"What's going on in Tokyo now?"

While waiting for the official family, Li Yanqing diverted the topic, although everyone was thinking about Cai Jing at this time, they didn't want to talk about Cai Jing.

"The epidemic is under control!"

Fan Zhixu said with a smile: "Last month, there was a torrential rain in Tokyo, it rained for two days in a row, seeing that the Wuzhang River was about to burst, and everyone couldn't take care of the plague, organized tens of thousands of people to go to the north of the city to strengthen the river embankment, and after coming back, none of the plague was infected, in fact, except for the first few children who caught crows, no plague was found in Tokyo, and after a rainstorm, the plague was gone." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, this is also right, rain can dilute the virus, plus Bianliang City is well prepared, so in the end the plague did not spread, but as far as he knows, Zhongmu County is very unfortunate, nearly half of the 100,000 people in the city died, as well as Weishi County and Xianping County, affected by Zhongmu County, almost thirty percent of the people died, and the entire western part of Kaifeng Mansion was a dead silence, and almost all the people who did not die of illness in these three counties escaped.

"This time the capital has moved south, how many people are still in Tokyo?"

"There are about 100,000 people, these are people who are unwilling to move south, Bianliang now has no need to rebuild the outer city, the inner city is enough, and when we transport all the documents and archives away, the palace is sealed, it is estimated that we will not be able to go back for many years." Speaking of this, Fan Zhixu was slightly sad.

Gao Shen next to him added with a smile in time: "Now the house price in Bianliang is amazingly cheap, and the shops next to the royal street can be bought for thousands of guan, but in the past, it cost hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and the shops in other areas are even less valuable. ”

At this time, a rush of footsteps came from the door, the monarch Zhao Gou walked in quickly, everyone quickly got up, Zhao Gou waved his hand, and said apologetically: "I just went to visit Cai Xianggong, and I came back a little late, please forgive me!" ”

Fan Zhixu hurriedly said: "We just waited for a while, Your Majesty, I don't know what is the situation of Cai Xianggong?" ”

Zhao Gou shook his head, "The situation is very bad, I haven't woken up from a coma last night, I asked their family, it should be these two days." ”

Zhao Gou sat down in his seat, of course he couldn't sit on an equal footing, but the seat was slightly higher, and it was wider, and the ivory inlaid gold dragon chair, at this time, everyone no longer did anything casually, and they all sat back in their seats.

Zhao Gou said slowly: "Today is the third day, but as far as I know, the normal affairs of the court have not yet been restored, I hope that this chaotic network situation will end as soon as possible, everyone will talk about it, what difficulties are there now, let's find a way to solve it together." ”

He glanced at everyone and said, "I hope you can speak freely, Fan Xianggong, you are the left minister, you can talk about it first!" ”

Fan Zhixu nodded and said: "Now I just moved the capital over, things are complicated, many things are actually trivial, but it has affected the operation of the court, Weichen for example, yesterday Weichen wanted to write a recital, but found that there was no ink, and hurriedly sent someone to purchase outside, but the ink bought back is not the ink we usually use in court affairs, so that people can't write, thousands of people and thousands of ink, it seems to be a little unorthodox, this is actually a matter of habit, for more than a hundred years, the court has already developed a lot of habits or rules, and now everything is disrupted, We have to start from scratch, and many people who are used to the old life don't know what to do, and a lot of our current chaos stems from this. ”

"What about the country of Yi Fan?" Zhao Gou asked again.

"According to Weichen's opinion, the imperial court first set up an institution that sets up various rules, stipulates all kinds of court affairs rules one by one, and then His Majesty issues an edict, everyone has rules to follow, and if you are not used to it, you must get used to it, and the court affairs will run smoothly."

Zhao Gou nodded, "Fan Xianggong is reasonable, so I ask Fan Xianggong to take the lead and set up an organization that is specifically responsible for formulating various rules for court affairs." ”

"Wechen understands, let's start forming it today!"

Zhao Gou asked Li Gang with a smile again, "Next, please talk to Li Xianggong too!" ”

Li Gang got up and saluted, sat down again and said: "Your Majesty, now a big problem is that there are not enough officials in the imperial court, in the past, there were tens of thousands of servants and craftsmen in the imperial court, but now there are only more than 1,000 servants left, and there are less than 2,000 craftsmen in the ordnance superintendent, and there are few craftsmen in other bureaus, and there is basically a blank in the theater, so it seriously affects the normal operation of the imperial court." ”

Zhao Gou pondered for a moment and said, "Then how to solve this problem?" ”

Li Gang already has a preliminary plan, "If there are enough officials, you can draw from the state capitals and counties in the world, or select students from the state capitals and Taixue to fill it. ”

Li Gang's last sentence struck a chord with everyone, and the housing problem became the focus of complaints of all officials in the imperial court.

All the prime ministers talked about it, and Zhao Gou said to Li Yanqing: "Li Taibao, you have the most say in the housing problem, tell me, is there any solution?" ”

Li Yanqing stood up and bowed apologetically to everyone: "I'm sorry that I couldn't solve everyone's life difficulties in time, I do have a solution to housing." ”

Everyone was in high spirits, this was the number one headache for them, and all the subordinates were staring at them!

Li Yanqing smiled at Zhao Gou and said, "Your Majesty, is the Qiantang map that Weichen gave to Your Majesty a few days ago still there?" ”

"It's on my royal case!"

Zhao Gou hurriedly instructed the little eunuch, and soon took the map from the imperial case in the inner room, and hung it up with a shelf, Li Yanqing walked to the map, pointed to a large piece of land between the county seat and the imperial city, and said: "This land is about 22,000 acres, which is reserved for the imperial court, and I suggest that you can build an official residence close to the imperial city, just like the dormitory of Taixue, the bottom of the two servants live in one room, and then gradually upgrade, to the seven-rank officials can live in a single courtyard, five houses, these dormitories are officially provided." There is no need for rent for the time being, as for the housing of the Concert Academy, we provide the land, and they build it themselves, of course, there must be rules for how big it is, just like Fan Xianggong said just now, first set the rules. ”

"What about officials above the seventh grade?" Zheng Wangzhi asked.

Li Yanqing pointed to the north of the map, and there was a broader open space in the north, "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, at present, the Lin'an local government is building public rental housing, and at the same time, it is also preparing to auction land in the northernmost part of the Huantang River, and the money from the auction land is used to build the city wall, but regardless of the public rental housing and auctioned land, they are all on the east side of Qiantang Street, and about 20,000 acres of land on the west side of Qiantang Street have no purpose. But if you want to live better and bigger, or if you want to pass it on to your children and grandchildren, then you have to buy land and houses yourself, as far as I know, many high-ranking officials in the imperial court have already bought land and built houses. ”

Li Gang asked: "Of course, it is good to build official houses and official residences, but the imperial court is financially embarrassed!" I'm afraid I won't be able to come up with that much money for a while. ”

Li Yanqing looked at Zhao Gou with a smile, all the silver sold to the family's property went into the inner treasury, and the Zheng family and the Zhu family took out a huge amount of silver in order to get rid of their crimes, and they were also in Zhao Gou's hands, building official houses and official residences, of course Zhao Gou was duty-bound.

Zhao Gou didn't understand what Li Yanqing meant, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "Necuri has had a little income recently, so be it!" The money for the construction of official houses and official residences was first cushioned by the inner treasury, and when the imperial court was rich, the money was returned to the inner treasury. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Yanqing praised with a smile, and said: "In addition, regarding Li Xianggong's two plans to enrich the officials, Weichen also suggested that new people be selected from various states and state schools and Taixue, firstly, the students are young and vibrant, and there are no fancy intestines of the officials, and secondly, most of them have not started a family, and the burden of the imperial court is also a little easier, let them live in the official house between the two of them first, and then slowly improve the living conditions after being promoted, at that time, the imperial court has a lot of financial resources, and now you can set up a tent to live for two months, and then you can move into a new house." ”

Fan Zhixu also smiled happily: "The young students are good, Weichen completely agrees with Li Taibao's suggestion, this time the southward migrants, thanks to the full assistance of the three thousand Taibao students, they can be given priority to join." ”

Everyone also agreed, Zhao Gou nodded, agreed to this plan, and everyone discussed the details, and then Zhao Gou, the son of heaven, issued an edict to issue a new plan to solve the test, and recruited 30,000 outstanding students from all states and prefectures in the world to serve in the imperial court.
