Chapter seven hundred entered the second stage
If there is no error in speculation, this year was 1140 AD in orthodox world history.
In this year, Yue Fei led his troops to the north and pressed Wanyan Wushu to the ground and rubbed back and forth.
Unfortunately, Zhao Gou scored twelve gold medals.
Zhao Huan, who was reborn and traveled through time, has completely changed the direction of China's history.
When he fought in the west, he began to influence Western history.
In order to quickly divert domestic conflicts, at the end of the fifteenth year of Jingkang, Zhao Huan began to mobilize the Western Expedition.
As for the resumption of production in the Central Plains, Yu Yunwen is fully responsible.
Some people have never understood why the emperor had to spend so much effort on the Western Expedition. The battle line was so long that it consumed a huge amount of money.
Just say that from the beginning of last year to now, Yue Fei and others have spent 100 million yuan, equivalent to 30 billion yuan in later generations.
This is a matter of burning money. Some ministers dissuaded the emperor. Now that the country has suffered a heavy blow, it is not advisable to allocate money to fight westward.
One of the things that civil officials like to play the most is meetings, and one of the things that they like to play the most during meetings is to argue, and they start to quarrel as they pull it.
As they quarrel, they started to be angry, and as they gamble, they started to fight for the party.
After a quarrel, Zhao Huan finally came up with a solution himself.
1. Starting from Xingqing Prefecture, we went to Suiye City to build a post station. The main function of the post station is to convey messages, transport grain to rest, and complete it within three years.
2. He dispatched 100,000 troops from Hedaolu to settle in Suiye City.
3. The planning department has built a railway plan for ten years from Gaochang to Suiye City.
There are several problems here that need to be solved by Tang Ke.
First, how much does it cost in total? In the fifteenth year of Jingkang, there were 2 billion treasurys in the national treasury, equivalent to 600 billion yuan, which is sufficient than any era in ancient times. But what the emperor has to do now is something that the emperor of any era will not do.
This is equivalent to pioneering the country, arriving from the rich Central Plains, extending transportation to the barren land of the Western Regions, just for war?
Assuming that money is enough, how much criticism will be suffered in this process?
Emperors who like to fight since ancient times have been described by historical books as tyrants who are powerful and powerful.
Emperor Yang of Sui was too hasty in everything, which caused public resentment.
What should I do if there is public grievances?
Second, where do people come from? The Central Plains have just experienced war and have to recover their vitality. If people are transferred to build roads and stations, will it cause public grievances?
The most important thing is these two problems.
In short, as soon as this decision came out, a large number of people kept memorizing, and the memorial immediately overwhelmed Yu Yunwen.
Someone impeached the Three Sessions to insult Tang Ke and deceive the public, and even slander the emperor. He even slandered Tang Ke's saliva in public in the court.
Next, countless people below started to squirt.
Who is exactly squirting?
The Inspectorate, the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, yes, except for the Military Governor's Office, everyone is criticizing the Three Divisions.
What is Tang Ke’s attitude?
Eat and drink as long as you don’t hinder my hot pot. Remember to drink water when you spray your saliva dry.
Many people were even more unwilling to give up and ran to the Tang Mansion to curse.
This incident reached Zhao Huan's ears. Zhao Huan was furious and waved his sleeves. Anyone who ran to the door of the Tang Mansion was arrested and imprisoned for three days.
Next, everyone will be much more honest.
Time goes by day, and trucks of grain are transported from Jiaozhou, and more and more.
Those originally empty granaries were stocked up with food.
The governments in various places were incorporated and the bandits and rebels were comforting.
In the New Year of the 16th year of Jingkang, Zhao Huan took out a large sum of money from the royal family. What are you doing?
Send red envelopes!
In addition, the court also issued an order that governments in various places should prepare part of the budget and send red envelopes on the first day of the first lunar month!
Is there any money in the Song Dynasty today?
Very rich!
The Central Plains wars were fought in the fifteenth year of Jingkang, but how much tax was collected at the end of the year?
800 million guan!
In the southeast alone, Liangzhe, Fujian and Guangdong contributed 300 million yuan.
No dynasty, like now, completely opened up the South China Ocean, and went west from the South China Ocean to the west. The merchant ships and warships of the Song Dynasty were sailing neatly on the sea.
The emergence of penicillin has greatly reduced the mortality rate between sailing and marching.
The merchant ships of the Song Dynasty stopped at Zhunian Port and continued to head westward to the Arabian Sea, enter North Africa, along the Red Sea, and on Egypt and other shores.
Another thing that happened in the fifteenth year of Jingkang was the surrender of Dali Kingdom.
It took the Song Dynasty seven years to completely open up the road network to Dali, Yunnan.
The imperial court spent a total of 1 billion yuan to open up the transportation in Dali, equivalent to 300 billion yuan.
Open mountains, build roads, and build wharfs.
How much sacrifice was made for this?
According to later statistics from the Political Affairs Hall, as many as 30,000 people buried their bones in the southwest, three doctors (directors) died in the Ministry of Works and five chiefs (section chiefs), all of whom were killed on the construction site.
For this reason, countless families have lost their pillars and countless children have lost their fathers.
For this reason, the court spent a huge amount of pensions.
Later, some people criticized the Jingkang New Deal for pioneering the southwest, accusing Yu Yunwen of being in power, and too many people died in the railways, highways and waterways, which was because the political affairs hall did not do anything.
Some people also sighed: China has been difficult since ancient times. Those workers who died in the southwest, like those who died in the battle to defend their country and the battlefield, should be remembered by us forever.
Some people mocked the Jingkang New Policy. The prosperous era of the Song Dynasty was piled up on white bones. Such a prosperous era was covered with blood.
Therefore, there were many doubts about Emperor Shengwu's many policies, accusing them of being too rough and domineering, which caused the deaths of many people.
Too many unjust souls were buried among the green mountains.
But this year's support from Dali, no matter what his mentality was, allowed the court's husbands to see the changes brought about by the new policy.
In the first month of the 16th year of Jingkang, there was a new voice in the temple: the reform of the tax system.
The Jingkang New Deal has been advanced for fifteen years.
The nationalization of grain was initially completed in the first ten years, and the cultivation land of the Song Dynasty increased from 500 million mu to 1 billion now, which doubled.
The regaining of the main Jiaozhou and Liaodong gave the Song Dynasty two additional granaries.
The annual output is 500 million stones, or 60 billion jin of grain.
The population has increased from 100 million in the first year of Jingkang to 200 million now.
The increase in population caused by adequate food has further promoted economic growth.
In the fifteenth year of Jingkang, the main roads across the country were basically completed, and all the main roads connecting Tokyo's Sidu have been completed.
Merchants from Guangzhou to Tokyo might have taken more than a month before, but if the weather is not good, it may take two months.
But now it only takes ten days to arrive in Tokyo, and the goods transported are more than ten times as much as before.
Chapter completed!
