Transmigrating into Murong Fu, may you have many children and much happiness.

Chapter 231 The Great Development of Tianlong

"What?"

When the people of the various countries heard the government posting notices announcing the unification of the five nations and the unification of the world, they initially did not believe it.

But as time went on and the policies kept improving, people had no choice but to believe them.

Initially, taxes were exempted for a year, followed by the promotion of high-temperature composting. The Murong Escort Agency branches across the country were renamed "Dahua Escort Service."

Goods that were not easily circulated among the five countries were transported to each other.

Just when everyone thought that Emperor Murong Fu was a good emperor, Murong Fu felt that the time was right. He first sent people to teach the hot-press sterilization method and made a lot of "canned goods". Then, based on his memory, he hand-drew a relatively accurate world map and marked the characteristics and specialties of each country, with special emphasis on crops such as sweet potatoes.

After Murong Fu ate the "Wisdom Fruit", his memory improved a lot. Even scenes he had only seen once seemed to be engraved deep in his mind, and he could recall them as long as he thought about them carefully.

Then, with a bounty of ten thousand gold pieces and a marquisate, a new wave of seafaring fever was ignited.

The Song Dynasty had extremely strong shipbuilding capabilities, but lacked experience in long-distance ocean voyages and the necessary power.

After Murong Fu's actions, they have the motivation, and their experience will come sooner or later.

After that, Murong Fu stopped paying attention to the matter and left it to the Ocean Affairs Bureau, which would report any breakthroughs in a timely manner.

With all matters arranged and Murong Fu's rule firmly established, he began to implement the equal-field system in the second year of Huayuan, with Suzhou as the first pilot city. Murong Fu personally convened a court meeting and handed over the land deeds of the Murong family to the specially established Equal-Field Office, which then nationalized the land.

Other prominent families of Suzhou were also brought to the imperial court and the handover was completed smoothly.

The Murong family was already the most powerful family in Suzhou, and now that Murong Fu was the emperor, they had no choice but to agree.

Originally, the relevant matters should have been handled by the Ministry of Works according to the classification, but in order to show Murong Fu's importance and to avoid being constrained by court officials, a separate department was established.

As expected, the imperial court was thrown into turmoil.

Only now did many ministers realize what Murong Fu was up to.

Unsurprisingly, there were many words of advice, but Murong Fu simply sent the most enthusiastic ones to Suzhou to farm.

Many people did not believe in the so-called equal distribution of land at first, but when the farmland was indeed divided into their own hands, and they planted it diligently until the harvest, just as initially said, only 20% of the land was taxed, and the farmers were all overjoyed.

Pessimists, however, always feel that they don't know how long this policy can last.

Even the most pessimistic person believed that, while sighing, they would apply to the government for land reclamation.

Because once a piece of wasteland is reclaimed, the person has the right to use that wasteland until death. Moreover, the first three years after the land reclamation is registered are tax-free.

The elderly in the family have also received better treatment in their later years. This is because more elderly people mean more land. When someone dies, the land is directly taken back by the government and given to other young people in the village who have just reached the age of 18. There is no such thing as inheritance.

At first, every household had plenty of land because the landlords' contiguous lands were nationalized and distributed uniformly.

There might even be excess land, since it's impossible for every village and county to have the same average land area per capita. A cap is set per capita, and any excess is dealt with by the government, but the proceeds must be used for public facilities, etc. If there isn't enough land, people are organized to reclaim wasteland together.

However, this action did indeed cause great fear among landlords and powerful families in other regions.

They kept inquiring and came to a similar conclusion: His Majesty really intended to implement the equal-field system throughout the land.

The land they've won over generations is all gone!

"Damn it, things were going well at first after Murong Fu came up, but who knew he'd pull this stunt!"

Inside a luxurious mansion within a grand courtyard, several portly middle-aged men were drinking and partying.

The maids and servants were all sent away, while the few of them inside were having a heart-to-heart talk. Across from them, a man with a goatee and sinister eyes clinked glasses with him, downed his drink in one gulp, and said:

"Yes! I heard that in Suzhou, no matter how big a family is or how much land they own, it has all been taken away."

"Ugh, all that golden land has been given to the poor! What a tragedy!"

Another person, dressed in red with a round, chubby face like a steamed bun, said:

"Yes, Murong Fu also comes from a prominent family, and they own countless fertile fields in Suzhou."

"Heh, how come he forgot his roots after becoming emperor? Everyone knows he used to lend money at exorbitant interest rates!"

"Yes, Brother Zhang is absolutely right!"

The group kept clinking glasses, and the cursing grew louder and louder.

Just then, a servant suddenly opened the door and rushed in.

The master, seeing his servant so unruly, angrily rebuked him:

"How can you be so rude! Get out!"

The servant's face turned deathly pale, his legs trembling, but he didn't leave. Instead, he stammered, "Master..."

That...."

Seeing that the servant did not obey his orders, the master felt that his authority had been challenged, and became even more furious. He picked up the wine pot and smashed it directly at the servant.

"Get out! Didn't you hear me?! Get out!"

Before he could finish speaking, the wine pot fell to the ground.

Then I saw a pair of clean, white hands, as delicate as a woman's, gently grasping the wine pot in mid-air.

The owner of the hand was dressed in a long, light green robe with embroidered patterns, and had a tall, elegant figure.

Upon seeing the other man's deathly pale face, as if powdered, and his bald chin, the wealthy Zhang who had thrown the wine jug suddenly sobered up.

But then he saw the man hand the wine pot to the servant and wave him out.

He then said to him, "Master Zhang, the door is open, all is well."

Such incidents occurred one after another across the country, with landlords and powerful families in various places desperately trying to incite popular uprisings.

However, Murong Fu had already issued orders to use the newspapers and data he controlled, especially the storytellers, to explain the benefits of equal land distribution to the people.

Reporting landlords and powerful families with ulterior motives will also grant them priority in land allocation and an additional reward of the right to use several acres of land.

The people were delighted to see the landlords slaughtered, their heads rolling everywhere.

In the end, the landlords had no choice but to quickly and voluntarily distribute the land to others to avoid being falsely accused.

With these initiatives, people in various regions were both nervous and expectant about the equal distribution of land.

Farmers have simple wishes: as long as they have a few acres of land enough to make a living, they can work diligently for a lifetime.

But the insatiable greed of landlords, the indifference of officials to the people's livelihood, and the rampant land annexation by local bullies often left them with nowhere to stand.

Later, the people discovered that new things were springing up like mushrooms after rain, such as Champa rice and late rice, which allowed for two harvests a year.

The emergence and promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes brought them even more joy.

I heard that these two plants, which resemble shrines, were brought back from overseas.

His Majesty also bestowed upon them the titles of Marquis of Potatoes and Marquis of Sweet Potatoes, respectively.

The wheels of the Great Hua Empire rolled forward, and Murong Fu once again became a hands-off manager.

The Condor Heroes world.

Guo Jing, Qiao Feng, Aguda, Zhou Botong, Hong Qigong, Yang Guo, and others were drinking with Murong Fu.

Guo Jing said, "Brother Murong, I have witnessed your strategies for governing the country."

The Great Hua Empire was a place where the people lived in peace and prosperity, and everyone was grateful!

That's truly remarkable, truly remarkable! I'll toast you!

After drinking with Guo Jing, Murong Fu said, "Brother Guo, you flatter me. Those in positions of authority should fulfill their responsibilities."

"A ruler should naturally do the right thing and bring benefits to the people."

Qiao Feng raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty... Brother, don't be modest. I have seen emperors before, but none of them are like you."

Guo Jing said, "Yes, but things have improved for you people of Great Hua, and for us people of Great Song."

.

Alas, although there was no Mongol invasion to trouble us, the heavy taxes, natural disasters, and man-made calamities made life miserable.

Murong Fu understood his unspoken message and said:

"Brother Guo, let's not rush things here. Once Dahua is more stable, we'll go and capture Zhao Yun, hahaha."

Guo Jing has always been a model of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and in the original work, he even sacrificed his life for his country.

In reality, he was brought to the Tianlong World by Murong Fu to help in the past two years, and he also witnessed the prosperity of the country under Murong Fu's rule.

Because of the unification, there was no need for an arms race, and the number of soldiers decreased significantly. Many of the surplus soldiers were used to build public facilities, especially the Imperial Guards who guarded Bianjing, most of whom were sent to work as mortars.

The martial arts academy that was established popularized the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu among the people. With excess energy having nowhere to go, they reclaimed wasteland, which increased grain production.

The arts and sciences courses offered alongside the military academy not only nurtured some children but also included adult classes that taught skills in raising livestock and farming.

The landlords all disappeared, but Murong Fu only took the land, not their property.

Many people moved to the city to buy houses and start businesses.

Although a commercial tax was added to large businesses, Murong Fu also ordered the martial arts world to suppress mountain bandits and outlaws because there were no longer any barriers between countries.

Therefore, the economy actually became more fluid.

It can be said that the current state of the Great Hua Empire is a level of prosperity that Guo Jing could never have imagined.

He also realized that a country could be like this.

Murong Fu also knew that his ability to govern the country to this extent was not due to any extraordinary talent, but rather to his far-sighted vision built upon thousands of years of accumulated experience, and the fact that the system had given him a cheat code.

After the banquet, he went to see the pregnant Xiaolongnu and Lu Wushuang, took their pulses, and after a tender moment, returned to the world of Peerless.

I glanced at the exploration progress.

[Peerless World: Exploration Progress 28%] (0% Charge)

Because Murong Fu didn't develop his power much here and stayed at Jiuxiu Manor, his exploration progress didn't increase as quickly as in Tianlong and Shenlu.

Moreover, I have recently been preoccupied with the political situation in the Tianlong world, and I haven't had enough energy for this side.

I just had a cup of tea in my room to wash away the smell of alcohol.

Then Zhang Jing entered the room and said:

"Hey, you're always calling my dad your brother."

You're also having an affair with your "Brother Yan's" daughter in private. Don't you have any shame?

When are you going to confront them directly? My mother seems to have figured it all out, but she probably hasn't told my father.

When Murong Fu saw Zhang Jing enter, he immediately embraced her and said:

"Shall we go now?"

Zhang Jing was initially jealous because Murong Fu spent more time with Lianxing, Murong Jiu, and even Yan Nantian than with her.

Unexpectedly, Murong Fu readily agreed to her request, leaving her at a loss.
