kingly way

Chapter 144 Chapter 144

Early the next morning, Liu Haoyi sent someone to summon Ying Luo into the palace;

"Did Mr. Ying have a good rest last night? I have benefited a lot from reminiscing about the conversation I had with my husband yesterday, so I invited him over early in the morning to chat again."

Liu Haoyi waited for Ying Luo to go through the meeting ceremony and said directly;
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Wang Shangxiong is a great talent, and good ministers are all over the court. How dare the grassroots compare with them. They can only spend their money in front of the King."

After hearing this, Ying Luo was relieved and felt that Liu Haoyi was a king with lofty ideals.

"To become a hegemon in troubled times, not only must foresight and foresight is required, but also the country is rich and the people are strong, the soldiers are strong and the generals are good. Does Mr. Ying have a good strategy for this?" Liu Haoyi asked;

"The society is progressing, and the system will be gradually improved. Some old systems are gradually not suitable for the development of the society. If the system does not adapt to the development of the society, it will inevitably hinder the development of a country, so we must change some systems for our development." Ying Luo said.

"Oh, Mr. Ying, please tell me how to change the system."

After listening to Ying Luo's words, Liu Haoyi thought it made sense and nodded;
"The system is all about safeguarding interests. To abolish some old systems will inevitably violate the interests of some big bureaucrats, big landlords, and noble clans. It will be difficult to get support, and it will attract strong opposition from conservative bureaucrats, big landlords, and clan nobles , the new system will be abolished. It depends on whether the king has this determination." Ying Luo said;
"If the country is to be rich and the people strong, the soldiers strong and the generals good, system reforms must be carried out. I am full of confidence and expectations in this regard. It depends on what you have to say." Liu Haoyi said;

"Strengthen the construction of the law and amend the law; restrict the power of the powerful, which is conducive to the stability of the king's regime; appoint people on their own merits, recruit talents, and only award officials and titles to meritorious and capable people. Only in this way can new Talented people, people can be used by the king, and will not be buried; reward loyalty and advice, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined, which is the guarantee for accepting good advice and good policies; economically implement farmland, actively develop agricultural production, accumulate wealth, and prevent famine; reform The tax system, pay taxes according to the order of the field." Ying Luo said;
"Sir, what you said really violated the interests of some big bureaucrats, big landlords, and clan dignitaries. Do you have any good strategies for the army?"

Liu Haoyi nodded while listening;
"The military eliminated old and weak soldiers, selected elite soldiers, and expanded the army. The old and weak soldiers not only have no fighting ability but also increase the burden of raising soldiers. We must actively develop agricultural production. Farmers are the main productive force. Let the old and weak soldiers return to their homeland. Carry out agricultural production, which can not only reduce the burden of raising soldiers, but also increase agricultural productivity; only when the production volume increases can more people be fed, and farmers will consider raising children on the basis of conditions, and they can Improve the source of soldiers, and more elite soldiers will improve their combat literacy." Ying Luo said;
"Well, this reform is good. It can not only develop productivity but also ensure the supply of troops."

Liu Haoyi nodded again;

"But this is not enough. We must formulate a complete reward system. As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. It is an honor for one person to serve as a soldier and the whole family. Enemies will be rewarded with certain levels, as long as everyone actively participates in the battle, they will be able to continuously occupy more land, and then distribute the land to soldiers as rewards." Ying Luo said;
"There is a law for the widow. During the military service, the family members can reward the land and reduce taxes." Liu Haoyi said;

"Although your majesty can stimulate the combat effectiveness of the soldiers better, it is difficult to implement in the long run, because part of the military expenditure comes from taxes. In order to ensure the abundance of the national treasury, the villain still thinks it is better to reduce taxes. However, those who serve in the military , in addition to rewarding land, you can also receive a sum of appeasement money, and those who have made many meritorious deeds on the battlefield can arrange work according to the degree of merit."

Ying Luo knew that the king was very concerned about saving face, so he bowed to Liu Haoyi as he spoke, expressing that he was just a suggestion;

"Well, I feel that Mr.'s words are reasonable, so I will do what you want." Liu Haoyi said with a smile;
Seeing that Liu Haoyi wasn't angry at all, Ying Luo couldn't help secretly admiring Liu Haoyi.

……

The viewing platform of the Nanyue National Coaching Field,
Liu Haoyi, Ying Luo, Sikong Qi Zaiqing, Shangqing Shi Ji Jian, Yaqing Shi Luyi and other South Vietnamese monarchs and ministers;

"Haha... Our army, the generals and soldiers are united and vigorous. I believe that in the near future, we will be able to expand our territory and become famous in Kyushu."

Liu Haoyi laughed while pointing at the troops practicing under the stage;

"Your Majesty, the military discipline and style of the Nanyue Kingdom are not many in the Kyushu mainland that can compare with our South Vietnam, but we still need to work hard and not be arrogant. The birds that move forward will eventually attract people to shoot and kill. The tip of the cone outside China will definitely be blunted; once we reveal the strength of our military, other countries will be jealous, easily isolated, and even plotted against. If we do a good job in interpersonal relationship, we can make a big splash when we wait for the right time." Ying Luo bowed to Liu Haoyi;

"Well, Mr. Ying is right. Since the implementation of the new military service policy, more and more people in Yangzhou have volunteered to serve in the military, and our army has become more and more elite. These Mr. Ouyang have contributed a lot. Haha..." Liu Haoyi haha with a smile;

"These are the king's wise decisions, how dare a humble minister take credit for them." Ying Luo bowed;

Liu Haoyi turned his head to look at Ying Luo, and nodded approvingly;
"Your Majesty, I have another suggestion." Ying Luo said;
"Young master Ying has any suggestions, just let me know." Liu Haoyi said with a slight smile;
"Your Majesty has always cared about people's livelihood. The farmers have enough food and clothing, but to increase farmers' income and make the country stronger, further efforts are needed," Ying Luo said;
"Listening to Mr. Ying, does Mr. Ying have a better way to increase farmers' income?" Liu Haoyi asked;

"Weichen came all the way and saw that many reservoirs and pools are used to store water resources by means of containment. Excessive containment is a taboo for water storage. If there is too much water, the bank will collapse, and the bank collapse will cause disaster. The disaster country not only Disaster relief is needed without taxes, and some reservoirs and pools are not far away from fertile wasteland, wasting a piece of land resources." Ying Luo said;
"That's right, during the rainy season, floods will occur in many areas because of this problem. Mr. Ying, please tell me how to solve this problem." Sikong Qi Zaiqing asked;

"Diverting water to reclaim wasteland." Ying Luo said;
"Diverting water to reclaim wasteland?" Sikong Qi Zaiqing asked;

"Well, it is to reclaim those wastelands and divert the water in the reservoir to the wastelands for irrigation. This can not only divert the water but also reclaim the wasteland." Ying Luo said;
"Yeah, ok... that's a great idea, to direct the flow of water and increase farmers' income."

Liu Haoyi repeatedly applauded.

"I used to have a headache to manage these waters, but now I don't need to worry about it anymore." Sikong Qi Zaiqing said;

"Your Majesty can take tax cuts or two-year tax exemptions to encourage enthusiasm for reclaiming wasteland." Ying Luo said;
"Well, this policy can be formulated and implemented." Liu Haoyi said;

"When farmers are rich, young people have the obligation to defend the rich family, which is beneficial to the collection of military taxes." Ying Luo said with a smile;

Liu Haoyi looked at the well-trained and majestic soldiers in the audience, with a satisfied smile on his face; he was very satisfied with getting such a talent as Yingluo;
He seemed to see that he led this group of well-trained and strong generals to gallop on the battlefield, fighting the enemy bravely, and the enemy army fell under their iron hooves one after another.
He seemed to see that he unified Kyushu and established a unified Kyushu Empire, and all the officials knelt down at his feet and shouted long live;

"Ha ha……"

After thinking about it, he suddenly waved his hand and laughed happily...
