The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 307 Unlocking the Wisdom of the People, the Empress Leads
Seeing that everyone didn't answer, Liu Bian also had a headache. He understood the reason why he wanted to build roads first if he wanted to get rich.But he can't spend that much money, even if he sells the palace, it will be difficult to complete it.

Yu Qian stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, road construction alone is not enough. The transshipment of goods requires a lot of mules and horses, as well as a lot of manpower. More and larger post stations need to be built along the way, otherwise there is nowhere to store goods. There will still be losses in rainy days. This is a grand infrastructure plan." Last night Yu Qian thought about it all night, and was deeply disturbed by Liu Bian's grand plan, fearing that it would drag down the imperial court financially, which would bring about a series of chain reactions.

The question Yu Qian raised also surprised everyone. Just repairing the roads has already made the court unaffordable.Coupled with the supporting infrastructure, it is really difficult to complete.

So everyone looked at Liu Bian one after another, wanting Liu Bian to come up with a solution, but they really had no choice.Liu Bian didn't think about this issue carefully, but thought that a pilot project could be done first.The ministers have already seen such a long-term view, which shows that they are 100% in favor of Liu Bian's idea.

Liu Bianlue thought for a moment and motioned everyone to sit down.

Seeing that everyone was seated, he opened his mouth and said, "Master Yu is very good, but I really didn't think about these things thoroughly. Why don't we make a long-term plan, things don't happen overnight."

Everyone agreed, and Zhang Juzheng said: "Your Majesty, I think the construction of schools and the construction of roads and posthouses can be classified into one plan. Educational reform and trade can be classified into one plan. The two plans can be carried out in stages at the same time."

Fang Xuanling continued: "We can divide it into several stages and set a time for each stage. This can urge officials to work hard to complete it, and also allow the court to have a more reasonable distribution of its own money."

Wang Anshi got up and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I think you can decide on a name for each stage. You can also shout a few slogans. First, let ordinary people understand the content of the plan. Second, it can make the people have more confidence in the court." .”

Liu Bian couldn't help laughing, isn't this the prototype of a planned economy?
So he said with a smile: "Why don't you call it the Dahan Industrial Development and Reform Plan, and set up a Dahan Development and Reform Department, which will be headed by me personally, and composed of all the love ministers and the top leaders of the three provinces and six ministries. You are directly responsible to me. What has anything to do with this plan?" Conflict matters can be decided on your own. Every three days, organize the recent affairs and to-do affairs and submit them to Master Zhang.”

Everyone stood up and respectfully agreed.

"Now let's talk about the specific implementation items and the time of the first plan." Liu Bian raised his hand to signal that everyone didn't need to salute.

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, I thought that the first plan must be to recruit trainers and promote reform plans. Only when the people understand can they recruit civilian husbands to build schools. I think the people will definitely welcome this kind of thing that is very beneficial to them. .The construction of the school will definitely be very fast at that time, and according to the opinions of the empress and all the empresses, we can use the existing facilities in various places to renovate, which can save a lot of expenses."

Liu Bian interrupted him: "As for the recruitment of lecturers, the queen has a plan. Prioritize the recruitment of retired sergeants and those who have been sent home from the palace, and then select those who are willing to train from all over the country. You will report to the queen when the time comes. Just report."

Zhang Juzheng took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, I have a bold idea." After speaking, he looked at Liu Bian, wondering if he should speak.

Liu Bian: "Say it out for everyone's reference."

Zhang Juzheng got up and said: "Your Majesty, I think it will be very difficult to rely on the financial resources of the imperial court even if it is only the first stage. It is better to let the people from all over the country come to pledge donations, and we can promise them some benefits. For example, every mile of roads can be erected. One piece, engraved with whoever donated it. Donate more and more engraved, and choose the one who donated the most in each place to be rewarded."

"This is a good way, is there any more?" Liu Bian was very satisfied with Zhang Juzheng's proposal.

"I thought it was possible to post the imperial list and stamp it with His Majesty's seal. Encourage all parts of the country to build infrastructure, and select the people who pledge the most donations every year, so that they have the opportunity to come to Beijing to see the holy face. Your Majesty can Reward some items for the royal family, let them serve as models, and increase the enthusiasm of the people to pledge." Yu Qian continued.

Once someone makes a suggestion, everyone can make inferences. This is the benefit of having a group of top talents.They make up for each other's shortcomings, and sometimes it's just a simple idea, and they can use it to lead to more strategies.

Yu Qian and Wang Anshi got up at the same time and gave in to each other. Wang Anshi said first, "Your Majesty, we can also set up a stone tablet in Chang'an. The best people from all over the world can have the right to have their names engraved on it."

Yu Qian went on to say: "If some places have exceeded the task and have rich money, they can assign the donors to the counties that have not completed the task to participate in the evaluation. This will not be wasted. After the first stage is completed, the new output The profits brought by the products will definitely not be small, and there should be no shortage of money in the second stage after that."

"I agree with your Lordships. I have a suggestion. The standards for roads and schools built in various places need to be stipulated according to the actual conditions of each place. I will lead my colleagues to check. We will seriously deal with all kinds of fraud and corruption and will not let them go. The big man's money has been lost." Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said to the crowd.

Liu Bian saw that everyone had reached a consensus, so they went back to implement it separately, leaving Wei Zheng alone.

This is the first such large-scale reform in this world, and it is a reform that affects everyone.Whether it is the people of the Han Dynasty or the people who have sealed off the country or the country, or the land that has not yet accepted the education of the Han Dynasty, they will all be greatly affected by this industrial reform.

Liu Bian had ordered people to start researching the technology of pavement solidification very early on. At that time, the research was carried out for the purpose of strengthening the city, but there was no progress until recently. The craftsmen discovered that the limestone that Liu Bian said was mixed with sandstone and loess After burning paper, it can be made into something similar to modern cement.

Very high strength, very easy to construct.So a lot of experiments were carried out, and the technology is still in continuous improvement.

Seeing that Liu Bian didn't speak, Wei Zheng stood there and waited. Liu Bian looked at him and said, "I have something I want to entrust to you. In addition to providing them with ideological and moral specialists, you also need to select some reliable people from among them. In the future, let them go to various feudal countries and dependent countries to teach skills."

Wei Zheng knew it would be a long time later, but he didn't dare to hesitate, so he quickly agreed.

Liu Bian nodded and continued: "Also, you have to organize people to go to various places to investigate local resources, collect them into a book, and name them uniformly."

Wei Zheng understood the importance of this matter and kowtowed to accept the order.
