as Nanjing, but it is already quite prosperous.

After the Western Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Xi'an, the city of Xi'an was re-planned, and a total of one hundred and eight squares were divided, and some of these squares were residential, and some were restaurants and inns, all of which had different functions.

In the trading market in the city, there are two cities, the east market, which mainly buys and sells goods from Jiangnan and Western Wei, and the west market sells goods from the Western Regions, as well as cattle, sheep and horses from Mongolia and Wusi.

At this time, Gao Yihuan, Li Guo, Chen Mingxia and others appeared in the East Market, the market was full of people, and carts full of goods passed through the streets, and there were brick and stone shops on both sides, which were placed with various goods.

In the various shops in the market, there are various goods such as grain, mutton, cloth, porcelain, tea, etc., and many people are surrounded in front of each store, laughter, shouting, shouting, and bargaining, making the market particularly lively.

Gao Yihuan and his party continued to walk forward and entered the market, where commodities were traded.

At this time, in a square in the middle, more than a dozen carts full of cloth and silk were parked in one place, and an official of the Wei State stood on a car, surrounded by more than a dozen merchants wearing brocade, including two Hu merchants.

At this time, the official of the Wei State read first: "Songjiang high-grade silk, a total of twelve cars, the reserve price is three thousand silver dollars. ”

The merchants also took a piece of paper with information about the goods written on it, and they checked the goods and began to bid.

"Three thousand three hundred silver dollars!"

"Three thousand five hundred silver dollars!"

"Four thousand silver dollars!"

The owner of the goods on the side looked at them nervously, silently reciting a number in his mouth, and finally the entire batch of goods was taken by a Hu merchant for 4,000 silver dollars.

The official hurriedly gave the owner of the goods and the Hu merchant a note, and the goods were driven aside, and the next merchant drove in another batch of goods and handed a piece of paper to the petty official.

At this time, Gao Yihuan couldn't help asking: "How many pieces of cotton cloth from Jiangnan were there in the past year, and they came to our Dawei to sell." ”

Li Guo and the others didn't know, but the officials of Dongshi should know, so he turned his head and ordered, and after a while, he saw a small official coming, Li Guo asked a few words and replied: "King, last year, in the last year, there were 250,000 horses in Dongshi alone. If you include the purchase of armor by the feudal government for the manufacture of armor, as well as the trade volume of other provinces, the minister thought that it should be close to one million horses. ”

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, and suddenly asked, "From this year on, can you increase 500,000 horses every year?" ”

"Why is that?" Li Yan couldn't help asking: "The cloth in the south of the Yangtze River is of high quality and low price, and it has a great impact on my textile workshop in Dawei. If it weren't for government procurement, most of them would have gone out of business, and if we increased procurement, then our own workshop would not be able to do it! ”

Gao Yihuan said with a smile: "Mr. Li is full of poetry and books, but he has ever known the allusion that the Lu country planted mulberry and destroyed the country. ”

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, naturally knowing this.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Duke Huan of Qi wanted to dominate, but the Liang State of Lu developed rapidly, posing a threat to the overlord Qi State. He wants to fight but is afraid that he will break his neighbors and hurt himself, and he will lose the buffer zone between him and Chu.

Qi Huan asked Guan Zhong: "Is there any way to deal with these two countries?" ”

Guan Zhong said, "The people of Luliang are good at weaving silk. Please take the lead in wearing cloth with the nobles, and call on all the rich people in the country to wear imported clothes. Moreover, it is necessary to restrict domestic industry from prohibiting production. So the landlords of Luliang must give up farming and let the farmers produce silk to make silk. ”

Qi Huan Gong acted according to the plan, and for a time it was popular to wear silk clothes throughout the country, and the price of silk in Qi rose sharply. The state can intervene in procurement, and the supply of Lu Min exceeds demand, and the price soars.

When the people of Lu saw that weaving was profitable, they took the initiative to give up farming and weave it in a swarm. The people of Lu saw that the money was open, and the Duke of Lu Zhuang was also greedy for taxes, and allowed the whole country to weave with all its might, and no longer grow grain. As a result, Lu showed a textile frenzy of "every household textile machine sounds, and every household is busy weaving".

As a result, the originally fertile fields of the Lu country were barren.

"What a clever plan for the king!" Chen Mingxia praised when he heard it.

Gao Yihuan returned to Wang Jing for a few days and stayed in the palace all the time, originally thinking that he was going to stop, but he didn't expect to hold back another bad idea.

Li Guo frowned and said: "The king, the country of Lu is a small country, but Nanming is a behemoth, copying the example of the ancestors, I am afraid it will be difficult to work." Besides, with allusions, Nanjing is also easy to see! ”
