Su Chi now has a disagreement with Ji Yi.

Although Su Chi is also a reformist, he is a scholar-official after all!

Although Ji Yi was born as a Jinshi, the thinking of a merchant always exists in his subconscious. Or in his bones, Ji Yi is a profitable businessman, exactly the same as Wu Haogu.

Therefore, Ji Yi's policies represent the interests of industry and commerce, and the purpose is to allow the industry and commerce of Song to fight against the industry and commerce of Zhou.

In military terms, he did not engage in any military soldiers or knights, but recruited soldiers. That is, he used the taxes paid by the industry and commerce of more than ten southeastern states to establish mercenaries to fight against the military citizens of the Zhou State.

But now the problem is. The development of coastal industry and commerce is based on the "economic colonization" of the mainland. In other words, the more the coastal development, the more depressed the mainland will be. The literati and officials and the general public will be disgusted with coastal industry and commerce, although they still need cheap and affordable goods...

Another problem that cannot be ignored is that the population of the Song Dynasty was approaching the upper limit of land carrying!

Now the population of the Song Dynasty has approached or exceeded 100 million!

This number is much smaller than the 400 million in the late Qing Dynasty and 200 million in the late Ming Dynasty. But the problem is that the Song Dynasty did not have American crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. Moreover, the area of ​​the Song Dynasty was not as large as that of the late Ming Dynasty.

Without the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, half of Cangzhou, Liaodong, western Liaoning, Lingzhou, Xingzhou and Hexi Corridors in the northwest, most of Yunnan and Guizhou are not within the territory.

In addition, the development of Jinghu South Road in the Northern Song Dynasty was insufficient. The population in various parts of the south was relatively small, and the population was still crowded in the increasingly barren Central Plains.

The contradiction between people and land in the Central Plains is becoming increasingly prominent!

If we only took out several roads from the Central Plains to compare with the late Ming and late Qing dynasties, the population density and the conflict between people and land would probably be no worse at all.

Under this circumstance, the industry and commerce in Southeast and Tianjin are seriously impacting the handicrafts of farmers in the Central Plains.

It is conceivable that social contradictions are becoming increasingly intensified...

Su Chi's response method is mainly "free". He will exempt the farmers in the Central Plains from duty, service and owing abundance whenever he has the opportunity. What kind of drought, flooding, stones falling from the sky, and auspiciousness wherever he has a place. Zhao Ji got his eldest grandson. In short, he has no reason and no reason to submit a request for tax exemption, service and owing abundance, so he has the nickname "Three Free Mysterious Dukes".

In addition to "exemption", Su Chi has another move, which is not to recruit soldiers, but to recruit military households.

Anyone who has no food, no farming, or no wife can apply for military service and move their family to the local bullies of three overseas fiefdoms, including the country of Java (Java Prince Zhao Shu), the country of Xingzhou (Xing County King Zhao Qi), and the country of Rong (located in the north of the Xingzhou Peninsula, in the area of ​​Songkhla Prefecture in Thailand in later generations, Zhao Lingrang, the fifth-generation grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, served as the Duke of the State).

By the way, among the four kings of the four foreign country, only Duke Rong Zhao Lingrang, and also commanded the Great Protector of the South China Sea.

The other three kings did not join the country, so they were all regents sent by the imperial court, which was actually the same as those of prefectures and counties. The management level was not high, and it was even a bit bad.

However, after immigrating, the Han people can still get land and marry a wife, live a comfortable and close life (if you accidentally go to heaven).

In addition to these three Nanyang fiefdoms, the Nanyang Protectorate also governs two "free cities": Xingzhou City (that is, Jijiapo, which does not belong to the Xingzhou Kingdom) and Ceylon Guangming City (Mo Niangzi's territory).

In order to maintain these three countries and two cities, and to compete with the Nanyang Provinces of Zhou, the Java Franchise Chamber of Commerce, the Jinzhou Franchise Chamber of Commerce, the Borneo Franchise Chamber of Commerce, the Luzon Franchise Chamber of Commerce, and the Champ Franchise Chamber of Commerce. The Song Dynasty also established the Nanyang Navy with Xingzhou as its large base, which was equipped with dozens of galloping and gunboats!

The Song Dynasty now seems to be a colonial empire!

Although the "free" and "recruitment" of the third exemption husband Su Chi eased the social conflicts in the Central Plains, it also caused a large financial hole.

Su Chi's solution is to add the financial burden to Southeast industry and commerce, because they have money anyway.

"This..." Ji Yi thought about it and then thought, "If we could move the capital to Xuzhou, these three taxes would be exempted. The court lived in a strong city in Xuzhou and controlled the wealth path in the world, so we could increase taxes to the southeast. Otherwise, we would be afraid that the southeast would change!"

Ji Yi, the "capital spokesperson", made great plans, not just as simple as reducing taxes for industry and commerce. Instead, he wanted to change the cornerstone of the Song Dynasty from the scholar-officials to the Southeast industry and commerce, and moving the capital to Xuzhou was the most critical step.

Su Chi shook his head, how could it be so easy to move the capital?

Uncle Zhang saw the two husbands discussing and off topic, and quickly coughed: "Why not do this? First, we will mobilize troops from Hebei East Road, and then order Zhaoyi Town to prepare for the war. No matter what, we must always make a gesture and scare Zhou State."

"What do you say about the official family?" Su Chi asked.

"Just just in case," Tong Guan said, "If the Jurchens lose quickly, our dynasty can also set up defenses in Hebei to prevent Zhou from taking advantage of the victory of the southern expedition."

"Okay," Ji Yi nodded, "Just say that! The Jurchens said that our dynasty will deploy the 150th Battalion soldiers in Hebei... It seems that we have to do it!"

...

Dongliao, Daning Prefecture.

Xiao Sesse, 37, looks younger than her actual age. Because she has been exercising for a long time, she has a good figure and looks radiant.

After the Second Battle of Linhuang Prefecture, her reputation on the grasslands in Dongliao was completely gained.

That defeated 35,000 Jin soldiers with 20,000 people! And it also played a 1-10 exchange ratio. What’s even more rare is that this is the result achieved in the field!

Such a record has not even been achieved by the powerful Zhou army, but it has made her win the battle.

So the current situation is very clear, she is the leader of the revival of the Great Liao Dynasty!

It is only a matter of time to recapture Linhuang Prefecture, Datong Prefecture, Keduncheng, and then rebuild the grassland hegemony of the Liao Kingdom.

At that time, she became the real heroine of the Great Liao and the Queen of the Grassland...

"Mother, my son will meet with Mother." The child's voice sounded in Xiao Sesse's ears. She turned her head and saw that it was the prince's brother and the left army, Wanhu Yeluyi, who has arrived.

Now Dongliao no longer implements the palace and tribal system, but instead breaks up tribes and palace and guards, and then implements a system of coexistence of ten thousand households and county systems. It set up military households on the grasslands and places the land to be stationed in the pastoral herds. The county and county systems are adopted in the agricultural areas around Daning Prefecture.

In recent years, due to the revival of the Dongliao Army, many small tribes on the grassland have attracted to join us. Xiao Sesse, regardless of their tribes and races, all of which were divided into hundreds of households and thousands of households, and merged them into ten thousand households. Therefore, the number of households has also increased, from the original three to five. It was organized into five front, back, left, right and middle five armies. Among them, Xiao Sesse led the right army ten thousand households, Yelu Yi led the left army ten thousand households, Xiao Sesse and Wu Haogu's other son Xiao Yun led the rear army ten thousand households, Xiao Sesse's brother-in-law Yelu Yukang led the front army ten thousand households, and the nominal king Yelu Aoluwu led the middle army ten thousand households.

However, three of these five ten thousand households were not enough, with only about 8,000 households. Only Xiao Sesse's own Youjun Wanhu and Yeluyi's Zuojun Wanhu reached about 10,000 households. The strongest troops and the best equipment were also the ones. The troops that formed the Tuocheng came from these two ten thousand households. It was Xiao Sesse's main force.

Yeluyi is only eight years old this year, so of course it is impossible for him to really command the Zuojun Wanhu, so he has been following Xiao Sesse. The Zuojun Wanhu is actually directly led by Xiao Sesse.

Now Wu Haogu wants Yeluyi to study in Tianjin and receive the best military training education so that he can command the ten thousand households of the left army in the East Liao Dynasty to traverse the grassland in the future.

Although Xiao Sesse was a little reluctant, he also knew it was time to send Yeluyi to Tianjin.

"The Queen of Mother." The one who came with Yelu Yi was Yu Liyan, who had married a wife and became a mother.

Yu Liyan's husband is Wu Yixin, the second son of Wu Haogu. Wu Yixin graduated from the Knights Academy three years ago and obtained the rank of lieutenant. Now he is the captain engineer Jiyi, serving in the Military Agencies of the East Liao Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty. This military Agencies are very large, with thousands of people, and have branches in the 10,000 households of the Three Army and each of the Thousand Houses of the East Liao Dynasty. He is the actual training and commander of the East Liao army!

The Battle of Fame - the Second Linhuangfu Battle is the masterpiece of this Jiyituan.

The "Camel City Tactics" that the Eastern Liao Army is proud of was created by Lieutenant General Li Xiaozhong, the current commander of the Yiyi.

At the same time, this Jiyituan is also a place where Zhou army officers gain practical experience. Almost all Zhou army officers have served in this Jiyituan.

"Yu Liyan," Xiao Sesse saw his daughter's belly thrust up again, and said with a smile, "How is the one in her belly?"

"Always make noise," Yu Liyan, who was pregnant again, looked particularly beautiful. She stroked her erect belly and smiled, "It seems that she is another boy."

She had already given birth to a boy to Wu Yixin, named Wu Anren, and was also Wu Haogu's second grandson.

The eldest grandson of the Wu family is the son of Zhao Yupan and Wu Yiyong, named Wu'ansheng.

Wu Haogu now has a grandson named Zhao Borong, who was named Prince of Donghai.

In addition to Wu Anren, Xiao Sesse also has a grandson, the son of King Yelu Aoluwo of Eastern Liao, named Yelu Fu - the meaning of which of course revives the Great Liao Dynasty of the Yelu family!

The Liao Dynasty is about to be revived now, but its surname is Wu, Xiao, or Yelu is hard to say.

Thinking of the hidden dangers in the country, Xiao Se sighed quietly. Yu Liyan understood his mother's situation and whispered: "My mother should follow the example of Emperor Zetian."
