"Is this Luanzhou?"

"No. This is Hejian Mansion. The donkey meat here is good, you must try it."

"Then this must be Luanzhou, right?"

"No. This is Shuntian Mansion. Further north is Fengshengzhou."

"I understand, this is the strategic point between the river and the sea. If the official family moves their capital, this will be the gateway of Jifu, and this must be Luanzhou!"

"But that's not the case. This is Tianjin Wei. The Ministry of Industry was built by the government in the second year of Jingkang. It means that the Emperor's chariot was driven here to cross the sea and cross the river. Luanzhou still has to go east for a few days."

From Bianjing City all the way north to Luanzhou, Jin Fushi and Pu Chengxing finally clearly understood the word "big" in the Song Dynasty.

In other words, the Song Dynasty should not call itself the Song Dynasty at all, because it is too modest. It should be called the Great Song Dynasty like the folk!

Wang Ji, the right minister of household affairs who followed Jin Fushi and Park Seong-seung to the north, was made dumbfounded by the two sticks. Finally, he simply pointed to the north and then to the south and said: "The territory of our Song Dynasty is so vast that starting from the north

...I don’t know where the current northern boundary is. Anyway, the Song Dynasty is also included in places as far south as Ya County, Jiaozhi and Zhenla.

Taking Fengsheng Prefecture as the starting point alone, without considering any other conditions, even a horse that travels thousands of miles a day will probably take more than ten days to reach Yaxian County. If you include resting and climbing mountains along the way,

, crossing the river and other situations, I’m afraid it may not be possible in more than a month.”

When Wang Ji said this, Jin Fushi found that even though he was thinking about it, he couldn't figure out how big the Song Dynasty's river was. In the end, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Song Dynasty is so big!"

Park Cheng-sung also nodded vigorously and said, "It's indeed too big!"

In addition to the unimaginable territory of the Song Dynasty, what shocked Jin Fushi the most was the people of the Song Dynasty.

The last time he went from Mingzhou to Bianjing, what he saw and heard along the way was enough to shock Jin Fushi. But this time, what he saw and heard on the way from Bianjing to Tianjin Wei made Jin Fushi feel...

To...palpitations.

Along the way, whether in cities or villages, Jin Fushi didn't see a single beggar at all——

Frankly speaking, if the faces of the people of the Song Dynasty are exciting and high-spirited that the faces of the people of Goryeo are not, Jin Fushi can understand it more or less. After all, they are the people of the Celestial Kingdom who pressed the Jin Kingdom to the ground and rubbed it.

Recently, a country was completely wiped out, and two more countries were taken into possession. It is normal to be a little proud.

But without beggars, it was really unimaginable for Jin Fushi!

Is there not a single poor person in the Song Dynasty who has no food to eat? Even though all the people are extremely hard-working, how can those who are congenitally unable to work not become beggars?

If a country is so rich that there is not even a single beggar, how powerful should the country's national power be?

After listening to Jin Fushi's question, Wang Ji replied with great pride: "In the Song Dynasty, we have residential homes, which are specially designed to accommodate the elderly, sick, orphans and beggars. All the old, young, poor, sick, helpless and homeless beggars, or

Those who are frozen due to cold weather on the road are allowed to be sent to a nearby nursing home and given money and rice for relief. Those orphans and poor children who can be taught will be sent to the Salesian Bureau and sent to social schools."

"In the Song Dynasty, there was a Salesian Bureau. Officials gave money to hire wet nurses and kept them in the Bureau. For example, in a poor family in a back alley, some boys and girls lost their mothers, or they were unable to raise them and abandoned them in the neighborhood. The officials took them in and brought them to the Bureau to raise them. Monthly payment

With money, rice and silk cloth, he can be fed and warmed, and he can be brought up to be a man, and he can be allowed to do as he pleases with his physiology, without being restrained by officials."

"In the Song Dynasty, there was a Huimin Pharmacy. Those who had no money to buy medicine could go to the Huimin Pharmacy to get the medicine on credit, and then pay it back gradually. If you really can't afford it, you can do some work for the government to replace it."

"In the Song Dynasty, we still have the Luze Garden to bury those who died without owners."

Every time Wang Ji said something, the look of envy on the faces of Jin Fushi and Pu Chengxing became heavier. After Wang Ji finished speaking, Jin Fushi and Piao Chengxing even wished they would die immediately so that they could be reborn in Song Dynasty in the next life.

country.

After being envious for a long time, Jin Fushi suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he asked: "What should we do if someone doesn't care about hard work and only pretends to be poor? If this continues, can the court still afford it?"

"Don't want to work? Are you just trying to be poor?"

Wang Ji looked at Jin Fushi with caring eyes and asked: "How can there be such a shameless person in this world? If he is not too poor to survive, who would want to go to a nursing home?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Ji laughed again and explained: "The nursing home does not accept everyone. Anyone who can work will be handed over to the government to arrange work. They will never starve to death."

Jin Fushi said, "What if there are people who don't want to work but are willing to show off their skin?"

Wang Jidao: "Well, according to what you said, there are indeed people who are unwilling to work and are willing to show off their dignity, but how can the local government and people in these yamen sit back and watch?

Or to take a step back, even if the local government and certain people are willing to collude, there are still people from the Yushitai and the Imperial City Department secretly monitoring these illegal activities.

In addition, the annual audit by the Ministry of Accounts is by no means a show-off. As long as something is found to be slightly wrong, it will be re-examined and even submitted to the Department of Justice for re-examination.

For a mere advantage, one has to risk lawsuits and even death, and may even implicate three generations of the nine tribes. Who is willing to take advantage of this? Even if someone is willing, how can they bribe the local government and all parties?

At the same time as the Yamen, you can also bribe the Household Department, the Yushitai and the Imperial City Department?"

This time Jin Fushi bowed to Wang Ji sincerely and said: "Yes, I have learned a lesson."

Wang Ji nodded and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about these things. In two days, it will be almost time to arrive in Luanzhou. By then, your envoy will have more time to take a look and see how big I am.

How did the people of Song Dynasty live?"

…

"Assign all the newly arrived Korean workers to the construction site. The original ones will be transferred to repair the Great Wall first. The salary of these new Korean workers will be temporarily increased by 20% and will be lowered after the incident is over."

After receiving the news that the Korean envoys would come to the border city of Luanzhou, Qin Huiwan began to make full preparations.

"Tell the Jinyi supervisors below that before these newly arrived workers have seen it, let them put away all the tricks they used before. If anyone causes trouble to me this time, I will

The official will make his whole family very troublesome!"

"In the past few days, those who cook and those who help in the kitchen should also pay attention. The rice that should be washed should be washed carefully. Don't bring sand and stones to the construction site, which will make people look bad."

"And the garment manufacturer in the city, tell him to quickly get a new batch of labor clothes with better quality. They were all junk in the past. I think they are making money and it makes me heartbroken.
