In the first battle of Chibi, the Kaiyuan Emperor Liu Yi mobilized a million troops to sweep Sun Liu in the southeast and set the Han Dynasty as a unification. However, it did not have much impact on the normal life of the people, and war must not hinder the development of social production, which is now Liu Yi's principle.

Beiping, the capital of the Han Dynasty, is the world's leading city at this time, and now the city is eighteen miles from north to south, nineteen miles from east to west, and sixteen neat streets with eight horses to sixteen horses parallel to the capital city are neatly like a chessboard. The streets are wide and tidy, the houses are scattered, there are 98,736 households, and more than 568,000 mouths of the Han capital is undoubtedly a dreamlike existence for those overseas people who come to do business.

In the past five years, the biggest theme of the whole Han is construction, especially the capital Beiping, which now has dense pipes under the smooth streets, drainage and sewage to purify the city! I remember that at that time, there was also a counselor who proposed to Emperor Kaiyuan, was this move too extravagant? The emperor replied: "What is the people's livelihood, eating, drinking, and benefiting the people, what is extravagance?" Their general, now His Majesty has always kept the people in mind, so they have also burst out with great strength in the construction, and enjoy the convenience of hard work!

The official is an official position established by Liu Yi after he ascended the throne, and it is specially given to departments at all levels to give advice, and the quality is from the third grade to the seventh grade, their official position may not be high but they have the privilege of direct advice and not being held accountable, and the crime of the official must be tried by the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple, and the officials in Beijing even have to go through Liu Yi and Liu Huan!

"Open the way of loyalty, listen to different voices." It is Liu Yi's definition of a counselor, and he hopes that using such an institution can make the Han Dynasty make fewer mistakes and detours in the process of development. The candidates for the counselors are recommended by the states and counties, and they must be loyal, upright, courteous, and righteous, and then they must go through extremely strict examinations before they can be appointed.

Contrary to the vigorous investment in the construction of people's livelihood, the scale of the Forbidden City has not been greatly expanded, I am afraid that the only change is the extra piece of mountain forest covering an area of ten acres in the southwest corner, here is still Zhao Hai's donation, all the tree species and terrain are imitated Yu Mountain, the queen is fully supported, and the husband is often regretted that he can't go back to have a look, so that he can give him some comfort.

The south side of the Forbidden City is Chang'an Avenue, which can be used for 16 horses in parallel, and directly opposite is a large square covering an area of 20 acres, a stone tablet with a width of five zhang and a thickness of three zhang and a height of ten zhang stands tall, and it is engraved with the names of almost all the soldiers and generals who can be found on the battlefield for people to pay homage, and the Kaiyuan Emperor will pay tribute to the heroic soul here every July 15.

And the officials also have opinions on this, the number of people in the harem of the Kaiyuan Emperor is too small, which is not in line with the ancestral system, and it is difficult to show the majesty of the Son of Heaven. I remember that Liu Yi couldn't smile bitterly at this time, it's okay to do business, and you are also in charge of family affairs. The emperor said that the people's livelihood has been suffering since the chaos of the Han Dynasty, and now Fang Gang has just set aside the chaos and the first thing is to support the people, and he cannot be easily harassed.

But this time, the officials did not back down, and in their eyes, the internal affairs of the Son of Heaven were also official affairs, so they all insisted on it, and in the end Liu Yi had to agree to be elected once in the people. The news also caused quite a stir in the Han Dynasty, and the number of people who applied for the final election of 100 people reached 10,000, and the people were extremely enthusiastic.

Beiping City merchants gathered, all industries are prosperous, but in recent years, in addition to the biggest changes in urban construction, the other very eye-catching is the school, every day from the fifth watch will come out of Lang Lang's sound of reading, neat children's voice is very pleasant.

"There is a school for every 3,000 households." This is the benchmark set by Liu Yi, he is very familiar with the capital of the Han Dynasty where he is located, and the state and county level is set by the chief executive according to the local details, Liu Yi requires officials and even the prince and himself to be down-to-earth in politics, and only after understanding the situation clearly can they make a decision.

"I don't want your praise of virtue and official articles, what I want is a real livelihood and a detailed way to deal with it. The head of your county is the parent and official of tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people in one county and one county, and you should have mercy on them, and you must not be high. Three years ago, Liu Yi toured around and made the above speech to every official, which is also a reflection of his true intentions.

Official corruption has been common in all dynasties, and it is not practical to ban it completely, and effective means are worth exploring. Emperor Hongwu ruled corruption, and if he was greedy for a hundred taels of silver, he would have to peel off the skin and fill the grass, which can be described as extremely cruel. But can it be stopped in this way, the effect is not ideal.

Liu Yi adopts a two-pronged approach of high salary, honesty and strict supervision, if you are an official, who else wants to do it? Of course, the gap between the rich and the poor must be controlled, and the officials' income should not be too excessive, but a series of measures can be adopted to compensate, such as surpassing the social status and reputation of ordinary people, preferential treatment of family members and children, supplemented by Tian'er, from the current point of view, the effect is still good, and most of the officials in the Han region can be called incorruptible.

"Study hard, study hard, become a useful body, benefit the people, serve the country, but also strengthen your body, don't be diligent in the five bodies, and don't divide the grains!" This is the admonition of the Kaiyuan Emperor when he gave a speech to the students in Youzhou Academy, she needs a lot of talents to build a Han Dynasty, in addition to being knowledgeable and knowledgeable, she must also be healthy and energetic, so that he can be regarded as a qualified talent, and he doesn't want to read dead books.

Correspondingly, in the school of Beiping City, including all levels of government offices will have supporting fitness venues, Mr. Hua Tuo and a doctor have also studied gymnastics by age, every day before class or work is a necessary procedure, the teaching of the school is to increase a lot of natural social content, of course, these schools are charged, military children and meritorious officials or have made outstanding contributions to the Han can enjoy special preferential treatment.

Even if the people's livelihood is rich now, the time is not yet ripe to do obligations in education, and Liu Yi will not do anything to help the seedlings grow. However, the tuition fee of the school is relatively low, and a normal family can afford it, and as long as they have the conditions, they will do their best to let their children study.

Today is a big day in Beiping, the palace west of the palace is crowded with people, and even the forbidden army has to come forward to maintain order, but it is not noisy, even if the conversation is mostly whispering. The big exam of Youzhou Academy is an extremely sacred thing in the hearts of students all over the world.

There must be a process in the development from the promotion to the opening of the department, and even with Liu Yi's prestige, the characteristics of the times must be taken into account. In this regard, his approach is to generalize from point to point, the latter is not a derogatory term here, when the method of taking materials from Youzhou Academy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the time has come for the imperial examination to be implemented.

On both sides of the gate of the Gongyuan are two rows of long wooden tables, each of which has four academy personnel checking the identity of the candidates, first of all, the iron plaque that is almost all hung around the neck, which weighs seven dollars and two cents, and on which are engraved the year name, state and county, name and place of origin, etc. The special method of engraving is the ID card of this era.

This was only implemented three years ago, and the prosperity of people's livelihood and the development of society have brought about a surge in population, so a perfect household registration system is extremely necessary. Don't underestimate this small iron card, the people cherish it very much, because it is closely related to its daily life, for example, if you want to pass through the state and county, you can't do it without it, including the exams in front of you. For those Japanese slaves who worked day and night in the mines, they were more willing to exchange their lives for it.

There are a lot of candidates who came, and there are not a few who send the exam, but the scene still seems to be in order, and the work of verifying the identity before the two long tables is also going very smoothly.

After a while, the appearance of two young men in white attracted everyone's attention, both of them were twelve or thirteen years old, but they were as handsome as adults, and their appearance was almost identical, although they were just wearing Confucian shirts and did not have any gorgeous decorations, but the bearing of the whole body was extremely noble. Seeing the two coming, many people took the initiative to make way for them, and the two responded politely, and they also consciously stood at the end of the candidate line, at this time, in addition to the entourage, there were forbidden soldiers to escort them.

"Brother, who are these two little boys? Why did you come to the exam at such a young age? Seeing this scene, a middle-aged man in the crowd who was dressed quite elegantly couldn't help but whisper to the locals around him and asked.

"Age? What's wrong with being young? Youzhou Academy can see this, last year's first prodigy Dongfang Lei is only thirteen years old, and his ambition is not old. You don't know either of them? Look closer. The man glanced at the other party when he heard this, and said a little proudly, born at the feet of the Son of Heaven is more or less arrogant to the people of Beiping, but in the end, his voice was lowered, and his tone was respectful.

"Look closer?" When the stranger heard this, he was slightly stunned and looked at it carefully, and after a while, he asked with a look of disbelief: "Could it be?"

"Even if you have eyesight, those are His Majesty's six princes and seven princes." Locals are right, many of the people's homes have portraits of Liu Yi, Mi Zhen's Liu Ren and Liu Li's twin brothers look very similar to Liu Yi, and it is not difficult to recognize them if you look closely.
