Representing the Ministry of State Affairs and the inspection team were working in parallel, which made the fourth elder of the Ministry of State Affairs and Xue Rengui very busy. Fortunately, they had already sorted out the selection and appointment of the entire personnel representing the Ministry of State Affairs and the inspection team.
A large number of lists of people who have served as corvees have been collected by various states and governments. Most of these people who have served as corvees are civilians with innocent backgrounds and no power. The selection is quite accurate. After receiving the news, these farmers are all extremely happy.
Throughout the dynasties, emperors have always mentioned the idea that the people are the most valuable and the king is the least important, but have they ever been truly implemented?
All of them treated ordinary people like them as livestock. They used them to collect grain and tax when they had nothing to do. When they had nothing to do, they captured them as slaves and served as corvees. Basically, they didn't live many days of peace.
Now ordinary people can also participate in national affairs. How lucky is it?
Under the chairmanship of Fang Xuanling, the first batch of 120 representatives representing the Ministry of State quickly arrived from nearby state roads. After these people officially entered the Ministry of State to conduct political consultations or join the inspection and inspection team for decentralization
Before going to the various states and highways to inspect officials from various places, Fang Xuanling organized the Imperial College and the six ministries of the three provinces to arrange for them two full months to understand the situation of the entire Han Dynasty.
Related matters were also reported simultaneously by Chang'an Daily.
This day.
Zhao Wenwen, who was in charge of the general manager of the industrial city, entered Chang'an under the escort of Zhang Long and came to see Xue Yuanchao.
After handing over the greeting card, Xue Yuanchao hurriedly opened his mansion to welcome him.
"It turns out it's General Manager Zhao of the Industrial City. I've heard of the General Manager's name a long time ago. If it weren't for the General Manager's blessing, my Chang'an Daily wouldn't be as big as it is now. Speaking of which, I have to express my gratitude."
When Zhao Wensheng first saw the newspaper office where Chang'an Daily was located, he saw that the land there was at least more than 20 acres and the staff was no less than 300 people. He also saw that Xue Yuanchao was young, only eighteen years old, and he couldn't help but admire him.
He was even more moved when he saw Xue Yuanchao coming in a hurry after hearing that he had come to his door. He even wore his shoes inside out.
"I didn't expect that the young hero Xue Baolang would be able to hold such a great responsibility at such an age. He has received His Majesty's grace and spread the world's affairs. Zhao has admired him for a long time. How can he dare to ask Xue Baolang to thank him?" These words were from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you for your praise. In just a few months, our Chang'an Daily has not only spread throughout Chang'an, but also reached Hedong Road, Shannan Road, Gyeonggi Road and other provinces that are relatively close to Chang'an. Thanks to the great help of Manager Zhao, otherwise there would be such a big news
What’s the printing volume? Manager Zhao, we need to deepen our cooperation.”
General Manager Zhao laughed. The reason for his visit today was for this matter. Unexpectedly, he let Xue Yuanchao speak first. He continued: "Xue Baolang is really a prophet of the unknown. I am here just to seek cooperation."
"Oh?" Xue Yuanchao heard that there was something going on and said quickly: "That would be great. Manager Zhao, please come in and talk."
Entering the Chang'an Daily newspaper office, Zhao Wenshu found that although there were many people here, they were all arranged in an orderly manner by Xue Yuanchao. The entire newspaper office was divided into the east and west courtyards. The east courtyard was a busy place for writing books, specifically for writing articles published by Chang'an Daily.
For each article, the West Campus is where the newspaper is produced, printed, and distributed.
The newspaper office will send people to the Industrial City overnight to prepare the format. After the Industrial City gets the format, it will be fully reprinted. This is how the Chang'an Daily has such a huge volume.
After entering the inner palace, Xue Yuanchao asked the stewards in the palace to prepare tea. According to the system and requirements announced by Qin Huaidao, Chang'an Daily had taken the lead in eliminating the servants. Whether they were writers, workers or stewards here, they were all equals.
Seeing this, Zhao Wenwen was quite cordial. This was similar to the customs in Qinjiazhuang and Industrial City. There was no official rank among people, and they were all members of the Qin family as long as they came here.
"Although Xue Baolang has not long been serving the emperor, he has the character of your majesty, which makes Zhao admire him." He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, savoring it carefully in his mouth. Isn't this the best tea cooked by your majesty?
Tea? Unexpectedly, the newspaper office also had it. Surprised, he mentioned his cooperation intention to Xue Yuanchao: "To be honest, now the plan to restart the industrial city has been fully realized. According to His Majesty's plan for the entire industrial city, the next
Come down and I will enter the second step."
"What are the follow-up plans for Industrial City?" Xue Yuanchao was particularly curious. Both Qinjiazhuang and Industrial City were mysterious and legendary existences before His Majesty ascended the throne. Now that the restart has not only brought him a lot of help, but also has a follow-up plan?
Zhao Wenwen nodded in affirmation.
"That's right, when your Majesty left Beijing, he gave me an expansion plan for the industrial city. Now the Han Dynasty is full of waste and is waiting for development. The technologies that your Majesty learned in the pre-Qin Cave Mansion that far exceed today's industrial standards must not be leaked. If they fall into
There is a risk of disaster at the hands of outsiders, so all supply and demand must be produced from the industrial city. With the current scale of the industrial city, it cannot be satisfied at all. The expansion of the industrial city is imperative."
"Under His Majesty's plan, the entire industrial city will be expanded to four times its current size. In addition to the existing industrial city foundation, Qinjiazhuang will also be absorbed into it and divided into east and west cities, and then the surrounding areas will be divided into two.
We will absorb the land, build the north and south cities, and use the land of the four cities to defend the construction, forming a brand new industrial city!"
"Four, four times?" Xue Yuanchao had heard about the size of the industrial city from Chu Suiliang before. He said that the population was huge, with tens of thousands of households. After the subsequent expansion plan, wouldn't the number of households in the entire industrial city be more than 20?
Ten thousand households?
It would be a super big city with far more households in the entire Han Dynasty than in various prefectures.
"Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, which is beyond our reach." Xue Yuanchao sighed.
"That's natural," Zhao Wenwen sighed: "If you have seen His Majesty dare to fight against the 20,000 troops secretly accumulated by the Turks in the court with only a few people, you will know even more about His Majesty's brilliance, even if it is called
Even a saint cannot reach it."
Qin Huaidao's experience in Zhaojiabao after he led his men to arrest him is still vivid in his mind.
What about the God of War of the Tang Dynasty? How many people can surpass His Majesty’s grace?
The two talked for a while, and then Xue Yuanchao took the initiative to speak: "Since the industrial city needs to be expanded four times, I think General Manager Zhao did not come to my office just to report to me. If there is anything I need Xue to do, please let me know."
Of course there is a lot to do, but there is no rush.
He held up his hands and said: "Of course, there are two things that require Xue Baolang's cooperation in the expansion of the industrial city. One is related to Chang'an Daily. Xue Baolang's Chang'an Daily is now booming. I wonder if you have any further ideas?"
Xue Yuanchao smiled and said: "Your Majesty asked me to create Chang'an Daily, just in the hope that one day Chang'an Daily can be distributed throughout the country."
"Then with this expansion of the Industrial City, the printing volume of Chang'an Daily can also be increased four to six times. With such a huge volume, I would like to ask Xue Baolang to recruit corresponding manpower to transport Chang'an Daily to the entire Han Dynasty."
