Chapter 302: After the Enthronement, Development and Hindrance

The first day of the seventh month.

Daji.

It has been ten days since the new emperor of Nanyue ascended the throne, and the lively ceremony has passed, and the streets and alleys are still very hotly discussed about the edict of the new emperor that "there is only the queen in the harem".

Originally, there were many people who felt that it was difficult for the newly established queen to keep the oath of the new emperor when the courtiers wanted to stuff people into the harem.

But the birth of Baicao Valley was born, and the royal families of various countries sent generous gifts to congratulate each other, so that the people would know.

It turns out that their queen is not only excellent in medicine, but also from an ancient family that is not born but strong enough to make all countries in the world courteous.

Everyone is still very enthusiastic about the affairs of the new emperor and the new queen, but what is more widely spread is the love story of the two who met in times of crisis and knew each other when they met at the peak.

As a result, the related novels and picture books in the market have become popular extracurricular reading materials for students of literature and martial arts.

After the enthronement ceremony, the first agricultural tax was ushered in.

After harvesting the rice, the people counted the harvest in the first half of the year and took the initiative to cooperate with the government to pay agricultural taxes.

Although the tax rate alone is far higher than in the past, there are no middlemen to make the difference, and the people of every household are crying with joy when they look at the grain piled up in the granary.

Then, in response to the government's call, the rice fields that were originally harvested once a year were replanted with crops such as soybeans or pigweed, applied farm fertilizer, and harvested again to expand income.

In addition to the common people, the powerful also made a lot of money.

A steady stream of grain was transported to the wine warehouse.

Although they did not collect the grain money from the wine storehouse of the official mansion, they could mortgage part of the wine money if they took the grain.

They only need to exchange grain for wine, and they don't need to pay other extra money, and after Zhenzhou Baigan sells it, the silver money can be returned and then calculated into the general ledger.

In this way, not only the powerful and wealthy gentry with a lot of grain can participate, but also some ordinary people with huge families can also raise funds, and take advantage of the autumn and winter when rice is not planted and the farmers are slack, and follow the caravan to the north and south to make some difference.

The model of mutual development of agriculture and commerce among the South Vietnamese people has multiplied the benefits from top to bottom at once.

The powerful businessmen and gentry watched the steady stream of property earned in their pockets, and they were naturally happy to cooperate with the various decrees issued by the imperial court, and there were many suitable for business.

The people count more and more money in their hands, and the family members have gone from not having enough food and clothes to get medicine, and now they can go to the hospital under the jurisdiction of the Tai Hospital to get medicine when they are sick.

When money is being made more and more, but the cost of basic survival is getting less and less, and prices are not inflating rapidly due to the flow of goods to various countries.

The lives of the people of South Vietnam have changed dramatically.

From barely surviving with food and clothing, to wanting to live in a better and larger house.

Because life is better, people have no worries about the near future, the level of food, clothing, education and medical care has all kept up, creating more children to earn more money, having more wealth and family labor, and strengthening the family to obtain more resources of the country, which has become the top priority for many people.

Only the land was cleared until four months after the harvest.

According to the statistics of Tai Hospital and its subordinate medical centers, the number of pregnant women in Jinling and Zhenzhou alone has surged by 50,000 on the basis of previous years.

And there is a continuous upward trend.

According to the calculation that the ancient conscription only conscripted families with many children, this surge of 50,000 pregnant women will increase the number of the next conscription by at least 10,000.

There are more children.

The original dilapidated thatched hut could not meet everyone's requirements.

In addition, with spare money in hand, many people began to expand their houses while planting beans and grass were easy to take care of.

Before everyone could cut down the wood, the government introduced a variety of new methods and building materials for building houses.

Houses with a mix of brick houses and stone and wood, due to their good stability and the fact that the building materials are managed by the government and the price is lower than that of solid wood, has suddenly swept the country.

The most important binder, lime, plays a huge role in this.

Many people who live in the mountains with loose hands buy a few bags of lime to learn how to glue, and mobilize the whole family to pick up or dig suitable stones to build a satisfactory stone house.

The government is exerting its strength again.

Specially help everyone to find craftsmen, find suitable stone and excavation sites.

After the excavation of the stones, the man-made pit left behind will be diverted into the stream to start raising fish and shrimp, enriching everyone's vegetable basket and adding several channels for business to circulate outward.

Relying on the trust in the government and the worship of the new emperor, the entire agricultural and commercial enterprises in South Vietnam entered a stage of virtuous circle development under the coordination and cooperation of the government.

It was not only the refugees of the Ngo country who poured into South Vietnam.

More displaced people and refugees from other war-torn countries or without household registration poured into South Vietnam.

With a large population and a small amount of land, the question of how to properly resettle the newly arrived nationals without degrading the living environment of the South Vietnamese themselves has become prominent.

"Don't panic, when I go to the capital of Western Chu to visit the enthronement ceremony of Qi Neng, and get the three counties of Wu back, the economic focus of the southeast can continue to expand to the west."

"Although South Vietnam is not vast and sparsely populated, but there are only a few important economic towns, and it is not possible for all the refugees to squeeze into the city, tell the county officials below to improve the competitiveness of grabbing people, so many labor and manpower do not publicize the advantages of the county town to grab it, I let them wait until next month to pay the commercial taxes, and take the money to repair the canals and expand the official roads, can the matter be done in time?"

They all want to rush to prosperous and prosperous places.

The result of urbanization is top-heavy.

Zhang Junlin wants to develop the economy and enhance national strength, and he has to roll it when it should be rolled, but there are some things that it really can't roll.

Otherwise, at this time, it will consume the people-oriented vitality of the next hundred years or even longer, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Shi Lei, who was promoted to the right prime minister at the enthronement ceremony, was memorizing every word he said at this time.

Now South Vietnam has not elected the left prime minister, and the right prime minister Shi Lei is the person who temporarily acts as the government minister after Zhang Jun's departure, in addition to the queen of the harem.

With the release of many new decrees, Shi Lei knew that the more ideas Zhang Junlin had in his mind, the more he admired the young man in front of him.

How did it seem that it was only doing small things, but in the end, many major events and problems in South Vietnam were sorted out and clearly understood in an instant?

After thinking for many days, Shi Lei realized a truth.

That is, there is no trivial matter in governing the country, and the country should take the people as the sky.

"Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be tougher, it is better to directly limit the number of people who are registered in Jinling, Zhenzhou and other cities, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the urban population."

"Good idea, but in this way, there are many people who go through the back door, and people will always have personal feelings to help each other in the world, even if I can stand the temptation, I may be defeated by the sophistication of human feelings, let's not use it to test the officials who have just taken office, directly adjust the farmland strategy, the farmland does not change with the number of people, only with the death consumption, those refugees come and find that they can only work without a place to stay, weigh the interests and know where to go."

No matter how well commerce developed in South Vietnam, it was still an era of agriculture.

There are indeed many opportunities for development in big cities, but for those who only want to be fed and clothed for the time being, and settle in Arida, it is a sandwich between making a windfall and ensuring that there is a land.

Most people still want stability.

"Pick a few more competitive counties to develop the economy, block one end and loosen the other, don't make so much trouble, and don't transfer the contradiction to the people's hostility to those in power, in the hearts of the people, the government that has lost its prestige is no different from the local ruffians and bullies."

"What we need to do is how to resettle them, how to maintain peace and stability for a long time, and take a long-term view, instead of enclosing them in South Vietnam to squeeze out their temporary labor and finally leave them without a foothold."
