Chapter 167 Deepening the New Deal

Saying that Lin Feng is not afraid of death is a bit unrealistic, and he himself will find it ridiculous. Please search () to see the most complete! The fastest update

Because he was afraid of death, he continued to strengthen the Yan Kingdom, and constantly let himself have the strength to protect himself, otherwise, he would be like his predecessor, spending all day drinking, ignoring the government and politics, and living a happy life.

Therefore, when Meng Qinxue appeared, he especially dared to assassinate the emperor like Lu Siniang, and he succeeded, so he was a little scared in his heart.

After all, assassination, decapitation, is always impossible to prevent!

As the saying goes, don't do porcelain work without diamonds, like Meng Qinxue, with a long sword, the person who kills the prince must have great ability.

At this time, he didn't know the rest of the people, so he was naturally worried that a bewitching woman like Meng Qinxue would appear again.

"That's not it, Liu Yutong and the queen are called the two talented women of the northern country, Hui quality Lanxin, gentle and moving, known as fairies. The emperor must know that the queen has a high attainment in music. That Liu Yutong is also good at poetry and calligraphy. More importantly, he played the pipa well and was called the first at that time. ”

Wen Ji's master is elegant, directs the country, and swallows thousands of miles like a tiger, but he is not interested in a dangerous woman like Meng Qinxue, but it is a gentle woman like Liu Yutong that makes him tempted.

It's a pity that he is talented and prestigious for a long time, but he still can't get into Liu Yutong's eyes, and every time he talks about it, he is always heartbroken and helpless.

"Well, this is not bad, if you make a song with the queen, I am afraid it will be a natural sound." Lin Feng appreciated, and the worries in his heart were slightly lowered, and after thinking about it, he asked again. "Tell me, Wen Diewu."

Wen Diewu had a marriage contract with him, and Wen said that she was still young. It was not sent to Yan Kingdom, but she was still named Concubine Rong, which will. Lin Feng also wanted to know about Wen Die's Dance.

"Concubine Rong Niangniang is still young, but she is known as the most heroic woman in Shu, the year before last, Zheng and Shu were at war, and at the moment when the country and the nation were facing life and death, Niang Niang did not let her eyebrows, and went to the front line in person to reward the three counties.

And made a bold statement, who defeated Zheng Guo and recaptured his homeland. He married this person, but unfortunately, Shu was defeated after all. Now that Yan Guo and the Wen family are married, the emperor and Niangniang are a match made in heaven. Situ Dao. In his words, he highly respected Wen Die's dance.

I didn't expect it to be a bold woman. has the heart of worrying about the country and the people, and the character is certainly not bad.

Knowing what he should know, Lin Feng took a sip of tea, looked at the three Wen Jishi who were still unsatisfied, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, the topic of women will stop here, next." Let's get down to business.

Saiwai and his party, Yan Guo gained a lot. It's a pity that the people outside the country are sparsely populated, and I have moved all the people of Donghu to the interior. In addition, Yanguo's new policy should also bring forth the new, step by step refinement, how do you think these two things should be handled? ”

The three of Situ, after drinking warm tea, had already retracted their whimsical thoughts and shifted their attention to Yan Guo's political affairs.

Talking about women is where the interest lies, and the major national affairs are where the duty lies, and the three of them dare not be sloppy or take it lightly.

After changing his tone, Yu Zheming said: "Your Majesty, the population of Yan Kingdom is very small, and the three counties of Hunhe have been captured, and there are only two points to solve the population problem at present, abolishing slavery and redistributing land. Or issue a general order to announce to the world that anyone who enters the Yan Kingdom can obtain land. Of course, encouraging the population to have children must also be put on the agenda as early as possible. "When it comes to women, Yu Zheming is not good at words, but in terms of money, food, and population, this is his specialty, and he must have a good plan." However, far from quenching the thirst of the near, and at the same time encouraging fertility, slavery must be abolished, and the people of the princes and nations must be recruited into Yan. ”

"How many registered slaves are there in Yan Kingdom?" Lin Feng asked, slavery must cost money, there are too many people in this bondage.

According to Lin Feng's record, later generations measured the strength of a country, mainly including economic, political, military, cultural, technological strength, and so on.

In ancient times, this criterion did not seem appropriate, for example, today, when countries have a surplus of land and produce about the same amount of output per person. So basically the population and national strength are the same. When the population is large, the economy is prosperous and the country is prosperous.

After all, the most important factors to measure national strength are population and grain production.

The second includes land area, political system, science and technology, culture, and ethnic integration.

In order to be strong, the population must first be strong, the land will be effectively utilized, the grain production will increase, the tax will naturally increase, and the people's income will also increase.

The root cause of Yanguo's current problems is not the population, but the population is crucial.

"There are 700,000 people registered, and there are even more people who conceal and do not report, but fortunately, the population of Yan Country was counted two years ago, and it is easy to find out how much is hidden." Yu Zheming is colorful. "It's just that the Bishan area has not yet been surveyed, but the emperor can rest assured that the ministers will start arranging."

Lin Feng nodded, looked around at the three of Situ, and said: "The promotion of the new deal is deepening, I have some plans in my heart, I have thought about it for a long time, Yan Country is currently sparsely populated, and the withering of talents is the main problem facing Yan Country."

If the population problem is not solved, the problems of taxation, military resources, and labor cannot be solved. Therefore, encouraging childbearing must be on the agenda. In addition, it is far from enough to recruit talents from all over the world, and the influence of the imperial examination system is only in Yan State, and it is still difficult to promote it to the princes and countries. Therefore, I plan to follow the example of Zheng Guo and Li Zhao, set up a golden platform in the capital, and take Situ and Ji Shi as the benchmark for the country's pillars, and issue a merit-seeking order to the princes and countries to recruit talents from all over the world to enter Yan. At the same time, schools were established, especially military academies, and hundreds of celebrities were recruited to come to Yanguo to give lectures and preach and solve doubts. For now, I can think of so much for the time being, and you have any good ideas to add. ”

"The emperor said, almost to make up for the lack of the early stage of the new policy, however, the minister also suggested, the current merchants from various countries come and go to Yan, but the measurement of currency is not unified in various places, it is easy to cause trouble, the minister suggests, unified measurement, the implementation of a unified currency." Situ suggested that the new policy of Yanguo placed his ideals and ambitions, so he has always been concerned about his stomach and hopes for perfection.

Moreover, these two things are by no means simple, and the unification of measurement and currency will greatly facilitate the daily life of the people.

The unification of currency facilitates the exchange of commodities and materials, is conducive to the development of the commodity economy and the unification of the country, and strengthens national cohesion.

If the monetary weights and measures are not uniform, the money collected from buying and selling in the West is divided into several types, and some of the money is not recognized by some merchants.

In addition, the buyer asks for two catties of rice, and the seller gives you one catty according to their weights and measures, which will cause unnecessary trouble.

The unification of weights and measures and currency avoids this situation altogether.

"It is bound to be so, no matter how the princes and the kingdoms implement it, in the Yan country, only gold, silver and copper coins are circulated, Situ, this currency must be exchanged in equal amounts to avoid trouble." Lin Fengyan said.

The unification of currency is conducive to commercial circulation, commercial circulation, attracting businessmen from various countries, and having the interest of raising taxes, in Lin Feng's opinion, it should have been solved a long time ago.

Since the matter of the new deal was mentioned, Lin Feng wanted to make a decision today, and immediately sent An Heng to summon, Li Mengchang, Liu Chengfeng, Zhao Shide, and Lin Xiao into the palace.

The four of them entered the warm pavilion, sat down, and listened to Situ's explanation, and Gu was stunned.

In the two years since the New Deal was promoted, most of the scope was beneficial to scholars, merchants, and soldiers, and it had not yet challenged the interests of the old aristocracy, and there were very few obstacles.

At present, there are many things that Situ said that the four of them have never heard of before, and some ideas, in the eyes of the four of them, are also a bit radical. To make them a little surprised, these ideas and opinions were both thought up by Lin Feng and approved by him.

Like Lin Feng, who has a torch-like vision and far-reaching thoughts, the new deal is widely implicated and has a deep impact, and if he continues to implement the new deal without scruples, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of turmoil in Yan Kingdom.

In the warm pavilion, Liu Chengfeng sat down not long ago, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the promotion of the new policy is imperative, but you don't have to be anxious, you have to take your time.

The implementation of the new policy requires great courage, great determination, great perseverance, and great skill, the new policy, the abolition of the old decree and the re-promulgation of the new law, it is simply to break the current framework of Yan and establish a new framework. ”

Lin Feng nodded and said: "What Liu Aiqing said is true, that is, to break the old framework and establish a new framework, a framework suitable for the development of the times.

Besides, I know in my heart that when the new policy was promulgated two years ago, I was not in a hurry, only to promote commerce and abolish the power of the family. ”

Situ and Wen Jishi nodded one after another, the two of them belonged to Lin Feng's die-hard supporters, especially after seeing the changes in military strength and taxes since the new policy of Yan State, they supported Lin Feng more and more to carry out national reforms.

"Lord Liu, you are in charge of the Criminal Department, and you are an old man of Yan Kingdom, you should know better about the changes in Yan Country than young people like me, do you think that since the New Deal, the number of people who have committed crimes in Yan Country alone has increased or decreased, and there are more or fewer people in various parts of the country who act in accordance with the criminal law." Situ asked. He didn't say anything else, just from the perspective of the Criminal Department in charge of Liu Chengfeng, he hoped that the other party would feel the benefits of the new deal through actual changes.

"Of course there are few, in previous years, on the streets of Yanjing, there were a lot of ruffians and hooligans, bullies and people, affecting commercial circulation, after the promulgation of the criminal law, a group of people were arrested, and many people were divided in good morning." Liu Chengfeng said: "In the past six months, with the promotion of criminal law in various counties and states, the number of armed fights and group fights has gradually decreased. ”

"That's right, the new policy is bound to violate the interests of the old aristocracy, but it represents the interests of the majority of the people, once it is fully implemented, the Yan Kingdom is bound to be more open, more active, and more vibrant." Szeto Road.
