Chengdu / capital has changed a lot in the past three years, as the county governance of Shu County, but also the place where the Yizhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion is located, and it is the current political center of Ye Zhao, the main place for Ye Zhao to implement various new policies, from the second year of the first peace to the third year of Jian'an, it has been eight years, and now Chengdu, as far as the eye can see, is a three-story or even four-story high-rise building, most of these are private houses, several or more than a dozen households live in one building.

In later generations, such cities belong to remote towns, but in this era, ordinary people can live in this kind of neat floors of cement, stone and wood, if it is placed in the Central Plains, it is almost an impossible thing.

In addition to Ye Zhao's current Taiwei Mansion, Yizhou Mu's official residence and a few dignitaries in the city, most of them live on this floor, including most of the officials and wealthy households, and some of the wealthy households' Zhuangzi are basically outside the city.

At least in the city, there are few families who raise children, after all, there is no manor, and there is no place to put too many families, which also limits the possible impact of those large families in the city on law and order.

The re-demolished and rebuilt city wall has expanded a lot, because of the continuous use of cement and the further improvement of the Shengong camp, the gap in cement technology is not obvious compared with that of later generations.

The main road paved with bluestone is connected with cement, which can accommodate four horse-drawn carriages in parallel without being crowded, and on both sides of the main street are a dazzling array of shops, inns and restaurants, as well as food vendors, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians, even if it is still winter, the main street is still full of traffic during the day, and you can already see many barbarians of various ethnic groups swaggering on the street.

Nowadays, with the pacification of Nanzhong, a large number of barbarians are naturalized, and all kinds of fruits, herbs, furs, precious woods or gold, silver and jade that are abundant in southern Xinjiang are transported to Shuzhong.

"I'm curious, how did you get all those big families to move out of the city?" Back to Taiwei Mansion, Ye Zhao didn't have too much wind and dust, after all, he came back by flying boat, now Ye Zhao's car has been updated and more comfortable, naturally he can't feel the bumps and fatigue of the journey, after walking around the city, he returned to Taiwei Mansion, and recruited the three main backbones of Xi Zhicai, Li Ru, and Man Chong to ask.

The change of Chengdu/Capital made Ye Zhao feel a sense of surprise, it can be said that it has exceeded his expectations, and the reconstruction of the city along the way is not bad.

The biggest problem in rebuilding the city is naturally those rich households, Ye Zhao pays attention to the rule of law, and naturally he can't drive people out for no reason, this is his bottom line, whether it is Xi Zhicai or Li Ru, he will not overstep it, as for the full favor, he is a supporter of the rule of law, and he will not do this kind of thing.

"Do you remember what you said about the right of first lease of official land and the right to reduce taxes with meritorious service?" Li Ru and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and smiled, and bowed to Ye Zhao.

The right of priority is a decree issued by Ye Zhao at the beginning, although the official land under the rule of the government can not be bought and sold, but there is a right of priority lease, all the families of the soldiers who died in the war, and those who have made meritorious contributions to Shu, can enjoy the priority lease right for three years at a time, and can rent up to 1,000 acres of fertile land, and reduce the tax by half within three years, although it is only three years, but 1,000 acres for two days plus half a tax, even for the family, can not be ignored, especially when Ye Zhao is now very strict with the official field.

Ye Zhao nodded when he heard this, he probably knew the countermeasures of a few people, and offered the mansion in the city for reconstruction, which could be calculated as Chenggongxun, and then give them the right to lease first and the right to reduce taxes for three years.

Not counting those scholars, with the promotion of manure now, grain production has increased greatly, the economic form and the road to wealth in Shu has not only relied on the land, animal husbandry, breeding, business, learning crafts, in the case of worry-free food and clothing, in fact, even if these lands are handed over to those scholars for a long time to plant Ye Zhao will not mind, of course, the premise is that they can recruit people to help them farm.

Since there are various ways to get rich, learning a craft is more profitable than farming, who will help people farm, they can only recruit people from the homeless people to farm, but the homeless people are not every year, and Shuzhong himself does not produce homeless people.

However, agriculture is always the top priority, Ye Zhao must ensure that there is enough population engaged in agriculture, that is to say, Ye Zhao must ensure the income of farmers, otherwise, if they all feel that farming cannot feed people, over time, the people will not farm, and the fields will fall back into the hands of a few people, so that these few people have mastered the food resources, which is equivalent to taking Ye Zhao's seven inches.

"It's a bit early, but in order to avoid a food crisis, I think the government should come up with a guideline to ensure the income of farmers." Ye Zhao knocked on the table with his fingers, and said to Man Chong: "Tomorrow, the government will post a notice, from today onwards, the government will set up grain stations in each county, and the grain price will be marked according to the annual market, and the surplus grain in the hands of the people can be sold at the grain station, of course, private trading is not prohibited." ”

The meaning of the existence of the grain station is to avoid someone deliberately raising or lowering the price of grain so that the income of farmers is damaged, and now that Ye Zhao has completely controlled Shuzhong, some possible future hazards must be cut off as soon as possible, so as not to be unbearable when it breaks out in the future.

"This move of the Lord is a great move for the benefit of all people!" Xi Zhicai, Man Chong, and Li Ru's eyes lit up when they heard this, they had similar worries before, and they also thought of some countermeasures, but they were all palliatives rather than cure, Ye Zhao's decree came out, and it could almost put an end to the excessive fluctuations in grain prices, as for what to do if there was too much surplus grain in the hands of the government, there was no need to worry about this at all, the grain in the troubled times was a strategic material, as long as they were willing to sell it, they would never have to worry about not being able to sell it, even if it was Ye Zhao's enemy, I am afraid that they could only grit their teeth and trade with Ye Zhao.

In this way, the grain price market will basically be stabilized, and as long as this decree remains unchanged and can be thoroughly implemented, there will not be too many fluctuations, and the peasants will be stable, and the foundation of Shuzhong will not be shaken.

Ye Zhao looked at the expressions of the three of them, and raised his eyebrows: "Looking at the expressions of the three people, could it be that there is already this sign in Shuzhong?" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded with a wry smile and said: "The lord is like a god, there are indeed many families with this idea, which is still brewing now, but it has begun to appear unstable, if it cannot be solved in time, at most two years, there will be problems." ”

"Sure enough, desire is the greatest force that promotes human evolution!" When Ye Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but admire.

If he hadn't restricted the sale of official land, and plundered a large amount of private land when he entered Shu, which indirectly restricted the issue of land annexation, these people probably would not have been able to think in such a short period of time I don't know how many years, this idea is already very advanced, but it is a pity that Ye Zhao's decree completely turned these people's preparations for several years into nothingness.

"Let's talk about the college, counting it, it has been five years since the academy was built, what is the result?" Ye Zhao sat down and looked at the two of them, this was the issue he was most concerned about at the moment.

"Now there are nearly 1,000 students in Chengdu/Du Academy, among them, in addition to the students who studied in the academy when the lord left, most of them have entered from the county school through assessment, in addition, the students of the schools have begun to be promoted to the county school, and in the past three years, they have been selected to be suitable for officials, there are one hundred and twelve people, most of them are talents from one county, and the rest have either changed their skills or gone to the county schools to teach, and now the counties of Yizhou include the four counties of Nanzhong, a total of two hundred and seventy-eight schools, which can ensure that a large number of people who want to learn can join, Nowadays, the county school will conduct an assessment every year to screen talents who can enter the county school, and the Chengduyuan Academy will take an examination every three years to admit good talents. Xi Zhicai smiled and said to Ye Zhao: "With my talent reserve in Yizhou now, it is enough to occupy the land of Guanlong." ”

One hundred and twelve county magistrates are enough for Ye Zhao not to worry about the lack of talents for a long time to come, and after Ye Zhao's eight-year governance, Yizhou has accumulated military strength and heritage, even if he is out of Shu at this moment, he no longer has to worry about the problem of governing talents.

"Those who know me are also talented!" A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Zhao's eyes, now the development of Shuzhong has exceeded Ye Zhao's expectations, he does have the intention of external expansion, and now Shudi has basically completed the reconstruction, and the population of Shuzhong, because of the endless war in Guanzhong in the past two years, a large number of people have poured into Shuzhong, which is also a reason to speed up the construction of Shuzhong.

Xi Zhicai smiled, but he didn't say anything, Ye Zhao was also forced to be helpless when he entered Shu, although the world is big, but there are not many places suitable for Ye Zhao, now Ye Zhao's step-by-step development in Shu He sees it in his eyes, and he probably understands Ye Zhao's thoughts, now on the background, Shuzhong has matured, and it is indeed the time to go out of Shu, in the past two years, he has watched the situation in the world, and the previous chaos has gradually become clear over time, at this time, if Ye Zhao can't grab a piece of territory as a springboard before the new round of princes annexation, If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to think of Ekeka again.

"Yun Chang and Xu Rong's army have not returned, so they just take this opportunity to rest for a while, and wait for these days to sort out the information of the Central Plains, and then discuss it after the generals return." Ye Zhao got up and said.

"Congratulations to my lord!" The three of them hurriedly got up and saluted Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao went straight out of the main hall, the three of them left to deal with things, and Ye Zhao returned to his residence, in the past three years, he has been getting together less and leaving more with his two beloved wives, and his two sons can't take care of him for a long time, the eldest son Ye Zheng is now almost ten years old, and now he sees Ye Zhao has no closeness, only fear and alienation, Ye Zhao is ready to accompany his wife and children in the next time while the army has not yet been raised.

Reunion after a long absence, dry wood and fire, this night is indescribable and lingering......
