Shang Ji looked at the introduction of the characters on the system and was speechless for a long time.

Now ten days have passed since the enthronement ceremony, and the matter of Shang Ji's enthronement has already been announced to the world, and from now on there will be no more big men, some are just Hengwu!

In the past ten days, grand celebrations were held in all parts of Hengwu Kingdom to congratulate Shang Ji on his accession to the throne, which was very lively. The envoys of other countries also met with Shang Ji one by one, and sent quite a lot of tributary goods.

However, no matter how lively things are, there will be a day when they will calm down, and as time passes, all parts of the country begin to return to normal and re-devote themselves to daily production and life.

After unifying the world, Shang Ji suddenly seemed to be confused.

After all, the goal of working hard for so long has been achieved, which makes Shang Ji a little overwhelmed. But fortunately, the only special task [Path of the Holy Pilgrimage] reactivated Shang Ji's fighting spirit and gave him a new goal.

However, although Shang Ji was eager in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time.

The rule of Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yizhou in the south has not yet been completely stabilized, and as for the farther away Shenyu, Southeast Asia, and Australia, they have only maintained their basic rule, and their control ability is quite weak, so it is not suitable for large-scale foreign warfare at this time.

In view of the current situation, Shang Ji convened his ministers and reformulated the five-year plan.

The five-year plan is simple, focusing on rehabilitation, filling the population in remote areas through mass immigration. The second is the large-scale construction of Chidao, which will take five years to concentrate manpower, material and financial resources to build a Chidao system covering all the territories of the Hengwu Empire.

The third is to crack down on the wealthy families, continue to implement the land replacement law, force the wealthy families who control a large amount of land to shift their main energy to industry and commerce, and at the same time use the children of peasant families headed by Nong He to carry out large-scale new agricultural construction plans to improve the quality and efficiency of agriculture.

Several things are easy to say, but difficult to do.

Fortunately, the Hengwu Empire is now in a state of drawing its sword and looking around, and the surrounding countries and regions are all waiting carefully, for fear that they will suddenly anger Shang Ji and suffer the disaster of destroying the country, which provides a good external environment for the Hengwu Empire to cultivate its internal strength.

An empire with a population of more than tens of billions and no civil strife has been seriously engaged in development, and its achievements every day are enormous.

In the third year of the Hengwu calendar, the prince of the Hengwu Empire and the only son of the Hengwu Emperor, Shang Cheng, reached the age of 15 and held a grand marriage ceremony.

The only daughter of the war king Lu Bu, Lu Linglong, was the crown princess, and the daughters of the Wei prince, Cao Hua and Cao Jie, were the prince's side concubines, and Shang Cheng married three wives in one go.

In the past four years, a total of 6 billion population migrations have been completed through various channels, which has greatly adjusted the population distribution in various parts of the Hengwu Empire.

In the same year, the Chidao plan was basically completed, and within the Hengwu Empire, the main urban arterial roads were connected by Chidao, and the cargo circulation capacity skyrocketed dozens of times. 135 Chinese

Hengwu calendar five years, five-year plan completed.

According to statistics, in the five years of the Hengwu calendar, the total population of the country was 56,896 million, an increase of more than 4 billion over five years ago! The main source of growth is newborns.

The policy of encouraging childbirth that had been implemented since the Pingzhou era was perfectly inherited by the Hengwu Empire, and the stable political situation and abundant food resources made the population of the Hengwu Empire, which had suffered from war, grow rapidly.

Rapid population growth has been accompanied by a surge in tax revenues. In the first year of the Hengwu calendar, the cumulative tax collection of the Hengwu Empire was only 62 billion gold, but in the fifth year of the Hengwu calendar, the annual tax revenue was as high as 109.2 billion gold, an increase of more than 70% in five years!

In terms of agriculture, after five years of hard work by farmers and farmers' children, the grain parameters of the Hengwu Empire have exploded, and all kinds of grains are counted, and the per capita annual grain possession is as high as twenty-four stones, far exceeding the normal needs, although it has only been five years, but famine seems to have become a very distant term.

The tremendous growth of grain has led to the crazy development of the brewing industry and animal husbandry, especially the fierce animal breeding industry, which has ushered in an unprecedented boom.

In the past, only the elite core army had the opportunity to taste the fierce beast meat has begun to enter the homes of ordinary people, and ordinary people can also get a few taels of fierce beast meat to satisfy their hunger during the New Year's holidays.

In terms of the army, although there has been no major war in the past five years, the General's Mansion has not relaxed. Taking advantage of the rare five-year period of peace, a comprehensive readjustment of the armed forces was carried out.

After the adjustment, the army of the Hengwu Empire was divided into a combat reserve army and a garrison army, of which the combat reserve army was the previous combat corps, and the garrison army was the former county soldiers.

There are a total of 200 combat readiness regiments in the country, which are deployed in 16 theaters. Among them, there are six theaters on the mainland, two theaters in Dongying, three theaters in Southeast Asia, three theaters in the body, two theaters in Australia, and the total strength of the combat reserve corps is as high as 50 million!

Along with the increase in quantity, the quality of combat ready corps has also increased significantly.

First of all, the equipment, the standard equipment of the combat readiness corps has been raised to the minimum level of Jinmang!

Fifty million sets of Jinmang-level equipment could scare Shang Ji to death ten years ago, but now it is only Shang Ji who hesitated a little before passing a resolution.

Secondly, in terms of combat effectiveness, the ordinary combat reserve corps has a minimum of six ranks, the title garrison corps has a minimum of seven ranks, and only fifteen ace combat corps have even reached the level of eight orders for all members.

In addition to the garrison, the Hengwu Empire also has two million Praetorian Guards!

The total strength of the Praetorian Guard has not changed from five years ago, but the quality has improved a lot, and the number of ninth-order soldiers has exceeded 300,000.

In addition, following the Hengwu Empire's Praetorian Guard, Wang Shu's Shura Legion has also accumulated enough murderous energy in the suppression of rebellions over the years, and is known as the second heaven-level special class in the world.

In the spring of the sixth year of the Hengwu calendar, when Shang Ji was about to order the conquest of the Quartet, a strange person offered a strange carving, which echoed a broken statue that Shang Ji got at the auction in the early years.

Take out the view, the two carvings are combined into a turtle and snake statue, which is the last spirit of the four spirits!

So far, the four spirits of the Huaxia District, the Green Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Xuanwu have all returned to their positions, and the return of the four holy spirits has made the Fengfeng, Water and Fire in the Huaxia District extremely active, and the cultivation efficiency has been greatly improved, and the Huaxia District is like a fairyland!
