Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 724 Ouyang Che's Great Use
Fortunately, most of the elders' materials were transferred to the transfer ship before the war, so that the ships of the navy still maintained a strong combat effectiveness, so that they would not sigh while looking at the shore on the ship.

Srivijaya's army was still tentatively attacking the long wall, and the naval ships not far from the harbor kept firing artillery stones at the enemy troops outside the east and west long walls.

Fearing the artillery stones from the navy and naval ships of the Song Dynasty guards, the soldiers of Sanfoqi did not dare to get too close to the killing range of the long-range trebuchet.

After suffering a lot of big losses, they have also become shrewd. They no longer attack with the advantage of numbers, they can only leap forward in small groups, and the defenders on the long wall use bows and crossbows to shoot accurately and calmly , the effect is excellent.

The pressure on the defenses on the city wall increased, causing the enemy to keep approaching the city wall, and the casualties began to increase.

While thinking wildly and drowsily, there were bursts of shouts from the north,
Gao Kan seemed to have been kicked by someone, he stood up coldly, and shouted loudly: "Come on, what's going on?"

The officials who were dozing aside quickly got up and walked to their battle positions one after another.

"Send the order, all get up, all get up, guard against the barbarian attack."

Gao Kan turned around and quickly climbed up the dilapidated Wangxiang Tower. He saw that the army of Srivijaya was mobilizing in the distance, and there was no sign of a large-scale attack.

"My lord, my lord." A utilitarian ran up panting, followed by another who was anxious.

"What are you panicking about? Speak slowly." Gao Kan glared at the effect, and his eyes fell on Ji Jiaozi.

The anxious foot seemed particularly calm, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, there are hundreds of archery towers and dozens of light catapults in the formation of the Three Buddha Qi barbarians, and they are slowly being deployed. According to the strength of our feet, we can reach Nancheng tomorrow."

Gao Kan's face became ugly, and his lips trembled.

This is not good news, and it can even be said to be very bad. The reason why the Song army was able to stand firm was that it relied on excellent armored battles and a solid city defense line.

With Sanfoqi's level of equipment, it is absolutely impossible to have sophisticated siege equipment, but it does not rule out stealing teachers in the past few years. The reason why any secret becomes a secret is that it is often leaked. The Bowang Army has leaked secrets. The patrol officials captured several spies and found the blueprint of the light trebuchet.

There are very few fine equipment such as trebuchets in the South China Sea countries. Even if there are, the range and power cannot be compared with that of the Song army. Dozens of them came at once. It is obvious that the enemy may have mastered the production technology and can judge more accurately. Yes, the Srivijaya royal family went into battle shirtless.

The sudden war in the South China Sea has not yet been reported to the court, the fleet in the vast sea is still unknown, and the news of Zhancheng and Cochin merchants is not so fast. For the Great Song Xingchao, the most important thing at the moment Still internal affairs.

Chengdu Fulu was going to implement the Ding Mu Law and Ding Yin Law, and Wang Xiu's attention was also attracted, which was too important to him.

However, Ouyang Che sat in front of Wang Xiu, looked at Wang Xiu with a flat face, and said calmly: "Master, the trial implementation of the two bank laws in the Chengdu government has gone smoothly, and the resistance is expected to be very small. It seems that the method of increasing or decreasing the regulations is right. Yes, the implementation of the whole road is imperative, and there can be no further delay."

Wang Xiu was very satisfied with the smooth implementation of the two-bank law, but he was still not satisfied. In order to reduce resistance in the implementation, he made a lot of concessions, but the key factors were retained. After the new law is fully implemented, it will be gradually improved. It can be said that is the abridged version.

First implemented in Chengdu Prefecture, the effect is satisfactory, at least it did not cause much trouble, people can accept it calmly, mainly because Chengdu has a lot of people and less land, and the business is developed. acceptable.

However, Ouyang Che's sincere attitude as an officer gave him another burst of relief. Since Ouyang Che fell to him, he has supported the implementation of the New Deal with unprecedented enthusiasm, and he has completely lost the academic spirit of the past.

That's right!The prosperity of a family and country lies in hard work, so what is the use of your twittering, talking all day, tossing and tossing, in the end you still mislead yourself and others.

"Okay! Deming can speak up if you have something to say." He could hear what Ouyang Che had said.

Ouyang Che hesitated a little, and then said: "Master, if Ding Yinfa breaks the population tax, the population of Shengmin will inevitably skyrocket. Chengdu Mansion Road itself has a lot of people and less land. I don't know how to deal with it?"

"Don't worry about this. The imperial court is developing the South China Sea. We can gradually move the population to the south, and finally achieve the goal of colonizing the South China Sea." Wang Xiu is not worried about population expansion. Colonization must first suffer high mortality rates, and the possibility of outbreaks of epidemics between the two places is extremely high. Big, without a relatively sufficient population, how can it survive?
Ouyang Che nodded. He is also in favor of developing overseas. There have been outbreaks of disease in some areas along the coast, and it is still within the controllable range.

As for Wang Xiu's theory of colonization, he also agrees. At least he believes that there is no achievement without paying a price. Isn't the migration from the north to the south also a pile of bones?With a firm foothold in the South China Sea, a large area of ​​land became owned by the Han family, which is very beneficial to future generations. As for the contribution of the people, he can accept it, thinking that it is an inevitable contribution.

For gentlemen, to achieve the goal of helping the world, the sacrifice of the living people is inevitable, and they don't care too much about it.

"Deming, have you ever considered going to Chengdu Mansion?" Wang Xiu looked at Ouyang Che with a very serious expression.

Ouyang Che was startled, completely stunned by Wang Xiu's words, and realized that his chance had come.

Since the imperial court moved to the south, the Xing Dynasty abolished the prefectures on a large scale. Xingren, Kaide, Yingchang and other prefectures were all reduced to prefectures. The world only retained Jiangning, Henan, Kaifeng, Chengdu, Jingzhao, and Yingtian six prefectures. He is a fourth-rank Beijing official, and his status is obviously higher than that of the Zhizhou. Usually, he is a bachelor or a bachelor of Jiazhi.

Wang Xiu's meaning is clear and unmistakable, it's not a general sentence or a push for an official, but a real magistrate's matter, even if he doesn't have a post or Lu Jieshuai, it is equivalent to a promotion, he is very open to fear that his mere official will cause criticism to get.

Wang Xiu seemed to see Ouyang Che's joy and worry, and couldn't help laughing: "Master Deming, I don't worry if it's someone else, you should go and preside over Chengdu Fulu."

Ouyang Che was startled again, presiding over Chengdu Fulu?It was better than he had imagined, knowing that the Chengdu government was only going to hold on to the achievements of the two-bank law and take charge of government affairs, that is to let him take charge of the implementation of the two-bank law, one day at a time.

It seems that Wang Xiuzhen is going to use him a lot, and the years of dormancy finally paid off, and he will become a minister when he is released.It is conceivable that the reform of the New Deal has come to a critical period, and many of Wang Xiu's cronies have almost spread out, all of them have a purpose to sit in one side, only the servant of the household department sits silently on the Diaoyutai, and finally it is his turn.

"Master, it is true that the New Deal is at the helm, but Hebei also has to take care of one or two." He thought for a long time, and still expressed his worries.

Wang Xiu nodded, and said slowly, "I understand, Deming can rest assured."
