Chapter 16 Road Construction Nationwide

As the most deterrent strategic weapon of the Great Song Dynasty, the cannon only exists in the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, and the entire Great Song Dynasty knows about this matter, and the people who know about it can be counted with one hand, after all, this kind of thing is too powerful, and the number is too small, if it is exposed too early, I am afraid it will cause the hostility of the neighbors of the Great Song Dynasty and even lead to war, so the secret of the artillery is retained, and when the number of artillery does not reach a thousand, I am afraid it will not be known to the world, so at the end of the third year of the Great Song Dynasty, The most concerning issue in the entire Great Song Dynasty was not artillery, but cement avenues.

If you want to get rich, build roads first! This slogan is suitable for any era, since the completion of the construction of the cement avenue from Bianjing to Jingzhaofu, the traffic from Bianjing to Jingzhaofu has prospered more than ten times, and the business of the entire Jingxi Road is stimulated by the cement avenue to develop quickly, and the real estate on the cement avenue alone has increased in value by three times, plus the exhibition of carriages and horses and coolies, and at the same time let countless landlords on Jingxi Road take out the money hidden in it and start investing in business, and the exhibition of Jingxi Road is a sight to behold.

From the end of September after the completion of the cement road from Bianjing to Jingzhaofu, the cement road from Bianjing to the Daimyofu also began to be built, and at the same time, the administrative officials of the Great Song Dynasty asked to build the road like a snowflake flew to Bianjing, in just one month, it has been piled up into a house, this kind of folding degree is much faster than when the court ministers impeached Fan Zhongyan, the official Zhao Zhen soon put the road repair matter on the urgent need to handle official business, and began to comprehensively discuss the construction of the cement road.

At the time of the three-day court meeting, the Huangyi Hall was full of hundreds of officials of the Song Dynasty, and many officials had folds on their cuffs. With the power of the Great Song Dynasty, cement avenues were built throughout the Great Song Dynasty.

"Enlighten the official family! The cement avenue from Bianjing to Jingzhaofu has been tested, and the effect is obvious, which is not only conducive to the local court order, but also can promote the prosperity of local commerce, which can be said to benefit the country and the people.

However, after all, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute is lonely, and the land can be requisitioned for only 20,000 people, just a thousand miles of cement avenue. It will take more than a year, thinking that the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is millions of miles, and with the power of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, I want to build a cement highway through the four sides of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, the minister thought that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute could decentralize the cement formula to the locality, and let each road make cement to build a cement avenue by itself, so that it would not be allowed to build a cement avenue through the four sides of the Great Song Dynasty in a few years, and the imperial court's control over the local area would be greatly increased, and my Great Song Dynasty would be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time! "After the beginning of the Great Pilgrimage. As soon as Gan Ling's words about the opening of the dynasty fell, a member of the Third Division Yamen came out and talked to the official Zhao Zhen Langlang.

This Zhao Lei, who didn't even know his name, just finished speaking. The official Zhao Zhen, His Royal Highness, the two prime ministers of the court, Du Yan and Wang Su, as well as the governors Wang Yiyong and Zheng Jian, and other important ministers of the court, looked difficult to look at each other, and Ye Qingchen, the third envoy, was even more angry, and he couldn't wait to kick this fool to death.

You must know that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute of the Great Song Dynasty is the most confidential yamen of the Great Song Dynasty, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute of Tens of thousands of people living is already a small city that can only enter and not exit, and every kind of thing in it is highly secret, and the court is afraid of being known by others and then spread to other countries, and the cement formula is the key object of secrecy, and the importance of cement is not to build roads at all, but to build strong castle fortresses. It's just that now the Great Song Dynasty and Xia Liao are in a period of harmony, and they dare not blatantly build fortresses on the border, so they will focus on building roads, once the cement formula flows into Xia Liao's hands. Xia Liao knew the importance of cement in the construction of castle fortresses, and with the capabilities of the two countries, I am afraid it would not take a few years. The Great Song Dynasty will have to face a bunch of cement fortresses on the border, and Zhao Lei's artillery will be much weaker against the cement fortresses, and at that time, the Great Song Dynasty will need to station more troops on the border, so that the burden on the court will be heavier, and it will further affect the domestic situation, and the consequences will be very serious.

I think that grenades and mines were also protected in the logistics yamen of the New Army, the predecessor of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, but later Chen Yaozuo, the privy envoy, was assigned to the various armies of the Great Song Dynasty, and many grenades and mines flowed into the hands of Western Xia and Liao through various channels.

Now the third division member Wai Lang actually proposed to divide the cement formula into different ways, isn't it obvious that Xia Liao wants to be cheaper! Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Great Song Dynasty and Xia Liao for decades, Xia Liao's infiltration of the Great Song Dynasty has been very serious, at least one percent of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty have maintained more or less contact with Xia Liao, once the cement formula is decentralized, it will only take a month, Xia Liao will definitely get the formula, really wait until Xia Liao begins to build a cement fortress, who will resist the responsibility for the leakage of the cement formula at that time, the grenades and mines flowed to Xia Liao and the two countries, but the responsibility of the privy envoy Chen Yao Zuo to resist, is it necessary to make Ye Qingchen to resist this time!

"Never! The cement formula is a secret of the country, how can it be easily leaked, the cement output of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute is not high, the number of laborers can be increased, the place is not enough, the area of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute can be increased, the raw materials are insufficient, and the manpower can be increased to mine raw materials, absolutely not

The mud recipe leaks. The third envoy Ye Qingchen hurriedly cleared up the relationship and retorted, he didn't want to redirect Chen Yaozuo's mistakes, Chen Yaozuo was degraded to Luzon by his officials and died there, Ye Qingchen was still young and didn't want to go to Luzon to blow the sea breeze to retire.

Wai Lang, the third division member who asked for the decentralization of the cement formula, looked at the anger in the eyes of his boss Ye Qingchen, and felt very wronged in his heart, he felt that his suggestion was very good, but he didn't know why everyone disagreed, wasn't it just the cement for road construction! It's Xia Liao who got him, do you want to build roads on the grassland, let cement and other things that destroy the land occupy the precious grassland on the grassland, and think that Xia Liao and Xia Liao will not agree to build cement highways, since Xia Liao will not build roads, why not put the cement formula to the place!

No matter how naΓ―ve the three division members Wailang felt wronged, with the affirmation of the official Zhao Zhen and the consent of the important ministers of the imperial court, it was absolutely impossible for the cement formula to be leaked, and the three division members who proposed to decentralize the cement formula, Wailang, was transferred to Lingnan to manage the savages.

………………………………

Since the cement formula cannot be leaked, and increasing cement production is an urgent matter, expanding the establishment of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute and strengthening the labor force of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute have become the most urgent things for the imperial court.

"The minister thinks that the labor of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute is too weak, and it will take a year to spend thousands of miles of cement avenue, which is too slow, and the imperial court can requisition one million taels of peasant laborers, and it will not take ten years to cover all the main official roads of the Great Song Dynasty." In order to strengthen the authority of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Yuan, Prime Minister Wang Su put forward a plan that he had been considering for a long time.

Wang Su's plan has just been proposed, and the entire Imperial Palace is in an uproar, millions of laborers! This is a rare large-scale effort, you must know that in the twenty-one years after the official Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne, the imperial court used only two projects of one million laborers, the first was to repair the old road of the Yellow River ten years ago, the court requisitioned millions of people, and it took three years to repair the old road of the Yellow River, so that the Yellow River was quiet for several years. The second item is that in the middle and late stages of the Song-Xia War, the logistics supply of hundreds of thousands of troops on the Yongxing Military Road was insufficient, and the imperial court once again requisitioned millions of people to transport supplies from the Great Song Dynasty to Yan'an Mansion, which took nine months.

Although the population of the Great Song Dynasty was hundreds of millions, the use of one percent of the people for oral labor not only greatly affected agricultural production, but also had a great impact on industry and commerce, so after the Song and Xia Wars, the prices of the Great Song Dynasty soared for almost a year, and inflation began, and it was not until the war was completely over that it slowly recovered.

"No! The imperial court has just calmed down the soaring prices, and has just smoothed the negative impact on the Great Song Dynasty after the war, if millions of laborers are requisitioned at this time, it will definitely affect agricultural production and the industrial and commercial industry, and more serious is the accumulation of national strength of the imperial court for decades, because the repair of the Yellow River and the resistance to the Western Xia consumed a lot, and now most of the grain in the official warehouses is exhausted, and millions of laborers are requisitioned, what does the imperial court take to feed them. Du Yan was the first to jump out and refute Wang Su and said.

"Lord Du is right, within ten years, two consecutive requisitions of millions of laborers, the people have been unbearable, and now Xia Liao is hostile, it is a good time for my Great Song Dynasty to recuperate, if one million laborers are requisitioned again, it will inevitably cause social turmoil, and the officials should think twice!" Wang Yiyong, the governor of the government, also stood up to refute Wang Su's plan and said.

"Millions of servitude! To put it simply, let's go there to conquer, the battle of Song and Xia, the border army of Yongxing Army Road and the forbidden army in Beijing suffered heavy losses, more than 100,000 people were killed, captured and fled, and now the Privy Council is still considering how to recruit 100,000 soldiers, if at this time to levy millions of soldiers, the forbidden army and the border army vacant soldiers we will go there to replenish. The privy envoy Song Shou also stood up to refute Wang Su's proposal and said.

The words of the privy envoy Song Shou made the official Zhao Zhen also began to have a headache, the recruitment of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty has become a chronic disease, except for the North Fifth Road, the people of the Great Song Dynasty are not shrouded in the shadow of war, and they are unwilling to join the low-status army, and the soldiers who are replenished in the army every year, except for the Song people of the North Fifth Road, are mostly worthy prisoners, in this case, the morale of the Great Song Dynasty army has always been low, even loyalty cannot be guaranteed, in order to prevent desertion, even the inhumane thing such as face tattoos has been made, which shows how the morale of the Great Song Dynasty army is.

How can we build roads and recruit soldiers? The official Zhao Zhen looked in the direction where Zhao Lei was standing in the main hall with a little headache.

"Official! The imperial court can requisition 100,000 laborers to make cement, and then transport the cement to the locality, and each road will bear the responsibility of building the road, which will not affect the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time can speed up the pace of road repair projects, why not! Zhao Lei pondered for a while, and said with the thoughts in his heart.

"Good! Everything is according to what Aiqing said! Zhao Lei's answer was very much in line with the official Zhao Zhen's thoughts, so he immediately agreed.

In this way, the construction of a cement highway covering the whole country has become the most important and urgent government affairs of the Great Song Dynasty.
