Go to ancient times and engage in construction

——————————————— Fan Jin’s troubles——————————————

When Fan Jin's fifth daughter was born, Ge Da Niu, who wanted to have a boy, was desperate, and she lay on the bed crying and begged Fan Jin to take a concubine and have a son.Ge Daniu thinks that her stomach is not up to date, maybe the result will be different if she changes her stomach.

"Nonsense, if you can't give birth to a son, you can't give birth to a son. If you can't give birth to a son, can you lose your head and break your vows at the Bermuda wedding?" Fan Jin, who was holding the five fairies, snapped at his wife.

"But my husband, without a male heir, cut off the incense of the Fan family. This is all my concubine's fault." Ge Da Niu was sternly reprimanded by her husband, but she felt more at ease in her heart, but she still felt guilty.

"If I hadn't had to meet the young master and Marshal Chu, a prisoner who took his life as a husband, how could I have married you and given birth to five beautiful babies? I am already satisfied with today."

Fan Jin also wanted a son very much, but it was absolutely impossible for him to violate his beliefs in order to have a son.

"Why don't we use Wuya to exchange the third boy from Dazhuang Erniu's family?" Ge Daniu suggested to Ai Ai Qiqi. A strong boy.

After hearing his wife's suggestion, Fan Jin was a little moved, but he looked at the fifth daughter who was sleeping soundly in his arms, but he was extremely reluctant.

"It's better not to switch. If you can be like Sihua, let alone five daughters, no matter how many daughters you have, you will be happy for your husband."

God fulfilled half of Fan Jin's wishes, and Fan Jin and his wife Ge Da Niu gave birth to two more daughters.After the drama "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" arranged by Er Xie was popular in the empire, people jokingly called Fan Jin's seven daughters the Seven Fairies.

After the seven fairies grew up, none of them could match Huo Sihua's talent, but all of them had a headache for Fan Jin and his wife.

"Wuya, what are you talking about?" Fan Jin, with a gray beard, felt that there must be something wrong with his ears.

"Father! I want to find a girl for the rest of my life. I beg my father to persuade my mother not to go around looking for a husband for five girls!" Fairy Fan Wu took her father's arm and acted like a spoiled child.Fan Wuya has reached her full age, old enough to talk about marriage.

"You, you, are you looking for a girl?" Fan Jin pointed at his daughter and trembled.

"That's right! A man is rude, how can a daughter be gentle and considerate." Fairy Fan Wu was confident.

"Oh my God! I don't want to live anymore! I admit that I can't have a son, but why do the daughters I give birth to grow up to be so weird!" Ge Da Niu couldn't help crying when she heard about the marriage plan of the five daughters.

Strange to say, when the daughters of Fan Jin and his wife grew up, they chose marriage partners with very rebellious tastes.

Due to Fan Jin's social status, there are many dignitaries who want to marry Fan's family. However, Fan Jin's eldest daughter is not looking for a descendant of a wealthy family, but a pottery craftsman.Regarding the choice of the eldest daughter, although Fan Jin and his wife were a little surprised, they still respect the decision of the eldest daughter.

The second daughter is studying painting, and the Ruyi Langjun she is looking for is a classmate, a poor painter from a poor family.Poor painters are poor painters. Fan Jin thinks that his family has a lot of money, so it doesn't matter if he has more sons-in-law.

The third daughter was originally the most well-behaved and the best in her studies, but she fell in love with a geologist who spends more than half of a year exploring minerals in the wild. After marriage, she left home to wander the mountains and rivers with her husband.

The husband of the fourth daughter is an actor. Although Er Xie in the opera world has become an idol of the people of the empire because he composed and sang operas that the people of the empire love, Er Xie's status has risen from an actor to a master in one fell swoop.However, the humble status of artists for thousands of years still made many dignitaries in the imperial court look sideways at the marriage of Fan Jin's four daughters.

Because Fan Jin was born as an artist, he did not stop the marriage of the four daughters because of the sideways glances of the rich and powerful.But no matter how sensible Fan Jin was, he never thought of having a son-in-law.In the Huahan Empire, the proportion of husbands and wives who fell in love and married was still very small, and there was no public precedent for female marriage.

Regarding the choice of the five daughters, Fan Jin and his wife did not acquiesce this time, and took objections.Angrily, the five fairies threatened to go to Minghui Valley to sue.Fan Jin was afraid of disturbing Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui, so he had to compromise with the fifth daughter.The five fairies of the Fan family ate the first crab and opened a routine lily marriage in the Huahan Empire.

Because of the alternative choices of the five daughters, Fan Jin and his wife became the laughing stock of some people in the upper class of the empire. Fan Jin was afraid that the next two daughters would have more unexpected behaviors when they grew up, so he did not dare to educate the first five daughters. Laissez-faire, began to personally teach two young daughters.

But even though Fan Jin devoted all his energy to the two youngest daughters, the youngest Seven Fairies still caused Fan Jin and his wife a headache.Fairy Fan Qi is a dedicationist who chooses to dedicate her whole life to the cause of medicine without marrying.

However, Fan Jin's hard work was not completely in vain. Fairy Fan Liu married the third heir of the empire, the third son of the emperor and his wife, and earned Fan Jin's face in front of the powerful.

——————————————— Zhao Xuan’s troubles————————————

After Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui resigned from their public positions, they did not return to Minghui Valley for the sake of a stable handover of power. Instead, they lived in Bieye, Kangcheng, to help Zhao Xuan fight.Without the busy business, the couple suddenly seemed extremely free. With free time, they could enjoy those warm and lustful things, and Chu Zhaohui had time to implement the eighteen tricks on the bed.

"Zhaohui! Please spare me! I can't take it anymore!" Zheng Yuming was completely naked, not only his hands were tied to the bedpost by Chu Chaohui with cloth strips, but also his glasses were covered by a black cloth.

"It's awkward, the pattern I drew is going to be twisted by you." Chu Chaohui squeezed the grape juice with his fingers to paint on Zheng Yuming's body. The purple-red juice stained Zheng Yuming's white skin, which had a shocking effect and was very visually stimulating.

Before Chu Chaohui finished the painting, he threw grapes on the beautiful picture and caused damage.

"Tuk-tuk!" There was a knock on the bedroom door, and Daniu's still loud voice sounded outside the courtyard. "My lord, that kid Zhao Xuan is here!"

Twenty years have passed, and Zhao Xuan has become the top leader of the empire, and Daniel even calls Zhao Xuan a kid.

"This lingering Zhao Xuan is not working in the red building in broad daylight, what are you doing here!" Chu Zhaohui gritted his teeth and got off Zheng Yuming's body.

"Untie my hand quickly, Zhao Xuan must have something important to do." Zheng Yuming persuaded Chu Chaohui.

"Don't you think that Zhao Xuan is running here a bit more frequently? If he is so incompetent, he shouldn't be the prime minister." Chu Zhaohui was very annoyed that Zhao Xuan came to ask Zheng Yuming for advice every now and then.

"At the beginning, there were always some problems that I didn't understand." Zheng Yuming hurriedly took care of himself.The grape juice on the body must be wiped clean, the clothes for meeting guests must be worn, and the loose hair must be combed.

Zhao Xuan waited in the living room for a long time before he saw Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui coming in.

"Brother Yu, I'm here to bother you again." Zhao Xuan greeted Zheng Yuming first, and then offered his hand to Chu Chaohui with a smile on his face, which was regarded as a greeting ceremony.

The corner of Chu Chaohui's mouth twitched, as if he didn't see that Zhao Xuan was being perfunctory, he just nodded to Zhao Xuan and sat down on one side, picked up the newspaper and flipped through it.

Zhao Xuan wished to meet Zheng Yuming alone, but as long as Chu Chaohui knew, he would never let Zhao Xuan do so.

"Brother Yu, the finances are too poor, right? Not only do you have no money, but you also owe a whole lot of debt!" Zhao Xuan was prime minister for less than half a year, and he only found out the situation of various departments. After learning about the empire's finances, Zhao Xuan turned pale with shock. .

After the state of Wu merged with Daqin, it allocated huge sums of money to poor areas to develop agriculture.Half of these funds come from Wu State's original finances, and half come from bonds, and the bonds have a two-year term.Because the impoverished area that needs to be supported is too large, and the poor people have three years of partial tax relief, the initial financial revenue and expenditure of the empire are not much.After repaying the bonds, it will have to do another job to keep the operation going.So in the hands of Zhao Xuan, the empire's finances are still in debt.

"Well, the current finances are much better than in previous years, and the number of bonds has been reduced by half." Zheng Yuming rubbed his nose. During his career in power, the country with the richest finances was the time before the annexation of Wu. First invest and spend on construction, the larger the area of ​​the merged land, the more financially constrained it will be.

"But less than half is still a lot!" Zhao Xuan's forehead was throbbing with veins. After he succeeded as Prime Minister, he was about to let go of his fists and kicks, but when he checked the finances, the Huahan Empire was an out-and-out pauper.It's just that the financial situation of the imperial court is not good, and the lives of the people are several times better than before.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, hasn't the financial revenue increased every year in the past few years? At most, next year, the bonds can be fully repaid." Zheng Yuming comforted Zhao Xuan. The most difficult period for the empire's finances has passed, and now most of the empire People's lives were stable, industry and commerce began to prosper, and agricultural taxes and industrial and commercial taxes doubled year by year.

"Hey, brother, I know that the finances will get better and better, but some expenses are getting worse and worse." Zhao Xuan's voice was heavy.

"You mean education funding?" Zheng Yuming understood what Zhao Xuan was talking about.

"The survival rate of children today is five or six times higher than when the princes separated each other. These children start to go to school one after another, and the five-year free education funds will increase exponentially. If things go on like this, the empire's finances will be dragged down by free education." Zhao Xuan said. Pass the stacked data to Zheng Yuming.

After the establishment of the Huahan Empire, the empire provided free education for eight years except for the Wu region, and five years for all other regions.Wudi implemented it for three more years, so that Wudi's local finance could keep up, and the extra three years' expenses would be borne by Wudi's local finance itself.

After ten years of recuperation, both the fertility rate and the survival rate of children have doubled, which has caused the number of children in school to double every year.

"Brother Wang, poor education is not enough to be poor. The more you spend on education now, the more you will gain in the future." Zheng Yuming insisted on this point.

"But my brother still wants to use troops against the Rong people and bring the Northwest Grassland into the empire's territory." Zhao Xuan said his plan, and what he had to plan was very expensive.

"That's right, if the Rong people's area is included in the empire, the empire doesn't need to guard against the nomads in the northwest." Zheng Yuming nodded in agreement.

"I don't know if the finances can keep up in five years' time, and the timing of using troops against the Rong people is not feasible." Zhao Xuan told Zheng Yuming, but his eyes were on Chu Chaohui. He wanted to hear Chu Chaohui's opinion on military matters. , Chu Chaohui is the best at it.

After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, he waited for Chu Chaohui to express his opinion, but Chu Chaohui didn't seem to hear him, he lowered his head and read the newspaper seriously, leaving Zhao Xuan aside.

"Cough! Cough! How does Zhao Hui feel?" Zheng Yuming couldn't see it.

"Five years from now, the Rong tribe will be in chaos. Prime Minister Zhao doesn't need to use force. As long as the Rong people are turned into citizens of the empire, the plain will easily become the territory of the empire." Chu Zhaohui reluctantly put down the newspaper.

"Turn the Rong people into citizens of the empire?" Zhao Xuan hated the Rong people in his heart, and only thought about how to destroy them.

"The best conquest is not by force, but by melting them into one's own people. In the future, the empire will not only integrate the nomads in the northwest, but also the Tu people in the southwest. Wherever the empire steps, it will integrate."

Chu Chaohui has sent many people to infiltrate the Renrong tribe to provoke them. The Rong tribe cannot go south to rob, but can only fight in the grasslands for resources. Year after year of fighting, the life of the Rong people has become more and more difficult.The Rong people longed for the stable and prosperous life of the people of the Huahan Empire, and the dazzling array of goods manufactured by the Huahan Empire made the Rong people envy and pursue.

Some small tribes have entrusted people to the imperial court to ask if their tribes can live in the empire. These Rong people want to move to the pass and become citizens of the empire.Rong people only have their own language, not their own writing.If the tribesmen of the Rong people learned the imperial characters and could speak the imperial language, they would be no different from the imperial people.At that time, there were only 3000 million people in the empire, and the population was an important resource for the prosperity of the empire. For the sake of development, the empire welcomed immigrants.

"The best conquest is not by force!" Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up, and for the first time he cast admiring glances at Chu Chaohui.

After Chu Chaohui finished speaking, he did not look at Zhao Xuan's reaction, but lowered his head to study the newspaper.

"Brother Wang's plan can definitely be realized." Zheng Yuming paused and added another sentence. "As for the lack of education funds, we can think of another way to open source."

"How to open source?" Zhao Xuan humbly asked for advice.

"You can buy and sell titles."

"How can the title be traded openly!" Zhao Xuan shook his head, the title is still very sacred in his heart.

"You can buy and sell in another form." Zheng Yuming was born in grassroots, and he didn't care much about his status as aristocrat.

"It's not appropriate to change the form. The title can only be awarded to those who have made great contributions to the country." Zhao Xuan's head was still shaking like a rattle.

"If the people of the empire donate huge sums of money to the royal court to subsidize education, will it count as national merit?" Zheng Yuming pointed to Zhao Xuan.

"That's right, donating money to support the empire is a meritorious service!" Zhao Xuan realized that changing the appearance of some things is decent. "Talking to Yudi, Mao Sai suddenly understood!"

During Zhao Xuanhua's ten-year tenure, he insisted on five-year compulsory education even though he had financial difficulties. Five-year compulsory education has become an unshakable policy of the empire.

In the 16th year of the Great Emperor, Zhao Xuan used a variety of methods against the Rong people outside the Northwest Pass, using carrots and sticks together, which made most of the soldiers fall in love with the empire and willingly become the subjects of the empire.In the 17th year of Emperor [-], Wei Qing led his troops into the northwest grassland, stationed troops on the grassland, and established a county government. Some Rong people moved eastward and became farmers, and some Rong people continued to stay in the grassland to graze. The grazing livestock were exchanged for grain and daily necessities in the interior.As for the resisting Rong people, they all disappeared under the iron cavalry of the imperial soldiers.
