Chapter 129
"Hahaha, Wenren Shangshu said it well, General, our plan." Xu Boju pointed at Zhang Qing and said.
"Yes, the king."
"The king of the king has already thought of this suggestion from Wenren Shangshu. Next, we will match soldiers from different military branches of the Han Dynasty with different military branches, military caps, military uniforms, military trousers, and military shoes. At the same time, a distinctive logo is made on the shoulders of each soldier and general. At that time, the ranks and logos correspond one by one, and you can see the level of everyone's military rank at a glance." Zhang Qing said.
"So that's the case. The king is really planning to do it, and I admire him."
"Okay, that's it. After the general returns, he will immediately prepare. In a month, the new military rank system will be officially implemented, and the entire army will be informed. There is also the Nangong Shangshu of the Logistics Department. You have to take out the style of military uniforms of each army in addition to the militia within half a year, and at the same time complete the entire assembly. Can you do it?" Xu Boju asked Nangongcheng.
"Please rest assured, Lord, I am confident to complete this task." Nangongcheng did not refuse.
The Han Dynasty was very rich, and the logistics department was even more ill. As long as you don’t have enough money, nothing can be accomplished.
"Very good. I hope that the appearance of our Han army will be completely renewed in half a year. Instantly, I will review the entire army."
"Yes, the king."
"Okay, let's go to the third issue, how to deal with the prisoners?" Xu Boju said.
"Before discussing this issue, Qin Xuan, let me tell you how the ideological work of the prisoners has been carried out during this period and how effective it is?"
"Yes, the king."
"After this period of ideological work, and our great Han Dynasty treats prisoners well, and considering that everyone will be the people of the great Han Dynasty in the future, their relatives are now also the people of the great Han Dynasty, so most of them are willing to join our great Han army."
"Most of the prisoners who are still in custody are stubborn and may need more time to do ideological work."
"How many stubborn people are left?" Xu Boju asked.
"Reporting to the king, plus the previous ones, there are still about 3,000 stubborn resisters in the country, many of whom were arrested when they were purged by major lords and aristocratic families. They were originally people who rode on the people and acted as a mighty man, and they could not accept the policies of our great Han country at once." Qin Xuan explained.
"Haha, the opportunity has been given to them. Since they don't know the current affairs, then forget it, and there is no need to continue to do ideological work. My Han Kingdom still has many places that need them to serve, such as mining from Xiaojinshan and mining from other mines. These people are just right. What do you think?" Xu Boju said.
"The method of the king of the country is very good. My Han Dynasty lacks labor everywhere, and these free labor is just right." Lin Wei said.
"I have something to add."
"Oh? What do you think of Ge Lao?" Xu Boju said curiously.
"Reporting to the king, two thousand people are not a small number, and getting together is easy to cause chaos. I suggest that they be divided, and people from different countries that they originally hated need to be put together to prevent them from gathering privately. In addition, some leaders can be selected from them to manage. Sometimes the most ruthless one is their own people." Zhang Tianchen made both suggestions, both of which were good.
Xu Boju thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, that's it. Leave this matter to Shangshu Qin and allocate it to major mines as soon as possible."
"Yes, the king."
"You have just proposed to let these prisoners go to the mines. I also thought of one thing. There are also many prisoners in our Ministry of Justice and local prisons. They are imprisoned in prison. Not only do they have to give them food, but they also need to be taken care of. It is better to let them go to the mines to make up for the lack of manpower in our Han Dynasty, and to give them punishment." Tian Yuming, the Minister of Justice, set out.
Huh? Isn’t this the labor reform on the other side of the earth? Yes, why did I forget it before?
"Okay, this idea is good, but one thing to note is that in the newly ruled areas, there may have been many unjust, false and wrong cases in the past, which is absolutely not allowed in our Han Dynasty. You must send the Ministry of Justice to various places to retrieve unjust, false and wrong cases, and retrieve them according to the laws of our Han Dynasty. This work is very important to gather the hearts of the people. I must let the people from all over the world know that this day has changed and their days will also change." Xu Boju's words are inspiring.
The ministers were very excited to hear each other, especially Tian Yuming.
"Yes, lord, I will definitely focus on this matter, and there will never be any unjust, false and wrong cases." Tian Yuming promised.
"Yeah, I believe in your abilities."
"Okay, let's go to today's last issue, infrastructure." Xu Boju said.
"In the past year, the infrastructure industry of my Han Dynasty has been in full swing. You have experienced it personally. You should have a lot of thoughts. The following is a discussion on how to promote these living examples across the country." Xu Boju started.
Li Tianyang, Minister of Works, was the first to list: "The king of the country, I believe that highways should be promoted nationwide. I especially remember what the king said before, if you want to be rich, build roads first. The past year has proved this. The highways accelerated the flow of people and commodities in the Han Dynasty, which is greatly beneficial to the country's economic development, and should continue to invest."
"Well, I agree very much about this matter, so I will leave it to the Ministry of Works of Ryuhashi Department to take charge of it. You will take charge of this matter."
"As for how to plan the highway, I think it should be planned after the nine counties in the Han Dynasty are divided before planning. The highway must connect to the nine counties, and also connect to the whole country, connect to the places where the people live, facilitate travel, connect to major mines, facilitate mineral logistics, connect to markets, connect to the borders of various countries, and facilitate trade with various countries."
"Yes, the king." Li Tianyang received the order.
"In addition to the roads, there are also tea gardens in Qingfeng Mountain that can continue to expand the planting area, because the strength of our Han Dynasty is different now, and we will have better sales channels." Xu Boju said.
"Master, I wonder what this better channel is?" Lin Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said curiously.
"Haha, let the Minister of Qin from the Ministry of Commerce tell everyone."
"Yes, the king."
"We have already joined the Tianbao Tower in Beiyue area. They are very optimistic about our tea and porcelain and are willing to become our partners. In addition to the dozen countries around us, their branches are spread throughout the Chen Kingdom, so what we should worry about now is the shortage of tea."
"Porcelain factories should also be expanded, and jointly with the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce to unify porcelain standards, divide grades, unify prices, expand scale, and form a scale effect." Xu Boju reminded.
"Yes, the king."
"Before, my Han Dynasty had a small area of cultivated land. I thought it would be unfavorable to allocate it to the people. However, now the Han Dynasty has a large land and a sparse population, so we should seriously consider this issue." Xu Boju mentioned a very important issue.
Land is not only very important on the earth, but also here. Only with your own land can the people feel at ease.
"Master, I wonder how to formulate the standards for the classification of cultivated land?" Lin Wei asked.
"First of all, there is a major premise. All land belongs to the state, and the people are not allowed to buy and sell land at will. If the state does not need to be recycled, this is to prohibit the aristocratic families from occupying the land once and for all."
"Land is allocated to the people by the state, and the people's agricultural tax must also be unified, that is, 10% of the harvest is paid to the state, and the remaining will belong to them individually. In the event of a disaster, the agricultural tax can be exempted. Public granaries must be established in various places, and the grain in the hands of the people should be purchased during the bumper harvest, and the low interest rate will be loaned to the people in the disaster year to avoid the occurrence of incidents such as low grain damage to farmers."
"The lord of the country is wise," these two are simply a magical stroke.
