Chapter 692: New Deal

Wang Meng is still a resolute character.

After entering Shangshutai, in less than half a month, 53 redundant officials and idle personnel of various ministries will be dismissed, and Zhu Cao will be removed, simplifying the steps of government affairs, so that there is basically no idle post in the court, and a group of middle- and lower-level cadres will be recommended to judge unjust prisons, report lawlessness, and clean up the backlog of government affairs in Shangshutai.

For a while, the people's feelings were shocked, the efficiency of governance was greatly increased, and the political atmosphere of Liang became more and more clear.

The sergeant clan and the local tyrants all clamped their tails and behaved in a low-key manner.

After the edict of tax reduction and exemption was issued, Wang Meng's reputation was greatly reversed.

The eyes of the masses were bright, and they gradually understood that Wang Meng's ruthless things were aimed at the nobles and foreigners, and he was quite lenient to the people.

The crown prince Li Jian also received a wave of popularity and was praised by the times.

The two cooperated with each other, and Li Yue didn't have to interfere at all, just glanced at major events and stamped the jade seal.

By the time of the autumn harvest, Guanzhong and Hebei had a bumper harvest, and the grain harvested was not only not less, but one percent more than last year, which was also an unexpected joy.

And Shuozhou Cui Hong seems to have been stimulated by some kind of intention, intent to compare with Wang Meng, this year's various livestock slaughter as high as 150,000, Shandan grassland to the west of the region horse and Mobei horse to breed a new breed of war horse, not afraid of the cold, extremely strong endurance, the consumption of intensive feeding is much lower than the traditional war horse.

The only shortcoming is that the explosiveness is slightly worse.

But it is more suitable for expeditions, which is exactly the type that is urgently needed in the army.

In addition, Cui Hong also repaired the Han Dynasty's surrendered cities, chicken song barriers, hot spring forts and other military fortresses, trained the town army, and blocked the southward march of the Daiguo rangers.

Cui Hong was quite restless in the court, and when he went to the place, he became down-to-earth.

Li Yue was naturally happy to see this kind of healthy competition, and also issued an edict praising Cui Hong's political achievements as the best in the world.

Cui Jin has also made great achievements in Liaodong.

The slaves captured by the pirate armies of Ma Gu and Lu Xun were first supplied to Liaodong.

A number of cities and forts stand on the land of Liaodong.

Although Cui Jinjun's political strategy is not as good as Wang Meng's, he is safe, never makes any mistakes, strictly implements various decrees of the imperial court, appeases the Liaodong tribes, appeases the Zhuyi, and promotes education.

A large amount of grain, grass, timber, furs, and dried fish were transported to the Central Plains.

In short, after Wang Meng entered Shangshutai, he swept away the sluggishness in the country, and the atmosphere was new.

Even Li Yue, who was busy comforting his concubines in the deep palace, felt different.

Li Jian followed Wang Meng wholeheartedly and became his subordinate.

Li Yue then freed his hands to rectify Taixue.

Subjects such as cold protection, porcelain making, tea making, grain production, new crops, population increase, animal husbandry, and new siege equipment were launched.

The previous era of unhurried and unhurried life is gone, Li Yue set a deadline, if it is completed, everyone will be rewarded, if it is not completed, those who should be dismissed will be dismissed, and those who should be demoted will be demoted.

In addition to the projects set, other breakthroughs in astronomy, hydrology, arithmetic, medicine, painting, poetry, forging, alchemy, etc., Li Yue also rewarded them heavily.

The Han Dynasty was strong, and the Chinese civilization also completed an upgrade.

During the more than 200 years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin dynasties, natural and man-made disasters continued, resulting in the decline of Chinese civilization.

Although it is not advisable to pull out the seedlings and encourage them to grow, this kind of positive atmosphere in which a hundred flowers are contending must be created.

The rise of China is not just a sword soldier, but an all-round rise of civilization.

Li Yue also ordered all states and counties to recommend talents, regardless of origin, as long as they have special talents, they will all be included in Taixue, and the imperial court will issue a fortune.

However, these initiatives take time, and they cannot be done in three or two days.

The implementation of various government decrees, the weather in the country is new, I don't know when, the people spread the "Hongxing New Deal" saying.

The political clarity and positivity of the imperial court quickly influenced the people.

The reduction of taxes has greatly increased the people's enthusiasm for farming.

There is no need for government encouragement, and it is in full swing everywhere.

In the past, every time the people were encouraged to open up the wasteland, the enthusiasm of the people was not high, a piece of barren land, the first year of reclamation, the second year of fertilizer, to the third year to become a mature field, three years of input to output, except for some powerful surnames, ordinary people do not have the energy and financial resources.

Now the fifteenth tax is one, everyone is enthusiastic, and they are busy in the fields in the morning.

Not only has the fertile land been reclaimed, but even some sloping and dry land has been cultivated to grow vegetables and mulberry hemp.

And this year broke out the biggest wave of baby boom since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the past, Li Yue felt that pacifying the Western Regions was even a wave of Liang's peak, but now it seems that the peak is far from coming, and the Hongxing New Deal has continued to be implemented for several years, and Liang will climb to another peak.

Of course, not everything goes so smoothly.

Cui Hong ran Shuozhou well, which made the Huns in Henan red.

The Xiongnu slaughtered the Hao chieftain Zhang Gang and gathered thousands of people, claiming to be Da Danyu, Tiefu and other subordinates, gathered more than 20,000 troops, repeatedly plundered Liang, Shuo and other prefectures, killed border people, and burned villages......

"I've always robbed others, but someone actually grabbed me!" Li Yue laughed instead of being angry.

In the past, I was busy dealing with Mobei and the Western Regions, and I almost forgot about Henan.

These people have been stable for four or five years, and now they are bold again.

"Henan is surrounded by Liang, Shuo, and Yong, and according to the minister's opinion, it is better to be flattened in one drum, or for the state and county, or for the pasture." Wang Meng didn't blink.

At this time, Henan was still a fertile land, with abundant water and grass.

Historically, Helian Bobo, the son of Liu Weichen of the Tiefu Department, rose here a few decades later, taking advantage of the internal strife among the generals of Liu Song and Guanzhong, captured Guanzhong, founded Great Xia, established ten thousand cities, and dominated one side.

These Huns and savages in Henan have repeatedly recruited them as servants, but if they don't come, let them help send troops to the Western Regions, and don't go.

Staying in Henan, Li Yue was already annoyed, he couldn't free his hands before, and he didn't have this opportunity, but now he took the initiative to jump out, just because Hongxing's new deal needed a large number of slaves and cattle and sheep.

This group of people has been raised for four or five years, and they are fat and oily.

"Who's the general?" Li Yue asked.

It is also a troublesome thing to be able to be like a cloud and a fierce general like rain.

Wang Meng said: "Huan Yi is the general, Murong Ling and Fu Shao are the auxiliaries, and 20,000 horsemen are enough to sweep it." ”

Li Yue nodded in agreement, "Hunting on the grassland can't be stopped, and the army is ordered to capture it this year, except for slaves, the others are all private by soldiers." ”

Tuoba Shiyi Jian made a fortune on the grassland, and it was time for the soldiers to make a windfall, which was Li Yue's reward for them.

Li Yue has always followed the principle of interests in the use of soldiers, and the personal interests of the soldiers are consistent with the interests of the state, so that they can be invincible.

"If this is the case, I am afraid that not a single slave will be captured, and Your Majesty may as well use slaves to judge military merits instead." Wang Meng's heart is still as careful as a hair.

Having traveled thousands of miles to bring back a slave with nothing, the soldiers of course preferred to plunder cattle, sheep and goods.

"Good."
