In the final analysis, the main reason why Dajing was able to support such a large-scale operation was that it had money and grain. In terms of grain and grass, the land distribution policy adopted by the Jingguo meant that there were no officials or gentry who refused to pay for grain. All the people of Dajing had to pay for grain, and the people This kind of food payment is called Jiaohuangliang.
Due to the division of land according to the head of the population, the population of Jingguo increased greatly in a short period of time, and more grain was handed over, which made the large grain storage households in Dajing full of grain and grass. After the war broke out, grain and grass in various places were pulled from the granaries of large grain storage households. To support the battle, Zhang Xiu dared to use more than 300,000 troops at a time.
Money wise.
On the eve of the outbreak of this war, Zhang Xiu promoted the Dajing Minbao across the country, allowing wealthy households to hand over all their gold and silver deposits to the state, and the state would pay a certain amount of interest based on the number of years; at the beginning, with the joint promotion of several large households, the Dajing Minbao After being successfully applied, with the development in recent years, businessmen and large households from all over the world have become inseparable from Dajing Minchao.
Dajing's prestige and credibility skyrocketed, and the inventories of every household changed from gold and silver to Dajing civilian banknotes.
With the gold and silver returned to the country, Zhang Xiu would have enough money for various operations. The first was the construction of Jingjing. It was naturally a great capital that would be inherited for thousands of years. Naturally, it could not be sketchy and simple, it must be majestic, majestic and majestic.
This aspect is left to the people at the Ministry of Industry.
Then there is the promotion of the development of Zangzhou, Yizhou, and Beizhou. Zangzhou is high in the mountains and far away. Although prefectural governance has been established, the sense of belonging is not very strong. Only by connecting the two places and strengthening management can the people of Zangzhou have a strong relationship with each other. To have a sense of belonging in Dajing, the best and most long-term way is cultural education.
The power of culture cannot be underestimated. In the long run, the power of Wenyuan is far greater than force.
With the money, Zhang Xiu ordered the establishment of schools throughout Zangzhou. Every year, the outstanding candidates in the townships and counties could be promoted to local officials.
There is also Jingzhou, which was just conquered this year.
The Shiwan Mountains in the south of Jingzhou are populated by foreign races, and the cultures of each race are different and very different. When Liu Bei was in charge of Jingzhou, he was unable to manage it in depth, as long as they did not rebel, but Zhang Xiu's attitude towards foreigners Different, he has the advanced ideas of later generations and a sense of cultural belonging to a large family and a family. He believes that although these people are aliens, they are also an integral part of this land.
After Jingzhou was transferred to Dajing, the first thing Zhang Xiu thought of was these people in the deep mountains and old forests.
Guiyang is still in the hands of Liu Bei and cannot be controlled, but in other places, Zhang Xiu is ready to dig mountains and open roads to connect the people inside with the outside world, promote the economic development of all ethnic groups in various places, and promote the livelihood of people everywhere.
"Cai Hao has already reported to me the matter in Kyoto," Zhang Xiu nodded, "The war has just been settled now, so it is not appropriate to start a big war. The matter of moving the capital should be postponed to the year after next. This year is the tenth year of Jianlong. Four years, let the whole country rest for one year, and in the 16th year of Jianlong, choose a date, and it will not be too late to move again."
The three-phase nod is symmetrical.
Zhang Xiu fiddled with the information sent by Gan Ning. It was written about the aliens in the south of Jingzhou. The southern region was deep in the mountains and old forests, completely surrounded by mountains. There was simply no way to go, let alone find those aliens in the vast mountains. .
He pointed at Gan Ning's information: "This is the information Gan Ning sent, take a look!"
Su Jin quickly took the information with both hands and handed it to Jia Xu first.
After a while, Jia Xu read it and handed it to Liu Ye, and finally Li Ru.
After the three people read it quickly, they all fell silent, and their brains were rapidly thinking about corresponding countermeasures, predicting the questions the emperor would ask next, and how they should answer them.
After a while, Zhang Xiu said, "Mr. Jia, tell me, how should we deal with the matter in Jingnan?"
Jia Xu prepared the manuscript and spoke slowly: "To return to the emperor, the land of Jingnan is called the Hundred Thousand Mountains because of its continuous mountains and overlapping peaks. , actually means 'mountain that tops the sky'; if you want to break the mountain that tops the sky, I'm afraid it won't be easy. It can easily attract millions of people and tens of millions of money, and it will take a few years!"
The meaning of these words is very obvious. Although they are not stated directly, every sentence is meant to persuade.
After all, foreigners are a minority, and they are still in the mountains. There is no need to waste people and money to clear the way for foreigners. Besides, the population of foreigners is too small to bring actual economic benefits to Dajing.
Zhang Xiu lowered his head and said nothing.
Jia Xu quickly glanced at Li Ru next to him.
Li Ru bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Jia said is absolutely true. The war will be decided before the war. The people of the Central Plains were suffering from the yellow disaster in the past and the war in the future. The people are in dire straits and urgently need to recuperate. The emperor's benevolence for the people is known to the world. , but after the economy of the Central Plains recovers, it will not be too late to start planning for Jingnan."
Liu Ye also agreed: "There are many foreign ethnic groups in Zangzhou, Beizhou, Jingnan, and Shuzhong. We, Dajing, have always had a friendly attitude toward foreign ethnic groups, open policies, and provided preferential benefits, which have made all ethnic groups return home; but the situation in Jingnan If it is special, we must take a long-term approach and go to the emperor for detailed investigation."
"Well……"
Zhang Xiu held the jade string of Buddha beads offered at the White Horse Temple in his heart. He stood up and walked around the temple: "What the three of you said are all old talk about seeking a country. I am a little impatient. Let's wait until the economy of the Central Plains recovers before we talk about Jing Dynasty." The matter in the south, but... although this matter has been postponed, we must be prepared and ask Kuai Yue to find some local people, find a small road that can go deep into Shiwan Mountain, and send envoys in to strengthen communication between the two parties first."
"Here!"
After convincing the emperor, the voices of the three of them became louder.
After discussing the matter of Jingnan and Kyoto, the three elders left. Zhang Xiu stretched his waist and felt a little sleepy. Calculating carefully, it has been twenty years since 196. Zhang Xiu couldn't help but sigh at how fast time has passed. He has not been here this year. Already forty years old.
Just when Zhang Xiu was drowsy, a pair of delicate jade hands gently massaged himself.
The dexterous technique made Zhang Xiu feel relaxed, and he adjusted to a comfortable position, fell asleep soundly, and slept until the afternoon. Su Jin had a good eye to stop the minister's audience, and no one was allowed to disturb him unless it was an urgent military or national matter.
After Zhang Xiu woke up, he looked up and saw Master Bu's beautiful and delicate face.
"How long have I slept?" Zhang Xiu got up and gently squeezed her jade hand, "I don't know how to rest, my hands are all sleepy!"
Trainer Bu sat down next to Zhang Xiu lovingly: "The emperor only slept for an hour; it is my duty to give the emperor a massage to relax him. I am not sleepy."
Zhang Xiu scratched her delicate nose: "Aren't you really sleepy?"
Trainer Bu chuckled and pouted coquettishly: "My wrist is a little sore."
Zhang Xiu rubbed her wrist, and put his other hand into her clothes to gently knead the warm spot, and he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.
