At the end of the Battle of Gufengtai, Zhang Shouyue and Qin Gui slowly withdrew with the soldiers and horses of Huanqing Road.

There are still many things to do in Huizhou, and some forts must be built, but Tiandu Mountain is in front of it, as long as a few forts are built on the side of the Yellow River, and then some military villages can be expanded on the site of some castles of the original Xixia people.

After all, the Western Xia ruled Huizhou for so many years, and the Qiang people accounted for a large proportion, and many Qiang people still turned to the Western Xia.

A large number of roads had to be built to change the backward appearance of the region, but the Song Dynasty had many prisoners of war in their hands, and in addition, they continued to promote the policy of using labor in lieu of taxes on the Tiandu Mountain.

If this is the case, and some tribes are still like Li Xian before, then there is no doubt that there will be a brutal suppression by the Song army.

Subsequently, a large number of immigrants from Lizhou Road will be arranged.

But these affairs have nothing to do with Huanqing Road.

When the main army returned, the Planter Dao became even more unscrupulous, wantonly transporting the green salt back to Gyeongju or Yeonju.

The troops of Huanqing Road were withdrawn, and the pressure on the army of Yanyan Road was also reduced.

So Liu Changzuo decisively sent troops to the Dali River, but this time it was not to take back the people, but to expel the people on the north bank of the Dali River to the side of Hengshan, and did not let them bring any supplies, and forcibly moved to the north.

It seems that there are still some Western Xia armies in Yinzhou Xiazhou, if you are not convinced, then come to war.

However, it is only an expulsion, as long as those who do not resist, there is no massacre or other acts.

Maybe Wang Ju did feel that there were too many people dying in his hands, not the Tangut people, but the group of monkeys and natives in the south, so Wang Ju is getting softer and softer now.

Including the other side, as long as they do not resist. Do not kill tribes that plunder immigrants. Surrender or not. It's not like it was at the beginning, and it was killing and poking on a large scale.

Anyway, these indigenous civilizations are backward, the population is increasing slowly, and the immigrants are not worried about land and food, and there are policies to encourage more births and more children, so it will not take many years to naturally dilute the proportion of these indigenous populations to a certain extent. Even if there are indigenous people, it is not enough to do harm. Wang Ju's psychology also determined the main tone of this use of troops, although most of the Qiang people on the north bank of the Dali River were diehards of Western Xia, and even many people participated in the Yongle City Bloody Case.

Most of the people were expelled away, and these tribes couldn't help but obey, and there were no reinforcements from the Western Xia in the rear, so how could they stop Liu Changzuo's tens of thousands of troops in their own battles?

Then Liu Changzuo sent people to harvest the summer grain, and sent a large number of livestock from Hebei back to Yanzhou, and at the same time sent an army. Before coming to the ruins of Yongle City, he began to recover the corpses of the soldiers who died tragically in Yongle City.

After that's all that is done. The Yanzhou army slowly withdrew back.

Then he sent an army to transport the corpses to the capital in a special six-wheeled long car.

However, in addition to getting some grain and livestock and recovering the corpses, this battle was not the surprise that Wang Ju said.

…………

Because of the profits brought by the Taoxi sword, the people of Wangjiazhai are now very wealthy, and most of them have built brick houses.

Rows of blue brick and brown tile houses are hidden in the shade of green trees, which is very beautiful.

But many people don't know Wang Ju, now Wangjiazhai is not the original Wangjiazhai that migrated over, the price of Taoxi sword is high, but every sword comes out, it takes a lot of manpower to forge repeatedly, so many people have migrated over one after another.

Even if some of the original people of Wangjiazhai have passed away, and there are many young people, Wang Ju doesn't know him.

Even the patriarch was replaced, replaced by an old man named Wang Sheng, when he was in Yanzhou, his house was not far from Wang Ju's cave, according to his generation, Wang Ju also had to call the third uncle.

Under the leadership of this third uncle, Wang Ju entered Wangjiazhai, which is his home.

Wang Ju took it out and used it as a private school in several surrounding villages, since Wang Ju came back, the private school also stopped teaching, Wang Sheng asked the villagers to clean up the house, so that Wang Ju's family could live. But Wang Ju came back to worship his ancestors, and the delay was not long, and Wang Ju did not object.

Wang Ju went all the way into this private school, but the house rights are still in his hands, and it should still belong to his house, but Wang Ju doesn't care, including the original cave, and the house where the Li family in Yanzhou married, Wang Ju took it out together as a private school for the surrounding people. But the house in the capital is different, and it can't be a private school if you want to, and the surrounding area is full of noble families, so I plan to hand it over to Brother Zhang Gui in the future. In the past few years, he has still hung under Wang Ju's name to prevent Zhao Ji from summoning him to Beijing to report on his work, and it is not appropriate for a large family to stay in the post house.

Outside, many people slaughtered pigs and sheep to welcome Wang Ju's return.

Wang Ju said in a low voice: "Concubine, when you leave, take out a thousand yuan to help the poor people and lonely old people in the village, and you can't take advantage of the villagers." ”

The concubine sighed.

Wang Ju walked out with his hands behind his back.

Outside the village is a field that can not be seen at a glance, and the summer wheat is basically harvested, but the fields are full of green millet seedlings and bean seedlings, and a thriving scene is not as desolate as when he originally opened up Zhengbaiqu.

Wang Ju had good eyesight, and he actually saw some miscellaneous grains he brought from the other side in some memorably.

Although the battle of Vaxia caused many Baojie soldiers in Zhengbaiqu to die, it did not affect Zhengbaiqu's crop cultivation, especially in the next two or three years, Zhengbaiqu's grain is particularly important.

After the third uncle made the arrangements, he entered the house and said, "Taibao, how many days do you plan to stay when you come back this time?" ”

"In just a few days, after worshipping our ancestors, we will go to Hezhou."

"Hezhou, so far?"

"Tubo betrayed our Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court may use troops against Tubo, so I have to go to Hezhou, otherwise I can't command."

Whether it is Hezhou or the imperial court's use of troops against Tibet, for the "third uncle", it is too far away, unimaginably far. But Wang Sheng looked proud: "I didn't expect that there was a big man in that poor mountain village." ”

The two talked for a while, and Wang Sheng talked about this private school, and there were a total of seventeen juzi before and after, including two young people in Wangjiazhai who passed the exam.

Speaking of this, Wang Sheng was very proud, thinking about how many moves a security army had made back then?

Wang Ju secretly wrinkled his brows.

Wang Ju didn't like this move.

Why did Wang Ju classify the imperial examination as a fourth-level examination, and now there are too many scholars participating in the imperial examination. Each session has reached almost 100,000 people. Even close to 200,000 people.

Some large states have large populations. Education is developed, for example, there are more than 200,000 households in the thirteen counties of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the number of scholars who can participate in the examination can reach three or four thousand or four or five thousand people each time, which undoubtedly brings heavy pressure to the state capitals.

But it is only the state capitals that relieve the pressure of the test, and when it comes to the provincial test. There are not only new lifters, but also old lifters, so the number of new and old lifters in each provincial examination can reach more than 10,000 people, and sometimes it can reach 20,000 people.

Think about how difficult it will be to compete for only two or three hundred places with so many moves.

Therefore, although this private school has produced seventeen scholars, there is not a single jinshi. If you win the jinshi, you may not be able to become a high-ranking official. If you don't get into the jinshi, it's useless.

"Such an education, such a ...... imperial examination" Wang Ju sighed in his heart, and then his face was also a little proud.

There is also education on the other side, which is not more advantageous than the Song Dynasty for the time being, but with the accumulation of time, the proportion of literate people will soon exceed that of the Song Dynasty.

On the other side, some young students with flexible minds will also be hired as officials and staff officials in various towns, but on the other side, officials are actually officials, at least civil servants, and there is no discrimination, so the salary is much higher than that in the hinterland.

However, when the other side hires these young students, it is not to see how much they know the scriptures and meanings, but whether they can learn and apply their professional knowledge, and if they can learn and apply it, they will be hired, and then let them use the knowledge they have learned to lead the people on the road to greater prosperity.

And when teaching in various schools, this article is deliberately mentioned, no matter whether students will choose to be officials and staff officials in the future, or choose other professions, they must also learn and apply, only by learning and applying, can they use the knowledge they have learned to bring themselves a better life, which is the real wisdom.

In fact, in addition to keeping up with the productivity of science and technology, many systems on the other side are no less than **** systems.

Now the other side is still not as rich as the Song Dynasty, not only the number of people is too small, the average wealth is not as good as the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has many poor people, but there are many rich people in the hands of the money is frighteningly large, so on average, it is still far better than the other side.

Of course, Wang Ju would rather have the wealth of the other side than the wealth of the Song Dynasty.

But it is precisely because of the differences in all aspects of institutional education that even wealth will catch up with the other side in great strides.

Even in the future, when the wealth of the two sides is almost the same, eighty percent of the wealth here will be controlled in the hands of one adult, and the wealth in the hands of the second, third and fourth households over there will reach more than eighty percent, that is, the proportion of the middle class will be several times that of the Song Dynasty.

However, these thoughts, Wang Ju would not be stupid and swept Wang Sheng's excitement to say, and put them in his heart.

Wang Ju chose an auspicious day for the zodiac.

He hasn't come back to worship his ancestors for many years, and maybe he went to the other side, and it is impossible to come back to worship his ancestors, so this time the ancestor worship is very grand.

The auspicious day of the zodiac is nine days later.

But on the third day, Wang Ju suddenly received a letter from Cai Qu, and the content of the letter made Wang Ju laugh.

This matter has to start with the bamboo paper workshop.

Wang Ju was forced by Wang Anshi to sell the bamboo paper workshop to the Gao family, one is angry, and the other is to think of a way to get closer to the Gao family, not the Gao family, it is Gao Tao, what's the matter, you have to try it.

However, Mao Yong, he was alone, Wen Yanbo was a group of people at that time, no matter how much effort he tried, Gao Taotao's response to him became more and more evil.

But the bamboo paper workshop came to the hands of the Gao family, and the imperial court didn't want to get a penny of commercial taxes, and even a clever Fujian road people didn't know what means to use, but also got the bamboo paper technology, although it was not as good as the bamboo paper of the Gao family, but it was cheaper, but only a year later, the Gao family used some means to send this person to prison. Therefore, this workshop alone can almost bring more than four or five hundred thousand yuan of profits to the Gao family every year.

Wang Ju is not a virgin, and it is impossible to hold grievances for this unknown person, but he is very unhappy in his heart.

So he secretly introduced bamboo to the other side, and there are also bamboos on the other side, but the number is very small, and there are many bamboos that are not suitable for making bamboo paper.

However, this bamboo paper is not even satisfied with the paper on the other side, and the various fleets have to transport a large amount of paper trade every year.

Because Wang Ju didn't like it in his heart, he simply reduced the purchase of bamboo paper and increased hemp paper and rattan paper.

The Gao family also sent someone to inquire about this matter. The answer from the other side is also simple. It's like wheat usually has a bucket of thirty wen. Su Yidou is less than ten wen, but when the northwest war is urgent, whether it is wheat or millet transported to the front line, at least three or four hundred wen, before these three or four hundred wen, what is the difference between ten wen and thirty wen?

This is the cost of transportation of military rations, and the cost of transportation by sea is even higher.

So what is the difference between bamboo paper and rattan paper hemp paper?

The difference is not large. Although the quality of bamboo paper has improved now, the toughness can be compared to rattan paper and hemp paper? Although the other side began to transport bamboo paper, it was not recognized by others, so now it has to use rattan paper and hemp paper.

In this way, the Gao family was fooled, although the actual sea freight was high, but a ship was often calculated in 10,000 stones, and on average, it was not as amazing as everyone imagined.

Bamboo paper is also popular in the Great Shoku country.

But if people don't buy it, it's hard to sell it? The Gao family has nothing to do with this matter.

However, the large-scale procurement on the other side has led to a boom in the business of paper workshops in many areas. Including a rattan paper workshop in Yuezhou, the owner of the workshop is called Guo Yuanzhang. This is a very shrewd person, he absorbed some production technology of rice paper and bamboo paper, with ancient rattan, bark, hemp, straw and more than a dozen other materials, developed a new rattan paper, not only the cost is cheap, and the quality of the paper is also good, it has become the focus of the other side of the purchase.

Especially last year's 30 million purchases, the Guo family got tens of thousands of paper business.

The Guo family's business is thriving, attracting a person to covet, there is a local horse surnamed Yanei, his father is Jiangnan West Road transfer judgment Ma Huijing, this Ma Yanei personally came to Guo's house, took out 5,000 silk handover, and said I bought your workshop.

The Guo family's workshop is now very large-scale, and it is not angry, that is, the hardware cost is at least forty or fifty thousand yuan, Guo Yuanzhang disagreed, and then trouble came to the door.

Under the pressure of Ma Yanei, Guo Yuanzhang was angry and decided to break the net, first gave in to the fake, accepted the 2,000 deposit from Ma Yanei, and then secretly sold the workshop to a staff member surnamed Qian in Hangzhou at a price of 30,000 yuan.

Later, Guo Yuanzhang took the more than 30,000 yuan of silk handover, went to the bank department to exchange it for gold bars, found a captain surnamed Xia who was good friends with him, and with the help of the captain surnamed Xia, secretly fled to the other side.

Guo Yuanzhang couldn't be found, Ma Yanei and Qian Yuanwai began to quarrel, Qian Yuan's background is not small, he belongs to Qian Yu's lineage, although he is not Qian Yu's descendants, but the relationship is not very estranged.

Who is afraid of whom, in the end, they all alarmed the government of Hangzhou and Yuezhou.

Teng Yuanfa, the prefect of Hangzhou, and Liu Zai, the governor of Yuezhou, found Captain Xia, Guo Yuanzhang received the deposit from the Ma family, so he should not sell the workshop to the Qian family, at least return the 2,000 yuan deposit to the Ma family now.

Captain Xia was angry, and first asked Teng Yuanfa, Gong is famous, some people say that Gong is quite similar to the style of his grandfather and uncle (Fan Zhongyan and Fan Chunren), but now how can he do evil and act for the tiger?

Teng Yuanfa was very wronged, and asked, where did he do wrong?

Captain Xia said that Guo Yuanzhang's family's work was worth at least 50,000 yuan, and the annual net income reached nearly 10,000 yuan. Don't you know?

Teng Yuanfa looked at Liu Zai, he really didn't know.

Liu Zai said unhappily, so why didn't Guo Yuanzhang come to the state city to litigate?

Captain Xia was not afraid of him, and asked rhetorically, lawsuit? Do you know why Guo Yuanzhang sold the property of 50,000 guan to Qian Yuanwai for 30,000 yuan? It was your Yuezhou officials who intimidated and threatened, and Guo Yuanzhang was cornered, so he sold it to Qian Yuanwai. Let me ask Liu Zhizhou, your officials have protected each other, where will he go to litigate?

Then why did you take the deposit from the Ma family?

The industry of 50,000 guan was forced to get rid of 30,000 guan, and the two thousand guan money should be a small subsidy, what are you doing, Liu Zhizhou, you have the ability to arrest me, what kind of bastard are you doing.

Liu Zai's face turned pale with anger.

This is right and wrong, Teng Yuanfa was also confused, so he wrote to the court.

Zhao Ji was furious, and issued an edict to demote Ma Huijing to Lingnan, and became the commander of a small army, and Ma Yanei became the second generation of officials of the pit father.

However, Guo Yuanzhang did this, it must be wrong, Zhao Ji was the same as Teng Yuanfa, and he didn't know what was wrong, so he asked Cai to write a letter and sent it to Wang Ju with a fast horse.

Wang Ju replied with a letter, this matter itself is easy to solve, I ordered the other side to recover these two thousand yuan, it really can't be done, and Guo Yuanzhang will be subsidized in the future.

The key is the impact behind this incident.

Guo Yuanzhang is proficient in the manufacturing technology of various hemp paper rattan paper, but there is no such talent on the other side, so the other side purchases a large amount of paper from the imperial court every year. Or for the other side. Or take it to the outside for trading. As a result, it brought me a lot of taxes and fed many people.

But whether it is rattan or hemp, there are also some materials on the other side, that is, some materials are not available on the other side, and they can also be introduced.

And it begins with Guo Yuanzhang. Many skilled businessmen, under the pressure of the powerful and powerful, have taken money and technology to the other side, and finally I am facing the rich people, only a group of powerful people are left, what kind of situation will it be?

The imperial court punishment was too light.

Even if Ma Huijing is demoted to Lingnan, maybe a few years later, Gao Tao will take the position and promote this person again.

And Liu Zai really doesn't have the idea of protecting officials and officials?

After writing the letter, Wang Ju shook his head. These are the diseases...... It's not unique to the Song Dynasty.

And if you can't get it right, he really made it true. Later, as the other side became more and more prosperous, some powerless businessmen fled to the other side under the pressure of some powerful people...... It turned out that there was no way to escape, could it be possible to escape to the more backward Liao and Wa countries? But now there is a place to escape.

Therefore, Wang Ju said that the three publics, justice, fairness, and fairness, it is extremely important.

But this is just a trivial matter, the internal environment of the Song Dynasty is deteriorating, but compared with other dynasties, it is still good, and after Wang Ju's three years of governance, it has somewhat prevented some ills from deteriorating further.

The focus is still on Tibet and Western Xia...... As for this auspicious day of the zodiac, it is just a pretense, he is waiting, waiting for a person, a huge convoy.

Soon people came......

"Zijing, how many troops are there in the area of Yinxia Shiyou in Western Xia?" Wang Ju first asked Liu Changzuo to sit down and let the concubine make tea, and then asked.

"The information from the scouts was only about thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses, and I led my troops across the Dali River, and also killed and captured two or three thousand Western Xia soldiers, but after hearing that Liang Yi's troops were defeated, I ordered another conscription......"

"Don't care about their military service, the reason why the Western Xia was able to establish the country is orthodoxy, it is the hearts of the people, what is the orthodox people's hearts, because most of them are descendants of the party members, and the name of the Wei clan is the Tuoba clan, so everyone respects it. Once it loses the hearts and minds of the people, Western Xia is nothing. ”

"Taibao is also in this statement."

"I wonder if the expulsion of the people has had any effect?"

"The effect is good," Liu Changzuo said happily.

Nearly 10,000 people were driven out by Liu Changzuo before and after, but it was a little summer grain outside the mountain, and now it was harvested, these people fled with nothing, if they were placed in the Song Dynasty, there was money and food, and the relief would be stable, and what was most lacking in Western Xia now was not money and food, but population.

But where is the money and food relief in Western Xia now?

So in order to survive, these displaced people had to burn, kill and loot everywhere, and the whole mountain became a mess.

"That's good, I'll write a chapter right away, ask the imperial court to let Hedong send troops, and then I will order Chongzhizhou to withdraw from Yanzhou, mobilize a team of soldiers and horses, and cooperate with you in the battle."

Wang Ju has no right to mobilize the soldiers and horses on Hedong Road.

But Zhang Qi went to Hedong, there was no such problem, Wang Ju could directly bypass the imperial court, a letter was sufficient.

The two talked again, Wang Ju looked at Liu Changzuo's pale sideburns, and said, "Zijing, stay up for a few more years, and you can rest." ”

Although with the help of this continuous battle, Wang Ju and Zhang Qi both deliberately promoted and sharpened some young generals to let them grow up quickly, but many old generals are old, such as Yan Da and Liu Changzuo.

Beauty is twilight, and heroes are white-headed.

Wang Ju couldn't help but feel emotional.

Liu Changzuo didn't care, smiled and said: "The last general is not talented, and he has to be appreciated by the Taibao, so he can make a little difference, even if he dies on the battlefield, what a pity." ”

"Zijing, I don't want to be sad, I want a reunion, a comedy, and I don't want to say bad things," Wang Ju said with a small joke.

Liu Changzuo immediately hurried back to arrange, and this future operation was one of the surprises Wang Ju said.

As many officers and men of the rotational garrison retreated one after another, not only the officers of the rotational garrison, but also some officers and men of the battalions who were weak in combat ability, also withdrew to the rear one after another this time.

But there is something strange about their line, that is, they are carrying the corpses dug up from Yongle City all the way south.

Many corpses could not be found, and some civilians were taken to the rear of Western Xia to be tortured alive, but Liu Changzuo's subordinates still dug up more than 140,000 corpses.

Now these soldiers and civilians who died tragically have rotted into skeletons together, but from these skeletons, you can still see their original tragic death.

And it's not one or two, it's more than 140,000 bodies, and the endless six-wheeled vehicles are all filled with corpses, among which the people on Shaanxi Road are the most affected, and the convoy comes all the way, and hundreds of people are crying on both sides of the road.

Wang Ju deliberately went to the official road, he was silent for a long time, he would not cry, but his mood was equally heavy.

Standing silently for a long time, he said to an instructor, make a few flags, with three lines of words on them, one soldier and nine people, the people are innocent, why die?

"Ah," the commander said.

After a while, the convoy gradually moved away, which was also Wang Ju's intention, even at this point, many scholars still want to be "peaceful", still want to be the Virgin, now let you see with your own eyes, how the Western Xia treated the ordinary people of the Song Dynasty.

However, this line will deliberately detour from two places, one is the door of the elders in Luoyang, and the other is Sima Guang's home......

PS: This chapter may be in transition, it's written very unfeelingly, let's make do with it. There are still twenty or thirty chapters left, and the book is coming to an end. Although my grades were terrible, I didn't finish it all. (To be continued.) )
