Chapter 21: The Prince's Return (9)
"Dad, I want to go to the Kipchak Khanate with the mission to ask for guilt." Hao Kangxing said to Hao Ren in a hurry.
Hao Ren originally picked up a piece of chopsticks with fish-flavored shredded pork, but when he heard this, he was unhappy, so he put the shredded meat into the bowl and slapped the chopsticks on the table, "Don't go!" β
Hao Kang didn't expect his father to react like this, and asked puzzledly, "Why?" β
"You just won't be allowed to go." Hao Ren didn't want to explain too much about his son. Now the entire Yuan court is about to ask the Kipchak Khanate for its crimes, and these guys didn't expect what the Mongol Great Khan in Baghdad would think. Hao Ren knew that the current Great Khan Timur was very unkind to see the Kipchak Khanate, which often went to the Great Khan's territory to fight the autumn wind, but this did not mean that the Yuan State supported the Yuan State when the Kipchak Khanate and the Kipchak Khanate went to war.
At Hao Kang's age, how could he think that his father's idea was correct, he continued without giving up: "My father, why should you let those thieves go. Don't let them know now that it's amazing, and they'll come every year in the future. β
"Don't follow those people around." Hao Ren completely lost his appetite, and after saying this, he got up and left the table, leaving the family behind.
Back in the study, Hao Ren felt that these people were too real. According to the information gathered by Hao Ren, life in the territory of the Great Khan is not easy at the moment, and those people will not go hungry at most after a busy year. In Kiev, the capital of the Yuan Kingdom, the people have the common sense of using olive oil for cool and low-temperature cooking, and rapeseed oil for high-temperature cooking. In the previous paragraph, the news fed by various farmers hoped that the imperial court would send chefs down to teach the techniques of making cured meat and cooking food.
Once the Great Khan of Mongolia knew about the wealth of the Yuan Kingdom, God knows what would happen. Hao Ren didn't want to deal with the Mongol Great Khan, but that didn't mean that he wanted to break away from Mongolia now.
Feeling irritable, Hao Ren's eyes swept wildly, and he saw that everything in his study was Han. Could it be that the people of the Song Kingdom in the past also looked at the Mongols with the mood of not wanting to provoke the Mongols? After this thought came to him, Hao Ren suddenly burst out laughing. Although he was smiling happily, Hao Ren knew how helpless he was at this time.
Just smirked like this for a while, Hao Ren felt discouraged. He didn't want to make enemies on both sides, but the guys in the Yuan court obviously didn't think so. Hao Ren himself had no way to refuse the consensus of the courtiers β The Ministry of Political Affairs Shangshu came up with the figures, the current population of the Yuan Kingdom is between 4.5 million and 5 million, and from next year to the year after that, the total population of the Yuan Kingdom is expected to exceed 5 million with the newly born population plus the migrated population. This can be determined by waiting for the national census this year and next year, which is the 'year of books'.
According to the ratio of 2-4 elite soldiers out of 100 people, the Yuan State can form an elite army of 100,000 to 200,000. This figure is also completely in line with the 180,000 standing army plan that was far away before the Yuan Kingdom. Where will the 180,000 standing army be used after it is established? After defeating the Semu people, it can probably only be used to rebel.
If he is called the emperor, then he has to make the crown prince involuntarily thought of this, Hao Ren felt a little bored in his heart. Hao Kang is no longer the smart and well-behaved child in his memory, but an unpleasant stinky apricot.
Unable to think about it, Hao Ren simply went to take the state contract theory that he had studied many times and looked at it again. In the article on the great division of labor in human society, watching the separation of agricultural society and nomadic society create two different cultures and societies, Hao Ren is full of emotion in his heart. He used to just envy the agrarian society of the Han people, but he didn't expect the results of the agrarian society. Now the people of the Yuan Kingdom began to despise the Mongolsβ Miraculously, the pure Han people are better, the Mongols of the Yuan Kingdom who only knew how to herd a few years ago despised the Mongols who were still grazing, which was **naked and undisguised.
Putting down the book, Hao Ren felt as if he hadn't done anything and was the result of the sinicization that he had never expected. 'Han Er Jue Hu Er, but scolded the Han people to the city. It's really the ancients who don't deceive me.
When my father went to the study to sulk, Hao Kang, who was unhappy, went to the Ministry of Water Resources in frustration. Da Song's technicians are beginning to evacuate, and there is chaos in the Ministry of Water Resources. Logically, the Han people should not be allowed to know the situation of the mountains and rivers of the Yuan Kingdom, which is a necessary measure. Even if he understood this, Hao Kang had to anticipate the difficulties of the Ministry of Water Resources in the future, without these Great Song technicians, relying on those Mongols, Hao Kang's life would not be easy.
Seeing Hao Kang coming, the person in charge of the Great Song Water Conservancy personnel smiled and said, "Prince, this room will be handed over to you in the future." β
Hao Kang looked at the middle-aged man who was about thirty years old, and he didn't know what to say. After chatting with this person after returning to the Yuan Kingdom, I learned that the water conservancy expert of the Great Song Dynasty and Hao Kang's homeroom teacher were classmates of the same class, and they were students of another teacher of Hao Kang.
"Why are you upset?" The Great Song Water Conservancy expert asked.
"I didn't think you were leaving, how happy I was." Hao Kang replied.
Hearing this, the water conservancy expert smiled and said: "Prince, if you want to transform the river into the same way as we think, the cost alone can scare people to death." But if you look at it from another angle, water conservancy and water conservancy, it is a word of 'benefit', as long as the benefits are big enough, you can do it. At that time, Zhao Guanjia put forward a lot of plans, and the ministers of the DPRK and China simply said directly on the face of Zhao Guanjia, saying that he was the reincarnation of Emperor Yang of Sui. If you do this, something big will happen. β
"Oh? And after that? Hao Kang was immediately interested. Studying in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Guanjia is a topic that cannot be avoided. Hao Kang doesn't like Zhao Jiaren at all, as a descendant of the Erjin family, Hao Kang doesn't understand why his father Hao Ren respects Zhao Jiaren, the Mongolian disaster star, so much.
"After that, although the investment is huge, the benefits are even greater. In the past, the Great Song Dynasty regarded running transportation as a tree and collected taxes from the dead. After the Zhao official family came to power, they stuffed all the additional taxes on transportation, and only collected some business taxes. However, the tax on running boats is low, and many people come to run boats. Now the total amount of transportation has gone up, the price of goods has come down, and everyone has made money together. Now there are so many products in the Yuan Kingdom, and water conservancy and shipping have a great deal. "When it comes to the changes in the Great Song Dynasty, water conservancy experts are not proud.
Hao Kang was originally just perfunctory, but after listening to it, he became interested. The Great Song Dynasty is indeed rich, but this method of wealth is something that Hao Kang has not learned. He asked seriously: "I didn't expect the tax cut to have such an effect?" β
The water conservancy expert has much more knowledge than Hao Kang, and he corrected his junior's statement, "It's not a tax cut. It's about increasing output, increasing transactions. No matter how good the water conservancy is, if it cannot increase output and cannot be traded effectively, it will be a waste of money. These two points are where the benefits lie. If you review the project based on this, you won't be able to make a big mistake. β
Hao Kang felt that he had gained something, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, senior brother." Tell me a little bit more. β
