The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 834
More importantly, as the Agricultural Research Institute vigorously cultivates high-quality grain varieties, the output has greatly increased, and there is also a supply of supplementary grains mainly sweet potatoes. The people have enough food and clothing, and tend to live a more stable life.

Among the people, some people have begun to oppose the endless expansion of territory by the imperial court, thinking that it is better to use the money for people's livelihood construction because of its laborious and expensive foreign wars.

What's more, they think that Tianhua's territory is too large. In order to maintain such a large territory, it is necessary to maintain a huge army, invest huge amounts of money and food to support the army, and develop the local people's livelihood.

It's better to enfeoff and divide the frontier into large and small vassal states, so as to defend the Central Plains.The empire, on the other hand, can keep the Central Plains prosperous and strong without spending manpower and material resources.

Although such remarks are not mainstream among the people, they are also a voice that cannot be ignored.Lin Yifan was quite annoyed by this, but there was nothing he could do.You can't forcibly ban this kind of speech and arrest those who speak wild words, right?
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Yifan felt that it was right for Tianhua to expand its borders, but the problem was that the people got too little benefit from it, so they didn't feel it.

Since there is no benefit, why should the people unconditionally support the imperial court's policies?
Regarding this, Lin Yifan also found it difficult.It is impossible to generate returns in the short term by expanding the territory.Unless it is military plunder, search for all the wealth of the conquered country.

But even that doesn't necessarily pay for itself.After all, some countries are already poor and difficult, and no matter how much they search, they will not be able to scrape much oil and water.

But occupying the country is of great benefit to the imperial court's long-term strategy.The trade-offs among them must not be measured by short-term interests.

In view of this situation, Lin Yifan has instructed the cabinet to investigate and formulate a series of policies, which can not only maintain the enterprising spirit of the imperial court, but also allow the common people to benefit from it.

In late July, after national auditions, a group of young talents were finally gathered, willing to go to Yunzhao to take up the post, so as to win a good future.

Lin Yifan was overjoyed by this, and immediately ordered them to come to the capital, and he wanted to meet them personally.

Among them, Zhang Sheng, who was once the prince's wife, was also among this group of people, as well as Lin Qing, Lin Ming and other youngsters that Lin Yifan adopted back then, who had begun to show their talents, all took the initiative to join the team going south.

In mid-August, Lin Yifan specially received dozens of young officials from various places in Tianhua Hall.The youngest of these people is under 30, and the oldest is only in his [-]s.

After Lin Yifan lectured them in the palace, he encouraged them and praised them as the pillars of the country.And ordered a banquet to be a farewell party for everyone.

Lin Yifan's actions soon spread throughout the world.No one expected that His Majesty would attach so much importance to these officials who went south to serve.

There are even rumors that His Majesty personally traced the names of those people on the screen behind the throne so that he can always remember them.

This made many people secretly regret in their hearts. If they knew this, they should have chosen to sign up at that time.In that case, I can also be simple in the emperor's heart.As long as he stays in Yunzhao for a few years, he will be promoted and reused after returning.

It's a pity that the first batch can be said to be a timely gift, and the second batch is just icing on the cake, destined not to receive preferential treatment from His Majesty.

When the first batch of officials who went south to take office set off, the Tianhua Army swept across the territory of Yunzhao and suppressed some of the prefectures that refused to surrender.

At the same time, after receiving Lin Yifan's instruction, the Tianhua Army began to reorganize the nearly 20 captives. After eliminating them, they reorganized [-] soldiers.

The Tianhua Army's 15 army, plus tens of thousands of navies, and 30 Yunzhao new troops, totaling nearly [-] troops, began to formally wage war on Uze, Liyue and Vietnam.

The 15 Tianhua Army in Haizhou and the [-] Lingnan Army, a total of [-] troops, entered the northern part of Leyue in one fell swoop.

So far, the Tianhua Army has a total of more than 40 troops, and launched the Battle of the Southwest.

Just after the Great War broke out in the Southwest, the cabinet finally formulated a series of policies for the mutual benefit of the people, which were handed over to Lin Yifan for final review.

In this draft, the cabinet proposed three outline requirements and dozens of minor rules.

First, in order to reduce the court's expenditure on foreign wars, the people were allowed to form militia groups to explore and conquer foreign countries, just like the story of the Western Regions back then.

When the folks discover overseas land, they can report it to the imperial court, and the imperial court will reward them with generous rewards.Give it a vain position to promote its glory.

The land discovered overseas is open for sale to big merchants and landlords in the country.In overseas land, there is no domestic upper limit.How much you can buy depends on your strength.

Second, in order to promote the development of industry and commerce, it will vigorously promote the external expansion of industry and commerce.Give workshop owners and merchants various preferential policies to export more of Tianhua's products outside the region.

In order to open the doors of other countries, it is necessary to have a strong force, as a guarantee, to open the doors of other countries' trade and dump Tianhua products to them.

Third, raise bank deposit rates and lower lending rates to absorb private deposits and provide more money for industrial and commercial loans.

Today, after nearly ten years of development, Tianhua's banks have spread across all states and counties, involving most of the counties.

With the guarantee of the imperial court's reputation, the common people began to slowly accept bank deposits.After making money, many people deposit part of the money in the bank to earn interest.

With the passage of time, Tianhua Bank now has more than 800 million depositors.You know, Tianhua has a population of only 7000 million in the whole country, and according to five people per household, there are only about 400 million households in the whole country.

Generally, saving money is saved by each household. That is to say, these 800 million people have reached more than half of the national household registration and have the habit of saving money.

Coupled with Tianhua's policy of hiding wealth from the people, when half of the households in the country deposit their assets of various sizes in the bank, the amount of deposits on the bank's books will reach 5000 million taels.This has greatly exceeded the annual income of the imperial government's finances, which is equivalent to storing five or six taels of silver per capita.

But this is only half of the country's population has storage. If full coverage is achieved, the amount of storage will probably double.

This is also the reason why Tianhua has launched several wars in succession in the past few years, but has not lost much national power.If you have money and food, don't panic.In the whole world, which other country can have Tianhua's wealth and power?
After reading the policies formulated by the cabinet, Lin Yifan couldn't help but secretly nodded. Once these laws and regulations are implemented, they will indeed bring Tianhua to another level.

However, Lin Yifan still felt that the contents drafted by the cabinet were still too conservative.Since it is an external expansion, then take a bigger step and give the people more autonomy.

　Ha ha!Warmly celebrate the collection of this book breaking through [-]!Although there are not so many people who are actually watching!
