Chapter 502: The Basic National Policy of the Great Song Dynasty

As we all know, the brilliance of cloud servers and dn lies in multi-node distribution. When a certain server goes down, it can immediately switch to the backup server of other nodes. Unless all nodes are destroyed at the same time, it will not affect the server online.

.

If the capital of a country is regarded as the main server node, then the capital is naturally the backup server node. Zhao Huan was a programmer before he traveled through time and became the unlucky guy in Chongzhen, and Mr. Xunfei once said that he did not know how to play cloud node cloud backup.

Programmers are not good emperors.

Although the Song Dynasty was the first to use cloud backup in history, with three accompanying capitals: Yingtianfu, Xijing, and Damingfu. However, it is a pity that the emperors of the Song Dynasty obviously did not understand what cloud nodes were, so that these three places

There is no cloud backup function at all, and Daming Mansion, which was originally used as a base before attacking Liao, did not even play its due role.

It was Emperor Chengzu Zhu Laosi of the Ming Dynasty who really developed the cloud backup function, although that idiot Chongzhen did not switch to the Jinling server node in time when the Beiping server node went down.

Now what Zhao Huan wants to do is not only to build imperial cities in Jinling, Chang'an, and Shenzhou, but also to make these three companions have the complete military government from Zhongshu Province to Liubu, just like Nanjing during the Ming Dynasty.

Functional agencies can be activated immediately if needed one day in the future.

Of course, this idea is indeed a bit unfounded, but even if it will never be used in the future, the imperial cities in these three places can still allow the people to enjoy a wave of benefits from the industrial chain, thereby boosting the economy and tax revenue.

Even charging tickets for people to visit can bring stable and long-lasting income.

A good emperor is one who is far-sighted and never forgets to make money from the people.

Of course, as Zhou Shuren said, a person will not be rich without windfall, and a horse will not be fat without night grass. The same is true for a country.

Whatever you can get from your own people is small money.

The real big boss will have to fight a few battles to destroy the country and directly bring back the opponent's treasury to be considered a windfall.

Therefore, Zhao Huan's focus quickly shifted from cloud backup to the Kingdom of Jin. In addition, this personal expedition had no intention of hiding it. Zhao Huan also wanted to know the true reaction of the people in Shuntian Prefecture.

"There is quite a lot of movement in the Kingdom of Jin. Recently, there have been fewer businessmen traveling to and from the border city of Luanzhou."

Qin Huiwan bowed and said: "As for the Shuntian Prefecture, apart from the wealthy merchants who want to donate wages and food, the common people are also clamoring to join the expedition, but they have all been persuaded to go back."

Zhao Huan hummed and said, "You did the right thing."

Even in the era of cold weapons, the old gangster Liu Bang still knew the rule that corporals should not be recruited without instruction. Although the Song Dynasty's foreign wars have not yet reached the level of pure hot weapons wars like World War I and World War II, they are no longer what they used to be.

It's a cold weapon mode where you can go into battle and kill the enemy with your bravery.

In addition, the development of firearms in the Jin Kingdom has been led astray. The proportion of saltpeter in the gunpowder has increased, which not only means that the chamber is easy to explode, but also means that the sound of the gun is louder and the smell of gunpowder smoke is heavier.

As the saying goes, new recruits are afraid of artillery, and veterans are afraid of guns. The veterans in the Forbidden Army can fall asleep on the battlefield with heavy artillery fire, and can also stay extremely vigilant on the battlefield with the occasional sound of gunfire, but those new recruits are just the opposite, let alone

It would be strange for these young and untrained people not to blow up the camp first when the time comes.

As for those wealthy businessmen who wanted to donate wages and food, Zhao Huan was a little hesitant for a while.

If you don't accept these people's donations of salary and food, it will inevitably chill people's hearts. Chongzhen's unlucky boy couldn't borrow money even if he wanted to. People in the Song Dynasty worked hard to give gifts to the emperor. How rare and precious people's hearts are.

But if you accept it, it may give people the illusion of supporting business.

Although the Song Dynasty never prohibited the development of commerce, it did not openly support commerce. Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce was the basic national policy of the Song Dynasty. The reason why the Song Dynasty relaxed the control of commerce was, to put it bluntly,

In order to have money, he gave annual coins to Daliao, Xixia and other countries.

Otherwise, why was it that the Song Dynasty was the only one in history to deregulate business? There were so many other dynasties that focused on agriculture and suppressed business. Could it be that the emperors of these dynasties were all blind and couldn't see business taxes?

How much benefit can it bring to the national treasury? Even if these emperors are all idiots, the big bosses standing in the court should be able to see it, right?

It's not that we can't see it, but that under the premise that industrial technology and agricultural technology are not developed enough, we can only selectively focus on agriculture and suppress commerce. This thing can certainly increase the income of the court, but without farmers farming, no matter how much money there is, it will be useless.

The solution is food. Flower growers have high-yielding hybrid rice and chemical fertilizers. The emperors in ancient times had balls? Therefore, for the stability of the country, the emperor and the big shots in the court can only give priority to agriculture.

Just like what Huang Shiren said, as the saying goes, poverty breeds stratagem, wealth breeds conscience, boredom breeds disaster. A more elegant way of saying it is that a person with solid food and clothing knows the etiquette, and with enough food and clothing, he knows honor and disgrace. There are actually thousands of things behind this theory.

The blood and tears of millions of farmers are uncles when they have no food to eat, they are farmer brothers when they have food to eat, they are migrant workers when they are well fed, and they are basically asking for wages maliciously when they are no longer needed.

Although the Song Dynasty does not need to give anyone new coins, but under the threat of the Little Ice Age, Zhao Huan did not have the courage to challenge the basic national policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce.

If they all go to industry and commerce, who will farm the land? Without people to farm, where will the granaries in various places go to store food? If there is no food, we will wait for the Little Ice Age to come and then the food production will decrease and the food price will drop.

With prices skyrocketing, the people still cannot afford to eat food, and those who should rebel will still rebel. Basically, it will end badly.

Unless chemical fertilizers are developed first, and then hybrid rice, high-yielding corn, sweet potatoes and other things can be developed. But apart from sweet potatoes and potatoes, which one is more reliable? The yield of natural fertilizers is low, and the yield of chemical fertilizers is low.

Without that technology, even corn is unreliable. According to rumors, the corn in the Song Dynasty is nothing like the sweet corn, sticky corn and the like in later generations, and the yield may not be that high.

What's even more terrible is that Zhao Huan had a national policy to have more children and more trees...

Having more children means that the population will increase significantly, and the demand for food will also increase greatly.

Therefore, what Zhao Huan needs to implement now is to focus on agriculture and suppress business, and hoard a large amount of food before the arrival of the Little Ice Age to minimize possible turmoil in the future.
