Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 538
The first gold medal in the Chinese Empire sent out by the emperor, naturally we should not be too stingy.

However, if it is too big, it will not be easy to carry in your arms.

Lu Hao thought for a while and said: "It will be made according to the size of the imperial guard's belt, and it will be stamped with my jade seal. As for how to stamp it, you can figure it out yourself."

"After Weichen ordered someone to design the drawing, he immediately sent it to the emperor for review. If the emperor is satisfied, would Weichen order someone to build it again?"

Tang Yu asked loudly.

"Well, what Aiqing said is absolutely true. I will do as you wish."

Lu Hao nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, I have roughly estimated the value of yesterday's gold and silver jewelry, emeralds, antique calligraphy and paintings, brocade cloth and other materials, and they are worth about 30 billion taels of silver."

Tang Yu reported loudly.

30 billion taels of silver?What is this concept?
Everyone present was immediately stunned.

Lu Hao was also slightly startled, then smiled wildly.

"Hahaha... 30 billion? Okay! Okay! Okay! My hard work this time was not in vain!"

"Congratulations to the emperor! Congratulations to the emperor!"

Everyone knelt on the ground and congratulated Lu Hao on making a fortune.

"Now that the empire has money, let's start building schools. After these schools are repaired, Wenyuan Pavilion and the Imperial College will be responsible for equipping the schools with teachers. Each teacher's salary will be paid by the empire's treasury..."

"From now on, when all children go to school, the empire will provide free board and lodging. The empire also agrees to provide board and lodging for all school employees. However, the students' performance must be included in the assessment of teachers and staff..."

Lu Hao was in a good mood. In one word, he would spend at least another [-] million taels of silver every year.

However, for an empire with deep pockets, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket.

"The Emperor is wise! The Emperor is kind!"

Everyone kowtowed to him again and thanked the emperor for his grace.

From ancient times to the present, very few children of ordinary people can study, and few can truly become talents.

Lu Hao's order set off a wave of support for Emperor Yongtai throughout the Chinese Empire, and everyone was talking about this great emperor.

With the establishment of the empire's new education system, tens of millions of elites will be added to the empire every year. If this continues, it will be impossible for the empire not to prosper!

"Master Dong, I will give you a yellow mandarin jacket, reward you with ten thousand taels of gold, and authorize you to choose three gifts from the royal treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Lu Hao rewarded with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Dong Bifang was extremely surprised.

"As for the project that runs through the dark forest, it will be put on the agenda starting from today. Preparations will also begin for the widening project of the main roads between states, and the required costs will be funded by the empire's finances..."

"As for the main roads in prefectures and counties, they are also planned and will be gradually improved in the next step. In addition, in mountainous areas where it is not convenient to build highways, the width of the main roads will be reduced. However, at least three carriages must be passed at the same time."

Lu Hao immediately explained the next task.

"Follow the emperor's will."

Dong Bifang responded loudly.

"Master Xiao, you have made great contributions in this disaster relief. I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and make you the supervisor of Shanglin Garden. You will be responsible for the full-time management of the empire's livestock cultivation and be one of the cabinet members."

Lu Hao turned to look at Xiao Heng and praised him loudly.

"Thank you for the grace of the emperor!"

Xiao Heng quickly bowed and thanked him.One of the cabinet members has entered the core management of the empire. Therefore, this position is much higher than the previous deputy position.

In fact, Xiao Heng's abilities were average. If he were not Concubine Dong's father, Lu Hao would not use him so highly.

The most important thing is that Concubine Dong Guifei is about to give birth, and Lu Hao also wants her to happily give birth to his child.

Xiao Heng naturally knew this, and was extremely grateful and loyal to Lu Hao.

"Master Xiao, you have a heavy responsibility. From now on, all the land in the empire must be registered, and all the land that was previously awarded must be returned to the empire."

"The second thing is to divide the land in various places according to the number of people. The specific standards will be determined based on the actual situation of each state to ensure that every civilian has his own land..."

Lu Hao announced the land reform loudly.

"However, a lot of land belongs to landowners, and a lot of it was enfeoffed in the past. If this reform is implemented, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many people."

Xiao Heng said with a frown.

"The land that was enfeoffed by the empire in the past will be recovered by the empire at the cost price. If it is some private land, it will also be recovered at this price..."

"In short, no matter what method is used, these lands must be returned to the empire, and then the empire will allocate land resources according to the amount of each household..."

Lu Hao's attitude was very tough.

However, he took back the land and gave a certain amount of compensation, which was considered very humane. Otherwise, no one would dare to rebel if he kept giving orders and making everything one-size-fits-all.

The reform of the empire's land system allowed the common people of the empire to own land, so that they could rely on farming to survive and create more wealth for the empire.

"After the land is distributed to each household, an agricultural tax will be collected annually based on head count. This tax cannot exceed 5.00% of the land revenue, so that the common people of the empire can also become rich."

Lu Hao's words resounded throughout the hall, allowing everyone to see a unique emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Everyone was so excited that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to express gratitude.

"Your Majesty, I have proposed for a long time that I would share the same family with you, but... today it was finally realized in the hands of your Majesty. I am truly lucky to meet Master Ming in this lifetime!"

Mr. Hu Shi, the great scholar of the Imperial College, was so excited that he burst into tears.

"The Emperor is the only emperor of the ages and a wise king of a generation. He has solved the land problem of the common people. The empire will usher in a more glorious tomorrow!"

Master Meng from Wenyuan Pavilion was also excited and praised loudly.

"Your Majesty is wise! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

All civil and military officials were sincere and kowtowed respectfully to express their respect for the emperor.

"Hahaha... all the ministers are equal!"

Lu Haole burst out laughing.

Tantai Xiyao looked at this high-spirited and extraordinary man, and was filled with joy. She wished she could give birth to a bunch of monkeys for him as soon as possible.

After all, the royal family still values ​​​​mother and son. If I have nothing to offer, how can I explain to the emperor?

Liu Rufeng and Situ Tianyin looked at each other and were convinced of this man.

Originally, they followed Lu Hao and didn't want any status. They just hoped to help him dominate the world.

Now that I see this majestic emperor, I feel from the bottom of my heart that my knowledge is not worth mentioning in front of him.

What they didn't expect the most was that Lu Hao broke all the systems of the old empire and established a more scientific and humane management system.

Regarding the cancellation of the emperor's morning court and the change of going to court every Monday to discuss political affairs, the civil and military officials were less tired and had more time to deal with political affairs.
