Chapter 1042: Two Retired People
Zhao Shu wanted to use troops externally, but it was really not a great achievement, a whim, and a decision made casually. Rather, it is well thought out.
As mentioned earlier, a whole bunch of decrees were enacted.
It is necessary to expand the development of schools, to reaffirm the Juntian Order, and to protect workers...... Some of these policies will increase expenses, while others will increase factory costs.
For example, if the land is to continue to be implemented, the common people must have land, and if the factories in the cities want to attract labor, they must pay much higher income than farming, so as to attract people into the factories.
Invisibly, it has increased labor costs, not to mention that there are so many worker protection regulations, which makes the burden on the factories of the Great Song Dynasty a lot heavier, and many people complain in private, feeling that the actions of the imperial court are simply hating the rich, and it is not as comfortable as being a worker to be a boss...... Of course, this is a disease-free moan, pretending to be garlic!
But in comparison, Da Song did treat the workers a little "excessively".
For example, in the early days of industrialization in Britain, it first relied on the enclosure movement of sheep and cannibalism to drive the common people to the city, and in order to make these people accept low-paying jobs, even a wicked law was enacted: all vagrants who were able to work would be punished if they did not find a job within the specified time. Often, for those wandering peasants, once caught, they were whipped and sent back to their places of origin. If he is found wandering again, half of his ears are to be cut off. The third time he was found to be wandering, he was sentenced to death.
And even more cruel: whoever wanders for a month and does not find a job is to be sold into slavery as soon as he denounces it, and his master can drive him to do any kind of labor at will. If such a slave escapes, he will be sentenced to life slavery if he is caught. The third escape: to be sentenced to death. Anyone has the right to take the children of vagrants as apprentices and to use them as hard labor.
This alone is not enough, the famous kings Henry VIII and Elizabeth I have disposed of a large number of homeless people under various pretexts, and Henry VIII alone executed tens of thousands of people, accounting for less than 3% of the population at that time......
These are things that are rarely mentioned, and even if they are written, they are written in one go.
Everyone likes to brag about five levels and six generals, and they are reluctant to mention Maicheng.
But in any case, the transition from an agrarian society to an industrial society is a phoenix nirvana, and it must be reborn from the ashes! The cost is simply indescribable.
Of course, the conditions of the Great Song Dynasty are better than those of the United Kingdom, there are no strong competitors, and there is no need to work hard to strengthen themselves...... But the Great Song Dynasty also has weaknesses, that is, the country is too big, the population is too large, and the common people believe in princes and generals.
You know, this land has contributed to the largest number of peasant uprisings in the world, and who said that they were born obedient minions, purely because they had a sick brain, and it was not worth refuting!
In the face of a large and sensitive empire, as the master, Zhao Shu was very sober, and he had to plunder the outside to meet the interests of the industrial and commercial groups, and only in this way could the road of industrialization of the Great Song Dynasty go on.
Of course, Wang Ningan also means this, and the current political affairs hall also has the same opinion.
From top to bottom, it's all highly consistent!
"After the rectification, the economy is improving, orders are increasing, and a war is needed to stimulate!" Zhao Shu was ambitious, "I want to personally recruit and cut off border troubles!" ”
In the face of the ambitious apprentice, Wang Ningan had nothing to say, he just sighed that his retirement plan was about to come to naught. I was still thinking about leaving the capital, a place of right and wrong, but Zhao Shu chased after him, and it seemed that wherever he went, it became a place of right and wrong!
Alas!
That's fate!
Wang Ningan packed his bags, took the whole family, and set off together to Youzhou. There is a big family on his side, on the Youzhou side, his father is here, and his cousin, the fourth king Ning Ze is also there, they have already started a family, had children, and spread their branches...... The entire Wang family is considered to be prosperous, and a large group of children can fill a school, if you count the grandson that Gouyaer added to him, it will be even more terrifying...... Wang Ningan felt bad, he had to break the fortune when he moved this time!
The special train clicked and clicked...... In Wang Ning'an's arms, he did not hold his young children or grandchildren, but held a fluffy cutie!
Just after feeding the milk powder, Wang Ningan put the rolling on the mat, exposing his belly, and then quickly combed it with his fingers to help the little guy defecate...... Rolling made a chirping sound from time to time, Wang Ningan smiled brightly, it was better to roll, and it wouldn't block him!
……
"My dad is really old." Gouya'er peeked outside the car door, returned to his mother's car, and said: "He is now fame, his enterprising spirit is gone, and he is immersed in messy hobbies every day...... Feeding pandas, raising crickets, raising yellow finch, training starlings...... "Counting the same dog's teeth, he suddenly felt that his father had lived his life upside down...... became famous as a young man, ranked as a ruler, an important minister of the two dynasties, and how many great things have he done...... When people reach middle age, they may feel bored, and they actually pick up all the things that young people like, which is really weird.
"Mother, won't you talk about him?"
Yang Xi snorted, "You didn't say it to me?" Guess what people say? He said that those birds, insects, play with him, have fun with him, and don't harm people, if you don't take good care of them, won't you have no conscience! ”
Dogtooth jumped angrily, "This, what is this?" Could it be that we are a big family, and it is not as valuable as those gnats and crickets? No, I have to reason with him! ”
Xiao Guanyin stretched out his hand and grabbed him, "My eldest young master, if you go now, you won't be beaten to death by your father!" Xiao Guanyin said with a smile: "Dad has been holding a string in his heart for so many years, and it is not easy for him to carry such a heavy burden!" ”
Su Banniang also said: "One piece and one relaxation, let him tinker!" Anyway, I wonder how long it will take, the master will get tired of playing, and there are so many things waiting for him! ”
Seeing that they all had this opinion, Gouya was speechless, and he secretly thought that if his father kept "squirming", it would depend on his eldest young master's ability!
Are there talented people in the country?
Dogtooth suddenly got motivated.
The family moved to Youzhou, and only half a month later, Zhao Shu led the forbidden army to arrive.
As early as when Zhao Zhen was in power, he discussed the issue of the fixed capital, although the capital was moved to Xijing, but also Youzhou was the choice of the capital, but unfortunately Youzhou was still in the hands of the Khitan at that time, and it was impossible to move the capital.
Now Youzhou has received unprecedented development.
The city has grown to 1.8 million people.
Moreover, Youzhou also has the strongest steel factory in the Great Song Dynasty, the best machine factory, which can produce all kinds of machine tools, as well as steam engines, trains and so on...... It is also the most important military industrial base, with guns and artillery, which supply half of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Shu brought 50,000 horses over this time, through the convenient railway system, people can be mobilized thousands of miles away without much effort, even if they take the train many times, Zhao Shu still feels fresh and surprised, proud and proud!
This is my country, try to ask the world, who can compare?
If the Great Song Dynasty can't reign over all nations, who has this qualification?
Zhao Shu was full of pride, he stopped in Youzhou for a while, and immediately went out of Juyongguan, went beyond the Great Wall, and stationed in Ruzhou. Gouya'er was his staff officer with the army, and he also went to Ruzhou.
As for Wang Ningan, he could only leave his "treasures" to his father and beg him to help take care of them.
"You have to feed the water on time, don't give too much food, and don't give too much...... Especially the gnats and crickets, it is not easy to survive the winter, so you must be careful...... The panda is still too small, don't freeze ......"
For the first time, Wang Liangjing felt that his son was very annoying and underwhelmed!
"You are not the prime minister, you are still the Yan King of the Great Song Dynasty! I also have to be a counselor of the military aircraft, and I am also responsible for the land of Liaodong, I am a grandfather, and I am actually a plaything, I think you are going back more and more! ”
Daddy Wang suddenly opened the cricket cage, and an "iron-winged general" was thrown into the cage, the starling hesitated, there were insects sent to the door, how could he miss it!
I ate it in one bite, and after eating it, I made a series of screams, as if to say that it was too delicious.
Regardless of his son's dumbfounded appearance.
Wang Liangjing simply crushed the cage, and the little yellow finch and starling were all released...... Wang Ning'an was so angry, he and his father looked at each other for a quarter of an hour, and Wang Liangjing was stunned and didn't bow his head!
"Forget it, I can't afford to mess with you, I'll make it again!"
"Stop!" Wang Liangjing grabbed him, bared his teeth, and smiled. "Did you think I was particularly annoying?"
Wang Ning Anxin said that you know and ask!
Wang Liangjing smiled, "It's not nice to be bullied by a father, right?" Send you eight words: Do not do to others what you do not want to be done! ”
After speaking, Daddy Wang put his hands behind his back and left in a dashing manner, Wang Ningan couldn't cry or laugh, and looked at the empty bird cage again, the cricket cage...... That's it, don't play, don't play!
Fortunately, Roll is not here, otherwise if Daddy pinches a Roll to death, it will be a big sin!
Wang Ningan had no status at home, so he could only go to the Confucian camp.
In Ruzhou, there is another person, Wang Ningan wants to live a retirement life but can't, what about this one? He had to live!
Our Wen Xianggong was assigned to Confucianism, and he also had half a year of hard work, he was considered to have suffered a lot, and the most annoying thing was that he actually met a deduction of money, a regimental training deputy envoy did not earn much money, and he was deducted half, so how can Wen Xianggong be embarrassed!
Especially since it was already June since he came, it was too late to plant food.
There is no way but to desperately open a vegetable field, pick up manure from the livestock shed and put fertilizer, and then sow seeds to plant vegetables...... Finally, in the autumn, Wen Xianggong's vegetable field was harvested.
Chinese cabbage, large radish, and a lot of potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts...... After deducting what you eat at home, you can sell it for 200 yuan, plus half of it, and you don't have to go hungry.
No, Wen Xianggong came out of the vegetable cellar with three cabbages, tore off the rotten leaves outside, threw them to the chickens and ducks to eat, and then prepared to go to the kitchen.
Wang Ningan watched from a short distance...... He suddenly had the illusion that the days that seemed to be the prime minister were exactly what he couldn't ask for...... Let this old guy pick up cheap, it's a mistake, it's a mistake!
