Chapter 1031 What needs to be done to stabilize the North Shaanxi Road
Chapter 1031
"Now, there is really not enough service. My nephew has specially drawn 5,000 troops from the wing army, and hundreds of vehicles are specially used as escort teams." Wang Yang sighed. This is definitely a happy trouble for him.
"I will feel much more at ease when I hear you say this. When I return to Tokyo Bianliang from here and wait for Liu Zhi to come here, I am afraid it will take almost two months. This time should be enough for you to do anything." When I said this, Su Dongpo couldn't help but smile.
"After that, I can only rely on you. I am far away from Tokyo Bianliang, and I have no say in Shaanxi Road..."
"Uncle, you have helped me too much. This time I go back to Tokyo Bianliang, and I should have a good rest. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to walk with you, otherwise..." Wang Yang smashed his mouth, his eyes full of burning fighting spirit.
"I believe it will be very interesting if you can advance and retreat together with you in the Communist Party of China."
Su Dongpo smashed his mouth and thought that if he was with Wang Yang in the court, well, it seemed like he was talking to this guy, the court would definitely be very lively.
"You think beautifully, but unfortunately, you think too beautifully. You, at least you have to count..." Su Dongpo raised five fingers, but after thinking about it, he took back two fingers.
"Three years?" Wang Yang was slightly stunned. Although the old driver Su Dongpo was a bit unreliable, he was still very reliable when talking about serious business. Since he dared to say three years, he believed that time would not be too different.
This made Wang Yang subconsciously touch his chin and carefully calculate it. "If it was only three years, then my nephew would have to hurry up."
"Why, why do you want to seize the time? Do you still want to make some more troubles in the past three years?"
"How can I do it? I'm not that kind of person." Wang Yang smiled honestly, just like a honest old farmer.
Su Dongpo also laughed, but he smiled with extraordinary contempt. "You are the kind of person, don't think I'm so fooling."
"I have always regarded you as an idol of learning. How could I fool you? But since I am hosting Shaanxi North Road, located at the junction of Xia and Liao, if you want to make Shaanxi North Road stable, you have to do something..."
"This is really reasonable. Now, the Liao Kingdom has heavily troops stationed in Hedong Road, and the territory of Western Xia has been divided by our Song Dynasty and Northern Liao. Only the area of Xingqing Prefecture and the west side of Hetao are left. With the nature of the Dangxiang people, they will definitely not give up." Su Dongpo nodded deeply with consent.
"And Northern Liao, haha, the emperor of Northern Liao was good at chanting poems and hunting, but when it comes to governing the country and ensuring the people, he would probably be even worse than the officials in charge of a county."
"If the Liao Kingdom had not had strong capital and vast territory, how could it have supported it to this day..."
Listening to Wang Yang's explanation and thoughts before, Su Dongpo gradually understood Wang Yang's thoughts. Yes, over the years of the Song Dynasty, the annual military expenditure in the Shaanxi Road area has been a very terrible amount.
Because there are wars with Xixia all year round, whenever the war occurs, hundreds of thousands or millions of military expenditures are like a waste of water, and they will be gone if they are thrown away.
In the past century, the additional military expenditure on Shaanxi Road has been close to one million every year due to war. It has also caused the entire Shaanxi North Road area to be full of war, withering all industries and displaced people.
Especially in the various states bordering the Western Xia, it was normal to have a hundred miles of deserted people. It was not until the Song Dynasty seized the land of Yan, You and Hong and placed the front line in front of it that it was a little better.
Now that the establishment of Shaanxi North Road has been completed, a large number of people fled to the middle of Shaanxi Road, and the people in the southern region have begun to flow back.
But the problem is that most of the scattered people, their lands are either barren or occupied. Fortunately, Wang Yang came, and a bank agricultural loan migrated the people, finally solving the big problem of the states in the northern Shaanxi Road.
Now, many people left their hometowns and scattered in the middle of Shaanxi Road. Under the vigorous publicity of Shaanxi North Road's strategy, the people in the southern region began to rise to a wave of returnees, but they did not return to their hometowns, but headed towards Shaanxi North Road.
After all, the victory of the Song Dynasty over the past few years has not only caused a sensation in the entire Song Dynasty, but also brought confidence and hope to the people at the bottom.
Coupled with the official propaganda policy, even if it is half-believing and half-doubted, in order to live a better life, many people still took their families and took vehicles to Shaanxi North Road, and followed the straight and smooth cement straight road to Shaanxi North Road.
Nowadays, whether it is the ordinary people in the fields and the countryside, the vendors and barons parading alleys, or the important officials of the Song Dynasty who were high above the temple, they all have to admit it.
Cement straight roads bring not only smooth and convenient roads, but more importantly, this cement straight road that only requires a small number of people to maintain and is not afraid of flooding and flooding, not only brings great convenience to the people.
Even the large-scale military mobilization of the Song Dynasty was able to obtain unprecedented mobility with the help of cement straight roads.
In the past, it would take at least nearly fifteen days for ten thousand people to travel from Chang'an Prefecture to Huanzhou. And if it encounters rain and snow, haha, this time will be at least five more days.
But now, the straight and wide road is no longer as winding as before, but in many places where it encounters mountains and bridges, the road is shorter than before.
Moreover, the cement straight road separated by stones in the middle is spacious even if ten soldiers walk side by side. Moreover, this is just one road and will not affect the passage of carriages and pedestrians traveling opposite.
Some time ago, Su Dongpo conducted a special experiment, leaving one thousand imperial guards to set off from Chang'an Prefecture in the wind and snow, transporting 200 trucks of cement to Huanzhou, which only took nine days.
In addition, in the past, when we went from Chang'an Prefecture to Tokyo Bianliang, this road was often damaged due to the frequent traffic and horses. It had to be dispatched to provide labor and maintenance almost every year. Since it was paved into a cement straight road, the road surface has been greatly widened and no longer as congested as before.
Naturally, the traffic seemed much smoother, and the people praised this most important main road intersection of the Song Dynasty.
Nowadays, if we compare the smoothness of road traffic alone, the traffic on Shaanxi Road and Shaanxi North Road has been higher than that of several levels.
In the past, the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty had to rush to Shaanxi Road in this way, even if they were rushing all the way, it would take a month or ten days.
