Chapter 61: Preparations (I)

On the seventh day of the first month of April, the first emperor died on the seventh day, and a group of imperial historians finally gave the first emperor a nickname, the full name of the nickname is extremely long, as "the emperor of the body of heaven and the law and the way of extreme merit and virtue of the gods, the saint Wu Ruizhe and the Ming filial piety emperor", and the temple number is determined to be "Renzong!" ”

It was also on this day that the new emperor Zhao Shu officially ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world.

However, what makes people feel funny is that it is obviously a major event of the emperor's death, but the whole world suddenly became lively, like a New Year's holiday.

In other places, Xin Xi didn't know, the only thing he knew was that the entire Bianjing City, a total of 300,000 sheep, was slaughtered on this day.

From the scholars to the common people, everyone has mutton to eat, even the one on the side of the road is called Huazi, and you can also get a few pieces of mutton leg bones.

The world is in harmony, and the people are not hungry, but it is because the emperor died.

It's ridiculous!

Of course, Xin Xi didn't laugh, because what he saw was different from what those low-level scholars and doctors saw.

For example, what he saw at this time was what the Shadow Guard Army had reported, the Gyeonggi two-way transfer envoy complained that the first emperor and the later affairs were too grand, and Bianjing City could even eat mutton by calling Huazi, but Chengdu Mansion, Jiangning Mansion, and even more remote places were already eating tree roots.

Why? Because of 300,000 sheep and all kinds of food!

Although Bianjing is relatively convenient by water and land, the consumption on the road is too much.

Moreover, although the lower-level petty officials don't dare to be greedy, you can't help it if you quietly take some things.

For example, if there is a sheep missing, and people have to report that the sheep ran away on the way, what can you do? Can you still go and get that sheep back and ask him, did you run away or were you run?!

How is this possible?!

In short, Xin Xi is very upset now, he once thought that he had created so many industries, and he had already done something very remarkable, but what was the result, what was the result?!

Now it seems that the industries he created are just a drop in the bucket for the entire Great Song Dynasty, and they are useless at all!

Even if those industries really swept the entire Great Song Dynasty and began to export abroad, there was still no benefit to the livelihood of the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Because, this is only an industry that is beneficial to the country, not to the people at all, because the state has never been equal to the people!

However, he can't deny the state, because if he can't even benefit the country, how can he benefit the people?

Many people may think that there is something wrong with this principle, but in fact, if the country perishes, it will be difficult for the people to even live.

This is also why the motherland has been spending a lot of money to aid Africa, this is to ensure the existence of the country, only when the country is strong, can we create the prosperity of the people!

It's a pity that Xin Zhen doesn't dare to agree with this theory, in his opinion, the people and the country are equally important!

Suppose a country becomes strong, but its people are indifferent to it, then this strength is nothing but nothing.

The so-called unity, the so-called, with the jade town square, can be for the country!

Jade is a good thing, and good things can be used to create a country, which is a truth that the ancestors knew from the time of making words.

Therefore, Xin Xi plans to put down some unrelated industries for the time being, but to start doing something that is really for the people's livelihood!

The current situation of Da Song is really much more difficult than Xin Xi originally thought.

It depends on his own height, and different things are seen at different heights!

In the past, what he could see was the country's financial problems, and the army's problems caused by the emphasis on civilian affairs over military force.

However, at this time, what he saw was the issue of people's livelihood.

Because, after taking over the Shadow Guard, he really knew that the prosperity of Bianjing was only because he was the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, deducting the four capitals, deducting the coastal areas, and there were still many places in the Northern Song Dynasty that were in dire straits.

To sum up, the problems faced by the Great Song Dynasty are as follows:

First, there are border disputes, the high annual coins, and even if there are coins, there are still large-scale foreign invasions.

Second, the low productivity will not exceed 300 stone per mu.

Thirdly, the gradual solidification of the class, and the upward channel of many people at the bottom has been eliminated.

Fourth, the people's will fluctuates, and in the south and the north, there are those who plot against the enemy and want to rebel, but the difference is that most of those in the south who have rebel intentions want to defend themselves, because the official army always hastily handles things in the face of Li Rizun's invasion.

And the people in the north who have rebellious intentions are trying in vain to take the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to lazy Liao...

Looking at the intelligence materials sent from all over the country, Xin Xi really felt that even the emperor didn't worry so much about himself.

For example, now, the information about the palace sent by Thirty-six, Zhao Shu, this guy, has been busy feeling sorry for the 300,000 sheep in the past few days, and just after feeling sorry for the sheep, this guy has started to think of ways to crown his children as kings and princesses. Didn't even think about the general trend of the country at all?!

Well, you can't blame Zhao Shu for this, you have to blame the old wife of the Empress Dowager Cao, who will not let go of power.

Sure enough, he is in a supporting position, but he has to work hard for the other four Sabbys?!

Standing up with a stunned face, looking at the carefree Adam and Eve outside the courtyard, Xin Zhen was a little distracted for a moment.

Yes, why do you think about it so much, the more you think about it, the more you find that everything is screwed into garbled, and you can't do it.

In the same way, I don't want to do anything, just do one thing at a time, maybe I can cut through the mess inadvertently?!

Rubbing his brows, Xin Xi looked back at Thirty-Six and said, "Thirty-six, notify me, UU Reading Books .net Let the Shadow Guards in charge of the south go to Li Rizun's side to find out if there is any rice with a particularly high yield!" ”

"Particularly high-yielding rice?!" Thirty-six doubts.

Xin Zhen nodded: "Yes, in addition, send a few search boats to the East China Sea, and after Dongying, we will continue to go east, and tell those who are willing to go that Xin and him will pay for a settlement!" If he can find a land farther away than Dongying and bring back the crops there, Xin will personally ask for credit for him, at least make him the lord of the Pillar Kingdom! ”

"This ...... There is still land to the east?! Thirty-six was full of disbelief, Dongying had been there once three years ago, and further east, but it was the vast sea!

Xin Xi chuckled: "Naturally, it depends on whether anyone can find it, if it can be found, bring back the crops over there, and no one in my Great Song Dynasty will have no one who can't eat enough!" ”

Thirty-six was full of solemnity, and nodded solemnly: "I'll arrange it!" ”

Wanguan settlement fee, not to mention the Shadow Guard Army, is the people, and there will be many people who are willing to work hard!

Wait, maybe you can take the opportunity to send Xin Er Xin San out?!
