Chapter 185: Sharpen the knife
Zhao Zhe took a deep breath, somehow, the feeling here always makes him very refreshed. Perhaps, it is really because the free energy, which is called Reiki, is extraordinarily abundant. I believe that even if you don't cultivate, you will have a qualitative leap in your physical fitness after living here for ten or eight years. It was not the first time that Bauhinia and her maids had come to this place, and they immediately cheered in a comfortable mood. It seems that only here is the most comfortable time.
The queen likes this place more than Zhao Zhe, but she was born in a famous family, and the education she received since childhood made her surname reserved. I also wanted to run on this beautiful meadow, and my face was a little rosy because of the extreme excitement. Since childhood, he has lived in the deep boudoir, and when he grew up, he married into the palace, and rarely had the opportunity to enter this land of mountains and rivers.
Subsequently, Zhao Zhe took them to swim in the lake to catch fish, and went to the mountains and forests to catch some birds and beasts. It was already getting dark, so I started a barbecue by the lake again. Because some of the supplies have been moved to this small world, there is no shortage of things such as condiments. I set up a big tent and camped on the shore of this lake. Naturally, it is another night of spring. To say that this civilization that creates a small world is really quite good, it can even imitate the operation of the moon and stars, and the flow of night and day is simply a miracle. It's a pity that his little princess can't bring her in for the time being. Otherwise, a baby will quickly grow into a child here, or Makoto. It's appalling. After all, Wushuang is a princess, and she is almost all the families in a slightly more powerful position who are concerned.
Five people cultivated in this small world for ten days in one go. After going out again, everyone's spirit has already risen a lot. Originally, the cultivation of each woman was an extremely rare divine skill, including the queen, who was a rare person with outstanding qualifications, plus the help of the infinite amount of Yuan Dan and itself had an extremely rare speed. Even if there is no small world, in a few years, everyone will basically be the same product. The reason is that it takes a long time from the first second product to the first product. Gain, this was originally the biggest threshold besides the promotion to the Grandmaster. Ordinary people, etc., are often difficult to promote to a product for ten or eight years. In addition, for example, Zhao Zhe and Tassel are already in the realm of the second grade, and Guiyuan Dan has no effect on them. If you keep taking the Creation Pill to improve your cultivation progress, it will be too extravagant. This is also one of the most important reasons why Zhao Zhe previously positioned the Huya Army standard as a second product, not a first product.
But now cultivating in this small world, even if there is no way to take pills to cultivate after reaching the second grade, the cultivation speed is more than five times faster than outside. In less than a year, maybe only seven or eight months, like tassels, you can break through to the realm of first-class products. Others, even if a little slower, will not survive for less than a year. Converted to outside time, that is, less than twenty days.
A divine object is a divine object, even in Zhao Zhe's eyes, the ancient Nagong Empire, which is already an extremely strong civilization, is extremely difficult to obtain a small world. And listening to Yiyi's meaning, the small world of Gunagong is obviously worse than his own, I don't know how many times.
I stayed in the small world for ten days, and after I came out, it was only a mere night. During the day, Zhao Zhe began to deal with some national affairs. Although Zhao Zhe has gradually established his prestige as an emperor, and all kinds of power have gradually gathered into his own hands, Zhao Zhe understands it deeply. It's not time for me to really delegate power. Even if it is to delegate power, it needs to have a strong control over a certain power.
As his cultivation deepened, Zhao Zhe's energy and physical strength became more and more abundant. I didn't feel any tiredness when I got to deal with all kinds of things. Of course, the things he deals with are not those miscellaneous trivial things. More than that, it is about the rationalization and improvement of the country's control. For example, he will use various means to increase his control over the military and increase the bottom-up monitoring of the civilian system. Some of the new rules that either broke or merged with the long-standing rules gradually established and changed in his hands.
The army, which had been getting weaker and weaker, was gradually becoming stronger. The original corrupt and corrupt system of government officials has gradually been cleared up under the condition of his iron-fisted policy, monitoring and iron-fisted strength. Today's Da Zhao, whether it is a civilian system or a military attache system, at least in terms of efficiency, is many times better than when Zhao Zhe had just crossed over. Of course, this is not enough, far from enough. It's just that the fat man doesn't eat it in one bite, and Da Zhao still needs time to buffer and adjust.
Nowadays, the most important thing in the whole country is the construction of water conservancy projects at the national level, and the fact that the two countries of Houjin and Tatar are about to move and send a large number of elite horsemen to Shanxi and Liaodong to fight the autumn wind.
First of all, the huge water conservancy project covering all parts of the country is mainly based on damming and flood control, opening rivers, digging ditches, erecting water trucks, and building reservoirs. Water is the source of life and one of the most important materials in farmland irrigation. All parts of the country, except for the Jiangnan and other places where natural water conservancy is more developed, the irrigation rate of farmland in other places is extremely low, and the water for farming often needs to run a long distance to carry water with buckets, which is extremely inefficient, not to mention, and is also extremely unfavorable to the growth of crops. If the water conservancy project is in place, the country's crop output will be greatly improved.
This is an extremely large project, covering every state and county in the country. Especially in some places where floods often occur, flood control and dam construction, and wide river channels to dredge water conservancy are the top priorities. Of course, this huge project cannot be completed in a year or two. According to the general outline of the plan submitted by the Ministry of Industry, it will take a total of 10 years. And the central court will allocate 10 million taels of silver every year. Of course, this is not the total project payment. Each state and county also needs to invest heavily in it through the retention tax under the new policy. It is estimated that the total cost of ten years, including the appropriation of the central court and the local government's own investment, will not be less than 200 million taels of silver.
But the benefits are also obvious, in the past ten years, Dazhao's water conservancy will improve year by year, and crop yields will rise steadily. Natural disasters such as floods and droughts will be at least partially controlled if they cannot be eliminated for the time being, so as to reduce the damage caused by disasters. In addition, a large amount of money is invested, mainly on hiring people. This has also indirectly increased the incomes of some farmers. Although 200 million silver is spent in ten years, it is only a mere two taels of silver spent on every peasant. But the power generated by the circulation of this money cannot be underestimated.
With all kinds of advantages and interests, Zhao Zhe made up his mind to carry out a big project. This is also a project that is extremely popular with the people. It was quite favorable for his reign and consolidated the throne. Zhao Zhe also had an additional idea, precisely because this is a national project, and he can just take advantage of this opportunity to do an assessment of the ability and character of officials at the bottom of the country. The survival of the fittest has made Da Zhao's official system more stable, capable and efficient.
For more than two years, Zhao Zhe has gradually become more and more adaptable to this ancient life. It's as if you've been deeply integrated into this world. Zhao Zhe didn't think that if the whole country was in a situation where the vast majority of the people were half-starved, he would be very comfortable as the emperor. Within the scope of your ability, and it is beneficial to your own rule, why not? After all, forbearance is flesh and blood, and Zhao Zhe is also a highly educated person, although it is third-rate......
As for the stirring of the two countries in the Later Jin and Tatar countries, it was also extremely concerned by the central court. In fact, not only the central court, but even many well-informed ordinary people are also extremely concerned about this matter. In some tea shops and wine shops, this matter is also used as a topic of conversation after tea and dinner from time to time.
Although Zhao Zhe didn't seem to pay much attention on the surface, he always paid attention to the battle report. Due to the precautions made before, plus Shanxi, the two border armies commanded by the grandmaster in Liaodong are no longer Wuxia Ameng, and the battle situation is going on in a favorable way. Wu Zheng and Liu Pojun coincidentally adopted the tactics of closing the door and beating the dog. After a month of layout, it has come to a close touch.
According to the feedback of the scouts, the Tatars dispatched nearly 30,000 horses. Then Jin Guo was even more ruthless, and directly smashed 50,000 people. I'm afraid it's because I suffered a big loss in the last decisive battle, and I took the opportunity to take revenge. Although their vitality is greatly damaged, it will be extremely difficult to pull out a large army. But it is estimated that he also wants to let the land of Liaodong suffer a heavy blow again, and by the way, he will show his might to Da Zhao Yaowu. Because they were right, according to the rotten strength of Da Zhao's army, the defense was extremely reluctant, let alone running to their country to invade.
But they were wrong. The fault is that Zhao Zhe is a traverser, although he is not an angry young man. But he also has pride in his country, how can he be bullied to the door, like Cixi and the like deliberately whitewash the peace for pleasure, and bend the knee to beg for mercy. The Huya Army, as well as the Hussars, the Horsemen, the Eagle Cavalry, the Xiao Cavalry, and the Leopard Cavalry, the five cavalry armies have already sharpened their knives and are ready to go. Each cavalry corps has been expanded, replenished with soldiers, etc., and has reached five guards, more than 28,000 people. The five cavalry armies, representing the cutting-edge strike force of the Great Zhao, totaled up to 140,000 cavalry. This is also due to the raiding of the Huya Army, so that the war horses have been replenished a lot.
The most important thing is that the Huya Young Army has looted until now, and each of them can be regarded as killing more than 100 people. He is also familiar with the topography of the Tatar State and the Later Jin Kingdom. Therefore, they led 140,000 cavalry troops to battle this time with the best effect. What's more, there is also a golden wolf army led by Baltu in the territory of the Tatar State.
