City of King Yu.
In the past two days, King Yu's city was obviously much more lively than before. After the siege in Mobei, many people from Jiangbei settled here.
With the continuous expansion of King Yu's City, the capital expanded several miles in all directions on the original basis, completely covering the original City of King Yu.
Now it is subdivided into the four side cities of southeast, northwest and northwest, the inner city and the palace city!
The economic center of the entire imperial capital is still between the original cities and towns, and the external expansion is rumored to be personally planned by His Highness King Yong at that time to create an integrated capital city for convenience that integrates housing, catering, entertainment, markets, etc.
"Your Highness, according to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the population in King Yu City has increased by nearly 300,000 compared to a year ago. The expansion of the four major border cities has gradually entered the final stage."
"Many people have gathered in villages near the capital. What's the next step?"
Shen Li, Fang Xuanling, and Xie Xingxian, Minister of Industry, personally came to Ning Fan to report on the progress of the capital's expansion!
"Um!"
"Now that the expansion of the four major border towns has been completed, the natural next step is to introduce a settlement policy."
"After the household registration management system of Dayu was reformed, many illegal households were included in the household registration. Now, most of the outsiders making a living in King Yu's city are refugees from Jiangbei!"
"Mr. Shen, from now on, we will start formulating the settlement policy for King Yu City."
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions!"
"This is simple!"
Ning Fan smiled, thought for a moment and said, "Now, with the military reform of my Dayu coming to an end, nearly 300,000 veterans will retire on the four borders!"
"The first is the free settlement policy for veterans. All veterans who retire from our border army and have served for five years can be assigned a house for free. If they have a family, they can also be brought back to the capital to settle down. "
"The second is that workers who work for relief can, after working for one year, purchase houses in the four major border towns from the imperial court. After purchasing the houses, they can also settle down!"
"Third, even traveling merchants who pay more than 10,000 taels to the court every year can also apply to obtain household registration in the capital."
"Fourth, people who originally belonged to the capital can buy real estate in the four major border towns and settle in the capital!"
After hearing Ning Fan's introduction, Shen Li and Fang Xuanling were dumbfounded, and Xie Xingxian on the side couldn't help but glance at Ning Fan.
I really wonder how your highness has such a brain. The first policy wins the hearts of the frontier soldiers all over the world, the second policy inspires thousands of workers, and the third policy directly generates revenue for the court!
As for the fourth item, it can also quickly sell real estate in border towns and gather the surrounding population, allowing the four major border towns to achieve rapid prosperity.
It's simply a feat!
"Your Highness, now that the war in the north has resumed, do we still need to disarm as planned?"
"Um!"
Ning Fan nodded without hesitation and said in a serious tone: "Now, half of the four frontier armies are veterans over fifty years old. I, the Great Yu, have not yet reached the point of subjugating the country and exterminating the clan, so there is no need for a white-haired old man to go into battle. !”
"Leave the future world to young people!"
"Mr. Shen, after you return, immediately draft an official document and spread it throughout the country. The last step of military reform must be completed."
"Veteran soldiers who have withdrawn from the border army can settle in the capital, and the court will allocate fields to them, and they will automatically be converted into reserve forces. They may wait for recruitment by the court at any time!"
"yes!"
After Shen Li wrote down everything Ning Fan said, he also resigned and left.
…
Today is an important day.
The civil and military officials in the DPRK were tidying up their official uniforms with solemn expressions and quietly waiting for the start of the DPRK!
"Your Majesty is here!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"My dear friends, no courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the civil and military officials stood in awe with their hands folded, their eyes solemn and their bodies straight.
Wei Ying took a step forward and shouted, "In the Kingdom of Yu, Emperor Yu Shun has conferred the title of Crown Prince. The ceremony begins!"
"kneel--"
Following Wei Ying's long shout, everyone from Ning Fan to the princes, relatives, civil and military officials all knelt in front of the palace.
"The second son of the emperor, Ning Fan!"
"My son is here!"
Ning Fan stood up, took three steps forward, and then knelt down.
"It is destined to be carried by heaven, the emperor decreed."
"The importance of the crown prince is the foundation of the country. The sages and sages established the crown prince to consolidate the country and the country, and to stabilize the hearts of the world!"
"Since I came to the throne, I have done everything personally. I have been responsible for all important military and state affairs. I have been very careful in hiring and administration. I don't dare to rest until I am tired of my hard work!"
After hearing the first two sentences of Emperor Yu's imperial edict, the expressions of the ministers were also very wonderful. They were doing everything personally? Not tired of working yet?
Your Majesty, you have really worked hard these past two months!
"The time is just the norm, my ancestors have surpassed me, I can't think of the heavenly fortune, I have died in the house for nine years, I will live for hundreds of millions of years, and I will give it to one person!"
"Ning Fan, the second son of the emperor, has worked conscientiously and diligently since he took charge of the country. His territory has been vast, his public opinion has been expressed, and all the people's hopes have been fulfilled. He has been canonized as the crown prince!"
"Yu founded the country based on the virtuous and meritorious. His second son, Fan, conquered the southern barbarians, quelled the rebellion, punished the sycophants, defeated the aristocratic clans, installed brocade clothes, promoted people's livelihood, engaged in farming, gathered talents, and his talents were widely circulated!"
"You should think about the difficulty of the king's way, follow the sage's sharp precepts, diligently cultivate the six virtues, and strive to do the three good deeds."
"There is no way to act illegally, forget to be respectful and frugal, and love arrogance and extravagance; there is no way to behave well, be loyal and good at a distance, and be evil and sycophant at a distance."
“One cannot achieve fame without practicing the right way, and one cannot achieve virtue without appointing virtuous people.”
"If you are a good person, the country will be safe; if you are an evil person, the world will be in danger. Live in harmony with the nine tribes and be courteous to the common people, cherish all the nations and worry about your descendants. Work conscientiously, without slackness or waste, remember your ancestors, and bring peace to our clan. , be careful!"
"From now on, I would like to declare this to heaven and earth, the country, and the ancestral temple!"
"My son, thank you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"play music!"
With Wei Ying's loud shout, the sound spread from inside the main hall to outside the Meridian Gate. The music officials of the Ministry of Rites who had been waiting for a long time played their flutes in unison, and the sound spread throughout the capital!
All of a sudden, the people in Beijing also hung up red silk lanterns and lit longevity lanterns. The streets were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the people were beaming with joy.
"Hahaha, the appointment of the state governor today is really what everyone expected!"
"His Royal Highness King Yong, you have done so much for me, Dayu, and for my people."
"It belongs to destiny!"
All the people gathered together in small groups, and Ning Fan, under the leadership of Emperor Yu, performed a ceremony to worship the heaven and earth. He first offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, then offered sacrificial food, and then went to the ancestral temple to worship.
The process was extremely cumbersome. At dusk, Ning Fan, wearing a crown prince's crown, seven-clawed black prince's robe, court beads, jade belt, jade ring, and identity jade charms, walked to the Zhengde Hall to accept the worship of hundreds of officials.
"My ministers, please see His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness is a thousand years old!"
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"From now on, when I enter the East Palace alone, all important matters in the court will be handled by Zhongshu Sheng with full authority!"
"There are Hun slaves invading the territory in the north. I want to lead my army to conquer them myself, put an end to the bandits and protect our country!"
