In the treatment of diseases, we must first understand the condition before we can prescribe the right medicine.

Su Song has been the prime minister for more than four years, and what happened to the Great Song Dynasty during this not short period of time?

First of all, the first is that the railway project has been greatly promoted. In addition to the original two main lines, more than a dozen railways have been added, including Jiangnan, and several important railways have also been built.

And the more you do this kind of thing, the more experience you have, the easier it will be to do it.

During Wang Ning'an's tenure, engineering education was promoted, and now it is time to harvest, and a large number of young and capable engineers have joined the construction.

It is also worth mentioning that after owning the railway, it can transfer machinery and equipment over long distances, and Da Song is now able to produce relatively mature high-horsepower tractors, and even steam bulldozers, road rollers and so on......

The combination of many conditions makes the whole road construction different from the original.

When the road was first built, it was filled with human lives, and in addition to consuming materials, each mile also consumed human lives. Now there are basically very few dead people.

This is like a person who has made a lot of effort to earn the first bucket of gold, when he has the first bucket of gold, he doesn't have to be quiet, he doesn't have to get up early and be greedy, he can make a lot of money more easily in a very elegant way!

However, no one can deny the importance of the first bucket of gold!

In the past year, all projects, except for the southwest railway, have been reduced in terms of slaves for several other roads, except for the huge cost of construction between the mountains and mountains.

Millions of slaves have ended their service periods, and they cannot be erased, so they can only enter the labor market, and many mines, workshops, and plantations use slaves in large quantities to save costs.

This is also the reason why Xiao Yu said that the common people think that slaves rob them of their jobs.

On the side of science, it catered to the common people and agitated for the abolition of slavery.

Their abolition of slavery not only abolished slave status, but even repatriated to their original places of origin and expelled from the Great Song Dynasty.

……

"Rat-eyed!"

Wang Ningan said unceremoniously: "These fools don't know how much those slaves who built the railway are worth!" The railway trunk line of the Great Song Dynasty has a preliminary eyebrow, but as for Nanyang, there are still so many landmasses that are wild and need to be developed...... The forerunners had to pay a price, so good slaves should be organized to build roads in the colonies, and eventually build a huge railway network to cover all the land! ”

Wang Ningan's plan is very huge, and of course it is very difficult to implement, but as long as it is done, it will be completely different, and the whole world will be rewritten!

Don't look at Wang Ningan as the prime minister, but he still controls the New Politics Society, and the New Politics Society has more than half of the seats in the council, not to mention the political affairs hall and the six ministries.

Soon, Wang Ning'an's meaning was recognized by most people. Two key directions for road construction have also been determined, one is Liaodong, don't look at the bitter cold in Liaodong, Jurchens are born everywhere, but Liaodong is rich in resources, there are coal and iron, grain, timber, and even gold mines!

In the initial stage of industrial development, raw materials are much more important than manpower, and often a coal area and an iron ore area can give birth to an industrial city.

Build roads, through railways, connect resources in series, and then there will be investment, factories, jobs, and another fatal problem, and it will be solved!

That's right, the population!

The population of the Great Song Dynasty expanded faster than Wang Ning'an's estimates.

Colonization is done all the time, and so is immigration, but no matter how fast the immigration is, it cannot keep up with the rate of population increase.

This is a very complicated issue, and there are several general reasons, all of which are related to Wang Ningan...... The premise of population growth is that there is enough to eat, Wang Ningan many years ago, he promoted Champa rice, planted double cropping rice in the Yangtze River basin, increased production, and later he got grain from overseas, and then, also introduced corn, potatoes and other high-yield crops.

When the three are added together, the more food you eat, the more natural the population swells.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to increase the population to 400 million, but now it is only a little over 200 million, which is quite normal.

It's just that it was reached in such a short time, which caught Wang Ningan off guard, and of course, he is also the culprit...... The implementation of the Juntian Order allowed everyone to have land, and the wealth of the common people was evenly distributed, even if they were poor, they could afford to marry a daughter-in-law.

Moreover, because women were also given land, thousands of years of tradition were completely broken.

The status of women has risen, and there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to be concubines and maids, and they are all vying to be hostesses. The age is the same, the young husband and wife are two, and they have a lot of land, and they have many children, what else can they do besides having children?

It's not enough to just survive, but also to survive, the medical progress of the Great Song Dynasty is also very fast, the infant mortality rate has dropped significantly, there are more births, fewer deaths, and the population has exploded, which is not surprising.

And this time the population explosion started from the baby, almost three years after the peace, the number of people in the Great Song Dynasty will increase by 3 million every year, and last year, it soared to 5 million!

This time and the implementation of the Juntian Order are highly overlapping, and it can be said that Wang Ningan single-handedly created a baby boom.

"Build roads abroad, expand markets, increase investment, absorb labor, and migrate ......," Zhao Shu's eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Master is really immortal, this plan is impeccable, and it can ensure the prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty for decades!"

Wang Ningan said: "Your Majesty has an overreputation, this is not the handiwork of the minister alone, but the blueprint planned by many talented people for the Great Song Dynasty together...... And in the minister's opinion, the changes in the Great Song Dynasty are changing day by day, and it is really difficult to say in the future, no one knows what will happen in a few decades, Your Majesty can't be slack, let alone complacent! ”

This is really heartfelt.

Wang Ningan never even thought that the development of the Great Song Dynasty would be so fast?

After all, it is only by relying on the accumulation of hundreds of years that the West has changed from a pirate to a gentleman, and from a copycat to an original ...... Why does the Great Song Dynasty take decades! Perhaps when Wang Ningan became an old king, until he closed his eyes, he might not be able to see the Great Song Dynasty really enter the industrial age.

But in fact, Wang Ningan miscalculated, he underestimated the speed of the Great Song Dynasty's progress too much.

Now that I think about it, it's understandable.

Industrial development is just a process of investment accumulation, and the volume of the Great Song Dynasty is incomparable, with huge wealth, which is absolutely astronomical when converted into investment.

In addition, there is a large population, and basic education is fully rolled out. Geniuses are born according to the proportion of the population, the more people, the more geniuses, the more popular education, the easier it is to produce more geniuses, with their intelligent brains, develop new technologies, and solve endless problems.

Finally, fake, Wang Ningan is also a traverser, he has strong foresight, he can jump some traps and take fewer detours.

Until now, even Wang Ningan can't predict what the Great Song Dynasty will look like in five or ten years.

In a period of drastic changes, opportunities are endless, and as the Son of Heaven, Zhao Shu is the proudest one.

"Master, please rest assured, the disciple will never be slack, the disciple has already thought about it, and he will continue to recruit in person!"

"Still fighting?"

Wang Ningan was dumbfounded, Zhao Shu was soft and cute when he was a child, when did he become a militant?

Seeing the master's look of surprise, Zhao Shu immediately explained, "The disciple feels that once there is no war, internal contradictions will emerge one after another, which will be a headache...... The disciples don't have the courage to deal with these things, so they can only take shortcuts, lay more territory, open up more business opportunities, and let the big guys be busy making money, and the world will not be chaotic. ”

What a novel idea!

Zhao Shu said proudly: "Master, the disciple has already chosen the target, this is it!" ”

He reached for the map on the table and pointed to a triangular peninsula!

It's Tianzhu!

That is, India!

"I'm going to fight here!" Zhao Shu was particularly determined, he smiled and said: "Master, the disciple remembers that he wanted to attack here many years ago, and now that the time is ripe, let the disciple fulfill this wish for the master!" ”

Marching into India!

A good move, of course.

India has fertile land, a large population, and most importantly, enough waste...... In the face of wave after wave of conquerors, it has always been to surrender on its knees, and even to get rid of the British Empire, it is also by non-violent non-cooperation.

It's so weird, if you don't start, it's simply unreasonable!

It is not difficult to fight India, it is easier to control India, and if the method is used well, only a few thousand civil servants will be needed, and there will be no garrison, which will save a lot of money.

The thin skin and filling are easy to topple!

No wonder Zhao Shu set his eyes on Tianzhu, he said excitedly: "Master, now that we are ready, after we defeat Seljuk, we will send some cavalry south to seize the northern mountain pass of Tianzhu." In addition, in recent years, along the coast of Tianzhu, we have also established trading bases, and even armed merchants. Use the navy, land and water, within a year, take down Tianzhu, as long as Tianzhu is occupied, my Great Song Dynasty will have countless slaves, and also have the most vast market in addition to the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Thousands of years of hegemony, far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties." Zhao Shu was emotional, and swore loudly, "I read history books, and the person I admire the most is the hussar general Huo Quai!" No matter the emperor or the general, after a hundred years, it will be a piece of loess, and even the tomb and corpse capital may not be found. Emperor Wu of Wei was worried that the tomb would be dug up, so he set up a grave of doubt, but I thought otherwise, Emperor Wu Wei's martial arts had long been written in the annals of history, so why should I be nostalgic for a skin! ”

"I am lucky to inherit my father's inheritance, and the soldiers are good enough to eat, so I should carry a three-foot sword and run rampant in the world...... If you can lay down Tianzhu, it is a feat that has not been achieved in all dynasties, which is enough to comfort the ancestors and ancestors. ”

Zhao Shu said generously, but Wang Ningan frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, although Tianzhu is not difficult to fight, the minister thinks that it is better for Your Majesty not to recruit in person."

"Why? Doesn't the master support the disciple either? ”

"Your Majesty, Tianzhu has a very hot climate, which is very different from the Great Song Dynasty, and it is easy to adapt to the water and soil. The minister thought that it was best to send a general, enough to take down Tianzhu! ”

Zhao Shu hesitated slightly, but the teacher's meaning was not easy to refute.

"Let the disciple think about it!"
