The examiner has decided.

The whole court became quiet in an instant.

In fact, for such national affairs, the world is basically arbitrary, and even the prime ministers dare not say much.

Logically speaking, if the prime ministers serve as chief examiners, wouldn’t they let them form cliques and form cliques for personal gain?

If it were the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were basically six ministers, ministers and other middle-aged and young officials who served as the ministers. After all, they had little power and would not easily put pressure on the imperial power.

In fact, the pressure has not decreased, it has just moved backwards.

Moved to ten years later, twenty years later.

These young and middle-aged examiners were promoted to six ministers and nine ministers and even prime ministers, basically in two or three steps, seven or eight years.

When they were at the top, the Jinshi naturally grew up and were in the middle of the officialdom. In this way, the high school levels were connected to each other, which was enough to form a party relationship that was broken.

It is not the case that the prime ministers serve as chief examiners. They are already at the top, which means that the energy and age are gone. Even if they cultivate their power, they will retire long ago when they grow up.

Once every three years, the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall will go on one turn, which will promote the balance of the Political Affairs Hall and will not be the only one.

Of course, this is just an ideal state. Every new thing, new organization, and new idea needs to be practiced and can only be normal after years of operation.

If Li Jia finds out that this behavior is not conducive to imperial power, he will immediately curb it.

Two thousand juren, accompanied by their slaves and thousands of high consumers, entered Beijing, causing prices in Luoyang to soar.

But immediately after learning about this, the prefect of Luoyang immediately took out the position of Changping and sold it, and the prices stabilized.

The emperor praised this and the people were also happy.

The public security in the capital was overloaded during this period, but I still persisted and nothing went wrong.

Therefore, Li Jia specially called Li Huaien to praise her.

Regarding this, Li Huaien said with a reserved attitude: "I dare not take credit for my merits. This is due to the joint efforts of all my colleagues. I am just a merit of size."

"I'm not blind, I can still see your credit!"

The emperor shook his head disapprovingly, and then asked: "This time, I will ask you, Luoyang City, as a capital of a country, what are the shortcomings?"

Hearing this, Li Huaien fell into thinking.

Logically speaking, choosing Luoyang City is the result of the emperor's unremitting actions and is also inevitable due to the general trend.

In this case, Luoyang must be perfect and last suitable.

But for more than a year he served as the prefect of Luoyang, he felt very troublesome, and he could not tell the emperor one by one.

After thinking about it over and over again, he said, "Your Majesty, the only thing that can be called a worry in Luoyang is the population."

"population?"

Li Jia was quite surprised, looked at his capable general and said, "Isn't Luoyang the more people the better? Only when there are too many taxes can you collect!"

"Your Majesty, there are so many people, but Luoyang is not suitable for more people!"

Li Huaien said bitterly: "Since the establishment of Luoyang's capital, although the new city has been expanded, it is like a whirlpool, constantly absorbing the people of nearby prefectures and counties."

"It not only brings huge management difficulties, but also makes the nearby prefectures and counties lack manpower and the labor force at home, and farming becomes a problem."

This is how business development is.

When the population is small, it will absorb the already precious agricultural population, reclaim wasteland, farm, labor, and the army, and all require people and strong men.

At present, according to Li Jia's statistics, the national population is only more than 30 million, close to 40 million.

It seems quite a lot, but in fact, this is not enough for six or seven million square kilometers of land.

"The nearby prefectures and counties are already broken and lack of manpower, so that's fine. Even many people don't grow grain in the fields, but instead grow some fruits and vegetables all over the mountains and fields, just to supply Luoyang."

"This is very good! Fruits and vegetables can satisfy the lives of Luoyang people and bring more income to farmers, the best of both worlds!"

Li Jia thought about it and said that the income from growing grain is definitely not as good as that of growing vegetables and fruits, and more money-making cash crops, allowing the people to live a wealthy life. Isn’t that great?

"Your Majesty, what you say is not bad, but you know one thing, but you don't know the other."

At this time, Li Huaien didn't care about the emperor's identity. He seemed to have been suppressed for a long time and immediately expressed his feelings:

"As far as I know, Luoyang's population was only 300,000 in the eighth year of Shenwu, nine years, four hundred thousand, and five hundred thousand last year, plus the people who walked around, almost 700,000."

"The food consumed every month is about one million and a half million shi."

"In recent years, Henan Prefecture has transported less and less food, and almost all the food supplies supplied to Luoyang by recycled grains, which exceeds 50%."

Li Jia was quite surprised, looked at his capable general and said, "Isn't Luoyang the more people the better? Only when there are too many taxes can you collect!"

"Your Majesty, there are so many people, but Luoyang is not suitable for more people!"

Li Huaien said bitterly: "Since the establishment of Luoyang's capital, although the new city has been expanded, it is like a whirlpool, constantly absorbing the people of nearby prefectures and counties."
