On the way back to the Northern Capital from Luoyang, Wen Yi was warmly welcomed by the people. Along the way, hundreds of people greeted him at the pier in every town, and he had to make a symbolic stop to pay his respects.

Of course, he was not naïve enough to think that these people came spontaneously, and there must be someone behind the organization.

But one thing he can be sure of is that most of the people are not opposed to coming to greet him - this is the information that Zhao Zhengzhi heard privately.

And there are some clues in the faces of the people who greeted him, and these people are indeed grateful to him.

This is not only the impact of land reform, but also makes the people willing to sit down and listen to the court, and are willing to believe the words of the court.

Let the people be grateful to the court and Wen Yi is the follow-up ideological work. To use modern terms, political work is done well.

Wen Yi knows very well how important the ideological position is, if you don't want it, you will be preempted by others, and it is impossible for him to give this piece to others for nothing.

What's more, he wants to absorb and merge the four Yi into a group, and now is the critical moment, and it is impossible to leave it alone.

Those grassroots officials, medical staff under the medical system, teachers and students under the academic and political system, and even Taoist teachers...... They are all his political cadres.

In addition to their own work, these people are also responsible for explaining new ideas and new policies to the people.

The combination of New Ideas, New Policies, and Land Reform has led to the current situation.

The reason why Wen Yi stopped to accept the worship of the people was not all to show off and satisfy his vanity, but to show others.

Officials, careerists, aliens who have migrated and settled here, unwilling tribal leaders, princes and nobles, etc.

The Qin State ministers and generals who were traveling with the ship were deeply touched, Fu Hong hid in the cabin and looked out of the window, and behind him were Fu Luo, Fu Ya, Fu Rong and other Fu clan's backbones.

"I'm loyal to understanding why my father chose to follow this path."

Fu Ya smiled bitterly: "Yes, our eyes are too narrow to see this, only the Heavenly King can see it." ”

Fu Rong said sadly: "The Heavenly King is trading his own reputation for my Fu family's chance to survive, but at the beginning, I even blamed him for cowardice in my heart...... It's really ignorant. ”

Fu Luo's expression was the most complicated, he hadn't seen Fu Jian communicate in person, and he didn't know Fu Jian's true thoughts, it was Fu Rong who led people over to surrender by pressing his head.

He has a deep prejudice against Fu Jian and even Fu Rong in his heart, even if Fu Jian's suicide Mingzhi has not been completely eliminated, but now he suddenly understands.

Tang's suppression of Qin was all-round, not just as simple as troops and weapons.

A very intuitive comparison, the Qin State already needs to desperately squeeze the people to barely maintain, and this kind of oppression makes the Fu family quickly lose the hearts of the people.

The soldiers and civilians of the Qin State were war-weary, and when they heard that they were going to fight, they became panicked, and even self-harmed to evade military service.

As for the Tang Kingdom, just look at the people along the way.

The war had no effect on them, and many of them wished to be soldiers.

As a soldier in the Tang Kingdom, he was directly divided into 200 acres of land, which could make a person jump from a poor peasant to a rich peasant and a small landlord.

Family members are treated as military dependents, and they can be given priority in medical treatment, and their children are given priority in school.

If you are injured and retired, you can become a village official, a catcher, a teacher, and even better, you can go to the yamen to become a clerk or even participate in the imperial examination as an official.

If you can make meritorious deeds and get the title, it will be more glorious to your ancestors and enrich future generations.

If you can get the title, you will be a prince in the future.

If he dies in battle, the family can also receive a huge amount of compensation, and can directly entitle one of his children to school until he graduates from college.

And in the future, whether it is to participate in the imperial examination or to serve as a soldier, priority will be given to admission and promotion.

It can be said that the soldiers of the Tang State are not afraid of death.

Although the people of the Tang State were also afraid of war, they supported the Tang State in conquest and rebellion.

This involves a problem of ideological education, and Tang Guo has always instilled another idea in the people: the whole country is a whole, don't think that everything will be fine if you live well, and you can ignore others.

This is wrong.

The rebels elsewhere will grow stronger, and when they become stronger, they will come and take your land, enslave you, and let you live the same life as before.

Only when the whole country is unified and no one is against the imperial court, can everyone's life be better.

Of course, this kind of oral education alone is not enough, but also to make the people feel the benefits of the Tang Kingdom.

This involves the issue of heritage, the Tang State has a thicker family foundation, and ordinary people who raise an army of millions do not feel much of a burden, so they are naturally willing to support the country to fight a war and unify the whole country.

For the common people, they can only be reasonable when they are full, and all the truths when they are hungry are utopian.

……

Fu Luo and the others didn't understand these things before, but they only understood what was going on after they surrendered to the Tang Kingdom. Combined with the situation of the worship of all the people in front of them, they cannot help but be moved.

Thinking of this, Fu Luo sighed and said: "We are not as good as the Heavenly King, fortunately there is a Heavenly King, otherwise my Fu Clan still doesn't know what will happen." ”

After saying this, his heart felt as if a shackle had been removed, and he suddenly became relaxed.

In fact, it was not only him who unloaded the burden in his heart, but also Fu Hong and even many people.

After all, from the original princes and nobles to prisoners, many people will inevitably be uncomfortable for a while. And this huge gap in strength can help them recognize the gap more quickly and accept the reality.

……

In this way, Wen Yi and his party did not reach the northern capital until December 28.

Here he naturally won the welcome of the people again, and the prince Wenyuan, who returned to Beijing for the New Year and reported on his work, led hundreds of civil and military officials to the dock to greet him.

The process was skipped, only that after returning to the capital, Wen Yi simply met with the harem concubines and children, and then turned into government affairs.

First of all, Chen Xiu made a work report on behalf of the cabinet, and on the whole, it was naturally full of achievements, at least there was no suspense about ending the troubled times and completing the great reunification of the country.

This feat alone is enough to make everyone here go down in history.

Then each department made a work report, Wenyi is most concerned about population and land, which is the foundation of a country.

"There are 31 million people today, and there are still many people who have fled to the mountains to escape the war, and it is roughly estimated that there are millions of people. In the future, we will slowly find these people and include them in the governance ......"

"There are 418.64 million mu of cultivated land, of which ...... is the upper field. Shimoda ...... In addition to Yichen and Hexi (formerly Qinliang), land reform work has been completed. ”

Wen Yi was quite satisfied with this data, but he was a little helpless: "Population, it has always been the biggest obstacle to our development, if there are 100 million people in the world now...... No, even if there are 50 million, many things will be much easier to do. ”

Look at the territory of Tang Guo at this time, you can know why he said this.

The entire Nanyang + the former Japanese slave country + Indochina Peninsula + plus the entire south + the entire north + half of the Western Regions, at this time, the land area of the Tang State has exceeded the previous Tang Gaozong Li Zhi period.

And the population is 10 million less than it was then.

Now population has become the biggest shortcoming that seriously restricts the development of the Tang Kingdom, and the Beihai and Ferghana basins need a large number of people to fill in before they can become their own land.

Otherwise, it can only be ruled in name.

But the population is the most urgent, and can only give birth slowly, which involves the problem of the medical system.

"Encourage childbirth and make the construction of the medical system the first priority in the next five years."
