"This is Luanzhou, right?"

"It's not. This is Riverhouse. The donkey meat here is good, so you can't miss it. ”

"Then this must be Luanzhou, right?"

"Not really. This is Suncheon. A little further north is the state of Fengsheng. ”

"I know, this is the river and the sea, if the official family moves the capital, this is the gateway to Jifu, this must be Luanzhou!"

"But it's not. Here is Tianjin Wei, the official family ordered the Ministry of Industry to be built in the second year of Jingkang, take the meaning of the Son of Heaven to drive across the sea and cross the river here. Luanzhou, a few days to the east. ”

From Bianjing City all the way north to Luanzhou, Jin Fushi and Pu Chengxing finally clearly understood the "big" character of the Great Song Dynasty.

In other words, Da Song shouldn't call himself Da Song at all, because this is too modest. It should be like the folk, call it the Giant Song!

With Jin Fushi and Park Chengxing went north together, Wang Ji, the right attendant of the household department, was made to cry and laugh by the two sticks, and finally simply pointed to the north, and then pointed to the guide, and said: "My Great Song Dynasty has a wide territory, and I start from the north...... I don't know where the current northern border is. Anyway, south to Yaxian, Jiaozhi and Zhenla and other places are also attached to the Great Song Dynasty.

Taking Fengsheng Prefecture as the starting point, without considering any other conditions, even if it is a horse that travels thousands of miles a day, it will take more than ten days to reach Yaxian. If you count the rest, climb the mountains, cross the river, etc., I am afraid that the rest of the month may not be able to arrive. ”

was said by Wang Ji, Jin Fushi found that even though he was thinking about it, he couldn't think of how big the Great Song River should be, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "How big the Great Song is!" ”

Park Chengxing also nodded vigorously and said, "It's really too big!" ”

In addition to the unimaginable size of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it was the people of the Great Song Dynasty who shocked Jin Fushi the most.

The last time I went from Mingzhou to Bianjing, what I saw and heard along the way was enough to shock Jin Fushi, but what I saw and heard on the way from Bianjing to Tianjin Wei this time made Jin Fushi feel ...... Palpitation.

Along the way, whether it was in the city or in the countryside, Jin Fushi didn't see a beggar at all-

Speaking from the heart, if the faces of the people of the Great Song Dynasty have the excitement and high-spiritedness that the faces of the people of Goryeo do not have, Jin Fushi can more or less understand it. After all, it is the people of the Celestial Empire who pressed the Jin Kingdom to the ground and rubbed it, and recently completely exterminated one country, and additionally received two domestic attachments, so it is normal to be proud.

But without beggars, it is really unimaginable for Jin Fushi!

Could it be that there is not a single poor person in the Song Kingdom who can't eat? Even though all the people are industrious, how can those who are born unable to work not become beggars?

If a country is so rich that it doesn't even have a single beggar, how strong should that country be?

After listening to Jin Fushi's question, Wang Ji replied proudly: "I have a nursing home in the Great Song Dynasty, which specializes in sheltering the elderly, sick, orphans, and poor beggars. Those who are old, young, poor, sick, and have no clothes and beggars, or those who are cold and stiff on the road, are allowed to be sent to a nursing home for relief with money and rice. Orphans and poor children who can be taught will be ordered to return to the Salesian Bureau and sent to social studies. ”

"I have a Salesian Bureau in the Great Song Dynasty. The official hired a nurse for Qian Dian, and raised her in the bureau. For example, poor families in the alleys, or men and women who are young and lose their mothers, or who are unable to support them, are abandoned in the neighborhood, and the government collects them and raises them. Give money and rice silk cloth every month, make it full and warm, raise adults, listen to their own physiology, and the official has no restrictions. ”

"I have a Huimin Pharmacy in Da Song, and those who don't have money to buy medicine can go to Huimin Pharmacy to get medicine on credit first, and then pay it back slowly. If you really can't do it, you can do some work for the government. ”

"My Great Song Dynasty still has a leaky garden, in order to bury the dead ownerless."

Every time Wang Ji said a word, the envy on Jin Fushi and Pu Chengxing's faces was one point heavier. After Wang Ji finished speaking, Jin Fushi and Pu Chengxing even wanted to die immediately, so that they could be born in the Song Kingdom in the next life.

It's just that after envying for half a day, Jin Fushi suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he asked: "If someone doesn't want to work and takes the risk of the poor, what should I do?" If this goes on for a long time, will the court still be able to afford it? ”

"Don't want to work? Risking the poor? ”

Wang Ji looked at Jin Fushi with caring eyes for the mentally retarded and asked, "How can there be such a shameless person in this world?" If you are too poor to live, who wants to go to a nursing home? ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Ji laughed again and explained: "The nursing home is not for everyone. But those who can work will be handed over to the government to arrange their labor, and they will not starve to death. ”

Jin Fushi said: "What if someone is unwilling to work and can give up the skin? ”

Wang Ji said: "Okay, according to what you said, there are indeed people who are unwilling to work and can be willing to save face, but how can this local government and these yamen people sit idly by?"

Or take a step back, even if the local government and some people are willing to collude, there are still people from the Imperial Observatory and the Imperial City Division who are secretly picketing these lawlessness.

In addition, the annual audit of the Ministry of Household Affairs is by no means an ornament, as long as the slightest mistake is found, it will be reviewed again, and even handed over to the Department of Justice for re-verification.

In order to be a little cheap, you have to risk a lawsuit or even a head, and you may even implicate three generations of the nine clans, who wants to get this cheap? Even if someone is willing, how can they buy the local government and the yamen of all parties at the same time as the household department, the imperial history platform and the imperial city division? ”

This time, Jin Fushi bowed sincerely to Wang Ji and bowed: "Yes, the lower official has been taught." ”

Wang Ji nodded and said, "That's it, don't talk about these things." In two days, it will almost be time to arrive in Luanzhou, and then the noble envoy will have more time to take a slow look and see how the people of the Great Song Dynasty live. ”

……

"All the new Goryeo laborers were sent to the construction site, and the original ones were transferred to build the Great Wall first. Temporarily raise the salaries of these new Korean laborers by 20%, and then lower them when the matter has passed. ”

After receiving the news that the Goryeo envoy would come to the border city of Luanzhou, Qin Huiwan began to make full preparations.

"Tell those Jinyi supervisors below, while this batch of newly arrived laborers has not yet seen it, let them put away the previous set to the official first, if anyone causes trouble to the official this time, the official will make his family very troublesome!"

"In the past few days, let those who cook and help the kitchen also have a little heart, then the rice should be tao, you still have to dig well, don't go to the top of the construction site with sand and stones, it is not good for people to look good."

"And the one who made clothes in the city, tell him to hurry up and get a batch of new, better quality labor clothes, what kind of broken things were there before, and the official saw that they were making money and making money, and their hearts were so dark!"
