"It's pork. Pigs are omnivorous and easy to raise, easier to raise than sheep, and get more meat than mutton. The key taste is very good, and there is no sheep smell. Zhao Ji explained with a smile.

In the Song Dynasty, most people did not eat pork, and pork could hardly be sold. Later, Su Shi was demoted, and met an old woman who couldn't sell pork for a living, and saw that she was pitiful, so she wrote a poem to promote pork, which made pork famous. The Dongpo meat of later generations is very famous!

"Well, it seems that the people should be encouraged to raise pigs. Raising sheep is such a waste of pasture. The Great Song Dynasty lacked war horses, and it was right to raise horses with pasture. Wang Anshi pondered.

The Song Dynasty lacked war horses, not because there was no pasture, not because there was no war horse production area, but because the horse government was lawless, and the cost of supporting cavalry was too high. If you don't support the cavalry, you naturally don't need a lot of war horses. As a result, the horse administration was even more corrupted, and in the end, even a small number of cavalry did not have war horses to use, and had to rely on imports. However, a large amount of grassland in the Great Song Dynasty was used to raise sheep. Song Renzong liked to eat mutton, and in order to supply the mutton needs of the imperial palace, a large number of horse farms were turned into sheep farms. Speaking of which, the Song Dynasty is really contradictory.

"Sir, how do you think it should be deployed? If I want to form a large caravan for long-distance voyages, will I be able to turn over financially? Thinking of Zheng He's trip to the West during the Ming Dynasty, the cost was huge, and Zhao Ji didn't have the heart to talk about pork and mutton anymore, but was worried about whether the trip to Quanzhou could be realized.

"Holy Lord, no, the huge caravan of 10,000 sea guards escorted by the Holy Lord, thousands of miles away, is really too expensive and food-consuming, the Holy Lord is cautious." Wang Anshi hurriedly said.

"Well, I'll think about it again. Is there any charter for the construction of water conservancy roads? Zhao Ji hoped to find a way to squeeze out a little money and food for him to form an army and sail a merchant ship.

"The reason why the new law has not been stabilized and why it has been opposed is that the people have nothing to gain. The wealth of the Great Song Dynasty is rare in all dynasties, and the poverty of the Great Song Dynasty is rare in all dynasties. The rich, the Great Song also! The poor, the court too! The people, too! If the people are rich, the country will be rich. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Great Song Dynasty can extend the country! Wang Anshi accused Zhao of supporting businessmen and adopting a development method of robbing the poor and helping the rich.

"Is this the Song Dynasty's version of the Wealth of Nations?" Zhao Ji thought to himself. Because Wang Anshi pointed out that the root cause of the Great Song Dynasty was that the gap between the rich and the poor was too large. The common people were generally poor, and the merchant landlords were very rich. But the common people were the source of taxation in the Great Song Dynasty, and as a result, the imperial court was empty.

"Sir, how do you think we can save this defeat?" Zhao Ji said anxiously.

Zhao Ji was anxious by Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi only talked about theories, not specific methods.

"The saint should know that it is, otherwise, why vigorously issue Jiaozi and support the business alliance?" Wang Anshi asked rhetorically.

"Oh, what do you mean by that? Why don't I understand? Zhao Ji racked his brains, but he didn't understand Wang Anshi's words, and asked.

"The saint is far-sighted, and the ministers can't do it! At that time, the saint persuaded Weichen to implement the law change in the opposition, form a business alliance, issue Jiaozi, and set up a business alliance cabinet, isn't it just for today? Wang Anshi prompted.

Wang Anshi didn't want to take the credit of Zhao Ji, in Wang Anshi's opinion, Zhao Ji was the helmsman of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Ji was able to share weal and woe with the soldiers, and was able to control the soldiers, so as to strongly control the military power of the Great Song Dynasty and consolidate the throne, from this point of view, no emperor in history has really done it. There is really no emperor in history who can not indulge in the harem, who does not covet the luxury and pleasure of the palace, who does not hope for immortality, and who is not bound by wealth and glory. Even those who change dynasties can't be like Zhao Ji.

Because Zhao Ji is a traverser, the concept is different from those emperors. Those emperors did not have a sense of crisis of the decay of Chinese civilization, and Zhao Ji came from later generations, and this sense of crisis was never stronger. Even Zhao Ji believes that the mission he can cross over is to save the fate of the weakening of Chinese civilization.

"I really don't know, I still hope that Mr. will teach me!" Zhao Ji arched his hand and said.

At that time, Zhao Ji wanted to issue Jiaozi, but it was only influenced by the bank of later generations, and the Song Dynasty had the basis for issuing Jiaozi, so he did it. And the joint merchants are also just to fight against the scholars and implement the law. Where do you want to get so much!

"Although the Great Song Dynasty is rich, its wealth is not under the control of the imperial court and cannot be used. With Jiaozi and the merchant alliance, the imperial court can operate in debt. The Great Song Dynasty can last to this day, the Great Song Dynasty can develop Huguang, the Great Song Dynasty can build so many workshops, and the Great Song Dynasty can reorganize its armament, and its strength is here. This borrows the wealth of the world and gives birth to the benefits of the world! Wang Anshi explained.

In the history of Wang Anshi's reforms, Wang Anshi's central idea is also "to borrow the wealth of the world and make the benefits of the world." The meaning of this sentence is to make the cake bigger, and the cake will be bigger, even if the gap between the rich and the poor is large, the lower classes can still have a livelihood, and life can still be passed.

In fact, in history, Wang Anshi also did this, and the farmland water conservancy law once set off the Song Dynasty to argue about water conservancy. The confluence of the Yellow River has resulted in a significant increase in arable land. No matter what people in later generations say about Wang Anshi, or even say that Wang Anshi's changes led to the demise of the Great Song Dynasty, but at least in the ten years that Wang Anshi was in power, the hard indicators of the Great Song Dynasty did go up. The treasury was abundant enough to meet the needs of ten years, and Wang Shao also achieved victory in Hehuang Kaibian.

Wang Anshi drank a glass of sweet wine, and then said: "The armies of the Great Song Dynasty only need to strengthen training, and there is no need to think about weapons, and the imperial court can save half of the cost of raising troops." This cost, plus the loan from the business alliance counter and the state-based counter. The government hall plans to spend 2 billion yuan in 10 years to build a water conservancy road. In the past ten years, it is not difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to reproduce the rule of Zhenguan. ”

Wang Anshi said very excitedly, if the rule of Zhenguan reappears, his life's ambition will be realized. He's fifty-three years old, and he can't wait. Life is rare for seventy years, how many years does he Wang Anshi have to live? Wang Anshi in history really did not live to be seventy years old. At the age of sixty-five, Wang Anshi, who failed to change the law, died in Jiangning.

"Mr. Fang Xin, in the past ten years, I have not developed the armor, I have not sought development, and I fully support Mr." Zhao Wei praised Wang Anshi for having such a sense of mission to achieve the great rule of the world.

"Thank you for your trust. After next year's general election, the government will issue a decree that the government will bear half of the cost of raising cattle and 80% of the cost of raising horses. One ox is worth ten people, and a large number of cattle and horses can be used to solve the shortage of agricultural manpower. In addition, in addition to farming, the government organized the construction of water conservancy, so that the people could get a side job and earn money to pay agricultural taxes. In addition, timely research and development of new agricultural tools, reduce the price of agricultural tools, and vigorously promote new agricultural tools, which can also save manpower. The saved manpower can be used to engage in industry and commerce. In such a decade, the people can be rich, and the Great Song Dynasty can be strong. At that time, whether the saint continues to engage in development or conquers the Quartet, he will have enough reserve strength. Wang Anshi assured.

Wang Anshi talked about the law of social development, unilaterally developing industry and commerce and not attaching importance to agriculture will only make it the same as the Soviet Union in later generations. As long as agriculture develops and there is sufficient labor and commercial grain support, industry and commerce can develop greatly.

"Sir, the agricultural situation is different in different places, what are the priorities?" Zhao Ji thought that Wang Anshi's change in history was because of the different economic developments in various places, which caused everyone to have different opinions, and couldn't help asking.

"If the saint wants to make Jiangning the future capital of the Great Song Dynasty, then all the water conservancy roads should revolve around Jiangning. The Han and Tang dynasties took Guanzhong as the foundation and set the world, why not? The trend of wealth and population is also! Jiangning, Shangjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, the land of fish and rice, there are four major benefits of grain, grass, population, waterway and sea trade, and should be centered on this, repair the Sui-Tang Grand Canal, communicate the Yellow River, Haihe River, Huaishui, and Pearl River, so as to reach the Great Song Dynasty. At the same time, with Jiangning as the center, a Chi Road was built to reach the border of the Great Song Dynasty and connect various states and counties. Wang Anshi planned.

What Wang Anshi means is that the Han and Tang dynasties used Guanzhong as the center of their empires because of Guanzhong's population and wealth advantages. In fact, from the Qin Dynasty until the Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong accounted for forty percent of the population of the entire country and eighty percent of its wealth. The reason why the Tang Dynasty collapsed and led to the division of feudal towns was that the population and wealth of Guanzhong accounted for the proportion of the country's population and wealth declined. If the center of the empire is not strong, it will not be able to dominate the whole country, and there will be local divisions.

Now, what Wang Anshi wants to do is to develop and operate Jiangnan, so that Jiangnan's population and wealth will occupy an advantage in the country, and rule the country with Jiangnan as the center. After all, Bianjing's prosperity is not due to geographical advantages, but to Song Dazu's policy of strengthening cadres and weak branches, and by collecting the wealth of the world, Bianjing has the ability to dominate the world. However, strong stems and weak branches lead to serious internal friction. The serious internal friction further led to the emergence of a weak Song Dynasty.

This can be seen from the military and economy of Bianjing, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend militarily, and needs to station a large number of troops for a long time, and economically relies on Bianshui and the Sui-Tang Grand Canal to communicate with Jiangnan and get the support of Jiangnan's financial rice. The same is true in history, after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty moved its capital to Hangzhou, with Jiangnan as the center, and finally defended the national glory of the Great Song Dynasty when the country collapsed. However, Jiangnan was too small, and Lingnan and Huguang were not developed enough, and in terms of national strength, the Southern Song Dynasty was obviously weak. In the end, it was defeated by the Yuan Dynasty and destroyed the country.

The reason why the Song Dynasty could not go out of the world was because in order to prevent the division of feudal towns, the internal friction was too strong. There were no extra troops and financial resources to attack Western Xia and Northern Liao. At the end of the Song Dynasty, all efforts were spent on preventing the secession of feudal towns.

However, this is also related to the national conditions of the Song Dynasty at that time. Although Jiangnan is rich, it does not have an absolute advantage in population and wealth, and the Great Song Dynasty is almost a scholar in the north, and the strong guard against the south is tight, and almost all the wealth in Jiangnan is lost to Bianjing.

When Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty pacified the Southern Tang Dynasty, Jiangning, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was almost destroyed and became very dilapidated. It wasn't until Wang Anshi served as the prefect of Jiangning for a few years that it improved. At this time, Hangzhou, and later Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, was still a place where the tide haunted. It was not until Su Shi was demoted to Hangzhou that there was a certain development under Su Shi's governance. In addition, the two dynasties of Song Zhezong and Huizong were Cai Jing and other southerners who controlled the court most of the time, and Huguang was developed, and the south slowly became the economic center of gravity of the Great Song Dynasty.

It can be said that if there were no southerners in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would not have the capital to live in a corner of the south. However, after the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the scholars in the south also guarded against the north, because they were afraid that after the Southern Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition recovered the north, the Song Dynasty's capital would move north, and the southerners would be taxed more heavily to restore the northern part of the country, so they had always opposed the Northern Expedition. Even if Yue Fei is going to win, he will go straight to the Huanglong Mansion, and he will still be called back and executed. The Southern Song Dynasty, from the common people to the scholars, were all against the Northern Expedition.

Therefore, in history, Yue Fei's death was not because of Qin Hui, not because of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou. It's because of the opposition of the people, but because of current events. The struggle between the northern and southern scholars who continued the two Song Dynasty was the root cause of Yue Fei's murder.

The inability of the Great Song Dynasty to have an absolute economic center like Guanzhong like the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties was the root cause of the Song Dynasty's lack of martial arts. Later generations often said that the Song Dynasty was because of the loss of the production area of war horses, which led to the lack of martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty and the emergence of the weak Song Dynasty. This concept is very narrow and does not stand up to scrutiny.

In fact, the real reason is that the Guanzhong area is overdeveloped and soil erosion is serious, which makes the Tang and Song dynasties lose the economic center that dominates the world. Because of this, the Tang Dynasty finally led to the division of the feudal towns, and the Tang Dynasty was finally destroyed by the feudal towns. Because of this, the Song Dynasty had to adopt the national policy of strong cadres and weak branches, which eventually led to the emergence of the weak Song Dynasty.

Before the Tang Dynasty, all dynasties that ruled the world were based in Guanzhong and finally swept the world. And from the five generations later Zhou, such a center was missing. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that the two absolute economic centers of Beijing and Nanjing appeared. Because the northeast was developed to a certain extent in the Liaojin and Jin dynasties, and the south was also developed in the two Song dynasties, the dynasty that ruled the world changed between Beijing and Nanjing.

Of course, Zhao Ji was not aware of this problem, but he supported businessmen and appointed a large number of southerners, and to a certain extent, the contradiction between the north and the south was made public in advance. Therefore, he was strongly opposed by the northern scholars, and even pushed him off the throne.

After Zhao Ji regained the throne strongly, he wantonly purged the northern scholars and instituted a military dictatorship. Forcibly moved the clan to Shangjing, and moved the northern wealthy families to Jiangning to set up workshops. Fortunately, neither Shangjing nor Jiangning broke through the bottom line of the northern scholars, and if the capital was moved to Hangzhou, then it would definitely be a civil war.

Zhao Ji didn't realize it, but Wang Anshi did. Therefore, there is a compromise between the north and the south scholars, and there is a compromise between the national cabinet and the business alliance. After Wang Anshi presided over the political affairs hall, he spared no national strength and transferred 6 million people from the north to develop Huguang at one time, and made every effort to exterminate the southwest Yi.

The establishment of Jiangning as the capital was a tipping point, and the immigration of a large number of northerners to the south would help to gradually eliminate this contradiction and eliminate the dispute between the north and the south. With Jiangning as the center, the surrounding Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Shangjing and other important cities will be developed, and the Yangtze River estuary will be built into the absolute economic center of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the Great Song Dynasty can completely eliminate the contradiction between the north and the south, and only then can it have the power to sweep the world like the Sui and Tang dynasties. The restoration of the Sui-Tang Grand Canal and the control of the Yellow River will help control the north.

The development of the Yangtze River estuary with Jiangning as the center will definitely require a large number of northern populations to fill in. And this geographical location is not very southern, and it will not make northerners rebel because of the climate and the reason of being far from their homeland.

Without the emergence of Zhao Ji's power, without Zhao Ji's support for the southern scholars, and the northern scholars absolutely controlling the court and having the absolute right to speak, such a development plan would not have been possible at all. In history, Wang Anshi's failure to change the law was because Song Shenzong was also a northerner, and he was biased towards northern scholars in his bones, which led to the failure of the reform.

The current Zhao Ji is a southerner who has traveled through later generations, and he has a worshipful trust in Wang Anshi. In addition, because it is a time travel, I know the direction of historical development. Zhao Ji invisibly played an important role in changing history.

Sima Guang is also aware of this problem, which is why there is next year's general election. The northern scholars lost the support of Zhao Ji and the protection of the imperial power, so they had to rely on Zhao Ji to set up an election system for four universities to confront Zhao Ji and prevent Zhao Ji from doing anything wrong.

Maybe these are not Zhao Ji's original intentions, but in the dark, the Great Song Dynasty has the foundation for its rise, the Great Song Dynasty has avoided the fate of being destroyed by the Mongols, and the Chinese civilization also has the hope of moving towards modern industrial civilization independently!
