Guazhou.

"This navy is quite powerful!"

Wang Yue looked at the battleships that almost covered the river.

If we count it, the Yangtze River Navy is even stronger than the Changsheng Navy, and most of them are large warships...

Large inland warships.

In fact, the main force is some cars and ships.

Moreover, they are all common tower ships used by inland warships. Giant ships with a length of nearly twenty feet are erected with towering ships, even with catapults and various firearms, floating majesticly on the river. Compared with them, the centipede ships of the ever-winning army that were flowing upstream downstream are obviously much smaller. However, now this powerful navy has given up its resistance, and the main generals are stepping on the Guazhou Wharf to disarm the King's army. As for surrender, the word "surrender" is not considered a word.

They were still the Navy of the Song Dynasty, but they went ashore to accept new appointments under the order of the Deputy Marshal of the World's Army and Horses.

Not considered surrender.

"It's just that there's no use in the future!"

Liu Qi said.

Indeed, this navy exists because of the confrontation between the north and the south. The Yangtze River is the last barrier in the south. The guardian of this barrier is the Yangtze River Navy. However, there is no war in the north and the south, and the Yangtze River Navy will be useless in the future. Even if there are still some patrols and stealing work, there is no need for giant vehicles and ships, and these vehicles and ships cannot be used for maritime operations. These navy soldiers are not suitable for sea. It is true that they are sailors, but inland river sailors are different from those who fight wind and waves at sea.

"War is useless, but shipping is very useful. Those who are willing to go home pay for one year, while those who are unwilling to go home will be reorganized into a canal transport army."

Wang Yue said.

These people are of course very useful.

After the unification of the north and the south, the original canal transportation had to be restored. Although the past canal transportation system had been abolished, it was still necessary to transport grain from the south along the canal to the north.

And more importantly, after completing the militiaization and grain franchise in Jiangnan, a large amount of manpower is needed to transport grain from various places. It is not easy to truly maintain this system. A very important point is transportation. The current system in the north is to set up grain stations at the township level, and then the militias transported them to the grain stations themselves.

Including taxed grain and surplus grain.

In fact, most of them are taxed or rented grain.

Farmers who rent public fields and self-cultivated farmers who pay taxes all pay grain, but the grain is sent directly to the local grain stations. The grain stations directly give the discount to the court based on the amount of grain received and the bargaining price of the grain to the court. Local officials cannot be involved in this. Their salary is directly paid by superiors, and they do not give them money. They are all given to paper money. They can just go to the bank to exchange it themselves, and it is the same if they do not exchange it, but they cannot be involved in tax grain.

The tax grain is collected by the yard, and then militias are transported to the grain station, and then reconciled with the officials sent from the local area.

If you don’t have enough money, you have to explain to the government.

You even have to be punished to varying degrees depending on the situation.

The grain station specializes in maintaining a transportation team, and then transports the grain from the grain station to the county.

The county has a large grain warehouse.

Then branches are set up in those commercial cities to be responsible for grain regulation in the region. In fact, it is mainly to adjust grain from these grain warehouses to maintain the grain supply in commercial cities.

As for the next level, it is Wang Yue’s headquarters.

This is responsible for national-level grain scheduling, planning and arrangements, and even fertilizer, water conservancy construction, agricultural technology promotion and other work.

As for the problems with this system, it is naturally inefficient.

However, no matter how low it is, it is higher than the government in the feudal era. The efficiency is compared. Compared with the original officials, the efficiency of this system is definitely much higher. Besides, as a system that mainly maintains national security, the efficiency is lower if it is low. What's more, there are actually not so many non-agricultural populations in this era. The population in Kaifeng City is indeed approaching the 2 million mark, but the problem is that there are still a lot of farmland outside Kaifeng City.

Commercial cities of this era are not pure commercial cities.

All around are agricultural areas.

And they are usually the best agricultural areas. In ancient times, cities were built on agricultural areas. Farmlands attached to the capital were often the best water source conditions with the highest yield.

And there is another very important point, that is, once a problem occurs, Wang Yue can really kill people.

Those grain station managers, branch managers, and even the villages responsible for grain collection will really lose their heads once there is a problem. Wang Yue, the owner of the grain company, does not have the right to kill people, but he can let Wang Yue, who holds the Shangfang sword, kill people.

In addition, grain is indeed purchased and sold in a unified manner, and this is strictly implemented. Even those who smuggle food can be killed when needed. However, there are no restrictions on other foods, no restrictions on meat, no aquatic products, and livestock industry develops at will, especially the processing of canned food in coastal fisheries, and even subsidies will be received. Therefore, those who want to make a fortune in their meals can do nothing about food. They can develop in these aspects. Anyway, the final increase is still the food supply.

As for officials who do not distribute food, only pay salaries, the army also only distributes money but not food. The grain needed is purchased on the spot, including military operations abroad, which is also purchased by the logistics department. Transportation to the war zone has nothing to do with the grain company, but the logistics department’s own business. In fact, the logistics department hires commercial transportation teams, and the grain company is responsible for that area cannot be short of food. A branch’s area can be transported from other branches.

Especially during famine.

In this way, the transportation speed between branches is very important.

In this era without railways and cars, water transportation can only be used as the main trunk and various vehicle transportation as branches.

Therefore, water transportation is crucial.

In the past, this system could still be maintained in these places in Hebei, but that was because it was the Great Plains, with sea transportation and inland shipping, and plain vehicles were enough. However, the increase in mountainous areas in the south and the roads in many places were difficult, and this system was about to face a huge challenge. In addition to continuing to build roads, especially in those mountainous areas, the rest was only able to strengthen water transportation, especially those streams, so Wang Yue needed to be responsible for water transportation. Most of these soldiers were useless to the court, but they were very useful to him.

"Here you come!"

Liu Qi suddenly said.

Wang Yue immediately turned his gaze upstream, where a small broken boat that was obviously deliberately pretending to be pitiful was carrying a group of people in prison uniforms, passing through the crowded warships on the river toward Guazhou Wharf.

"Let's go, everyone is happy!"

Wang Yue said.

They walked down the city wall and then walked out of the Guazhou city gate.

At this time, the ship also leaned on the dock. A group of old guys in prison uniforms surrounded a young man in prison uniform walked onto the dock. Wang Yue quickly smiled and then stepped forward. But just as he was about to go, he deliberately slowed down. The young man knelt down on the ground very sensible...

"The sinner Zhao Shu welcomes the angel!"

He said with his head down.

Wang Yue then stepped forward and quickly helped him up.

"Why is King Su? Isn't it true that King Zhesha!"

He said.

Well, this is Zhao Shu and his ministers, such as Lu Haowen.

Zhao Huan did not explicitly say what to do with his younger brother. Although his younger brother was really innocent, Zhao Shu was completely forced to succeed the throne after the great painter left. In fact, he was just a puppet. Later, he automatically abolished the imperial title and changed it to Jianguo. After Wang Yue officially moved south, he even stopped claiming to be Jianguo. However, Zhao Huan has not issued an order to deprive him of King Su. Although he is actually even more afraid, when he meets him at this moment, Wang Yue can still call him King Su. He is here to welcome the surrender.

"Shu was obsessed with the mind and committed a serious crime. At this moment, he could only bow his head to the crime."

Zhao Shu said.

"What the king did before did indeed make Your Majesty quite sad, but after all, the king is His Majesty's brother, and he has never made a big mistake. He just usurped the throne for a few days. He was all crazy and unconscious. His Majesty also knew that the king had an old disease and often broke out in the capital, so there was no need to mention this kind of crime. Your Majesty meant that the king continued to retain the title and then went to Liaoyang to live. The climate there was not as hot as the Jiangnan region. I think the king could rest, and maybe it would be better in a few years."

Wang Yue said.

OK, it's also possible to use psychopaths.

What is the use of King Su's trumpet? It's all about his psychopathy. We should be more tolerant of a psychopath.

It is estimated that his mental illness was due to the hot Jiangnan, so he sent him to Liaoyang to recuperate in a relatively cool place, and it would be better if he had been raising it for a few years.

"What the King of Zhongshan said is that Xiao Wang was so confused before thinking about it, he had no idea what he had done. His brother was generous and I am really sorry for my younger brother. Xiao Wang would definitely think about his own mistakes when he went to Liaoyang. From then on, he devoted himself to practicing Taoism and never asked about foreign affairs again."

Zhao Shu said, wiping his tears.

I have to say that this is really a kind of respect!

"Come here, please change the clothes for the king. What does it look like when wearing this look!"

Wang Yue said with a smile.

The servants under his subordinates quickly stepped forward and took off the prison uniforms for Zhao Shu. Wang Yue took off his cloak and put them on King Su himself. Then the two joined hands and announced to the tens of thousands of naval troops on the river and the hundreds of thousands of Guazhou people that Jiangnan officially returned to the court, and the Song Dynasty completed the unification again...

Of course, it's just symbolic.

After all, this only means that the Zhenjiang court gave up resistance, but how the officials and gentry in various places choose another matter. Wang Dawang has to continue to move forward next, completing the reduction one road after another, and even after the Public Field Law is officially launched, will there be gentry losing their minds and launching a rebellion again? This is also unknown. At this moment, Wang Yue was just like the bald man, completing the formal unification of the Song Dynasty. It will take a long time to truly restore the order of the entire country.
