The rebellion of the feudal kings is about to be put down, but the war is worthy of destroying all demons, not only destroying the foundation of the family's rule, but also completely destroying the economy of the Central Plains. A great war completely destroyed the most elite place of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the wealth accumulated in the Central Plains since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty was destroyed in this war.

In order to restore the economy of the Central Plains as soon as possible, as soon as Sima Shu returned to Luoyang, he convened a meeting of cabinet members to discuss the post-war reconstruction plan of the Central Plains. Any reconstruction plan needs the support of money and food, and fortunately, Sima Shu picked up a lot of money from the family in the Central Plains.

"War always destroys everything that can be destroyed, and makes a mess of what was originally good. The Central Plains region was originally a land of abundance and abundance, but after last year's and this year's war, the entire Central Plains has been dilapidated. In order to escape the war, ordinary people fled to other places, resulting in barren fields and withering people. The money and grain that the court relied on before are gone, and without a three-to-five-year rest, the Central Plains does not want to become the granary and money bag of the court again. ”

Sima Shu said very regretfully, paused, he glanced at several cabinet ministers around him, and then said in a firm tone: "We must take measures to rebuild the Central Plains!" ”

Indeed, as Sima Shu said, since the war of cutting the feudal domain that began last year, it has not completely ended until now. In particular, several major battles took place in the hinterland of the Central Plains, although the imperial court won the final victory. But not to mention that the money and grain accumulated in Guanzhong for three years have been exhausted, that is, the originally prosperous Central Plains is now barren and homeless.

This is the consequence of the domestic war, looking at the current situation, Sima Shu has some understanding of why after the Eight Kings Rebellion in history, the Hu people will enter the Central Plains like a bamboo. The national strength of the Western Jin Dynasty was exhausted in this civil war, and when the Hu people invaded, the imperial court had no strength to resist at all.

However, this time, although Sima Shu had foreseen that the losses were much less than in the original history, even if this was the case, the Central Plains would have to recuperate for at least three or five years.

The war was over, the imperial court side was victorious, and many of the people who had fled began to return to their hometowns, plus the population plundered from the family, a large number. How to resettle them and how to rebuild the Central Plains is a huge project. This is now an imminent matter.

Reconstruction is a long-term project that requires integrated planning and balance. Therefore, as soon as the battle of Tiger Prison Pass was decided, Sima Shu instructed the cabinet to start making preparations.

Now that the situation is more stable, the five-way army has come out together, sweeping all over the country, although there is still a lot of heavy military affairs to deal with, but it is relatively much easier, Sima Shu naturally shifted his energy to the reconstruction work.

As soon as the prince's words fell, Zhang Hua coughed lightly and said, "Ahem! What His Highness said is very true. The minister also believed that the reconstruction of the Central Plains was an urgent task that could not be delayed. Judging by the current situation. The people who had been hidden by the family will be released to become yeoman farmers, plus those who have fled and returned home, all of whom will need to be helped by the imperial court. Let the people not go hungry or suffer from the cold when they return to their hometowns, and let them have food, fields, houses, and education. ”

"According to the measures taken during the reconstruction of the northern land, the minister built many simple houses to shelter them from the wind and rain, opened porridge sheds, and encouraged them to open fields and resume production. However, due to the great war between the court and the rebels at that time, the progress of this work was still very slow. At present, there are still many ordinary people who have no place to live and no food. ”

The people present here, such as Sima Shu, Zhang Hua, Zhang Bin, Du Xi, Yang Xuanzhi, Wang Yan, etc., have all gone to Luoyang to comfort the refugees who fled to Luoyang, and know very well the life of refugees.

The Central Plains has always been the most valued place in all dynasties, and it can be said that there is no one, and since ancient times, there is a saying that those who win the Central Plains win the world. If the economy of the Central Plains can't recover quickly, then the big money bag and granary of the imperial court will be gone, and the losses will be great!

Sima Shu is naturally well aware of the important surname, and decided to seize the time to restore the grand occasion of the Central Plains.

Zhang Hua's words made Zhang Bin think of the scene of the inspection, and his heart was sad, and at the same time he thought of the important surname of the Central Plains, Zhang Bin did not hesitate to support the prince and said: "Your Highness is right, the imperial court must rebuild the Central Plains region as soon as possible no matter what, in order to let the people live a good life, the imperial court can not leave the common people of the Central Plains alone even if they smash the pot and sell iron." ”

Zhang Bin's words were loud, which made Wang Yan and them shocked, and said together: "The ministers have no objections!" ”

"Okay, since everyone has no doubts, let's talk about what we should do to make the Central Plains prosperous again?"

"Your Highness, we have just copied a lot of money from the family, and in addition to giving allowances to the soldiers who are leved, we can also save a lot. The court thought that the court could lend some money to ordinary people to help them build houses, buy livestock, buy seeds, and even give them horses that could be used for wounded on the battlefield. In this way, they will have the ability to cultivate the land allocated to them by the imperial court, and as long as they survive this year, the Central Plains will be able to stabilize next year. In this way, it will not be long before the Central Plains will have tens of millions of mansions, and the prosperity of the Central Plains will be restored. Du Xi first began to make suggestions.

Du Xi had assisted the prince in Guanzhong to preside over the reconstruction plan of Guanzhong, and he had used this method, but now it is just experience.

"And the imperial court can also buy cement and other building materials from Guanzhong, sell them at a low price, and after their houses are repaired, we can also forgive them all the debts, anyway, what we have now is money."

"Your Highness, the minister also thinks that Lord Du said it very well, and at the same time, we can also set up some factories in the Central Plains."

Now, after the demonstration of Guanzhong, many ministers of the court and China are no longer so reluctant to factories, especially after the test of this great war, if it were not for the support of a large number of factories in the country, the imperial court would never have defeated the vassal king so easily. These factories provided ample weapons for the large army at the front, ensuring the combat effectiveness of the large army.

"Good! The cabinet will do what everyone said just now, but the procuratorate and other supervision departments must do a good job of supervision, once it is found that there is a situation of destroying businessmen and corrupt officials profiting, they must be resolute, and those who entrap the people and harm the people should be closed down, and they should be killed, and they should be killed, and there is no need to be soft! ”

The prince's murderous words made everyone's hearts sink, and some officials of the big families secretly reminded themselves that they must restrain their families well after they go back, and the province will be caught by the prince in the future.

In addition to the above, Sima Shu also has a huge plan in his heart, and after cleaning up the Central Plains family, he is ready to let go of the threshold for technology.

"As everyone knows, the court has mastered the recipes and production technologies of cement, glass, soap, tobacco, salt and other products, and plans to hand over all these technologies related to people's livelihood to the private sector, and they will be responsible for production and sales."

"Your Highness...... Are you right? "The people who are most concerned about this matter are Wang Yan and their families, since the prince made a fortune through various factories, these people have long been red-eyed. The family was so active in supporting the feudal king's rebellion, and it was not without the ambition to snatch these technologies from the crown prince.

And some of the families that have already returned to the prince have not caught up with the reconstruction work of Guanzhong, coupled with the prince's vigilance against the family, they have also not reaped enough economic benefits. Now seeing that the prince is willing to let go of technical restrictions, how can he not make Wang Yan and others happy.

"What His Royal Highness said is good, but cement is of great strategic significance to the court, if it falls into the people, it will be very serious for the enemy to obtain the words, and the minister will ask the emperor to think twice." Zhang Hua immediately expressed his opinion and expressed his opposition.

Zhang Hua's worries were not superfluous, and Sima Shu never underestimated the wisdom of the ancients. In the Koto region, some places have begun to imitate the production of cement, and although the quality is not as good as the authentic one, it is not bad. King Langya even began to fortify the healthy city walls with local cement, which would certainly make it more difficult to unify the war in the future.

Zhang Hua's words were immediately agreed by Du Xi and Zhang Bin, and Zhang Bin said: "Your Highness, the minister also thinks that what Lord Shoufu said is reasonable. ”

Sima Shu naturally understood their concerns, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, Gu has already thought about it, we have to strengthen supervision, and leaking technical secrets must be dealt with seriously." Besides, don't we still have gunpowder? You also know the power of gunpowder, and if you attack a fortified city like Health, it will not be difficult to take it with our current artillery! ”

"There are pros and cons to everything, and the regulation of some technologies can greatly promote economic development, and we will lift the ban on a number of technologies that are related to people's livelihood but are not too sensitive every year. Let the power of the people promote the development of this part of the technology, we must distinguish clearly, the imperial court cannot guarantee everything! If you should let go, you have to let go! ”

"Cement, for example, can be used not only to build walls, but also for military purposes. At the same time, it is also a good building material, which can be used to repair houses and build houses for the benefit of the people. The house made of cement is dry and clean, more suitable for the common people, and more suitable for health, so why don't we do it? ”

Zhang Hua and the others glanced at each other and said, "Your Highness is reasonable!" It's the ministers who are not thinking about it! ”

"In this case, this matter will be handed over to the cabinet to be responsible, but Taifu is in poor health, and Mr. Meng Sun is responsible for the specific work, and other provinces and ministries must actively cooperate and work together to strive to do this matter well!"

"Obey your orders!" The crowd bowed and replied. (To be continued.) )
