I grabbed the outer hem of the golden burqa and turned around, sat down on the dragon chair and said, "Zhongqing. ”

"Long live thanks."

"Proclaim the decree." I said to Little Bean

Xiaodouzi bowed to me slightly, shook the dust in his hand, opened the holy decree, and said loudly according to my new holy decree format: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I drive the western expedition, break the Western Xia, and now collect the entire territory of the Western Xia and the lost land of Longyou when the first emperor, hereby, the whole territory of the new occupation is Hetao South Road, Gansu Road, and Longyou Road." Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, Hedong Road Ma Zheng were all cancelled, Hetao South Road was changed to a pastoral area, cattle and horses and alpacas, Gansu Road, Longyou Road was canceled to cancel the production of grain crops, and the land of the two roads was changed to grow cotton, rhubarb, wolfberry, licorice and other cash crops, and the three roads were exempted from taxes for three years to support people's livelihood. Chin this. ”

After Xiaodouzi finished reciting the first holy decree, before the ministers began to digest this holy decree, I walked down from His Majesty Dan and said to the ministers: "These three roads, especially Gansu Road and Longyou Road, are not suitable for growing grain, but do you know that this Gansu and Qinghai land are rich in what is produced?" Hubu Liu Aiqing, you are the head of the household, you talk about it. ”

"This ...... The minister only knew that the rhubarb of Western Xia was extremely famous, and the others, the minister was really ashamed, that is, he had just heard these in the emperor's holy decree. Liu Shihai said with shame

I waved Liu Shihai back to the class and then asked, "Which Aiqing knows anything to say, let's brainstorm it." ”

I asked around and saw that no one answered my question, so I said to Wu Yong: "Wu Aiqing, read the land conditions and the agricultural conditions that I asked you to record. ”

"Wechen obeys." Wu Yong opened a book of excerpts and read aloud: "The land of the hometown of Xixia is barren and unsuitable for farming, however, in the past, the lord of Xia vigorously reclaimed, resulting in the loss of land fertility and the desertification of the land is extremely serious, but, in my opinion, although the land of Gansu and Qinghai is barren, it is the production area of fine cotton, the climate, land, humidity and moisture of the hometown of Xixia, and it is extremely important to grow soybeans, rhubarb, wolfberry, red dates, licorice and other cash crops, and its environment is also very suitable for the growth of Cordyceps. It is also related to cotton planting, and its annual cotton output can be more than several times that of our Central Plains. Wu Yong finished reading and returned directly to the class

"Have you heard that, Hubu, you must remember it accurately. The Ministry of Officials, there is still a shortage of civilian officials in these three roads, and it is up to you to make your own assessment arrangements. After I finished speaking, I walked back to the dragon seat and sat down, and once again motioned to Xiaodouzi to make a decree

"The edict said: I have obtained the new land, the people's hearts are unstable, bandits are chaotic, Jin Hu Yanzhuo is the commander of the horse infantry army on the south road of Hetao, and he is given the title of Wuluo doctor, and he is given a thousand taels of gold, and Jin Guansheng is the commander of the horse infantry army of Gansu Road, and he is given the title of Wujie doctor, and he is given a thousand taels of gold, and Yang Zhiwei of Jin is the commander of the right horse infantry army, and he is given the title of Wujing doctor, and he is given a thousand taels of gold, and Zhang Qing, Dong Ping, Sun Li, Xu Ning, is the captain of the cavalry, and he is given a thousand taels of gold, and Lu Junyi is crowned, and Lin Chong is Gong Weilang, and he is given five thousand taels of gold. Jin Shi Wengong was the commander of the Mabu Army on the East Road of Hebei, and was awarded the title of martial arts doctor, and was given 5,000 taels of gold, and was promoted to the rank of Langzhong of the Ministry of Chu Lu, and was given the title of general doctor, and was given 1,000 taels of gold, and was promoted to Wu Yong as the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and the title of general doctor was given 1,000 taels of gold, and Yue Fei was crowned as the court, and the royal study was specially given to walk, and the bounty was 1,000 taels. The scholars, squires, and scholars of the palace were each given purple gold fish bags, 5,000 taels of money, and the rest of the ministers were each given 2,000 pieces of money to comfort their labor, and the artillery, mortars, crossbows, and steel bows and crossbows showed their might, and the special seal was given to the public to lose nature, Ling Zhen was given the rank of general doctor, and each was given 2,000 taels of gold, and the military equipment such as soldiers, horses, armor and other military equipment was of good quality and sufficient supply, and the officials and craftsmen of the Ordnance Department were rewarded with 50,000 yuan, and the supply of grain and grass during the war was timely and sufficient, and the officials and craftsmen of the household department were rewarded with 50,000 yuan. Chin this. ”

After the holy decree was recited, a whisper suddenly broke out in the entire court, I rewarded the ministers who went out with the army very richly, many ministers even jumped three levels in a row, the most important thing is that my monetary rewards to all the ministers are even more astonishing, the generals who go out often reward thousands or thousands of taels of gold, even if the ministers who do not go out have also received a rich reward, if nothing else, if you want the horses to run fast, you can't eat less

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what I am most proud of on this expedition? It was artillery and medical soldiers, the army I led on the day of the expedition totaled 150,000 units, and the soldiers who lost were only 21,942 killed, 4,380 who were seriously injured and could not continue to serve, and those who were lightly wounded were not counted. No, therefore, the role of the medical guards in this war has been greatly reflected, there are almost no soldiers who died due to wounds in our army, and all the soldiers who were wounded by swords, guns, swords and arrows can recover in a short time and can return to the war. Looking at the Western Xia side, the standing army totaled 400,000 people, and the Western Xia soldiers captured by our army alone reached nearly 300,000 and captured nearly one million Qiang people. The Ministry of War, the decree of the Emperor, all the soldiers who returned to Beijing were on leave for three days, and the reward was 20 times, and the reward for the soldiers stationed in the war zone was doubled, and the rewards were increased in turn for ten, hundred, and thousand. ”

"Yes, the old minister obeys." Zhou Tong came out of the class to receive the order. In fact, these soldiers who have gone out don't care much about the money of these dozens of times, but we can't forget these heroes who have worked hard, can we?

"Ministry of Rites, how is my country's trade with Liao, Jin, Dali and Tubo." I asked again

"Long live, the war between the Jin State and the Liao State has completely entered the white-hot stage, almost all the adult men in the areas controlled by the two sides participated in the war, although the national strength of the Liao State is strong, but the soldiers' combat power is not as good as the Jin State, so far, all the Liaodong and the land of the south to Dading Mansion before the Liao State is occupied by the Jin State, because the war between the two countries does not produce the people, so far all the grain, grass and weapons of the two countries need to be purchased from our country, and the cattle, horses, and alpacas of the Jin and Liao countries are also almost all used to trade with our country."

"They go to war with all the people? Not ready to produce yet? As for how to negotiate, your Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs will discuss it themselves, and our country's military rations and ordnance reserves are also tight, out of concern for friendly neighboring countries and not daring to be ashamed of the teachings of the saints, we have to tighten our belts and sell some of the only grain, grass and ordnance reserves to neighboring countries, of course, the price may be a little higher. "I said to Zheng Junyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, with a dark belly

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen obeys the order." After Zheng Junyan bowed down to receive the order, he returned to his shift

"Iron Tiger." I said to Tiehu, who is also in the court today: "Arrange people, and then help the two countries of Jin and Liao, sometimes, they need some evidence against each other. ”

"Wechen obeys." Iron Tiger said with his fists clenched

I then said to Tiehu: "In the future, the focus of investigation will shift northward, and we must always pay more attention to these two northern neighbors. Also, in the north of the Liao country, there is a rising people, his name is Mongolia, many of their nobles call themselves the Golden Family, they are born on horseback, they only know how to graze, plunder, and never produce and create, find them, use all gentle methods to kill their men, women, old people, and even children who are called the Golden Family, remember, their surname is only a catty. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has written it down." The Iron Tiger bowed down here and received the command

I waved my hand to Tiehu and said to Xu Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry: "Xu Aiqing of the Ministry of Industry, have you received the prisoners who were escorted back by the Yan'an Mansion Seed Master?" ”

"Long live, so far, our Ministry of Industry has accepted a total of 700,000 prisoners from the former Western Xia Kingdom, and when we received His Majesty's holy decree on the construction of the cement road from Tokyo to Yan'an, we have begun to work on this road and bridge plan, and after receiving the first batch of prisoners, our Ministry of Industry has officially started the construction of this road and bridge plan, so far, the cement road has been built to Henan Province, because these captives have just begun to contact the construction of roads and bridges, so the beginning of construction, the progress is slightly slower."

"Speed up the progress, your speed is indeed too slow, after the completion of this section of the road, continue to build Bianliang to Yingtianfu, the Daimyo Mansion, and finally to the cement avenue of Hejian Mansion, all the Luzhi cities in the country (the provincial capital city of the Song Dynasty) must be connected with Bianliang with cement avenues as soon as possible, and then disperse to build various cities, towns and villages only see cement avenues, in the far west there is a country called the Roman Empire, they have a very philosophical proverb called, all roads lead to Rome, this is because only road traffic is convenient, In order to make the operation speed of the entire state machinery increase rapidly, the civil commodity trade can be quickly circulated, in order to reduce the increase in the cost of goods due to the long transportation time, so that the people of our Great Song Dynasty can buy and use more necessities of life, and more importantly, the convenience of the road can greatly improve the speed of our army, and the army can be sent to the war quickly in the morning and evening. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has written it down, and the minister will definitely speed up the construction of this road." Xu Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, bowed down and said

"The main roads of the country really give you five years, the roads between the cities, I plan for fifteen years, all the roads in the country means that there is a plan for thirty years for the time being. How is your Ministry of Industry doing this year's new farm tools? I asked again

"Back to the emperor, so far, all the villages of Jingbei Road, Jingnan South Road, Huainan West Road, Jinghu North Road, Jinghu South Road, Jiangnan East Road, and Jiangnan West Road have all been distributed, and it can be guaranteed that no village can get one or two pieces of new farm tools."

"Your Ministry of Industry has done a good job in this matter, continue to work hard, and you must ensure that all the people in the whole territory of the Great Song Dynasty can use this new type of farm tool within ten years."

"Wechen obeys."

Speaking of the completion department, I said to the Ordnance Department again: "Gong loses Aiqing, Ling Aiqing." ”

"The minister is here."

"Through this war, I am still very satisfied with the contribution of your repeaters, steel bows, crossbows, artillery and mortars in actual combat, but I still have to put forward some improvement requirements for the two, one of them: the wooden structure of the repeater makes its damage rate in the war too high, and because it is not a standardized production, once the repeater is damaged, it is difficult for our army craftsmen to repair it in a short period of time, and the production of steel standardized repeater crossbow must be put on the work schedule as soon as possible. Second: the production of steel bows and crossbows is too low, and the collapsible steel longbow can only be enough to supply the Hua Wolf troops at present, and other combat units cannot be equipped in formation, such as light cavalry and heavy archers, etc., as for steel crossbows, you must use steel repeaters to replace them as soon as possible, single-shot steel crossbows, I asked you to develop long-range sniper crossbows, how are you developing. ”

"Your Majesty, let's do this, we are still continuing to study, the maximum shooting distance of the steel crossbow is only three hundred and twenty meters, and the maximum effective killing distance is two hundred meters, so it is indeed difficult for you to make this kind of steel crossbow with a maximum shooting distance of five hundred meters and a maximum accurate and effective killing distance of three hundred and fifty meters." The vernacular of losing nature once again stirred my nerves and said to me

"Open your mind and take a long-term view." I pretended to be 13, and used a line from Harry Potter to say to Gong Loser, "I didn't let you make that sniper crossbow now, but before I start the next war, I hope this crossbow can equip the troops, at least the wolf." ”

"Ah, then the emperor, when will your old man start the next war." Gong Yi naturally asked this sentence that everyone wanted to ask, but they didn't dare to ask

"I don't know. Well, the next question, third, the number of artillery is too small, ninety-seven field artillery, in a large-scale war is still unable to carry out effective large-scale killing, and the explosive power of gunpowder is still not very ideal, the maximum effective killing distance has been tested by this war, and it is okay to deal with field warfare, but the number of artillery is insufficient, which seriously affects its position in the field, and the firing distance of the city wall is more than five miles, the power will seem a little powerless, Ling Aiqing, after the next dynasty, you and Gongyi Aiqing come to the imperial study, I talked to the two Aiqing in detail, the number of mortars is also too small, and you continue to increase production. ”

"We're in command."

"Xu Liang, Liu Shihai, after the next dynasty, the two of you will come to the imperial study to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Liang, Liu Shihai received the order depressedly, and said in his heart, we don't know how to build cannons and bows and crossbows, what did the emperor let me do
