Chapter 232: More Changes
In addition, in the past three years, other changes in the imperial court have not been small.
Tao Qian still hung up, this meritorious service to Xuzhou to the imperial court was originally not in good health, and after being prime minister for a few years, his body couldn't stand it, and he died on a sunny night. After Tao Qian's death, he was posthumously recognized as a loyal king and buried according to the etiquette of a prince.
Ming Jian is still nostalgic, Tao Qian's biggest contribution is to provide Ming Jian with a place to live, so that Ming Jian has a chance to make a comeback.
However, this is also the last glory of the Tao family, Tao Qian's sons are very average in ability, and they cannot enter the court as officials, so the Tao family can only decline.
However, Ming Jian still compensated the Tao family, since he can't be an official, then go into business, Ming Jian let their family specialize in a new industry - Royal Express!
Drawing on modern experience and current reality, the Royal Express quickly made people and merchants feel useful, and the Tao family made a lot of money because of it, and the family embarked on the road of business. This industry also arranges a large number of employed people, as for the means of transportation, Ming Jian invented bicycles and tricycles, riding this thing to send express delivery, the efficiency is very high, as for the wheels, Ming Jian uses wood, to get out of the rubber, it is not easy, it can only be like this, although the wood wheels consume fast, but cheap, the big deal is broken and change another is, the bearings inside are made of wood and iron, leading the times, but the consumption is large, and the Ming Sword can only come step by step.
In addition to the express delivery industry, Ming Jian also invented a lot of industries, the catering industry is naturally going to change, in the thriving catering industry in the Great Song Dynasty, Ming Jian was directly copied over, no cooking utensils, Ming Jian ordered people to build iron pots and other tools, he is not afraid of the common people rebelling and melting the iron pot to make weapons, Jinyi Wei is strictly monitored.
As a result, stir-fry soon appeared, and various dishes began to become popular in various states.
Cattle are precious, so other livestock meat, such as pork, is grown stronger every state by year, and these farms also produce a lot of farm manure to nourish the crops.
Moreover, the fishing industry in the Yangtze River basin and coastal basins has also developed, providing a lot of meat for the people's livelihood.
The catering industry will naturally drive the industry, which makes the imperial court's treasury begin to be enriched, and now the agricultural tax has been as low as one hundred taxes, and it is commerce that really supports the imperial court's tax.
After the catering reform, the physical fitness of the people in the area controlled by the Han Dynasty has grown rapidly, and they eat meat to grow their bodies.
The changes in three years are not small, and the Han court has been running at a high speed.
However, Ming Jian still felt that it was too short and not enough for Dahan's GDP to reach a higher height.
The productivity of this era is too low, although Ming Jian uses the golden finger with all his strength and changes the production tools, but the results are still average, of course, this is for modern society!
The productivity is still quite backward, but fortunately, the people basically do not starve to death, and every household basically has a little surplus food. The main food is still systematic rice, systematic corn and systematic wheat, these three crops in reality the yield is okay, although not as good as in the system, but with the modern society of the output is not much different.
Commerce has to develop faster, and Mingjian has changed its tricks to stimulate domestic demand in the past three years, so that goods can circulate more smoothly. Not only to stimulate domestic demand, Ming Jian also sold various materials other than weapons and equipment, such as grain, daily necessities, etc., the relatively wealthy Yizhou and Jingzhou and the imperial court commodity transactions are very frequent, maybe in another three years, the Han Dynasty's commerce is enough to make other princes to an economic invasion, and then let the princes of all walks of life become dependent on the imperial court.
If this is the case, then it will save the war, but it is obvious that this matter is not easy, the princes are not fools, once they find that the signs are wrong, there will definitely be countermeasures.
The population of the states has grown to a certain extent, with a lot of newborns being born, and the population growth rate has almost doubled. According to preliminary statistics, the total population of the area controlled by the imperial court has reached nearly 20 million.
This made Ming Jian breathe a sigh of relief, but he was still not in a hurry to expand the army, because now once the army is expanded, the economic development of various places will be hindered, and Ming Jian can only increase the reserve system on the original basis.
The reserve was tested in the Great Song Dynasty, and the effect was good, and the people participated in production in peacetime, but once the war started, the regular army was not enough, and then the reserve was used on top.
The content of the training is the same as that of the Great Song Dynasty, but the current Han people are much more fierce than the Han people of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, they have not experienced the Wuhu Chaohua, and the current Han people are very pure Han people, and their general height and physical fitness are more than the Han people of the Great Song Dynasty, so the combat effectiveness of the reserve force should not be underestimated.
Ming Jian has tested the combat effectiveness of the reserves, and there are many masters in it, and this kind of army can go into battle to kill the enemy as long as it is slightly equipped.
Three years have passed, the prestige of the imperial court has also reached a peak, the prestige of the Ming sword among the people has also reached a peak, and the people's support for the Han has been enriched again.
......
After Tao Qian's death, the position of prime minister was handed over to Xun Yu, a powerful man, Xun Yu was loyal enough to the court and Ming Jian, and capable, Ming Jian relied on him very much, of course, there were Xun You and Cheng Yu as his helpers, these two people are also masters of internal affairs, compared to military attainments, they are still suitable for being civil officials.
In the past three years, Liu Ye, Hua Xin, Cui Yan, Mao Jue and other talents have been thrown into the arms of the imperial court, which has made Ming Jian have more talents to choose from. They have added to the court, and some have governed the place and displayed their talents.
Another Zhuge Liang, who is highly valued by Ming Jian, is still working hard, studying the modern knowledge given to him by Ming Jian, the growth rate of the whole person is much faster than in history, and the current Zhuge Liang can be described as a [demon], with extraordinary wisdom and quick response.
Ming Jian planned to let Zhuge Liang continue to study, and when he was 20 years old, he would let him become an official to avoid the evil consequences of the seedlings.
Another important historical figure, Cao Cao, trained his troops all day and night, Tuntian. However, Cao Cao felt very depressed, and often complained to Ming Jian, wanting to lead the troops to the battle.
It's no wonder that Cao Cao is the master who can't be idle, and the world is undecided, Cao Cao has something in his heart.
In this regard, Ming Jian can only comfort this great ancient military strategist and let him rest easy, some battles are fought by him.
The imperial examination system has also been successfully implemented, although the [probationary system] is still in practice, but now it is becoming less and less, if the probationary people do not have enough talent to learn, it will not pass.
The change brought to the imperial court by the imperial examination system was to add a lot of talents to the Han Dynasty, especially the children of the Han family, who entered the officialdom and had an impact on the family began to appear.
Human resources are very important, talent is the top priority, the sky of the Han began to brighten, and Ming Jian also began to raise his eyebrows, ready to create his own era.
