Capítulo 881: Prioritize Agriculture

Lan Ruozhu would be excited whenever he could do something for the people and the country. When he became the emperor, he spent the night reviewing memorials and looking at the situation in various parts of the country.

He even had a headache because the situation was worse than he had imagined.

Only Dingzhou to the border prefecture did well. In other places, countless commoners lost their lives or were severely injured by the princes of various provinces. The commoners did not even have enough to eat.

Therefore, Lan Ruozhu immediately issued an order to reduce taxes, encourage farming and land reclamation, and even distribute seeds to everyone. He also encouraged the people to have more children.

If there were more children, the county government would allocate more land and seeds to the families. Lan Ruozhu wanted to increase Chu Country's population. After all, there was more land than people in ancient times.
