War is never fast. Even a blitzkrieg requires more than ten years of accumulated logistics and strategic layout. In the era of cold weapons, it is impossible to talk about speed.
The points Liang Chuan proposed are not only minor improvements, they are also major projects. The amount of money in Genji's treasury is about the same as that of a middle-class wealthy businessman in Qingyuan. Any more is just to promote her!
Minamoto Yoritomo has her own advantages as a female streamer. She will not be as arbitrary as a man who takes charge of the family. Liang Chuan's words are reasonable. Although it is wasteful, once the investment starts to bear fruit, the income will be much more than it is now.
Take the port construction mentioned by Liang Chuan as an example. Ping was not engaged in production, but every time a war broke out, he always had endless financial support. She was still wondering where the money came from. The only reasonable explanation was the port.
We also have many good ports with good nature, but they have never been developed. Sea-going ships cannot dock and unload cargo. There are also many pirates and insurgents. Many sea-going ships have many accidents when they arrive at the port.
According to Liang Chuan, if he could build a large port for trade with the Southern Song Dynasty, the tax revenue could completely offset the rice field revenue of the entire Guandong Plain.
Moreover, the Song Dynasty also had many advanced weapons and technologies. With this communication platform, its own development would not be comparable to that of the Ping clan.
Island countries are extremely scarce in resources, small in size and prone to disasters. Under such conditions, they can still become a world power, which naturally has their value.
One of the excellent qualities of the island country is to follow the good and learn from others humbly. They will not hesitate to absorb the excellent and advanced places of other nations and use them, turning them into part of their own.
What Liang Chuan said was very pertinent and direct. The warriors and the refugees in the city were his helpers if they benefited well. If he ignored them, they might become his fatal injuries at the critical moment.
She always likes to be clean and tidy, but the whole Kamakura is as dirty and smelly as a cesspit. She also notices it. She never goes out unless it is out of sight, and she has long wanted to clean up this mess.
After all teachers are famous, everything will fall into place.
Minamoto Yoritomo set up several soup kitchens in Kamakura City, providing free gruel to the poor people. Many homeless homeless people were suffering in the cold wind. This bowl of thin and cold rice porridge Gave them hope to live.
A small bowl of porridge made Genji's reputation even more prosperous in this cold winter. The speed at which this news spread was terrifying. There were too many poor people around, and missing a meal was basically the norm for all island country farmers. For a time, a large number of refugees poured into Kamakura Castle.
Genji took advantage of the opportunity of giving porridge to publish notices in the city. Genji recruited a large number of laborers to build the city wall and the city's drainage system. The other part went to Yokohama and Edo Port to build docks.
The work is not for free, and you will be paid according to the payment!
This is really life-saving good news for the people.
In the past, when the famous generals and officials wanted to build cities, they would not pay any compensation. They all used violence to force migrant workers. The farmers could only put down their farm work and succumbed to their violence. When they came back, the land was deserted and they had no money. If you earn it, you can only become a refugee.
Most of the refugees in the city are not lazy, but the city's labor market is so big that society cannot absorb so many workers. On the one hand, Liang Chuan's actions created many labor positions. On the other hand, this is a war. The previous preparations were to win the hearts and minds of the people first in order to compete for the world.
In order to maximize the momentum and effect of these recognitions, Liang Chuan also asked many bards and travelers to go around to promote Genji's righteous deeds to the people. Human lives are worthless in times of war, and Genji's actions are undoubtedly a golden sign.
In just three days, nearly 30,000 migrant workers were mobilized in Kamakura City. They were all refugees who were on the verge of death and on the verge of starvation. Yoritomo Minamoto gave them food and jobs.
The work efficiency of these people is amazing. The city of Kamakura Castle is not very big. This important town in the eastern part of the island country is only slightly larger than Xinghua. In just a few days, the prototype of a moat appeared.
A lot of stones and earth were dug out from the river. These materials were used in the construction of the city wall, and the stones and earth were piled and used to make green bricks.
This is a huge project, and it is not just about digging wherever you like. According to Liang Chuan's idea, the drainage canals on the city must comply with the city's construction plan. If after conquering the world, if we want to use Shanta as our base camp, then what? Can Kamakura be allowed to build indiscriminately?
The best way is to refer to the construction model of Chang'an City. The roads in the city are straight and straight, and various functional areas are set up. Residential areas and businesses are separated from each other for better management.
The drainage system in the city needs to be as large as possible. The water channels must be built to cope with the long-term development of the city. It cannot be enough today to build more houses tomorrow, and then dig them again. This is time-consuming, laborious and impractical.
As for the construction of the port, Liang Chuan is a layman, but the people of the island country are much more professional. They are a nation born towards the sea, and they spend far more time dealing with the sea than with the land.
In the feudal era, the navigation industry has always been an industry that prospered when the rulers paid attention to it, and collapsed when the rulers suppressed it. The cost investment was extremely huge. Although the private sector could develop it, it still couldn't do without the support of the government.
Liang Chuan was talking about general policies and directions, and the specific details naturally came from Yori Chao's group of people to help him plan.
If he had to personally deal with every detail, he would be exhausted.
As soon as Liang Chuan had some free time, he took advantage of the beautiful day with snow falling in the sky to take Ah Gou for a walk on the street.
When people are down and out, they only pay attention to the misfortune in front of them, and they only think about what to eat for the next meal, but never think about whether the snow is beautiful or not.
Only when you are full and warm will you think about lust, and only when you are full and warm will you think about romance.
As a standard southerner, the only time Liang Chuan saw snow was when he was studying in Jinling, but Jinling is also considered the south. South of the Huaihe River and Qinling Mountains is the south. Although it also snowed, the snow was actually small ice crystals. It's not like the winter in the island country, where there's heavy snowfall.
After leaving the city, I was wrapped in a warm coat to keep out the cold. My feet would no longer be bruised and bruised by the cold. Walking in the snow, the two of them looked at each other from time to time. Needless to say, they both recalled coming to Kamakura together. That time.
The world is vast, the sea in the distance is still dark blue, but the mountains and cities are all white.
Ah Gou laughed at herself. She used to worry about whether she would freeze to death in the wild every winter. What she feared most every year was the cold in winter. Every year, many people were killed by the cold.
Liang Chuan held her little hand and laughed at himself. A long time ago, he didn't have enough to eat every day and was shivering from the cold every day. Although he was not as unforgettable as Ah Gou, he is fine now. He will be the only one alive in the future, so you don't have to, Ah Gou. Worry about these things.
Two people were walking outside the city, and suddenly a melodious bell sounded in the distance. Liang Chuan looked up and saw that there was a temple hidden among the snow-covered mountains. In the temple, there was a huge statue of Guanyin Buddha, looking at all living beings compassionately. The direction he was facing was exactly the direction of Kamakura.
"Do you also worship Guanyin Empress here?"
Ah Gou tilted his head and said, "Yes, don't you want to worship me?"
"Let's go to the temple and pay our respects. It's a blessing to have this life back, and it won't be disabled even after death. It's all thanks to the blessings of the Buddha and the empress."
The status of temple monks in the island country is very high. There were many learned monks during the Tang Dynasty. They went to temples all over China to worship teachers and seek Dharma. They spread the Buddhist schools and scriptures from the East to the island country. Many of them He became the master of Buddhism in the island country.
Liang Chuan and his dog slowly walked towards the temple in the direction where the bells came. The road in the mountains was difficult to walk, and it was even slippery under the snow.
At the foot of the mountain is a large forest, which is simple, vigorous and thick. Each tree gives people a feeling of extremely long history. Many trees are also decorated like ribbons, which makes them look even more sacred.
The temple does not have a mountain gate. Their mountain gate has two pillars, like an archway. Liang Chuan has seen many shrines with this shape. This seems to be the most characteristic building of the island country.
The temple was extremely quiet. A thick layer of snow fell on the square in the middle of the temple. It was smooth and smooth without a single footprint. This showed that the temple was not busy.
People in this world will only stay in their own peaceful villages, and no one will wander around in temples.
The two of them did not go directly to the main hall, but first looked at the tall Guanyin statue. There is a lot of snow falling on the Guanyin statue, which makes it even more white and sacred. Just like the Guanyin goddess in the old version of Journey to the West, she is covered with a snow-white Buddhist robe.
This world is unfair. Some poor people are not even qualified to pray to the Buddha to change their destiny, because many temples charge fees.
Liang Chuan liked this kind of quiet environment. There was no utilitarian smell, only piety and compassion.
This temple is not big. The main hall is at the front. There are some sutra pavilions and a square tower at the back. The most eye-catching one is the Guanyin statue.
The dog worships Guanyin, and Liang Chuan looks into the distance with his hands behind his back and his eyes raised.
A voice came slowly from behind.
Liang Chuan turned around and saw that he was an old master with a white beard and eyebrows. His monk's robe was patched, but it was spotless and clean, with only scattered snowflakes falling on his shoulders.
Liang Chuan couldn't understand what he said.
Ah Gou said: "When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, standing at the feet of Changgu Guanyin, you can see the sea from the clear terrace."
Liang Chuan quickly clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully to the master, and said, "That scene must be beautiful."
The monk was obviously wrong, and then he smiled heartily and said, "You are from the Tang Dynasty?"
