The issues that Guo Peng needs to consider now are different from before.

It used to be a battle for hegemony, but now it is an emperor's mind.

As an emperor and head of state, what he needed to think about is how to open up the living space of the Wei Empire in the future, how to develop Jiangnan, how to destroy the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, how to re-establish the Western Regions Protectorate, and how to attack the grasslands in the north to completely eliminate the threat of the Xianbei.

How to suppress and consume the power of the powerful and gentry during this period, how to strengthen centralization, how to improve productivity, how to liberalize the education system and establish the imperial examination system.

The most important one is the development of Jiangnan.

To develop Jiangnan, we need to first pacify Jiangnan and eliminate the powerful families in Jiangnan. Then, we implement the excessive development from the military farming system to the land division system in Jiangnan, and gradually develop from the Yangtze River Basin to the south, migrate the population south, and develop land that can be mature in Jiangnan a year.

In the future, the land in Lingnan will be developed, which can be developed three-ripe a year, and will continue to increase productivity and increase the yield of grain crops to enhance national strength.

This is a century-old plan and a century-old national policy. It cannot be accomplished by his generation, nor even by Guo Jin. It requires generations of continuous development.

In the past, Guo Peng always thought that the land of China could not support so many people, and the population would break out after reaching a certain peak. Now it seems that there is indeed a certain reason.

However, even without potatoes and corn, the population that China can feed is definitely more than 50 million.

In the process of constantly conquering the world, Guo Peng discovered something in the process of governing the grassroots.

The powerful landlord class that possesses the vast majority of land will not reclaim wasteland.

They will only occupy the existing fertile land. As for wasteland, they don’t care. As long as life is acceptable, they don’t care about the lives of the common people. They care whether their land is fertile.

Reclaiming wasteland requires investment, population and material investment, and it takes several years to get profits. This process is unacceptable to the people of the powerful landlord class.

What they can accept is to take the ready-made land reclaimed by the common people for their own possession.

This is a group of bastards who do not work for production but only want to enjoy it. They enjoy the romance and romance. They can only do the arduous cultivation of the people. But when the ranks of the people were about to see the dawn, they came and took away the cultivated land.

The common people were forced to leave their land, and there was only one way left for them, which was to reclaim other wastelands.

However, reclaiming wasteland itself requires investment in grain and requires someone to organize it. Ancient dynasties rarely had strong grassroots organizational power. The imperial power did not go to the countryside. Who would be willing to use their own money to do such a thing?

The common people who lost their land did not have more food to support the wasteland to produce harvests. In this process, they either starved to death or rose up.

The vast amount of wastelands will not be reclaimed, and the dynasty will perish, and people will die almost, and a new cycle of reincarnation will begin.

Therefore, the development of the Yellow River Basin to the Yangtze River Basin and then to the Pearl River Basin has run through two thousand years of feudal monarchy history. From the Qin to the Qing Dynasty, the most fertile land with the best harvest can be three-ripe a year. No one develops it or cares.

Without organizational power, the imperial power will not go to the countryside, and private individuals will not be willing to pay such a cost to carry out construction. What they are willing to do can be done, in these two thousand years, there are only the country and only the king.

But there were too few qualified kings. The most capable one was Qin Shihuang, who started the southern expedition of 500,000 Qin troops and launched a million immigrants to explore Jiangnan and even Lingnan. Unfortunately, the life span of Emperor Qin was limited and Qin II died.

After the fall of Qin, until the so-called transiting south, in four hundred years, no powerful emperor could have built like Qin Shihuang, and truly expanded the living space of the entire nation.

Development, reclamation, construction, development of residence areas, setting up counties, dispatching officials, troops, and taxes.

The military occupation is enough, and when the force weakens, it is over.

If the Central Plains regime had not been forced to cross the south several times and to develop Jiangnan and Lingnan for survival, this major development might not have been completed in two thousand years.

The living space needs to be developed. Either there is something on the map or your own. If you don’t develop or cultivate it, it’s wasteland.

The development of Jiangnan is imperative, and this will surely become Guo Wei’s first national policy.

It doesn’t need to persist for too long. Guo himself doesn’t know how long this national policy can be adhered to after he dies. When will this national policy be artificially abandoned, but the longer he persists, the longer the peace will last, and the longer Guo Wei’s life span.

Maybe after you die, many of the benefits of the development will be taken away by the people.

But in the end, this will truly benefit a large number of people, bring about progress, and open up a lot of living space, which is undoubtedly correct.

As long as it is useful, you must do it. If a problem occurs, you can solve it. You cannot stop doing it just because there is a problem.

If I can do it, I will do it until I die. As long as I am still alive, I will continue to do it.

Jiangnan Development was his first national policy after he ascended the throne.

The second national policy is to re-operate the Western Regions.

The operation of the Western Regions is related to the smooth flow of the Silk Road, which is of great significance to the Central Plains Empire's economic policy of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

There were many famous figures who managed the Western Regions during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the most famous of which was the Ban family. Ban Chao and Ban Yong and his sons maintained the Eastern Han Dynasty's rule in the Western Regions as if they were relaying in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty. Although they tried their best, they still could not help the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty's national strength.

It was easy for Liu Xiu to be an emperor, not at all difficult. Even Wang Mang's army had meteorites from the sky to help him kill him, but it would cost to be an emperor and quickly unify the world.

Qin Shihuang established a large government because he fought for the sixth generation. Emperor Wu of Han established a large government because he endorsed the rule of Wen and Jing.

Without a strong government, how can we manage such a large piece of territory well?

In the end, the Eastern Han Dynasty did not restore the level of control of the Western Regions, and even the Western Regions Protectorate could not be rebuilt. It could only create a Western Region Chief Mansion to replace it, and replaced the military administrative chief with a staff officer. What was revealed behind it was the fatigue and powerlessness of the Eastern Han Empire in the Western Regions.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Eastern Han Empire could barely maintain its influence on the Western Regions. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, let alone it be difficult to protect itself. Later, under the conspiracy of Guo, the Han government was destroyed, and the countries in the Western Regions had long known what the Han envoy looked like.

Mr. Guo felt that as the leader of the Guo-Wei regime, it was necessary for them to know what it means to have to accept the rule of the Central Plains Empire since ancient times and embark on the right path of prosperity and development. This is very necessary.

But if you meet someone who is not very obsessed and don’t know that the Chinese emperor is back and attempts to resist the trend of history, then it is even more necessary for Mr. Guo to teach them a history lesson.

There are many more, including imperial examinations, schools, education, and official selection...

With all the troubles, Guo Peng always felt that he had a lot of things to do, but when he thought about it carefully, Guo Peng found that his lifespan might not be enough to support him in seeing that day coming.

He may be able to be a great founder and must entrust his career to future generations.

I'm a little unwilling, really, unwilling to accept it.

For a moment, Guo Peng suddenly understood why those emperors who made achievements in ancient times wanted to pursue immortality.
