Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 616: North Sea

As the world’s system changes, Zhao Chen, as an emperor, not only controls the Council of State, but also controls the Congress and the courts.

He left most of the political affairs to Wang Shu, not only because of the needs of the new system, but also because of the need for Congress and the courts to consume his huge energy!

This is an unprecedented reform from top to bottom in China. The fundamental system of the country is completely different from the previous three provinces and six ministries! Even the previous three provinces and six ministries were transformed step by step on the system of San Gong and Jiuqing. The current new system is very different from the three provinces and six ministries!

Whether it is the Congress or the court system, Zhao Chen needs to personally intervene and participate in the formulation of the system.

In the three months since the New Deal was launched, there has been no turbulence in the world.

When the government administration plan of the State Council was promulgated, the whole world was shocked.

Since ancient times, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to before Zhao Chen, although there were government offices and courts, the government and the court had things to deal with. There was nothing that rarely took the initiative to engage in a certain political affair, and even if there was, there was no detailed information. plan! There are even many emperors and zaisans who believe in doing nothing, just let the government be a monk for a day and pass the clock.

And now, the Government Affairs Council has a plan and a goal to govern the world. They have promulgated all the things they will accomplish in five years and let the world know!

Countless people in the city of Yanjing are discussing this matter. Whether it is a literati or a low-level citizen, they all feel that this is the kingly way of ruling the world.

After the promulgation of this policy plan, North Korean and Chinese officials seemed to be more diligent. Everyone knew that this goal must be reached within five years, otherwise it would not be enough to face the world! Throughout the Song Dynasty, officials from top to bottom were more pragmatic!

In April of the tenth year of Xuanwu, under the instruction of Zhao Chen, Li Chuwen proposed a motion, and the Congress passed the "Encourage Childbirth Law"!

Since ancient times, China has paid attention to having many children and many grandchildren, and all dynasties and dynasties have regarded the number of people as an important measure of national power.

From the Spring and Autumn and Warring States to the Song Dynasty, the age of marriage for the common people in the world was 16 men and 14 women. If it was the time of war, the government even ordered 14 men and 13 women to be married!

Nowadays, Da Song also regards 16 males and 14 females as the legal age for marriage. If a couple has more than three children, tax deductions will be made! If there are more than five women in a couple, taxes can be cut by almost half! And if the man reaches 20 and the woman reaches 18 and is not yet married, the whole family will have to levy more taxes.

In the eyes of future generations, such a system is incredible, and Zhao Chen himself finds it a bit weird, but when the "Encourage Childbirth Act" was introduced, there was almost no resistance, and most of the lawmakers agreed! Even if the bill was passed to the outside world, all the people of Yanjing City recognized it.

This era is different from later generations. In later generations, China’s land area is limited and national resources are limited. China’s population has reached the limit that the country can bear. However, in this era, the land area is much larger than later generations, and many remote places lack citizens. exist! In addition to the existing land area, Siberia in the North, the archipelagoes in the South China Sea, large areas of South Asia, and the yet undiscovered North American continent are all habitable populations! As long as the country is strong, you can have more land! So now this country is not afraid of overpopulation, but is afraid of underpopulation!

The former Goryeo princes and ministers, Wang Kai, Jin Can, and others also attended the parliamentary discussion.

Jin Can was full of emotion in his heart! After Da Song’s system reform, the efficiency of the State Council is far higher than before. Now Da Song has introduced such a policy of encouraging births. I am afraid that the population of Da Song will increase sharply after 10 or 20 years, and the national power will also increase sharply, and Korea will be restored. His hopes will be even thinner, and he himself is almost desperate for the restoration of Goryeo.

On April 20th, Congress discussed the second bill, which is a national bill.

The Song Dynasty did not recognize the alien identity of Koreans, Dali, and Annans, and believed that they belonged to the Han nationality, and their household registration must clearly indicate the identity of the Han nationality! Anyone who intermarries with the Han nationality will have all the children born to the Han nationality!

This is almost a bill to eliminate alien races, and this time there has been a lot of controversy in Congress.

Zhao Chen was present in Congress. He did not interfere with the bill, but allowed the members of Congress to discuss it.

Until the end of April, after many discussions, the bill was amended several times and finally passed.

It's just that if any bill wants to be formally promulgated, it still needs Zhao Chen's approval.

Zhao Chen signed his name on the bill, indicating that it can be promulgated to the world, and the Congress began to discuss the formal education bill. Many members even went to the Faculty of State Administration to learn about the advanced education policy, and then proceeded in the Congress. discuss.

It has reached the end of April. From north to south, spring is blooming everywhere in China!

Above the vast sea, dozens of warships are heading northeast at this moment!

The waves were so great that the waves splashed on the bow. At this moment, a middle-aged general was standing on the bow, and a young teenager was following him.

The middle-aged general looks very stable, but this young general gives people a sense of liveliness and excitement.

"Uncle Wang, we have been walking on the sea for half a month, haven't we reached Dongying yet?" the young general said.

"Let's not go to Dongying, but to the islands in the north of Dongying! The waves are too big these days, so our marching speed is much slower!" the middle-aged general said.

"There are islands in the north of Dongying?" the teenager asked strangely.

"Of course there is! If you go east from Libin Mansion, the road will probably be much closer, but we are starting from Korea, so it seems that the journey is far away!" The middle-aged general smiled.

This middle-aged general is not someone else, it is Wang Gui, and the young general next to him is Wu Gong, the son of Wu Jie.

"It's getting dark, let's go back to sleep, maybe we can reach our destination tomorrow morning!" Wang Gui said.

The fleet was still moving forward. When it was midnight, the ship suddenly stopped. Wang Gui and Wu Gong both hurriedly put on their clothes and came outside.

"Two generals, it's ashore!" a captain came over and said.

"Oh? Where is this place?" Wang Gui said.

"There is no such place on the map." Xiaowei said.

"Immediately pass the order to let the soldiers prepare to land!" Wang Gui said.

After a while, one by one soldiers got off the boat, and they stepped on the beach, and Wang Gui and Wu Gong had also arrived on the shore.

Someone lit a torch, and they could see what seemed to be a piece of grass in front of them.

"Explore the surrounding ten miles first, and then explore the whole island after daybreak!" Wang Gui ordered.

Thousands of naval soldiers were walking towards the surrounding area. After a short time, they returned here. There was nothing but woods and grass in the surrounding area.

Finally, the sky was faintly bright, and only then did Wang Gui realize that the scenery in front of him was exceptionally beautiful, the grassland was endless, and there seemed to be a hill in the distance.

"Wu Gong, let's each lead a thousand soldiers and horses forward! If you encounter an enemy, immediately inform the other party! Leave a thousand people here to guard the ship!" Wang Gui said.

Wu Gong nodded.

The two of them headed towards the east and northeast respectively.

Wang Gui led a thousand soldiers and horses to go forward for a whole morning, and no enemy was found. It seems that this is an undeveloped island! In the afternoon, Wang Gui divided the 1,000 soldiers and horses into three parts, and explored in three directions.

When the sun went down, Wang Gui still didn't find anyone here!

The next morning, Wang Gui continued to march forward with his troops. This time they found a group of wild horses. The crowd caught more than a dozen wild horses, and then rode forward towards the front.

It was only in the afternoon of this day that they discovered a small amount of human existence.

These people are very low, with a lot of hair on their bodies, and wearing animal skin clothes. When they saw Wang Gui's army, all of them showed extreme horror.

After traveling around the island for five days, Wang Gui and Wu Gongcai met again, both of them with excited expressions on their faces.

"This seems to be an uninhabited island. There are only a few savages here! I am afraid that the total number of savages on the island is only tens of thousands! This island is very big, it can be said to be another Goryeo!" Wu Gong said excitedly. .

"It's still much smaller than Goryeo, less than half of Goryeo, but it's the size of half the province of Central Plains!" Wang Gui also said excitedly.

They didn't even know that this was the famous Hokkaido in later generations, and it was also the 21st largest island in the world, with an area equivalent to Ireland! It is now in the 12th century, and in history until after the 16th century, Japanese talents came to Hokkaido and established political power here, and now it is still a barren land. The savages they saw were actually Ezos! The Ezo people are known for their low stature, numerous body hairs, and a small population.

"Put the Yellow Dragon Banner on this piece of land. From now on this will be the territory of my Song Dynasty! Send someone to report to your Majesty immediately. We will continue to lead the fleet to explore north!" Wang Gui laughed.
