Chapter 664 Preheating

Wang Gui said: "Although the means are a bit cruel, the court's cost this time the military use was limited and there were few casualties, so it was almost rare to use officers and soldiers."

This officer and soldier is not the officer and soldier under Wang Ju's tent, but it is called the local soldiers or the border soldiers in Guangnan. It is an army composed of barbarians. Wang Gui's officer and soldier refers to the real forbidden soldiers.

If we analyze from this perspective, we did not use many officers and soldiers, but we just started to transfer thousands of soldiers. Later, some people were still not used to the hot weather in the south, and many people were transferred back one after another.

As for the cost, from the perspective of the court, it is indeed very rare. How much money can Guangnan provide to Wang Ju? The special allocation of the court is only 10 million, but Wang Ju has been in Guangnan for two and a half years, and the income of the Kapok Branch is more than 10 million. Moreover, the seamen will also pay the court three million interest.

But the actual cost is more than 10 million!

If the court did this like Wang Ju, the cost would be an astonishing number, not only the direct cost, but also the cost. So many ships were used, and most of them were luxurious large sea ships. Isn't it a cost? Therefore, the actual cost is an astronomical number.

However, the reason why Lao Wang said this was because Wang Ju made it very clear before going to Guangnan. He wanted the horse to run away and did not eat grass. Then he would have to use some extraordinary means. I hope the court will not blame him then.

It has been promised long ago.

Could it be that the court would repent again at this time?

Zhao Xu also laughed silently. It was not just that he had agreed to do so. Last year, he sent an envoy to the middle school. Wang Ju also said that I am a person wandering between dawn, with darkness on one side, light on the other side, executioners on the other side, and good ministers on the other side. The Song Dynasty has many ills. If I want to take the Song Dynasty from darkness to the other side of light, I will use some intense means.

Can you expect a person who was in his teens to kill the black bee thief and lead the village people to defeat the Xixia army. Can you be as gentle as these literati and officials in the court?

it's out of the question.

He murmured, "How can we migrate the people?"

You can't force the people to take to various sea boats.

Cai Que suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you can be assigned by the prefectures. Our dynasty is not in the early Tang Dynasty, and Shandong is empty. Even Wei Zheng advised Emperor Taizong of Tang not to be fame, so as not to covet the Hu people after seeing it. Fortunately, he was kind to his ancestors, and since the founding of the country, there was no sparse population."

So some people say that Zhao Kuangyin is an elder, and he may not be that good. If it is really good, can he usurp the Chai family? Let’s look at Chai Rong’s children, who will have a good ending?

Besides, there is the Jiangzhou Massacre.

However, Zhao Kuangyin destroyed a country and immediately rested for two to three years, and then tried to take up another country. This practice did not cause any damage to China. Not only the Song Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Wu Yue, the Southern Han Dynasty, and the Min Kingdom, these countries did not lose much people. So when Zhao Kuangyi destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, the number of households in the Northern Song Dynasty reached more than 6.4 million. On the contrary, after Zhao Kuangyi failed two northern expeditions, the number of households dropped to about 5 million in the third year of Zhidao. Of course, it was not that the number of people had decreased, and in order to evade taxes, they became refugees and hidden households. However, by the time of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, it was immediately restored to nearly 9 million households.

Looking at the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were only two million households in such a large territory.

Therefore, from this perspective, it is also impossible for Song Taizu to be called an elder.

This is the real deep historical analysis.

Zhao Xu's forehead.

"So it has caused the current densely populated and land tightening. However, although Jiaozhi is south, it is a real hometown of fish and rice." Cai Que glanced at the rivers of all sizes on the map and said.

Only with water can one survive. The poor north has always been short of water, so there are so many dense rivers.

"It used to be remote. Now there are so many sea boats that can be used to travel. Please pay attention to it... Let officials of all states and prefectures cooperate."

This is the change brought about by Wang Ju.

Last year, the scale of overseas shipbuilding gradually decreased, but it did not stop completely and continued to be built, but the ship was larger and more advanced.

So some backward ships were eliminated and sold at almost cost on Guangnan East Road. This cost was sold in the Song Dynasty, which would be very shocking. A 500-ton sea ship may have a cost of more than 10,000 guan in the Song Dynasty, but in Wang Ju's hands, it was often sold at only 4,000 guan.

Many people even don’t believe it, thinking that the quality of the ship is problematic, and it is guaranteed by Wang Ju, otherwise the price would be so low that no one dared to buy it.

Wang Ju guaranteed that some people finally bought it, and there were still many people who knew about the boat. One of them sailed and the boat was good, and it was immediately clear that the people who bought it are starting to be happy, but the people who dared not buy it regretted it.

However, many people have also begun to build ships in the docks. In the future, once the migration of the people is over, Wang Ju will also let his subordinates eliminate many ships, but they will be moored in Dongliang Port for sale to various maritime merchants. In other words, under Wang Ju's push, the scale of the Song Dynasty's navigation may gradually catch up with the peak of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Cai Que was in the capital, although he was not completely clear, but heard some news.

With sea ship transportation, we can make profits for the Song Dynasty. Wang Ju said it is reasonable. The north has always been short of food and is maintained by the southeast. However, the southeast is becoming more and more densely populated. The people in the southeast cannot not eat, but transport the grain to the north together. Then the large-scale development of Guangnan and Jiaozhi can further relieve the grain burden.

And the people evacuated were extremely poor people, who usually did not collect much finance and taxation. When the disaster came, the court needed to allocate a large amount of money, grain and food to provide relief.

This mentality is very bad...

Including Wang Anshi's mentality, it was not very good, just like the Liao Kingdom. This year, due to the disaster in Youzhou, all refugees were exempted from taxes for three years to relieve the pressure of the people. However, in order to make money, the Song Dynasty's policies turned backwards.

However, it is precisely because of this mentality that Cai Que supports Wang Ju's approach.

Cai Que supported, Zeng Xiaokuan also spoke: "Your Majesty, I have been in my sorrow. On the way to Beijing, I still saw many extremely poor people and their lives are difficult. However, there are no families drowning their children in the surrounding counties of Quanzhou. However, it is far away from Quanzhou, because the news is blocked, this situation is still there. Not only the extremely poor people, but some third- and fourth-class households also drown their children. There is nothing else and they cannot feed many children. Therefore, migrating some people to Jiaozhi is also a good way to evacuate the densely populated people, and Jiaozhi is not overseas."

Mainly overseas!

If you migrate to Lingnan and Jiaozhi, are you going to worry?

Lu Gongzhuo could not say anything anymore. He had to say: "In this way, the southeast is in chaos again."

Not to mention anything else, so many poor people have moved away, where can those main households find tenants? How can they not be angry? Besides, how many people are willing to go to the south? Then they can only migrate by force, so how can the people not be upset?

"This is not a commotion, but a rescue!" Cai Que said.

Reforms are a commotion, and migrating the people and giving them a way out is also a commotion. So what should I do?

Mr. Lu said unhappily: "In this way, Jiaozhi has been destroyed, so you can summon Wang Ju to the capital."

We can't keep Wang Ju Nan harming the people of Jiaozhi...

"Not now, those Kunlun slaves have not been placed yet..." Zhao Xu said, and there was something bigger about Wang Ju... I can't say this.

"But how do you place these Kunlun slaves?" Wu Chong said worriedly. If the resettlement is not good, it will be as turbulent as Jiaozhi, which is called tragic.

"Wu Qing, please write an edict and ask." Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "That's it."

Several priests retreated.

Zhao Xu looked at the thick map album in a daze.

The edict was also delivered to Wang Ju with special feet. After all, the autumn wind had already risen and could not be delayed.

"Shaobao, the court is really a contradiction. If Shaobao has a different intention, it would not be to migrate the people to Jiaozhi, but to overseas." Huang Hua said.

This migration is mainly dominated by the poor people. If they can survive, who would like to go to Jiaozhi?

But after these people migrated, the number of people in the southeast decreased, so few people migrated overseas. Or as Zeng Xiaokuan said. Many areas on Fujian Road do not drown their biological children, after all, they are their biological children. The reason why they drowned them was that they had no land or industry left for them when they grew up. Even if they grew up, they were still dead. Now that there is a way out overseas, why not work harder and feed these children to adulthood, at worst they could send them overseas. But that would have to wait for a long time. What shortens the most is not the future, but the present. Just like this year, almost rarely people migrate overseas.

Wang Ju has a strange intention, wouldn’t it be stupid to do this?

"Chengzhi, you have to stand on the side of Your Majesty and think about it." Wang Ju smiled. If we analyze it purely from the perspective of the officialdom, Wang Ju was still very stupid this time. He exposed all his power, including huge financial, material and human resources.

But Wang Ju doesn't regret it either.

The Song Dynasty was the foundation, and the south was stable, especially Jiaozhi, which could make the Song Dynasty stronger. The Song Dynasty was strong, and overseas could be strong. Only when the two could complement each other. Besides, what Wang Juzhong had done was this country and nation, not Zhao Xu himself. Anyway, he did it, just fight wits and tricks.

Wang Ju then wrote a reply.

It is said that the focus of the court is the north, and Guo Kui went south and his sacrifices were already heavy, but Jiaozhi was immortal and the south was unstable, which was ultimately a hidden danger. However, it was not worth it to make great sacrifices in the south to annihilate Jiaozhi. Therefore, some extraordinary means were used to make the scholars and officials dislike it and they knew it was not good, but this was a way that they could not do so.

In a sense, it is indeed too cruel, and Wang Ju also honestly "admitted his mistakes".
