The sky was overcast, and there was goose feather snow, and the ground was slowly covered with heavy snow, and the mountains were all over the wilderness, only snow white. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cangzhou is already a world of ice and snow, the winter of Cangzhou and the winter of the northwest are really different, if you really want to compare, the northwest is called bitter cold, but the cold of Cangzhou is still a life.

As soon as the cold winter comes, people's activities have become less, most of them gossip around the stove, drink a few glasses of wine, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the people's lives are still rich, at least in this era of peace, the general ordinary people, the problem of food and clothing has been generally solved, of course, the quality of food and clothing is not comparable to that of later generations.

Another important cause of national turmoil in an agrarian society is natural disasters. The Northern Song Dynasty has also been blessed by God, and in its history of more than 100 years, it has not encountered a real major natural disaster. This also has a beneficial impact on social stability.

Thinking of such a relatively stable and prosperous society is also one of the main reasons why Song Huizong can be unscrupulous, and it is also the main reason why the court can be chaotic. Even if there is a rebellion, it will not bring fundamental damage to the country.

Another example is the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was really a natural and man-made disaster, which overwhelmed the decaying Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Zhi rode slowly to the school field outside the city, in this world, only Zheng Zhi knows the crisis of this dynasty, and only Zheng Zhi knows what this dynasty is about to face.

The Chinese farming people and the nomadic fishing and hunting peoples have never been reconciled, and there has never been a real victory, starting from the Xiongnu, after the Xiongnu, there are Xianbei people, after the Xianbei people, there are Rouran people, after the Rouran people, after the Hui people, after the Hui, after the Khitan, there are Jurchens, after the Jurchens, after the Mongols, there are Manchus.

Did the Han Chinese win? The Han people have won countless victories and failed countless times, but the Han people have always been there, there were times when civilization flourished, and there were times when civilization declined, but civilization was never extinct, and in the end it was culture that prevailed over everything.

The really miserable people are the people Zheng Zhi saw on horseback, these are living people, these people are about to face life and death.

Zheng Zhi used to just want to keep his family safe and protect the safety of the people around him, so he wanted to control his own power, and he didn't think much else.

Today's Zheng Zhi has come into contact with the national court, Tong Guan Cai Jing, and these soldiers and ordinary people, so he really has the concept of a family and country in this era, and he needs more strength, more strength, and more powerful military.

Why? What is the goal of all this?

Build a new country? Establish a new regime? Solving these endless problems for more than two thousand years?

The Han people themselves still have to fight, no matter what the reason for the Han people's infighting, in fact, in the final analysis, there is only one reason, that is, resources!

In an agrarian society, when productivity is low, the population skyrockets, and land is the problem. Natural and man-made disasters mean that land and grain must be robbed.

This is just like in later generations, people can fight for a bus seat, that is, there are more people and fewer resources.

What to end it all with? What to use to end these sorrows of Chinese civilization?

Zheng Zhi is thinking about this answer, in fact, there are only two things, technology and land resources!

The reason why the Chinese civilization always has to face the threat of nomadic fishing and hunting people is because the grain cannot be transported to the depths of the grassland, and because of the difficulties in fighting, the two legs are not as far as the four legs after all, and it is also because of the disparity in the combat effectiveness of farmers and hunters. These are problems that technology can solve.

The problem of resources, that is the problem of land, the world is very big, this is not wrong, Zheng Zhi knows it in his heart.

Science and technology really don't make much of a difference for one person, and Zheng Zhi is not a scientist or engineer, even if he knows that oil can make cars run, it doesn't really mean much, even if he knows that a rifle can beat a spear, it doesn't make much sense.

Zheng Zhi slowly figured out some questions, seemingly simple questions, but in fact they are not so simple.

Looking up at the snow-covered land of Cangzhou, it seems that he is thinking farther, but he is also thinking right, and it should be the time for Zheng Zhi to start a plan for the future and his own development.

As for the result, after all, it is still to be handed over to time and fate.

Zheng Zhi suddenly turned back to Pei Xuan and said, "In the future, this wine will only be produced, and it will not be shipped out." ”

When Pei Xuan heard this, he was naturally puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "Xianggong, this... So what happens after the wine is produced? ”

"Now this wine has made a name for itself in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and there is a lot of demand in various places, if it is not shipped out, naturally someone will come to buy it, and if the state capital of the world comes to Cangzhou to buy wine, there will be great profits. Take another caravan, publicize more, ask for wine, and then go to Cangzhou to traffick. Zheng Zhi explained.

The reason is naturally so, if all the caravans from all over the world come to Cangzhou, Cangzhou can develop, from taxation to infrastructure, to people's income, it will also rise, and the benefits will naturally be much more than that of transporting them abroad.

The flow of people is a business opportunity, and Cangzhou will also make significant progress in the entire business atmosphere.

Zheng Zhi is even more thinking about improving the production process, lime production of spirits is really cumbersome, distillation is the right way, how to carry out effective distillation, also need talents. Zheng Zhizhi provides the most basic concept, and in the end, it is up to craftsmen to solve problems.

Pei Xuan didn't understand what he heard, but he also knew that his father-in-law was not talking nonsense, so he said: "I am afraid that it will be difficult to squeeze the wine for a few months." ”

Zheng Zhi naturally knew this question in his heart, but he didn't answer it, and said: "At the beginning of spring, Cangzhou should reclaim more new land and build more ditches, even if it is a ditch for reason, all of them should be renovated to ensure the irrigation of the fields. ”

This is to ensure the food supply of Cangzhou, Hebei is not as good as the northwest, it has been a major production area since ancient times, and the infrastructure construction must naturally keep up, and the ditch is also an important infrastructure. Most of the people themselves can only be responsible for their own land, and the real water diversion canal still needs to be done by the government.

To reclaim new land, ditches are naturally the most important guarantee.

Grain is prolific, and Zheng Zhi can buy grain even if he buys grain. Agrarian reform is not something that can be talked about today.

"Xianggong, like this, the expenditure is huge, this is the matter of the prefect's yamen, we will do it, it is really... Pei Xuan heard Zheng Zhi's words, and naturally admired Zheng Zhi in his heart, but he also considered practical issues more.

"You do what I say, it's naturally good that the prefect's yamen can help, if the prefect's yamen doesn't help, we will do it ourselves." Zheng Zhi's thinking pattern at this time was naturally not something Pei Xuan could think of, and he also knew that the prefect's yamen was not capable of doing this, as long as the prefect's yamen could fully support himself at this time, not to disobey the yang and the yin, and not to become resistance, Zheng Zhi would be satisfied.

"Xianggong, at the beginning of spring next year, I will arrange these things by myself." Pei Xuan replied with a serious face.

Zheng Zhi shook his body, shook off the snow on the big cloud, waved his hand and said: "This year will start, and we will do it as soon as spring next year, otherwise the time is urgent, and I am afraid it will be too late." ”

Pei Xuan nodded his hand, indicating that he received the order.

Wait until next year, when Song Jiang returns to Liangshan, Yunzhou, that is, when Liangshan shows his talents.

Zheng Zhi slowly entered the barracks, the soldiers were still training hard, and Zheng Zhi had to go to the barracks every day for routine inspections to ensure that the blade in his hand was always sharp.

Zheng Zhi has never had much reverence for this court, if you really want to talk about the Great Song Dynasty, Zheng Zhi has only one person in his heart, that is, Tong Guan, Tong Guan is also the only link between Zheng Zhi and the Zhao Song court.

Zheng Zhi really didn't want to fight, he would have so much fate and such a deep relationship with this famous traitorous eunuch in history.

However, Zheng Zhi still has to rely on this court to develop step by step after all.

It was only at this time that Zheng Zhi's ambition really had a clear direction, and Zheng Zhi had real ambition.
