On April 14th, Prince Liu Bian officially took the throne of emperor and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He respected Empress He as the queen mother, and Empress He would preside over the government because the new emperor was only [-] years old and was not yet able to independently preside over the government.

After Empress Dowager He came to the court, she announced amnesty for the world, changed the year to the first year of Guangxi, and made the nine-year-old prince Liu Xie the king of Bohai, and appointed the later general Yuan Kai as the Taifu, and jointly participated in the recording with the general He Jin Shang Shushi.

At this time, a few days had passed since the death of Emperor Ling. During the discussions of the courtiers, Emperor Ling's tomb had indeed been built in Xiyuan in the west of Luoyang City, and 10 people around Luoyang were mobilized day and night. rush to work.

However, to complete the construction of an emperor's mausoleum, even if there are hundreds of thousands of civilians, I am afraid it will take a month or two to complete it, but now it is the season for farming, so this time the land of Gyeonggi The young and middle-aged labor force in all counties and counties is almost exhausted.

After Liu Bian heard about this incident, he understood why the system gave him such a temporary task. It turned out that the main labor force in the counties and counties of Gyeonggi Province had been transferred, so the counties and counties around Luoyang might not be able to complete it smoothly this year. The farming is done.

However, not only for the sake of the people around Luoyang, but also for his own mission, Liu Bian knew that he had to prevent this from happening, otherwise the big man would lose more popular support.

However, this was decided by the officials of the court, and it was carried out in accordance with the practices of previous dynasties. Even if the people around Luoyang complained in their hearts, they would still obey the court's arrangement. old example.

"We must find a way to neither delay the construction of Emperor Ling's Mausoleum, nor delay the agricultural cultivation of the people in the counties and counties of Gyeonggi Province, but it is not easy to take care of both."

The night before Liu Bian's official enthronement, he called Xun Yu, Chen Gong, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others. Xi Zhicai was summoned by Liu Bian because he wanted to come back to participate in Liu Bian's enthronement ceremony and accept the award. came out.

The few people at present can be said to be Liu Bian's cronies. Even though Guo Jia has never expressed his support for Liu Bian, after returning from Runan last time, he often ran to the East Palace. To be polite, no matter what Liu Bian asked, he would think seriously about the answer. I am afraid that he has already regarded himself as Liu Bian's adviser in his subconscious.

"Everyone, I called you here today because I need your help to find a solution. It is the time of spring plowing, and there are still more than one million acres of land in the counties and counties around Luoyang City that need to be cultivated. However, in order to build the mausoleum for the late emperor, However, hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged laborers were forcibly transferred, which caused the counties and counties to fail to cultivate smoothly this year. This will be a huge loss for the people in the counties and counties around Luoyang. My idea is, is there any The method, neither delaying the construction of the mausoleum of the first emperor, nor delaying the agricultural production of the common people, can both be effectively taken care of?"

"It's really a blessing for all the people that the emperor can think about the common people. Since I came to Beijing, I have heard people from all over the world discussing this matter. The family is about to transfer a young and middle-aged labor force, which directly leads to the fact that there are not many young and middle-aged people in some villages. Although everyone thinks that building the mausoleum for the late emperor should also contribute, but thinking that this is the farming season, once you miss this period Time, this year's harvest will become a problem, so it's gloomy everywhere."

After listening to Liu Bian's words, Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said, although Liu Biancai officially ascended the throne tomorrow, all his subordinates have changed their titles and they all call him emperor.

Xi Zhicai only came back from Hongnong County in the past two days, so he knew a lot about the situation of the people outside. At this time, he said to Liu Bian with a solemn face, and felt admiration for Liu Bian's ability to think of these things.

"Yes, the emperor is about to ascend the throne as emperor, but we can't let the people have no harvest this year. In that case, although the people don't say anything on the surface, I'm afraid there will be complaints in their hearts. Although the people in the counties and counties of Gyeonggi are still relatively rich , but it is only compared to other places with more wars, if there is no harvest this year, they probably will not have food until next year, so what the emperor considers is very necessary." Xun Yu nodded nod.

"So, what should we do? It is really difficult to balance the two. After the young and middle-aged labor force in various counties and counties has been transferred, it is no longer possible to carry out normal farming and production. How can we successfully complete the farming task? If fewer civilians are dispatched, then the major event of building the mausoleum for the late emperor will be delayed, so the two aspects will easily fail to meet the requirements, so how can we take care of it?" Chen Gong analyzed while frowning.

"The current situation is that if we want the common people to be able to farm smoothly and the work of building the tomb to proceed smoothly, we must find a way to persuade the ministers of the court, otherwise, the court will not be able to pass. The common people are for their own lives. You can encourage them to speed up farming, or let them have a way to increase the speed of farming. To speed up the work of building the tomb of the first emperor, you can also find ways to increase the enthusiasm of the people. It's not high, and I don't work hard, so it will take a long time."

Although Guo Jia is the youngest of the four, he is not the least knowledgeable. After thinking for a while, he slowly analyzed to everyone, and his words pointed out the direction of thinking for everyone, that is to improve the farming skills of ordinary people. Enthusiasm, but also to improve the enthusiasm of civilian labor.

After Liu Bian heard this, his eyes lit up. He thought that when he left the capital twice to go to Yingchuan and Runan to suppress the bandits, he had also communicated with ordinary people from all over the place and visited their homes. , have learned about their farming situation.

The common people in this era all use artificial farming methods when farming. For example, when cultivating the land, they use human power to cultivate the land. Two people pull it in front and one person holds the farm tool in the back. The land that an individual can cultivate is less than five mu.

Liu Bian had long been thinking about when to improve the farming methods of the common people, but because things were busy after returning to the capital, he temporarily put it aside, but when he heard Guo Jia mentioning it, he immediately thought of improving the farming methods. .
