"Congratulations," Zhang Ji said.

In recent years, Wang Ju has used the country's main military force - the forbidden army is really not much, and the money and silk are also not used much, but it can be regarded as "unstoppable", and it stands to reason that it is time to rest and recuperate.

As for the role of getting the vast south, let's look at this sentence: those who are wide have many people, those who are large have many people, and those who are strong are brave. It is Mount Tai that does not let the soil, so it can become big; The river and the sea do not choose a trickle, so it can be deep.

The combination of Jiaozhi and sea route expansion made the Song Dynasty undoubtedly have another super granary in the future, so that when the year of the catastrophe comes, there will be a good logistics support.

Because of the road, the prospect of Dali is not very good, but now there is a large copper mine in the Wumeng area, and this one is enough.

Although it is not much to make a profit now, even Jinghu South Road is not as good, but the cost is low, needless to say in the early stage, with Wang Ju's land reform and return, there is not much harm to the later governance.

Therefore, Wang Ju's measures in the south did not hinder the overall situation of the Song Dynasty.

What is the overall situation of the Song Dynasty? Western Xia, Liao!

Liao really didn't dare to think about it, but even Western Xia was not so easy to take.

Therefore, the country should be considered peaceful in the past few years, and in this case, the role of Wang Ju in going to the East Mansion is far greater than the role in the West Mansion.

In the past, it was said that he was young and underaged, but now there is no problem with these two items, and he is only a vice minister of the Eastern Government, and he is not the prime minister.

So he didn't think much of it.

"Brother Qianfu, do you remember Wang Ming?"

This Wang Ming is not the Wang Ming who later specifically opposed Taizu, but the Wang Ming who was the second hero of Pan Meiping's Southern Han Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi used Zhao Pu's strategy. First the south, then the north. Several countries in the South. Wu Yue is the most worry-free. followed by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then the Northern Han Dynasty, but were there still people in the Northern Han Dynasty at that time (only more than 30,000 households)? The rest of Shu and Jinghu Road were once in a mess, even if the Min State took the initiative to surrender, there was a big trouble.

Guangnan Road is the farthest from the Central Plains, but the trouble is not big, but it is not very peaceful, and there are some rebellions and wars one after another. Therefore, Pan Mei stayed for a while and went to Taiyuan with Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin left Wang Ming in Guangnan for a long time, and did not recall Wang Ming until the Southern Tang Dynasty was recovered.

Wang Ju deliberately used Wang Ming to talk about things, in fact, it meant that Zhang Qi would suppress a big rebellion immediately if there was a big rebellion on this Yunnan Road in the future, and if there was no big rebellion, he would also use a small army in peacetime.

There are too many reasons to further change the land and return it to the river, or further open up the south and southwest regions.

In this way, the court will not blame Zhang Qi, and Zhang Qi can also stay on Yunnan Road for a long time.

After all, the court officials were mixed. Even if there are good officials, they don't understand military affairs. Don't you understand the military in the current Yunnan Road?

After Wang Ju said this, he left Xianshan City.

A large group of soldiers divided into two routes, one still went back from Guangnan West Road, and then went back to the capital along the Li River, Lingqu, and Xiangshui. Wang Ju himself took Qiong Niang and more than a dozen guards, as well as the three guests who were taken in from Dali, and went straight to Weichu Mansion, Nongdong Mansion, Dali Mansion, and Moutong Mansion, and went directly to Shanju County, which is a promise to Qiongniang, or he also wants to see Shangri-La in this era......

"Drink a bowl of tea and let the donkey rest," Mr. Li said.

The old couple stopped the donkey cart and carried their grandson into the teahouse in the roadside bazaar.

This teahouse is located on the main road in the south of Yizheng County, and the business has been good usually, although the weather is getting cooler, but at this noon, it is still very hot, and it is full of people.

Li Laohan asked for two bowls of tea, a plate of fruit, the fruit was for his grandson to eat, and asked the guy to add a little forage to his black donkey, and then listened to the rap of Mr. Zhengzhong.

It is the story of Wang Ju's use of soldiers.

After a while, a large group of guests came outside, dressed as if they had come from the south.

This is also normal, the trade between Dali and the Song Dynasty is not only the Guangnan West Road and Rongzhou, Luzhou, there is also a main road in the Northern Song Dynasty, from Dali Jianchang Mansion across the Dadu River, Lizhou, Yazhou, directly to Qiongzhou, to Chengdu Mansion. This trade route was not only a horse road, but also other trades.

Dali was taken by the Song Dynasty, all of which were in the Song Dynasty, and this trade road became more and more prosperous during this time.

However, although this group of guests are all riding horses, there is only one carriage, and it seems that there are still people's carriages, not wagons, and a few short ponies, but Li Laohan and the villagers in the teahouse did not pay much attention, as for the ponies, there are not too many Bashu ponies.

The group also walked to this teahouse, and a lean middle-aged man in the leader shouted and asked the guys to bring tea.

Everyone turned their heads to take a look, and quickly listened to the gentleman's story, but this group of people happened to be sitting next to Li Laohan.

Mr. also glanced at the group of people, and then continued, the content of the story was not far from the truth, but the words used were quite unfavorable to Wang Ju.

Indeed, Dali is a little better, but in the matter of Jiaozhi, it depends on how you look at it, if you put aside the country, what Wang Ju did was very cruel.

One of the people in the group stood up, but was pulled to sit down by another man.

Li Laohan high-fived.

The middle-aged man who stood up asked strangely, "Old Weng, why are you applauding?" ”

Although it came from the south, it had an authentic northern accent.

It's not a northern accent, but an authentic Song Dynasty official dialect, but where does Li Laohan know?

Li Laohan said: "This Lang Jun, let me ask, isn't that Wang Shaobao's approach cruel?" Besides, did Dali recruit our Da Song or provoke our Da Song? ”

That person obviously came to the Bashu region for the first time, although Li Laohan also said it in "official language", it was still very difficult to listen, so he was stunned before asking: "Isn't it inspiring for Wang Shaobao to open up territory for the imperial court?" ”

"Da Lang, look at my grandson."

"Hmmm......"

"His father was dragged to Dali by the butcher to die in battle, and his daughter-in-law was young, and when my son died, she remarried, and my family only had the old and the young......"

The man seemed unable to refute it, and the battle to pacify Dali was mainly the army led by Wang Ju. However, Kumamoto also participated in some battles with the Fan soldiers and the Shu soldiers. It is true that some soldiers were sacrificed.

If the government pension is improper. When my son dies, I will surely be silent in grief as a relative.

So the man was silent for a long time before he muttered, "Butcher......"

After eating tea for a while, Li Laohan left the teahouse again, but only after a while, the pedestrian chased after him again.

The big man who was talking to Li Laohan just now asked, "Weng Weng, your surname." ”

"I don't dare to say it's expensive, the small one is surnamed Li." Li Laohan replied humbly. I don't know what this group of people do, but it still doesn't look simple.

"What's in this donkey cart?"

"Silk."

"Paying taxes?"

"There are only about ten acres of land in a small family, where can I pay so many taxes. This is not the imperial court to let the villagers pay taxes with silk cotton, so after the autumn, the price of silk rises rapidly. The small ones use a few spare money to buy silk in the spring, and sell them again in the autumn tax to earn a few poor money. ”

"That's right...... How many children does Weng Weng have? ”

"Just a son, a woman."

"A son, how did the government recruit Ding?"

"The son was born tall, and the government forcibly dragged him away. The little ones know that it's not a good thing, but they can look at Bashu Taiping. So there was no objection, but I kept worrying in my heart, and sure enough, something happened. ”

In ancient times, forcibly pulling soldiers was also the most feared thing for the people. The Song Dynasty was a little better, especially after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, but by the time of Song Yingzong, the situation was getting worse, first Shaanxi Sanding stabbed one, and then the whole country increased the number of soldiers, and then now there is Wang Anshi's armor protection law.

But relatively speaking, Bashu is indeed slightly better, except for the Yangtze River region, because of the southwest Yi, battles break out from time to time, but in the surrounding areas of Chengdu, since Song Zhenzong, there are very few soldiers.

On Li Laohan, this time Wang Ju used troops in Dali, for him, it was a miracle from heaven.

Another person said, "Isn't Bashu a silk?" ”

"Shituo, this is a strange thing in Bashu, because the road is long and the cost of transporting grain is too high, so the court asked the people of Bashu to pay taxes with silk instead of grain. Therefore, Bashu is a silk silk, but the local silk has not been enough, so when it comes to paying taxes, many merchants will go up the silk from the side of Jinghu Road, and in turn transport it to Bashu to seek the difference. ”

"Less...... Why didn't the imperial court make adjustments? ”

"How?"

"Let the people pay the money, and the court will use this money to buy silk silk on the side of Jinghu Road, won't it save a lot of floating fees?"

"The truth is this truth, but the imperial court copper money has not been enough, the people of Bashu use more iron money, or merchants use Jiaozi, before the reputation is fully established, what is iron money and Jiaozi? Iron! Paper! The imperial court is also afraid of what happens. Besides, the adjustment between several paths, is that simple? Let's talk about this Qiongzhou, a strange thing happened before, when Renzong, he wanted to avoid the suffering of the salt administration of the people of Qiongzhou, and issued an edict to exempt more than 1,000 salt affairs from Qiongzhou, but as a result, Qiongzhou increased its expenditure by more than 10,000 yuan in the second year. ”

"How is this possible?"

"What's impossible? Nominally, the imperial court only got more than 1,000 yuan of salt profits, but the people below paid more than 1,000 yuan, and the harsh ink in front of the various officials and the strong squeezing of the merchants, isn't it more than 10,000 yuan? This more than 1,000 pieces of salt was exempted, and the more than 10,000 pieces of invisible harsh taxes also emerged. ”

"Renzong doesn't care?"

"How? The water is clear and there are no fish, the world is the same, and the people are very happy as long as they have a mouthful of food to eat. It can only be said that the people are suffering, and the country has to think of a way, but when the people can live and will not riot, the above has to turn a blind eye. Just like this salt business, don't magnify it too much......" Speaking of this, the man sighed slightly, and continued: "Shituo, look at this Qiongzhou again, how does it compare with Dali?" ”

Although Qiongzhou is not big, it is located on the edge of Chengdu Prefecture, so it is still very prosperous, it is a small area of a state, only the household register has reached more than 60,000 households, of course, it is much more prosperous than most areas of Dali.

The man continued: "In short, compared with Dali, one is direct and the other is indirect. Or rather, one is a hypocrite and the other is a real villain, both of which are similar in nature. However, the difference is on top. ”

"Above?"

"There are three things, one is that compared with Dali, the civilization of the Great Song Dynasty is more developed. The second is that the power of the Great Song Dynasty is more concentrated, unlike Dali, first the Duan clan is in civil strife, and then the Gao family controls the government, and the state decrees are divided, and the decrees will not be accessible. Third, compared with the Duan family, several generations of officials in the Great Song Dynasty have paid more attention to the people's livelihood, although the officials below are good and bad, but attaching importance to the people's livelihood is the most important core of the Great Song Dynasty, and most officials dare not go too far. With this premise, although there are problems in all aspects, the people will not be too miserable even if they are suffering. So the situation you see arises, although some strange things have happened in Bashu and Qiongzhou, which are incomprehensible, but they are more prosperous than Dali. This is the Qiongzhou area, and further on, to the Chengdu area, the situation will be better. ”

The man named Shituo scratched his head and said, "In this way, it seems that there are two worlds......

The previous Dahan said: "No, they are two different worlds. ”

When he speaks of different worlds, the meaning is very deep.

Li Laohan is a small businessman after all, and he has a little knowledge, so when he heard this, he asked: "May I ask a few Lang Jun, what do you do?" ”

The two people who spoke, one was the northern accent, the other was the accent of Dali, I don't know how they were twisted together, they might say these words, it's not simple, it's not simple! (To be continued......)
