Chapter 762: The foundation is laid
On Hebei East Road, the engineering battalion built a cement factory on a large scale and recruited a group of apprentice workers.
The process is very simple and can be operated with a little training, mainly with clay and lime weight configuration.
Around the new city, Yang Lin gathered a group of people who were skilled in technology and sent them to Bianliang, preparing to make a detailed strategy and distribute it to the provinces.
"As long as the demand is strong enough, there will be innovation in technology", Yang Lin couldn't help but sigh.
The land of Daxia doubled, and it wanted to build a city to consolidate, and then it gave birth to an engineering battalion, and under the stimulation of a large number of projects, ordinary soil was not enough, and cement came into being.
Yang Lin directly ordered Bai Shizhong to come to the new city and prepare for the next move.
Ten days later, Bai Shizhong rushed to Xincheng with Song Jiang and Fan Zongyin, the two prime ministers of Mingtang, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households.
In the beautiful mountain stream camp, I saw the king of a country, who had just left Bianliang for more than a month, and the official family looked better than before, and it seemed that he was doing well.
Bai Shizhong stepped forward to salute, and Yang Lin said with a smile: "It's hard work to let you come." ”
"Eat the king's fortune, worry about the king, this is a matter within the minister's share, let alone hard work."
Yang Lin nodded and said, "This time, I hurriedly ordered you to come here because I had something important to discuss. How much was the tax paid by the treasury last year? ”
Bai Shizhong was like a housekeeper about this, and said without thinking: "365 million yuan." ”
Yang Lin nodded secretly, meditating in his heart, when Zhao Ji was at the beginning, it was 130 million yuan a year at most.
This is already a record-breaking, and the Great Song Dynasty does have something unique in finance.
You must know that the Ming Dynasty in later generations has never reached this number, only less than half.
And with so many trade routes opened up, it is not surprising that taxes will be doubled.
Fan Zongyin looked at the official family squinting and nodding, and felt in his heart for a while, won't he spend a lot of money again?
He hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, bent down and hugged his fists and said: "Official, it is true that 300 million yuan was taxed last year, but the expenses are also large. Because of the border war, more than 200 million yuan was spent, as well as all kinds of culture, education, housing, service money, pensions... The total expenditure is no less than 300 million. The taxes collected have not been spent much, and they have only made up for the deficit by issuing bonds to the sleeve building. ”
"But to make up for the shortfall, after all, you owe money to others, and the court actually owes money to the people, what kind of system."
Yang Lin shook his head while listening, disapproving, and said: "The bond is used for this, if the people don't trust the court, no one will rush to buy it." This time I am ready to build a road! ”
When the officials below heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, how much can it cost to build roads.
Yang Lin said with a smile: "In the whole Great Xia, build roads and cement roads together!" ”
Bai Shizhong and Fan Zongyin glanced at each other, and they both saw the sadness in each other's eyes, it's over... I worked hard to save some money and was ready to redeem the bonds, and this time it was all over.
Wouldn't it cost a lot of money to stop paving the road entirely?
If it is said that it is inevitable to spend money on war, but this road construction is really necessary.
Yang Lin saw that they had been frightened, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the road is taken step by step, and the road is the same." Let's first build a few prosperous business roads with many pedestrians. As for budget spending, we should continue to issue bonds. ”
It is taken from the people for the people, and then the convenience brought by the people through the road feeds back to the court.
Yang Lin's steps were too big, and he scared his prime minister's team enough, and only one person was very calm.
Song Jiang twisted his beard and said: "What the official family said is very reasonable, and building roads is a major event that is meritorious in the present generation, beneficial in the present and in the future. However, before building the road, Weichen believes that there is one more thing that must be done as soon as possible. ”
"Gongming is very good, tell me what is going on." Yang Lin said approvingly.
"Bandits!" Song Jiang Zhenyi said: "In the former Great Song Dynasty, bandits were rampant, only Weichen knew, and there were countless strong Liang bandits on the ground in Shandong. These people are the party to the disaster, and they love to rob the passing merchants, and if they do not do this harm, they will inevitably cause accidents when building roads. ”
"Now the governors of the provinces, who control the military power and the soldiers and soldiers under their control, are all in charge of military affairs, and have nothing else to do. Why don't you give an order to exterminate the stubborn thieves in the provinces, so as to ensure that the people are safe and secure when they are on the road. ”
Yang Lin's expression was a little strange, he lowered his head and muttered a few words, "What Song Gongming said is very true, you must be very familiar with the bandits, and you are the best candidate." It is up to you to take charge of the nationwide crackdown on bandits, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies will cooperate with you to oversee the suppression of bandits in Daxia. ”
"When necessary, Gongming can leave Beijing and go to several provinces where bandits are seriously troubled, and personally supervise the plan to suppress bandits. From the thieves to the thieves, all of them will be dealt with strictly! ”
Song Jiang Ji said: "The ministers will live up to the trust of the officials, plough the court and sweep the holes, and sweep away the thieves!" ”
What the Great Song Dynasty left to Yang Lin, in addition to the rich and prosperous Bianliang, was actually just getting rid of extreme poverty in the local area.
When Zhao Ji was in power, countless thieves occupied the mountains and forests, gathered to claim the king, plundered merchants, and broke the counties at every turn, killing and injuring nothing.
These people are ruthless and vicious, and their methods are ruthless, and they are a harm to the people.
In the script, there are many righteous men and heroes, which are pure fabrications.
In fact, bandits are bandits, their ruthlessness and viciousness, destroying human nature, robbing homes and houses, and killing whole families at every turn, which is not something ordinary people can imagine.
In addition to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, there is no greater harm to the people than this.
Song Jiang is in charge, the whole country is suppressing bandits, Yang Lin has a spectrum in his heart.
Song Gongming is better than a confidant and knows his opponent, and as an official in the small county of Yuncheng, he must have come into contact with a lot of thieves.
"I have made up my mind to build the road, and there is no need to discuss it again. After returning to Beijing, he will have to come up with a practical plan. I have an idea, which you can also refer to, that is, first choose the section from Bianliang to the Daimyo's Mansion and pave a road to get out. ”
Yang Lin was arbitrary, and did not give his courtiers a chance to object, his prestige was there, and Fan Zongyin and Bai Shizhong did not dare to oppose it again.
This will be a big project no less than reclamation in Liaodong, maybe Yang Lin has done too much over the years.
The treasury is empty, the money is not enough, so bonds are issued.
This method is not accepted by the civil officials who are in the middle of the envelope, but Yang Lin knows it.
Only when the infrastructure is well laid can we go further and bring Daxia to the next level.
Otherwise, it is just a simple repetition of the old things of the dynasty and the reincarnation of the change of the dynasty.
Today's dynasties and dynasties have never made the same great achievements as Qin Shi Huang's reign, and no emperor has brought another qualitative change in Chinese civilization.
Even if the old rules are mature, they must be broken, and the golden mean and Yang Xue are fundamentally incompatible!
Yang Xue has always been determined to forge ahead, pioneering and innovative.
At this time, grit your teeth, lay a good foundation, and wait until a few years later to take off, and then you will be more hearty.
