Chapter 1341 Daqin is ready

The fifth year of Longwu was spent in a busy and busy construction period. At the beginning of the new year in the sixth year of Longwu, Xiao Ruxun immediately held the Great Court Meeting after the New Year holiday.

At the Great Court Meeting, ministers of various ministries announced the previous year's government work report and the current year's work arrangement in court. If there were any problems between them, they discussed them on the spot and handed them over to the emperor for judgment, and then began to work for the whole year.

This year is the last year of Xiao Ruxun's first five-year plan. While completing the previous five-year plan, he also has to prepare for next year's Northern Expedition and a new round of five-year plan.

Xiao Ruxun has already announced that Daqin's policy will be arranged in a five-year cycle, plan the five-year development process, and then make every effort to achieve it, and surpass it, and then plan the next cycle.

Such a cyclical system works well, which is very beneficial to the smooth implementation of national policies and political stability.

Right now, the political situation in Daqin is very stable, and the first five-year plan is coming to an end, and everyone can clearly see that the goals of the first five-year plan have been basically completed in the second half of the fourth year of Longwu.

Economic construction, land reform, construction of township government and village farmers' association, extermination of locusts and snails, construction of Dachi Road, reorganization of the Qin army, new students enrolled, sailing to Europe to open up trade routes, reducing the burden on farmers and increasing commercial tax revenue, expanding potatoes and corn Increase the planting area of ​​sweet potatoes, expand the number and scale of poultry stocks, and so on.

Xiao Ruxun manipulated the unprecedentedly large-scale central government and commanded the local government to complete this series of actions. Every aspect of the action was carried out in an orderly manner, and the construction was quite impressive.

But this year, the most important task is to prepare for the Northern Expedition. A lot of preparations have been made for the Northern Expedition, including the arrival of troops, simulation exercises, logistical support, surveying the terrain, and spying on intelligence. In short, everything is ready, except for an order from Xiao Ruxun.

The General Staff Headquarters has drawn up the entire strategy, and the most critical points have been determined, how to attack, how to annihilate, how to attack long distances, how to assign important grasslands to itself, and so on.

Even the imperial court prepared a set of strategies for recruiting herdsmen to settle on the grassland in the future.

Now everything is almost ready, only one order is missing.

And this order was within Xiao Ruxun's thought.Xiao Ruxun still wanted to build a stronger foundation, so he never gave an order for the army to fight. This battle is bound to be a battle that will destroy the country, so it must be fully prepared, and all kinds of plans must be prepared.

So he is judging from the content of the Great Court Conference whether the foundation of the country is solid and whether the material preparations are sufficient.

He was very satisfied and happy with the answers he got.

The conclusion is that Daqin is ready.

"The renovation of the Dachi Road is coming to an end in the northwest and Liaodong. The speed of transportation and marching through the Dachi Road has exceeded one-third of the original speed, and the time has been greatly enriched. In addition, we have also improved the entire operating mechanism. We are constantly improving, and the speed will increase faster in the future.”

Li Ruyu, Minister of the Ministry of Communications, who was separated from the Ministry of Industry, is in charge of the entire transportation construction arrangement of Daqin. In the past few years, he has also focused on the Northwest Dachi Road and Liaodong Dachi Road as the top priorities. The effect is still very good. Work Very powerful.

"Regarding the construction of Mongolian schools, North Zhili, Shandong, South Zhili, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Shaanxi have all been fully rolled out. Among them, the construction of elementary schools and intermediate schools in North Zhili and South Zhili has also begun. We plan to Within this year, the integrated construction from Mongolian to universities in North Zhili and South Zhili will be completed."

The Minister of Education is currently still in charge of Kong Shangxian, the patriarch of the Kong clan, and the actual person in charge is Zhu Hua and Chen Qing, the servants of the left and right. These two people spread the whole scene from south to north. The phonetic method to teach young children literacy.

The campaign to eradicate illiteracy has already begun, and Daqin's money has not been spent in vain. I believe that in Xiao Ruxun's lifetime, the initial effect of education popularization can be seen.

Then there is water conservancy construction. Regarding the management of the Yellow River and the water conservancy construction in various locust-stricken areas, the Ministry of Industry has made great efforts to control it.

Yang Yikui, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has not been in the capital for a few years, but always goes to other places to supervise construction, conduct research, and supervise the process of water conservancy construction in various places.

Xiao Ruxun compares water conservancy construction to the blood of a country, and is very concerned about it. It is also related to agricultural production and grain production. Every year, the imperial court sets hard targets for grain production. If Yang Yikui can't manage water conservancy, the Minister of Agriculture will fight with him .

Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture is more concerned about the water conservancy construction of the Ministry of Industry than Xiao Ruxun. This is related to the performance appraisal at the end of the year and their own promotion.

There have been no major natural disasters in the past few years. Generally speaking, the weather has been smooth. Where there have been disasters, water conservancy repairs have also helped a little. Coupled with the introduction of high-yielding crops, there has been no news of famine in various places. Basically, people can live comfortably. Can eat a full stomach.

As long as you can eat enough, there will be no noisy people, and the world will be stable. Everyone is thinking about living a good life, working hard, working hard, earning money, eating meat and wearing nice clothes. The atmosphere of the whole society Just fine.

Xiao Ruxun is very satisfied with such an atmosphere, so he has a good opinion of several major departments of the imperial court, thinking that they are doing a good job.

Then there is the final data of the survey and statistics of Daqin household registration by the Ministry of Household Affairs. This data was given at the beginning of the fourth year of Longwu. The current specific population of Daqin is about 3000 million.

When eliminating landlords, tyrants, and local tyrants, the local government of Daqin discovered a large number of hidden household registrations, and when they checked the escaped households in the mountains and forests, they discovered a group of escaped households who fled to the mountains.

The number of these two groups together is very large. Then, Xiao Ruxun liberated the household registrations of the degenerates and some non-residential households in the Zhejiang area. .

In this way, there are tens of millions more people.

In the end, Xiao Ruxun slashed at folk temples and Taoist temples.

Movements to exterminate Buddhism and restrict Taoism are not uncommon in history. The Chinese emperor cannot allow religion to compete with him for the taxpayer population and the right to speak. Several religious uprisings such as the Yellow Turban Uprising have also sounded the alarm for the Chinese emperor. Therefore, China has always There is no tradition of conflict between religion and imperial power.

The Ming Dynasty imposed relatively strict restrictions on Buddhism and Taoism. In the early Ming Dynasty, such restrictions were quite severe, limiting the number of temples and Taoist temples and the number of monks.

Because these guys don't do production, don't pay taxes, and own a lot of real estate, famine often occurs, and a large number of people invest in temples and Taoist temples, which makes their power surge in the local area.

Afterwards, the Ming government's control over the localities became weaker and weaker. Although there were few official certificates issued, there were a lot of illegal and private affairs in the localities.

Things started to deteriorate.
