Chapter 569 Policies to Encourage Childbearing

Duan knows that there are three ways to refine the magic weapon, one is to use the power of his own Yuan Shen to warm up and cultivate, this is the most common method for powerful cultivators, the natal magic weapon must be used in this way to refine successfully, the benefits are of course self-evident, the magic weapon that is successfully refined with the Yuan Shen will be as flexible as his hands and feet, and it will grow with his own Yuan Shen, with unlimited potential.

There is also a way to use the power of heaven and earth to refine magic weapons, which is the most commonly used method by refining masters, this method of refining weapons can refine magic weapons in large quantities, and the speed will be faster, but it lacks the flexibility and growth potential of natal magic weapons, which is suitable for those big sects to refine primary magic weapons for their disciples.

The last one is the method that Li Yunfei is using now, with the help of the people's wish to refining, gratitude, wishes, faith, merit and other magical energies to refine, this kind of sacrificial method requires a lot of conditions, but it is suitable for Li Yunfei to use now.

In order to better refine the glorious battle armor, Li Yunfei deliberately placed the place of the court meeting in Lujiang City, only in this way can he walk around the palace every day and brush up on his sense of existence, after a period of experimentation, the special energy absorbed by this is several times more than staying in the palace.

Of course, in order not to waste money and money, I didn't do too much honor guards when I commuted to and from work every day, and I accompanied the escort of more than a dozen people, this Lujiang City is now the political center, and the law and order are good at night, and the road is not closed, and of course there is no need to be afraid of any assassin sneak attack. Besides, Li Yunfei's own strength is not something that ordinary assassins can sneak attack, unless it is a powerful cultivator, but it is impossible for a cultivator to assassinate an emperor, which will damage his luck.

Li Yunfei, who is not accustomed to getting up early, set the time of the court meeting at 9 o'clock in the morning from the beginning, of course, the time was set so late, and another reason was that after the meeting, it was basically noon, so he often invited those officials who participated in the court meeting to have a meal and drink to enhance interpersonal relations.

Being an emperor is not as simple as imagined, people who don't know always think that as long as they become emperors, they can be high, and they don't put their courtiers in their eyes at all, and they can push people out and cut them when they don't go their way, but in fact, it's just pure obscenity. If there really is such an emperor, then the ruin of the country and the death of the family will be just around the corner, and then he will be cut by a thousand knives.

If you want to sit on the throne for a long time, you must win over a large number of subordinates, not only the subordinates unilaterally curry favor with the emperor, but the emperor will also try his best to give preferential treatment to his subordinates to buy people's hearts.

If you want to be a Ming Jun, you must also know people and make good use of them, reward and punish clearly, try to carve your own preferences to do things, and try to discuss things with ministers as much as possible, only in this way can the national strength flourish, if there is no support from a large number of subordinates, what policy to benefit the people is a fart, no one to implement the best policy is hungry and useless.

At half past eight o'clock on time, I went out of the palace gate, from the palace to the office building of Lujiang City, a total of only five kilometers of road, the time is still quite sufficient, you can leisurely and slowly enjoy the snow scenery along the way.

The first snow of the year is quite large, for two consecutive days, down and down, full of half a foot of thick snow, everywhere is a piece of white, this kind of scenery is relatively rare in the Yangtze River Basin, so after the first snow blooms, there are a lot of people on the road who come out to play and enjoy the snow, and occasionally you can hear someone chanting poetry or something.

……

Coming to the office building in a leisurely manner, more than 200 officials above the fifth grade had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Li Yunfei, they also shouted long live and paid a big salute, Li Yunfei did not refuse this kind of worship, because the glory armor can also absorb this strange energy fluctuation.

"Your Majesty, this year's census and money and grain reserves have been counted, please take a look at Your Majesty!" Sima Fang respectfully sent a detailed investigation report, he didn't expect to be reused, and he was directly appointed as the chief Sinong, which really didn't make him think of it, so he was also very serious.

"It's been hard work these days!" After taking the statistical materials that were handed over, he casually said politely, this old man is still extremely upright, experienced, and efficient, of course, he must use it, and he can also buy people's hearts by doing so.

"It is a blessing for the old minister to be able to share the worries of His Majesty." That Sima Fang also thanked Li Yunfei when he heard it.

"You're welcome, please take a seat!" At the court meeting, everyone has a thick cushion to kneel on both sides, everyone can also have a table, and inevitably there is even a cup of tea, which is really like a meeting in later generations.

Everyone was sorting out what they wanted to report, of course, waiting for Li Yunfei to finish reading Sima Fang's statistics.

Since it is now uneasy to collect taxes on the head, the population statistics are more correct, including those who are old, weak, women and children, so this year's statistics are very detailed and no longer a vague concept.

It has a population of 5.09 million households, 25.15 million people, and 6.1 million young and middle-aged people...... The grain stored in the official warehouses in various places totaled 81.5 million stones, and the private reserves could not be counted, but it was initially estimated that there were about 50 million stones. Now the cultivated area is 60,000 mu, and the yield is still a little low, but the newly put into production of Hefei has been successfully tested in the experimental field, and the yield has increased more than four times......

"Your Majesty, Hanzhong Zhang Lu is willing to vote, but you just need Your Majesty to give him a marquis reward!" Chen Gong also came up with the results of the recent negotiations, Zhang Lu is finally willing to surrender, because Gao Shun is stationed in Wuzhangyuan, and recently increased his troops, Hanzhong and are not very easy to defend, so since he can't hold on, then he will accept it when he sees it, if he really fights to the end and is defeated, it will be the fate of raiding the family and exterminating the clan.

"Well, it's a trivial matter, and he should be! So Liu Zhang, do you have any news? ”

"Because of the long distance on Liu Zhang's side, it will take some time to exchange letters and history."

“…… I hope he can also accept the reality, this war will cause countless casualties and countless happy families to be shattered because of this! Li Yunfei sighed with emotion, mainly because of the impact data, the information sent back from the north was quite shocking.

More than 10 years ago, there were more than 3 million households in the northern Central Plains, and the initial estimate was that there were 15 to 20 million people, but now there are less than 4 million households left, and the remaining 10 million or more people either starved to death or died in war during the short period of 10 years of war.

"The Holy God is merciful, because of the war, the population of our dynasty is insufficient, and now many women have found a way to make money, resulting in a lot of fewer girls who are willing to marry and have children, so the minister thinks that for women over sixteen who do not marry, they will be punished with money and food!" Xu Shu proposed.

“…… Punishment is always bad, so it's better to encourage with a reward! "It's always hard to force others to marry, so Li Yunfei directly proposed another way to deal with it, which may be better to enhance enthusiasm.

"How does Your Majesty reward and encourage?"

"Every woman who gives birth to a child receives one stone of grain plus a hundred denarii for one year...... In addition, lactation is also considered merit age (similar to military merit)! "The subsidy given is quite generous, almost the order is kind to those women who work more than half of the money and food, and it is considered to be too old, this is indeed too preferential, having children is the obligation of a woman, and making money to support the family is the obligation of a man......

Many people are a little puzzled, they only need punishment to solve the problem, and even the court can earn some benefits by the way, but the lord has used a preferential policy, and would rather let the court spend a lot more, but the lord makes money and hoards grain, so even if he can't figure it out, there is still a lot of sycophants in the hall.

……

"Aunt Zhang, have you heard about it, there is a subsidy for giving birth to a baby!" A young woman said to another middle-aged woman with some excitement.

“…… What is the subsidy, tell me quickly, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth. ”

"As long as you give birth to a baby, you will have a stone of grain and a hundred yuan of nutritional subsidies every month, and you can receive it for one year, and you can still count the age of giving birth to a baby at home, and you can also get money when you retire in the future!"

"My heavenly grandfather, how can there be such a good thing?" Aunt Zhang also couldn't believe it when she heard the news, in the past, because of the small population, if the king wanted to encourage childbirth, he would only fine money, for example, if a woman is more than fifteen and does not marry, she will be fined some money and food. Now it is unheard of to directly distribute money and food to the woman who gave birth to the baby.

"It is said that at today's court meeting, the Holy Lord issued an edict, and an official document was posted at the yamen, saying that as long as you go to the yamen to report and confirm the situation, you can receive money and food...... Hey, why are you going, auntie, aren't you going to do laundry? ”

"Don't go first, I have to go home and tell my daughter-in-law the good news, go first." As he spoke, he hurried back.

The daughter-in-law of her family originally found a job in a garment factory, but because she had a child, she couldn't go to the workshop to make money, and she was a little depressed. Now that the Holy Lord has a new policy, the child at home has one stone of grain and one hundred yuan a month, which is considered merit, and I think the daughter-in-law will not be so depressed when she hears the news......

The new decree has just been issued, and the news is like wings, and it spreads throughout the entire Lujiang City in an instant, within a radius of dozens of miles, and at the same time, countless flying pigeons quickly transmit the news to various places. When the people heard the news, they were all grateful to Dade, and they were swiped by Lu Yunfei with a large wave of prestige blessings.

Nowadays, the people's thoughts are relatively simple, as long as you are a little better to them, they directly treat you as a god, and because the thoughts are relatively simple, the blessing is also quite sincere, under the operation of unknown rules, gratitude and wishes can be turned into an unknown energy blessing on the blessed person, and the luck will also increase.

The reason why Li Yunfei dared to do this is because this year is generally another bumper harvest year, and the production of chemical Hefei that he tried has also been successful, and he thinks that after the promotion next year, the harvest can be increased by as much as three or four times, so there is no need to worry about insufficient food.

As for the money, in fact, after it was sent out, the people used it, and after a few turns, it would return to the hands of the imperial court, and one hundred dollars of money was enough to drive the economy of five hundred dollars!
