"Zhou's skills are retro! It's definitely retro! Zhou's skills are not in industry and commerce, but in the countryside. However, Zhou's hometown is suppressing mergers and comparing land! This is the method of retro!"

The Sichuan accent sounded in the embassy of the Song Dynasty in Tianjin. The speaker seemed very excited, his voice was very high, and his speaking speed was very fast, which surprised Wang Fu, the son of Bianliang. Is the person in front of me really He Li, the new top scholar in the subject?

The three heroes of the He family have now completed the inspection of the Tianjin Prefecture of Zhou State and have become three Zhou factions.

He Li even found the key to the road to revival of the Song Dynasty from the countryside of Zhou.

The Zhou Kingdom did not become stronger by industry and commerce, but by implementing retro in the countryside, resolutely curbing mergers and implementing equalization of land, so that it became strong.

There were very few private lands that could be bought and sold freely in Zhou State, and most of the land was banned from being sold. The intensity of suppressing annexation was probably rare since ancient times.

Of course, although the equal land in Zhou State was not a single share of land per capita, the land was distributed to the knights and the soldiers.

Moreover, the equal fields of Zhou State can be granted and collected. As long as the knights and the soldiers of the government cannot fulfill their obligations and do not achieve "lifelong enjoyment" (need to become lifelong citizens), the fields will be resolutely taken back.

In He Li's view, the land system of Zhou State was actually a retro regression in the land system of the Song Dynasty. It should have been improved on the basis of equal fields between Sui and Tang Dynasties, and absorbed some advantages of the military merit system of the Warring States Period.

This level of retro is the root of the military power of the Zhou State. The military power of the Zhou State is where the Song Dynasty needs to learn.

The industry and commerce of Zhou State did not need to be learned at all. The industry and commerce of several major commercial cities along the coast of Song Dynasty, as well as the five Silk Prefectures "Suhang Xiu Mingyue (Yue)" are no worse than that of Tianjin.

In addition, in He Li's view, the industrial and commercial cities and five Silk Prefectures of the Song Dynasty were destroying the rural economy and were of no benefit to the country.

"Wenzhen, what are you talking about?" Wang Fu still tried hard to understand some of He Li's Sichuan Mandarin, "Suppress the merger and move to equalize the fields?"

"By the way!" He Li, who was excited, didn't care about the top scholar's demeanor, but said quickly and urgently, "The strong Zhou State is to suppress the merger and equalize the fields... And the weak of our Song Dynasty is to have too many mergers, and there is no land to be equal to the soldiers."

Do you dare to say this? Wang Fu looked at He Tang and He Jing who arrived with He Li. Both of them frowned deeply, and they didn't know whether they did not agree with the top scorer or were worried that He Li would cause trouble.

"If my Song Dynasty cannot suppress the merger, we will be able to equalize the fields," He Li's tone has already subsided. "In less than twenty years, the Zhou Kingdom will come to help us suppress the merger and equalize the fields!"

"Help?" Wang Fu didn't understand, "How to help?"

"It's been the turmoil in Yuyang that came!" He Li said with a heartache.

"Who Wenzhen, be careful!" Wang Fu looked down on his face, but said in his heart: What are you talking nonsense? The Song Dynasty is now a saint, and there are many people in the dynasty. How could he be afraid of the Yuyang drum?

"This dynasty does not kill those who write to the books and speak in order to keep the truth and let the truth reach the heavens listen!"

He Li then said seriously: "Zhi Jian is the Minister to Tianjin. Don't you know that the Zhou people were happy when they heard about the war these days? Now that the Zhou Kingdom has only been established for a few years, the knights and soldiers of the palace are still the first generation. Twenty years later, I don't know how many knights who have no land to separate from, and the children of the palace soldiers, they are red-eyed and want to come south to steal the land of our Song people!

They are much stronger than the Anshi Rebellion Army! Can the military strength of our Song Dynasty be compared with the Tang Dynasty during the Tianbao period?"

What are you worried about when things happen twenty years later?

Wang Fu just shook his head, but he was speechless. How many days did He Li come to Zhou State? Who knows the Zhou faction? He, Wang Fu, watched the Great Zhou State grow up step by step! Do you know the secret of Zhou State's military strength?

But what if you know this? Go to the court to shout?

If you want to develop industry and commerce and increase your income, be sure to shout, and at most people don’t like you, and they won’t do anything to you.

It is also possible to start a military school and form a new army. Although the new army is not as reliable as the imperial guards, it is necessary to defend the court after all, and it is impossible not to practice it.

And suppress the merger and move to the equal land... I yelled that this would die!

Seeing Wang Fu silent, He Li thought the other party was moved by him, so he suggested: "Wang Waijian, you are the envoy of the court to Zhou State and have the responsibility to investigate the virtuality and reality of Zhou State. It is better to write a letter to the court with your subordinates, suggesting that the court master Zhou Changjie, return to equalize the fields and use the fields to support soldiers!"

Is there a letter? This time, not only was Wang Fu a little sweating, but He Li's brothers also sweated coldly. This time, the three of them received an impossible task. They will definitely be punished after returning to Beijing! Isn't it just a crime to be punished if they say that Jun Tian is a crime? At that time, I am afraid it will be impossible to go to Jiaozhi...

...

When Wu Haogu arrived at the inner hall of the Head of the Palace, Lin Chong and Liu Ze had been waiting in the waiting hall outside the door for a long time. The two Yuan Cong confidants of Wu Haogu are now old. Lin Chong is in his early fifties, but people look young, as if they are only in forty years, burly and strong, and energetic.

Liu Ze is Liu Ergou. In his early years, he was just a thug leader in Kaifeng Prefecture. Later, he became the thug leader of Jiehe Market under the support of Wu Haogu. Now he is still a leader in the world. He not only has power in Tianjin, but also a person who everyone admires in the world of Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, and Jingxi.

The purpose of supporting such a leader in the world is to use the forces in the world to collect information from the Song State and smuggle people into the Zhou State. Although the rule of Song State is relatively relaxed, it will still restrict population mobility, especially population out of the country.

Due to the rapid expansion, the Zhou State conquered many large and sparsely populated areas. It also enfeoffed a large number of strong men from Yan to become knights and soldiers, and thus a labor force was tight, so it was urgently needed to replenish the population.

The Goryeo War, which can definitely be won, will win more than 150,000 square kilometers of land for the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Northern Goryeo Kingdom decided to give up did not include some mountainous areas near Helandian, so the combined north and south Goryeo only had a territory area of ​​about 150,000 square kilometers. However, the population loss of Goryeo is more serious than the land loss. Years of war with the Jurchens caused the Goryeo to lose too many strong men. The population of North Goryeo was plundered by the Jurchens. And South Goryeo lost a lot of population due to the famine after the war.

According to the newly established Andong Xingtai Province, the population of Goryeo in the north and south is less than 4 million. If another round of invasion and occupation by Zhou State, the population will be further reduced by hundreds of thousands to one million (not that it is killed, and a large number of noble populations will be forced to move).

The population of Goryeo may eventually drop to about 3.2 million, while the loss ratio of young and middle-aged men will be even worse.

This is a great opportunity for the Han people to enter a large number of them to help Goryeo build capitalism... But the problem is that there are not many Han people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the calculation is only four or five million.

If Goryeo really became a province of the Great Zhou, the proportion of Han people in the Great Zhou area in the total population would probably fall to about 40%.

Is it possible to not add a large number of Han people to come in? In the future, the Great Zhou Kingdom is definitely an autonomous region of ethnic minority!

A Song Dynasty, which was relatively politically and economically stable, was obviously not conducive to the Zhou Dynasty's population acquisition.

Therefore, the chaos on May 4th and Zhao Ji's southern tour in Kaifeng Prefecture made Wu Haogu smell a scent of chaos in the world.

Seeing Wu Haogu coming, Lin Chong and Liu Ze, who were originally sitting, stood up to salute. Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Don't be too polite. Come in and talk, how is the situation in the south?"

Lin Chong and Liu Ze followed Wu Haogu into the inner hall. The so-called inner hall is relative to the general public, but it is actually an office.

The inner hall of Wu Haogu's head of state is of course large and spacious, and the decoration is very luxurious. Small pieces of flat glass are even used on the windows. Tianjin now has a glass industry, and a manual blower method introduced from Europe is to blow the glass liquid into a cylindrical shape, cut it and spread it flat when the glass is still hot, forming flat glass.

From the perspective of later generations, this kind of flat glass has a very poor quality. It has uneven thickness, some concave and convex surface, and the inside of the glass is very turbid, and its light transmittance is not very good. However, in Tianjin, which is currently a first-class luxury product. That is, Wu Haogu has the financial resources to paste this luxury product on the window. Of course, he paid for it himself. It is impossible for public funds to pay for such excessive luxury decoration.

In addition to the glass window, Wu Haogu also likes to use glass-covered lamps, and put two on the side of Wu Haogu's desk. However, it is daytime and it has not been lit.

There are also many official documents piled up on the desk, all of which are the Senate, the Government Affairs Hall (in charge of the left and right ministers), the Dujun Pilot and Naval Pilot and other yamen offices, the life of the head of state of Wu Haogu is actually very boring. There are always six or seven hours a day spent in the sea of ​​literary meetings. Almost all year round!

You should know that Wu Haogu is not a dictator who will do everything personally, but a leader of the Republic assisted by the Senate, Government Affairs Hall, and Navy and Land Command.

This is already so busy that he is full of energy. If he really ascended the throne and became a single husband, he really doesn't know what he will be busy with.

As for being a "Daozong" like Zhao Ji, it is not the style of a founding king. Moreover, the Zhou State was a country with the beginning of all industries and there were not so many old examples to follow. If a king does not act, it would easily lead to a downward movement of authority.

Wu Haogu, who was in power, sat opposite Lin Chong and Liu Ze, looking happy and angry, "What about Kaifeng Prefecture? Is there a possibility of a change? What should be the rise of Shilin rookies after the fourth day of May? Can those leaders who incite the change be connected? What do they want to do? Do you need our help?"
