After the winter, Yecheng became more and more lively.

The news that Liang Guo was going to hold various grand events was released, and people from all over the world poured in.

There are scholars, merchants, and powerful chieftains from the north, as well as envoys from all sides who come uninvited.

Yecheng was the famous capital of the world during the Cao Wei period, gathering countless literati and scholars, leaving Jian'an romance.

When Shi Hu reigned, the power of the eastern part of the country was raised to build Yecheng, the Daxing palace room was in Ye, more than 40 people were viewed from the stage, more than 400,000 people were sent to serve in the army, the table was decorated with bricks, the first floor of a hundred steps, all the palace gates and pheasants were added to the pavilion, the layers were anti-Yu, the eaves were blowing the clouds, the picture was Danqing, and the color was light. When it is in its heyday, go to Ye sixty or seventy miles, look at the pavilion from afar, towering like a fairy residence, and flourish for a while.

It also moved to Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and Mobei Xiahu to settle around Yecheng, plus Fangtou, Hutou, Guangzong and other places, with a population of up to one million, and the palace maids captured by Shihu alone were as high as more than 100,000.

It is equivalent to raising the power of the pass and supporting Yecheng.

After the envoy of the Cheng Han Dynasty saw the prosperity of Yecheng, he was amazed, and Li Shi, the lord of the Cheng Han Dynasty, learned from him, levied hundreds of thousands of people, and built a large number of buildings in Shu.

The rise of the Liang State quickly took over the inheritance of Ran Wei, saving Yecheng from life and retaining some vitality.

After several years of development, Yecheng gradually showed the grandeur and domineering of the imperial capital of the world.

Although the palace is not as magnificent as that of the Zhao Dynasty, it has a little more vitality and popularity, and the pedestrians on the street are bustling and rubbing shoulders, and it is difficult to see the hunger and sorrow on the faces of the people.

Li Yue has reduced taxes one after another, and Liang has the lowest tax in the world.

But at the cost of a slightly slower accumulation.

"Ye Zhong lip tooth Ze, Lu, arm pointing Zhao, Luo, contact Heyang, with Yan Wei, it is a dangerous block, north control Hebei, south of the Central Plains, with tens of millions of people, from the east of the Guan, when the crown of Mu, can be the foundation of the world, with this to raise troops, swing the sword and west to the south, the world is not broken!" Wang Meng sighed with emotion.

Seeing that Yecheng was about to carry out major events, Li Yue took Wang Meng, Liu Ying, and Cui Hong to visit Yecheng.

"The solidity of the country is not in the city, but in the hearts of the people, if the people are not hungry and do not cover their bodies, no matter how prosperous Yecheng is, it will also collapse. Li Yue himself was leisurely, but he was busy with school affairs and guards who blended into the crowd.

Like a vigilant owl, staring at the crowd of people coming and going.

It doesn't matter if the accumulation is slower, as long as the people's hearts are stable, if today has entered the stage of competing for soft power, looking at the surrounding areas, Murong Ke, Murong Chui, Tuoba Shi Yijian, and Fu Jian will never dare to take the initiative to attack Kanto in the short term.

As for Huan Wen, if he made up his mind to "recover Shenzhou", Li Yue would indeed have to spend some energy.

It's a pity that Huan Wen is not such a person, if he had this thought, the world would have been a different scene a long time ago.

"What Your Majesty said is very true!" Wang Meng was in a good mood.

"I'm going to invite Tuoba Shi Yijian and Murong Chui to come to Yecheng to participate in the meeting, what about Jing Luo?" Li Yue had a whimsical idea.

Raising a dog is an art, and Murong Chui has already bowed his head, but Tuoba Shi Yijian is still unruly, and a little release of kindness can ease the relationship between the two sides.

Wang Meng's eyes lit up, "Brilliant plan!" This move can let the two see the prosperity of my beam! ”

Even if the two of them sent an envoy, the effect would be the same.

"Then it's decided." Liu Ying, who was behind Li Yuechong, gave a look.

Liu Ying bowed his hand, broke away from everyone, and went to handle it.

And Cui Hong on the side looked a little lonely.

However, after serving in the local area for more than a year, the person has become a lot calmer.

Li Yue pointed to the houses on the street, "Don't Jing Luo think that Yecheng is bad?" ”

Although there are many people coming and going, it is lively enough.

"Your Majesty means shops?" Wang Meng heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning.

In the past, the whole country was hovering on the verge of starvation, and it was a national policy to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and the territory was not large, so the whole country had to farm, but now the country is stable, and it is impossible to talk about it without commerce.

"Agriculture is the foundation, business is the bloodline, no business is not enough for blood transfusion, not enough to manage the people's livelihood, not enough to enrich the treasury."

Heavy agriculture is right, but there is no need to beat business to death with a stick.

Commerce is prosperous, and commercial taxes can be collected to enrich the national treasury.

The country without commerce will only be a pool of stagnant water, the reason why the Han Dynasty is strong, in fact, the business is extremely prosperous, after the establishment of the five-baht money system, from the fifth year of Emperor Wu Yuanjia to the beginning of Emperor Ping, more than 28 billion yuan!

Chang'an, Luoyang, Handan, Linzi, Wan, Chengdu, Panyu have become metropolises, Ji, Yangzhai, Shouchun, Jiangling, Wu and other places are thought to be commercial centers, and there are avenues connected between the metropolises, and the cars and horses are mixed, and they belong to each other.

The book left in the Yecheng treasury records the prosperity of Qilu: "The nine cities are opened, and the goods are not divided. No one can take care of it, and the car must not spin. Khotan city overflows, and there are hundreds of houses on the side.

After the Han Dynasty communicated with the Western Regions, the Silk Road was opened, and the Central Plains goods continued to flow westward, deepening the connection with the Western Regions.

Economic bondage, sometimes more effective than land occupation.

The trade route was not only for goods, but also for civilization, and it was more subtle to control the surrounding feudal states.

"Today's people are poor and the country is empty, and the capital of the fast enemy is only to look up to Jin'er!" When Zhuge Kong ruled Shu, he set up a brocade official, and the official camp of Shu brocade repaired the economic collapse of Shuzhong caused by Liu Beizhi's hundred coins.

Li Yue and Wang Meng walked one after the other, neither of them spoke.

But Li Yue believes that he can figure out the key, the rise of commerce can provide a way for people without land to survive, Wang Meng used to rely on the sale of dustpans to support his family.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly saw people shuttling in the laneway, which was very lively.

Li Yue and Wang Meng stopped to look, but saw that the alleyway was full of stalls, some selling mountain goods, some selling ready-to-wear clothes, and some selling cooked food.

Business is not something that can be banned if you want to.

Historically, the Ming Dynasty forbade the sea, but was the sea really banned? Isn't it monopolized by the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

Similarly, if commerce is banned, this piece of fat will either fall into the mouth of the noble clan or the Xungui group.

Money and power, after these people are rich and powerful, they will in turn kidnap the court!

Business is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no regulation, wanton expansion, and wild growth.

"Dayu water control, blocking is not as good as sparse, is the minister is stupid, the country was initially decided, internal and external troubles, the people are not enough food and clothing, so the minister proposed to ban businessmen, today is not the same as in the past, businessmen can prosper a hundred industries, is a move to benefit the country and the people." Wang Meng finally figured it out.

"Emphasis on agriculture and not on business, but it is still necessary to strengthen control, and the Department of Commerce can be set up to determine commercial taxes, set up commercial customs, and report illegal business affairs." Li Yue was in a good mood.

The good use of commerce is not only a good strategy for enriching the country and strengthening the army, but also a sharp weapon for attacking the enemy.

"This matter will be handled by the minister." Wang Meng smiled slyly.

Now he is still in the period of recuperation, and he is trying to take advantage of this matter to "get out" and do things.

"Then leave it to Jing Luo." Li Yue glanced at his face, the tonic prescription prescribed by Yueji had a good effect, Wang Meng had a good complexion, and he was also an idle person.

"In the future, my officials will rest for three days every ten days, and rest for one month at the end of the year, which is customized!"

Li Yue simply set the rules.
