Chapter 824 The Imperial Front Meeting (2)(2/3)
"It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty!"
"What's more, he is in Jiaozhi, who is loyal and loyal to me and serves me with all his might... he is my loyal minister!"
One million stones of tribute rice every year, and another million stones are bought with the Song Dynasty.
Two million stones of rice!
Even Jiaozhi rice can be ripe three times a year and has dense water networks, making it very suitable for rice production.
But in this Middle Ages, these two million stones of rice were still an unimaginable number.
Even if the Song Dynasty allowed the Jiaozhi Kingdom to be delivered in batches and multiple times in a year.
However, if Li Taide didn't cut out the last grain of rice from the farmers and the government's warehouses in Jiaozhi, it would be difficult for him to do this.
From this, you can see how terrible the comprador is!
They will not regard the common people under their rule as human beings.
Because their power does not come from their own country.
But it is given by his master who supports him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu sneered: "No matter how cruel Li Taide is, his grand ceremony has never been lost!"
"After you go back, remember to praise him for his loyalty in the Bianjing Yishu!"
For Zhao Xu, this is really the case.
No matter how Li Taide is, he is also a loyal and loyal minister.
The ministers listened and looked at each other.
At this time, Shen Kuo quietly came out and said, "Your Majesty's teachings are like morning bells and evening drums, which will make people feel relieved..."
"only……"
"I am worried..." He lowered his head and said, "Taide has been plundering people's food in Jiaozhi for a long time..."
"Jiaozhi may be in chaos..."
Zhao Xu listened and smiled.
Shen Kuo's worries are naturally very reasonable.
When Li Taide acted in Jiaozhi, he would sooner or later become angry and resentful, causing an uprising.
Once an uprising breaks out, Li Taide's rule may collapse quickly under the support of the people.
but……
This is based on the absence of interference from major powers outside the region and the participation of powerful powers.
Once there is...
Then please refer to those examples of benevolent and monarchs in modern Africa.
With Amin's cruelty, Bokasa's burning books and burying scholars, and Mobotto's rebellious actions, he could still enjoy the country for more than ten years, or even decades, and all of them could end up well.
Not to mention others.
Although there are no machine guns and aircraft cannons yet, the intervention and deterrence of extraterritorial powers will be greatly reduced.
But the problem is that Jiaozhi people don’t have AK and 106 now! They don’t have modern ideological armings!
So, both sides leveled.
Under such circumstances, as long as the Song Dynasty can provide sufficiently strong support to Li Taide's regime.
Then, the so-called peasant uprisings and rebellions in Jiaozhi...
It can be extinguished in an instant!
A flesh and blood body can never beat steel after all!
Just so happens that there is a shortage of labor in the sugarcane gardens in Jiaozhou.
So, the Jiaozhi Uprising, the Song Dynasty intervened, the chieftains sent troops to suppress the government and then captured all the prisoners to plant sugarcane...
Closed loop! Family members!
Moreover, Zhao Xu felt that there might not be any need for the intervention of the Song Dynasty.
As long as people teach Li Taide more of his rule skills and knowledge.
For example, the first army... For example, every time you take action, red envelopes will be sent to the big soldiers at the grassroots level!
Even a man can get a military pay of three months or half a year at a time!
As for the officers?
Everyone has a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, and a tall house and a big house.
As long as Li Taide can hold the handle of the knife, will the peasant uprising?
Isn't it just a mob?
Of course...
Shen Kuo and others don’t understand these.
Zhao Xu would not tell them, so as not to learn bad things.
So, after laughing, Zhao Xu just said mysteriously: "Don't worry about this!"
"I have made careful arrangements and arrangements to ensure that even if Jiaozhi is in chaos, I can still suppress it calmly!"
"The left and right is just a small country with a household registration of only hundreds of thousands..."
Listening to Zhao Xu's words, looking at his expression, the ministers looked at each other.
They had no objection at all.
This is because their moral level is very flexible.
It is also because, so far, Zhao Xu has not made any judgment mistakes in similar matters.
Since he decided to send troops to the south, he has been using eloquent facts to prove that his judgment on the international situation and military is very accurate!
And success is enough to convince people!
So, the ministers bowed and agreed, and after they returned, they wrote articles to the Bianjing Yibao, which was a slander for Li Taide.
Zhao Xu was very happy, so he gave guidance on their way and method of cleaning the floor.
I heard that these ministers were brilliant, but they never thought that there were so many tricky ways to clean the floor from the perspective of them.
If Zhao Xu's approach is followed, let alone Li Taide.
I'm afraid even Shi Jingtang has to be washed away!
...
After discussing Jiaozhi's affairs, Zhao Xu discussed with these close ministers, discussed their respective responsibilities, and listened to their reports.
The focus is on the production, research and development work of the specialized military weapon manufacturing bureau, as well as the training and recruitment of the first general of the Dragon Commander Di Yong.
Zhao Xu had nothing to say about the specializing in the military weapon manufacturing bureau.
Leave professional things to professionals, and they only need results!
Therefore, he tried his best to meet the difficulties and financial needs raised by Shen Kuo!
He also gave Shen Kuo another letter of empty name.
He was allowed to take it back, write a name on it, use it as a reward, and inspire craftsmen who specialize in the manufacturing of military weapons bureaus.
Of course, the official positions granted by these letters are basically all skilled officials.
There are only eight empty names, and they are not up to the level of civil and military officers.
However, this is still something that the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty dared not think about in the past.
With these fifty empty letters, these people are enough to work hard for Zhao Xu's career day and night.
As for the first general of the Dragon Controller under Commander Di Yong?
There is nothing to say about this!
Zhao Xu, who has studied in modern times, knows the importance of a knife handle.
Therefore, he attached great importance to the number one general of the Dragon, the only field force with combat effectiveness among the three imperial guards of Bianjing yamen, and was willing to spend money!
He really did give rewards to the chefs who were the first general of the Dragon!
Moreover, it was not passed by Di Yong.
Instead, Liu Weijian took Feng Jing over and sent Jiaozi to the hands of every big-headed soldier.
Therefore, the content of Di Yong's report is only training, military discipline and the most important recruitment.
Zhao Xu naturally made a reply to these things that he understood.
Training must be carried out quickly, and military discipline must be carried out even more strictly!
To be continued...
