Chapter 857 Another Bad Idea

Gao Yihuan didn't really mean to blame Wang Yifeng, because he knew that the reason for this situation was himself.

Wang Yifeng ran over in a hurry, and when Gao Yihuan said this, he thought that Gao Dawang was not satisfied with the place he managed, and he felt panicked, but after a few years he would find that it was worthwhile for him to come here .

Gao Yihuan knew a lot of things, so he was not very pleasing to the eye and dissatisfied with the current situation.

He is used to seeing rice fields in patches, connected water canals, and a network of national and provincial roads, connecting every piece of land in the country.

He knew that soil and water erosion in northern Shaanxi was serious and that excessive land reclamation was not an option. He understood that the structures of the cities were unreasonable, that the streets were muddy when it rained, the city was filthy and stinky, and there were swarms of flies.

After Gao Yihuan saw this, he naturally had an urge to reform, so he felt that he had a lot to do.

Therefore, when he saw that the land could not be irrigated, he wanted to build a well-developed water conservancy network, and when he saw that the roads were narrow and muddy, he wanted to repair official roads.

Now he is also preparing to restore the ecology of northern Shaanxi. He is also preparing to renovate cities such as Wangjing. He will build a developed sewage system in the city, and the streets need to be widened, and the streets are covered with bricks and stones.

Gao Yihuan is very motivated and wants to do everything. There are a lot of projects that will be lined up. In addition, in order to unify the world, the army of the vassal state is still expanding its recruitment, and the production of ordnance is also stepping up.

Gao Yihuan set up the council not because he really wanted to be lazy, but because he found that he had too many things to do.

But there is a limit to everything, too much is too late, obviously, Gao Yihuan is a little too hasty.

After talking with the people in Jingyang, Gao Yihuan returned to Wangjing, suppressed his eagerness, called the cabinet to discuss, and finally decided to cut off some things that were not urgent, so that the people could breathe.

Of course, it is impossible for Gao Yihuan to abandon all the previous resolutions. In fact, his major policies remain unchanged, and military expansion and preparations for war will continue as usual, or even be accelerated.

He cut down other projects, not only to restore people's strength, but also to ensure that key projects such as military expansion can be carried out.

Going too far is not enough, and it is also impossible not to do it. Large-scale construction should be done less now, so Gao Yihuan quickly shifted his energy to other directions.

Today, Wangjing of the Western Wei Dynasty has a population of nearly 50. Although it is not as good as Nanjing, it is already quite prosperous.

After the capital was moved to Xi'an in the Western Wei Dynasty, the city of Xi'an was re-planned, and a total of [-] squares were planned. Some of these squares were for residences, some were restaurants and inns, and they all had different functions.

In the city's trading market, there are east and west markets. The east market mainly sells goods from the Jiangnan and Western Wei countries, while the west market sells goods from the western regions, as well as cattle, sheep and horses from Mongolia and Uzbekistan.

At this time, Gao Yihuan, Li Yan, Chen Mingxia and others appeared in Dongshi. The market was full of people, and carts full of goods passed through the street. There were brick and stone shops on both sides, and various commodities were placed inside.

In the various shops in the market, various goods such as grain, mutton, cloth, porcelain, tea, etc. are placed. Many people surround each shop, and the sound of laughter, shouting, shouting, and bargaining makes the market very special lively.

Gao Yihuan and his party continued to walk forward and entered the market, where bulk commodities were traded.

At this time, in a square in the middle, more than a dozen carts full of cloth were parked at one place. A Wei official was standing in a cart surrounded by more than a dozen businessmen in brocade, among them There are two Hu merchants.

At this time, the officials of the State of Wei first read: "Songjiang's top-quality silk has a total of twelve carts, and the base price is three thousand silver dollars."

The merchants each took a piece of paper with the information of the goods written on it. After checking the goods, they began to bid.

"Three thousand three hundred silver dollars!"

"Three thousand five hundred silver dollars!"

"Four thousand silver dollars!"

The owner of the goods on the side looked at them nervously, chanting a number silently, and finally the whole batch of goods was taken by a Hu merchant for [-] silver dollars.

The official quickly gave a note to the owner and the Hu merchant, and the goods were driven aside. The next merchant drove in another batch of goods and handed a piece of paper to the small official.

At this time, Gao Yihuan couldn't help asking: "How many pieces of cotton cloth from Jiangnan were there last year, come to Dawei for sale."

Li Yan and others didn't know, but the officials in Dongshi should know, so he turned his head and gave an order. After a while, he saw a small official coming over. In Dongshi, 25 horses came. If you count the purchases of the feudal government for the manufacture of armor, and the transaction volume of other provinces, I think it should be close to 100 million horses."

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, and suddenly asked: "From this year onwards, can we add 50 horses every year?"

"Why is this?" Li Yan couldn't help asking: "The cloth in the south of the Yangtze River is of high quality and low price. It has had a great impact on the textile workshops of our Great Wei. If it weren't for the government procurement, most of them would have closed down. If we increase procurement, then our own The workshop can't go on!"

Gao Yi laughed and said, "Mr. Li has read a lot of poetry and books, but did he ever know the allusion that the country of Lu was destroyed by planting mulberries?"

Li Yan raised his brows, he naturally knew what was going on.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Duke Huan of Qi wanted to seek hegemony, but the Lu State and Liang State developed rapidly, posing a threat to the overlord Qi State.He wanted to fight but was afraid of breaking the neighboring country, hurting himself, and losing the buffer zone with Chu.

Duke Huan of Qi asked Guan Zhong, "Is there any way to settle these two countries?"

Guan Zhong said, "The people in Luliang are good at weaving silk. Please take the lead in wearing onyx clothes with the nobles, and call on the wealthy people in Qi to wear imported onyx clothes. And restrict domestic industry from producing. So Landlords in Luliang must give up farming and let farmers produce silk to make onyx clothes."

Duke Huan of Qi acted according to the plan. For a time, onyx clothes became popular all over the country, and the price of onyx in Qi State rose sharply.The state can intervene in the procurement, and the supply of Luxuan exceeds the demand, and the price soars.

Seeing that weaving onyx was profitable, the people of Lu State voluntarily gave up farming and started weaving onyx in droves.The people of the state of Lu were open to money, and Duke Zhuang of Lu was also greedy for taxation, so he let the whole country go all out to weave onyx and no longer grow food.As a result, there was a textile frenzy in the state of Lu where "every household's textile machine was ringing, and every household was busy weaving".

As a result, the originally fertile fields in the state of Lu were barren.

"Your Majesty's trick!" Chen Mingxia praised upon hearing it.

Gao Yihuan returned to Wang Jing for a few days and stayed in the palace. He thought he was going to stop, but unexpectedly he came up with a bad idea.

But Li Yan frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the country of Lu is a small country, but Nanming is a giant. It may not be effective to copy the example of the predecessors. Besides, it is easy to see through the allusions in Nanjing!"
