Chapter 742 Offset

The car broke, and Zhang Quanzhong and Huang He also understood the problem, but what should they say?

Huang He had no choice but to say, Prince, you have thought too much, Your Majesty still trusts you very much, and even thought that Prince went south just to relax and avoid the limelight, but it was not that Prince did not need Prince.

Wang Ju said, take it seriously? Even if the incident happened suddenly, Your Majesty had not yet decided, but someone used this to impeach me a few days ago. They were not high-ranking officials like Sun Gu, so why didn’t Your Majesty take it?

This is the best rebuttal. Even if Zhao Xu doesn't want to balance, it means he is also a little unhappy. Why are you and my aunt not sure, but you asked her to give birth to your son!

That is why Sun Gu finally found out that he publicly asked questions in the court.

Wang Ju said again, if there was no defeat in the attack of Xia, I think the official family would probably not let you come.

The two of them dared not speak.

Wang Ju continued, Wang Gong recommended me to be a political consultant. If I really only have military talents, please come with me.

Then they were taken back to the city and brought to a warehouse with extremely strict guards. Wang Ju asked someone to open the warehouse and took them in.

There are a lot of gold and silver piled up in the warehouse, and a large number of gold and silver coins.

Wang Ju also said that these gold and silver coins were exchanged from Dashi Tianzhu. As for these gold, some were mined locally, and some were exchanged from Dashi. Last year, I told the official that the annual commercial tax on the other side reached more than three million guan, but last year's commercial tax had increased to more than five million guan, and it may even increase to seven million guan this year.

The main reason is the pull of trade. With the development of the Dashi Navigation Trail, not only did the Song Dynasty exchange a large amount of silk and porcelain for Dashi, but there were also many local commodities that could be transported to the other side for trade. In fact, with the other side of trade, overseas trade has successfully pulled back the trade gap and gradually reversed to the Song Dynasty, realizing the large amount of gold and silver return.

However, trade must be reselling goods. The larger the trade volume, the larger the local area must produce a large amount of goods. This has led to a surge in commercial taxes.

This is also a good explanation. No matter how it is pulled, there are only a few hundred thousand households on the other side. The commercial tax reached almost half of the Song Dynasty, and it even gradually developed to a level. Why? The commercial tax is in sync!

So Wang Ju didn't say anything wrong, nor did he do it wrong.

Wang Ju said again. As for these silver, they were obtained from Japan. Last year, after many people searched, they finally found a large silver mine and a medium-sized silver mine. Because of the violent mining of waste and some of the original small silver mines, they could get three million taels of silver for our dynasty in a year. If it weren't for this incident, I would have launched a banking department for the government next year. Even five years later, I had enough gold and silver as the principal. I could issue 150 million guan of silk for payment.

I have said that if the people do not increase taxes and the country can achieve their own self-sufficient use?

Not only that, I came here, and there were several purposes, more powerful weapons, and several new high-yield and drought-resistant foods...

But when I think about the sad and strange theory, I really don’t have any motivation.

I wonder if Fu Jian has implemented a different theory to Wang Meng, does he still have the ability to unify the north?

Wang Ju took out another edict, saying that I would serve as the chief magistrate and political affairs. I should be careful when doing things and speaking. Besides, why should I go back for this famous Privy Councilor?

"Have you really found the silver mine?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

Huang He nodded. This was what he saw with his own eyes, and he bit his teeth and tried its purity.

Zhao Xu sighed and said, "It's indeed a great mathematics... I have already let Sun Qing retire."

Zhang Quanzhong and Huang Hena dared to talk, but they thought to themselves that it would be useless to ask Sun Gu to retire, and there were a large group of big men such as Wen Yanbo.

If Wang Ju didn't force them to retreat, it would be impossible for him to come back.

If he doesn't come back, those seamen agree to let Wang Ju bring the gold and silver back to China?

It doesn't take too long, I'm afraid that a few years will really be like Wang Ju said, completely renovating the carriage of the Song Dynasty, but what can the two of them say? Could it be that, Master, you might as well get Wen Yanbo and the others down? One hundred Wen Yanbos are not as good as one Wang Ju.

Gao Taotao suddenly spoke again: "So, he used his gold and silver as a yard to trade with the official."

Huang He thought to himself, it was not only the gold and silver, the bank department, and the entire Xixia.

But Wang Ju does have that meaning, either to disturb other things or use me. If you use me, those ministers should be cleansed, the emperor, please do whatever you want.

So Huang He couldn't say it.

Zhang Quanzhong couldn't help but say, "Empress Dowager, Le Yi surrendered to Zhao State, but he was still the best minister, but Yan State is getting worse and worse."

The other party didn't ask for anything. Even if the court dismissed Wen Yanbo, Wang Ju might not have come back. Maybe he was moved and expelled the court officials and then became a free and easy king of a small country. But the Song Dynasty probably lost a great opportunity to revive since then.

Gao Taotao was also interested, so he was silent again.

Zhao Xu asked: "Zhang Qing, how many households are there in Fengzhou."

"Nearly two hundred thousand households."

"so much?"

“It is the area with the most concentrated population on the other side.”

"Are there any natives causing trouble?" Zhao Xu asked again.

The imperial court sent 18 officials to the other side last year. Not to mention the other side, even Qiongzhou Island was not willing to go. Moreover, because Wang Ju was brought overseas, Wu Nan beat Zhou Xun up violently. Who would still be willing to go? There is no need to choose, even if it is a small county magistrate, he would not be willing to be a magistrate there.

In the end, the court forced 18 officials, all of whom were the small lords of a county, or some tax officials who supervised the salt and wine in the shop. Before they left, Lao Wang deliberately wrote in the edict that they must focus on quietness after going to the other side. They did not seek governance, but wanted to pass the running-in period first, so that the people there would gradually recognize the court again.

In fact, there is no need for Lao Wang to give instructions, and no official dares to come over there to cause trouble. Isn’t it quiet? Let’s just calm down. After a few years of staying there, if you don’t mention a magistrate after you go back, you can at least be a magistrate.

Just be quiet, it’s just a matter of spending nearly 10,000 yuan a year to buy a court approval.

But not every official who comes here is like this. One official is probably stupid in his studies, or is used to being arrogant in China, and once he comes here, he starts to interfere in government affairs. Can he interfere in?

So there was a dispute between the people outside the prefecture city. The clerks below reported that they were taking people over to inspect. On the way, they met the natives and were dismembered by the corpse.

This message was sent to the capital.

Many people have doubts, but after they doubt, they took a breath of air conditioning. There is too lawless there.

But what else can I do? Should I send the censor Qiuhou to investigate on a boat? How dare the censor go?

However, Zhang Quanzhong didn't know about this. He replied: "Because we have been staying in Fengshi City and the scope of activities is not large, we have not seen the natives. But we visited the prefect of Le and the Princess of the Great Princess. According to them, the inner belly is already very peaceful. There are still many natives in the surrounding areas. But it is not as imagined by the imperial court. Although there is suppression, as long as it is quiet, even if it is a cannibal tribe, the local area will try its best to win over it. But even this marriage ban order will be abolished in the future. Once the immigration reaches 90%, the two parties can be allowed to intermarry."

It will take a long time to immigrate to occupy more than 90% of the people, and a huge fleet sails to the other side...

But this is not what Zhao Xu cares about. He asked: "Does there be many cannibal tribes?"

In fact, there were also people who ate people in the Song Dynasty. For example, the Kuixiaman, the leaders liked to eat people's hearts and livers. Zhao Kuangyin's brother-in-law ate more than a hundred beautiful maids in Luoyang. But in short, it was a very special phenomenon and everyone was disgusted, so Zhao Kuangyi asked his elder brother-in-law to behead him. In addition, when Li Chuyun was conquering Hunan, in order to shock the enemy, he picked dozens of obese prisoners from the prisoners of war and ordered his subordinates to share the food. As a result, the court found out and immediately dismissed from office.

Therefore, Wang Ju always talks about the fact that the leader of Kuixia is a vengeance on the hearts of the Han people. Even political enemies such as Sun Gu did not object.

"The big island where Fengzhou is located is a little better, especially the island that goes east, almost all of them are cannibals (Maori)."

"What are Wang Qing doing there?"

Zhao Xu asked inexplicably.

In fact, what he wanted to ask the most was whether Wang Ju had interfered in the government affairs there.

"Your Majesty. This servant is not very clear about it, but His Highness the Great Princess mentioned that Shaobao is very busy there. One is to study books, the other is to arrange people to go to the other side of the other side last year, and the third is to develop weapons and machinery that are of great use."

"Revise a book?"

"I think I am practicing a more profound mathematics book."

It can also be said that, but it cannot be said completely.

The scientific research foundation of the other side is the students Wang Ju taught in Guizhou and Quanzhou, as well as the simple math books he wrote before, and some instructions.

But after going to the other side, Wang Ju found a few of his proud students and divided all textbooks.

As in later generations, Chinese, mathematics, geography, history, politics, biology, physics, chemistry.

It’s just that due to conditions, it’s in the highest grade to study.

As for the meaning of the scriptures, they are scattered in Chinese along with the previous excellent articles and poems, or are analyzed in politics.

And he also selected major changes from various dynasties from ancient times to present, and analyzed their successes and failures.

Finally, there are some brainwashing articles.

This is a huge project and it may take more than ten years to complete it, but there is no need to be so anxious. It can be improved step by step in the future.

The other side of the other side is equally important, but Zhao Xu neglected it again, and he asked again: "What weapon is it?"

"I don't know much, but Your Highness once said some. She said why nomadic peoples have always been a danger to the Central Plains dynasty. Once the nomadic peoples stop war and their populations are reproduced rapidly, but the bitter and cold desert cannot feed so many people, so they often focus on the developed farming civilization of fixed farming and developed Central Plains. Once they go south, as long as they are not defeated, they will gain. However, if the Central Plains want to fight in the north, even if they win, they often cannot pay one-third of the military expenditure. Therefore, they are not very interested, and because of the lack of cavalry, the supply is dragged down, and they have not entered the desert. The cavalry is very motivated and has little interest in infantry, the low cost of military use is high, and the barbaric is high, and the barbaric is gentle, so the northern nomadic people have always become the biggest problem in the Central Plains."

This question is a bit complicated.

Just like the Song Dynasty bought a large number of sheep from the Liao Kingdom and Xixia every year, not cattle. Whether it is Xixia or Liao Kingdom, because of the cold, the number of cattle was too small.

A sheep in the marginal area is a one-many sum money, but in the capital it is a three-many sum money. Why do sheep have to be sent to the capital from the marginal area to be transported to the capital, consume weeds and food, and related taxes.

But the problem is there. For example, some merchants from the Liao Kingdom drove the sheep of the desert tribe to the border for trading, and only got a coin of money. So how much can those tribes be given to the desert? Often, a piece of silk can be exchanged for several sheep.

So no matter how many sheep they raised, they always lived a poor life. So some tribes sold their horses to the Song people through smuggling channels despite the bans from the Liao Kingdom and the Xixia. Only by selling horses can they get more wealth!

The second is food and salt.

Why can't these tribes slaughter the sheep and sell pickled bacon directly, which is easy to transport and can also sell other fur.

You should know that the salt in the Liao Kingdom is all on the Bohai side. If it is smuggled to the Song Dynasty by boat, it may be less than ten cents per pound. However, when transported to the desert, God knows what the cost has become? Therefore, the salt in Youzhou, Bohai, Liao Kingdom is only a few cents per pound, but the Baidadan tribe on the Xishan Mountain in the Liao Kingdom had to trade green salt from the Xixia people because of the high salt price.

In this case, even if there is a large amount of food in Youzhou, it is not easy to transport it to the desert. Therefore, the food of the tribes in the desert is still meat. If meat is used as the whole food, how many sheep should one person eat a year?

However, the water and soil in the desert began to deteriorate, so once the population was a little dense, a snow disaster often came and a large number of cattle and sheep were frozen to death, half of a tribe would die.

But this problem will not occur in Greater Australia. First, the settlements are now on the beach and the salt prices are very low. Second, although most of the pastures occupied by the settlements are semi-arid pastures, they are at least much better than the pastures in the desert. Third, the population here is too small.

However, even so, after Wang Ju came here, he still issued an order, and each ranch limited the number of horses, cattle and sheep according to the area. It didn’t matter if there were too many, so it was not allowed to raise it. Then he implemented the rotational grazing and pastoral regulation policies and organized some water conservancy.

This is where Wang Ju feels proud.

In the past life, Australia mainly consisted of a large group of European criminals and a small number of indigenous people, forming the earlier Australian people.

It is because of the advantage of the land and the vast land is sparsely populated, but these people are generally evacuated by nature. It can be said that there will be a water conservancy situation in Australia in a thousand years, and what will be a water conservancy situation in a thousand years.

If there are large continents, there are almost no large-scale water conservancy.

However, since the arrival of a large number of immigrants in the Song Dynasty, they had almost no government organization and began to spontaneously build some water conservancy projects. Especially in the middle reaches of Fengshou River, due to the low construction difficulty and the guidance of various officials, in just one and a half years, a limited manpower was used to build a water conservancy equivalent to half of the Zhengbai Canal, two main canals, more than fifty branch canals, and more than seventy reservoirs of large and small sizes, which led the water of Fengshou River to more than 100 miles northwest for irrigation.

This means that more excellent farmland and pastoral areas can appear.

Zhao Niannu didn't say this, but he also said it out.

"So Your Highness said that Shaobao is inventing some weapons, which can even offset the cavalry advantages of the nomadic peoples, so that they can get through once and for all."

"Oh." Zhao Xu was interested.

If this happens, not only the Western Xia, but also the Liao Kingdom can be completely defeated.

In fact, Huang He deliberately said this section, and the meaning was clearly: Emperor, what's the point of Wen Yanbo? Let him retire and invite Wang Ju back is truly useful to the Song Dynasty.

Look, they have not forgotten the safety of the Song Dynasty after they went to the other side.

But the next one is the hardest to say. (To be continued.)
