On a sunny morning, the spring sun finally began to exude its amazing power, and a cold spring became weak in front of it, and even the originally unbridled wind could not resist it and quietly disappeared into the wilderness.

The snow and ice began to dissipate under the action of the sun, but there was still a part of the ice that had not yet melted, turning into ice water that formed a swamp-like mud puddle on the mud floor, and once a person stepped on it, he either slipped or fell down to his ankle.

But in such a good weather, Zhao Zhen stood on the city wall and frowned, and reported that the 200,000 troops of the Liao people had all entered the territory of Xijin Mansion, and they were in Changping, Juyongguan and Deshengkou in the shape of a zigzag to help each other, and the south of Xijin Mansion was in front of him.

As long as the Liao people enter the Xijin Mansion, Zhao Zhen will no longer have to hide, even if the Liao people's secret agents find that they have not died, there is no way to send the news out, at this time, the Xijin Mansion has been under martial law, and no one can easily enter and exit this fortress-like city, and even if the Liao people get their own news now, it is impossible to withdraw the 200,000 troops that have been worked hard to assemble, right?

The various signs of the palace before made Xijin Mansion have a certain amount of turmoil, after all, such a big anomaly and all kinds of gossip make people have to guess the worst, and the land of Yanyun seems to be poisonous to the Great Song Emperor, Emperor Taizong has been defeated twice, and it is not surprising that His Majesty is assassinated here today......

Zhao Zhen's appearance is of course to stabilize the military and the people's hearts, the two seem insignificant, but they have a vital role in the city defense of Xijin Mansion, when Zhao Zhen came out of the palace of Xijin Mansion in broad daylight, the fanfare of Huang Lu's big battle, and Zhao Zhen in a military uniform appeared in front of people's eyes, the atmosphere of the entire Xijin Mansion was ignited again, this Great Song Emperor broke the curse of Yan Yun, is the real son of destiny!

Although Zhao Zhen's time in Xijin Mansion is not very long, the things he does are big things for Xijin Mansion!

The construction of cement roads, the exemption of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the reduction of agricultural taxes, the appropriate increase in commercial taxes at the same time to open more Song Dynasty goods into the city, the construction of markets, even the children's schools and academies are in the holy decree of the official family, the charcoal money sent to the old people at the end of the year and the fields rewarded to the lonely old are all remembered by the people of Xijin Mansion.

The current Xijin Mansion is completely different from the original Liao rule under the Xijin Mansion, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty opened a large number of shops here, absorbing the unemployed people in the city, and the emergence of the factory is the basis for stabilizing the Xijin Mansion, with a factory means that a large number of labor is needed, and the idle people of the land in such a house have a great digestion, and the result is that everyone has something to do, and everyone has wages.

The people who were trembling and barely making ends meet gradually became stable and wealthy, all of which were carried out under the leadership of Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, who would not be worried about the good of the Zhao Song official family?

Zhao Zhen is to use the simplest way to buy the hearts of the people, so that the largest group can gain benefits at the same time, they will support themselves, if you ask now who is most unwilling to see Xijin Mansion conquered by the Liao? There is no doubt that it must be the people of Xijin Mansion, and at the same time, such a prosperous and wealthy Great Song Dynasty of Xijin Mansion will not let him lose it again.

The old city walls of the province have been strengthened into the inner city wall, and the outer city has begun to build a new outer city, and with the increasing number of people pouring into the city, the original city of the city can no longer accommodate the people who come to the city.

The people who have just arrived in Xijin Mansion will be temporarily conscripted as labor, and the way to save them is very simple, the people who come to Xijin Mansion will either not be able to live in their hometown, or they will feel unsafe in other places, then there are only two ways for you to enter Xijin Mansion, one is to participate in the construction of the city wall, the court will eat and live, and there will be wages, and the other is to spend money to hire people to help you build the city wall......

The construction speed of the outer city is called a fast, and the cement transported from the Great Song Dynasty is far from enough, and the most effective way is to build a cement factory in Xijin Province, so the shrewd businessmen saw a new opportunity to make money......

Zhao Zhen hated to use his natural imperial power to order the people, after all, the things that he was unwilling to do always made people feel that there was a lack of seriousness and carving, and the construction of Xijin Mansion was completely led by the emperor, the merchants participated voluntarily, and the people were willing to pay, and all three parties got what they wanted.

Zhao Zhen got a strong city wall, and the merchants got money from Zhao Zhen, even if the construction of the city wall did not need so much cement, the cement factory could use the excess cement in other places, and even sell it to ordinary people, and the people saved money through the construction of the city wall.

The stability of a city is inseparable from its employment opportunities, people are busy working and making money every day, who has the heart to cause trouble? Of course, the more money you pay for work, the higher the level of consumption in the province.

People who have worked hard all day naturally have the right to enjoy the leisure time in the evening, so the night market in Sijin Province has become a good place to relax, and the business of Sijin Province has also flourished...... As a result, the factory's products were not only exported to other places but also converted into domestic sales, and the basic commercial system of the province was established.

Peng Qi's careful leader Zhao Zhen inspected the city wall, and when he saw the stunned expression of the official family, he showed a silly smile, it turned out that the official family was also stunned by the magnificence of the city wall, and he also had this expression when he first saw it!

"These are all built by craftsmen and people? The officers and men in the army did not help? ”

Looking at Zhao Zhen's surprised expression, Peng Qi replied with a smile: "Qiqi official, none of my Song Dynasty soldiers participated, but I just made a little suggestion, you look at this horse face wall and female wall, that is called a stocky, the entire city wall is all internal rammed earth, covered with masonry, and finally covered with a layer of cement reinforcement, the last general has tried to take the eight-ox crossbow, five hundred steps away, with ten percent of the strength without entering!" 300 steps into the head of the gun......"

The city wall of such a complex and large amount of work took so little time, which really subverted Zhao Zhen's cognition, and he turned to Peng Qi and asked, "Then why is it so fast?" ”

Peng Qi's expression became serious and said: "The people of Xijin Mansion support the prestige of Your Majesty, and there are often people or laborers who stay awake at night and work day and night, and at most tens of thousands of people participate in it......

Zhao Zhen was really surprised, tens of thousands of people participated in the construction of the city wall, this is really a miracle in the history of engineering, this is not the Great Wall, but an ordinary city wall, the reason is probably because of the people's desire to protect their homes and the protection of a better life.

People are like this, once they define something as to be guarded with their lives, they are willing to pay even the greatest price.
