235 The drums are beating
"Made, this henchman has finally been completely pacified."
Holding the good news in his hand, Liu Hong was excited, and he didn't know what to say. And those ministers, who are similar to Liu Hong, are only excited.
Not only Liu Hong and these ministers were excited, but at this moment, the entire Han Dynasty could be regarded as a joy for the whole country. The elated people spontaneously came to the streets to celebrate. There are those who sing, there are those who dance, anyway, how to have fun.
This victory is just too big. First of all, Liu Hong personally drove the expedition and destroyed Xianbei, Goguryeo and Karasuma, and directly expanded more than double the territory of the Han Dynasty. And this time, you directly wiped out all the foreign tribes on the grassland, which can be regarded as a great Han and won a peace for all generations. So such a thing, no matter how much you celebrate, can't be overstated.
Daqing lasted for ten days in a row, and then, Liu Hong and those civil and military officials devoted themselves to the intense aftermath work. Of course, that is, Liu Hong celebrated for ten days, and those officials have already devoted themselves to the aftermath work.
The most important thing in the aftermath is immigration. This is what Liu Hong is most concerned about, because he has already made up his mind to transfer the people in the hinterland of the Central Plains and densely populated areas as much as possible. Because in his opinion, as long as the world is peaceful, the number of people in the hinterland of the Central Plains will grow the fastest. In the latter part of each dynasty, it was also these places where land annexation was most severe. Therefore, he should take this opportunity to transfer as many local people as possible, so as to delay the future land annexation as much as possible.
Because Liu Hong gave a very generous policy for immigration. This is also a meritorious point reward and a material reward, so that many people who were originally reluctant to immigrate have joined the immigrant army.
With the tide of immigration, too many industries have benefited. Not to mention the items directly related to them. Other related industries are also booming. In this way, Dahan is really full of business opportunities everywhere, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely not worry about making money.
Seeing this situation, Liu Hong was overjoyed. After all, all the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and he, the emperor, can do it safely.
As time passed, the tide of immigration gradually subsided, and Liu Hong, who was holding the report. But there was a sigh, "Alas, the population is too small!" The number of immigrants has almost reached the limit of what can be immigrated, and the grassland has not yet been digested. ”
But sigh to sigh. That's all it takes. Because through the investigation, the originally overcrowded Si Li, Yu, Ji, Yan, Qing, and Xu. these places. The population has almost all fallen by nearly half. And other states and counties with smaller populations, after the baptism of immigration, the population is even less pitiful. As a result, a large number of large quantities of land in various regions have been uncultivated. And idle and barren. You say that in such a situation, how can you be emigrating from them?
"Forget it, that's it for now. When the population grows in the future, this problem will naturally be solved. Liu Hong put the report on the case. began to ponder, "This population is small, and it's not all bad." Let's not say that because of the small population, all kinds of contradictions in the Han Dynasty have been alleviated and even resolved. Because of the small population, it also promotes the great development of mechanization. ”
Liu Hong is really happy about this. Because he knows that the development of mechanization is, after all, the trend of future development.
In the past, there was a lot of surplus labor, and not many people were willing to spend money on mechanization. Not to mention those workshops, even if it is the agricultural machinery subsidized by the imperial court, not much has been sold. But now it's different, because of the surplus labor, almost all of them have emigrated. In order not to stop the workshop, in order not to make the farm deserted, both the workshop owner and the farmer were forced to mechanize. As a result, with the great increase in the demand for mechanization in workshops and farms, the research and development and processing of various machinery have also been greatly developed. Faced with this situation, Liu Hong kept sighing, this is also an alternative "blessing in disguise" for the big man.
……
Time flies, two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, the palace maid came running to wake him up. Liu Hong, who didn't sleep enough, was of course quite reluctant. But there is no way, who let today be a day of regular pilgrimage meetings twice a month, even if he is reluctant, he has to get up.
"Made, it's still too early to go to court at nine o'clock. If you have a chance, you'll have to change it to 10 o'clock! Liu Hong muttered as he got up.
Hearing Liu Hong's complaint, the palace maid snickered. She felt that her majesty was so interesting that every time she came to call him the morning court, she could hear his complaints, which had become a common practice before the previous dynasty.
Complaining is complaining, but the last dynasty is a serious matter after all, and Liu Hong is not willing to delay. As soon as he finished freshening up, he hurried to the main hall. But even if it was like this, when he came to the main hall, those ministers had been waiting for him for a long time.
Seeing that Liu Hong had arrived, after the ministers paid a visit, Liu Qian said directly: "Your Majesty, this is the summary of this year's affairs by the Ministry of Political Affairs, please preview it." ”
Liu Hong took the report and looked at it, a thick pile, he flipped through it casually, and asked directly: "Uncle Huang, I will take the time to look at this thing, you first tell me about important things." ”
For this lazy emperor, Liu Qian had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, not only have nothing major happened in the past two years, but it can also be regarded as a smooth wind." Therefore, all walks of life in our Han have achieved rapid development. Especially this year, after a year of adaptation, the migrants have basically adapted to their current life, and their farms and pastures have begun to produce. According to the preliminary calculations of the Government Council, this year's tax revenue will at least increase by 30 percent compared with last year. ”
"Tax growth is a good thing, but what about the rest, especially the infrastructure development?"
"Your Majesty, the construction of various infrastructure facilities is quite smooth." Hearing the question, Liu Qi hurriedly replied: "Through the efforts of millions of slaves, the main highway leading from the capital to the states has been completely completed, and the next step is to start the road network between the states." ”
"This is good!" Liu Hong said happily: "If you want to get rich, do you need to build a road first, this road needs to be built a lot." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty said so." In response, Liu Qian continued: "Your Majesty, not only the construction of the highway is gratifying, but also quite gratifying in other aspects. It is predicted that the Grand Canal will be fully completed by the end of this year. What's even happier is that in two months, the construction of the railway from Luoyang to Chang'an will be completed. ”
"Okay, that's great." Hearing this news, Liu Hong was really happy. The railway from Luoyang to Chang'an is still close, but the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is too important to the construction of the country.
And Liu Hong just wanted to speak again, when suddenly, there was a drum sound of "dong dong dong" outside.
"Dengwen Drum?!" Liu Hong stood up directly, "Made, why was this thing knocked." (To be continued......)
