Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Death of the Tyrant

The contradiction of ideas is the main contradiction. Wen Yanbo, on behalf of the northern scholars, clearly told Zhao Ji: "The saint and the scholars rule the world together, not with the people!" Directly told Zhao Ji that the scholar doctor was the foundation of the emperor's rule over the world, and on this basis, he opposed Zhao Ji's opening of the military ban.

And Cai Jing represented the southern scholar doctor and clearly told Zhao Ji: "The world of China, the world of the ancestors, the world of the ministers, the surname, and the three armies are not the world of Your Majesty." "Tell Zhao Ji directly that the world is not owned by the monarch, but shared by all the people in the world. And on the basis of this reason, he strongly favored the opening of the ban on arms and the opening of the imperial court monopoly.

The Southern Scholars undoubtedly represent the great merchants of the southeast and represent the emerging commodity economic ideas. Now Zhao Ji is a traverser, and finally supported the southern scholars, so there is the current moving capital.

However, Zhao Ji in history was a northerner, although he used Wang Anshi's reform, but he always gave Wang Anshi a lot of constraints, and finally Wang Anshi's change failed. Many contradictions in the Northern Song Dynasty were won by the former, and the Song Dynasty left the image of a weak Song Dynasty to later generations, a regret that the country was ruined and the civilization was interrupted.

And Cai Jing, a person with advanced ideas, is an image of a traitorous minister in history. The reason is that Wang Anshi's reform failed, and the people who represent traditional ideas control the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and have the absolute right to speak without opposition.

"Well, may God bless the Great Song." Sima Guang said prayerfully, and then asked, "Did Northern Liao and Western Xia agree to come to the Alliance?" ”

After all, Sima Guang is not in the political hall now, and many things can only be known through Wang Anshi.

"Not only Western Xia and Northern Liao, but also Dali, Goryeo, Japan, Jiaozhi, and Srivijaya will all come." Wang Anshi responded, there is a kind of joy that all countries are coming to court.

"How is the content of the alliance discussed by the government hall? Do we really want to support other countries in clearing the wasteland, just as we did with Japan? You must know that even if they support their land reclamation, they will not have any grain to sell to the Great Song Dynasty, and the same is true for copper and iron. If they continue to increase their population because of the opening of the wasteland, so as to pull up a huge army, then the Great Song Dynasty will be surrounded by all the powers in the future. After all, they are not Japan, and they and the Great Song Dynasty were generally established on the land of the former Tang Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty believed that it had inherited the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, so it was impossible to give up the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties. They also understand this, and the territorial struggle is an unavoidable reality. Sima Guang said worriedly.

Sima Guang got to the point, the idea of China's great unification determines the unavoidable contradictions of the Chinese countries.

"They will get stronger, but Da Song will only be stronger. When the waterways in various places are built, the Great Song Dynasty has no worries about food at all. Moreover, a large increase in population can not be achieved in a few decades, they do not have this population base, even if their population doubles, compared to the Great Song Dynasty, the population size is still not worth mentioning. Supporting them to open up wasteland is conducive to stimulating the development of industry and commerce in the Great Song Dynasty. Our Great Song Dynasty also doesn't want their copper and iron, but wants to export copper and iron to them. However, their copper and iron ore can only be exported to the Great Song Dynasty. Supporting them in opening up the wasteland is also to transfer the competition in the army's combat strength to a competition in the performance of governing the country. Western Xia and Northern Liao were both bitter cold lands, and if they supported them economically, they would definitely not refuse and raise a large army. If the military affairs are not prosperous, the Great Song Dynasty can concentrate its efforts on doing a good job in internal affairs. Wang Anshi analyzed.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi are completely two different types of talents. Sima Guang is good at governing people, and Wang Anshi is good at governing things. This is where the difference between a historian and an economist lies.

Jiefu said that the next ten years are really exciting. Large-scale construction of waterways, access to all parts of the Great Song Dynasty, and then along the waterway to build Chi Road, all places in the Great Song Dynasty will be integrated on the basis of the waterway Chi Road, from then on, the Great Song Dynasty no longer has the worry of separating the town. Literature is prosperous, all industries are prosperous, living and working in peace and contentment, and the rule of Zhenguan cannot be compared. Sima Guang said longingly.

When Wang Anshi brought back Zhao Ji's holy decree to support the great rule of the world from Liuqiu, Sima Guang was extremely excited. Because, the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty will be realized in their hands!

"Yes. Once the waterways in various places are built, all parts of the Great Song Dynasty can communicate with each other. Grain and grass will be reduced in transportation consumption, and the mobilization of troops will be faster. At that time, were you still afraid of Western Xia and Northern Liao? At that time, it was time for the official family to lead the Great Song Iron Army to sweep the world! Wang Shao, the secretary of the military department, supported.

For a dynasty that has just ended the troubled times and dominated the world, it is an inevitable choice to build waterways and gallop roads. The reason for this is to achieve mutual communication, facilitate the transportation of grain and grass, and the mobilization of troops, so as to ensure the unity of the empire.

Qin Shi Huang took Xianyang as the center and built a gallop road to reach the border. He also built a spiritual canal to transport grain and grass, and thus conquered Baiyue.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty took Luoyang as the center, overhauled the Chidao waterway, the famous Sui and Tang Dynasty Grand Canal is his masterpiece, and the Sui Dynasty built a lot of water conservancy projects, even the Qinghai region in later generations are still using the water conservancy projects built by the Sui Dynasty. It was the foreshadowing of the Sui Dynasty that led to the Tang Dynasty's cultural and martial arts.

The Song Dynasty learned the lessons of various dynasties, did not build too many water conservancy projects, did not build gallop roads, because it was afraid of wasting people's power and causing chaos in the world. However, the Song Dynasty also did the best, directly adopting the national policy of strong cadres and weak branches, and taking away all local financial resources. This kind of policy of weakening the world and weakening the people directly led to the emergence of the weak Song Dynasty.

In the Yuan Dynasty, in order to wipe the ass of the Song Dynasty, the water conservancy projects built were almost twice as many as those built by the two Song Dynasty. You must know that the national fortune of the Yuan Dynasty was less than 100 years, and the water conservancy projects built in these 100 years have reached twice the water conservancy projects built in the two Song and Song dynasties for more than 300 years, and the amount of this project is very amazing.

It is a fact that the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and caused a great regression in Chinese history. Because the economic, political, ideological, and cultural systems of the Yuan Dynasty were a patchwork of the old Mongolian system and the Jin system, which was very backward compared to the Song Dynasty. An obvious example is the sea ban, which was issued four times in less than a hundred years of national fortune in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, the Ming Dynasty probably inherited the social system of the Yuan Dynasty, and from this point of view, there was really no China after Yashan.

However, from the perspective of the development of traditional agricultural society, the Yuan Dynasty unified China and made progress. From the Yuan Dynasty onwards, China's territory expanded and the area of cultivated land increased dramatically, which is a good example.

The two sides of history are here, purely in terms of the progress of the agricultural society, the Yuan Dynasty was progressive, and in terms of the progress of the civilized society, the Yuan Dynasty was a bad regression.

The Yuan Dynasty built too many water conservancy projects, and the two most famous projects were the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yellow River into the Bohai Sea. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Yuan Dynasty was wiping the ass of the Song Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty has been fighting against the Yellow River for almost a hundred years. Until the eve of the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, Totok, was still renovating the Yellow River. In the end, the Yellow River was provoked to rebel, and the Yuan Dynasty perished.

Since the Song Dynasty established the capital of Bianjing, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River have been overdeveloped, causing soil erosion and finally turning the Yellow River into a dangerous river. This dangerous river began in the Song Dynasty, and it broke its embankment twice in three years and changed its course once in a hundred years, causing heavy disasters to the Chinese nation. This catastrophe will continue to be a catastrophe for later republics. Later republics had to divert water from the south to the north, and had to spend huge sums of money to clean up the Yellow River.

From the perspective of a purely agrarian society, the contribution of the Yuan Dynasty was far greater than that of the Song Dynasty. It is precisely because of the great unification of the Yuan Dynasty and the large-scale construction of water conservancy projects in the Yuan Dynasty that China can completely eliminate local divisions and maintain the great unification of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and even the Republic of China and the Republic. The construction of waterways is the main artery of the country, and only when the arteries are connected can the estrangement between regions be eliminated and the unity of the country maintained.

When the Western powers invaded, if China could not maintain political unity, it would probably become a complete colony like India. In later generations, China had the third largest land in the world in terms of area, starting from the Yuan Dynasty!

Wang Anshi's policy of governing the world on a large scale, building waterways on a large scale, harnessing the Yellow River, and concentrating efforts on developing agriculture according to the conditions of various localities was not just a solution to the food crisis in the Great Song Dynasty. This is to establish the merit of passing on to all generations and blessings to all generations!

When Zhao Ji was still trembling, thinking about how to promote the development of industry and commerce through land development, and then give birth to modern industrial civilization, he did not know that just his arrival had changed the fate of the Song Dynasty and changed the course of Chinese history.

Through overseas expansion, the maximum amount of land can be obtained at the minimum cost, and then through land development, the development of industry and commerce will be stimulated, so that the Chinese civilization will be the original industrial civilization. This is a long way to go! Because the development of productive forces requires the accumulation of production experience in order to produce qualitative changes. And the accumulation of production experience requires a huge social economy.

Zhao Ji came over, busy for four years, Liuqiu has just stabilized, Huguang area, southwest mountainous area, just from the political hall to migrate six million people, and Jinzhou, Australia, is still a sprout.

Even if Zhao Ji does not see the day when this development path succeeds, even if this road does not work, even if the Song Dynasty may still perish. However, with Wang Anshi's plan to rule the world for ten years, and with Wang Anshi's ability to successfully complete his development plan, then, at least, it will definitely not be a foreign regime that will destroy the Song Dynasty, and at least there will be no drastic regression in Chinese civilization.

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the Wuchang Uprising, the establishment of the Republic of China, the abdication of the Qing Emperor, and the transformation from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China overnight. However, the country has not been divided, the nation has not been divided, China still has a unified political power, and the Chinese nation is still fighting against the invading Western powers under the leadership of the unified political power.

From the change of regime from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and from the fact that the Qing Dynasty did not die at the hands of Western powers, it can be seen that the waterway gallop played a role in eliminating local barriers, gathering national strength, and maintaining national unity.

As long as the country is not divided, as long as the nation is not divided, it will not be conquered by alien divisions, then it will be able to resist invasion and save its existence. The Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China is a positive example, while the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty is a negative example.

If it weren't for the Song Dynasty's national policy of strengthening the strong and weak branches, and not because of the gap between the north and the south caused by not paying attention to the construction of waterways, then the Song Dynasty would not have lost its northern territory, let alone not recover it if it had the ability to recover.

And it was precisely because the Song Dynasty lost its northern territory and the Central Plains, which caused a split within the nation, that the Song Dynasty finally died at the hands of the Mongolian regime. You must know that it was not the Mongolian iron cavalry that destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, but the Central Plains Han Army under the command of the Mongol regime. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains were called Han people, while the old people of the Southern Song Dynasty were called Nanren. At this time, in fact, the northerners and the southerners were no longer one nation, and could be said to be divided into two peoples.

Therefore, even if Zhao Ji fails, as long as Wang Anshi succeeds, then Zhao Ji can be regarded as a success. And the role that Zhao Ji played in changing the course of history was simply because he knew the development trend of history, and he naturally believed in and supported Wang Anshi.

From this, it can be said that the three short-lived dynasties of Qin, Sui and Yuan were the dynasties that really made great contributions to China's unification and long-term development. However, the monarchs who dominated these three dynasties were all regarded as great tyrants in history, and became the negative teaching materials of history. Zhao Ji seems to be walking towards the path of tyrants!
