The replacement of the prime minister is Zhao Zhen's first stimulus to the courtiers, and there are even more exciting things waiting for them.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, and Sancai took a plate of official documents and passed them to the ministers of the Privy Council, these are the general outlines of military reform, the old military system of the Great Song Dynasty is no longer suitable for today's Great Song Dynasty, he only restrains the hands and feet of the generals and disperses the rights in their hands.

Rapid economic development led Zhao Zhen to put military reform on the agenda.

The treatment of the forbidden army is not at the bottom, and combined with the compulsory military system, it should be able to expand the army of the Great Song Dynasty soon, but this requires a lot of money, you must know that the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty is a gold-swallowing beast.

The cost of weapons and equipment is outrageously high, and a single 10,000-strong army will consume 150,000 yuan of military salary for the imperial court every year, which is more than three times that of the beginning of the founding of the country.

Many civil servants in the DPRK did not understand such high military spending, and even suggested to Zhao Zhen to reduce the expenditure on military equipment, but all of them were rejected by Zhao Zhen.

Just kidding, the reason why the strong army of the Great Song Dynasty has not tasted a single defeat since Zhao Zhen came to power is due to a large part of the credit to these equipment, it can be said that without the support of these equipment, training alone still cannot match the nomads on horseback.

Zhao Zhen's military reform this time not only wanted to change the clothes of the entire Great Song Dynasty's forbidden army, but also to train a fierce Great Song Dynasty iron horseman.

The cavalry was the sharpest heavy mobile force of this era, and with the cooperation of plate armor and armor-piercing horse lance, Zhao Zhen did not believe that the cavalry of the Liao Dynasty and the party would be their opponent.

There is no need to worry about military horses, the war horses from the Abbasid dynasty can fully meet the needs of the Great Song cavalry.

When Cao Wei opened the official document and browsed it quickly, he stared straight at Ding Wei, not moving away, Ding Wei had a creepy feeling for a while, as if he was a fat sheep to be slaughtered......

After opening the official document and seeing the intentions of the official family, Ding Wei smiled helplessly, it seems that this time the treasury in charge of the three divisions is going to bleed again!

No wonder Cao Wei, as a privy envoy, showed that expression, these expenses are not only huge, they are almost exhausting most of the wealth accumulated by the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, and the treasury has not had so much surplus for a long time......

"Ding Xianggong, this money should be no problem for the third division, right?"

Ding Wei replied directly: "There is no problem, there is still a surplus in the treasury money!" ”

There is no way not to say this, the official family has always planned, if he didn't know how much money the treasury has, he wouldn't have divided the French military expenses in such detail, and even a small horse iron was counted.

Cao Wei was relieved when he heard Ding Wei say this, to be honest, even he was taken aback by this change of dress, he had seen the departure of the plate armor, and he had also seen the edge of the Mo knife, he had imagined that he would assemble these weapons in large quantities in the Great Song Dynasty, but the money needed would defeat him.

But I didn't expect that I would be affirmed by the official family with a simple sparseness, and I changed the clothes of the forbidden army at one time with the money of the national treasury!

He didn't know how much money the Great Song Dynasty's treasury had, and Zhao Zhen also made a ruthless decision after seeing Xiaoshan's gold and silver, and now the Great Song Dynasty's taxes from merchants far exceeded the grain, not to mention that there were three silver mines overseas that continued to provide the needs of the Song Empire.

Nowadays, the surrounding neighboring countries are also more and more dependent on the goods of the Great Song Dynasty, and the variety of goods, the exquisite quality, and the fair price have made the local industry suffer one blow after another, so that there are basically no factories except for the Great Song Dynasty.

Dependence is a habit, and long-term dependence has made the Great Song Dynasty form a monopoly.

There were many factories in the Great Song Dynasty, and under the premise that the domestic market was basically saturated, merchants could only explore overseas markets.

Zhao Zhen wanted to sell the goods of the Great Song Dynasty to all over the world, and then bring back advanced science and technology from all over the world.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to announce that as long as the businessmen could bring back the technology of other countries, the tariffs would be exempted.

This initiative allowed Da Song to acquire a number of unheard of and extremely practical technologies.

The Great Song Dynasty also became richer and richer, the treasury was full, and the people's money bags slowly bulged.

Commerce promoted the development of the whole society, which was an extremely rare phenomenon in the feudal era, and Zhao Zhen defined it as capitalism with the characteristics of Chinese feudal society.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the influence of capital was everywhere, the roads between towns, the advancement of urbanization, etc., these are all products driven by capital, otherwise who would have spent so much money to help the imperial court build roads and cities? It's not like I've seen the sweetness in it!

With the development of the factory, more and more people needed to settle down in the city, so Zhao Zhen saw the hope of large-scale urbanization in the Great Song Dynasty.

After Zhao Zhen announced in the court to speed up the urbanization of the state capitals of the Great Song Dynasty, the Manchu Dynasty was silent, and the level of urbanization in the Great Song Dynasty was already very high, and there was no need to further strengthen it, which was simply a move to add to the snake, but they didn't know that Zhao Zhen was the Great Song Dynasty to promote the development of the whole society.

No one knows better than him the benefits of urbanization, which can bring together talents and careers from all over the world, push the economic prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty to another peak, and improve the improvement and development of various systems such as education, culture, and medical care in the Great Song Dynasty.

Whether it is military reform or the implementation of urbanization, these are Zhao Zhen's means to change the Great Song Dynasty, in his opinion, only when the Great Song Dynasty becomes strong, the prosperous Great Song Dynasty will not become a passing cloud, and these are just means to serve the Great Song Dynasty, there is nothing wrong.

The courtiers basically agreed with Zhao Zhen's plan, the military reform would make the Great Song Dynasty's combat power to a higher level, and the accelerated urbanization would be beneficial to the scholar class, after all, the scholar class basically lived in the center of the state capital.

There are even many people who believe that if the cities of the Great Song Dynasty can be as prosperous as the city of Tokyo, then the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty will continue forever, breaking the common sense of dynastic change.

Zhao Zhen knew that it was impossible, but he still didn't puncture their illusions, this kind of thinking can make them work harder, why not?

The Great Dynasty will end in the surprise of the civil and military ministers, of course, the end of the Dynasty will also herald the beginning of a new round of changes, Zhao Zhen after the dispersal of the Dynasty The first thing is to go to the Fengqiu military camp, he wants to see how long it will take the Ordnance Department and the Armament Division to complete the army's redress.

This is the most urgent thing, as time goes by, both the party and the Liao dynasty are ready to move, especially the monolithic party members.

Judging from the recent news transmitted by the black hand, the party's ambition to start the westward expedition is based on the founding of the country.

Once the party wants to establish a country, it will inevitably strike a blow at the former suzerainty of the Great Song Dynasty!

From the original battle of Yanzhou, we can see the mentality of the party members, if they do not defeat the Great Song Dynasty on the battlefield once, the party members will always be the vassals of the Great Song Dynasty, even if Li Yuanhao establishes the country and becomes the emperor, he cannot change the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty.

Only the strong will be respected and recognized by others, and there is only one way for the party to become a strong man, defeating the Central Plains Dynasty to which they depended in the past.

This can be seen even by the ministers of the court, people of insight such as Fan Zhongyan once went to Zhao Zhen and asked to strengthen the defense of the northwest, and Zhao Zhen naturally had to plan for the upcoming things, so he proposed military reform at the court meeting.
