The gap caused by the technological generation gap cannot be made up by simple administrative means or other means...
While the Fulu rail transit construction has been completed in the area controlled by the village, the area controlled by the government still uses traditional transportation methods. It doesn't take much thinking to understand how huge the gap is during this period.
Our village did not blatantly fight with the local officials, nor did we actively provoke the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.
According to Governor Chai, as far as the officials of the Song Dynasty were concerned, they did not need external force to force them, and the country of the Song Dynasty would naturally collapse.
When the time comes, the Governor-General of Yanyun will appear with an attitude of taunting the people and crusading, and I am afraid that it will be able to easily take over the festering territory of the Song Dynasty.
They are all Han Chinese regimes, and the resistance among the so-called scholar-bureaucrats and heroes will not be too deep.
Taking action now is a traitor that is despised by everyone. Why should you bear such a bad name?
The fact is indeed true. A group of gentry and local tyrants on the east and west roads of Jingdong were unwilling to lose control of the local area and wanted to test the measures. After being severely beaten back by their own village, they did not cause a strong rebound from the local government.
The local officials didn't say anything, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty naturally didn't care...
At this time, Emperor Daojun was preoccupied with building various beautiful and fancy grand projects, and did not understand the heavy pressure and blow that such efforts would have on the Song Dynasty.
He also wanted to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, and from time to time he would recall Tong Guan who was in Taiyuan to discuss how to destroy the hated Yanyun Governor's Mansion.
Tong Guan was also at a loss, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only follow the Emperor Dao and play the funny trick of opening up borders with the simple map.
However, Daojun and Emperor enjoyed it endlessly, while Tong Guan was tortured.
It's not that he suddenly realized his conscience, but it's not that easy to conceal the strength of the Yanyun Governor's Mansion.
If it is an oversight and you accidentally tell the truth, you are asking for trouble.
As for the rest of the "important ministers", they were fighting among themselves to please Emperor Daojun, and at the same time they had to rack their brains to find ways to get money for Emperor Daojun and the Song Dynasty, whose finances were almost in ruins.
Hua Shi Gang was just a child, and the most serious damage to the local order in the Song Dynasty was the Kuotian Institute that was built later.
The entire Jiangnan region had been weakened by the Fang La disaster, but the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty did not care about the endurance of the people in Jiangnan and continued to exploit them wildly, leaving the people of Jiangnan in dire straits.
Many people had no way of living and had no courage to raise a flag to rebel. They actually contacted Fang La's secret agents and planned to move their families to the large offshore island occupied by Fang La to escape the crazy exploitation of the Song Dynasty monarchs.
For Fang La, this was an unexpected surprise...
Then, several shipyards under the control of the Yanyun Metropolitan Governor's Office received large orders for shipbuilding, which even alarmed Pei Xuan, the temporary government chief of the Metropolitan Governor's Office. He wondered why the shipyard's business was suddenly so booming?
After figuring out the reason, Pei Xuan could not help but remain silent for a while, and then told it as a joke at a high-level internal meeting of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.
"It seems that Da Song is hopeless!"
It was not clear what the other leaders were thinking, but Governor Chai's thoughts were a bit complicated. He shook his head and sighed: "Even worse than Yang Guang!"
If this word spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.
But if you think about it carefully, Emperor Daojun is really not as good as Yang Guang.
"We don't need to do anything more, just watch. I estimate that within a few years, the Song Dynasty will be at war again!"
"Of course, the order in the area we control must not be disrupted, and we may even want to accept displaced people on a large scale!"
"There aren't that many places for resettlement in the north, and the south is not peaceful either. Can they be resettled outside the sea?"
"Even Fang La knows that he is recruiting people from the mainland. Our shipyard is quite large and we cannot fall behind!"
"It is said that there is a huge island opposite Jeju Island. Its area is much larger than Jeju Island, and the number of people it can accommodate is also amazing. We cannot let it go easily!"
"Some moves are difficult to perform in the land of Yanyun, both east and west of Jingdong. Can they be put on the giant island outside the sea?"
Speaking of this, his heart suddenly moved...
Was the previous idea a bit too conservative, and was it not a good thing for the Central Plains?
Not to mention that Governor Chai had a sudden whim, the high-level civil and military officials under his command couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what the Governor meant?
Pei Xuan had a righteous temper and asked directly: "What is the intention of the Grand Governor?"
Governor Chai Dadu came to his senses and said with a smile: "Do you know what the population of the Song Dynasty was at this time?"
this……
A group of high-level civil and military officials were immediately confused. How did they know this?
Governor Chai said with a smile: "Not to mention other things, the number of rural people under our control on the east and west roads of Jingdong exceeds 20 million!"
"Don't doubt it. This is the number slowly calculated by our brothers after more than a year of hard work. Basically, there is not much difference!"
Speaking of this, Governor Chai looked around at his subordinates and said leisurely: "This does not include cities with higher population density!"
"It is estimated that the urban population on the east and west roads of Jingdong will not be less than five million at least!"
A group of high-level civil and military officials couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They now understood what Governor Chai was thinking.
The population of the east and west roads of Jingdong exceeds 25 million, as well as the population of Huaixi and Huaidong, the population of Hebei and Henan, the population of Jiangnan, and the population of the northwest...
Tsk tsk, it’s not like I don’t know, I’m just shocked!
It is estimated that the population of the Song Dynasty exceeds 100 million, but not much less.
Think about how to govern a population of 100 million, and the most important thing is how to keep them fed?
Oh, I almost forgot, there is also a very densely populated Sichuan and Sichuan area. Just thinking about it makes my scalp numb.
They have no crazy idea of initiating a war and shaving them off in the course of the war.
Whenever I think about the fact that when the Song Dynasty falls, they will take over such a big business, I can't help but feel weak.
Really, the senior civil and military officials present were a little scared...
As for considering these things now, is it too early?
Not early at all!
Governor Chai’s constant ‘prompts’, as well as various information collected over the years, indicate that the foundation of the Song Dynasty’s rule is rapidly decaying and crumbling, and there is no telling when it will be completely over.
At least, people's livelihood is almost unsustainable, but Emperor Daojun and the important ministers around him are still sparing no effort to plunder the world.
The most important thing is that except for the northwest frontier army of Xixia, there is no regular army in the entire Song Dynasty that can fight. What a terrible thing.
Once a single spark can start a prairie fire, the Song Dynasty will completely fall into purgatory.
As the force most likely to take over the mess left by the Great Song Dynasty, the Yanyun Governor's Office would naturally not let such a thing happen.
"In order to win over the scholar-bureaucrats, the Song Dynasty really did everything possible, and even directly relaxed the restrictions on land annexation. Isn't this a path to self-destruction?"
After the senior civil and military officers under his command digested it for a while, Governor Chai said angrily: "In the Song Dynasty at present, the people who make up the vast majority of the population have no place to stand, that is, they have no fields that can barely survive. Once a disaster occurs, they will be devastated.
The scene?”
"That is to say, the prosperity of business in the Song Dynasty can provide a large number of service jobs, allowing the people at the bottom of the city to barely survive, but that's it!"
"We have to plan ahead, secretly gather a large number of landless refugees, and transport them by sea to live on nearby large offshore islands. This is equivalent to saving their lives!"
"One Jeju Island can accommodate more than 50,000 people. Everyone will have farmland and a bright future!"
"The newly discovered large offshore island can house at least 200,000 people!"
Speaking of this, Governor Chai smiled and said: "If we become the masters of the Central Plains in the future, like Korea, Liaodong and other places, can we resettle the people?"
"The current situation in the Central Plains is that there are more people than land, so we can only move the people to desolate and undeveloped places to survive. At least they don't have to fight against the local tyrants!"
The high-level civil and military officials were stunned. They did not expect Governor Chai to think so far. At present, the development of Yanyun Land itself has not been completely straightened out.
Of course, since Governor Chai made the request, they had no reason to object.
Isn't it just relocating people overseas? This is not the first time they have done it. With a large number of ships and experienced crews, such a thing is actually not difficult.
"Look, even Fang La knows about it and takes the opportunity to attract the people of the Song Dynasty to the big island where they live. We can't be inferior to Fang La!"
A casual sentence inspired the fighting spirit of his subordinates, both civil and military officials.
What Governor Chai Dadu said was true. Even Fang La knew that in order to strengthen themselves, they could not fall behind.
Is it possible that they occupied a large island outside the sea, moved the people there and then ignored it?
From now on, the people on the island will not be the people under their rule?
Rather than letting Fang La be fooled, it would be better to follow Governor Chai to have a future.
A group of high-level civil and military officials were motivated, and even a small-minded person proposed not to do Fang La's shipbuilding business, but Governor Chai stopped him.
In his opinion, no matter what Fang La's intentions were, in the end it was the Chinese people who took advantage, and that was enough.
In the future, when the talisman can be used to power ships and even aircraft, won't Fang La's territory be covered by the power of the Central Plains Dynasty?
Even in the 21st century, population is a very precious asset, let alone now.
Rather than letting the people of the Central Plains suffer in the flames of war and die in the changing of dynasties and the struggle of ambitious people for hegemony, it is better to take the initiative to go to sea to develop a living territory. At least at this time, the Yanyun Governor's Office has the ability to help them overcome all dissatisfaction.
At least, there is no need to worry about force...
