In Liu Xian's opinion, the most important things in economic policy are two points. One is a fair trade environment, and the other is minimizing the interference of power in the economy. If these two points can be achieved, economic development will not be too bad.

.

As for internal affairs, he accepted the concept of serving the people in the 21st century. Therefore, in Liu Xian's opinion, good internal affairs is to establish a government structure that can conveniently provide various services to the people.

Liu Xian was thinking and writing, his whole body and mind immersed in it.

Soon after, Liu Xian put his ideas into practice and promoted them throughout Hanoi County, making him unique in this precarious Han Dynasty.

Liu Xian carefully managed his territory and at the same time tried his best to build his own army. Time passed unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, two years passed.

On this day, the last day of October, Liu Xian's civilian and military generals gathered in the prefect's mansion to report to Liu Xian the latest achievements in domestic and military affairs this year.

Guo Lang said excitedly: "My lord, although the data on grain harvests in various places have not yet been fully calculated, the data obtained so far has already exceeded last year! It is expected that grain output this year will increase by 30% compared to last year, and it may be even more.

!”

When everyone heard this, they all looked happy.

Guo Lang continued: "In addition, this year, many large merchants have set up bases here in Luoyang, Xichuan, Hebei, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places, and business exchanges with various places continue to improve. Every day, there is a constant flow of caravans on the official road.

The scene is endless and prosperous!..."

Zhang Fei couldn't help but said: "Guo Lang, don't say these useless things, just tell us how our tax income this year compares to last year?" Everyone laughed.

Guo Lang smiled and said to Zhang Fei: "Third general, don't be anxious, wait for me to explain slowly."

Turning to Liu Xian, he clasped his fists and said, "This year, the tax revenue from salt and iron increased by 20% compared to last year..." Everyone was shocked, Zhang Fei stared and shouted: "So much?!"

Guo Lang said with a smile: "This is still a small amount. The tax revenue on cloth has increased by 40%, silk and satin has increased by 30%, pottery and lacquerware has increased by four layers, various leather goods have increased by 30%, and medicinal materials have also increased by 30%, and the other items have increased by 20% to 30%.

Between 30% and 30%. This year’s tax revenue as a whole will not decrease at all compared to last year, but will increase by about 30%!”

Everyone looked happy and excited.

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "I thought that my brother's cancellation of tariffs in various places would reduce our income a lot, but I didn't expect that it would increase so much!?"

Guo Lang looked at Liu Xian with admiration, clasped his fists and said, "This is all due to my lord's foresight! Without my lord's many policies to smooth commercial exchanges and protect fair trade, there would never have been such a good result!"

Others couldn't help but look at Liu Xian, and they all showed expressions of great admiration.

Liu Xian smiled and said, "Although our income has increased a lot, our expenses are also very huge. I guess our expenses this year will be slightly more than our income, right?" When he said this last sentence, Liu Xian's eyes changed.

He looked at Guo Lang.

Guo Lang nodded, clasped his fists and said, "My lord is wise, that's true. Since the work of expanding the city and establishing new villages and towns has not yet been completed, expenditures in this area are still continuing."

Guo Lang was talking about Liu Xian's expansion of Hanoi County and several surrounding cities, as well as the construction of new villages and towns. These measures were not only to resettle the people Liu Xian brought from Fanyang and the people who came from Montenegro, but also to resettle the people who continued to come.

Refugees in Hanoi County.

Guo Lang continued: "In addition, this year we have spent a lot of money and food on purchasing 10,000 war horses from the Huns, establishing pastures, building and transforming ordnance and equipment, building bridges and paving roads, etc. All these added up, we will still be here this year

There is some shortfall."

Then he smiled and said: "But I estimate that this situation will be greatly improved next year, and the financial benefits will turn to be healthy, so there is no need to worry too much!"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but said: "If the imperial court hadn't taken away so much money and food every year, we wouldn't be in a deficit!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel the same way.

Liu Xian looked at Guan Yu and asked: "Chang Yun, how is the situation of the army?"

Guan Yu cupped his fists and said: "Our army currently has more than 31,600 people. According to the Lord's wishes, we have not expanded the army. However, because we have devoted all our efforts to equip the army, our army is extremely well-equipped!" At this point,

Guan Yu's face was filled with pride.

He continued: "Among the 31,600 people, there are 5,000 heavy infantry and 8,000 cavalry. Each army has been training for a long time according to the methods formulated by the lord, and everyone is highly morale and eager to fight!"

Guan Yu only gave a brief summary and did not say many things. Liu Xian's army now has two combat groups. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are the generals of the two groups respectively. The two groups have a total of 30,000 people, and the infantry and cavalry configuration are the same.

, each with fifteen thousand people.

The other 1,600 people belonged to Liu Xian's personal bodyguards.

However, this personal guard force is divided into two groups, each with 800 people. One group is responsible for Liu Xian's daily guard work, but it has been trained by Liu Xian according to the most stringent training methods of later generations of special forces into a group that can

In any case special forces perform assassinations interspersed with infiltration raids.

This team was called the Black Team because they wore black clothes and black armor.

Another 800-man unit of the Guards was led by Dian Wei. Its predecessor was the earliest armored infantry. Now this infantry is further heavily armored. Everyone wears armor that almost covers the whole body, with additional armor on the inside.

Wearing a layer of chain armor, like an iron tower, holding an improved two-meter-long horse-killing sword, it is invincible in breaking through formations.

This unit also uses the most rigorous training methods of special forces in the 21st century to train physical fitness. However, in terms of combat, it does not train infiltration raids, but focuses on the ancient training of breaking formations and attacking fortresses, so this unit is called breaking the camp.

The broken camp and the black team can be said to be the two sharp swords in Liu Xian's hands at present, and they are the most elite troops under his command. However, it is a pity that these two elites have not yet had the opportunity to show their talents.

Liu Xian listened to the reports of his subordinates and had a heated discussion with everyone. The meeting lasted until almost noon and finally ended.

As everyone filed out, Liu Xian stretched out and prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest.

At this time, Li Rong walked in quickly, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, the imperial envoy has arrived."

Liu Xian quickly stood up and went out to greet him.

I saw a skinny eunuch in his forties standing at the gate surrounded by his entourage.

Liu Xian immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists with a smile and said, "I didn't know that the imperial envoy arrived, but I missed you from a distance. Please forgive me!"

The eunuch snorted, said nothing, raised his head and walked straight towards the door.

Liu Xian secretly thought: ‘This damn shemale is so arrogant!’ He led Li Rong after him and asked him to go straight into the hall.

The eunuch and his entourage entered the hall, and the entourage lined up on the left and right, while the eunuch unceremoniously walked up to the main seat above.
Chapter completed!
