Chapter 532 The Military Strategist (Part 2)
With Li Jilong's death, Song Jiu may also retire soon. It should be said that Zhao Heng was very suspicious, but if Song Jiu didn't go on for a long time, it would cause trouble for others. After all, the credit was too great, and he was there, and the others were overshadowed together.
Moreover, Song Jiu has no ambition.
Once the Northeast is laid, it will undoubtedly retreat.
These two pillars left the north, and there would be no important officials in the north. Lu Yijian and others were not good at it. They had little experience and low reputation, so they could not intimidate the north.
However, the north is so complex and so vast. Not to mention anything else, there are the three prefectures of Liaodong. Although the northern Shiwei did not directly manage it, it extends eastward to the coast and northeast to the estuary of the Huntong River. The actual area is far greater than that of the three eastern provinces in later generations. Moreover, there is also the Yanyun area and the Zhongjing Shangjing area. This area alone exceeds more than half of the original Song Dynasty territory.
Let’s not talk about the larger restricted areas.
Even some of the Apostles on Sakhalin Island sent envoys to express their sincerity. Of course, that was even more of a joke.
Therefore, there must be important officials in charge.
Zhang Qixian is not a good person. He must have qualifications and reputation, and secondly, he must have both civil and military achievements. Who else can he have besides himself?
So Zhang Qixian went to Yunzhong first and took care of Yunzhong Road.
In addition, Bi Shi'an passed away, there was only one real boss in the court, that was Kou Zhun.
There is no doubt that he became the first prime minister.
If it weren't for Kou Zhun's character flaw, his career would be extremely open.
If Wang Qin was not happy, he was not happy to Song Jiu, because Song Jiu did not tell the truth. He made him feel embarrassed and there were more reasons for his unhappiness with Kou Zhun. Kou Zhun looked at people in the south, his character, his obedience, and his obedience... He could list dozens of reasons.
There is not a big conflict between Song Jiu and Wang Qinruo, and it is not on the same level. Besides, Song Jiu is about to retreat, so how dare Wang Qinruo offend deeper?
There is not much conflict between Song Jiu and Kou Zhun. These two people will definitely have various conflicts due to their personality problems. However, Song Jiu did not suggest that Kou Zhun should not be used. On the contrary, they have been promoting since the beginning and have preserved Kou Zhun many times in secret. Kou Zhun is not a fool. Although he often disagrees with Song Jiu, the conflict can always be restrained. Therefore, the two people have disagreements on the table, which cannot be regarded as a dispute between gentlemen, but it cannot be regarded as a dispute between villains.
However, Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo both wanted to kill each other.
However, Wang Qinruo is still Kou Zhun's opponent at the moment.
And before Zhao Heng left the north, Song Jiu once again talked about Kou Zhun's purpose.
Kou Zhun also made contributions to the establishment of the crown prince back then.
Zhao Heng is a person who remembers kindness.
Liu E also remembered that year. Song Jiu said he was waiting for someone, and this person was Kou Zhun.
Therefore, Kou Zhun was the prime minister for several years.
However, at this time, Kou Zhun's personality defects broke out again.
When Guo passed away, Zhao Heng wanted to make Liu E the queen and Kou Zhun the prime minister. So he called him into the palace for discussion.
This time, the hornet's nest was poked.
Kou Zhun even looked down on the southerners, let alone Liu E. Not only did he object on the spot, but he also made a big fuss with his ministers after leaving the palace and said a lot of unpleasant words from Liu E.
This way, Liu E will definitely not be the queen now.
Moreover, Kou Zhun was hype and said it was unpleasant, and Liu E finally reversed her impression of Kou Zhun, from liking to disgust.
There is another thing ahead. During the Zhao Kuangyi dynasty, Kou Zhun presided over an imperial examination, provincial examination, palace examination, and palace examination were the final rankings. Zhao Kuangyi designated Chengdu sir Chen Yaosou as the top scorer. As a result, when Kou Zhun wrote the list, he saw that Chen Yaosou was from Sichuan, and was unhappy. So he replaced the top scorer with the glue sir Cai Qi without Zhao Kuangyi's consent, and Chen Yaosou was replaced with Tanhua.
Fortunately, Zhao Kuangyi noticed it in time and corrected it again. Zhao Kuangyi laughed it off at that time, but he was a little unhappy. He thought Kou Zhun was stubborn and brave, and dared to be careless of the king's control.
Zhao Heng also heard about this, so his views on Kou Zhun were always covered with a shadow.
There were also ministers such as Wang Qinruo who had offended Kou Zhun, so they pushed them together. Kou Zhun was not the Great Wall in the end, so everyone pushed them together and went down.
...
The Emperor Xianping combined with the number of households in Liao Kingdom obtained and some hidden households found in the provenance of origin, the number of households in the Song Dynasty finally reached the 10 million households.
This household exceeded the number of households during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. However, there were more hidden households in the Tang Dynasty, so the actual population had not reached the number of people during the Tianbao period, and the population density was not as high as that during the Tianbao period.
But it's almost over.
However, unlike the Tang Dynasty, the earliest development was Jinghu. Song Jiu inspected and led by Pan Mei. However, the poor people and finances were not very large. Therefore, the time Song Jiu was in Guangdong and Guangxi was the real big development.
This development has continued until now, and even the eastern region is almost approaching the level of the middle Qing Dynasty. Within at least a few decades, there will be no population pressure, which has also led to some people from Fujian Road and Jiangnan West Road influx into Guangnan one after another.
The most population pressure is Fujian Road, with many people, many mountains and few fields, and temples account for a large proportion of fertile land. However, with the development of business, especially the development of maritime commerce, more people are doing business, and some people leave their homes and head to Nanyang, which somewhat alleviates some of the pressure.
The high population density and the first treasury of the Song Dynasty, Jiangdong Liangzhe, was also the first treasury in the Song Dynasty. Because the surround fields and polder fields were developed in advance, the pressure of population growth was also alleviated.
Bashu is in chaos and chaos, and it is almost depressed. There is no population pressure in Guanzhong area. However, there is some population pressure, but it is so far from Liaodong...
The population density in the southeastern part of Hebei is also relatively high. However, due to the demise of the Liao Kingdom, all the areas on the southern side of the Juma River were moved out and they could be officially cultivated. Moreover, there is still more than 100,000 square kilometers of Yanyun-Chongqing area. Because the Song Dynasty captured and migrated people, the southern part was also empty, who would like to go to Liaodong?
In this way, the country will not experience greater population pressure within these ten years, or even twenty years.
It's a good thing, but Song Jiu felt a little miserable in the Northeast.
Song Jiu used many tricks to promote rice cultivation, which led to the entire Youzhou Road rice planting area in Jingde that reached more than 30,000 hectares in four years. Most people still use backward methods to plant, which is not something that can be solved overnight.
However, the rice harvest alone may be close to the size of seven million stones. Besides, there are various crops of beans, millet and wheat. How many people can there be? Where can I finish eating it? So the rice price once fell to a point where a bucket of rice was only twenty cents. As for millet, go feed the pigs.
The worst thing is that the scale of rice planting may further expand next year.
