Three years later, as long as Cai Dao was still serving as the third envoy, in the entire Great Song Dynasty, except for water conservancy projects, the Ministry of Industry contracted almost all other projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood to these private contractor teams.

To the surprise of others, Cai Dao's measures actually made the free labor in the forced labor gradually disappear.

In the Great Song Dynasty, there was no longer the government to forcibly recruit the people to participate in free labor, so that all the people living in the north had disappeared without the free labor that they hated the most, so they could naturally live and work in peace and contentment.

This result led to another big problem that Cai Daodu did not expect to appear - before, some ordinary people who fled from the north to the south because of the disaster and famine in their hometown, I don't know when, suddenly began to flow back to the north in large numbers.

Of course, the people of Hedong Road who were relocated to Jinghu South Road, because the landlords of the big family were good to them, so they did not join the team to return to their homeland this time.

After learning the news, Cai Dao did not stop it.

Although the land in the north is limited, there are still the sixteen states of Youyun in the hands of the Liao State that have not been recovered, which is the big granary of the Liao State, after the war, Cai Dao will not hand over those lands to the Han people of the Liao State who are not loyal to the Song State, so these northern people who suddenly returned from the south are at the right time.

Later, this situation became out of control, and the first problem to arise was, of course, Huainan and Lianglu. Located at the junction of the north and the south, he was completely excluded from the new deal because of his previous opposition to Cai Dao's new policy.

After the previously unemployed salt farmers and merchants joined the Cao Gang, the situation did not improve.

Because of the rise of shipping, and because of Cai Dao in the north, there is no shortage of food at all. As a result, the goods that needed to be transported from the north to the north are now only porcelain and various ores.

Porcelain is a fragile product, if you ship by sea, the wind and waves at sea will make the sea ship extremely unstable, therefore, it is safer to use freshwater boats, and because the goods transported from the south to the north are reduced, the Cao Gang does not dare to open their mouths as before when transporting goods, and ask for prices arbitrarily. They are now afraid of losing a single customer and a deal.

As for the various ores, it is because, not a single sea ship wants to deliver such worthless cargo. What's more, most of those mines are also located in inland areas, and it is very troublesome to transport them back and forth by small boats.

Sea ship transportation is a time, and the advantage of boat transportation is that it is quite stable and safe.

The Cao Gang lost a lot of business, and they didn't dare to raise the price of the rest of the business, so this led to a big reduction in the income of the brothers in the Cao Gang, and those old brothers thought that these salt merchants and salt farmers had diluted their profits, so they naturally wanted to squeeze them out.

As for the peasants in Huainan, there is nothing in the new policy that has not been extended here, so naturally it will not benefit the people here.

Compared with the 'New Juntian Law', the two tax laws are very disturbing to the people by visiting the local officials and servants twice a year to collect taxes. Moreover, the 'New Uniform Land Law' has only two clear taxes - a land tax of three liters per mu, and a physical tax of one horse of silk per mu or one pound of cotton.

No child under the age of fifteen, male or female, is taxed. As for children under the age of 18 to 15, although there is no land, Cai Dao will recruit children of this age to the technical schools run in various state capitals, and after these children have been trained, they can eat and pay taxes with their own skills.

As a result, the yeoman farmers and tenants on the Huainan Road sold their family businesses one after another and fled to other state capitals and counties in the north. This also led to the bankruptcy of many small and medium-sized landlords on Huainan Road.

The local gentry who did not have civil status in the family also had to pay taxes. In this case, they still hold a large amount of land in their hands, and they will die at all.

In the Great Song Dynasty, only civil officials who were admitted to the Jinshi could enjoy tax-free benefits.

As a result, the officials of the two Huai Road and the families with civil protection colluded to include these lands in their own land deeds. As for the tenant farmers who escaped, there was no shortage of Lianghuai Road, and those salt farmers who couldn't get along in the Cao Gang were a new batch of tenants. These people's hatred for Cai Dao has not been extinguished, so they would rather continue to accept the exploitation of the landlord class than leave the Lianghuai Road.

The problem of the Lianghuai Road has been solved temporarily, but the area south of the Yangtze River has been troubled by this problem.

Since the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, although the political center of the Chinese Dynasty has been moving eastward, its economic center of gravity has actually subtly shifted to the south. In particular, the Jingshi needed to transport a large amount of grain from the south through the Grand Canal built by Emperor Yang of Sui every year, so as to ensure that the imperial court had enough grain in its hands to stabilize the stability of the entire dynasty.

This is because, before Zhao Xu's pro-government, the land close to the north could not feed the people in the entire Bianliang City and maintain the huge burden of 800,000 forbidden troops.

After Zhao Xu came to power, under Cai Dao's secret planning, a large amount of land in the hands of those conservative officials was turned into public land again, and the people had their own arable land in their hands, and the imperial court and local government could also collect more taxes.

In the south, then, the arable land near the Grand Canal had to be converted to more lucrative cash crops, such as mulberry and tea trees.

As for cotton, the government did not prohibit the popularization of cotton in the south, but most of the orders placed by the government were given to the Bashu Five Roads, and the people in the north could also grow it themselves, but the cotton gap was made up by money in the cotton fields planted in large quantities in the southern coastal areas.

As a result, the market for cotton is now basically saturated.

After hearing about the benefits of the new law in the north, some natives who could not survive in the south fled to the north.

Of course, the arable land in the south can grow two crops of rice a year, so there are not too many people who really can't get by.

However, even if these people went to the north, they could not immediately get their cultivated land for the time being, so Cai Dao sent someone to gather them together and bring them to Luoyang Mansion together.

Once there, they can temporarily work as artisans to support their families.

Because, Cai Dao wanted to complete the major event of moving the capital before the war.

As a result, the entire Luoyang Mansion has now become a huge construction site, where Cai Dao has to build a new capital, city walls, various residential buildings, market roads and other urban supporting facilities and buildings, as well as a more majestic palace.
