Accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, the team continued its journey and entered Chang'an.
Today is the day when Xiao Yuan personally conquers the ghost clan and returns to the court with his master. The entire Chang'an City has witnessed an unprecedented grand occasion.
This is Kyoto after all, and the population is not as prosperous as the counties. The people's emotions are high, and the enthusiasm has even caused a lot of crowding and riots.
If Ye Cheng hadn't been in charge personally and there were officers and soldiers everywhere maintaining order, there would have been a lot of chaos in Chang'an.
There was a lot of people outside, and all I could hear were the people shouting, "Long Live the Great Qin, Long Live Your Majesty, Mighty Qin Army" and so on.
The scale of this boiling scene was far beyond that of previous counties and cities in Anyang. Xiao Yuan opened the curtains and took a casual look. He saw a sea of people, and people of all colors were waving their arms and shouting.
He couldn't help but say: "Is there anyone organizing it?"
"The imperial court does not have any organization." Lu Yunyan said beside him: "Brother Wang, this is what the people of the world want. People all over the country are celebrating Brother Wang's triumph."
Xiao Yuan nodded and lowered the curtains.
Subconsciously glanced at the girls.
Gu Xuezheng and Zhong Duoduo were talking about something, covering their mouths from time to time.
Mu Lianying was still cold and cold, but her beautiful eyes would always glance at Xiao Yuan when she moved slightly.
Huang Yunwei and Yun Yuerong are honest.
Tsk, Lu Yunyan's harem is managed so well, it's a stable group.
Otherwise, with Zhao Qingman's charming personality, I'm afraid she would have pounced on her and been tired of being entangled in her arms by now.
In front of the main palace, I really don’t dare to make mistakes.
All the way back to the palace, Xiao Yuang had just reunited with his wives. Before his buttocks were hot, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wants to see you."
"I know." Xiao Yuan had no choice but to smile bitterly at the girls and said, "Don't forget to have dinner together tonight."
With that said, he stood up and left here.
The man he loved had just come back, and before they had time to get intimate, Zhao Qingman said with a resentful look on his face: "It's true, Mr. Liu, your majesty went on an expedition so hard, and you've just returned to the capital!"
"Okay." Lu Yunyan said: "Your Majesty has been away from the capital for nearly a year. The Prime Minister must have many important matters to discuss."
"Yes." Zhao Qingman responded in a low voice.
Palace study.
When Xiao Yuan arrived, Liu Yuzhi had been waiting outside the hall for a while.
"Your Majesty." Seeing him, the latter naturally bowed down.
"No need to be polite, Prime Minister. Let's talk in the study." Xiao Yuan stepped in.
After entering, Xiao Yuan sat down, while Liu Yuzhi continued to take out official documents from the sleeves of his official uniform.
Xiao Yuan hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, can you take it all out at once? I'm really worried. You have an inexhaustible supply of official documents in your sleeves."
"Your Majesty is joking." Liu Yuzhi smiled dryly and followed his words. There were several books in total and they were placed respectfully on the table.
Xiao Yuan picked up the first letter, unfolded it and read it carefully, and at the same time said: "Prime Minister, please don't stand. Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Yuzhi sat down next to him.
Not long after, the guard also brought tea.
The content of this official document is related to the summary after currency unification and matters related to national coinage.
While Xiao Yuan was watching, Liu Yuzhi said below: "From the beginning of the first year to now, the national currency has been completely unified, and the old coins of all countries have been recycled and recast."
"In transactions such as commerce, life, and goods, people in local counties, villages, and even remote mountain valleys only use new coins."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded while listening: "In the issuance of national currency, we must ensure the value of copper coins and the exchange rate of silver."
"Yes, I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry." Liu Yuzhi said.
Xiao Yuan then opened the second letter, which was a summary of official documents related to people's livelihood. The content mainly included the re-cultivation of barren acres in various places after the war in the Central Plains subsided and from the reunification of mountains and rivers to the present.
Liu Yuzhi also reported: "Since the beginning of the first year of the lunar calendar, under His Majesty's decree, the country has been implementing policies that benefit the people, allowing people who have been displaced on a large scale to return to their homes and reclaim wasteland for farming."
"Your Majesty, thanks to your Majesty's power, the past two years have been good, especially this year's autumn harvest. Grain production in various places has increased explosively. The land is prosperous, and various war-torn places have regained their vitality."
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan was undoubtedly excited when he saw and heard this. As long as he is a wise king and a good emperor, he will not be unhappy with this kind of news.
He said: "Those counties and counties that have suffered from the war and have reopened their abandoned fields for cultivation, the three-year tax exemption policy will remain unchanged. What I want to do is not that the people in the world can have enough to eat, but that every household can have enough food and clothing. It’s warm and every household has a surplus of food!”
When Liu Yuzhi heard this, he was shocked and saluted seriously: "Your Majesty, the prosperous age of the Qin Dynasty is not far away!"
"This still requires the Prime Minister to work hard." Xiao Yuandao.
"I can assist His Majesty and make the world clear, I will die without regrets!"
"Prime Minister, don't talk about death." Xiao Yuan calmed down and realized that Liu Yuzhi was already a little old. He was an old man who cared about the country and the people. At his age, he shouldn't be in this state.
"Yes." Liu Yuzhi responded, feeling warm in his heart. In his heart, he would have no regrets in his life if he could meet Xiao Yuan.
After the monarch and his ministers looked at each other, Xiao Yuan continued to open the third official document.
This is a summary of government affairs related to construction.
The content includes reservoir irrigation conditions, bridges, highways, and post stations in some places.
Liu Yuzhi reported again: "The countries have been at war for a long time. Although your Majesty has swept away the world and clarified the world, many places are devastated by the war and are in need of reconstruction. Fortunately, the whole country is now united and, after more than a year, will be restored." Water was diverted from dried up reservoirs in suffering areas, destroyed bridges were rebuilt, and road stations in counties and townships were set up.”
Don't think that this is a major construction project. In fact, it is not, but something must be done.
Just like water, without it, there will be no harvest from farmland.
Without roads, there would be no transportation and commerce.
Without the post station, the delivery of letters would not be possible.
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan nodded again and said sincerely: "Although the Ministry of Industry has spent a lot of money in the past two years, all the real money has been used on the blade. Zhang Jingrui's hard work has made great achievements."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Yuzhi agreed: "In addition, there is also Jiyang. Since Your Majesty recovered Dongyi, the development there has almost reached that of other ordinary counties. Business exchanges are more prosperous, and local people I got rid of my previous status as a slave and now have my own land. I am all singing praises to the Qin Dynasty and Your Majesty."
"Zhang Shanping deserves a commendation." Xiao Yuan said, and suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, what happened to the new top scholar in our first year of Wude?"
"Your Majesty, are you talking about Wang Yuanju?" Liu Yuzhi paused and said, "In my opinion, this son has considerable political talents and may be entrusted with important responsibilities."
Xiao Yuan thought about it and shook his head slightly: "It's only been more than a year. Forget it, let him hone his position as county magistrate for some more time."
