Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 456: Economy (3)

In fact, it is not just Jiexiu, Penglai, and Dengzhou. The entire country, from north to south, from west to east, including the entire Yanyun, Central Plains, Xixia, Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan, and Jiangnan, is busy everywhere. Farming scene!

Tens of millions of people in the country are busy with farming!

This has changed drastically from a year ago!

A year ago, in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhao Gou's violent conquest had just ended, while Yanyun and Central Plains were full of wars! In just one year, the world was restored to peace, and the people began to spend their minds on production!

This has also changed greatly from the Northern Song Dynasty!

Especially at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when Zhao Ji set up the Huashi Gang, the world was in chaos, peasant uprisings were everywhere, Songjiang, Fangla and the like rose up, and the people didn't live forever! But now, there are almost no signs of peasant uprising in the whole country! In Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan, the rent reduction order is implemented here, and the landlord’s rent cannot exceed 30%, which is far lower than before. People can live with peace of mind! In Jiangnan, many exorbitant taxes have been cancelled! In Guanshan, Northwest, and Xixia, millions of young people formed the production and construction corps to build these places! In Yanyun and all parts of the Central Plains, the landlord class has almost completely disappeared. The people have got their own land, and they are all working for their future.

An unprecedented Qingming government appeared on the land of China, with an unprecedented low tax rate.

Tens of millions of people work at sunrise and return at sunset, day after day, their hearts are full of joy and excitement!

They all look forward to receiving it!

In the Henan and Lianghuai areas of the Central Plains, development here is still slow!

The main reason is the sparse population here!

Especially in Henan, the flooding of the Yellow River is very serious. It has been flooding almost every year over the years. Neither the Jurchens nor the Jiangnan government at that time would manage it! Even now, the court does not have extra manpower and financial resources to manage the flooding of the Yellow River!

However, there is a lot of land in Henan, and the people in Henan most often escape from the flooded areas and go to other places to cultivate.

Kaifeng Mansion is also extremely dilapidated at this moment, many houses inside are crumbling, and it is impossible to live in it at all!

At this moment, ten miles south of Kaifeng Mansion, there is a small town, and now the yamen of Henan Xuanfu Envoy is here!

Qin Hui's family and Henan provincial officials are here!

From here to the south is a huge military camp, where there are rows of neatly simple houses, where there are 20,000 soldiers from the Southern Military District!

The 20,000 soldiers also trained in the morning and farmed in the afternoon! The population of Henan is too small, and now soldiers have to invest in construction.

From the barracks to the south, there are dozens of villages and towns. Those villages and towns are also newly constructed. The villagers are all composed of the original volunteers! Those dozens of villages and towns add up to a population of more than 200,000!

It can be said that this area south of Kaifeng is now the most populous area in Henan! In other places, it is often difficult to see villages and people for dozens of miles, only bones and weeds!

When the sky just turned up, Qin Hui had already woke up.

He put on his official clothes and went outside.

At this moment, the shout of "one two one" came from a distance, and Qin Hui moved away from the town.

Coming out of the town, Qin Hui saw that the army had been running and was about to pass by here.

"I am Qin Hui, the envoy of Henan Xuanfu, who is the general opposite?" Qin Hui said loudly.

"It turned out to be Master Qin, who is in the next Liu Ze!" A middle-aged man appeared on the opposite side and laughed.

"General Liu, you turned out to personally lead the soldiers out for training! Great, I am looking for you to discuss things!" Qin Hui smiled.

He knew that Liu Ze was originally the leader of the Hebei Rebellious Army. Later, he captured Yan Zongwang alive during the Central Plains War. At that time, Zhao Chen asked Liu Ze what reward he wanted. Liu Ze only said that he wanted to join the regular army, so Zhao Chen asked him to follow Zhao Zhe. Enter the Jingyuan Army! Later, the Jingyuan Army went south and established the Southern Military Region. Liu Ze was also a member of the Southern Military Region. Now Liu Ze is the commander of the 20,000 garrison in Henan!

"I don't know what's the matter?" Liu Ze ran over and asked.

"Come and come, let's go to the town to talk! This is a big deal, and we need to discuss it carefully." Qin Hui said.

Liu Ze was a little surprised. At the moment he let other generals continue to take the soldiers for a long run, and he followed Qin Hui into the town.

The town is also very simple, Xuanfu Shiyamen is just a simple yard, Qin Hui asked people to prepare breakfast, and the two talked while eating.

"General Liu, your 20,000 soldiers, now many people are getting married, right?" Qin Hui said.

"Ah!" Liu Ze was taken aback. He didn't expect Qin Hui to say such a thing. He nodded.

"The world has been in chaos for six years. Many men in Henan have been in the army and have suffered heavy casualties! Now the number of women in Henan far exceeds that of men! These women have reached the age of marriage! I think we can organize and let these women marry into the army. !" Qin Hui said.

"This..." Liu Ze stayed there, he had never thought about this problem.

The ancient military system was a lifelong system. Once you join the army, if there is no special situation, you must stay in the barracks for the rest of your life! In ancient times, it was normal for a soldier to marry a wife!

Although Zhao Chen once said that soldiers should be allowed to retire when necessary, there has been no specific policy issued until now. For the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, they still believe that joining the army is a lifetime thing.

"Master Liu, you can't leave the soldiers alone for a lifetime, right?" Qin Hui said.

Liu Ze thought for a long time and said, "Master Qin has a good idea! It's just that this matter needs to be discussed with the rest of the generals in the army!"

"I believe other generals will not refuse!" Qin Hui laughed.

"When the other generals agree, I will come to see Master Qin again." Liu Ze said.

"I think we should discuss how to implement this matter now!" Qin Hui said.

"Okay!" Liu Ze thought for a while and nodded.

Both of them were discussing this matter in the morning. In the afternoon, Liu Ze left in a hurry, he wanted to discuss with the other generals in the army.

Qin Hui looked at Liu Ze's back with a smile on his face.

Now the population of Henan is too small and it is urgent to increase the population! If the 20,000 soldiers married a local woman, they would naturally make their homes here. As a result, Henan’s population would increase by 20,000! When they get married and have children, the population will increase again!

"After the war, there were so many boys and girls, it wouldn't be a big deal for each of these soldiers to marry a few more women!" Qin Hui said again.

"Huh! What are you worrying about every day?" At this moment, a cold snort came from behind Qin Hui, and a middle-aged woman with a delicate face was standing behind Qin Hui.

This middle-aged woman is Qin Hui's wife Wang Clan! Qin Hui was terrified all his life! In history, it was Wang's instigation that Qin Hui really had the heart to kill Yue Fei.

"Madam, I'm worrying about national affairs!" Qin Hui said.

"This area in Kaifeng is very barren, it's too boring to stay here, I think we might as well return to Jiangnan! Go and ask your majesty, let your majesty give you an official position in Jiangnan." Wang said.

"Now there is Li Gang in Jiangnan, I can only be someone else's deputy there, and it will be hard to get ahead in my life! Staying here, as long as Henan is restored to prosperity, I will definitely be valued by His Majesty, and I will continue to come and go in the future!" Qin Hui said.

"Henan is so desolate, how can the prosperity be restored?" Wang said.

"I'm going to let Xi'er go to Jiangnan!" Qin Hui thought for a while and said.

"What are you going to do in Jiangnan?" Wang said.

"Go to Jiangnan to recruit people! Let Xi'er tell the people in Jiangnan that as long as they are willing to come to Henan, each family can get at least 10 acres of fertile land! If the family has a large population, it can be allocated 20 or 30 acres of fertile land! Many people in Jiangnan They are all tenant farmers and do not have their own land. After they hear this news, they will definitely be excited, and then they will go north! We will not only recruit people from the south of the Yangtze River, but also recruit people from Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu! In addition, I heard that your Majesty will be here. Jiangnan once again convened young people to form a production and construction corps. I would ask your Majesty to send some young people to Henan! With a large population, this place will naturally prosper!" Qin Hui said.

"I think you are thankless! Those untouchables are nostalgic for the homeland, and they don't want to leave their hometown at all!" Wang said.

"If there is interest, they will come naturally! They will not have their own land in Jiangnan for the whole life. They will have a lot of land immediately when they come to Henan. I don't believe that they are not moved!" Qin Hui said.

"You are not your majesty's confidant, no matter how well you do it, your majesty will not reuse you." Wang said again.

"That's not necessarily! I am the best at observing others in Qin Hui's life. Your Majesty is very different from King Kang! Your Majesty wants to reinvent Dasong, and he values ​​people who can do practical things and have the ability! My Qin Hui's ability is by no means inferior to other people! I am! He was a brilliant man at the time, who was destined to be in charge of the power of the world! Now in Henan, I am just dormant! I will use this time to do many things that satisfy your majesty! Your majesty was established in Yanyun, Hebei, Hedong, and Shandong. Courts and patrol rooms, I have also ordered people to set up courts and patrol rooms in various places in Henan. Everything will follow your majesty to please your majesty! The reason for developing a place now is to please your majesty!" Qin Hui smiled.

"Hey, I hope we leave this desolate place as soon as possible!" Wang said, unhappy in his heart.

"Madam, Da Song is about to revive! This time is the real ZTE, the unprecedented ZTE! Think about it, everyone in Yanyun, Central Plains, Sichuan and Shu, everyone has land in their homes, and everyone will be able to eat in the future. People have surplus wealth, what a sight? It hasn’t happened in the ages! Moreover, His Majesty has ordered that the land in Yanyun and Central Plains is not allowed to be resold! Then there will be no land mergers! Past dynasties, to the end, The land annexation is serious and the people cannot survive and have to rebel, but now it is not allowed to resell the land. Everyone has land and food, so naturally they will not rebel!" Qin Hui laughed.

He doesn't care about Wang's mood at all. He only finds the current world situation extremely interesting. In addition to wanting to gain power, he also really wants to participate in the construction of the new era.

"The land is not allowed to be resold. There will be no rich people that day?" The Wang family was surprised when he heard the news for the first time.

"It's not that there are no people who are rich. You can do business if you have money! Your Majesty has cancelled countless tax cards everywhere. This is to encourage people all over the world to do business! And, your Majesty has already said that north of Yanyun, the former Liao State Zhongjing and Shangjing , Tokyo, Liaodong area, land is allowed to resell, rich people can build large estates there, plant countless crops! Yanyun, Central Plains does not allow land resale, just for the stability of the world!" Qin Hui said.

In the early morning of the second day, Qin Hui first sent his son Qin Xi back to the south of the Yangtze River, and asked Qin Xi to summon the tenant farmers in the south of the Yangtze River to go north! In the afternoon, Liu Ze brought the generals to the town. Qin Hui and the generals discussed the marriage of the soldiers.

"The king values ​​the economy. Kaifeng is the center of the city. It extends in all directions, but unfortunately it is broken! I will send people to collect economic development methods, and then do research!" Qin Hui secretly said in the middle of the night.

Not long after, he sent more than a dozen officials to various places to collect economic development methods, not to mention.
