Verse 41 The thief's heart does not die, on

Glancing at the next news, Zhao Yue didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and he was even more shocked into a cold sweat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This wave of immigration, the Song Dynasty lost an astonishing number of people,

In just one summer, this absolute world's most populous country has almost been reduced to the kind of population grade that the Seljuk Empire could catch up with if it was crazy to expand and plunder the population, although it was the second most populous country in a stable manner, but the Song Dynasty's hearts fluctuated, and I was afraid that if there was another summer plunder, the population of the Song Dynasty would suddenly become less than that of the Liao State.

At this time, the Liao State continued to lose the war with the Jin State, lost the prestige and deterrence of the first power, and gradually formed a rebellion.

In the astonishingly vast territory under his control, many miscellaneous Hu turned to support the Jurchens or did not help each other, taking the opportunity to no longer submit to the Khitan Dynasty and pay taxes, and not to help the Khitan fight, which actually no longer belonged to the Liao State. Coupled with the war damage, the Jurchens' crazy massacres in the process of conquering the Zahu and Khitan people over the years, as well as a large number of deaths such as hunger and plague caused by wars and natural disasters, the population size of the Liao State has rapidly dropped from tens of millions of loose shelves, although it is difficult to accurately count at the beginning, to less than 10 million people today.

A country with a population of nearly 10 million is a rare country with a handful of slaps in the face in this era.

Historically, the only people who could reach this scale were the Song, Seljuk, Indian Chola and Liao.

At this time, the Chola Dynasty had already perished for many years under Zhao Yue's planning. The three regions of Afghanistan are full of small countries, and they are not only killing each other and invading foreign races, but also destroying one after another, and there is chaos. One kingdom after another, from kings to noble ministers, to armies, to nouveau riche, all frantically pursued pleasure, for fear that the fruits they had grabbed would be lost in the chaos of strife and war, and they themselves became another batch of unfortunate people who lost the blessing of the gods and fell, resulting in the fruits not being fully enjoyed and getting a battle in vain.

During this period of brutality and evil, the superstitious kings and lords of Ah San Middle School prayed to the gods to bless their powerful lives and interests, or wanted to gain peace of mind, self-confidence and strength, and more actively and generously cast gold and the most precious jewels into the gods, decorate and worship those temples with loud names to show their devotion to faith, so that the southern navy of the pirate empire entered the interior along the Ah San Holy River and ransacked it, causing the Ah San magnates to be surprised, shocked, heartache and helpless to almost have a nervous breakdown and commit suicide one after another.

, looking back, not counting the pirate empire that rapidly grew into the first in population, the population of the Song Dynasty is still a big bull that crushes other major countries in the world.

However, the Song Dynasty was a low-efficiency farming people, not a race where children could easily herd a flock of sheep and obtain the survival of the national nation, and the current surrounding environment has not diminished much.

Although the Western Xia Kingdom was small, it was still so powerful that it coerced the Song Kingdom, and from time to time it wantonly invaded and plundered.

The power of the Liao State was greatly damaged, and it was overwhelmed by the Jurchens, and the elite heavy troops were mostly deployed in the north to fight against the Jin army, but there was the Western Xia to contain the Song Western Army, and the Liao army and Liao people in the Yanyun region relied on the advantage of fast horses and scimitars to coerce the Song State and still have power, and in order to make up for the huge losses caused by the war, they wanted to plunder and supply from the Song State more than before.

In other words, the military scale that the Song Dynasty had to support and the military pressure that it had to bear the largest amount of money could not be reduced.

In the past, with a population of nearly 100 million, the Song Dynasty did not show any military superiority, but now the population has plummeted to only tens of millions, which is ......

This, do you still need to fight to destroy the Song Dynasty?

Just play immigration, and the so-called Great Song Dynasty will naturally collapse and die.

This casual summer harvest plan is afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will soon be overwhelmed by the harsh surrounding military pressure.

Doesn't it mean that the Han people are the most nostalgic for their homeland in the world and the most sticky to their homeland?

What's going on?

How could there be so many Song people who were so active in immigrating, and most of the rest were waiting and seeing, and they were half-hearted and could betray Song at any time?

Shuzhong, which is the most difficult to lose population, has actually become the main area of immigrants this time?!

The prosperous Chengdu Plain, which is suitable for life, has lost nearly seventy percent of its population at once this time?

Countless fields and properties were abandoned and abandoned, Shuzhong abolished the remote states that were deserted and had no military value, and forcibly incorporated all the surviving official armies in the population and immigration frenzy into the Chengdu Plain to improve government rule, facilitate management, and protect the economy, and the population was no longer what it used to be?

Zhao Yue stared at the telegram, and the cold sweat on his face was dripping down.

The Song Dynasty can't fall quickly now.

Otherwise, those Han people who should not die and should die, the bad habits of the Han people who should be extinguished, the warlord forces of the separatists, and the foreign enemies who invaded the Song soil are mixed together, how can they be cleaned up.

He Xuantong saw Zhao Yue's concern, but his expression was relaxed, obviously he had analyzed and prepared before coming.

"Your Highness don't worry. The Song court will not fall automatically because of this disaster. ”

Zhao Yue subconsciously wiped the cold sweat with his cuffs and looked at He Xuantong, "What do you say?" ”

He Xuantong smiled: "The phenomenon in Shuzhong has the credit of our people, but the most important thing is that it is caused by the sins of those bureaucrats led by Yin Zhu Shengfei of Chengdu Prefecture. ”

explained a little about the causes and process of the turmoil in Shuzhong,

He Xuandao: "It is those heroes and subordinates who have lost their homes and become terrible robbers everywhere, although the main scourge is the big families in Shuzhong, but it undoubtedly causes war and panic in Shuzhong, and indirectly forces the people of the Shuzhong Plain to flee their hometowns in order to avoid the danger of slaughter and looting that may come at any time." ”

Zhu Gui smiled and said, "Zhu Shengfei is the same party of the old thief Cai Jing. ”

Zhao Yue understood as soon as he heard it, but he didn't have the heart to care about how Lao Cai's gang was selfish and vicious in order to seize power, and continued to bring disaster to the country and the people.

He Xuandao: "Your Highness, this Great Song Dynasty has a large population, which is not a good thing in the past. ”

"The territory is small, the arable land is too small, the population is too large and growing rapidly, and on the whole, this is not an advantage but a huge economic burden and a hidden danger of social contradictions."

Zhao Yue nodded slightly.

"This time, the Song court's population outburst is amazing,

However, the countless gentry and wealthy families who occupied too much fertile land but paid little or even no taxes were swept away, freeing up a large amount of tax base for the imperial court, not to mention, the massive amount of grain harvested by the big families in the summer fell into the hands of the people and the government.

The hidden money was dug up, and the gold, silver and jewelry were looted by the waves of immigrants and brought to our empire, but the copper coins as circulating currency did not lose much from the Song Dynasty.

Immigrants know that copper coins are not money in our empire, and they drag their families and families on the way to escape quickly, so they will naturally not be stupid to drag down their progress with heavy copper coins, and the copper coins hidden by large families that do not participate in circulation also fall into the hands of the people and the government who do not leave. ”

"In the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the copper coins minted were more than hundreds of millions, although many were lost to foreign countries, but the main body was still in the Great Song Dynasty, but most of them were hidden by large households.

In the years when Cangzhao commerce promoted production and overseas trade to drive economic development, the tax revenue of the Great Song Dynasty not only doubled, but also reached 200 million yuan casually.

The maritime merchants who followed the protection of our fleet earned countless gold and silver treasures from the world and flowed into the Great Song Dynasty, but they were not circulating currency, and they were mostly hidden and did not participate in circulation transactions.

The Song Dynasty had enjoyed a good life on huge taxes for many years, but it was suffering from the shortage of currency in circulation, so he had to find ways to desperately find and mine copper mines and mint large coins to make up for the shortage of copper coins. ”

"What the Great Song Dynasty lost this time was just gold, silver and jewelry that the big families did not participate in the circulation, but the copper coins were released all at once, and I am afraid that there will not be hundreds of millions. No more money shortages. ”

In other words, the money and grain that Song Court got for nothing and the money and grain that fell into the hands of the people and could be looted are massive numbers.

Food alone was originally consumed by nearly 100 million people for half a year or even a year, but now most of the population has emigrated and taken away some food, but mainly to eat our empire. The rest of the population of the Great Song Dynasty occupies nearly 100 million people, how can the food be consumed? ”

"In addition, the countless grains that have been planted but no one harvested in the autumn have also fallen into the hands, and the Song Dynasty's money and grain will not be used up in a few years, so why worry about not being able to supply military expenses and other financial expenses?"

"But after that, there will be fewer cultivators,

But His Highness didn't know anything, according to the statistics from the empire, the new immigrants this time were young or even young, and the average age was only in their teens.

The young couple who have formed a family are the main force of immigrants, not only with their young children, but also with young people who have not yet formed a family to form a group of armed forces, with the younger brothers and sisters of both husband and wife, and with the young children of the same village who have no adult immigrants, all the way to form a stronger team, all the way to loot cars and boats, and pull children who cannot travel long distances to the nearest contact point of our empire to take refuge on the ship.

According to the crew member in charge of the reception, the head of the tired but excited child was surging as far as the eye could see. It was a strange scene that made people laugh and cry.

The elderly and people in their forties and fifties who can't walk or refuse to leave their hometowns choose to stay in Dasong to continue their lives.

This is generally the case with immigrants everywhere.

The staff of the immigration office felt that something was wrong, and asked why the adults did not come, but the children came.

The leaders of the various places who led the immigration almost unanimously replied that the pirate empire is a paradise for our Han people, not only living well, but also free education, well, the empire has a lot of free and milk, meat, eggs, nutrition subsidies and medical security care for children, bringing children who do not have adults to show loyalty to the empire, but also to let the children in the empire eat better, grow stronger and have the opportunity to study and become talents, well, learn the practical livelihood skills that the pirate empire has, and when they grow up, they can be more useful to the empire, and they can make more contributions to serve the country, Yunyun. It is full of sincerity, and it is very touching, and it is very beautiful.

In fact, these guys are playing wishful thinking, nothing more than to gain both ends.

On the one hand, in our empire, we can occupy the land property for nothing and the various benefits that the empire gives to the citizens, and those who stay in the Great Song Dynasty can also take the opportunity to occupy many ownerless land properties, which is happening.

And he lost his own children to our empire.

The empire will raise these children who are not raised by adults and have no ability to survive independently, and will attach great importance to the growth and education of children. Throw all the burden on our empire, knowing that the empire can afford to be rich, it depends on our empire that is built with benevolence and benevolence, and they can easily stay in the Great Song Dynasty.

And wow, there are people on both sides, whether in the future, whether our empire wins, the Great Song Dynasty can't destroy us, or the Great Song Dynasty wins, and the territory expands to include the pirate empire, they can all advance or retreat on both sides to benefit from the circle, and spread out their leaves, expand the future generations to a broader living space, so that the family can get more development. “

"One day in the future, even if the empire is defeated and the Great Song Dynasty wins, even if the Song court hates the people who betrayed the Great Song Dynasty and voted for pirates, then it can't kill the people of the pirate country, right?"

"Since ancient times, the law has not blamed the public."

"What's more, there are too many Han people in our empire. After Song Ting's victory, not only could he not indiscriminately kill those who defected to our pirates and warned them, but also for those who stayed on the side of the Great Song Dynasty at the moment, even if he knew that someone in his family had taken refuge in the pirates, he did not dare to punish them easily. Before and after, you have to be good at appeasing and attracting people's hearts.

Otherwise, if they are forced to rebel, there will be no one to cultivate and work in the Great Song Dynasty to maintain the existence of the Great Song Dynasty, and the future of occupying the pirate country will be extremely happy and sad in the blink of an eye. ”

"These guys have seen the trick of this, there is nothing to worry about, both sides are living comfortably, and the future is bright."

"Hehe, Kwon (Kwon Bangyan) has worked hard for ten years to promote education, and it has indeed been fruitful."

"Your Highness, look at the shrewdness and insight of these people in immigration, this fully shows that the people have become wise and enlightened!"

With He Xuantong's transparent and expansive realm, he couldn't help but complain about the cunning behavior of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and his face was full of crying and laughing.

Zhao Yue was stunned when he heard this.

He Xuantong smiled bitterly and said: Your Highness, you see, the people who stayed in the Great Song Dynasty, whether they were good or bad, were all capable of working in the prime of life, and the burden of raising children was almost no according to the proportion of the population, which means that the Great Song Dynasty had almost no burden on the huge consumption of children.

The Great Song Dynasty has the high-yield crops, vegetables and fruits brought from overseas by the business led by His Royal Highness, the efficient and convenient agricultural tools such as ploughing, sowing and threshing that your family has promoted, and the many cattle and horses that Cangbei from the north under the leadership of the eldest prince are available, and the people have got livestock and tools from the big households, and we will promote the technology of increasing grain production that the people have been proficient in for many years, and the cultivation ability is very strong, and they have their own vast fields. Even if there is not so much food left over from the great perished families, it can supply a million troops. It's nothing more than being exploited harshly. ”

Zhu Gui said: "Yes, childe." The military advisor was right.

What the Song court lost in this frenzy was population, gold and silver, but what it gained was more abundant and squanderable money and food, how could it fall? They'll just get better off with it. It's just that they will be frightened by the loss of population, and they will be anxious and frightened day and night because they will be easily annihilated by our empire from the sea at any time. ”

Zhao Yue thought about it for a while, slowly nodded in agreement, and said with a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

"Zhao Ji can still be an official for a few years if he sits in the country, but he must not let them live the rest of their lives better. It is to make them frightened day and night. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the people of the world who have been miserable by them for so long? How to be worthy of our huge efforts? ”

Zhu Gui showed Zhao Yue the telegram he had just arrived.

"Your Highness, look at this. I don't know if it's good or bad. It is up to His Highness to decide. “

Zhao Yue glanced at it.

"Tarzan?"
