Chapter 664: Policy Toward Xi'an and Liyue (18)
Liu Yong is just quite worried about Xi's affairs in the past few days, and he doesn't want Lin Qingrou and others to know. I was so bored that I panicked, so I asked Chen Xiaochun to find Liu Wu'er. Of course, this is not what he pointed out, but Chen Xiaochun recommended it.
Liu Wu'er can't help but look beautiful, and the most important thing is that her temperament is the most lively among these dozens of people. Chen Xiaochun thought that this willow catkins would definitely bring joy to His Majesty.
In fact, Liu Yong was not unhappy, he was just a little anxious to know the outcome of the Xi'an incident. You know, make a tough policy to treat Xiyi. It's a bit risky. And Liu Yong, who is good at business, also knows that if the risk is big, the benefit will be great.
If this success is to succeed this time, it will be equivalent to shortening the time for the complete recovery of Xiyun by at least two years. If it were Huairou's policy, it would have been a miracle that two years would have been able to bring several powerful tribes of Xi'an into submission.
The reason why he is concerned about this is also because this decision was made by him personally. Victory or defeat is also about his majesty as the king of a country.
But he is still very calm, and although the benefits and risks coexist, he does not hesitate to win. The so-called concern is just the result of looking at your own choices too early. It's like buying a lottery ticket and watching the draw in a hurry.
The arrival of Liu Xu'er really calmed down his slightly impetuous emotions.
Early this morning, he had breakfast, reviewed the folds, and asked Liu Wu'er to accompany him to visit the imperial garden.
At present, in addition to the external security environment, the internal policies are also running very smoothly. This reassured Liu Yong. The so-called internal and external troubles are the beginning of the end of a dynasty. Although this is not absolute, it is the majority of cases.
Liu Yong will never allow this to happen. More than a year since the establishment of the dynasty, the whole weather has been booming. It's all about the good. For example, last autumn's bumper grain harvest was a good phenomenon. In addition, on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, it snowed heavily in almost all places in the Huahan Dynasty. As the saying goes, the snow is a good year. That's a good weather.
In the more than a year since Liu Yong's rule, although the overall policy has not been fully rolled out, the major policies have been established. These things can't be rushed, and they need to be taken slowly step by step.
In the past year, it has generally been regarded as a political and harmonious person.
What satisfies Liu Yong the most is the construction of the country's roads, and now that the national highways between the provinces have been basically completed, all that remains is to build a plump minutiae on these main roads.
In a year at most, a well-developed road network will cover the entire Huahan. And it's all asphalt. At that time, he will return to Meizhou City, and he will be able to shorten the time by at least half. On such a wide and flat road, the horse can gallop.
He thought again, with such a road, it would be perfect to have a car. At least he couldn't build a car. It's just a matter of thinking about it. However, with such a good road, it can drive the vitality of the economy. Anyway, Liu Yong knows that there is a dead child, that is, if you want to get rich, build roads first, have fewer children and grow more trees.
The last half of this sentence can be omitted. There were many trees in ancient times, so there was no need to plant them anymore. On the issue of having children, more children should be encouraged, and the current population is far from being compared to a few hundred years later.
Liu Yong didn't even have to think about family planning.
Although in order to build roads, Liu Yong has reduced or exempted the taxes of various provinces, and let his fellow men do it freely, and they must do it well and quickly. This also brings great enthusiasm to the provinces. At least financially, they are not worthy. This is one of the reasons why these roads are built so quickly.
Coupled with the unity of the government and the people, it is difficult to think about this speed. The common people all admired the new emperor of the Han people, and they also knew that the road was built for the good of the people. Naturally, there is also money to contribute, and there is a strong contribution.
Facts have proved that as long as the government and the people get along well, the various policies of the imperial court can be perfected.
Although Liu Yong's pockets are a little stretched, for the sake of future prosperity, this bit of gold and silver still has to be sprinkled.
Since Liu Yong took control of the imperial court, he really understood the importance of money to a country. If he hadn't had his previous savings and the gold mines in South Africa, this would not be the case now. If nothing else, the army alone is enough for him to drink a pot.
However, in the face of the Tatar slaves in Jiangbei, these armies had to be fed.
In the past, when he was prime minister, he was also troubled by the finances of the Dahua Dynasty, and during his tenure, he used almost all his strength to fight against this weak finance. There's almost no time to do anything else. And it's three years. It's barely enough to subdue the finances.
But just as he was preparing to develop the army of the Great Chinese Dynasty, he was poured cold water again. This is also one of the main reasons why he completely gave up saving the Dahua Dynasty.
There is a good saying, there is no greater mourning than death. When a person's heart dies, there is nothing left. And as the Great Chinese Dynasty, it has also lost one of the best development opportunities.
But this is what Liu Yong can do. Now that he has become the emperor himself, then he can show his strength, do whatever he wants, don't be afraid of pouring cold water, and no one will hinder you.
It's better to be an emperor.
In the past year, Liu Yong has been most concerned about the development of industry. Three steel mills around Cheonan Province have already started trial production. And some light industries, such as silk, porcelain, tea and other industries have returned to their normal form. Maritime trade began to resume in the second half of the year. Judging from the tax revenue of the city department this month alone, it has basically recovered one-third of its strength.
These are all positive signs.
When the steel is finished, it will be exported to make more profits. These are large commodities, and they also earn large quantities of gold and silver.
Liu Yong felt that it was time to set up a foreign ministry and let them negotiate these trades together with the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. Now Liu Yong just needs any department, so he will pay close attention to the selection of talents and start to establish. Because it was also the first time he had governed the country. And not according to the previous dynasty. So it's kind of crossing the river by feeling the stones.
But in any case, Liu Yong's reign for more than a year was successful. There is still a long, long way to go for him. But he is confident that he will accomplish his set goals.
At this time, he held the delicate catkins with one arm, but his eyes looked at the blue sky, and the morning sun was like a fire, bringing the warmth of spring.
His mood was very refreshed, like this gentle spring breeze, floating across the water and drifting into the distance. I want to talk about "Song Gui of the Financial Empire" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
