Chapter 253: Being an emperor is suffering (2)

Lu Xiufu, who was ranked at the top of the left, came out and bowed, "Your Majesty, now our court has built various government offices in Lei and Qiong. Whether it is agriculture, commerce, education, customs, water conservancy, etc., it is changing with each passing day, far from the previous Lei and Qiong. "

His face was also slightly proud.

In a short period of time, in addition to the chaos in Qiongzhou, Lei and Qiong, the two states had already begun to show a peaceful and prosperous era.

Zhao Dongting nodded when he heard this and asked again: "How is the Finance Department?"

The most needed thing for development and construction is money. He is not worried about other things, but whether the Finance Department can withstand such great pressure. The land division system, the establishment of various prefectures and government agencies, the establishment of school institutions, medical offices, road construction, bridge construction, etc., all require the Finance Department to allocate funds. Although the imperial court brought a lot of treasures from Lin'an, it is also difficult to support the development of Lei and Qiong Prefectures.

Chen Jianghan, Secretary of Finance, walked out of the line, with a slightly bitter face, his eyes kept blinking, and replied: "Report to the Emperor, the Finance Department has established tax departments and money shops in the two prefectures and counties, but... it's just that the national treasury is empty at the moment. The treasures we brought from Lin'an are exhausted. If the people had not cooperated with the tax payment, they would have been unable to support it."

Zhao Dongting rubbed his forehead with some distress, "Oh, I'm going to think of a solution for this."

He had only been the president in his previous life and had no political experience. Although many things can be copied from modern things now, he also felt a headache. The matters in this area are too complicated, and Lu Xiufu and the others didn't understand them at all, so they could only put them all on him, the emperor.

Later, Zhao Dongting asked about the general situation of the other tribes, and hurriedly announced that he would disperse the court and return to the bedroom.

These things really gave him a headache.

When he returned to the bedroom, he slept for dozens of minutes and waited more comfort before getting up. He asked Ying Er to grind the ink and write it on the desk.

He didn't know much about how to handle specific matters, nor did he have so much energy, so he could only build a big prototype and let Lu Xiufu and others implement it.

As I recalled in my mind, Zhao Dongting listed modern administrative agencies and government agencies from the State Council to all levels.

This is naturally complex, and there are as many as hundreds of departments directly under the State Council.

By the time the list was completed, Zhao Dongting had already written it densely on dozens of sheets of paper.

Then, he deleted the departments that are not applicable to the current Song Dynasty one by one.

After doing this, it was already the afternoon meal time.

After using the meals quickly, Zhao Dongting wrote down the functions of each department, and then sent them to the Ministry of State, allowing Lu Xiufu to be fully responsible for supervising.

This was really a brain-consuming task. As soon as he finished it, he lay down on the bed and rested.

The Song Dynasty court was only temporarily living in Leizhou. He not only wanted to improve the central institutions, but also gradually improve the local institutions. This was obviously not something that could be done in a short period of time. Zhao Dongting's idea was to establish all these departments first and then gradually implement their functions.

When I woke up, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon.

He walked to the desk again and wrote down his thoughts on the current development of Lei and Qiong states.

In the year of war, Lei and Qiong Prefectures, as the foundation of the current Southern Song Dynasty, should be the first priority to develop population. In this era, without high technology, everything depends on people, war, construction, agriculture, etc., and population needs to accumulate. Although many refugees from all over the country have moved here after hearing the grand occasion of Leizhou, this is far from reaching Zhao Dongting’s thoughts.

In the previous life, any county had a population of millions. But at this time, the population of the entire Leizhou was only hundreds of thousands.

The land is rare, and this is the current situation of the entire country. Zhao Dongting urgently wants to change this situation.

There are many people, so there is great power.

If Leizhou could have millions of people, it would be the most solid backing of the Southern Song Dynasty. It would be even more difficult for the Yuan Dynasty to swallow up the Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, it also takes time.

What Zhao Dongting wrote can be summarized in several points: encouraging childbirth, recruiting wise men, attaching importance to education, and other departments and departments cooperate with development.

The night was shrouded in unknowingly.

This is the day after this.

After Zhao Dongting finished writing, he carefully checked it twice, and unexpectedly there was any mistake. He asked someone to send it to the Ministry of State and ordered the Ministry of State to implement it as soon as possible.

Ying Er watched Zhao Dongting work hard all day, and her beautiful eyes showed a hint of heartache, and said softly: "Master, I will help you press it?"

Zhao Dongting nodded, sat on the bed, and let Ying'er press his shoulders with gentle force.

This made him feel so comfortable that he almost hummed.

Being an emperor can be considered a burden to do so. Zhao Dongting finally understood why most ancient emperors lived short-lived.

Now it is only Lei Qiong's two states, which has already made him anxious. It is hard to imagine how much he will worry about in the future when the territory grows.

However, as long as the new policies of Lei Qiong and the two states are successfully implemented, they may not be so brain-consuming in the future.

Lu Xiufu's work speed is still very fast.

The next day alone, he had already written the official document and submitted it to Zhao Dongting. After that, he received approval from Zhao Dongting, and sent it to the governor of Leizhou Mu Kangxun and the governor of Qiongzhou Zhao Yuluo.

The State Council is a central agency. Although it is now in charge of Lei and Qiong Prefectures, the specific things have never surpassed the level of the prefecture.

Zhao Dongting finally got a little free.

In the following days, in addition to practicing swords every day and reading books, he visited various departments for inspection.

What he cares about the most is the weapon workshop that has now been renamed the Ministry of Military Industry, and the newly established Military Science and Technology Department affiliated to the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The Military Industry Department is responsible for supervising the construction of weapons, and the Military Science Department is also a gathering of skilled craftsmen to be responsible for researching new weapons.

This is Zhao Dongting's greatest capital and his greatest reliance on resisting Yuan and restoring Song.

What made him a little relieved was that the development and operation of the Ministry of Military Industry and Military Science and Technology were extremely good.

There are already many thermal weapons such as landmines, grenade launchers, artillery shells and other thermal weapons in the Military Industry Department's database, and the Military Science and Technology Department has also developed two new things.

Thunderbolt cannon and dragon gun.

The thunderbolt cannon can be said to be a simplification of the grenade launcher, which is to launch explosives with crossbow-bound firecracker-style dynamite. The technology is simple and can quickly popularize the entire army.

Zhao Dongting knows high-tech technologies such as grenade launchers, but when it comes to studying these things with low technical levels, he is really not as good as those skilled craftsmen in the Military Industry Department.

The Shenlong Gun is also an improved version of the musket. Although its power is definitely not comparable to that of Zhao Dongting's musket, it is much bigger than that of muskets and bows.

This is a hot weapon after all, and its power is not comparable to that of a cold weapon.
