Qiming 1158

Chapter 633 Song Ting must pay the price
Not to mention, Lin Jingchun's remarks aroused discussion among some officials present at the meeting.

And as time goes by, more and more people think that Lin Jingchun is right.

The Yellow River originally flowed smoothly, and there were no major problems. As a result, Song Ting insisted on diverting the Yellow River, and the diversion was very unsuccessful, so that the diversion of the Yellow River was out of control, flooded, and the dead were helpless.

After that, Du Chong will not talk about that matter. This person will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever, and will be cast aside forever. His kneeling statue will always exist, and his infamy will last forever.

But is there no one who will go to Song Ting to get the price back?

Doesn't Song Ting need to pay for this?

The reason why Sanyi returned to the river was because Song Ting was incompetent and could not retake the sixteen states of Yanyun, so he could only toss the Yellow River.

The reason why Du Chong dug the Yellow River embankment was because Song Ting's foolish operation ruined the country's fortune and ruined the good situation.

Saying one thousand words and ten thousand, it is the emperor of the Song Dynasty and his decision-making team who have found the highest responsibility.

They have a responsibility and they have to pay for it.

Not to mention, this issue is really something worth discussing for the Ming government.

As a saying goes ?

After Su Yonglin's long-term propaganda, the Central Plains, especially Henan, Shandong and Hebei, are really disdainful and dissatisfied with the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty in the south.

Especially now that the Central Plains have been restored, and a brand-new Han regime, the Ming regime, has been established, for the people of the Central Plains, they don’t need to have any expectations or fantasies about the Han regime in the south.

Of course, there are accounts and grievances.

The betrayal, abandonment, and all kinds of tossing back then, new hatred and old hatred welled up in my heart, what else can I say?

So Lin Jingchun said this, and the middle and lower-level bureaucrats from the Shangshu Province to the ministries and departments all agreed with Lin Jingchun's opinion.

Su Yonglin really didn't think so, because in his opinion, he had already begun to make Song Ting pay the price.

Not to mention Su Changsheng and Zhao Yucheng, who were sent to the south to develop the revolutionary bases, he could plunder a lot of copper from the Southern Song Dynasty just by talking about the relatively large-scale private salt trade he started privately on the border of the Ming and Song Dynasties.

Just a few border states in Henan can make a profit of 150 million yuan a month, and Haizhou can make a profit of [-] million yuan a month.

This is not all, there are still several teams and channels for smuggling salt being built, and it is not necessary to open the channels soon and start making profits.

At that time, Su Yonglin estimated that he could earn about 6000 million yuan in profits through the private salt trade with the Southern Song Dynasty throughout the year.

This huge sum of money is being continuously injected into the financial funds of the Ming Empire to provide financial support for the Ming Empire's many major moves to restore the original machine.

But Su Yonglin suddenly felt that what Lin Jingchun said was not without reason.

The crimes were done by the Zhao family emperor, by the scholars and officials who ruled the world with them.

They could not recover Yanyun or deal with the Liao Kingdom. They were afraid that the Liao Kingdom would follow the Yellow River from the Haihe River to the sea and break through Hebei directly to attack Kaifeng.

The results of it?
The failure of the project resulted in the great diversion of the Yellow River, which turned into a country of thousands of miles. Hundreds of thousands of people died directly or indirectly in this great diversion of the Yellow River. The evil done by the emperor of the Zhao family and the scholars and officials was enough to send them into the eighteenth hell. Eternity can not be superseded.

Now the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are suffering because of the operation of these bastards.

The Yellow River is not flooded, and the weather is good. Once the flood occurs, the river banks will burst, and Henan, North China, and the Huaihe River will all be in danger of becoming swamp states, and the fruits of farmers’ hard work all year round will be destroyed.

This is a sword hanging over the head of the Ming Dynasty, and it will fall down at some point.

It was impossible for Su Yonglin to watch the sword fall, so in any case, it was imperative to rectify the Yellow River.

But controlling the Yellow River is a big project.

Taking the most famous successful case of Wang Jingzhi River as a comparison, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, civilians and 100 billion dollars of investment, it took one year to open up thousands of miles of river channels and build embankments along the banks, so that the Yellow River would not be diverted for 800 years.

With 10 manpower and one year's time, Su Yonglin can afford it, but with an investment of tens of billions of dollars, it is really a bit embarrassing.

When Wang Jing managed the river, it was the period of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had experienced the governance and accumulation of Liu Xiu, the Emperor Guangwu. The period of Emperor Ming was the period of rising national fortunes in the Eastern Han Dynasty when the country was powerful, the officials were clear and the treasury was abundant. factor.

In terms of mobilization force and the duration of the policy, Su Yonglin dares to say that he can surpass the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it is really difficult to invest a large amount of money.

Su Yonglin read history books, and the history books especially wrote that Wang Jing pays attention to thrifty expenses, spends less money if he can, and still invested tens of billions of money to successfully complete the task of diverting the Yellow River, which shows how much money is spent on managing the Yellow River.

The Ming Empire did not have the accumulation of Liu Xiu’s more than 30 years of governing the country. Su Yonglin was still developing many other engineering tasks at the same time, spending too much money, and the situation of the Yellow River at this time was probably even worse than that faced by Wang Jing back then.

It is conservatively estimated that the investment in river management will be doubled.

If this investment is only invested by the Ming Empire itself, even if the construction period is lengthened and the results of one or two years are not pursued, the Ming Empire's finances will still face a very difficult situation.

Su Yonglin himself knew that he had too much to do.

Not counting the army's fixed military expenditures, even the establishment of grassroots political powers such as administrative villages and townships can cost a lot of money, not to mention the literacy campaign that Su Yonglin is carrying out.

In addition to the human and material resources required for the education reform plan and the imperial examination reform plan, as well as the continuous investment in the development of Liaodong, the training and investment of judicial officials, and the funds needed for the development of the Renaissance Society...

The finances of the entire Ming Empire were like an unscrewed faucet, rushing out.

Although it shows that after the empire clearly controls the grassroots, even if the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are abolished, the tax revenue will be quite large. When Lin Jingchun makes financial expenditures, he will pay attention to extending the implementation time of the policy to reduce the financial burden. Things, and even a little financial balance.

However, the Central Plains that Su Yonglin took over was a Central Plains that had been destroyed by the Jin and Song dynasties. The task he accepted was a task of hell-level difficulty.

Even so, Su Yonglin never thought of backing down and exhausting his energy. He also wanted to restore the Central Plains, but the investment in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China was too great, and Su Yonglin did not exploit as much as the Song Dynasty did, so naturally he couldn't look so "rich" ".

Therefore, after Lin Jingchun settled the accounts, he felt that although the Ming Empire had the obligation to manage the Yellow River to protect people's livelihood, Song Ting, as the initiator, didn't need to take responsibility?

After thinking about this, Su Yonglin began to feel that what Lin Jingchun said made some sense——

Although it is said that managing the Yellow River is of the greatest benefit to him, wouldn't it be great if he could squeeze some money from the rich Song Ting?

To live, is to save a little bit. The more you save, the more budget you can get in other places, right?

There may be many differences in the treatment of internal issues, but such differences do not exist in the treatment of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Su Yonglin's very strong military command ability and the strong fighting power of the Ming army gave the officials of the Ming Empire great confidence. They didn't think that the Ming Empire would suffer in this kind of thing.

And should I say or not, the confidence Su Yonglin brought to them made them have a stronger attitude towards other surrounding regimes. Although they are not aggressive at the moment, this strength can also be reflected in many aspects.

For example, ask Song for money.

Su Yonglin opened his head.

"It's true to say that, but is it feasible to ask Song for money in an open and honest way?"
