Chapter 19: "Diligent Government"

With the rise of large-scale fishing and the success of several other measures, Dahan's food has gradually become abundant and diversified, and a crisis of food shortage has been quietly eliminated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Ordinary people don't even know that there was a food crisis in Dahan, they only know that there was a period of time when the price of grain in the market rose very sharply, but soon the official warehouse sold a large amount of grain at a low price, and it was obviously the government that came forward to stabilize the price of grain.

At the same time, some grain merchants were arrested, their homes raided, and sentenced on charges of hoarding and inflating grain prices. As for how many of these people are really guilty, and how many of them have been wronged because they did not cooperate with the government to stabilize grain prices and refused to lend grain to the government, ordinary people will not care at all, and there is no way to know.

Liu Hou's edict was very gentle, and he hoped that the government at all levels could negotiate with those large households to solve the problem peacefully and create a river crab society. However, it is not known how officials at all levels understood his edict and how they implemented the measure of "borrowing grain."

In many cases, the decrees of the central court are good, but when they are implemented at the grassroots level, they will change. Not every official understands the decree very well, and not every official who understands the decree will strictly follow the decree of the central court.

This is also something that can't be helped, after all, officials at all levels are not robots, but living people, and the whole world is not a computer game, and the decrees issued by the imperial court will not be strictly implemented like computer instructions.

Fortunately, not long after the reunification of the world, Liu Hou and the prestige of the imperial court are huge, although some big families have been complained a little by the local government, but no one dares to make any big rebellious moves. In addition, the supervision of the imperial history is pervasive, and those officials dare not go too far, and there is still a degree of doing things.

In general, the people are relatively calm, and this food crisis can be regarded as surviving. After the food crisis was lifted, Liu Hou was not idle, and now is a period of social upheaval, and all kinds of new problems are emerging one after another. Many of these problems have not been experienced by previous dynasties, and several cabinet ministers have no previous experience to draw on, and even the world's top sages like Zhuge Liang feel very difficult about these brand-new problems.

There is always an inexplicable fear of things that have not been seen before, and the same is true for emerging social issues, and several cabinet ministers work overtime every day. However, no matter how hard they try, there are still some problems that they are still helpless, which is related to the limitations of the times.

Liu Hou had to run to the cabinet from the gentle village of the harem from time to time to participate in their meetings and give them ideas at any time. Although Liu Hou was not a politician in later generations and did not participate in the process of government policy-making, he never ate pork or saw a pig run.

He had received many years of ideological and political education, and he was still a person who cared about current affairs and politics, and in that era when information was overwhelming, he could easily learn about some social problems from newspapers, television, the Internet and other channels, as well as the solutions of the government at that time.

Moreover, in that era, speech was still free, and all so-called experts and professors often expressed their views on some social issues in the media, and even some social issues would attract widespread attention from the public.

The general public can also express their opinions on the Internet, although many of them do not help solve the problem, and even some are just malicious abuse and wanton venting, but there is no shortage of insightful people.

After seeing a lot of this kind of thing, Liu Hou also understood the solutions to some social problems. And the people of that era were very active, and often for a problem, someone would propose a lot of solutions.

Because of this, every time Liu Hou attended a cabinet meeting, he would arouse the surprise of the ministers, this young emperor was not very old, but he was always able to put forward unique insights on some social problems that they found intractable, and sometimes there was more than one solution.

They had long known that this little emperor was precocious, but they never knew that he was so smart that he could suppress the entire cabinet by himself, which made the ministers arrogant, and the ministers who had always regarded themselves as the proud sons of heaven were all in their hearts.

In fact, this is just that they are rare and strange, and all kinds of social problems that occur in the Han Dynasty now are unseen and unheard of in their eyes, but in Liu Hou's eyes, many problems have happened in later generations, and some are even commonplace problems in that era.

These problems can be well solved in later generations, of course, it was not always smooth sailing to solve these problems at that time, and some problems have suffered a lot of losses, gone through many detours, and finally found a perfect solution.

And now Liu Hou can skip those twists and turns of the exploration process, and directly throw out those perfect solutions that have been formulated by thousands of tempers in later generations. Of course, the perfect solution here is not very accurate, social problems are very complex, the so-called many people are difficult to reconcile, and no one solution can meet everyone's requirements.

In many cases, when some people benefit, it often hurts the interests of others, so the so-called perfect solution, or the best solution, is to meet the interests of the majority of people and create a fair and just playing field.

With Liu Hou's intervention, the work of those cabinet ministers has eased a lot, they no longer have a sad face, and the progress of their work is much faster. In fact, in their opinion, this is what a cabinet meeting looks like, how can the emperor not be present when discussing national affairs?

The emperors of all dynasties discussed major national affairs, and the emperor raised the problem and handed it over to the ministers to discuss the solution.

However, Liu Hou took the initiative to give up most of his power as an emperor and became a shopkeeper, which gave them a lot of power, but it was also contrary to their traditional perception, which always made them feel a little uneasy.

During this time, there were many problems in the country, but unexpectedly, the emperor was "diligent" and had the appearance of an emperor again. This reassures the ministers, and also makes the other ministers more at ease, don't underestimate this "peace of mind", which is related to the "morale" of the officials, and helps to solve a series of crises facing the current imperial court.
