Chapter 577 Big sticks and sweet dates

In this era, Zhao Xi will not foolishly promote ownership by the whole people, it is unrealistic.

I remember that there was a saying and definition about feudalism in later generations. It was believed that starting from the Qin Dynasty, all dynasties were no longer feudal, but a social form of centralized imperial power.

Only when Zhao Xi came to this era did he truly understand whether it was feudalism or not.

According to the original historical trajectory, after a hundred years, it may really have become a society with imperial power and totalization. It is impossible to say for sure in the future, but the Song Dynasty was by no means an imperial power concentration, but another form of feudalism.

The Song Dynasty did not divide the land, and did not establish princes. Instead, it was an era in which a few people were given privileges to rule over the majority. It was just that this minority was a class, or a class that changed at any time... the scholars.

Or maybe the Song Dynasty was an era when feudalism and centralization coexisted.

Because this minority class benefited, a social environment and atmosphere in which the scholar class maintained centralized rule was formed throughout the country.

As an emperor, Zhao Xi had to protect this class carefully if he wanted to keep this dynasty alive for a long time.

In view of the worldview formed by later generations, the only thing he could do was to make this dynasty as strong as possible and achieve common prosperity as much as possible.

Zhao Xi knows that in fact, people have different understandings of wealth. In later generations, some people regard earning 100 million as a small goal. Some people think that having an apartment in the city is rich. At the same time, some people think that building a big tiled house in their hometown is considered rich.

The same is true in today's era.

The earliest batch of Xiang soldiers were a wealthy group for the whole imperial army. Even those soldiers who were the first to become civilians considered themselves to be wealthy families. They did not

Knowing that for the work they put in, more value is earned by the owners.

Society, in its normal state, should be divided into classes, regardless of era or region.

Therefore, Zhao Xi must take out the resources of the four Yunying states and share them with the classes that rule this era.

At the same time, he also needs to seek benefits for the so-called imperial court. The imperial court is a concept. It can refer to him alone, Zhao Xi, or it can be said that the court is the imperial court. To a larger point, the emperor, ministers and people together are the imperial court.

"Twenty percent goes to the court, 10% goes to the royal family, 20% is allocated by the garrison and the workshop city, and the rest is claimed by the public. But the authority is still only the right to distribute dividends, but not the right to participate in decision-making. Prime Minister Fu, why did the government give up the decision-making power this time?

Give it to a state-run temple?”

No one in the political hall was surprised by the government's plan to allocate Yunying's resources to the four prefectures. It was just that the benefits given away were larger.

But the government gave the management rights to the imperial government's Yamen State-run Temple, which is a bit confusing.

"Prime Minister Han, it should be managed by the imperial court. Since it is an industry of the country, it is not appropriate for the royal family to simply lead it!"

Han Qi didn't take Wang Anshi's words seriously at all...~ This Badger Man could be considered to be good at making money, but to say that he could understand the official's intentions was to think too highly of him.

Compared to Wang Jiefu, Han Qi was more familiar with the official family than Wang Jiefu, but Fu Yanguo was the best able to understand the official's intention, even if he only realized it later.

"No one knows how to handle things better than the official family, no one understands the far-reaching considerations of the official family, and no one is more meticulous than the official family."

"Before this, all industries were run by the royal family or the workshop city. In fact, it was to train talents for the imperial court to engage in the management of this new industry. It was also to set an example for everyone and set a reference for future industrial management."

"From the original intention, the steward is not seeking wealth, but seeking for the country. It is not surprising that he is handed over to the imperial court."

"And the industries directed by officials have flourished in recent years, and facts have proved the value of this method. So what if it is handed over to the court?"

There is another point that Fu Bi did not mention. As long as Gongfang City is in the hands of the officials and they control the Yanmen Pass natural barrier, the four states of Yunying will really not be able to make any trouble.

Gongfang City is a bellwether for the demand for various resources, and Yanmen Pass and rail transportation directly determine the channels for the domestic sales of resources in Yunying Four Prefectures. Although the government has let go of the initiative, it still has a strong influence on the resource output of Yunying Four Prefectures.

He has considerable say power. What's more, Xue Xiang is also a die-hard loyalist to the official family.

Fu Bi can be sure that the officials have such thoughts, so he can be regarded as a taboo for the emperor! When did the officials let things get out of control?

"Everyone, do you have any opinions on the principles of the official decree? If not, let's make it known to the world. At the same time, let's make the customs clearance policy clear to the world through various types of reports."

Fu Bi could sense the anxiety of the officials, and he was still on the return carriage, so he couldn't wait to turn the plan into a civilized form.

It was indeed time to be anxious. The reform of the imperial government's official system was at a critical moment when it was stopped by the war and was delayed for more than a year.

As a result, the environment and atmosphere created by the officials in the early stage and the carefully planned timing were all wasted in more than a year.

The road ahead is long!

Those who really feel that the road ahead is long include those useless forbidden troops in Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongdong-ro, and Gyeongxi-ro.

"Cuju Express" and "Shi Lun", newspapers facing the general public, published in the most eye-catching position on the front page the imperial court's policy towards these useless forbidden troops and the common people: working as a miner in Izumo, transferring to civilian status and allocating land.

Whether this is an opportunity or a risk is really hard to figure out.

To say that being a miner has been a proven fact among the entire military, it is definitely a good thing.

But now we are going to the four states of Yunying. Is that a border state, or a border state that has just been recovered? Can it be stable?

Dali Mining City is good, even if it is within the territory of Dali, I don’t worry about it, because Dali has never taken advantage of the Song Dynasty. The Northern Liao Dynasty is different. For more than a hundred years, the Song Dynasty won the battle of Yanmen. Who

Any idea what will happen next?

Carboniferous and gold, silver, copper, iron and aluminum deposits have been explored in Yunying Four Prefectures. Who knows whether Bei Liao will go crazy and whether the army will invade the border and take back Yunying Four Prefectures again?

By that time, not to mention the miners and the fields, I am afraid that even a small life may not be left behind.

However, the benefits provided by the imperial court are indeed enviable.

Not only does he work as a miner, but he also allocates grain fields to his family.

As soldiers of the Forbidden Army, they had no land, only military pay, which they had deducted from their superiors.

The earliest miners were all extremely rich. Not to mention how they showed off when they came back to visit their relatives every year, even their relatives were pulling them to go to the mining town to make a fortune.

Compared to Dali, Yunying Sizhou is really not that far away.

How big is the mining city? And Yunying Sizhou, it is the land of the four states! No matter how hard the Forbidden Army is, they are also soldiers and have been trained in war. If all the Forbidden Army are converted to civilians, plus the troops stationed in Yunying Sizhou

The New Army may not be afraid of Bei Liao!

Besides, I heard that the imperial court will lay a direct track to Yunzhou, which means that the imperial court will be able to transport troops outside the customs very quickly, and it should not be afraid of the Northern Liao invasion.

Alas...~What should I do?

The reason why the imperial court gave such preferential treatment this time was probably because it wanted to completely convert all the forbidden troops into civilians.

If this opportunity is lost, or only a small part is left, will the court still give him a way to survive?

Big sticks and sweet dates, are there any options?
