Chapter three hundred and ninety seventh penance
Large-scale road construction is not advisable during spring plowing. If corvee is carried out, it will cause damage to summer. Li Jia is a capable king and naturally knows the right position.
The people are really pitiful. They are busy all year round and can only take a little rest in winter. Therefore, most of the imperial court's corvee is concentrated after the autumn harvest and before the spring plowing, ordinary people will naturally work hard.
For this reason, Li Jia chose not to collect corvee labor, but to let the wing soldiers build it.
The sources of the wing soldiers were very diverse. At first, after Li Jia entered Guangzhou City, repaired the imperial guards, eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled, and then included some of the treacherous elements, as well as the gangsters, etc. into the wing soldiers for management.
In order to maintain public order, the Southern Han Dynasty had always had a tradition of forcing gangsters to join the army.
So there are quite a lot of people, about five or six thousand, accounting for almost 20% of the imperial guards. These people cannot be released, otherwise they will harm the place and cannot be kept for no reason. So a wing army was set up to let them work every day.
Later, some stubborn elements were killed in Guangzhou, and some of the less guilty ones also entered the Xiang army. Later, they attacked Qianzhou, captured tens of thousands of Shenwei and Yusheng Army from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and also entered the Xiang army.
Most of the Divine Guards were redeemed by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the naughty elements in the Yum Army were left behind, and the rest also left the Xiang Army.
In addition, bandits, pirates and others have integrated into it, and the Xiang army has always maintained an organization of nearly 6,000 people. It can be said to be a pustules and cancer in the Lingnan army, and is specifically responsible for the construction of roads.
They had a lot of experience. The road repairs from Guangzhou to Hengzhou were completed by the Xiang Army. They made great contributions to the capture of Hunan and Nanping, but unfortunately, there were not many rewards.
This time, the road was built again, and the labor force was free. The soldiers had no choice but to start step by step, burning bricks, paving roads, and planting trees. Although it was cumbersome, it was orderly. Of course, this was carried out under the supervision of the imperial guards.
The cost is really cheap, with only a little food, brick kiln construction, and some equipment, etc., and there is not much trouble. If it is corvee service, the trouble will be irritating.
Li Jia didn't feel sorry for the dead. She was all scumbags. Occasionally giving a meal of fish, meat, wine and drinks was already a great kindness.
Six thousand people built the road very quickly, especially after burning bricks, it was extremely convenient to pave the road, and it was almost ten miles a day. The first thing to be built is the road from Guangzhou to Changsha.
The reason for this is that Li Jia is thinking about fighting for the world. Lingnan is located in a corner. Although it is safe, it is really inconvenient. He has traveled thousands of miles apart and has no phone number. If something goes wrong, he will make a big deal.
The migration of the capital should not be reckless. The first thing to do is to complete the Lingnan, organize the households and the people as soon as possible, turn them into the rear, and contribute money and grain.
Moreover, it cannot be said easily. After all, the hometown is hard to give up. Even as the founding emperor, he has a high prestige, but he cannot easily reject the resolutions of most court officials. Therefore, he needs to slowly plan.
Of course, Li Jia would not move the capital until the Fudao Station between Changsha Prefecture and Chengtian Prefecture was established. The journey from Hunan to Guangzhou was too hard.
The construction of the station is just Li Jia's hypothesis. Although it is feasible, there are many mistakes in it and need to be adjusted. Lingnan cannot move for the time being, and quietness is the key.
Sighing, looking at the scholars wearing long robes and feather fan, strolling in the streets, talking and laughing, Li Jia's mood became better and better. The unhappiness he encountered in the picking up the ground also disappeared. What is the calculating landlords that count as dying?
"With these scholars, why are you afraid of the powerful?" Li Jia smiled and had a new idea about the imperial examination in his heart. On the road to unification of the world, it is important to gain the hearts of scholars, whether it is a wealthy or a poor family, which represents prestige and dominance at the grassroots level.
The ignorant people who promote the court have a higher recognition of these scholars.
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, since September last year, after the death of Prince Li Hongji, Li Jing was heartbroken and appointed his sixth son Li Congjia (Li Yu) as the King of Wu and lived in the Eastern Palace.
Just like God's will, the Southern Tang Dynasty was the most courageous and powerful. Li Hongji, who was scheduled to be a wise king, suddenly died. The position of emperor fell into the hands of Li Congjia, who was proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun. He was the same as Li Jia.
Regarding this, Li Jia did not comment, but instead said playfully: "Congjia, Congjia, don't you say that you obey me?"
This sentence was passed to the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Jing (who was going to go to the next to the character Wang, but it was still used as a regular basis, just know it) was extremely angry and took advantage of it openly. For scholar Li Jing, he could not stand this kind of person. So he immediately changed his name to Li Yu for his son Li Congjia. It was changed after he ascended the throne because Li Jia was in advance.
The crown prince was underestimated by other countries, and the court officials were inconsistent. Someone saw it. Zhong Mo said that Li Congjia was frivolous and indulgent, and asked Duke Ji Li Congshan to be appointed. Li Jing was furious and demoted Zhong Mo to the Imperial Master Siye and officially appointed King Wu Li Yu as the crown prince, instead of letting him live in the East Palace in a concealment.
When Li Jia heard this news, he did not change the pleasure of history because of a word, but remembered Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Through Li Yu, he also remembered his big Zhou and small Zhou after Tuesday. The big Zhou was unavailable and a married woman was married. Xiao Zhou had some thoughts.
"It seems that Li Jing's health is no longer good, he is about to leave!" Li Jia sighed. Although Li Jing was incompetent, he had the skills to be able to take charge of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The ministers were convinced. Li Yu's successor to the throne, and the opportunity came again...
Li Jia was renovating his internal strength and the Central Plains was in turmoil for hundreds of years. Zhao Kuangyin naturally practiced his internal strength and forced out the potential of the Central Plains.
In the first month, due to lack of money, Zhao Kuangyin continued Zhou Shizong's strategy of saving land (that is, to organize households and people to measure land), and continued to realize that the land that was stopped in the late De De period.
However, local officials are not as good as the central government's opinions, but they often seek merit and have many disadvantages. Treating good governance well has become a disadvantage.
So he learned from Zhou Shizong and selected officials to go to various places to equalize the two taxes.
In addition, in order to reduce the loss of money and grain in each prefecture and county, Zhao Kuangyin continued to fulfill Guo Rong's will and continued to repair the canal.
The capital of the Song Dynasty was Bianliang, and there were four rivers to connect the grain transport: Bian River, Yellow River, Huimin River, and Guangji River. The Bian River had the most grain transport. So he transferred tens of thousands of Dingfu to guide the Min River from Xinzheng (now Xinzheng, Henan), to Shouchun, and merged with Cai River (later changed to Huimin River), and connected to the capital, Chen River in the southern Li (now Huaiyang, Henan), and Ying (now Fuyang, Anhui), to connect to the right grain transport in Huaiyou.
