Not only the equipment on the body, but even the mount Liu Xuan wanted to bring a huge change to the Yulin Cavalry. This change is not just to make the mount stronger like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but a real change.

According to Zhang Liao's current definition and training of the Yulin Cavalry, Liu Xuan thought of another direction, which was the "air strike" force.

To attack the enemy without the enemy being able to attack you, in addition to relying on the foot power of the war horse to quickly get out of the opponent's attack range, there is also the need to be condescending - but being condescending is mostly achieved by terrain in wars of this era.

, but Liu Xuan was thinking of another direction: flying!

This was a flash of inspiration. He wanted to dress up the Yulin Cavalry to make it look better, but suddenly the species 'Pegasus' came to mind.

"I do still retain part of the Pegasus bloodline, but integrating it into ordinary horses and ultimately creating a race that does not exist on earth is not something that happens overnight."

Despite the difficulties, Liu Xuan still had great enthusiasm for this, especially when he thought of a large group of people wearing gorgeous armor, sitting on Pegasus flying in the sky and shooting arrows downwards...

"Habayashi Qi will work hard in this direction from now on!"

He looked at Zhang Liao, finally patted his shoulder, and finally said this.

Zhang Liao didn't know what kind of scene Liu Xuan was thinking about. He was still worried about how to keep the Yulin Cavalry in combat while still looking powerful and glorious.

Of course, if the medicine given by the emperor is very effective, then it would not be a big deal for Yulin Cavalry to wear armor. At most, he would just wear light armor.

This day passed with Zhang Liao's constant thinking and Liu Xuan's random thoughts about the future. On the next day, Liu Xuan specially recruited Xun You into the palace.

"Today, the northwest is under the control of the imperial court. As the Minister of Household Affairs, Gongda has any thoughts on the governance of people's livelihood?"

This issue has been discussed in the court, but most of it is a cliché and there is nothing new. Most of the really useful suggestions are put forward in private and then discussed before being brought to the court.

Go up and make a decision on whether to implement it or not.

After all, all matters that have to be dealt with in the court are major matters, and decisions can basically be made on the same day. This kind of issue that has no results after being discussed is not suitable to be discussed in the court.

It has been two years since Liu Xuan ascended the throne, and he has gradually become clearer about these things. He called Xun You here today to discuss matters concerning people's livelihood.

"First, according to your Majesty's instructions, encourage the people to cultivate fields, and at the same time provide sufficient help, including providing farm tools and cattle!" Originally, the court bosses suggested exempting the northwest counties from taxes.

After all, these places have been harmed by Li Jue and Guo Si for several years, and now they have experienced war and agriculture has been abandoned. It will take at least one to two years to recover. During this period, it will be difficult for the people to feed themselves. If they still

If taxes are levied, people will probably flee their hometowns and go elsewhere.

But Liu Xuan didn't nod. The emperor didn't agree, and they and the ministers couldn't do anything. However, Liu Xuan was not really cruel to exploit these ordinary people, but issued a new decree: "Take out all the grain in stock to replenish it."

Each county needs it to ensure that there will be no trouble due to food problems in various places."

Because there had been two consecutive years of bumper harvests around Chang'an, the imperial court now had a lot of grain in stock. Liu Xuan felt that it would be a waste to store the grain, so he kept the necessary part and transported the grain to various places to provide relief to the 'disaster victims'.

As for the issue of taxes, Liu Xuan just said: "Taxes can be reduced but cannot be eliminated!" and he concluded. After hearing this, the court officials felt that this did not seem to make a big difference, but since the emperor had spoken, they should do it.

Especially since Ma Zi was beheaded neatly by Liu Xuan earlier, all the princes in the current court also have a general understanding of Liu Xuan's temper. They know that the emperor is young, has a bad temper, and likes to be straightforward when doing things.

If you don't care about it, you will really kill people if you really piss it off. Besides, this matter is not a big deal in the first place. At most, a few young people who have lost their minds from studying are chattering away, saying that the emperor is too cruel and does not do anything.

Benevolent government may not be a blessing to the court.

These remarks will naturally reach Liu Xuan's ears, but the Han Dynasty was quite free in speech, and Liu Xuan couldn't bear to compete with a few idiots - of course, if these guys really annoyed him, Liu Xuan wouldn't mind following suit.

'Zulong' dug a big hole and buried them all.

Xun You was also a little puzzled by Liu Xuan's actions, but he did not ask any more questions and just put forward his own suggestions: "Now the people have suffered several military disasters, and in the past few years there have been several natural disasters. After many hardships, the people want to

To have a peaceful and stable living environment, as long as your Majesty can do this, the people of Yongliang will be happy."

The imperial court's reputation over the years has not been very good, especially after the disasters caused by the two previous ones. The people in the world have neither enough to eat nor clothing to keep warm. Naturally, they have no good impression of the Han Dynasty, the ruler of the world - otherwise they would not be open to the public.

It is exaggerated to say that there are hundreds of thousands of followers for one incident.

So although the imperial court controls Yongliang, the people's hearts...

Of course, Liu Xuan also understands that it is easy to win over the people these days. You can provide them with food, clothing, shelter, and a place to live, and that's it.

Liu Xuan has already begun to solve the problem of food. He even started to implement a rationing system in the northwest! Because Tianshui and other counties had just acquired it and had no food in stock, the people had nothing to eat. Now it is winter again, which is the most difficult to endure, and

The imperial court has enough stock. If it uses some of it to ensure that the people can survive first, and then resumes farming and so on after the winter, so that the people have something to do, then the place will be considered stable.

The problem of food is temporarily solved, and when grain seeds are distributed, the people in the northwest will not have to worry about their food problems next year. Now Liu Xuan does not need to do anything else, just wait.

The next headache is clothing and housing.

The problem of clothing can be easily solved by asking the court to distribute some cold-proof items to the poor people, so that they can survive this winter.

But the problem of accommodation...

The weather in the north is cold, especially in winter, and countless people freeze to death. Xun You can't do anything about it - he is fighting against the sky, and human power seems so weak at this time.

Normally, Xun You would have no choice but to ignore it, but things are different today. He is a man who knows the methods of gods. Could it be that he still can't solve such a problem?

Liu Xuan indeed has many ways to solve this problem. Whether it is to let all the people practice cultivation to improve their physical fitness, or to use various means to create a warm environment that can isolate the cold, they can solve this problem.

But none of these methods can be effective now. Perhaps the simplest way is to propose the fire kang, a 'sharp tool' for winter in the north.

But what this method really solves is the problem of accommodation and warmth for soldiers and the winter problems of some wealthy families. It prevents soldiers from unnecessary attrition due to the cold winter and allows those wealthy families to live more comfortably in winter.

"In this way, let the soldiers stationed in each county build a big house in each pavilion. There is no need for anything else inside. Just build this kind of fire kang, so that nearby residents can stay warm in the winter!"

Originally, this heated kang should have been popularized in every household, but people at this time could not afford to burn so much firewood, not to mention that the things needed to build a heated kang were not something ordinary families could scrape together at this time.

So we simply resorted to centralized system. It was a bit hard, but it gave these people a hope and they had the motivation to persevere - don't underestimate people's desire for survival. In the past, everyone thought there was no hope.

So many people simply gave up on survival. Now if they see that they can live, no one is willing to die.

Even if the Datongpu hut built could not allow everyone to go in and keep warm, as long as they had the opportunity to go in, they would be able to survive the most painful period.

More importantly, with such a house, everyone has something to do. They need to search for firewood every day. This activity is better than sitting in a drafty home.

"In short, it is to let the people have something to do, have hope, and let them experience it for themselves. As long as they work hard, they will be able to taste the sweetness. Over time, the northwest will regain prosperity!"

Xun You also agreed very much with the emperor's remarks. In fact, these are very simple principles. However, it is not easy for the emperor to understand these things when he is young and has never lived outside.

Especially the suggestions put forward by the emperor should actually be considered by the grassroots officials. Unexpectedly, the emperor could think of these things.

Too casual in front of me.

After talking with Xun You for a while, the people's livelihood matters were finally settled. The final tone was set: survive this winter, and then resume farming as soon as spring starts tomorrow. The goal for the entire next year is to restore the food supply in the northwest region.

Give birth and then think about other things.

If this happens, Liu Xuan's plan to improve the technical level of his territory will have to be postponed, but it has to be done.

With such a tone, Xun You knew how to do his work, not to mention Liu Xuan put forward some miscellaneous suggestions. Although it sounded a bit messy, it was not impossible to use them after sorting them out.

"By the way, now that there is plenty of food, shouldn't it be time for Your Majesty to consider the currency system?"

When Liu Xuan heard this, he remembered that the economic system of the Han Dynasty had collapsed long ago. The coins minted by the court could not be circulated at all. What the people recognized was food, and the slightly wealthy families recognized some precious jewelry, gold and silver.

.

After thinking about it, even if the economy is ruined, let's just build a new one.

"What do Gongda think about using gold and silver as currency?"
