Chapter 650: Foresight
Unknowingly, another year passed, and Liu Yi failed to rush back to Luoyang in time for Chinese New Year's Eve this time, and when Liu Yi returned to Luoyang earlier, it had already passed this festive Spring Festival.
In the ancient capital of Luoyang, the festive atmosphere does not seem to have passed.
On the way to the palace, Liu Yiwei also had a good feel for the New Year's atmosphere that was getting closer and closer to the later generations.
The shops on the streets are full of flaming lanterns, and even some of the scenic trees on the streets are hung with some colorful ribbons, decorating the whole city beautifully. It has the festive taste of the fire tree and silver fire of later generations.
Under the governance of the New Han Dynasty, Luoyang was prosperous, prosperous and prosperous. All walks of life are thriving.
The main performance is that this ancient city of Luoyang has already been decorated, often some garden pavilions have been demolished and rebuilt, and the rebuilt buildings are beautiful and generous, and some are also magnificent and magnificent, which is really changing with each passing day. These are all people living and working in peace and contentment, working hard, and exchanging their blood and sweat for today's beautiful situation.
Liu Yi listened to the women at home, and often said that he was really facing a situation of expensive paper in Luoyang, especially in terms of real estate, and there was a boom in the firestorm period when the property was speculated later. Merchants from all over the Han Dynasty have taken a fancy to the prosperity of Luoyang, optimistic about the prospects of Luoyang's commercial development, and have come to Luoyang, and many people have settled in Luoyang, which has also greatly increased the population of Luoyang, and now, Luoyang seems to be facing an overcrowded situation.
The officials of the imperial court who governed Luoyang City had repeatedly raised the question of whether to expand the Luoyang city planning to the imperial court. For example, several cabinet ministers have also proposed it to Liu Yi, but. Lewy has not agreed for the time being.
The main thing is that Liu Yi takes into account that Luoyang is now prosperous. It's only temporary, just because the entire Han has not yet been unified. There are still many new technologies that have not yet been fully promoted, and when the time comes, when the development of heavy industry is really officially promoted, Luoyang is not suitable as a major development city for heavy industry. Therefore, Liu Yi plans that after Luoyang, it will be a production city of light industry and fine industry, but this production base. It should be placed outside the city, and the original old Luoyang City is used as a cultural sightseeing and livable cultural and political center. The real economic and commercial centers, especially the heavy industry development bases, should be placed in the northeast region and the Yangtze River waters in the south.
Therefore, now Luoyang has expanded too fast all of a sudden, and it is not too favorable for future development. After all, now the people of the entire Han world. are all staring at Luoyang, everyone wants to live at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if Luoyang City is expanded, how much more generous will it have to be expanded? The people followed suit. When the time comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop this kind of atmosphere.
Originally, there were more than one million people in Luoyang City. Later, a few more were added, to the present. I'm afraid there will be a population of about three million, if you add the whole Luoyang around. That is, the entire population of Sili Prefecture, I am afraid that it will have to be close to 10 million people. If it is placed in the future life, a state that is not too big will have to feed tens of millions of people or be able to do it easily, but now, Liu Yi feels that it is almost the same. After all, we will have to deal with the situation of the population explosion in the future.
Therefore, Liu Yi's plan is to develop outward, and he can't put all his eyes on Luoyang City.
Liu Yi has also asked the ministers of the cabinet to consider these issues, and in the future, he will come up with some new policies that are more in line with the development of the times. In particular, it seems that the policy toward the people in the Luoyang area is no longer suitable for carrying out the original set of policies. It is also time to revise some legal provisions to adapt to the development of this era.
For example, the first thing to change is that as long as they come to Luoyang to settle down, according to the actual situation of those people who come to settle in Luoyang, the imperial court and government will give them certain relief to help them live in Luoyang, and the government will allocate some fields to them according to the situation of the labor force in their people's homes. Now, in Luoyang City, all the fields that can be allocated have been allocated, and many places have become some commercial land, and the price remains high, but there are still many people rushing to subscribe to the government. If the news of Luoyang City's expansion spreads, when the time comes, people from all over the country will flock to it, so Luoyang will not be chaotic?
There is also a situation, now, the new Han Dynasty has become the general trend of unifying the world, for some officials in the court, and even the soldiers in the army, they feel that the world will soon be pacified, and their good days are about to come, as long as the Central Plains is pacified, it is the time for them to enjoy happiness. Well, that, this world is fought by them, and they are meritorious, especially the civil and military officials in the court, they are in high positions and powers, when the time comes, is it time to divide the land of the marquis?
At least, those ordinary people, they can live happily at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so what about these meritorious heroes? Do you need to settle them down? At the very least, let them have a home and a place in the Luoyang Imperial City? How will the millions of soldiers of the New Han Army be resettled at that time?
If you don't suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, and if you don't suffer from poverty and suffer from insecurity, there will definitely be problems in the future.
Therefore, Liu Yi must deal with these problems in advance, and he must not wait for the unification of the Han Dynasty and the world to settle down, and then there will be chaos.
Now, Lewi plans to let the cabinet ministers come up with a charter.
Liu Yi's suggestions to them, in addition to the above bills to be amended, secondly, the most important thing is that they should work hard to build some main cities that are no worse than Luoyang according to the situation in various parts of the world. For example, Chang'an, Guanzhong, this city, even the imperial palace has been completely preserved, can be operated as an industrial city, vigorously develop commerce, make it more attractive, for Luoyang for the flow of population.
In addition, Jincheng in Bingzhou will be operated as an important economic and cultural center for trade with minority ethnic groups. The entire Bingzhou region serves as an important state and county base for the cultural integration of Han and foreign ethnic groups.
Then there are Yecheng in Jizhou, Beiping in Youzhou, Xiangyang and Jiangling in Jingzhou, Jiangdong Jianye, Qu'a, etc., many historical cities can be focused on development. The newly built Hanzhong City, Yizhou, Chengdu, etc., can all make great efforts to develop. As for the original Dongting Lake Xinzhou and Youzhou Zhuo County Dazecheng Base, these two places will be used as Liu Yi's private secret research and development bases. Some important technologies came out of those places first. Such. It can also disperse the attraction of Luoyang.
As long as the policies are implemented in various places, there are business opportunities everywhere. Where there can be better development, when the time comes, I believe that the whole world of people and businessmen to come to Luoyang will slowly subside. At that time, the court of the New Han Dynasty will be able to better handle the resettlement of the meritorious officials who have laid down this world.
Born in good times and dying in peace, this famous saying is extremely correct, if you don't think about the future now, I'm afraid that even if Liu Yi establishes a new country, it will be quickly finished, and it will be difficult to really develop. It will not be able to revitalize the Han Dynasty and let the Han people stand on top of the world. Never have to be bullied by a foreign race again.
Liu Yi walked on the street and saw a prosperous scene in Luoyang, but he thought about something that was not quite right with the atmosphere. is not blinded by the prosperity in front of him, this, also because Liu Yi is a descendant, has seen the rise and fall of all dynasties, the succession and failure of dynasties, and the change of dynasties, even if it is the era of Taizu in later generations. still made some mistakes in some things, and Liu Yi doesn't want to make such mistakes again.
This is also a rare time for Liu Yi, who is in a gentle nest. There are so many more issues that can be taken into account. This is enough to prove that Liu Yi at this time is indeed no longer the little soldier Liu Yi who struggled for survival before. The New Han Dynasty was developing. He's growing, too.
Or, it is really not in his position and not in his politics. Now Lewy. Between the mannerisms and gestures, there is already a kind of majesty of its own. A dragon might, even if they were the earliest ministers who followed Liu Yi, such as Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng and others, they didn't dare to be too casual in front of Liu Yi, and they generally seemed to be much more polite and serious.
Although Liu Yi doesn't like to be estranged from them, some things will slowly change in the subtle way, and Liu Yi has to slowly learn to adapt to this change with the people below.
In their words, there are no rules and no circles, and some ancestors have handed down the number of rituals handed down for thousands of years, otherwise the monarch is not a king, and the minister is not a minister, how can he govern the world?
Therefore, Liu Yi now, even if he is not used to it, he has to slowly adapt to accept some red tape.
As now, Leo Yi arrived at the palace.
First of all, after the guards recognized it, please ask Liu Yi to wait for a while and spread it to the palace. Then, a group of ministers came out to kneel to greet them. After Liu Yi made it clear that he wouldn't even wear court clothes, he wouldn't go to court. It was also reported that in the harem, the Queen Mother He Wan and some women in the palace came out in costume to kneel to greet her. Anyway, it really has done enough of some movies and television in later generations, and even some that don't have it.
If you invite Liu Yi to bathe and change clothes first, then eat, and then meet the Empress Dowager He Wan and other women.
Although Liu Yi was very opposed, even He Wan and Princess Yang'an demanded that Liu Yi have to start adapting now. You can't just mess around to your liking anymore. Because, now the people of the whole world are looking at him, and Liu Yide wants to set an example for the people of the world.
And the Empress Dowager He Wan invited Liu Yi to enter the palace, in fact, to discuss with Liu Yi about letting the young emperor Liu Wei abdicate the throne and ascend the throne as emperor in the future.
They believe that there are too many things to prepare and that they must prepare in advance. To appear solemn and formal, the ceremony of worshiping the heavens and ancestors will be held at that time, and the whole world will celebrate. In addition, the ministers in the court also mentioned to them that they wanted to propose to Liu Yi that the current New Han Dynasty is different from the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty of the previous dynasty, and it seems that it is not appropriate to call it the New Han Dynasty after the unification of the world, and it is necessary to think of a better country name to show orthodoxy. The country name, year name or something, you have to discuss with Liu Yi.
The ministers of the court and the central government handed over these matters to the queen mother and Liu Yi to mention, and they did not need to go to the court to discuss with the ministers to determine the name of the country, which was mainly to give Liu Yi a way to establish his supreme authority. The name of the country is determined by the king, and it is decided by a word.
For these things, Liu Yi thinks it is easy to do. At that time, the official orthodox title will be called Huaxia Dahan. Or known as the Chinese Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. In this way, it can not only be distinguished from the title of the early Han Dynasty, but also follow some traditional titles. Huaxia refers to the whole nation of the world belongs to Huaxia, the Han Dynasty, which means that the Han people are respected, and the Chinese Han Dynasty refers to the dynasty in the world that respects the Han people. Of course, if you abbreviate it, you can also call it Huaxia or directly call it Dahan.
This, He Wan and Princess Yang'an both think it's okay. And the era name, this Liu Yi didn't know much about it, and after listening to the explanations of the women, he knew that the era name was the so-called Kaiyuan years and Shunzhi years in history. These Liu Yi felt that it was okay to be casual, because Liu Yi planned to promote the new calendar, and in the future, when talking about the year, month and day, according to the new calendar, in addition, the lunar calendar was also formalized, so that, like later generations, there was a new calendar and a lunar calendar. If you insist on coming up with an era name, this can only be the third way of saying, just say a year of Kaiyuan or a year of ZTE, and then push it on.
There is another one that the courtiers, He Wan, and Princess Yang'an all think are very important, and that is the place where Liu Yi is enshrined. The Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty were all enshrined in Qinshan, and they all demanded that when the time came, Liu Yi would also have to enshrine Zen in Mount Tai, so that it would appear formal and orthodox, and it would be regarded as the destiny of heaven.
That, this Liu Yi understands that the intention of the ancient emperor to seal Zen is to deify the monarchy with the mandate of heaven. And the "Five Classics of General Meaning" mentions that "the Mandate of Heaven is king", and the Western Han Dynasty Taishi Gong in the "Historical Records? The Book of Feng Zen gives that the necessary condition for the emperor to seal the Zen is to go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen. In fact, the emperors of all Chinese dynasties will go to Mount Tai to seal Zen.
Therefore, Liu Yi also had to go to Mount Tai to enthrone Zen.
However, these are easy to say, now, just in the preliminary preparations, in fact, Mount Tai has not been recovered, and it will have to be said then.
In addition, during this time, Empress Dowager He Wan and Princess Yang'an and other daughters reformulated new court laws according to some of the original court laws of the Han Dynasty. Now I want to give Liu Yi a look, and if it is feasible, I plan to take care of the palace in the future according to these regulations.
These Liu Yi also have to look at it, although in his heart, he has always wanted to be as casual as possible, but now it is not the same as in the past, even if it is casual, there must be some rules.
Fortunately, the court laws formulated by the women were not too complicated and harsh, and they were more or less formulated according to some of Liu Yi's ideas and opinions, as well as his temperament. There aren't too many things to revise. Liu Yi only eliminated some of the more cruel criminal laws in the palace, and abolished the cold palace, and in the future, there will be no more cold palaces in the palace.
In addition, Liu Yi also added restrictions that the palace cannot have too many palace maids, and his own women cannot exceed four maids per person, one or two are the best, and the average palace maid stipulates a suitable age for entering and leaving the palace.
Anyway, the unreasonable Lewis will be amended or abolished. (To be continued.) )
