Chapter 110: Half a Year
Of course, Zhao Dezhao is not going to limit the imperial power now, but he does have this idea.
In the feudal era, the upward passage and the stable class were the foundation of stability.
But the unrestricted imperial power is definitely the flower of evil in this era.
In the Ming Dynasty, he had begun to limit the imperial power in the later period, and the fiefs of the major royal palaces were sealed to Oceania, the Americas, and Africa.
However, because the imperial power was above the law, there were still many social problems in the later period.
The Song Dynasty did not have a large clan family like the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible for him to marry dozens of wives like the Ming Dynasty now.
However, if it is not restricted from the source, after a few generations, the clan and the noble class will still gradually become corrupt.
Therefore, compared with the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Dezhao's plan to implement a different point is that the state is greater than the nation, and it is also greater than the imperial power.
Of course, he will not explicitly write it into the law now, but from the outset it must be implied that the status of the state will be above all people, all classes.
This is the biggest difference between the state and the imperial court.
The imperial court is the world, and the authority of the emperor is the highest, even above the law, the interests of the state, and the interests of the nation.
This time, he wanted to change things up.
If there is a class of interests that seek personal interests in the interests of the state, he can also see the problem from the beginning.
From now on, imperceptibly, with Zhao Kuangyin's transition as emperor over the years, he is very sure to control this size.
Because this kind of restriction is unaware of most people, and it gradually applies to their thoughts.
For this reason, Zhao Dezhao will not admit it directly to Chen Tuan.
It's good that he has this guess, there are very few people like him in this world who can directly discover the cognition behind the ideology.
If Zhao Dezhao hadn't shown him these materials, he probably wouldn't have thought of this directly.
Chen Liang left, Tong Liang wanted to speak and stopped, and finally asked: "Second brother, although you don't admit it, but the emperor is the biggest in the world, why do you think the country is bigger than the emperor?" Isn't this country the emperor's? ”
Zhao Dezhao whispered: "This country belongs to the entire Chinese nation. The emperor is the manager, not the owner. ”
However, he barely made a sound at this sentence, because in this era, only Pei Gean can understand him.
Except for her, Zhao Dezhao would not let anyone know that he had such thoughts.
Since the Qin Emperor unified the whole country, almost all emperors in all dynasties regarded the world as their own.
It is this kind of thinking of the family and the world, the behavior of doing whatever you want, that makes each dynasty a reincarnation for a few hundred years at most.
Xing, the people are bitter. Death, the people suffer.
Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was the emperor and the family who ruled the world, and after the Song Dynasty, it was the emperor and the scholars who ruled the world.
From the beginning to the end, until the new era, there was no participation of the common people.
Zhao Dezhao will not take too big a step, but he will unswervingly go in this direction.
Pei Ge'an came to the study with caution and prudence, and the two girls came to the study, they all freshened up, dressed up, and brought a fragrance when they came in.
"You're tired all day, go and rest, you'll be busy tomorrow."
Tong Liang said: "The slave is not tired, the second brother is tired." Not only do you have to work on the affairs of the court every day, but you also have to take the craftsmen to renovate ......"
Zhao Dezhao said with a smile: "Okay, don't persuade anymore, it's just a little busier in the past two years, and it will be easy in two years." ”
Zhao Dezhao has a good understanding of the industrial system, but he is only limited to the guidance of basic technology and development links.
All walks of life, after gradually maturing and cultivating more craftsmen, he doesn't have to worry about it.
After sending Tong Liang and Liu Xiao away, Zhao Dezhao sat at his desk and began his routine transcription every night.
He needs to write down what's in his head, and the more time passes, the more he forgets.
He wrote it with a pencil, and when he was cautious, they copied it again with a brush. Although pencil writing is fast, pencil handwriting does not last long.
The same is true for Pei Ge'an, but she is lazy, and soon she only writes down the main points, unlike Zhao Dezhao, who writes down the processes, technologies, and development trends of each industry.
And when she is lazy, she likes to hold Zhao Dezhao's manuscript to read, and many times, she can also add a lot of details.
I would like to say that the four of them are used to the relationship between Zhao Dezhao and Pei Ge'an, even the Wang family and the Chen family.
Because these things written by Zhao Dezhao are also reading materials for them to pass the time. These women can be said to be the ones who know best what he and Pei Ge'an know now.
When the time was approaching, Wang and Chen made an appointment to say good night to Zhao Dezhao.
Since they became pregnant, Zhao Dezhao has not slept with them since he came to Hanjing. It's not that Zhao Dezhao dislikes them for being pregnant, it's that they don't want Zhao Dezhao to sleep with them.
Be cautious, be cautious, be exquisite, that is, they arranged a room, and when they were pregnant and had menstruation, they slept with Zhao Dezhao.
But now Zhao Dezhao hasn't touched them......
On the one hand, he is very busy, and on the other hand, Pei Ge'an is jealous, even if he can't have the same room, she wants Zhao Dezhao to sleep with her.
The arrival of the two of them also means that Zhao Dezhao's work at night is over.
They had already prepared hot water for Zhao Dezhao, whether it was taking a bath or washing his feet, he didn't have to do it himself.
After washing, he always had to practice meditation for an hour in bed, Pei Ge'an didn't pay attention to it originally, but after being told by Chen Shu, he knew that this immortal qi practice technique was very powerful, and she had to practice it for a long time every night.
At the beginning, she always couldn't control the rate of breathing, but Zhao Dezhao taught by example, and now she can also master the breathing rate.
Even the other women are now practicing.
In the morning, Zhao Dezhao continued to practice, but this time it was to exercise his body, practice swordsmanship, pace, and fighting.
After breakfast, Zhao Dezhao basically didn't go to Jinyiwei, and went directly to the ironsmith to work.
Under normal circumstances, this state of herding sheep would definitely make the hearts of Jinyiwei's buddies fly.
However, they knew that Zhao Dezhao was busy in order to make new weapons for them, so they were still full of expectations and did not have any dissatisfaction.
Not only them, but the entire Great Song Dynasty, including several surrounding countries, now know that Zhao Dezhao is developing new weapons in Hanjing.
In 966, it was a year of good weather in the Song Dynasty, and there was no war except for the suppression of bandits in the southwest.
Nan Tang already considered himself a little brother and was afraid of being beaten.
In addition, Li Yu's wife died the year before last, and his mother died last year, and now he is guarding filial piety, and the government is mainly controlled by the talented Xu Xian and Zhang Xun.
The Northern Han in the north had more than enough self-preservation and insufficient attack, and had always relied on the United Liao Dynasty to resist the Song Dynasty.
Now the Liao Dynasty is in chaos, the country is in a mess, and there is no intention of going south at all.
In recent years, the Song Dynasty has been doing well, and it is also because of stable agriculture and the large amount of goods paid by the Southern Tang Dynasty every year that it has supported the rapid expansion of the Song Dynasty today.
After Chai Rong seized the Jianghuai area, the Southern Tang Dynasty submitted to the Song Dynasty, and although it was allied with the Liao Dynasty, it had to pay a large amount of goods to the Song Dynasty every year.
This also caused a huge economic burden on Nantang......
The Southern Tang Dynasty originally straddled the north and south of the Yangtze River, and the economies between the north and south of the Yangtze River were complementary, such as the lack of salt in the south of the Yangtze River, while the salt production in the north of the Yangtze River. After the loss of Huainan, the Southern Tang Dynasty lost an important salt production area, and since then it has to spend huge sums of money to buy salt from the Song Dynasty.
In financial distress, the Southern Tang Dynasty increased taxes, so that there were many complaints.
In today's Southern Tang Dynasty, taxes are charged for giving birth to children, and taxes are charged for drinking water, and there are so many taxes that people feel ridiculous.
For example, if a goose lays two eggs, one of the eggs will have to pay taxes. The willow trees planted by your own family in front of the door also have to pay taxes in the spring.
The people of Jiangnan are full of complaints, and their regime is also unpopular.
This rare quiet time also gave Zhao Dezhao enough time to develop industry.
In May, the winter wheat was harvested, and the seedlings were sown in the paddy fields in the south, and the people were ready to serve again.
Service was indispensable in all dynasties, the people brought their own dry food, which was organized by the imperial court, repaired canals, built roads and bridges, sent grain to the army, and so on.
When there are few things, the people have to contribute a laborer to each family, and they serve for half a month to a month.
There are many things, or when there is a war, the service time is more than two months.
However, it is rarely more than two months, because today's Da Song Dynasty is also divided into families, and basically one or two strong laborers in each family.
They had to go out to work, and they had to bring their own dry food, and the time was too long, and they were afraid that their families would starve to death.
But this time, the people were very happy, because here in Shannan Dongdao, female dependents were allowed to serve instead of serving this time, and they didn't have to bring their own food.
What's more, as long as you are favored by the imperial court, you can stay in Hanjing Mansion and continue to work, and you don't have to go home to farm.
The imperial court not only issued clothes, food and lodging, but also received wages.
For the people, this is not a harsh government, but a move to benefit the people.
Letting the female dependents work not only liberates the strong labor in the family, but also saves them from feeding them and earning money.
Just after the busy farming, the state capitals from all over the country escorted 70,000 women and 30,000 men to Hanjing.
Their arrival has also greatly alleviated the current labor shortage.
In addition to the ironsmith and carpentry workshops, there were more women than men in the other workshops, including the construction sites.
The women of the Song Dynasty were not pampered, and now they are all patriarchal, and women eat less than chickens, get up earlier than chickens, and dry more than cows.
If you want to enter the silk reeling workshop, spinning workshop, and silk workshop, you have to go through selection, and you can only enter with ingenuity.
The second is to enter various processing workshops, as long as you enter these workshops, it means that there is a high possibility to stay here to work and do not need to go home.
The kind of woman who has no brains and can't even count can only do some manual work.
After Zhao Dezhao developed the vertical roll mill, he could only give up this plan, and adopted the most primitive casting method, using the mud fan for initial forming, and then grinding the inner diameter and grinding the outer surface, and finally made a suitable seamless steel pipe.
The advent of this steel pipe, which also represents the most difficult accessory for the musket, has finally taken shape.
