Chapter 1220

When Zhang Yu returned to Peiping, the new capital, he was very energetic.

As soon as Zhang Yu returned to Peiping, he simply held a cabinet meeting to let the cabinet deal with certain things.

"Now that the world war is basically over, the next step is to let the people rest and recuperate. From now on, without major changes, the cabinet can handle its daily affairs well."

"But there are two things that need to be carried out immediately. Let them retire and build roads. After two years, they have accumulated a lot of money. Then let them go back and give them some land to live a good life.

In addition, some retired directly as police and armed police, but this part can not digest many people.

More of them are going to retire and become farmers.

This needs to be done slowly. Nowadays, local governments are not efficient enough to retire too many people at once.

The retirement of the army needs to be done slowly. There is a process. These are all people who have made great contributions to the Empire. They can't be used up and given some money to get rid of.

They must be properly arranged so that they can live a better life when they go back.

A few cabinet members can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After so long tossing, they are also very tired and have endless affairs to deal with every day.

Now Zhang Yu began to recuperate and toss.

Although it is not a toss, there are still many problems to be solved.

After dealing with these things, it is estimated that it will be almost done.

Now the whole empire is in good condition and can develop slowly.

After Zhang Yu came back, he always mixed with the Hougong. He was a fool all day. He dealt with government affairs once in three days. Most of the time, he mixed with several wives of the Hougong.

This is half a year.

In the past six months, the Empire has been developing steadily, and all kinds of affairs are very good.

The most important thing is that all provinces and cities have gradually completed the replenishment, officials have been in place one after another, and all departments have been operating.

There are many problems in this process, which need to be dealt with slowly.

It's hard work to deal with it. We have to deal with it and run in slowly.

In fact, each place has been running in for a year, but it is still inefficient.

But no matter how low it is, it's much better than the county magistrate who was responsible for it.

In the past, a county magistrate was responsible for his own affairs. What could a county magistrate do.

The ability of the officials trained by the new school is also relatively high. The cabinet only needs to control the whole.

Although Zhang Yu doesn't have to worry about it any more, he has to ask the cabinet to worry about it. Members of the cabinet have to go to the provinces for inspection for a period of time, and they have to stay for at least half a year to go there once. They can supervise the provinces without important things.

Members of the cabinet, if they do not know the following situation, make policies in the cabinet, that is to say, they command blindly.

Zhang Yu does not allow such existence, let the cabinet deal with it well.

As time goes by, the progress of the expressway project is very slow, and more than 100 kilometers have been paved in half a year.

The cost of more than 100 kilometers of road is also great, much more than Zhang Yu's budget.

But it doesn't matter. Now there is a lot of money in the Treasury.

Now the military spending is slowly reduced, at least weapons and equipment, all kinds of materials do not need how to prepare.

In fact, it is not difficult to arrange the retirement of the army. On the contrary, it is much better than Zhang Yu expected.

The following is what Zhang Yu knows.

When the chief generals of the armies asked the soldiers to sign up voluntarily, they would be given ten silver coins when they retired, and some upper middle land would be allocated in other places. The number of Mu was two mu more than that of ordinary farmers.

The whole army has to sign up for this.

Finally, as a last resort, quotas are allocated. There are quotas for how many people a military can retire. The older ones retire first, and some of the backbone members of the military stay first.

All of a sudden, Zhang Yu retired 300000 people.

After that, some of the troops can only be retired one after another every year.

These retired troops should also be managed locally. At least they should be registered with the government.

Retired so smoothly, this is what Zhang Yu did not expect.

The smooth retirement of the army has saved a lot of military expenditure.

Zhang Yu estimates that in the future, it is OK to maintain about 800000 troops. In order to promote reform, Zhang Yu must maintain a certain number of troops and create an imaginary enemy at the same time.

This imaginary enemy is the west, and it can cheat others for at least ten years.

Ten years is enough time for Zhang Yu to complete all the innovations.

Keep an imaginary enemy. If someone wants to rebel during the reform, Zhang Yu will pull out the general's team to practice.

Now the army is mainly in the north. Today's enemy can only come from the grassland.

But the people of grassland were almost defeated by Zhang Yu.

When Zhang Yu recruits new soldiers in the future, there will be more in the north than in the south. At the same time, the southerners will go to the north as soldiers, and the soldiers from the north will also go to the south to adapt to various climates.

Once there is a war in the north, those retired troops can be quickly put into use, without training, and become an army immediately.

After another half year or so, under the pressure of the cabinet and the direct management of various departments, all the local systems are working well.

The officials of various provinces, cities and counties have also been replaced. If they can't, they will be replaced directly. If they are young and inexperienced, they don't care. If they can't, they will be replaced.

After more than a year of running in, it has finally formed a relatively complete system.

And this year of recuperation, Zhang Yu's Treasury saved a lot of money.

There are a lot of taxes, and taxes alone can't be spent, and a lot of money is transported back from overseas.

Xu Jinghai alone brought back more than 40 million silver coins and 50 million silver coins twice.

And now the silk road is open again.

When the silk road was opened, wealth came in an endless stream.

Basically, it's Zhang Yu who sells things again. The west can't make things at all, and there's nothing to sell.

Zhang Yu brought a lot of past knowledge to the west, such as mining and smelting, and taught them to dig gold and silver.

Zhang Yu teaches them how to develop and how to buy their own things if they don't develop.

In the west, Chang'an, Luoyang and Dunhuang also developed rapidly.

Zhang Yu is particularly concerned about protecting the ecology in the West. When he has money, he empties many rural people directly and concentrates them in all the big cities and towns. At the same time, he plants trees everywhere. Some remote places are directly protected and are not allowed to cut down trees or cultivate.

With such a renovation, many places can be protected and the ecology will not get out of control.

Today's Chang'an Luoyang is still under the management of Zhuge Liang, but Zhang Yu plans to transfer Zhuge Liang back to the capital and directly enter the cabinet.

Zhuge Liang is experienced in many places, experienced and talented.
