State Palace Mansion, Study Room.

Wang Lei summoned all the major officials under his command, including Xun Chen, who returned from Chang'an, and everyone was present.

The eyes passed by the people present, Wang Lei coughed lightly, and in an instant, the room became quiet. Wang Lei threw a brick and said, "I invited you here today to adjust the focus of Jizhou's work. The war has come to an end for the time being. Next, while strengthening the military's strength, the focus is more on restoring production and appeaseing the people. If you have any suggestions, you can speak freely."

Du Ji followed Wang Lei for the longest time and knew Wang Lei's character best. Without any hesitation, Du Ji said: "The lord is just in charge of Jizhou, and the people do not understand the lord. In order to make the lord grateful, I suggest reducing the tax. In this way, the people will be grateful to the lord."

Wang Lei nodded slightly, agreeing with Du Ji's statement.

This is a means often used by those in power to appease the people and win over the people's hearts.

Now that you have just taken office, you can take measures to reduce taxes.

Tian Feng looked calm and said in a deep voice: "Reducing taxes will help the people, but if you want to enrich the granary, it is far from enough to reduce taxes. The best way is to farm farms, combine the people and soldiers, and enrich the granary to the greatest extent."

Wang Lei thought for a moment and replied: "Winter is gone, spring is coming, and it is almost time for spring plowing. The matter of farming can be put on the agenda. Since Mr. Tian has an idea, Mr. Tian will preside over the matter of farming, draft a charter and discuss it carefully."

"Abide by the order!"

Tian Feng responded excitedly that military farming will play an immeasurable role in the development of Jizhou.

Jizhou has a fertile land of thousands of miles. If you use it a little, you will definitely achieve a great harvest.

Xun Chen brushed his wrinkled robe and continued: "Sir, to enhance the influence of Jizhou, the people living and working in peace are one of them. In addition to having enough food and clothing, they also need to have a brilliant literary style to greatly develop Jizhou."

Wang Lei became interested in an instant and asked, "Mr. Youruo means to build academy in Ye County?"

Wang Lei is very interested in building academy.

There are two most famous academies in the Three Kingdoms. One is Yingchuan Academy, which has produced Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Xun Yu and others, forming a think tank group under Cao Cao; the other is Lumen Academy, which has produced Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and others, forming a think tank group under Liu Bei.

It is also good to build a college in Jizhou. Xun Chen shook his head and said, "Sir, the rise of a college cannot be completed in one or two years. Famous teachers are one of the reasons for attracting young talents. The deeper reason is that the disciples taught can become famous all over the world and further increase the popularity of the academy. It is very difficult for adults to build a college now. Even if it is completed, there may not be many great scholars coming to Jizhou. If I remember well, the adults write well, which is what the lord should use."

"Oh, Mr. Youruo knows my words?"

Wang Lei blinked, and his words didn't seem to be circulating!

Xun Chen's eyes were extremely excited and said in admiration: "Hanzhou Mu likes calligraphy, everyone knows that. How could he not promote his words after reading the lord's characters? The lord's characters are a temporary trend, and he can call on people who like calligraphy to observe and learn. From point to surface, through calligraphy, Jizhou has gradually been built into an academic holy land."

Wang Lei nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Xun Chen's statement. I have to say that Xun Chen's suggestions are very good.

It is too difficult to build a college directly!

The only way is to build the academic status of Jizhou step by step.

Wang Lei was happy and ordered: "Mr. Youruo was born in Yingchuan and has a family background. You are the most powerful in academics. This matter will be handled by Mr. Youruo."

"yes!"

Xun Chen nodded and sat down.

Ju Su changed his subject and said, "The lord, farming and gathering talents all take some time to prepare. Jizhou was initially determined and recommended the issuance of the 'Application Order for Seeking Talents' to call on the world to come to Jizhou. If the lord wants to achieve great achievements, only by attracting talents can the foundation of Jizhou become more and more powerful."

Wang Lei said: "It is a good suggestion to issue an order for seeking talents, but it must be strictly controlled. Mr. Ju must grasp this situation well, and please prepare a charter. I will try it out for a period of time after reading it."

"As for the order!"

Ju Su responded and thought about how to improve the order to seek talents?

Shen Pei's expression was cold and solemn, and said, "Lord, all the people mentioned good things about development. They are humble and rude, and they can't come up with exquisite ideas. They can only make suggestions to prevent problems from happening. Jizhou was decided at the beginning, and I was worried that officials would fall into the land of gentleness, so I must sound the alarm for officials to prevent problems from happening from happening, and we must start from the beginning."

Wang Lei thought to himself that Shen Pei is worthy of being a righteous person and is the material for punishing corrupt officials.

As soon as you open your mouth, you have to deal with corrupt officials.

Wang Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Shen's suggestions are very important. Integrity in officialdom is the foundation of Jizhou's development. Once the foundation is broken, it is impossible to develop it. Mr. Shen prepares a charter and prepares for implementation."

"Abide by the order!"

After reviewing and thinking carefully about your suggestions.

Zhen Yan glanced at the people present and said, "If Jizhou wants to develop, I think business is also indispensable."

When he spoke, Zhen Yan was slightly less confident. Compared with the officials present, Zhen Yan did not have a prominent family background or had enough fame. He was even just a businessman. In this era of scholars, farmers, workers and businessmen, the status of merchants was low, so Zhen Yan was very nervous, worried that his proposal would be refuted as soon as it came out.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Shen Pei said ruthlessly, "The merchants act without regard for the consequences. The lord, the merchants are good at engaging in business. Once the merchants gather in Jizhou, it is more likely that the officials will have problems. Please strictly control them!"

Tian Feng suggested: "Businessmen should encourage business, but they must be strictly controlled."

Shen Pei and Tian Feng opposed it, and Zhen Yan's heart suddenly sank.

Wang Lei glanced at Zhen Yan who was nervous and said, "Mr. Shen, Mr. Tian, ​​merchants seek wealth, scholars seek fame, after all, they are all seeking profits. Merchants have concerns about the country and the people, and scholars have corrupt officials, and they cannot beat people up with one stone. If Jizhou is prosperous and prosperous, merchants are indispensable. We can choose a city at will. If the city is prosperous, business will surely prosper. On the contrary, if the merchants don't go, the people's lives will not be able to live well."

A simple truth, Shen Pei and Tian Feng do not say anything, does not mean recognition.

Wang Lei looked at Zhen Yan and said encouragemently: "Do it boldly and don't be scruples."

Shen Pei frowned and said, "Sir..."

Wang Lei had a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen, the official's stance is firm, what are you afraid of? Merchants are not frightening beasts, there is no need to be afraid." In a word, Shen Pei stopped talking. Next, he discussed the rest of the matter, which were related to Jizhou, and it lasted from early morning to evening.

After the matter was arranged, Wang Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
