Take a step back, the sea and the sky, everyone knows this sentence, but when it really comes to things, there are very few people who can do it.

Knowing advance and retreat has always been the standard for measuring a person's maturity, and it has really reached a certain level, not to advance vigorously, but also to retreat, unless it is a prophet or a traverser, knowing that what is advancing is the abyss.

Zhao Xin is exactly such a situation, after he came to the Northern Song Dynasty, because of the attack, the whole person was also a little anxious, and he had no time to think, under the mention of Miao Yuan's words, he finally understood where his misunderstanding was.

The identity of the prince is very important, but the important thing is only the itself, not the added value brought by this identity, and the emperor is not omnipotent, at least, the emperor cannot leave the palace casually.

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty may be able to make a huge southern tour, but in addition to this dynasty, there is also the original Qin Shi Huang, the entire feudal dynasty, with a history of more than 2,000 years, how many can really go out on patrol.

When the emperor went on patrol, most of them were regarded as representatives of the faint monarch, and I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty, which replaced the cost by salt merchants, was also the representative of extravagance.

Even if you go out on patrol, that is, in your own one-acre and three-point land, the palace, the painting boat, and the ones you come into contact with are all relatively high-end, and you can't reach the low-level people, let alone help the development of the bottom.

The reform that Zhao Xin wanted to implement was not for the sake of money, like Wang Anshi, but based on a fundamental, a change that challenged the entire feudal era, from a small peasant economy, an economy based on land, to a seafaring economy, a capitalist era, which required constant adjustment and a long time to do.

Even if he is very young, it is a huge benefit to the Northern Song Dynasty if he is one step earlier.

In this case, being trapped in the palace, waiting for an infinite throne, following the rules, this is not the right direction of development, relying on this, even if you become the emperor, you can do much better than Renzong.

At most, he used a few gold hands to make the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty a little better, and adjusted the direction of some overall situations, which was far from the thorough and perfect reform he thought.

In the next spring ploughing ceremony, Zhao Xin has been thinking about this problem, he counted some pros and cons, and finally figured out everything, and if he figured it out, he figured it out.

Zhao Xin has always been a little entangled in the problem of identity, and his entanglement is not that he is unwilling to give up the glory and wealth of the prince, but the identity of a prince can solve many problems.

The class barriers of feudal society, compared with later generations, are more strict, because of the problem of development, China did not embark on an absolute class society like the European Middle Ages, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, mice are born to make holes, the former nine-product Zhongzheng system, because of the attack of foreign races, is gradually replaced by a more reasonable imperial examination system, but between the government and the people, the huge gap, or makes it difficult for many things to develop.

Shinong industry and commerce, these are four levels, merchants are at the lowest level, no matter which dynasty, merchants have unimaginable wealth, but become fed pigs, not only ordinary officials will eat and take cards, if it really develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably be killed.

Shen Wansan, who was rich enough in the Ming Dynasty, single-handedly took out half of the construction cost of Nanjing, which is an imperial city, a super metropolis with imperial palaces and perfect workshops.

How could he not kill such a rich person, let alone that he was arrogant and violated Zhu Yuanzhang's taboo.

Studying history, of course Zhao Xin knew this, when he crossed over and became the second son of the emperor Zhao Xin, he was unconsciously imprisoned by this identity, he just thought that with the identity of this prince, in the future, ascending to the throne, he could change the country.

In fact, it's not that it can't, but this road is too far, it will take 20 years, and in the future, even if you succeed in ascending the throne, will you be able to make great progress?

Replaced by the Tang Dynasty, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, it is easy to do this, the Han Dynasty is also okay, but other dynasties, not good, the Song Dynasty is the era of the development of feudal society to a relatively high level, and it has also developed the rule of culture to the peak.

The Song Dynasty's restrictions on imperial power have reached a peak, and the emperor and the scholars share the rights equally, which is also why Renzong even knows that the Wang family is doing it behind his back, and even knows that the initiator is the king of Runan County, and he can only slowly draw it.

Even if Renzong is the same as Shenzong, regardless of it, forcibly dealing with the Wang family may not be able to succeed.

When Wang Anshi changed the law, Shenzong's support for Wang Anshi was not exaggerated, but the change still could not be forcibly implemented, and even Wang Anshi changed the imperial examination system, taking the new law as a necessary item for the imperial examination, and if he did not recognize the new law, he would not be able to pass the imperial examination and achieve such an extreme state, and there was no way to save the new law.

Instead of changing the Northern Song Dynasty, the new law brought about endless party struggles, which eventually laid the foundation for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

From the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty to the end of the Shenzong Dynasty, in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were few traitors, and the most scolded was Lu Yijian, but looking at what Lu Yijian did, although the power was in all directions, there were not many places that were called traitors, at most they played with power and protected their own status, and even when they were at the strongest, they did not achieve the level of a word and an emperor.

But after that, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were really traitorous ministers, and even the Southern Song Dynasty appeared, killing the emperor's son, and selecting the powerful ministers inherited by young children from the clan.

It is this status quo that makes Zhao Xin's identity as a prince a little discounted, and now, in the case of Miao Yuan's warning, Zhao Xin suddenly became enlightened, the reform he wants to do, and it is not the reform of the whole country, the whole system, he deeply understands one thing, the reform of comprehensive promotion, that is suicide, just like China's reform and opening up in later generations, if Shenzhen is fully promoted in China, it will cause a lot of chaos.

China can afford the mistakes of one city, but not the whole country, and some of these detours are enough to shake the regime.

So, if it's not promoted throughout the country, does what he does really need to reach the level of the prince or even the crown prince?

If you think about it carefully, you don't need to, just take the special zone as an example, as long as there is a place, a place similar to the special zone, as long as there is a certain team and people, as long as you give him enough time, you can develop.

Even if it doesn't take ten or twenty years, take Miaojiazhuang as an example, in just three months, Miaojiazhuang has undergone earth-shaking changes, with this as the foundation, and then there is a soil for development, how many changes will he bring, as long as there are five years, this special zone will grow into a terrible place that people can hardly imagine.

Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty has a population of 1 million, which seems like a lot, but under his governance, the Special Economic Zone will have 1 million, or even 3 million in a short time, and in the future, it will even grow into the appearance of Shanghai in later generations, with a developed industry and a large population.

Money is not omnipotent, but the development of commerce, possession of force, money is omnipotent, when money and economy, become an important support in the military system under the premise of vigorously developing thermal weapons, as long as the problem of thermal weapons is solved, a city will also be the strongest force.

Even if Zhao Xin gives up this identity, he will be the son of Renzong, which cannot be changed, and this point in time is also quite critical.

Some people for the throne, did not hesitate to launch an attack on him in the form of rebellion, what can not be done, continue, will only make them worse, if it attracts foreign forces to peep, it is a catastrophe, he took the initiative to withdraw, will play a positive role in the stability of the Northern Song Dynasty.

At the same time, it is only the identity of the heir to the throne who takes the initiative to withdraw, not the refusal to recognize Renzong's father, as long as Renzong is there, as long as there is this relationship, plus he takes the initiative to take a step back, will others still be entangled in this issue?

faked his death to get out, removed the identity of the royal family, and turned into something else, but in Renzong's heart, this layer of relationship is still there, and in the same way, among those who have a peep on the throne, as long as Zhao Xin's identity is dead, then there is no possibility of resurrection.

The king of Runan County is Zongzheng, as long as the legitimacy of the throne is removed, according to the situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is impossible for him to ascend the throne, even Renzong can't do this, in this way, his identity in blocking the way of others will completely disappear, in the eyes of capable insiders, his status is respected, and there is no way in the way, who will not be able to get along with him, even the previous enemy, must take the initiative to defend him, really he has any accidents, at least, the possibility of them succeeding to the throne is completely gone.

Really but take a step back and open the sky, when Zhao Xin wanted to understand all this, he really found that this was an excellent opportunity, an excellent choice, on the surface, he suffered the most, and then Renzong, his own son could not succeed to the throne, what a great pain it was.

But in fact, his power has not diminished at all, and he has even been given a chance to develop freely.

On the surface, the identity of the prince is removed, then it is impossible for him to return to the palace, he can take advantage of the situation to make requests, for example, to put the credit of the Baozhou mutiny, and some others to his body, get a lord, or even seal a place, these are all precedents, even similar to the country, he is in the capital, but it will cause a certain amount of suspicion, only to go to the place, trapped in a small place, can calm everyone's heart.

This is not exactly what he expects, the power of science and technology, the power of capital, and the power of thermal weapons, what Zhao Xin lacks is not a position of power, but time, take advantage of this point in time, more benefits, so that he has a good starting point, three years he can completely change a city, five years he can completely change the Northern Song Dynasty, when the power is strong, what legitimacy, what tradition, in the face of absolute power, is all powder.
