Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 39 New Year's New Deal
In the 42nd year of Wude, the fifth day of the first lunar month.

Gods.

While Qianyuan was busy destroying Qingfengzhai, the hot wine and soap he ordered to bring caused a whirlwind in the noble circle of Shendu.

Men love alcohol, women love beauty.

Do what you want.

Gods are ruthless. Qian Yuan has only been away for less than three months, and the circle has almost forgotten his existence. This time, because of the annual ceremony, he returned to the topic of the royal family.

Yan Wangfu.

Today happens to be the 30th birthday of the eighth prince, Yan Wang Qianyou. All the princes, as well as the princess who is waiting to be married, are invited to the Yan Wangfu for a small gathering.

Yuyu's Taoist law is prosperous, and what people pursue is longevity.

At the age of 30, he was just starting out as a monk, so King Yan naturally wouldn't make a fuss, but he took this as an opportunity to gather brothers and sisters together and connect with each other.

It's boring though.

As a well-known virtuous king, the king of Yan invited you, and the princes still showed face. Those who could come, almost all of them came, and it seemed like a royal party.

After lunch, everyone gathered in the palace garden to chat.

The princes and princesses who were not yet adults were having fun everywhere in the garden.The rules of the palace were strict, so it was a lot of fun to finally get out of the palace, but it scared the maids and eunuchs who were waiting for them.

In the garden pavilion, several adult princes gathered together to drink.

The third prince, Wei Wang Qiantai.

The fifth prince, King Ganke of Chu.

Ninth Prince, Qi Wang Qianshen.

They are clearly distinguished, and each is surrounded by a group of little brothers.

As the host, King Yan, seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, picked up a glass of blue and white spirits, and said with a smile: "Our fifteenth brother, we didn't feel anything in the gods before. You have come up with a lot of tricks." As he spoke, he drank the wine in his glass, "This wine is delicious!"

"Hey!"

The King of Chu gave a disdainful smile, "It's just a trick, and in my opinion, the fifteenth brother has really fallen."

"Degenerate?" There was a trace of ridicule on the corner of King Wei's mouth, "The fifth brother is the fifteenth brother you call degenerate. In just three months, he has brought all the wealthy families in Yize County into submission. If it were you, you could succeed. ?”

"Third brother made fun of it."

King Chu's eyes were a little cold.

Seeing the two kings competing in secret, only King Qi was drinking leisurely and watching with cold eyes.The other princes would not interrupt at will, and were happy to watch the fun from the sidelines.

The atmosphere was awkward.

"Drink, drink."

Yan Wang had to stand up again and make mud.

The topic about Qianyuan just passed by in a flash, and it didn't stir up any waves except for adding a little talk to the princes after dinner.

Compared with the intensifying battle for the heir apparent in the gods, a vassal king is really insignificant.

…………

Yize County, feudal prince's mansion.

Since Qian Yuan didn't know about the little episode that happened in Shendu, he had no time to pay attention.

Qian Yuan entrusted Zhou Qing with full responsibility for clearing Qingfeng Village. Currently, preliminary investigations and intelligence collection are underway. The city defense battalion has also been dismantled and is preparing to replace it with the recruit battalion stationed outside the city.

This is also an opportunity for the new barracks to practice.

The recruiting camp has never stopped, especially with the blessing of Xiangrui, it has now expanded to more than [-] people, and it is about to reach the size of a battalion.

This gave Qianyuan a little confidence in the upcoming war.

With the re-opening of the county government, Uncle Zhong, under the instruction of Qian Yuan, began to promulgate and implement a series of new policies. The three fires that the big guys had been looking forward to for the new officials to take office, did not start to burn until then.

The first fire was aimed at the local tycoons.

The edict of the feudal prince's mansion, led by the housekeeper Ge Minghui, re-measured and registered the acres of land in the county, and then paid taxes based on the new number of acres.

Relying on their connections, the noble gentry colluded with subordinate officials to falsely report the number of acres to evade taxes.

In the past, the county government did not raise agricultural taxes, and no one cared too much about it. After all, they collected more and received less, and they did not fall into their own pockets.However, since Qianyuan was a vassal, he had to pay more attention to taxation, which could be related to his pocketbook. Among other things, the food collected must at least be able to feed the army.

If the army has to buy food, it is really a big joke.

What's more interesting is that the responsible person designated by Qianyuan is Zhang Huairen's direct descendant, Ge Minghui.

If Ge Minghui dared to steal and play tricks in the re-measurement of the land, then Qianyuan would have reason to abolish it; and if Ge Minghui honestly carried out the order, he would offend a vote of gentry.

No matter what, Qian Yuan wins.

While announcing the new policy, the feudal prince's mansion also set an example. A large number of fields confiscated from the Li family before, except for Lingtian and a farm, all the remaining fields were distributed to farmers with no or little land.

Of course, taxes still have to be paid.

The second fire, Qianyuan burned in the field of education.

With the assistance of Uncle Zhong, Qianyuan formulated a two-year education plan for Yize County, and made a clear promise that within this year, the county government will fund the establishment of a junior school in each of the four towns of Xiaxia.

In addition to teaching elementary school, the junior school will also carry out other courses such as arithmetic and martial arts foundation. All school-age children can enroll for free.

Of course, board and lodging is at your own expense.

For families with difficulties, the county government will also issue student subsidies.

The purpose is to eliminate illiteracy for children and improve the overall education level of the people.

By doing this, Qian Yuan did not engage in idealism, but made early plans for future industrialization.The premise of industrialization is not only technology, but also talents in various fields.

Talents are not created out of thin air, nor can they be cultivated in one or two years.

To start with a doll.

Qian Yuan is going to exchange for a batch of primary school textbooks when he accumulates enough killing points next time, not to mention anything else, at least to promote "Primary School Mathematics".

Of course, this must first cultivate a group of teachers who can teach mathematics.

It could be said that only Qian Yuan played in person. Although he is a scumbag, he can still handle elementary school mathematics.

Not cowardly.

In the second year, that is, next year, an intermediate school will be built in the county, which is equivalent to a middle school on the earth, and will provide an opportunity for students who have graduated from the elementary school to continue their studies.

The reason why the timeline was extended to two years was not the lack of money, but the lack of teachers.

Moreover, such a big move needs to give the common people an adaptation process. Not everyone is willing to send their children to school, especially half-children, who are half of the family's labor.

This work was led by Wu Guangyao, the official of the ceremonial house, but he kicked Chen Jiaoyu away.

Qian Yuan is very vengeful.

When the intermediate school is built next year, there will be basically nothing to do with the county school. The subordinate officials in other places must choose from the county school, but under the Qianyuan rule, they are not used to it.

In the last fire, Qianyuan burned in the field of childbirth, not family planning, but to encourage childbearing, the more children the better.

The county government issued a circular stating that those who have land at home will be exempted from taxes for two years if they have three children, and three years of tax exemption if they have four children, and they will also be exempted from corvee labor for one year.

For those who have five or more children, in addition to enjoying the four-child reward, the county government will also give silver taels.

In short, the more you live, the higher the reward.

This is really an unprecedented policy in Yu Yutian.

Especially when the farmland is being invaded and the people are starting to go hungry, it is true that the palace went against the trend and encouraged births.
"Sliding the world is a joke!" Zhang Huairen commented.

Encouraging childbirth and popularizing education have the same purpose, which is to prepare for future industrialization. Therefore, the two policies will be implemented for a long time.

Ten years, 20 years, or even hundreds of years.

As soon as the three new policies of the feudal prince's mansion came out, whether it was support or opposition, the entire Yize County was turned upside down, and everyone was discussing it hotly.

Of course, most of them are not optimistic.
