Liu Xie put away Beiwang's eyes, and after finding a solution to the labor problem, the next thing was the problem of money and food.

Within three years, Hanting needs to build a reservoir lake, as well as the south-to-north water diversion project, etc., and the money and grain spent will be uncountable.

For these large projects, according to the good habit of the traversers, it is necessary to contract them, so that the families and wealthy merchants from all over the country will pay for the Son of Heaven, and at the same time they will get a part of the right to use the canal, or get other benefits.

As long as the benefits that Liu Xie gives them can be more than several times their cost, they will be desperate!

Regarding the question of whether the wealthy businessmen will enter the urn, Liu Xie will not worry about it for the time being, because he will start several major projects next year.

And the timing is very good!

Now in Guanzhong Dadu Field, a large number of hidden fields of wealthy families and wealthy merchants from all over the country have been unearthed, causing them heavy losses.

Tian they are gone, but money, they are not lacking!

Although Guanzhong had just been scraped by Dong Zhuo a month ago, what was destroyed by Dong Zhuo was the rich and unkind heroes in various places, who regarded the people as cheap, and arbitrarily crippled the poor and oppressed the bitter peasants.

Therefore, the downfall of Haoqiang is a happy event for the entire Han Dynasty!

And the families and some wealthy families who stayed behind, they did not establish Wu Fort, did not have a large number of tribes, and also did not resist the Han by force.

And this group of people, who have just lost a large area of land, have money but no land, which will make their hearts uneasy.

At this time, it was the best time for Liu Xie to introduce them into the road of government and business.

Let them pay for the construction of a big project that benefits the country and the people, and at the same time, it will not excessively consume the vitality of the Han court!

Liu Xie covered the brocade silk and stretched his waist, flood fighting, drought and disaster prevention is a long-term battle, not a day or two can be completed!

After making a big plan in his heart, he temporarily let go of his tense heart, and Liu Xie focused his eyes on the most urgent things.

Now the three main things in the Hanting are to do the field, and the other is to keep out the cold. The third is flood control.

And these three things are all big deals!

Within a month, it must be completed!

In this way, the test for the imperial court will truly come. Facing the intensity of the next high-pressure work. Are local officials proactive, or will they be passive?

Liu Xie thought for a while, then took out a holy decree and issued it again.

The order is simple, the land of three auxiliary counties. The three dukes of the Han Dynasty each supervised one.

In the past, the three princes and nine secretaries managed one hundred and nine counties in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and now they want to use the power of the whole court to govern the three counties, if they can't do it well, then Liu Xie can only say sorry!

Of course, Liu Xie still trusts the three dukes above the current imperial court, Taifu Lu Zhi, Situ Wang Yun, and Sikong Huang Wan are all rare virtuous ministers.

Lu Zhi and Huang Wan are both civil and military; Wang Situ. Thoughtful and good at plotting, if it weren't for my destruction, he would have killed Dong Zhuo with two birds with one stone.

As for Hongnong County and Hedong County outside of Sanfu, Liu Xiezhi was not very worried.

Duan Xuan is the captain of Sili and the county guard of Hongnong, and Liu Xie is still very relieved about the efficiency of this upstart of the Han Dynasty. Because Hongnong's degree was completed before Dong Zhuo's death.

As for Hedong County, there are two generals Xu Huang and Guan Yu there. There are also Xun You and Cheng Yu.

The two famous generals plus the two top strategists, the three things of Dutian, cold protection, and flood control are handed over to them, can't Liu Xie still be relieved?

After breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Xie put his mind on the issue of keeping out the cold.

It is true that the coal stove can drive away the cold and the cold, and the cost is not high, but the risk factor is still relatively high. In particular, the quality of coal has a great impact on the health of the people.

In this way, the quality of the coal block must be guaranteed.

Generally, high-quality coal is black and shiny, pure; And the inferior ones are dirty, yellow, and red.

The best way to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of coal is to test burning, as long as you burn it, you can tell, such as inferior coal is not prosperous, difficult to ignite, easy to extinguish, there is a peculiar smell, odor and other shortcomings, a burn to distinguish good or inferior!

Thinking of this, Liu Xie wrote the method of distinguishing the quality of the coal on the bamboo slips, and then taught it.

Returning to the issue of coal mines, this made Liu Xie not too worried, because in later generations, Shaanxi was also a large coal mining province, and its storage capacity could rank third in the country.

In particular, the Qinling Mountains contain very rich coal mines.

But mining, will become a big problem.

Mining is a big project.

This time, it is estimated that more than half of the manpower mobilized by Xun You will be on digging coal, and the masons will be widely recruited, and even five yuan a day will be paid to ask 100,000 masons to dig coal.

It costs half a million dollars a day, and that's just the money for a coal digger.

Xun You estimated to Liu Xie that it would cost at least two billion yuan to manufacture honeycomb coal furnaces, mine mines, and modulate honeycomb coal, and finally distribute them to each household.

Not letting the people say a word, but getting something to keep out the cold, this is the responsibility and obligation that Liu Xie should fulfill for the Son of Heaven.

So that the people get benefits, instead of being exploited, among the sons of heaven of the Han family in the past dynasties, it is estimated that only the ancestors of the early Han Dynasty really did it.

For example, Gaozu Liu Bang, Emperor Wen Liu Heng, and Emperor Jing Liu Qi.

And now Liu Xie wants to learn from his ancestors, the three virtuous monarchs of the early Han Dynasty, truly love and pity the people, and let the people of the Han family get the happiness that should belong to them.

For example, Emperor Wen devoted his life to improving the situation of peasants.

He reformed the penal system, abolishing corporal punishment and replacing it with flogging and caning, so that the people who broke the law would not be physically mutilated.

There was also a reduction in rent, and twice "half of the land rent tax", that is, the rent rate was reduced from 15 taxes to 30 taxes, and in the past 13 years, all the people's land rents have been exempted.

Reducing forced labor, abolishing the ban on stealing money, and relaxing the ban on mountains and rivers, so that the people of the Han family can truly get the benefits given to them by the state.

When the Red Eyebrow Army invaded Chang'an, the tombs of the sons of the Han family were dug up, but the mausoleum of Emperor Wen was not touched. It can be seen that two hundred years later, Emperor Wen has a great position in the hearts of the people!

Ma Qian of Taishi Company commented on Emperor Wen like this: Virtue is prosperous!

It is said that he is the best son of heaven in the Han family, and there is no one!

And Liu Xie wants to say that this one will be added in the future!

Because of me, I must not only learn from Emperor Wen's love for the people like a son, but also learn from Emperor Wu's heroic posture.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie couldn't sit still, and ordered again, if there are many disasters this year, the subjects of the world will be exempted from land rent for one year, as well as oral endowments, calculation endowments, and more endowments, etc., which will not be collected this year; Moreover, after the Han Dynasty, the rent rate was reduced from 15 taxes to 30 taxes.

At the same time, at the time of granting land, the people of the five counties could get 100 acres of land for each household, 3,000 yuan, and half a load of grain.

After writing the holy decree, he handed it over to Xiaohuangmen, and at the same time guarded some pro-army guards, so that they could quickly pass it to Chang'an City. (To be continued.) )
