Chapter 76 Implementing the New Deal

"Your Majesty, the general of the Uncle asked to fight again. I beg your Majesty to lead his army to siege the Chu State." Headed by Ye Hongyuan, a group of the generals of the frontier army in Hengcheng knelt down and said.

Stepping down the Chu State.

Why doesn’t Li Xiaoyao want to flatten it?

It was only after these wars that Li Xiaoyao realized that war is far from as simple as a single sentence.

In terms of military ration supply alone, it is a headache.

The Han Dynasty has mountainous land and rugged roads. It is indeed a huge cost to transport large amounts of food.

If the war starts again, it will not only make the people suffer, but also make the army alone. If the logistics supply cannot keep up, it will be in vain. If one is not good, it may lead to the defeat of the army.

Therefore, what Li Xiaoyao has to do now is not to start a war, but to implement a new policy to make the Han Dynasty truly stronger first.

This time, the victory of several wars he was able to win was first because the enemy underestimated the enemy. Secondly, the Han army occupied the right time, place and people. These wars all took place within the Han territory.

For the Han army, whether it is the dispatch of troops or logistics supply, it can quickly keep up.

"The attack on Chu State will be released for the time being." Li Xiaoyao continued: "Now the military strength of Chu and Zhao is not as strong as before. It is impossible to launch a large-scale war within one or two years. Therefore, I will implement the new policy during this period to make the Han State essentially stronger."

"New Deal?" The officials in the palace were surprised: "What is the New Deal?"

Li Xiaoyao, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at the noisy scene in the store, couldn't help but shake his head, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, civil and military schools will be opened in various counties and counties of the Han Dynasty."

"All people of our Han Kingdom, over six years old and under eighteen, must enter the school to learn martial arts and knowledge, and the fees are paid by the national treasury."

"The school starts twice a year, each lasting three months. Try to arrange the start time when the school starts is not a busy farming period."

"This matter is the responsibility of the Minister of Personnel and Wu Daozi."

"No..." Wu Daozi, who was standing in the civil minister's queue, left the line and replied.

He has now been named Minister of Personnel, but he still holds the position of the Lord of the Secret Guard and Yingtang Hall

"Ye Hongyuan, Minister of War!" Li Xiaoyao shouted.

"I am here!" Ye Hongyuan stepped out, bowed with his hands, and bowed slightly.

"From now on, conscription offices will be set up in various counties of the Han Dynasty. All the people of the Han Dynasty, aged 18 to 20, must be ordered to serve in the military for two years. During the military service, the corresponding military pay will be paid monthly. Those who have served in the military for two years can retire and go home."

"No..." Ye Hongyuan withdrew the order and retreated back to the queue.

"Minister of Rites Lin Shicang!" Li Xiaoyao said.

"I am here!" Lin Shicang went out and bowed with his hands, bowing slightly.

"From now on, the Han Dynasty will resume scientific examinations, and additional military examinations and cultural examinations will be added. The theme is to discuss how the Han Dynasty can revive and strengthen. It mainly focuses on how to improve the national strength of the Han Dynasty, how to improve the quality of life of the people, etc...."

"The martial arts examination mainly focuses on how to fight, such as large-scale plain combat, how to set up formations, such as large-scale siege battles, how to win, etc...."

"No..." Lin Shicang replied.

"Chen Guoliang, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"I am here!" Chen Guoliang stepped out, bowed with his hands, and bowed slightly.

"From now on, the salaries of officials in Han Dynasty will double. If any officials are corrupt in the future, they will confiscate all their property and be sent to the southwest border to build a reservoir."

"No..." Chen Guoliang replied and retreated to the queue.

"Wei Shifang, Minister of Justice!" Li Xiaoyao said.

"I am here!" Wei Shifang stepped out, bowed with his hands, and bowed slightly.

"Take the new Han Dynasty law and give it to him!" Li Xiaoyao turned his head and said to the little eunuch.

Immediately, the little eunuch took out a not-too-thick booklet from the box beside him and walked towards Wei Shifang in the hall.

This booklet records some Chinese laws written down by Li Xiaoyao based on his memories of his previous life, such as killing people trying their lives.

However, some laws have also been changed. After all, the Han Dynasty is still in a feudal society, and many laws that are too avant-garde are inappropriate at the moment.

For example, thieves, thieves, and any prisoner will be taken to build a reservoir for two years before they can be released.

"This law book is the new law of our Han Kingdom in the future. You will send the contents of this booklet to every household in the Han Kingdom in the form of documents, and send the government runners of each county and county government to every household to promote it."

"No..." Wei Shifang replied, then retreated back to the queue.

"My ministers, these are the new policies implemented by our Han Dynasty. If someone dares not comply with the new policies, or fails to implement these new policies in various counties, don't blame me for not remembering the feelings of the monarch and ministers."

Li Xiaoyao's face turned cold and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.

"No!" the ministers knelt down and said.

"Hmm?" Looking at Liu Guodong who was still standing there, Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly: "Liu Guodong, what's wrong with you?"

"Your Majesty, although the series of new policies you have issued are for the welfare of the people of the Han Dynasty, the treasury is now empty, and I am afraid that the new policies will be difficult to implement." Liu Guodong said.

"Chen Guoliang, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue." Li Xiaoyao shouted coldly.

"I'm here." Chen Guoliang, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up and replied.

"What's wrong with the empty treasury?" Li Xiaoyao looked cold and looked down at him and asked.

"Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne and don't know much about the current national conditions of the Han Dynasty. In fact, the treasury has been in a state of deficit over the years." After Chen Guoliang finished speaking, he looked at Ye Hongyuan diagonally opposite and continued: "I believe that what I am saying is Mr. Ye, the Minister of War, should have a deep understanding of what he said."

"Your Majesty, what Secretary Chen said is true. In the past few years, the border troops of Hengcheng have never received military pay from the court. Only a while ago, Empress Dowager Lu sent some military pay to win over the weak ministers." Ye Hongyuan said.

Li Xiaoyao was silent for a while. Although he had wealth that was as rich as a country, he had a black armored army of hundreds of thousands, and now his expenses were getting bigger and bigger, and he was suffering.

He replied to the gods and said, "The new policy must be implemented as scheduled. As for money, I will solve it, and you don't need to worry."

"No!" All civil and military officials knelt on the ground, and once again shocking waves arose in their hearts.

Several ministers looked at Prime Minister Liu Guodong in confusion, but from Liu Guodong's eyes, they saw the same doubt as them.

Liu Guodong is among their old ministers, who is closest to His Majesty, and he thought he would know something, but now it seems that he, like other ministers, know nothing.

The young majesty in front of them really made them unable to see through or guess.

"Retreat the court." Li Xiaoyao stood up, and then the little eunuch beside him shouted sternly towards the hall: "Retreat the court..."

The civil and military officials knelt down and lowered their heads and shouted: "Long live my emperor."
