Chapter 259: Trivia
The rest of the things are nothing to do with Zhao Xu, so Zhao Xu started to be the shopkeeper with peace of mind, and kept swaying in the palace of Goryeo all day long, but not to mention, there are still a lot of beautiful girls in the palace maids of Goryeo, and Zhao Xu is really a little angry and emotional, but Zhao Xu has never done anything to these women, not that Zhao Xu is too timid to touch these women, but he really doesn't have that mood and kung fu now.

With the gradual end of the war on the entire Goryeo battlefield, some contradictions within many countries began to emerge gradually, the land area of the empire has increased rapidly due to the wars over the years, but the population development is relatively slow, but it directly affects the Song Empire's control over all the newly occupied land, although Zhao Xu has issued an order, ordering the relocation of people to Liaozhou East Road, but the living environment and conditions of most of the people in the country are rapidly improving, so, even if there are people who are willing to come to Liaozhou East Road, The number is definitely not too much, so the current national conditions of the Song Empire should be to vigorously develop the population and increase the overall number of Chinese Han people, otherwise, with the occurrence of future wars, the Song Empire's land area will continue to expand, not to mention the occupation, even if it is a garrison is a big problem, the current land of China, is not the 21st century of later generations, and now all the Han people add up to only more than 100 million people, and now the land area of the Song Empire is more vast than the land area of later generations, Such a vast land and population became a fatal point that hindered the development of the Song Empire.
Zhao Xu slowly walked in the imperial garden of the imperial palace that originally belonged to Wang Xien, the imperial garden in autumn has appeared a little empty and desolate, stepping on the leaves that are constantly blown down by the autumn wind, swirling and swaying, Zhao Xu slowly walked into the long pavilion on the imperial garden lake, took the fish food handed over by the palace maid, and sprinkled it all over again, the style of the imperial palace of this Goryeo Kingdom is almost completely the architectural style of the Chinese Han people, so Zhao Xu is still relatively easy to accept this palace, after a while, Zhao Xu said to Xiao Douzi, who was following him: "Go, the six ministers who came with the army and Wu Yong came to see me, I have something to say to them." ”
"The slave obeys." After speaking, Xiaodouzi hurriedly went to convey Zhao Xu's will
After a while, the six ministers and Wu Yong who came with the army hurriedly came with Xiaodouzi
"Ministers, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Hearing the voices of several people, Zhao Xu turned around, handed the fish food in his hand to the palace maid beside him, and said to the ministers: "Calm down, this is not a court, you don't have to be so formal, sit down, I have something to say to you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After everyone sat down, Liu Shihai, the head of the household department, took the lead in clasping his fists and said to Zhao Xu: "I don't know what Your Majesty has to summon the ministers and others to come and order?" ”
Zhao Xu waved his hand to let the former Goryeo palace ladies who were waiting next to him retreat, and then said to his ministers: "These days, I have been thinking about a question, with the wars of the past few years, the land area of my Song Empire has increased rapidly, from the eighth year of Yuan You, my Great Song Dynasty pacified Western Xia, and then to the later conquest of Jin, Liao's war, and then to today, pacify Goryeo, over the years, the land area of my Great Song Dynasty has been greatly expanded, and the total land area far exceeds the land controlled by the previous emperors of our country, butWith the increase of land area, our country is facing a very big problem, which is even fatal, that is, the population of our country is too small, but how many Han people are there in such a vast land area? Even if the East Grassland Road and the West Grassland Road are used for grazing, they don't need too many people, but only 200,000 Han people are there, which is really too little, and after my rough estimate, it takes nearly four million people to fully utilize the grassland land that our country now occupies, and Liaozhou North Road, Liaozhou South Road, and now Liaozhou East Road, the vast majority of the land of these three roads is plain, and the soil is extremely fertile, it is a pity to use it for grazing, so, The land of these three roads is more suitable for farming, but the population on these lands is too much less, especially this Liaozhou East Road, which is even less when the emperor is called to come here, if it is the land of these three roads, all used for farming, it must also need 10 million people. ”
"Your Majesty, do you intend to encourage childbearing and vigorously develop population growth?" Liu Shihai said that as the head of the household, this matter is under his control.
"Yes, the purpose of my invitation to come here is to increase the number of people, the increase in population requires a lot of basic conditions, and these basic conditions have been basically met in our Great Song Dynasty, such as a stable national social form, sufficient food, rich land, etc., we already have these, and we also lack a lot of things, such as the people of the empire still lack the corresponding medical conditions, many remote areas, the mortality rate of the people after the disease and the death rate of children have been high, Children of all ages still lack the corresponding education, and without knowledge they can only be tied to the land, although we have been committed to developing the medical level and education level of the country, but this process is still too slow, although I know that this is a slow process, but I still want to make my people of the Great Song Dynasty live a better life as soon as possible. Zhao Xu took the teacup handed over by Xiaodouzi, slowly stirred with the floating leaves, and said to all the ministers with a hint of sentimentality
"What Your Majesty said is that if you can't guarantee the medical level of the people of the Song Empire, you can't guarantee the health of all the people in the country, and the high mortality rate caused by disease is a huge loss of population resources for our country, but even if the medical water products have been highly developed, the number of doctors is very small, many doctors are family heirlooms, and the apprentices they teach are very few, which is really powerless." Liu Shihai sat up straight and said to Zhao Xu
And Lu Junyi continued to follow Liu Shihai's words: "The slow growth of the population has also directly affected the development of our army, after His Majesty's last army reform, so far, our country has a total of cavalry, infantry, artillery, sailors and other forbidden troops, and its subordinate branches, a total of two hundred complete troops, however, China's strategic depth area is extremely broad, the geographical environment is complex, and the national border is extremely long. In order to maintain border stability and stabilize the newly occupied territory, China has hoarded more than 400,000 elite forbidden troops here, and the Zizhou Road and Guangnan West Road have also stationed nearly 400,000 troops to look at the southeast peninsula, and according to His Majesty's earlier strategic planning, since the establishment of the South China Sea Fleet, it has continuously carried out military reconnaissance in the South China Sea and the Greater Sunda Islands. His Majesty has set a strategic plan for the countries of the Western Regions, as well as for the ****** regions of Central Asia, after these years of continuous business development there, the West Grassland Road, the North Hetao Road and the Longyou Road have also had a total of 250,000 troops gathered here, and these border places alone have dragged more than 1 million troops in our country, and our imperial capital Tokyo Bianliang has also guarded nearly 300,000 elite troops, as for the rest of the troops are scattered in various cities across the country, If the large armies on the various border lines are integrated, our country can still carry out a war of annihilation on the southeast peninsula, but if we want to have another war, I am afraid that it will be a little stretched in terms of this force, especially our naval strength, Dengzhou Naval Division, East China Sea Fleet, South China Sea Fleet, and overseas garrisons stationed at the Cape of Africa, with a total strength of less than 60,000 people, which is somewhat disproportionate to our overall military strength. ”
Zhao Xu didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Xu Liang, and Xu Liang saw that his emperor looked at him, and he naturally knew what this meant, so he immediately hugged his fist at Zhao Xu and said: "Your Majesty, all agricultural tools and farming tools and other agricultural tools, our Ministry of Industry can work overtime at any time, but so far almost all farm tools have been sent to Liaozhou North Road, Liaozhou South Road, and Longyou Road. All the farm tools of our Ministry of Industry have no plans to be transported to Liaodong. ”
"I know, you should arrange some of them first, lest once the peasant households come, we will not be able to provide them with farm tools, but it will affect the prestige of the imperial court in the hearts of the people."
"Wechen obeys."
"Officials."
"The assessment arrangements of officials and other matters, the minister has ordered the officials who stay in Beijing to start arranging, in recent years, China's imperial examination is different from the past, all the officials have a very high comprehensive ability, all, it will not be long before our officials will send officials at all levels to Liaozhou East Road to take up their posts."
"Ministry of Rites, after returning to Beijing, contact all the doctors in the country, conduct business evaluations on them, and then issue them medical licenses, evaluate the top 100 and give them official positions, establish a medical school, and teach all kinds of medicine, so as to improve the overall medical level of the people in our country."
"Wechen obeys."
"Criminal Department, if the imperial court needs to distribute people from the frontier, don't go to the south, all of them will be distributed to Liaozhou North Road and Liaozhou East Road, and those who perform well will be released after five years of hard labor and obtain civilian status, and the imperial court will also distribute grain, houses, farm tools and other materials."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Wechen has written it down." (To be continued.) )
