The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 325 Luoyang is under construction

Liu Tai's arrival caused all the northern resources to converge on Luoyang, so although it was just a simple reconstruction of Luoyang and road maintenance, Luoyang, a city that had been baptized by war, began to regain its vitality.

Unfortunately, the number of common people is limited, and he has even arranged for some retired soldiers to participate in the labor.

However, cleaning up Luoyang City, building residential areas, widening urban roads, etc. all consumed a lot of Liu Tai's human resources.

Therefore, even if Liu Tai had food in hand, the labor force under his command was limited. Even if the first batch of people from Qingzhou and Yecheng came to Luoyang one after another, they still could not meet the population needs of Luoyang's reconstruction.

Therefore, Liu Tai began the second round of recruitment and began to open the list to cities around the Yongji Canal or the Yellow River, because these places can quickly transport people there through water transportation.

Otherwise, if you take the land route, it is easy to become acclimatized as the distance increases, but even so, the section from Xingyang to Luoyang requires enough doctors to provide treatment and treatment.

With the promulgation of Liu Tai's edict, many people were willing to follow Liu Tai to Luoyang to try their luck, but more people still chose to cultivate the land issued by the imperial court at home.

Basically, the vast majority of family members of government soldiers and combat soldiers are unwilling to leave the local area and go to Luoyang.

After all, they have at least fifty acres of land in their hands, and they can live a good life locally as long as they work hard, which makes them reluctant to move to Luoyang.

After all, as Liu Tai promotes various methods to increase the unit output of farmers, whether it is animal husbandry, mechanical energy, steel farm tools, or coal energy, in short, Liu Tai will work hard as long as it can improve social productivity. It was promoted, and even people began to make igloos out of ice and snow in the north, and then made ground fires in the igloos and buried charcoal fire, so that the temperature inside the igloos could be kept relatively high, thereby feeding some relatively cold-resistant crops.

The vast majority of soldiers or soldiers who have farmland, food and foundation at home feel more and more prosperous. The unit productivity of fifty acres of land continues to increase, and they reap the dividends brought by the general environment.

In this way, they will naturally not leave their hometown. After all, they live well at home. Most people choose to stay at home instead of messing around.

After all, his mother was a weak merchant and his father was a servant. His family wanted to stay in his place of origin, but his family was poor and he went to another place.

This principle has been true since ancient times. If you have really arranged everything in your hometown, who would not go back to your hometown!

For the vast majority of people, it is because they see no hope of development in their hometown that they do not hesitate to leave their hometown and go to developed places to develop, hoping that fate will favor them.

But I have never thought that your hometown only gives you a destiny that you can see at a glance, while the city squeezes out every ounce of your energy coldly, and then abandons you like bagasse, driving you away with visible and invisible shackles such as houses. If you go outside the city and avoid sharing the benefits that originally belong to the city, you will soon find that more than ten years of hard work is just working for various landlords.

However, in this world there are good families who diligently guard fifty acres of their land and live a peaceful life, and of course there are also libertines who expect to get something for nothing or a windfall.

Many local people who did not want to suffer the hardships of farming or participate in the war went to Luoyang with some hope.

After all, one point in the announcement pointed out that people arriving in Luoyang during this period will directly apply for Luoyang household registration, which is quite attractive to those who want to give it a try.

After all, everyone is spreading rumors that Luoyang will become the best place in the future, the capital of the Han Dynasty. How can the household registration in the capital be comparable to that of a remote and remote place like my own?

After all, whether it is Linzi or Yecheng, it has been proved that as long as Liu Tai stays in the government, it will become prosperous at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then he will lie at home and wait to die, renting out his spare house and extra money Cars and horses can be developed.

Now this is an opportunity they don't want to miss.

Therefore, although they have just experienced war, many people choose to live on their own fields.

But there are also some people who choose to raise travel expenses and plan to use this opportunity to come to Luoyang to have a try.

Liu Tai also chose to give the green light to this, because Liu Tai knew very well that if Luoyang wanted to develop, it needed a population, and if Luoyang wanted to conquer Zhao, it needed a population even more. Without enough population, it would be unrealistic for him to develop Luoyang.

But this is a slow process after all, and Liu Tai doesn't pay too much attention to this aspect. At this moment, Liu Tai is still planning Luoyang City wholeheartedly.

"Monuments, schools, hospitals, markets..." Liu Tai began to plan Luoyang according to his own wishes.

Among them, Taixue is naturally indispensable. When I was in Yecheng, I only used Mengxue to support me. Basically, after the students reached adulthood, they either became military historians or soldiers, and did not learn any further relevant knowledge.

In other words, their training is to train them either to become military history or to become soldiers.

But now that Luoyang is ready to be built into a capital-level city, the Taixue in its location is naturally indispensable.

I don't expect that everyone who comes out of this school will be talented. After all, college students are basically a bit clear and stupid. How can the students who come out of Taixue be so smart in this era?

I just hope that if I can cultivate a little military history, I can become a Jinshi, and if I can train soldiers, I can develop into an officer.

While Liu Tai was thinking about it, Xi Jinping came over to see Liu Tai and said, "Why have you summoned me, Your Majesty?"

Liu Tai put down the pen and ink in his hand and said to Xi Canjun: "There is indeed something wrong."

As he spoke, Liu Tai made an invitation to Xi Jinping and asked him to sit down and discuss it together. Then Liu Tai said,

"I remember we started establishing the military history system. It must have been more than ten years now."

"To be precise, it's twelve years!" Xi Canjun said after hearing Liu Tai's words.

"Well!" Liu Tai nodded and said to Xi Jinping, "Then we have also accumulated a considerable amount of original information about our army."

"Exactly!" Xi Jinping nodded, "With the expansion of the military history system, the main consumption of basic imperial papermaking is military history.

There are tens of thousands of historical records produced every year, but most of them are of poor quality and cannot be entered into the halls. They are only kept in the treasury of the Military History Office. "

"Keeping it forever not only takes up the resources of the imperial court, but also does not produce any benefits. It is too wasteful!"

Liu Tai waved his hand and said, "I plan to build a Pinshu Pavilion in Luoyang and include the history books written by these military historians to fill the library.

As long as people with Luoyang household registration and scholars with honorary titles can enter this Pinshu Pavilion to read.

It is allowed to copy books in Pinshu Pavilion, but it is not allowed to take books out. Xi Canjun nodded thoughtfully after hearing Liu Tai's words, but still said to Liu Tai, "Your Majesty, what is fame?" "

"..." Liu Tai thought for a moment and said, "They must be those scholars who passed the first round of the imperial examination."

"However, your question is a good one. As we conquered the Central Plains, our territory has been further expanded. Recruiting scholars from all over the world to take one round of exams is a bit too inefficient. The county where we are located should be the first. The first test is to take the Ming Sutra, the second test is to take the strategist in the state capital where you are, and finally come to Luoyang to take the Jinshi exam." Liu Tai thought for a while, patted his head and said,

"It seems that when this year's autumn harvest is over and Xi Jian stabilizes the surrounding areas of the Central Plains, he will have to bear a heavier burden!"

Xi Canjun was listening on the side, watching Liu Tai suddenly have an idea, but Xi Canjun also sighed at Liu Tai's intelligence.

But it was obvious that Liu Tai planned to leave this matter to Xi Jian.

After all, Xi Jian was not too surprised when he joined the army. After all, the last scientific examination was handed over to Xi Jian. He just lamented that Xi Jian was probably going to be tired.

Liu Tai came back to his senses and said to Xi Canjun, "However, the records of the military history system are simple and capable. You cannot just throw all the books on military history records into the Pinshu Pavilion. You need to arrange for someone to sort them out." Suitable for ordinary people to read.

In addition, find some people who are good at telling stories, select examples of soldiers who have sacrificed, and praise them.

All in all, the heroic performance of soldiers on the battlefield should not only be known to people in the military, but should be known to more people.

Where they can't see, there are many people who have sacrificed their lives for the sake of world peace! "

Hearing Liu Tai's words, Xi Canjun was stunned but also saluted Liu Tai solemnly, but Xi Canjun said:

"If we follow the king's wishes, I am afraid that a permanent organization will be set up to be responsible for summarizing, summarizing, filtering, and polishing military history to a certain extent so that ordinary scholars can read it more conveniently!"

Liu Tai nodded and said, "Do you have anyone suitable to recommend?"

"I feel that Xun Zhi, who was ranked first in the "Book of Han" at the time, is suitable for this position!" Xi Canjun thought for a while and said, "Of course, Wang Xizhi, who was born in the Langya Wang family, may be able to take up the position!"

"Xun Zhi or Wang Xizhi..." Liu Tai heard Xi Jianjun's words and thought about two candidates.

I have to say that I basically can’t remember who was ranked second at the time, but I have some impressions of Xun Zhi and Liu Tai who were ranked first in the "Book of Han".

The most important thing is that he is Xun Chuo's son. When he occasionally gave Xun Chuo a banquet, he had met Xun Zhi at least, and at least in his own impression, he was a handsome and cautious guy.

As for Wang Xizhi, he himself didn’t know whether Wang Xizhi’s simplified Chinese characters had been worked out, but Liu Tai said to Xi Canjun:

"Wang Xizhi can be hired as a guest minister, and it doesn't matter if Wang Xizhi polishes his articles. He can be given a corresponding salary, but not an official position!"

"No!" Xi Canjun nodded to Liu Tai after hearing Liu Tai's words. Xi Canjun understood that Wang Xizhi should be registered with Liu Tai, and at least Liu Tai should be paying close attention to Wang Xizhi.

However, Xi Jianjun also didn't understand why Liu Tai didn't appoint or remove Wang Xizhi as an official since he paid attention to Wang Xizhi.

But Liu Tai didn't seem to hate Wang Xizhi, but Liu Tai's attitude made Xi Jianjun a little confused.

But no matter what, since Liu Tai treated Wang Xizhi special, he also asked the people around him to respect Wang Xizhi and not to neglect Wang Xizhi just because he had no official position.

Liu Tai nodded and handed the matter over to Xi Canjun to handle the matter. He first established a library in the city of Luoyang.

For Liu Tai, he does not expect this library to smooth the gap between aristocratic families and the common people, but he always hopes that more people in the world can learn to write, so that the common people can grow faster.

Of course, it is just books on military history. In the future, some agricultural production books such as "Essentials for Elevating the People" will be added, so that the people who learn this knowledge can really get something truly useful to them from the knowledge.

As for books that further elaborate on ideas, social distribution or class formation, Liu Tai will naturally not insert them.

After all, in Liu Tai's view, the current social productivity cannot support the development of capitalism, let alone socialism.

Moreover, the environmental instinct of China's monarchy is to pursue continuous centralization of power. A system like capitalism that promotes the status of businessmen in social development is not suitable for China, and Liu Tai naturally has no interest in promoting it.

What I want is for the people to find an opportunity to use knowledge to survive and even get rich.

Although I also know that simplifying the font while retaining the Chinese context is not an easy task in itself.

As Wang Xizhi visited aristocratic families in the north during this period, and then followed him to Luoyang, he obviously had ideas and prototypes in his mind.

Then let him do the leisurely job of a librarian and continue to absorb literary nourishment, so that he can come up with simplified Chinese characters that are suitable for this era.

Liu Tai quickly put this matter aside and began to write a letter to Xi Jian, asking him to think about the innovation of the scientific examination system he had built by himself, and how he needed to truly implement this system.

For the sake of the stability of several states in the Central Plains, Xi Jian worked hard to encourage mulberry farming, and provided the people in the Central Plains with various equipment and livestock needed for production. He even encouraged the people to use the water mills needed after the autumn harvest to take advantage of the summer. Build it first.

While Xi Jian was working hard, Liu Tai's letter to Xi Jian arrived. Xi Jian looked at Liu Tai's letter and smiled bitterly, Your Majesty, you really treat yourself like a cow and a horse!

However, Xi Jian's heart was still quite excited when he sighed like this.

No matter what you say, this shows that Liu Tai values ​​​​himself. Now that the king has handed over the scientific expedition plan to him, all he needs to do is to truly implement the plan. Only in this way can he not let the king down. expect.

Xi Jian also knew that with this scientific expedition plan given to him, the time for him to return to Liu Tai would be fast.
