In the 195th year of Huaxia, seven months had passed since Zhen Mi was pregnant with Liu Tai's child in February, and although there were no large-scale battles in northern Xinjiang during these seven months, there were undercurrents in the major states and counties. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The alliance of princes is a combination that is not willing to be lonely, and now the news that Zhen Mi and Cai Yan are pregnant with a dragon seed has spread all over the land of Kyushu, and the princes all know that Liu Tai can't get away because of this incident, if they don't take advantage of it at this time, are they still heroes in troubled times?

In the same month, Cao Ying led the major princes to jointly play Liu Tai, hoping that Liu Tai could realize the virtue of heaven and good life, and withdraw Huang Zhong and Wen Chou, who attacked the Sword Pavilion, and Dian Wei in Wenshan County, the three generals, and temporarily stop the war between the two sides, so as to accumulate some merit for the soon-to-be-born dragon son.

What makes people helpless is that the theory of merit was put forward by the ancestral sect, and Cao Ying and the major princes used this statement to deal with Liu Tai, which really made Liu Tai speechless. Under pressure from all sides, of course, Liu Tai himself also had a little idea, so Liu Tai decided to order Huang Zhong to temporarily withdraw his troops and retreat to Zitong Pass to wait for the time to come.

In fact, there are other reasons why Liu Tai made this holy decree. Liu Tai has always attached great importance to the situation in Yizhou, Sun Ce sent troops to Jiaozhou, and the news that Gongsun Zan sent troops to Wenshan County reached Liu Tai as soon as possible. Although Liu Tai has confidence in Huang Zhong, he can't gamble with the surnames of nearly 100,000 soldiers, right?

Liu Tai can afford to wait! What if you can't benefit the state in a short period of time? As soon as one year, at most three years, Yizhou will definitely become Liu Tai's bag, and then not only Yizhou, but the whole world will become Liu Tai's back garden, so why rush for a while?

In the same month, the plague in Yanzhou was contained, and the people of the major counties and counties were grateful for Liu Tai's reinvention grace, and they built immortal monuments for Liu Tai in the ancestral hall of the clan, and even some villages with better conditions built temples for Liu Tai, and visited the statue of Liu Tai in the temple to worship, in order to show the kindness of the people to Liu Tai. Of course, the construction of temples is an isolated example, and the people of Yanzhou today are really poor, which is worse than the situation in Liangzhou.

In 195 years of China, in March, Yanzhou assassinated Shi Zhuge Liang to play Liu Tai, hoping to implement the people's governance system in Yanzhou, that is, to cancel the practice of county soldiers directly governing the people's livelihood, and to hand over ordinary public security problems and some disputes to the people to deal with.

In fact, this policy has been implemented in the three northern continents for a long time, and not long ago it was also implemented in the Sili region. If it weren't for the plague in Yanzhou, or it would have started long ago, and now Zhuge Liang, who is in charge of Yanzhou's government affairs, officially requested the implementation of this new policy, Liu Tai naturally had no opinion.

The policy of controlling the people by the people can limit the people's dissatisfaction with the government to the greatest extent, in fact, this is a bit similar to the people's system in later generations, but the scope was compressed by Liu Tai in the township level and below the township level, and the county level and above the county level are still under the jurisdiction of the government, which can strengthen the government's control over the local area, and Liu Tai will naturally not cancel it.

This era is not suitable for any people's system, after all, the people are still in ignorance, if the new system is implemented too quickly, it will inevitably backfire. In areas below the township level, the impact will be minimized, and those who can get the right to vote on their own will be a little muttered, but they will not object.

Is there still a lack of new policies in northern Xinjiang?

In fact, the early opposition to the introduction of this policy was very loud, after all, the people bypassed the government to directly manage the localities, which would lower the position of the government in the hearts of the people. But the problem is that Liu Tai is naturally aware of some drawbacks, and Liu Tai is also very clear about the benefits of being elected.

When implementing this policy, Liu Tai thought about the consequences, and in Liu Tai's memory, there were many examples of abusing power for personal gain or canvassing for votes with money. Even so, we can't deny the benefits of popular elections, even if money canvass for votes? If the people in power cannot be satisfied by the majority of the people, even more money is meaningless.

And isn't the behavior that satisfies most people the best situation? Liu Tai does not go back and delusionally thinks that every policy can be 100% satisfied and supported by the people, after all, there are few people, no one can be perfect, and in order to prevent the behavior of buying tickets, Liu Tai will also formulate a series of targeted policies, of course, this is a later story.

It is worth mentioning that when there was a large-scale outbreak of plague in Yanzhou, Liu Tai secretly ordered Zhuge Liang to temporarily withdraw to Sili, and when the situation improved, he would return to Yanzhou. After all, no matter how bad the plague is, it is a bit insignificant compared to Zhuge Liang's surname, Zhuge Liang is one of the candidates for prime minister after Liu Tai officially ascends the throne in the future, how could Liu Tai allow Zhuge Liang to die early?

But Zhuge Liang ignored Liu Tai's secret order at all, and still stayed in Yanzhou as he should, and repeatedly went to the plague-stricken areas to visit the people in person, personally boiled medicine for the people, and so on. I don't care about my own comfort at all. Fortunately, Liu Tai did not blame Zhuge Liang, after all, Zhuge Liang was also for the sake of the people, and Zhuge Liang's leading behavior did make Liu Tai's reputation more and more high.

In fact, Zhuge Liang can completely buy people's hearts in his own name, if Zhuge Liang can collect the hearts of millions of people in Yanzhou, the benefits to Zhuge Liang's future career are immeasurable. But Zhuge Liang is not a fool!

Which king would allow his subjects to receive the hearts of the people? Especially Liu Tai, the pioneer of the master, it is even more impossible to allow it. Zhuge Liang, who was very clear in his heart, did not do anything stupid, and whenever he traveled to inspect, he would declare to officials everywhere that this move was to inspect on the orders of Liu Tai, and to publicize Liu Tai's actions of caring for the people, which made Liu Tai, who was in Hwaseong and had never made any will, smiled bitterly.

In the 195th year of China, the much-anticipated imperial concubine Zhen Mi in mid-March is now pregnant for as many as nine months, and the pot-bellied Zhen Mi is now unable to move an inch in the deep palace. And Liu Tai, the Northern Emperor who sits on half of the world, carefully accompanies Zhen Mi at all times, looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for the moment when the child is born.

In the two lifetimes combined, Liu Tai's actual age is no less than forty years old, but his wife has given birth to a child for the first time in so many years.

Dengtian Palace in the North Imperial Palace, the most important palace is the Zhengda Guangming Palace, and there is also a hall behind the Zhengda Guangming Palace, this hall is called the Dengtian Palace, you can imagine the meaning of these three words.

Normally, Liu Tai will use this palace as a dormitory, although it is said that the Dengtian Palace is not Liu Tai's main palace, but because it is relatively close to the Zhengda Guangming Palace, Liu Tai still likes this palace very much.

Liu Tai, who returned to northern Xinjiang, was very busy, and Zhen Mi, who had a big belly, also made Liu Tai unable to relax, so during this time, Liu Tai took Zhen Mi and Cai Yan to the Dengtian Palace to rest, and whenever the court meeting was over, Liu Tai would rush to the Dengtian Palace to accompany Zhen Mi and Cai Yan as soon as possible, and sometimes he would take the time to give instructions, but the main thoughts were on the second daughter.

"Your Majesty, so a lot of recitals are placed there, you better go and review them first, if you delay the business, won't Mi'er and Sister Yan become sinners?" With big watery eyes and a hint of naughtiness, Zhen Mi, who was like a fairy, held up a big belly, leaned on Liu Tai's arms, and said with crisp words in her mouth.

Liu Tai looked at the beauty in his arms with a smile on the corner of his mouth, then glanced at the folds placed not far away, frowned secretly, and then said: "It's okay, except for the battle report from the front, the other twists and turns are just some trivial things, these little things are handled by Xun Yu, is it necessary for me to go to that heart?" ”

"Your Majesty, that's not right." There was also a plain beauty sitting on the side, the beauty's belly bulge was not small, only one size smaller than Zhen Mi, I saw the beauty eyes flashing with wisdom, and whispered to Liu Tai: "Your Majesty, as the emperor of the north, should focus on state affairs, although there is no major war on the front line at the moment, but the rear must also remain stable. ”

Hearing this, Liu Tai frowned and looked at the beauty who spoke, feeling a little unhappy, Liu Tai had already stated a long time ago that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but at this moment, the words spoken by the beauty were obviously dissatisfied with the political situation, of course, the beauty spoke very squarely, did not express her own opinions, just let Liu Tai be diligent in government.

"Yan'er, I don't want to hear about the national debt from your mouth again!" The tone is a bit heavy, but Liu Tai knows that this trend must be curbed, if Liu Tai doesn't express any opinions this time, not only the beauties in front of him will say more in the future, but even the gang in the harem will not let Liu Tai be pure.

Hearing Liu Tai's somewhat heavy words, the beauty couldn't help but stiffen, and then lowered her head slightly apprehensively and stopped making a sound. The beauty knows Liu Tai's surname very well, if she argues with Liu Tai at this moment, then the favor she has received will be instantly gone, even if the beauty's face can be called a country and a city!

The beauty is naturally the talented woman Cai Yan! is also the first and only girl in Liu Tai who has set an in-law since she was a child. Talented women, naturally different from others, the way of thinking will not be so imprisoned, Liu Tai forbids the harem to discuss politics, on the surface I don't say it, but I have a lot of opinions in my heart.

But Cai Yan also knows that Liu Tai will never change this rule because of anyone, after all, when this rule was set, Liu Tai ordered someone to go down in history, this is a hard surname law, and no one is allowed to change it.

Seeing Cai Yan lower his head and look a little aggrieved, Liu Tai shook his head. In fact, Liu Tai didn't mean to blame Cai Yan, Liu Tai also appreciated Cai Yan's talent very much, otherwise he wouldn't have spoiled Cai Yan often, causing Cai Yan to become the second concubine with a dragon seed.

"Your Majesty, my sister made a slip of the tongue for a while, don't blame Your Majesty." Zhen Mi on the side saw Cai Yan's aggrieved look, and suddenly couldn't help shaking Liu Tai's arm and said. Zhen Mi grew up with Liu Tai since she was a child, so she naturally knows what Liu Tai likes and dislikes, and she will never offend, so in the harem, Zhen Mi is one of the most favored women.

"How can I blame Yan'er?" Pinched Zhen Mi's cute little nose, Liu Tai took out a free hand and pulled Cai Yan not far away into his arms, and said to Cai Yan in a gentle tone: "Yan'er, I know that you are very rational and have special opinions on state affairs, but my rules cannot be changed!" ”

"Although the current national debt matter has made the people's burden heavier, but over the years, the people in northern Xinjiang have surplus grain at home, and it is not without benefit to the people to sell some grain in exchange for an increase in the national debt. Liu Tai said patiently to Cai Yan. And Cai Yan leaned on Liu Tai's arms and didn't speak, quietly listening to Liu Tai talking.

Many years ago, northern Xinjiang had begun to issue treasury bonds on a trial basis, but the number had been very strictly controlled, and ordinary people could not buy them except for some merchants.

Liu Tai naturally knows very well about treasury bonds, and he also knows the pros and cons of issuing treasury bonds for a country. However, Liu Tai did not plan to use the national debt to maintain war spending for a long time, after all, this is not a good idea. And the reason why this is the case at present is just to relieve the pressure on the government treasury.

The large-scale issuance of treasury bonds did get the results that Liu Tai wanted, which greatly eased the pressure on financial support in northern Xinjiang. You know, some time ago, Liu Tai even had to mobilize the private treasury to rescue the people of the major states and counties in the Central Plains, hundreds of thousands, millions of tons of grain went south in batches, this is all real money in exchange, it is impossible for Liu Tai's personal treasury to bear this huge expenditure, right?

Therefore, the issuance of government bonds is unavoidable. But fortunately, the people of northern Xinjiang can also understand Liu Tai's situation, you know, the people are completely ignorant of the concept of national bonds, if it is not for the support of Liu Tai's infinite prestige, even if the purchase of national bonds can obtain huge benefits, the people will not buy them.

As the saying goes, it's true to hold it in your own hands!

"Maybe Your Majesty is right, but has Your Majesty ever thought about what to do if the national debt gets out of control, or is controlled by some interested merchants?" Although he couldn't say it, Cai Yan couldn't help but say softly. Cai Yan's starting point is good, after all, Cai Yan is Liu Tai's woman, and everything is first of all for Liu Tai's consideration.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Liu Tai couldn't help but change his complexion. But then it was well hidden. Cai Yan's words, Liu Tai did not think about it, you must know that if some people have no surplus grain on hand, it is very likely that they will transfer the treasury bonds in their hands to merchants at a low price, and the merchants hold a large number of treasury bonds, which will even affect the decision-making of the authorities in the future, which is not a good spearhead.

Treasury bonds do not require the purchaser to redeem them, and the exchange period is at least three years. In other words, if there is a disaster in a certain place within three years, and the local people exchange their food and household property for national debt, the consequences will be extremely bad! At that time, those merchants who are unprofitable and cannot afford to make early profits will definitely put their ideas on the national bonds in the hands of the people, and the government has no corresponding policies, so the unlucky ones are the people who support Liu Tai 100%.

"I'll take care of it." Nodding, Liu Tai's big hand gently stroked Cai Yan's smooth black hair, and a smile of appreciation for Cai Yan hung on the corner of his mouth.
