Chapter 50 System Upgrades

After making a lot of money, it was rare, Xiang'er went to the night market to buy some mutton and came back and made a hearty dinner.

This was the first dinner Xin Xi had in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was almost moved to tears.

After eating, they each went to sleep, Xin Xi lay on the bed, and began to plan the next thing.

Tomorrow, the 3,000 acres of fertile land, as well as the 6,000 stone grain promised by Dafang, and the forest deed of 50,000 acres of mountain forests on the northern slope will be officially handed over.

This is the difference between the Great Song Dynasty and the Sui and Tang dynasties, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the tenant is the landlord's private property, and in the Song Dynasty, the relationship between the tenant and the landlord is more of an employment relationship, and the village is more of an equal relationship with the landlord (specifically refer to the Water Margin Zhujiazhuang).

This is different from what is said in history textbooks, which say that from China to the Ming Dynasty, the emergence of 'mechanics contributing and machine owners contributing' in the coastal areas can be regarded as the beginning of employment relations.

However, in fact, the Song Dynasty was the era that attached the most importance to commerce, and it was also the earliest era of the germination of capitalism.

Because Song Taizu was worried that the military generals would come to a yellow robe like him, he didn't pay attention to force, and if he didn't pay attention to force, he couldn't do the border countries. It's a dead knot.

Zhao Kuangyin thought, why did the Liao people go south? Why did Western Xia want to hit the Central Plains every day? At the end of the day, it's those guys who want the benefits!

In this case, let's make money with anger, don't fight, what do you want to be a brother's reward for you.

Therefore, there is the Song generation, since Taizu, who believed that everything in the world, whether it is border peace or internal stability, can be purchased with money and achieved through buying and selling.

Taizu even set up a "stake sealing warehouse" outside the treasury in order to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, preparing to save enough money to buy back the sixteen states of Yanyun, and then, Taizong's Northern Expedition ruined Taizu's family. After that, Taizong also began to believe in spending money to buy peace, and this habit gradually became the purpose of the Song Dynasty.

In fact, that's exactly what they did. Song externally, every year millions of coins, in exchange for border peace, at least after the alliance of Zhenzong Yuanyuan, with the year of the coins to raise the Liao State, the Liao and Song Dynasty did not break out in a hundred years, until the Song Huizong period, Zhao Ji this kid did not know if the brain was pumped, this joint Jurchen to destroy the honest Liao State, and then it was embarrassing to find that the Jurchens had too much appetite, and the price in exchange for peace changed from 300,000 to half of the country.

Internally, the Song Dynasty implemented high-paid officials to eliminate corruption, and reduced taxes for the people.

The money was not enough, and there was no way to reduce expenditure, so the official family planned to open source.

Open source this, the Song Dynasty did the best, undoubtedly the Maritime Silk Road, the Song Dynasty sea ships already have the size of the flagship of Columbus to discover the New World - 34 meters long, 10.5 meters wide deck, 3.75 meters draft, displacement 454 tons, deadweight 200 tons! And this ship was just an ordinary one in the Song Dynasty, and it was five hundred years earlier than Columbus!

With such a large ship that is ahead of the times, with a compass, it can be said that in addition to the Americas and Oceania, the fleet of the Northern Song Dynasty has already run all the places on the earth that can live for people.

But it is not enough to make money from overseas trade, and the cost of raising officials, raising soldiers, and supporting the Liao State and Western Xia in the Song Dynasty is really amazing.

Since it is not enough, then continue to open source, so, starting from Taizu, the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty have openly allowed and even directly encouraged officials to do business, Fan Zhongyan has made money in business to make up for expenses, and Yue Fei has an annual income of 1.5 million yuan in business to support the Yue family's army! Therefore, in the Great Song Dynasty, the boundaries between Shinong and industry have long been gone, and some families even have a clear division of labor, with the father and brother doing business, and the rest of the children studying and becoming officials. It can be seen that the status of merchants has gradually become equal to that of scholars.

Because of this, there are characters similar to white gloves, who take care of business for dignitaries and nobles, earn family wealth, and make the last fig leaf for scholars for these people with extremely high status, so as to show that they are still scholars, not businessmen.

And business is indeed a fast track to prosperity and strength, at least the annual income of the Great Song Dynasty has increased more than six times from Taizu to the present, and the population has exceeded 100 million!

Xin Xi thought about what he had learned in the past few days, and smiled slightly, no wonder Joseph Needham said that if he could choose the era and place of his birth, he would choose the Song Dynasty in China.

This is indeed the most beautiful era!

Therefore, Xin Xi must guard this era and this strong civilization!

Closing his eyes, Xin Xi was about to check the reputation value, but when he saw the reputation value, he was stunned.

Fame: 154546

One hundred and fifty-four thousand five hundred and forty-six points?! Equates to one hundred and fifty-four search attempts?!

I'll go, from today onwards, Lao Tzu will even use the system to search for what to eat!

How to make toothpaste, shampoo, glue, lighters, cigarettes, airplanes, artillery, tanks, he can start to get started!

Great Song, rejoice! You're about to take a leap forward!

When he was lewd, a discordant voice suddenly sounded in his head.

"Ding, the reputation value of the host is detected to exceed 100,000 points, and the system upgrade function is triggered, do you choose to upgrade?"

Upgrade?

Can this thing be updated?!

After thinking about it cautiously, Xin Xi asked, "After the upgrade, has anything changed?" ”

"Friendly reminder, the current system is in the primary version, you can search only the primary knowledge points, after upgrading, you will open the intermediate knowledge points, and a template is attached!"

"Template? What templates are there?! Xin Xi asked curiously.

"Lottery template, after upgrading, the host can draw by consuming reputation points!"

!!!

Lottery?!

You asked me to draw a lottery for someone who has bought a lottery ticket for three years and hasn't even won five dollars?!

Let's talk nonsense.

"Is there any difference between elementary and intermediate knowledge?" Xin Zhen turned around and continued to ask the key points.

"The hierarchical division of knowledge points is divided by the degree to which the knowledge point changes the world, for example, soap changes the world CD is low, that is, the primary knowledge point, as for the intermediate knowledge point, the host has not been involved, and it cannot be exemplified."

Your sister!

Forget it, the intermediate knowledge points are probably gunpowder and the like, right? Although even if those high-tech production methods are put out, most of them can't do it, but Shen Kuo, a big scientist, is here, what if Shen Kuo has a way?

Even Shen Kuo can only look dumbfounded, after upgrading, isn't there a lottery function?

Lottery tickets aren't the same as lucky draws, are they?! It shouldn't take so much luck to be right...

"Then level up!" Xin Zhen's face was full of indifference.

"The host confirms the upgrade, consumes 100,000 reputation points, the upgrade begins, and the upgrade progress ...... 0.1 percent ......"

"What did you say?!" Xin Zhen rolled over and jumped up from the bed: "Consume 100,000 reputation points?!" ”

"I'll go to the nineteenth generation of your ancestors, uncle, is it easy for me to earn some prestige?!" Xin Zhenwu's face was full of mania.

"I@*......$*@......"

"Eleven Lang?" Thirty-six's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Xin Xi was embarrassed for a while: "It's okay, it's okay, you rest early." ”

Thirty-six paused slightly, and there was a warm feeling in his heart: "Yes, Eleven Lang will call me if he has something, and Thirty-six can arrive immediately." ”

"Yes, yes. Hurry up and go to bed, tomorrow will be more trouble! Xin Zhen was a little impatient.

"Whoa!" Thirty-six solemnly replied and left.

"Oh" is the word that the Shadow Guard will use only after allegiance!

It's a pity that Xin Zhen didn't know at all, he closed his eyes and stared at the huge book cover in his mind.

Fame: 4546

Nima, return to the pre-liberation period overnight!

From now on, I have to run for prestige again.
