Chapter 296: Development and Stability
In pacifying Jianghuai, Ming Jian did not personally participate, but it also showed Ming Jian's wisdom in knowing people.
The Five Tigers of Wagang and Lu Wenlong were both appointed after the Ming Sword had crossed, and their military talents were fully confirmed.
And the pacification of Jianghuai brought immeasurable benefits to the imperial court.
Jianghuai has always been an important base for grain production and a prosperous commercial base, which is a strong support for Mingjian's policy of governing the country.
Ming Jian immediately began to select officials to make arrangements for the Jianghuai region. After this period of official assessment, Ming Jian already has a group of spare talents, in addition to a group appointed by the court, there are more than a dozen outstanding talents, which just came in handy this time.
Among them, there are many outstanding talents like Chu Suiliang, and Wei Zheng, Xu Shiji and others who took refuge in Wagang have also been sent to the local area to experience experience. However, Li Mi didn't get such an opportunity, Ming Jian was still not at ease with Li Mi, and after this guy took refuge in Li Tang, because he was dissatisfied, he later Li Yuan's daughter and was finally killed.
The policy of granting the Jianghuai region was still the same as in other parts of the imperial court, with all agricultural taxes exempted, and the imperial court suspended military operations with foreign countries, and began to cultivate large quantities of land and help the common people to cultivate.
Of course, advanced farming tools were invented by Ming Jian, and Ming Jian has been tested in several crossing planes, proving that it can make the land more productive.
At the same time, the imperial court vigorously developed commerce and handicrafts, and at the same time engaged in infrastructure construction.
The economy of the Sui Dynasty was largely controlled by the family, and now Ming Jian encouraged everyone to participate, which meant that there was more socio-economic experience, which would definitely have an impact on the family.
Ming Jian used various economic situations to invigorate the economy of the Great Sui, and he transmitted some information to the outside world through Jinyiwei, such as logistics companies, such as various service companies, such as various deep processing companies, etc.
After this information is transmitted, it will naturally be noticed, so that a similar economy can be developed, and even if it cannot be the size of a company, it can at least become a good economy, driving employment and development.
At the same time, the imperial court also vigorously encouraged the population to have children, and since ancient times, population has been an important resource, especially during wars. At present, the population of the imperial court under the jurisdiction is only a little more than 6 million, and it must be vigorously developed.
Giving birth to one is punished, giving birth to two is normal, giving birth to three is rewarding, and the more births, the better. Of course, Ming Jian still raised the age of marriage, the age is young, it is easy to have an accident, and it is not good for the body. 20 for men and 18 for women, this is the minimum age for marriage, and it is much easier to have children after a year of marriage.
In addition, the implementation of strict management of household registration, each household issued a household registration book, everyone must be registered, when going out, must bring a household registration book or household registration certificate, otherwise if you are caught, you will be punished.
A series of policies of the imperial court soon brought about changes in society.
Positive energy is always easy to spread, and these measures of the imperial court are for the sake of the people, so they are naturally easy to accept.
The rule of officials has become clearer, the officialdom is no longer dark, the family no longer bullies the people at will, and the entire social order is improving.
And Ming Jian was naturally very pleased to see that everything was developing for the better.
However, his own business has not yet been resolved.
Yang Guang has a lot of wives and children, and most of them have come to Luoyang City these days, but there are not many children.
His wife not only has the famous Empress Xiao, but also has many others, saying that he has 3,000 beauties in his harem, and he has not wronged Yang Guang. Ming Jian had a headache when he saw such a big battle, and immediately sent all these beauties out of the palace who had never had a relationship, and asked them to marry, and there were more than a dozen of them who had a relationship.
His eldest baby has already hung up, and the second Yang Yun is in his thirties, and his temperament is relatively irritable, and it is even more difficult for Ming Jian to accept it at this age.
The third Yang Gao is quite filial, but he is a little clingy, and he likes to ask 100,000 whys, which is not the type that Ming Jian likes.
As for those grandchildren, not to mention, there is no emotion at all.
The daughters want to make him feel more comfortable, after all, the daughter is her father's little padded jacket, and the youngest bayberry is the most popular with Ming Jian.
However, Ming Jian obviously didn't like them, even Empress Xiao, who was known for her beauty, Ming Jian was not interested in it as soon as Ming Jian remembered that she had been played by many people in history.
However, he also knew that once he snubbed these girls, he might not know when to get himself a green hat to wear, so he still had to solve these problems.
That night, Ming Jian was compiling teaching materials to be promoted in the coming year, and Xiao Meiniang came again.
"Your Majesty, it's so late and you haven't rested. Your Majesty, you have to take care of your dragon body, you are not young. ”
Xiao Meiniang brought a bowl of bird's nest soup to Ming Jian, said softly, and then lay on Ming Jian's back and pinched his shoulders.
Xiao Meiniang is very beautiful, and she is exactly in her thirties, which is very tempting, especially because she has a strong aroma, which seems to have a natural aphrodisiac effect on men, which is very fatal.
Ming Jian's body reacted, and he couldn't write anymore.
He was about to stand up, but who knew that Xiao Meiniang took the opportunity to slip and sat directly in his arms, hugged Ming Jian's neck with both hands, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't you hate concubines very much, it's been almost half a year since you came back from Jiangdu, and you don't spoil your concubines once, is the concubine already old?" ”
Ming Jian smiled awkwardly: "Where is it, it's just that I am thinking about how to revitalize the Great Sui, and the personal feelings of my children naturally have to be put aside, not to mention that the queen is so tempting, I am worried that once I fall into the gentle township, I will not be able to extricate myself, so I snubbed the queen." ”
Xiao Meiniang pouted and said: "Your Majesty is so ruthless, the concubine is alone in the empty room, looking forward to Your Majesty to pamper the concubine day and night, but Your Majesty is looking for this excuse." What about Deng Yang's? So how can she get His Majesty's favor? ”
Deng Yang has now entered the palace, she was canonized as Deng Guifei, she was favored by Ming Jian day and night, and now she has Ming Jian's child in her belly.
Although she is a, Ming Jian really likes her alone, and even loves Deng Ai, which is better than Yang Guang's own son.
In fact, for Ming Jian, Yang Guang's own son is no different from Deng Ai.
Seeing Xiao Meiniang say this, Ming Jian was a little embarrassed.
After all, it's always bad to favor one over the other.
He hurriedly said: "Well, it's not good for me, so I'll accompany you tonight, okay?" So what do you want to play tonight? ”
"Great, Your Majesty has finally changed your mind, the concubine wants to chant poetry with Your Majesty under the bright moon, what does Your Majesty think?"
Xiao Meiniang said happily.
Ming Jian breathed a sigh of relief, since this is the case, then let's be completely high tonight, and comfort Xiao Meiniang.
He said: "Okay, let's have a bonfire party tonight, let the palace maids light the bonfire, and tonight I will accompany the queen to relax." ”
Xiao Meiniang immediately kissed Ming Jian excitedly, it seems that she has played this kind of game with Yang Guang in the past.
The bonfire was soon lit, and in the palace compound, the fire was swaying, the palace maids began to dance, Ming Jian and Xiao Meiniang were drinking and composing poems, and there were several concubines standing next to them, all of whom were all snubbed by Ming Jian without exception, and never said a word.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight when the moon is in the sky, I will take this moon as the theme, and order each of you to write a poem, if you do it well, I will be rewarded, if you do it badly, I will beat her ass! Hahahahaha! ”
Ming Jian came to have fun, so he proposed the rules of the game.
Then all the women rejoiced, and the emperor suddenly changed his character, and their hard days came, and they kept the empty room alone, looking forward to it. There are not many opportunities like this today, and the concubines want to seize the opportunity.
