Chapter 1,646 Everything is ready

There were no major events in the Liao Kingdom. In terms of personnel, Xiao Tuohui, who had the right to stay in Tokyo, was deployed in the Khitan palace.

In May of the Liao Dynasty, a fire broke out and burned down the Duangong Palace Gate.

Yelu Hongji's hands seemed to be a little looser, and he ordered the poor people in Weizhou to farm cattle and cloth.

In June, Jihai, in a place called Taipaoling, someone got an ancient tripod with the inscription "Long live forever" and dedicated it to Yelu Hongji.

Yelu Hongji was overjoyed and ordered the whole world to rejoice and to have 360,000 fasting monks.

…

When they returned to Daming Mansion, the new scholars' observation of government had ended. Gao Taotao was invited by the eldest princess of Xu State to release Wang Yanbi, allowing him to return to Su You and continue to serve as the secretary of the shogunate.

Buy one get one free, Wang Hui became Su Youbai's aide.

Chen Wu was detained by Gao Taotao in the weapons supervision department, and he was engaged in the research and development of his weapons.

Bian Guan's appointment caused a bit of a stir. Gao Taotao originally wanted him to stay as a general as a prisoner, but Liu Zhengfu's last chapter was not the way to cultivate talents. According to the imperial examination practice, the top three generals were generally sentenced to prison, and the military

After that, the organ supervisor will be sent out to serve as an official to familiarize himself with the common government and consider whether it is possible.

Chen Wu and Su Yi had been in charge of the two supervisors for many years because of their kindness. It was no longer necessary to cite the past. If the court valued them, they could easily enter the Imperial Academy and Tsinghua University to practice literary skills;

In the end, Gao Taotao left the well-behaved Chen Wu and put the mischievous colander outside, which was a compromise.

Lu Dafang was in charge and arranged for Colander to be the magistrate of Panyu County in Guangzhou.

The court suddenly became upset, and everyone criticized Lu Dafang for retaliating.

In the previous chapter, Zhang Dun, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, impeached Lu Dafang for letting others go for personal gain, being jealous of virtuous ministers, and mishandling him.

Guangzhou is quite miserable now, otherwise Nong Zhigao would not have beaten him to the city gates back then.

In the philosophy of the Song people, anything outside Lingnan was considered a place of exile, such as Guangzhou, which was indeed too much.

However, officials such as Liu Zhengfu and Kong Wenzhong did not make a fuss. Liu Zhengfu believed that there was nothing wrong with Lu Dafang's appointment. When did it become the turn of the scholar-bureaucrats to be picky about the court's appointments? Is Guangzhou not the land of the Song Dynasty?

Gao Taotao waited for a long time but there was no news from the Yushitai. Zhang Dun was the Minister of Zhongshu. Although he also had the right to discuss, the process could not be started, so he could not reject the resolution of the three provinces.

In fact, Colander is quite excited about this appointment. Guangzhou is not much better than his father's Kuizhou, and Panyu is probably even worse. The mountain is high and the servant is far away, so he can show off his talents.

So in the last chapter, there is nothing wrong with Panyu, I want to go!

In the end, Gao Taotao had no choice but to promote Colander to the rank of General Magistrate of Guangzhou on the grounds that he had some kindness.

Su You read the family letters and the court newspaper, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm afraid I may have fallen into Erlang's fancy this time..."

In Guimao, Su Shi arrived outside the capital and said: "The counties in western Zhejiang have suffered from disasters for two years, and the floods this year are especially serious. Suzhou and Hangzhou still need relief, which requires one million stones of rice and two hundred thousand dollars."

Some censors impeached Su Shi, who believed that Su Shi was greedy for merit and delayed his departure until the Grand Canal was repaired.

In the past, the imperial court vigorously provided disaster relief and allocated a large amount of money and food. Su Shi used work in exchange for relief, dredging the West Lake and building canals.

If relief is still needed, then the cost of building the river was not distributed to the people?

There was also Dasu who built a grain processing factory on Liangzhe Road and forcibly sold noodles that northerners didn't like to eat to the court for tax deductions. This was a detriment to the court and a favor to oneself, so it should be punished.

Zhejiang, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Taihu were the capitals of the imperial court. Su Shi had been tolerant for two years in Hangzhou, and before leaving office, he wanted to cheat the imperial court. Are all the princes in the imperial court fools?

Su Shi sailed to Chenliu and heard about the impeachment in the imperial court. He stopped the boat to wait for help and did not dare to enter the capital.

After finishing the lecture one day, Fan Zuyu packed up the lecture notes and heard Gao Tao ask: "What does the minister think of Da Su?"

Fan Zuyu put down the lecture notes, bowed and said: "From what I can see, Master's governance in Hangzhou is indeed a bit too lenient."

"Suzhou and Hangzhou were hit by disasters one after another, but after the Master raised funds for disaster relief in various ways, provided work for relief, and built a flour mill, although the annual income of the imperial court has decreased in the two Zhejiang provinces, the people have indeed made profits and settled down."

"But there are also problems in Suzhou and Hangzhou, which is that Hangzhou is a place where fifth-class households once completely disappeared, and it is rated as the 'best district' in the world."

"In order to save the 'face' of the Song Dynasty, local officials still refused to downgrade the people who should have been downgraded after the disaster, resulting in no income but the same taxes."

"Although it was caused by a natural disaster, it was ultimately a disaster of governance. When Master arrived in Hangzhou, he first stopped this phenomenon. The first thing he did was to log in again and seek truth from facts."

"The fifth-class households are in real need of treatment. These millions of stones, grains, rice, and two hundred thousand yuan of money should be provided for the future fifth-class households."

"The Master is afraid that the imperial court will ignore the fact that the lower classes are returning to poverty again in Hangzhou, and only care about face and reputation. If he explicitly mentions it in the memorial, I am afraid that not only will the imperial court not agree, but it will cause even greater troubles, so he pretends to

In the name of relief."

"You must know that before the five-level reorganization was made, not only the court but also the local people and gentry in Hangzhou were in constant opposition."

"Many people even declared that they would rather starve to death than be demoted, receive relief food, or embarrass Hangzhou and the Song Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, the people of Hangzhou are good people, but it is impossible for me to let their tempers run wild."

Gao Taotao took a long breath, with tears in his eyes: "The only person in the court who can explain this to my ancestors and grandson is Situ. And because the matter involved Su Shi, Situ didn't dare to defend himself, so no one came to see him.

I already know it now, but if something like this happens again, I still need to tell you everything I know."

In Ji Mao, the imperial edict granted Su Shi one million dan of rice and two hundred thousand taels of money to provide relief to Hangzhou, and ordered Su Shi to take office in Beijing.

Ji You, revised "Shen Zong's Precious Instructions".

Shen Kuo of Hedong Road reported that in the first half of the sixth year of Yuanyou, Hedong Road Copper Smelting obtained a total of 7 million guan of copper and alumina, half of which was lost to the imperial court. The local government also received 3.5 million guan. Please set up steelmaking in Jinzhou Aluminum Affairs Bureau.

Factory to prepare rails for railways.

Shen Kuo's political achievements in this report can be regarded as a steal. Many of the copper and alum in it were not dug out at all, but made.

People in the Song Dynasty valued the crystalline properties of alum, and would pile up "alum mountains" as decorations on banquets.

But once the crystal water in the alum is lost, the alum turns into salt, and the price plummets.

Shen Kuo collected the worthless dehydrated mineral salts in the library, blended them into the water, removed impurities, and then increased the concentration by heating and evaporation, allowing the mineral salts to recrystallize into alum sand.

This kind of alum sand has no impurities at all, is crystal clear, and is of top quality. The value of worthless things has been increased several times by this treatment.

To put it bluntly, it's just dissolving and boiling, it's just a waste of time.

Guichou and Su You wrote that the Fourth Road is fully prepared and is about to embark on the fast lane of development. The Fourth Road Development Bank has issued a cumulative investment of 18 million Guan, with an output of nearly 8 million Guan. The tax ratio of the Four Road is

It doubled last year, coal tripled, salt quadrupled, iron doubled, and the remaining gold, silver, and copper were all more than doubled.

The grain reserve is 12 million dan, in addition to 3 million dan of cotton, 5 million dan of oil, and an additional 300,000 large private livestock.

Seventy cement plants, fifty-two machinery plants, and three salt chemical plants were built in various places.

Damingfu Arsenal and Qizhou Arsenal already have the ability to produce all types of custom-made Song Dynasty cannons, muskets, ammunition, and mines. Dingzhou Arsenal already has the capabilities of ammunition reassembly, gun repair, and artillery assembly.

From last year to now, the Fourth Army has mobilized a total of 2.6 million people to work for a day, and 30,000 people have been separated from the fields to make a living by participating in the service throughout the year. All services have been paid a service fee of 520,000 guan, and they have exercised

Established fifteen dedicated engineering teams.

Factories and mines in various places have a workforce of 80,000 people, with a total labor cost of 2 million guan, reaching a per capita monthly income of 2 guan.

It may not seem high, but this is equivalent to the harvest of thirty acres of land for each of these people, which is equivalent to the increase of three million acres of land in the Hebei Fourth Road out of thin air.

The promotion of the grain, cotton and oil intercropping model has increased the value of land yield per mu by 50%. Although it is only popular on Damingfu Road now, it is equivalent to adding hundreds of thousands of hectares of land to the local area.

In order to encourage farming, Damingfu Road only adjusted the tax to three dou per mu, which seemed to be an increase, but in fact the tax rate was reduced to one tax per 15, which allowed more wealth to be accumulated locally and promoted the prosperity of commerce.

Because transportation has been greatly improved, Hebei's economic links have been completely opened up, and commercial taxes have shown gratifying growth, also nearly doubling.

The most critical ones are Yinhu and Yintian. Yinhu, Hebei Province, was once the most serious area in the world.

After Su You's sorting out, the need for the existence of hidden houses and hidden fields in Hebei's Fourth Road has disappeared. Coupled with the powerful propaganda and statistics, in the past two years, the Fourth Road has expanded a total of 200,000 households, more than one million people, and more than ten people.

Thousands of hectares of land.
