Following Zhang Heng's explanation, everyone understood what he meant.
His blacksmith relative leased the land.
The reason why his relative was able to engage in the blacksmith business as a farmer was also because of his secret operations.
In order to explain the situation, Zhang Heng also exposed some minor nastiness.
Song Yang smiled and said: "The household registration restrictions on ordinary people are indeed too big."
"Even if you are a craftsman family, not every generation will be a craftsman."
"If you meet a clumsy junior, then the skill will be lost."
"Even if it is not lost, it will definitely be inferior to the previous generation."
"But the common people are seeking profit. If the craftsmen make great profits, they may flock to him like birds of prey." Chen Fu shook his head and said.
Song Yang knew that their thoughts could not be completely changed.
Of course, the point mentioned by Chen Fu is indeed a small problem.
"So we must guide the people appropriately."
"For example, during this year's autumn harvest, the government came forward to provide sufficient remuneration to guide the people to focus on the autumn harvest."
"The same method can be used to cultivate and guide craftsmen. When people flock to the craftsmen, we can reduce the income of some craftsmen through macro-level adjustments, such as reducing the investment in some projects."
"In this way, the craftsmen's profits are very low, so naturally no one cares about them."
"This approach can be called macro-control."
Song Yang threw out a new concept.
Although the term macro-control appears for the first time, in fact, some macro-control matters have been carried out in all dynasties.
"But Your Majesty, this... macro-control, judging from the experience of past generations, the effect is not significant..." Qiao Jinglong frowned.
"At that time, it was because they didn't understand the market or the national conditions!" Song Yang emphasized.
"The so-called regulation is not one-size-fits-all, but slow and appropriate changes to certain policies."
“Looking at the macro-control policies of past dynasties, most of them were reflected in reforms.”
"When the country needs to use reforms to solve problems, it means that the problem has become extremely profound."
"If we continue to reasonably avoid risks through appropriate regulation as the situation develops, there will be no problem of accumulation of contradictions."
"this……"
Chen Fu and Qiao Jinglong stopped talking. They fell into deep thought, pondering Song Yang's words.
"Your Majesty, I seem to understand." Liu Huairen, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly said.
"My lords, the prince is right, the household registration is dead and the people are alive. If the household registration system is abolished and the people's life direction is guided through macro-control, there should be no wasteland or waste of work."
"But there is a premise for this. Those who formulate policies must always remain... um... shrewd."
Having said this, Liu Huairen paused briefly and continued:
"This... is like sailing a boat. The helmsman is responsible for the direction, and the crew is responsible for rowing."
"No matter how hard the crew rows, the direction of the ship is always controlled by the helmsman."
After Liu Huairen finished speaking, everyone was a little surprised.
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "What Mr. Liu said is true. Your Majesty is the helmsman of this ship."
Everyone listened and nodded.
Song Yang shook his head and said with a smile: "I am just one of the people at the helm!"
"You are all in charge!" Song Yang looked at everyone and said.
"We... are also at the helm?" Everyone looked at each other and then laughed.
But no, they are making policies here, so they are the ones at the helm.
"Okay, okay. We can not discuss the household registration system for the time being. Even if it is to be implemented, it will have to wait until the world is completely settled."
"This time, let's think of it as putting the problem out in advance, so that everyone can think about it carefully after we go back."
"We will discuss this matter at next year's meeting."
Through some conversations just now, Song Yang also knew that now is indeed not the best time to reform household registration.
The main problem is the lack of control and the serious shortage of yamen.
If something really goes wrong, the current government capabilities may not be able to achieve macro-control.
After listening to Song Yang's words, everyone relaxed and suddenly focused on reforming the household registration system, which they were not prepared for.
After everyone chatted for a while, the meeting returned to the main topic.
Song Yang thought for a moment and said, "We just discussed so much, and we just settled a few small things."
"The real big things are about to start now."
"Well, let me, the king, preside over the matters to be discussed later."
After the previous discussion and speech, Song Yang gradually entered the state.
"This meeting mainly discusses our Jiangzhou's recent reconstruction situation and its development direction in the future."
"For the sake of convenience, we will now divide the issues to be discussed into several aspects."
"First, let's discuss economic and agricultural issues."
"The autumn grain harvest has just been discussed."
"Now let's talk about urban reconstruction and material production and search."
By this time, the meeting had reached a new level.
Song Yang started his talk by talking about traveling, which aroused the thinking and speaking abilities of everyone attending the meeting.
Now that the issues are classified and discussed in detail, you will be able to speak your mind better.
Of course, the effect is also very obvious.
After Song Yang finished speaking, everyone immediately expressed their opinions.
The method of speaking is still to take turns, speak when you have something to say, and express your attitude when you have nothing to say.
The economic aspects were quickly discussed.
Overall it can be summed up in five points.
First, the autumn grain harvest is mainly based on harvesting existing crops.
The cultivation of winter wheat is left to the old and the weak.
Ensure food reserves to the greatest extent.
Second, continue to implement relief-for-work programs.
In a state of emergency, all supplies are mobilized by the government.
Then the only source of income for the common people is to work for the government.
The government guided the reconstruction work and distributed food to the people.
This approach will continue.
There will be no changes at least until the autumn harvest.
Third, vigorously develop hydraulic machinery, especially agricultural hydraulic machinery.
Prepare in advance for bone removal and grain harvesting after the autumn harvest.
Fourth, the search team expanded the search area.
On the one hand, we should find out the population and economic situation in Jiangzhou as soon as possible.
On the other hand, you also need to have a grasp of the situation in surrounding states and counties.
The focus of the search shifted from food to other supplies.
Such as cloth, copper, iron, medicinal materials and other practical daily necessities and means of production.
At the same time, special attention should be paid to the retention of various resource mines.
This is the material basis for future urban revitalization.
The fifth point is the development of other supplementary economies.
Such as hunting, fishing, gathering, processing of agricultural and sideline products and growing vegetables.
As society gradually stabilizes, economic types will gradually increase.
In particular, people's pursuit of dietary diversity will become more and more obvious.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop some auxiliary diets to meet the needs of the people.
Finally, about currency.
Song Yang acted arbitrarily and announced that currency transactions would continue to be suspended.
Gold, silver, and copper are only collected by the government as supplies.
Economic discussions are very efficient and everyone has some experience in this aspect.
Through suggestions and supplements, everything had been discussed by noon.
Song Yang looked at Tong Qian who was shouting from exhaustion and felt a little embarrassed.
They were discussing Hisen, but they ignored the huge amount of work done by the secretary Tong Qianmeizi.
"Well... take a break for now and continue in the afternoon."
"Also, you should write down all your thoughts this afternoon!"
"What's the point of letting Xiaoqian record it all by herself!"
Song Yang said with a straight face.
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty is right!" Everyone nodded hurriedly.
