Wang Ke's more than 20 years of recuperation have led to a rapid increase in the population of Daqian, and the tax revenue has also reached a new high, and the whole world is thriving.

Because of the abundant grain for several consecutive years, Wang Ke took this opportunity to set up a standing liquidation system in Tianxia Prefecture and County.

The system requires a high level of execution, and he asked the officials of the prefectures and counties in the world to collect the grain in the hands of the people at a relatively low price during the good year. That is, the official set a minimum purchase price for grain.

In this way, to ensure that there will be no grain cheapness hurting the peasants, Wang Ke is very clear about the virtues of those nobles, officials, and heroes. If there is a bumper grain harvest, these people will immediately suppress the price of grain and let the people's grain be sold cheaply.

These people are basically local snakes, and the people can only go to the county seat to sell grain, and these people can easily monopolize the grain purchase in a county, so that you can only sell it to them at a low price.

As a result, there will be a bumper harvest of grain, but the people will continue to suffer. Although the expenses of ordinary people are not large, the grain and cloth are all self-produced, but salt and iron tools need to be purchased.

The existence of Changping is to provide a guarantee for these people and force those people to increase the price of grain purchases. At the same time, after purchasing a large amount of grain, Chang Ping will be used for reserves, which will not be used in normal times, and when there is a famine in the world, or the price of grain is high, the people will use Chang Ping to relieve the disaster.

Over the past few years, the cadres have not sent troops on a large scale, and they have accumulated a lot of money and grain. There is even Xiao He who said in a book that some grain that has been stored for too long has been damaged.

Wang Ke immediately ordered the local government treasury to send the old grain to Jinling and Luoyang to make wine.

Wang Ke encouraged the people to farm, reduce taxes, and let the mountains and forests go to the mountains and forests to cut wood and hunt, but he strictly controlled salt, iron and wine.

It's okay for the people to make their own wine and drink it themselves, but if they dare to take it out and sell it, they will be punished. Wang Ke monopolized the liquor in order to obtain money.

The profit of winemaking is very high, Wang Ke will naturally not miss it, there are many wineries in Daqian, which provide huge profits for the imperial court every year, and the money obtained by wine, salt and iron is not less than the regular tax, and at the same time, there will be a large amount of wine for sale in the northland market every year.

The imperial court has been able to support it over the years, and the monopoly of salt, iron and wine has accounted for a large reason. In fact, Wang Ke has done a lot of things over the years, and every year he has allocated a large amount of money and grain to support the Dian Kingdom, the Southern Fujian Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom.

Wang Ke broke his way of governing the country, crumpled it, taught it all to Wang Jing, and let Wang Ce guide him on the side, just to cultivate a successor in the shortest possible time.

For Wang Ce, Wang Ke also has arrangements, and he is ready to let Wang Ce take over the secret guard. The Dark Guard has always been one of the most important eyes and ears of the royal family.

Basically, every generation of secret guards is taken over by the younger brother of the head of the family, although Wang Ce's leg is broken, but he has assisted in state affairs for many years, and he is very familiar with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and it is very suitable to be in charge of the secret guard.

Wang Ke is different from his father, he is very cautious about military affairs, it can be said that there has been no big battle to fight for more than 20 years, and the lords and princes are a little helpless about this, after all, only when they fight can they have the opportunity to make contributions.

Of course, Wang Ke is not indifferent to military affairs, he promoted Han Xin back then, and now Han Xin is the general of Zhenbei and has been guarding the Great Wall, which is also a good general he prepared for his son.

In the twenty-sixth year of the Great Qiantian Blessing, the divine capital is Luoyang.

The world is peaceful, and the people everywhere are also living well, like a prosperous scene.

In the Qianyuan Palace, Wang Ke was chatting with the prime ministers on the left and right, making daily inquiries, but at this time, Wang Ke felt dizzy, and as soon as his body was weak, he was about to fall to the ground.

Wang Zhe, the minister next to him, changed his face greatly, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Wang Ke's body, and several ministers around him showed horror at the same time, Wang Jing hurriedly rushed up to support Wang Ke's body.

Wang Zhe said eagerly: "Hurry up and send the imperial doctor to come, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not leave here, and the chamberlain will immediately go to inform the royal princes and princes to come." ”

The ministers put Wang Keping on the bed together, and at this time the imperial doctor also hurried over, after some consultation, he said to Wang Zhe: "Your Majesty is fine, but in recent years, he has been in charge of government affairs and is overworked, so the ministers will prescribe some tonic medicine for His Majesty, and rest for a while." ”

Wang Zhe was very aware of the Imperial Doctor's rhetoric, and immediately asked others to take care of the Son of Heaven, and then pulled the Imperial Doctor aside and whispered, "How is Your Majesty's body?" This king forgives you no sin. ”

Only then did the imperial doctor tell the truth: "The oil is exhausted, and the lamp is dry, and there is no way to return to the sky!" ”

Wang Zhe waved his hand and asked the imperial doctor to go to the quiet room next to him to boil medicine, and then returned to Wang Ke's side again.

Soon the princes and princes of the royal family also rushed over, and when they saw Wang Ke's appearance, they wept one after another.

At this time, Wang Ke, who was in a coma, slowly woke up, and everyone next to him also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with your body?"

"Father, you must take care of your health!"

"Master, you have to take care of your health!"

Wang Ke grabbed Wang Jing's hand hard, and the ministers were also relieved to see the emperor wake up. With the support of the two, Wang Ke sat up and said with a smile: "Zhu Aiqing will go out first, I have something I want to say to the prince and the clan." ”

After several ministers bowed, they left the main hall and waited in the side hall.

"Father, you" Wang Jing's face changed, and he wanted to say something.

Wang Ke waved his hand and said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, who can avoid it?" I was in a coma just now and saw the ancestor of King Wen, and the ancestor asked me to wake up and arrange the future. ”

"Head of the house!"

"Okay, don't be a little girl!" Wang Ke continued: "Jing'er, from today on, you are the head of the Wang family, the son of heaven of Zhuxia, and the emperor of Daqian!" ”

"I know that you have great ambitions, Zhenbei General Han Xin is a rare general, with the ability of Sun Wu, you can use it, but you have to remember that although the country is warlike, it will perish, remember not to use military force, those county marquis, after you ascend the throne, you can let them come back as appropriate to assist the government."

"Be cautious in the affairs of the Western Regions, don't do it brutely!"

"Father, don't worry, the son must be cautious and never be brutal!" Wang Jing assured.

"Okay, as the children of the clan, remember to assist Jing'er well and prosper well!" Wang Ke said to everyone in the clan.

"Don't worry, the head of the family, we will obey the order!"

"Okay, I'm tired." As he spoke, Wang Ke's voice gradually lowered, and finally there was no more sound.

"Head of the house!" The crowd cried out in mourning.

Two cranes descended from the sky, and after a sad dance, they returned to the cave with Wang Ke's soul.

At the same time, outside the main hall, everyone cried, the Jingyang bell rang, and the entire god capital Luoyang was also saddened.

'The rule of heaven' refers to the prosperous era that appeared during the reign of Emperor Qianwen, which was also the first prosperous era after the Chinese civilization entered the feudal imperial society from the slave society of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Emperor Qianwen put an end to the heavy policy of conscription during the period of the first emperor of Qian, reduced the number of troops fighting, quelled the peasant uprisings caused by the first emperor, encouraged farming, popularized the system of continuous planting, opened the palace widely, set up county schools, and formulated relatively perfect rules for the selection of officials.

In addition, he made great efforts to make the country prosperous, advocated frugality, developed production, and carried out a series of reforms in various social fields, which played a positive role in weakening the local powerful forces and strengthening the centralization of power. Therefore, the whole country is peaceful, the number of households has increased greatly, the storage is abundant, the people have been able to recuperate, and the society has shown unprecedented prosperity.
