Whoa~

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the time of the year passes quickly.

The first year of the emperor was an extraordinary year for Huaguo, but it was the most stable year for Sima Yu after coming to this world.

During this year, there was almost no fighting in the whole of China, and the rule of China was consolidated in this stable year.

The whole country of China has millions of square kilometers of land in four states, the territory is extensive, and there are more than 10 million people under its rule, who come from different eras, composed of many ethnic groups such as Han, Nanyi, Xianbei, Wa, Nanban, etc., and the language, folk culture, and weights and measures used are different, which is not convenient for the integration and management of the Chinese people.

In order to break down this barrier and accelerate the integration of the people of all ethnic groups, the implementation of the policies of several major countries in this year has made the foundation of China's rule rapidly consolidated.

First, unify the language and script, and unify the weights and measures.

After deliberation by the three provinces and six ministries, Sima Yu finally decided to adopt the suggestion of Zhou Dunyi, a great Confucian in the Northern Song Dynasty, to establish Chinese as the official language in the Northern Song Dynasty and adopt the weights and measures system in the Northern Song Dynasty.

After the great ethnic integration of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the economy and culture of the two Song dynasties reached their heyday.

The language and culture of the Northern Song Dynasty not only retained the essence of Han civilization, but also integrated many customs and characteristics of various ethnic groups, which was more convenient to promote in China.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the degree system was based on zhang, ruler, inch, and division, 1 inch was 10 minutes, 1 foot was 10 inches, and 1 zhang was 10 feet, and the length of one zhang was about 3.12 meters in today's unit meters.

The measurement system is based on the unit of stone, dendrobium, bucket, liter, and combination, 1 liter is 10 he, 1 bucket is 10 liters, 1 stone is 5 buckets, 1 stone is 2 dun, and 1 stone is equivalent to 67 liters today.

The balance is based on stones, catties, taels, and money, and is divided into units, 1 stone 120 catties, 1 catty 16 taels, 1 tael 10 money, 1 money 10 cents, and 1 stone is equivalent to 150 catties today.

In order to facilitate the implementation of the language and weights and measures system in the early stage, Sima Yu used the people's livelihood in the national treasury system to issue a large amount of money, food and materials, and distributed them to ordinary people in the form of rewards to encourage the people to learn the new language and weights and measures system.

Second, establish Taixue and promote education.

No matter which dynasty or generation, education is always the foundation of a country, and it is even more important for China, which is composed of multiple ethnic groups in different eras.

Sima Yute aimed to divide an area covering an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers in the northern suburbs of Kyoto and build Taixue, which is the highest university in China. The first Taixue sacrificial wine was the great Confucian Zhou Dunyi. There will be several categories in Taixue, including classics, mathematics, ink, law, military science, and miscellaneous studies, among which the classified subjects under the jurisdiction of miscellaneous studies are the most complex.

Taixue enrollment is not divided into ages, there is no fixed study period, and the academic ability can be discharged when the assessment level is reached. 3,000 students are enrolled every year, regardless of whether they are from poor families or from the world, and two rounds of assessment and enrollment are uniformly adopted: test papers and interviews.

In addition to Taixue, government schools are funded by the government in each county and county, and the education set up by the government schools is similar to that of Taixue, but it is limited to the scale and some subjects have been deleted.

Regardless of whether it is a Taixue or a government school, the salaries of all teachers and trainees are paid by the state treasury, and students only need to pay a small amount of money to enroll.

Of course, due to the start-up, many of the subjects designed by Taixue are still vacant because they have not found suitable teachers or there are no students to apply for the examination.

However, it is believed that with the government's publicity and the increasing needs of social development, all subjects will be improved.

To this end, Sima Yu also deliberately aimed to recruit people with relevant abilities nationwide, especially people from the Republic of China since the modern period, and those who have the ability are recruited as teachers.

Third, we should emphasize agriculture and promote industry and commerce.

In the cold weapon period when the production capacity was underdeveloped, agriculture has always been the most important criterion for measuring a country's strength, and only with more abundant food can more people be bred and more troops can be recruited to wage wars against foreign countries.

In February of the first year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Sima Yu of the Chinese State issued an edict to advise the people of the world to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land.

Of course, in ancient times, although it was not easy to cultivate fields, in order to limit the unrestricted and inefficient cultivation of fields by the common people, the government would formulate a unified quota standard according to the different conditions of each county.

In order to encourage the common people to open up the wasteland to grow grain, the tax system of 30 taxes and one is adopted for private land in the whole of China, and there is no need to pay taxes on grain transactions.

A small amount of official land was set up in each county, and the soldiers and people of the counties were mainly responsible for cultivating it, as long as it was used to ensure the supply of military rations.

As one of the private properties of the people, private land can also be traded, but it is subject to high transaction taxes.

At the same time, special full-time officials have been set up in various parts of the country to manage private land, who are responsible for registering and keeping a register of private land and distributing subsidies for grain seeds.

Encourage intensive farming, send special agricultural planting experts to the countryside every year to guide the people in farming, conduct real-time supervision of the cultivation of private land in various localities, and appropriately raise the tax system for peasant households whose cultivation level is seriously lower than the local average level, and then transfer it back to its original state after it reaches the standard, and directly return to the state of private land that has been abandoned for more than two years.

While attaching importance to the development of agriculture, Sima Yu still attaches importance to the development of industry and commerce. The abolition of the idea of the peasant's status raised the status of the merchant to the same level as that of the peasants and workers. Exemption from customs duties and very low transaction tax on goods only.

Sima Yu, who came from later generations, understood very well that only through the commercial activities of merchants could the financial value in the hands of the people be maximized, and the economies of various places could be inventoried, and exchanges and communication between localities could be strengthened.

This point is clearly shown by the role played by merchants on the road to his rise, and the various workshops and trade routes in Yongzhou have created countless wealth for the people and provided a vigorous impetus for his rise.

Fourth, open Enke, select capable officials.

At the beginning of the establishment of the country, whether it was the three provinces and six ministries of the central government and the Yushitai, or the local governments, they urgently needed a large number of officials to fill in.

In June of the first year of the emperor's reign, after half a year of brewing, Huaguo held the first imperial examination selection, and the literary and martial examinations were carried out at the same time.

As soon as the news came out, talented people from all over the country enthusiastically participated, and for the first time, more than 1,000 capable officials were selected to serve as the central and local authorities, thus postponing the talent crisis in China.

The implementation of this series of policies has injected vigorous vitality into the whole country and greatly enhanced the enthusiasm of the people in various localities.

In the first year of the emperor's reign, the scene of people everywhere keen to learn the Han nationality and weights and measures became a common practice, and people can be seen everywhere sweating and cultivating private fields, and workshops and caravans are all over the county.

Sima Yu's millions of horses from the flags and boxes of ancient artifacts were also sold cheaply to the hands of the people everywhere, and the sufficient manpower and horsepower made the productivity of the people greatly improved.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, in terms of agriculture, in the first year of the emperor's reign alone, the total amount of newly reclaimed private land in the country exceeded 1 billion mu, and the total amount of fertile land in the whole country exceeded 2 billion mu, truly becoming a major agricultural power.

In terms of industry and commerce, 300,000 new workshops of various sizes have been added throughout the country, 230,000 new shops have been added, 750,000 registered businessmen have been registered, more than 10,000 caravans have joined the Qilin Business Alliance, and various industrial and commercial taxes have been collected throughout the year totaling hundreds of millions of taels of gold, accounting for more than half of the total annual treasury revenue.

The brilliant achievements made in this year have laid a solid foundation for the foundation of Huaguo's imperial industry.
