People in the Song Dynasty were lawless

Chapter 419 The saplings are growing vigorously
There will be countless humanoid countries in later generations.

For example, the bandits who colonized the world, Tokusan who started World War II, the squid who was almost anti-human, the Emperor who scalped Indians and later pursued hegemony, each of them is a cancer of an era.

But later generations of Chinese people felt disgust towards them at best, not to mention unforgettable hatred.

Because people are like this. If the knife does not cut themselves, they will not feel the pain of other suffering countries and nations.

So who has ever struck a Chinese person with a knife, and what is the source of the pain of the Chinese people?

It's a little devil!

They invaded our country, burned, killed, looted and carried out massacres everywhere, causing the deaths of more than 30 million soldiers and civilians.

They skinned people alive, gouged out their eyes, cut off their noses, and took out their internal organs. They boiled babies in boiling water, cut open pregnant women alive, and then put the babies on millstones and ground them into meat paste and forced the mothers to eat them.

They took pleasure in killing living people, and took glory in cruelty and bloodthirst. They buried people in the soil and let dogs bite them, while they clapped their hands and laughed.

They even held killing competitions, letting recruits assassinate live people to practice their courage, and experiment with viruses and bacteria.

If Toyotomi Hideyoshi had won the Korean War, there is no doubt that Korea would have been subjected to extremely brutal colonial treatment and might even have been exterminated.

If this is done, it will inevitably arouse opposition from all civil servants, and the resistance can be said to be considerable.

The point is to set an example. Even if Ma Mao hesitates, politics is like this. It needs to cover up shortcomings and magnify advantages.

But to be honest, this commendation is obviously unfair to Ma Mao. After taking back the minerals in the First World War, he was not promoted to the military position, but was promoted to the post of salary, which was a total of two promotions.

In the morning, Zhao Jun did not deal with official business first, but went to Beigong first.

However, by sorting out the information, Zhao Jun discovered that their ancestors had the same virtues as the Japanese of later generations.

Bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, cruel and bloodthirsty, he is always thinking about the northern continent.

'There's a long way to go. '

They have never joined the Chinese tribute system externally, but they have always maintained their aggressive ambitions internally.

Therefore, Zhao Jun can not be hostile to any country, but is extremely concerned about the affairs of the island country.

After all, this is a war abroad, involving all aspects, so it is still necessary to inform Zhao Zhen and ask the Privy Council to send the navy to suppress the navy with his order.

The third and most important point is that Ma Mao acted very well this time and made great achievements. He was promoted to the training envoy of the Runzhou Regiment and was commended to the entire army. He will hold a commendation meeting after returning to China.

There are several points in the warrant.

Therefore, all things considered, it was impossible for Zhao Jun to let the Japanese go.

It's not that Zhao Jun doesn't want to, it's that he can't.

This can tell all the soldiers of the Song Dynasty that if you perform tasks overseas, in order to safeguard national interests, you must not be soft-hearted. Fight when it is time to fight. The imperial court will always be their backing.

What Zhao Jun did was not to covet Japan's wealth, but simply to hold grudges. It was a hatred engraved in the bones of the Chinese people, lacking a reckoning of revenge.

After the meeting, Zhao Jun thought to himself.

Only military commanders are involved in the Song Dynasty's national policy of emphasizing culture and suppressing military force, and their status in all aspects has not been improved for the time being.

However, the current national power cannot completely destroy the Japanese islands for the time being. Even if it can be eliminated, it will consume a lot of its own national power.

At the beginning, Lao Fan and Zhao Jun were able to carry out the Qingli New Deal by pulling one faction against another and dividing the civil servant group.

If future generations cannot liquidate them for the time being, then it would be a bad thing to liquidate their ancestors first to avoid such a situation from happening again in the future.

Zhao Jun returned to the Constitutional Yuan and signed his warrant from the Constitutional Yuan, entrusting Song Cai.

All kinds of behavior are outrageous.

After Zhao Zhen learned of the situation, he didn't worry too much. He directly wrote an edict, stamped it with a seal, and sent it to the Privy Council.

Nowadays, the civil servants are doing well. They have abolished the salary-paying and dispatching officers, and unified the grades, which solves the problem of confusion.

Why is this important?

Some people may say that this is something done by the descendants of Japan. What does it have to do with their ancestors? Doesn’t this bring harm to the family?

Therefore, Zhao Jun had to resort to leadership tactics that lacked great virtue.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea, and the so-called "Three Kingdoms Unification" declaration has proved this.

But Zhao Jun can't do anything, because the navy currently has seven corps, and above the military commanders are the navy chief and deputy chief.

Therefore, I can only upgrade my post to raise my rank.

Therefore, the correct approach is to first threaten them with force, and then stir up trouble within them, leaving Japan in a state of long-term division and civil strife until the country's national strength increases again in the future.

The first is to ask Song Cai to support the Lu Dynasty's actions to provide weapons, equipment and funds to Japanese wealthy families and rebel forces.

And to be honest, the chaotic official system of the Song Dynasty also gave Zhao Jun a headache.

The next promotion is Deputy Chief of the Navy, which is a senior general. Hu Yanshouyong and Di Qingli didn't get promoted despite their great contributions, let alone Ma Mao.

The Imperial City Division investigated intelligence in Japan, collected inside information, and sorted it all out to him, and then Song Cai sent it back to China through commercial channels.

From the moment he took power, he sent the Imperial City Secretary to infiltrate in the name of trade.

Their so-called envoys to the Tang Dynasty only wanted to secretly learn the institutional culture and knowledge. They never thought of truly respecting the country of the Tang Dynasty, and even coveted the treasure land of the Central Plains civilization.

The second is to let Song Caimao and the others maintain their firm stance. If necessary, Ning Haijun and Zhen Haijun can go ashore directly, fire the first shot, kill Heianjing and threaten or even capture the emperor alive.

Song Cai, as a big businessman of the Song Kingdom in Japan, is actually the chief spy of the Imperial City Division in Japan.

For example, a large number of idle middle- and lower-level officials were used to give them actual positions, thereby gaining the support of a large number of middle- and lower-level officials, and many new policies were passed, such as reforming the official system, passing examinations, and apportioning small people into acres.

And if you want to improve the status of military commanders, then those officials who originally supported Zhao Jun may all have to switch camps, and even the prime ministers of the Constitutional Yuan will not agree.

Therefore, Zhao Jun has not touched upon the military general system for the time being. He plans to delineate military regions, reform the military rank system, completely separate military positions from official positions in the future, and transform civil and military positions into two systems. It will not be too late to improve the promotion process.

They can even be awarded major titles at that time, and their merits will be counted in the future.

Several warrants were sent out, and then the Constitutional Yuan condemned Japan in the name of the Song Dynasty. This completed two countermeasures, light and dark.

On the surface, they condemned Japan and threatened them with force, but secretly they stirred up internal conflicts in Japan and divided their strength.

With a two-pronged approach, there should be no problem if you manage your life for a small period of time.

On April 10th, after the policy towards Japan was determined yesterday and implemented, Zhao Jun no longer paid attention to this aspect, but devoted himself to another matter - the management of the Yellow River.

Early in the morning, Zhao Jun did not go to court, or even to the Constitutional Yuan. Instead, he dressed neatly and prepared to go out.

"Husband, it's a long journey, so you should go early and come back early."

Cao Miaoxin helped Zhao Jun sort out his clothes and sent them to the door to give instructions. Zhao Tan and a little girl were standing beside him.

Zhao Tan was born in August of the second year of Qingli. He is now almost seven years old and is currently in the first grade of Bianliang Primary School.

The little girl is Zhao Jun's daughter, named Zhao Qingyun. She is of the same generation as the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom, Zhao Qinghan, and the princess of the Deng Kingdom, Zhao Qing'an. She is four years old this year and was given the title of Lord of Changxing County.

"Dad, go early and come back early."

Zhao Qingyun's milky voice was pure and milky.

"it is good."

Zhao Jun smiled and touched his daughter's head, then looked at Zhao Tan and said: "Son, study hard at home, don't cause trouble, and listen to the teacher in school, you know?"

"Yes, father."

Zhao Tan quickly raised his hands and said, like a little adult.

Zhao Jun nodded.

To be honest, he owed it to his family. Because he deals with official duties all year round and spends very little time with his family, Cao Miaoxin has to worry about his children's education.

Fortunately, Cao Miaoxin was not the daughter of an ordinary family, but a member of the general Cao family. She had a strict upbringing and did not dote on her children. If Zhao Tan was naughty, he would be punished with a stick.

Although education with a stick is too rude, it is not unreasonable to say that "filial sons emerge from under the stick" sometimes.

Many people pamper their children too much in education, develop their children's lawless character, and even let them embark on the path of crime, which ultimately harms their children.

Under the stick education, children can realize that some things cannot be done from an early age, thereby giving them norms and establishing good moral character.

"Okay, I may be away for several months this time, so I will leave the family to you."

Zhao Jun smiled, then turned and left.

When he came out of the house, a large group of guards and carriages were waiting for him at the door.

Zhu Xun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry in charge of water conservancy, and Liu Yi, the water conservancy expert and water conservancy supervisor, stepped forward and cupped their hands and said, "Zhiyuan."

"Well, let's go."

Zhao Jun nodded.

The overall person in charge of the entire Yellow River water conservancy project was Jia Changchao, who was also a member of the Constitutional Yuan and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

But of course Jia Changchao, as prime minister, could not be in the Yellow River every day. He only made plans to block and dredge the Yellow River, and joined the strategy of condensing water and flushing sand proposed by Zhao Jun.

The actual person in charge below is the Minister of Industry and the expert designer responsible for water conservancy.

This time Zhao Jun will inspect the entire upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Because of the occurrence of Sanyi's return to the river in history, Zhao Zhen and the Constitutional Yuan attached great importance to it. Starting from the year of Jingyou, various governance policies were formulated for the management of the Yellow River.

This includes planting trees in the upper reaches of Guanzhong, digging canals to divert water in midstream areas such as Luoyang, blocking river mouths, washing away sediment, dredging old roads, opening canals, etc. in the lower reaches.

In recent years, more than 10 million yuan has been spent on the Yellow River, and nearly one million manpower has been mobilized.

Now, twelve years later, it is finally time for the Yellow River to change its course for the first time in history. Naturally, we want to see the effectiveness of current Yellow River management.

Therefore, Zhao Jun went on a patrol as a representative to inspect along the Yellow River to see what the Yellow River looks like now.

Zhao Jun got on the carriage. The carriage used rubber tires and steel spring shock absorbers, making it unique on the street.

The development of Bianliang is a bit strange now.

Five- and six-story high-rise buildings have appeared, but because the hydropower station has not yet been built, there are no electric lights.

The steam engine was already around, but there were no cars or bicycles because of a lack of rubber.

Electricity has appeared, but because some technologies have not yet been conquered, there are no remote sending devices such as telegraphs.

The overall situation is a bit like the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, which was in the primary stage of transforming a feudal society into an industrial society.

Rubber was shipped back from overseas in the sixth year of Qingli. Rubber trees have been planted in Hainan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places and have been growing for two years.

Based on the growth cycle of a rubber tree of about eight years, it is estimated that the first batch of rubber will mature in six years, that is, in 1054 AD.

Basically, after 1054, rubber will be rapidly used in various fields of industry, and the bicycle era will begin ten years later.

The electric power era is basically in its initial maturity stage.

Steam engines can be used to generate electricity, but steam engines are relatively rare at present, so they are of no use. Instead, water power is considered.

In addition to people's livelihood, the Constitutional Yuan's tasks this year are mainly about power development.

It is expected that by the end of next year, the Academy of Sciences will be able to complete technical difficulties such as power transmission and regulation, allowing the hydroelectric power station to officially start generating electricity.

It is conceivable that in the next ten years or so, the Song Dynasty will be able to transition from the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution. By then, the development of the Song Dynasty will lead the world by an unknown number of years.

After Zhao Jun got on the carriage, his guards slowly took him away.

At this time, the scene outside Xihua Gate is already in full swing. Xiangding Tower has been demolished, and half of Qingtai Street is undergoing demolition work. Zhao Jun's house is near the end and will be demolished in about a month.

Due to the urban reconstruction plan proposed by Zhao Jun, the original low wooden city was changed into a reinforced concrete five- and six-story tube building structure, and the area of ​​​​the imperial city was expanded at the same time. The first batch of demolished households in the Song Dynasty that became rich due to demolition was about to be born. .

For example, Zhao Jun's home was bought for him by Zhao Zhen at a cost of more than 10,000 yuan. It was just a house covering an area of ​​about two to three thousand square meters. Now, according to the land price in Bianliang, it has soared by about four times.

What's more, unlike other relocated households, he was also allocated a house.

It is the welfare of senior officials. It is still outside the palace, located at the intersection of Xihuamen Street and Qishengyuan Street. It covers an area of ​​several acres and has a palace-like structure. It was built under the order of Zhao Zhen.

It can be said that even if Qingtai Street where Zhao Jun lives now is demolished, he will still live outside Xihuamen in the future.

Because the current area plan of the Imperial City is to annex all the cities and towns outside the Imperial Palace, and extend it about 400 meters to the west until Qishengyuan Street. It extends 500 meters eastward until Ma Xing Street.

It extends 1050 meters to the south to Hengjie and 1090 meters to the north to Longde Palace. In this way, the palace was originally meters wide and meters long from north to south.

The entire palace covers an area of ​​4.8 square kilometers, four times the original area.

But of course Zhao Zhen could not live in such a large area. The Forbidden City was only 0.72 square kilometers, so according to the plan, these 4.8 square kilometers would become the area of ​​the imperial city.

Just like the imperial city of the Qing Dynasty, which covered an area of ​​6.87 square kilometers, a large number of parks, artificial lakes, gardens and other entertainment facilities will be built inside, as well as dozens of departmental headquarters of the central court.

So in general, the former imperial palace only became Zhao Zhen's living area, which would be a little larger than the Forbidden City. The imperial city was shared by the emperor and the entire court.

But even so, it is much better than the 1.14 square kilometers that the emperor and various departments of the court shared before.

After passing through this demolished street, you enter Qishengyuan Street. The streets are crisscrossed with people coming and going, and the previous wooden structure is still preserved.

However, the way people dress and travel has changed dramatically.

In early summer, people wear cool shorts and long trousers. Sedan chairs have become a common way to travel, and high-rise buildings such as the Unification Monument can be seen in the distance.

Go out from Jinglongmen to the outer city.

The outer city is even more lively.

Amidst the busy traffic, various shouting sounds kept coming, and there were many signboards, swaying gently in the wind.

Coal stoves are most commonly displayed in the streets and alleys. They are used to boil water at tea shops, to steam buns in bun shops, and to cook at home.

Steel kitchen utensils such as knives, spoons, and pots have also appeared in every household and have become essential utensils.

The carriage slowly arrived outside the city from Suanzao Gate.

In the past, after crossing the moat, there was a suburb. Outside the city was a fertile field with green grass everywhere.

But what we see now are high-rise buildings. Reinforced concrete buildings with the highest seven floors are rising from the ground. The streets are lined up in an orderly manner. The business atmosphere is not much worse than that in the outer city.

The urban area of ​​Bianliang is now expanding to the suburbs every day. The willow banks that were once the scene of the dawn wind and the waning moon have now turned into concrete embankments and reinforced iron frames, full of the power of a modern steel forest.

After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, the team finally arrived at the Bianhua Canal.

This canal was originally planned by Zhao Jun and built by Jia Changchao. It ran directly from Bianliang to Huazhou and connected the Yellow River.

There are countless ships at the riverside docks, and merchants traveling to and from Hebei finally no longer have to take a long detour or go by land to Beijing. After the opening of the Bianhua Canal, its throughput far exceeds that of the upstream Bian River and Huimin River. It is currently the second largest canal after the downstream Bian River.

At this moment, there was already a big ship waiting by the canal. After Zhao Jun arrived, he got off the carriage and looked around. Due to his travel, the surrounding areas were controlled and people could only go around other streets.

But when he saw the tall buildings rising on both sides of the canal outside the city and the streets in the distance, Zhao Jun was still very emotional.

In just twelve years, Bianliang has undergone such great changes.

The sapling and small tree of Da Song is already growing vigorously and will soon become the most luxuriant and the greatest in the world's forests!
"Let's go!"

Zhao Jun boarded the Universiade and ordered: "Let's set off and see the changes in the world."
