"As for enthronement, let's wait for a while. There is also the mausoleum. Let someone look for it first, and don't rush to build it."

Lu Chensheng probably knew that Yang Zhiyuan wanted to let him build the mausoleum quickly, so he cut off the other party's words first.

Yang Zhiyuan opened his mouth slightly when he heard this, and seeing that Lu Chensheng didn't intend to change his mind, he could only nod helplessly.

At his age, he is actually the most stubborn and conservative age.

From his point of view, this kind of thing cannot be delayed. Lu Chensheng, who was born on the sidelines, has a different idea from him, and now that he is weak, he can't persuade Lu Chensheng, so he can only let it go.

"My lord, my subordinates have something to do."

"Say."

Lu Chensheng replied.

"Your Excellency has many wonderful people, and there are countless capable and skilled craftsmen. When the empire was first established, the first thing to do was to build water conservancy, reclaim fertile land, and promote improved farming methods."

Wang Tianxun said immediately.

Naturally, he was in charge of building water conservancy projects, and he had been here for a few years, so he was quite proficient in this matter.

"Construction of water conservancy is necessary."

Lu Chensheng didn't hesitate, "I leave this matter to you. If it's a mountainous place, you can use a screw pump as a water suction tool to draw water."

As long as a blade is installed on the bottom of the screw pump to drive the screw pump to rotate, it can be done without manpower.

This can be regarded as an inverted siphon, and it can be of great help in water conservancy.

Wang Tianxun immediately responded when he heard the words.

With the help of cement and screw pumps, the water conservancy project he planned could be completed quickly and at a low cost.

"My lord, there is still a shortage of officials at the moment, and the imperial examination should still be carried out."

Du Rufang stepped forward and said, there are so few officials in the main hall, it's impossible to continue like this.

The officials who should be recruited should continue to be recruited, and the number of ministers in the court should also be enriched.

"Okay, you can do this."

Lu Chensheng nodded.

"According to the development direction given by the adults, we should now vigorously develop handicraft production, including cotton textile industry, silk weaving industry, ceramics industry, paper industry, mining and metallurgy industry, etc. Your Excellency's weaving loom should be promoted, and other production workshops should be built. After selling the weaving machine, we will be able to increase production.

In addition, for these textile industries, the technology of the smelting industry should be more researched, and if it can be improved, it will definitely drive the development of the industry. "

Having followed Lu Chensheng for a long time, the few officials present knew the direction and goals of future development, and also understood how much these industries would do to the recovery and development of the economy after they developed.

Therefore, when we talk about this, we always talk about it clearly and clearly, and we also have development strategies.

"This is essential. The girl weaving machine has been explained before. A total of ten will be built and sold. As for the rest of the industrial technology, let's offer a reward. If someone can improve the manufacturing industry, a reward will be offered according to the degree of improvement. The minimum reward is ten. Two denarii."

It is a wise choice to gather talents from all over the world.

The wisdom of the ancients is beyond imagination, and Lu Chensheng has never thought that the ancients were stupid.

After the reward is offered, it will definitely stimulate the industry to a certain extent.

"Yes."

After Lu Chensheng's words fell, a minister immediately echoed.

"Although the Supervisor of Rituals has been established, it is short of manpower. This aspect requires more attention from the Ministry of Rites."

Lu Chensheng turned to look at Yang Zhiyuan, and said.

"Subordinates take orders."

When Yang Zhiyuan heard the words, he immediately agreed.

"Is there any land survey in the country now? How many good fields are there? How many mines?"

Li Daifu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "My lord, this hasn't been found out yet."

In the fall of last year, I was busy fighting everywhere. After the fighting, there were a lot of things to do. The survey was really not that easy.

How long has passed now, how can it be so easy to complete the survey.

Lu Chensheng had no choice but to hear the words, knowing that the task of the other party was really heavy.

"Keep this in mind."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Lu Chensheng didn't blame him, Li Daifu breathed a sigh of relief.

By the time Lu Chensheng finished making arrangements, it was already noon.

At this time, the ministers are all hungry, and they will be here before dawn in the morning. Naturally, they will be hungry at this time.

"Huh, I'm so tired."

After returning to the inner courtyard and sitting down, Lu Chensheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He spent the whole morning discussing various matters with the ministers, which really made Lu Chensheng very tired.

Xiaoyu has already prepared lunch by now.

"Things can take their time, why should my husband be in such a hurry?"

Qiong Yue walked up to her and said softly.

"Get it done as soon as possible, the policy will be announced earlier, and the economy will be stimulated as soon as possible. My wife doesn't know that the per capita income roughly calculated is not even a tael of silver a year."

Lu Chensheng smiled wryly.

This is a data given by the Ministry of Households this morning. The population is about 3000 million households, and the per capita annual income is not even a tael of silver.

Hearing this, Qiong Yue was stunned for a moment, "You can't even reach a tael of silver a year?"

"Young lady, you don't know, but we have a lot of jobs in Xing Seoul, but about one job is only about one hundred copper coins per month, and the income is only one or two taels of silver in a year.

Just this one or two taels of silver has already made the common people live a very happy life. How about those people who are far less than one or two taels of silver? "

The household department did not give a prepared value, but after careful comparison, one thing can be known.

The conditions in Xing Seoul are so good, those who earn more than one or two taels of silver a year are considered very rich.

Conditions in other places are harsh, and this is less than one tael of silver. How much worse is this deficiency?Is it half or dozens of copper coins?

None of these have given a specific number, but Lu Chensheng can guess more or less.

When Qiong Yue heard this, she also felt that it was really difficult for Lu Chensheng to deal with it calmly without being in a hurry.

Lu Chensheng sat down, and put aside all the things he had just recorded.

In the meeting just now, Lu Chensheng also memorized a lot of things, which will be dealt with later.

I only rely on my own brain to remember, I am afraid that I will forget it later.

In addition, what made Lu Chensheng a little worried was that the state treasury had already begun to cry.

There used to be nearly 400 million taels of silver in the treasury, but now there are only 30 taels of silver left.

Chapter 6 and five

The money spent is spent on military pay, armaments, salaries, research, engineering construction, and so on.

The more than 300 million taels of silver were thrown down, and the money was gone before any splash was seen.

To support such a large place, relying on the income of Xing Seoul alone is completely unable to support it.

This is also a headache for Lu Chensheng, more than 300 million taels of silver, if you say no, it will be gone.

This is the rest of Xing Seoul's family property after several years of operation, which is not enough to spend.

It's a good thing that Chengzhou Kingdom was not taken down at the same time, otherwise, Xinghan City would be heavily in debt at this moment.

After Lu Chensheng finished his lunch, a guard hurried in.

"My lord, a doctor came outside and said he wanted to see you."

"Doctor? Is there something you must see me for?"

Lu Chensheng frowned when he heard that, he still had a lot of things to do, and he really didn't have time to meet some irrelevant people.

"My lord doesn't know, this man was a genius doctor in the Jianghuai generation, and he was loved by the common people. He also heard that he has excellent medical skills. His subordinates didn't dare to reject him like this, so they came here to report."

Lu Chensheng was startled when he heard the words, is he still a miracle doctor?

"Come in, please."

If it's a genius doctor, then he can't neglect at will, so Lu Chensheng hurriedly asked someone to come in.

"My lord, should we still meet in the main hall?"

Lu Chensheng hesitated for a moment, "No need, it's in the next yard."

After finishing speaking, Lu Chensheng got up and walked to the next yard, Xiaoyu also quickly took out the tea leaves at this moment and made a pot of hot tea.

After half a cup of tea, an old man with white beard and hair was brought in energetically.

The old man looked very kind, and before he got close to Lu Chensheng, he smelled a strong scent of medicine.

"Old man, come and have a seat."

Seeing the person coming, Lu Chensheng quickly got up to greet him.

Seeing this, the old man immediately felt flattered. Although he had excellent medical skills, to these officials, he was actually just a doctor.

Now Lu Chensheng is so enthusiastic, which really makes him a little unexpected.

"Your Excellency, you are too polite. Please don't blame the grassroots for asking to see me."

The doctor is old and mature, although Lu Chensheng is so kind and looks like a corporal, but he still abides by the rules that should be observed.

"You don't have to be so polite, sit down first."

Lu Chensheng really didn't pay much attention to this etiquette, and asked the other party to sit down.

Kong Jici sat down, and Lu Chensheng poured him a cup of hot tea with his own hands.

Kong Jici felt a little flattered.

"I don't know why the miracle doctor came this time?"

Kong Jici didn't know why Lu Chensheng was so friendly to him, so he immediately sat upright when he heard the words.

"The main reason is that I heard that my lord is opening a medical clinic in the city, accepting medical apprentices, and imparting medical skills. Apart from admiration in my heart, I also want to do my part."

Kong Jici returned seriously.

He came here this time because of this matter.

"So the genius doctor came here this time to impart medical skills?"

Lu Chensheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and couldn't hold back the joy in his heart.

Kong Jici nodded, in fact, there is another aspect.

He knew the policy issued by Lu Chensheng, which greatly reduced the taxes of the common people, and it could even be said that there was no need at all.

He saw the joy of the people's harvest last year, and saw that the people had a good year during the New Year.

I also heard that Lu Chensheng is planning to open a medical clinic so that the common people can see their illnesses, so that the common people will not have no way to treat their illnesses after they get sick.

This is a good strategy for the benefit of the people.

Kong Jici came here because he wanted to meet Lu Chensheng and also wanted to do his bit.

Lu Chensheng was overjoyed when he heard this. Lu Chensheng asked carefully about the name of the other party's genius doctor. The name of genius doctor is definitely not something that needs to be passed on.

"If the miraculous doctor doesn't mind, I would ask the miraculous doctor to compile medical books and sort out Chinese medicine as a whole, so that all medical students can learn as soon as possible. What does the miraculous doctor think?"

The systematic regulation of this kind of knowledge is still extremely important.

Kong Jici was taken aback when he heard the words, his face was filled with joy at first, but in the end it turned into a look of shame.

"It's good, but Caomin doesn't have that much money."

Writing these books is extremely time-consuming and costly. Where does he have so much money as a doctor?

"It doesn't matter, the money will come out from below."

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he immediately said something.
