……

Time flies, and it's the beginning of March in the blink of an eye.

In Chang'an City, it is still bustling and full of people, and the spiritual outlook of the people is very different from that at the beginning of Liu Ce's accession to the throne.

The scenes of the troubled times in the past have long been replaced by laughter and laughter, and this hard-won life is something that the people of all dynasties and generations in the past dare not think of.

Today, Liu Ce came to the royal garden outside the city - Shanglin Garden.

Shanglin Garden covers an area of 500,000 acres, including farmland, mountain forests, orchards, pastures, etc.

The reason why he occupies so much land is not to enrich his own pockets and enjoy life, but to prevent Weiran.

"I heard that there are continuous disasters in various parts of Heyuan, and although the local government office has made every effort to provide disaster relief, 20,000 people are still displaced and have come to Gyeonggi to earn a living?"

"Back to Your Majesty, after verification by the Ministry of Households, a total of 18,426 people are displaced in Chang'an, and all the posts in Chang'an City have been accepted, and when the disaster is alleviated, they will be arranged to return to their hometowns."

Listening to Qin Mo's explanation, Liu Ce sighed lightly and nodded, pointed to Shanglin Yuan and said, "Spread my will, open Shanglin Garden to those disaster victims, and lease ten acres of fertile land per household.

If they don't want to farm, they can be tended to orchards or pastures, and then they can be settled in two years before they return. ”

Qin Mo arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous. ”

Liu Ce: "What benevolence is not benevolence?" The world is people-oriented, if the people's hearts do not exist, can the country and society be stable? ”

Qin Mo nodded yes, and then asked, "I don't know how much tax rent Your Majesty plans to collect?" ”

Liu Ce: "One acre of land will be charged at one penny per month, and it will not be too late to harvest it after they have a harvest." ”

This price is no different from Bai Zhi at all, in fact, with Liu Ce's net worth, he does not need to rely on rent collection to ensure the quality of life, after all, he is the largest shareholder of Hanling Firm and Sino-Ocean Trading Group, not only does he not have to reach out to the treasury to ask for money, but also takes the initiative to pay a large amount of commercial taxes every year.

If you ask Dahan, who is the first big tax payer at present? It has to be Liu Ce, the emperor, and I am afraid that no one will dare to believe it.

The purpose of Liu Ce's painstaking efforts to enclose this forest garden is also to solve the livelihood problem of the displaced people, and to study new agricultural products and grain varieties and planting methods along the way.

To be honest, it's not that no one has gossiped about Liu Ce's doing this, Yao Zhong has mentioned this issue more than once before, suggesting that Liu Ce give up reclaiming Shanglin Yuan and hand over the land to the people.

It was only later that I learned that the forest garden was a wasteland, and the garden built by Liu Ce at his personal expense was set up for scientific research and the admission of refugees, so he never stopped it.

The problem of people's livelihood is a big problem from ancient times to the present, ancient Chinese history is because the people's livelihood problems are not guaranteed and constantly break out of various uprisings, even if the Qing Dynasty is such a foolish people's high-pressure rule, there are large-scale civil uprisings, the most famous is the White Lotus Society uprising in the later years of Qianlong and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising in the Xianfeng period, which directly accelerated the demise of the Qing Dynasty.

So don't say that the Chinese nation is very servile, from the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of the Qin Dynasty to the Boxer Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty, the common people have never lacked a sense of resistance for two thousand years, but they just lacked effective leaders.

In addition to the ancient history of the East, the ancient West also had instability in the kingship due to the improper handling of people's livelihood issues.

To this day, international livelihood issues are still a major concern of the United Nations, not to mention developing countries and third countries in the world, and even developed countries will break out on a large scale because people's livelihood is not guaranteed.

Liu Ce understands this very well, if you want to stabilize the situation in the country, you must improve people's livelihood, which is why he began to change the living environment of the people at any cost before he ascended the throne, even if this change will touch the interests of the imperial power in the future, but from the perspective of the overall situation, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

If possible, Liu Ce hopes that in his lifetime he will see the people of Dahan become the first country in the world to enter the country with full social security.

……

At the same time, thousands of miles away in South Australia, Honglin was looking at the royal garden under construction with great interest, which was the dowry he prepared for the marriage of the seventeenth princess.

After a large amount of money was poured down at any cost, the efficiency of the garden took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than two months, the garden has taken shape, and now the craftsmen are laying the outer ground with pebbles.

Looking at the hot scene, and thinking about the internal affairs government with a full system of guilt and silver, Honglin can be described as full of red light these days.

At this moment, Yang Chunsheng came to report: "Long live Lord, Lord Hong asks to see you." ”

Honglin didn't think about it: "Let him come in and talk." ”

After a while, a bearded indigenous official cautiously came to Honglin, knelt down and said, "Slave Hong Qi, long live you!" ”

Honglin raised his hand and said, "Hong Qi, do you know what I am looking for you?" Someone told me that you were corrupt and perverted the law during your tenure in Jiangnan, concealing the disaster and whitewashing the peace, but is there such a thing? ”

Hong Qi was so frightened that he was drenched in cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Long live Lord Mingjian, who is slandering the slaves, the servants are loyal to their duties in Jiangnan, and they dare not say that Jiangnan is governed like a paradise on earth, but the people live and work in peace and contentment, but it is obvious to all!" ”

Honglin smiled: "Get up and speak, I don't mean to blame you, I believe in you, but there is a good saying,

If you don't see everything with your own eyes, how can you know the truth and the truth, I will go and verify it myself, so that I can return your innocence! ”

"Thank you, Long Live Lord Mingcha!"

When Hong Qi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and got up to thank him.

At this time, Li Shen came to Honglin's side with a sweat on his head, leaned over and said, "Long live the lord?" How did you get here? The slave failed to take over, and asked for forgiveness. ”

Honglin smiled: "It's okay, Li Shen, you have worked hard for me during this time, and you have lost weight." ”

Li Shen was flattered: "A slave can do things for the Lord of Long Live, that is the blessing of a slave, what is all this suffering?" ”

Honglin nodded: "I can rest assured that you are doing things, I came here today to check the progress of the project, and second,

Yin Zhao Guochang of Jiangnan Prefecture came to report, saying that the Jiangnan river embankment was worried about collapsing, and it was urgent for the imperial court to allocate 3 million taels to build the river embankment.

This river fortification is related to the society of the country, what do you think of this matter? ”

Li Shen replied: "Please rest assured, the slave will definitely allocate the river work funds in the shortest possible time." ”

When Honglin heard this, he chuckled: "A few million taels of silver is not a small amount, and I don't know how many officials will be blushing when it is transported to Jiangnan like this.

In case someone fills their pockets and delays the construction period, it will only be the people of Jiangnan who suffer. ”

Li Shen said: "Then according to the meaning of Long Live Lord?" ”

Honglin said: "Thinking about it, I haven't toured the south for almost five years, and I plan to go to Jiangnan to see if the embankment needs to be built as Zhao Guochang said.

Also, someone reported that Hong Qi was corrupt and perverted the law, and I also want to check it myself, what do you think? ”

Li Shen's head suddenly became bigger, this old emperor's feelings are going to tour south again? How much money does it cost?
