Let alone the Song Dynasty, which followed the Qing Dynasty in abolishing agricultural taxes, even a 10% reduction in harvest would cause huge turmoil in the Song Dynasty.
The land of the Song Dynasty is too big, there is too much to develop, and there are too many people to support. Throwing hundreds of thousands of coins to various parts of the Song Dynasty will only cause large waves. If you want to change the world, it is impossible to change the world.
impossible.
The Song Dynasty did not have as many ways to make money as the Qing Dynasty.
It can only develop through some government-run businesses and tax revenue, so it is naturally not as good as the Qing Kingdom.
Moreover, the population of the Song Dynasty more than doubled in fifteen years, and now has reached 160 million.
The territory of the Song Dynasty has not expanded, and almost all the places that can be divided have been divided.
Now if there is any rebellion among the naturalized tribes, almost no officials in the Song Dynasty court will appease them, and they all request to send troops to exterminate the tribes.
The reason why the officials in the Song Dynasty became so cruel was to kill people and free up land for distribution to the people.
In other words, the Song Dynasty had tens of millions more people to support, and the expenses required by the Song Dynasty were also rising sharply.
Naturally, not many can invest in development.
The population of several other fiefdoms has also increased dramatically in fifteen years.
Only Qing's population stopped growing after it soared to one million.
The population of Qingguo has always remained at one million.
Qing's current farmland can just meet the needs of one million people.
The people of Qing State went back to work in other workshops during their spare time. The income from the fields and the income from the workshops combined was very generous.
Some families with many men in the family will assign one or two men in the family to work full-time in the workshop.
The income will naturally be more generous.
After all, the Qing Kingdom now controls all the ships of the Song, Yang, Wei, Jin, East Tianzhu, West Tianzhu, and Beihai Kingdoms.
Some emerging things that have emerged in the past fifteen years have also been taken over by Qingguo.
A large business will naturally make a lot of money and distribute more money to the people who work.
The income of the people is naturally high.
As Zhang Zhong said before on the boat, in Qing State now, as long as you are willing to endure hardship, you can live a good life.
There is no way for lazy people to survive in Qingguo.
If you don't become diligent yourself, the Qing Dynasty court will help you become diligent.
The Qing Dynasty court will not only give you an official wife, but also throw you to the Northern Wasteland to open up wasteland after your wife becomes pregnant.
Eighty percent of the income from land reclamation will be given to your wife, children and mother by the court.
The term is five years.
After five years, if you become more diligent, you can return to Qingguo to live with your wife, children and mother.
After five years, if you are still lazy, the Qing Kingdom will send your wife, children, and mother to Beihuang to live with you in Beihuang.
After they arrive in the Northern Wilderness, they will not live a hard life.
After all, lazy people will become big landowners after arriving in the Northern Wilderness.
After they arrive in the Northern Wilderness, they will live a very prosperous life.
However, moving from the wealthy home of Qingguo to Beihuang, which is still in its initial development stage, is hard for most people, and the neighbors will poke your spine.
Of course, there are also some lazy people who are stubborn and stubborn.
After arriving in Beihuang, they are not only lazy, but also prodigal. They will soon lose all the land allocated to them by the Linhai Governor's Office.
Once the lazy people lose all their land, the Linhai Governor's Office will take back their slaves and then transfer them to the Northern Wilderness.
If you lose the Beihuang status, you must serve in the mines for three years.
All preferential treatment for Song people will also be cancelled.
Those who are unwilling to serve in the mines can join the Death Army and drive savages to fight. After gaining military merit, they can be reinstated.
The Qing Kingdom relied on this method to continuously transfer the surplus people in the Qing Kingdom to the Northern Wilderness.
It is precisely because of such a decree in the Qing Kingdom that the number of people in the Qing Kingdom has remained at one million.
In short, others cannot and cannot learn from Qing's wealth.
Kou Qing rolled his eyes when he looked at Zhao Yao, and changed the topic with a wry smile, "Chen Wengweng, my grandfather doesn't know about my coming here, right?"
Chen Datou said with a smile: "What do you think?"
Kou Qing smiled dryly and said: "My grandfather probably doesn't know..."
Chen Datou said pretentiously: "That's impossible to say."
Kou Qing said awkwardly: "Chen Wengweng, please stop scaring me."
Chen Datou laughed.
Kou Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Datou smiling, "It seems that my grandfather really didn't know, otherwise Chen Wengweng wouldn't have laughed so freely.
What does Chen Wengweng plan to do with our brothers?"
Chen Datou held Lao Qiang in his arms and said with a smile: "Since I bumped into you, you have to follow the rules."
Kou Qing said hurriedly: "Can't Chen Wengweng just pretend that he didn't see the boy and let him go?"
Chen Datou's smile became even brighter, "Your father said the same thing when I bumped into him five years ago."
Kou Qing looked at Chen Datou in astonishment.
Chen Datou smiled and said: "Don't look at me like that. Fifteen years ago, your father wanted to run away from home, but your great-great-grandfather stopped him. After your great-great-grandfather passed away, your father wanted to run away again, but your grandfather stopped him.
Stopped.
Five years ago, your father wrote a letter of credence, preparing to pass on the title of king of the country to you, and then ran away from home, but I caught him.
Your father begged me hard at that time and even promised me a huge profit..."
Chen Datou said this and did not continue.
Kou Qing's expression turned very miserable.
He understood what Chen Datou said.
Chen Datou told him that his father had not succeeded in escaping from Chen Datou even though he was trying to lure him. It was impossible for him to just ask Chen Datou to let him go with empty words.
"Chen Wengweng..."
Zhao Yao shouted softly from the side and looked at Chen Datou with a pleading look.
Chen Datou immediately waved his hand and said: "No, we are not from the same family."
Zhao Yao said righteously: "My name is Kou Yao now!"
Chen Datou was stunned and said in astonishment: "In order to have a relationship with me, you even gave up your ancestors?"
Zhao Yao Dayi said calmly: "My mother's surname is Kou."
Chen Datou slapped his forehead and sighed: "I suddenly remembered what the old emperor once said, 'If you don't do something, you won't die.'"
Zhao Yao looked at Chen Datou in astonishment and said, "What do you mean?"
Chen Datou clicked his lips and said, "Have you two never thought that I, an expeditionary general with a heavy responsibility, would appear at the dock at this time and bump into you two?"
Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment.
Kou Qing reacted immediately, "Someone followed him and sent you news through some secret channels?"
Chen Datou smiled and nodded: "What you said is right. But one thing I must remind you is that since the old emperor left Bianjing City, he did not treat the officials of the Song Dynasty very much, and he did not meet the officials of the Song Dynasty in private.
officials.
There are only four people in the Song Dynasty who are qualified to deliver news to us."
Kou Qing said in shock: "No way?!"
Zhao Yao's face turned pale in an instant.
Before Zhao Yao could react, an old hand appeared on his shoulder, and a gloomy voice sounded.
"It's really the strangest news in the world that the eldest son of the royal family no longer needs the imperial surname. Could it be that this slave in our family is unqualified and failed to teach the eldest son of the royal family the rules?"
