Chapter 148: Exhilarating

An additional 500,000 militia would be levied, and that would be an army of 1.5 million.

A soldier's salary for a month is six taels of silver.

In that month, he had to pay 9 million taels of military salaries.

A soldier eats four stone of grain a month.

In that month, the imperial court needed to transport six million stone of grain.

In other words, the more than 40 million taels of silver and 27 million stone grains that Zhao Shuo took from his house.

It can only be spent for half a year for this large army.

Silver, in particular, was just enough for three months.

It's still a bit stretched!

It's too TM hard.

And that's just military spending.

At this juncture, military spending is still a small expenditure.

The real big head is the construction of the military town.

In the final analysis, it is still about infrastructure.

This thing is the real Gold Eater.

In addition, there are still many refugees in many places in the Great Song Dynasty.

The imperial court also needed to give them silver taels for disaster relief.

Let's do the math in general terms.

The amount of money Zhao Shuo needs to spend now cannot be measured by numbers.

So, where to go for money?

Zhao Shuo fell into deep thought.

Early in the morning, Chen Xinghan had already set off from Bianliang City to the northwest.

During this period, he would lead the 200,000 righteous army under the command of Zhao Di, the Duke of Xu Guogong in Beijing, to the northwest together.

After Chen Xinghan arrived in the Northwest Strategy, he was the commander of the party with the most troops in the Great Song Dynasty.

He will have 500,000 people by then.

Can it be the straw that overwhelms the Jin country at a critical moment.

It's all up to him to transform the Northwest into what it looks like.

The next day, Zong Ze also took his cronies and returned to Hebei to join the army of Cheng'an County.

On the same day, Uncle Zhang and his two sons returned to the northern military town.

Just after all the generals returned to their stations.

Zhao Shuo also came up with a way to boost the morale of the military and civilians and at the same time exciting.

That is the tax policy in Hebei, Shandong and most of Shanxi in the area where the Jin people attacked head-on.

Waiver of all!

In addition, land was distributed to farmers.

Such news, in the current Great Song Dynasty, is simply a bolt from the blue.

Because the Great Song Dynasty has not had such a benevolent government for more than 100 years.

In order to publicize the policy of loving the people like children on a large scale, and also to mobilize the homeland meaning of the common people in the border areas to the greatest extent.

Zhao Shuo personally took up the pen and wrote a new issue of "Anti-Jin Strategy".

Soon, the news spread all over the country.

The people of the world are illiterate.

Zhao Shuo also doesn't like people to be able to sing the praises of his kindness and sages.

He just thinks that those people can roughly think that this emperor's reign is very good to them.

That's enough.

This is public opinion!

In addition, the emperor ordered the beheading of eighty-one corrupt officials at noon.

Caishikou beheaded 170 unscrupulous merchants.

All these means have proved that this year's Great Song Emperor does not engage in vain things.

It's about getting straight to the ground.

Even after Uncle Zhang received such news, he couldn't help beating his chest excitedly and praised: "Your Majesty, it is really an unprecedented saint monarch. ”

The commanders and generals of several other aspects were also so praised.

Especially Yue Fei, who was stationed in Cheng'an County, felt that his ambition was burning in his chest at this moment.

At any time, I am willing to go to the soup for the people and this country!

Zhao Shuo's move not only made a big splash of fame in Bianliang City.

It has simply conquered all the people in the world.

Just like a great drought and a rainstorm.

At this moment, there is no need for Zhao Shuo to plead with the common people to tide over the difficulties together.

On the contrary, the people of the world can't wait to support the emperor's world!

Actually, Zhao Shuo is also very clear.

Now the treasury is empty, and the military salaries and grain and grass cannot help but be tossed.

Instead of racking their brains to squeeze the common people, it is better to simply give them a free ride.

Besides, can the common people squeeze?

Even if they could, the people of the Great Song Dynasty now have no oil and water.

They were all squeezed dry by Tong Guan and Cai Jing during the Song Huizong period.

Let's talk about Shandong, Shanxi and Hebei.

These places were themselves destroyed by the Jin army.

Many farmers have been forced to relocate.

It was also after the retreat of the Jin army that Zhao Shuo reissued the policy.

Add fields to everyone, and the people will gradually return to their homes.

On this basis, this year's fields have just been sown.

It is almost impossible to collect taxes.

Therefore, instead of being awkward, it is better to avoid it directly, but let the people think more about those fields.

That way, refugees won't be like headless flies scurrying around.

At this stage, officials do not know.

But Zhao Shuo knew it very well.

There are at least a million people in the Great Song Dynasty, scattered in various poor and remote areas, and they are the owners of cottages.

For example, bandit dens like Shuibo Liangshan can be seen everywhere.

It's just that they're all refugees.

In addition, now that the imperial court continues to issue benevolent and righteous policies, they have not come out to make trouble.

On the contrary, many people began to leave the cottage and go home to farm.

Therefore, Zhao Shuo's policy is the fundamental solution to the problem.

Next, to collect taxes, the focus is still on the south.

After all, during the Great Song Dynasty, except for Hangzhou, there was basically no loss in the south.

So much so that when the historical Zhao Gou established the Great Song Dynasty south of the Yellow River, he soon received the support of the local wealthy nobles.

The national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty, at its peak, was richer than the entire Great Song Dynasty.

When you think about it, you know what the problem is.

So why did Li Yanhui prepare so much grain in half a month in the south?

It's actually quite simple.

Because the wealthy nobles in the south are unwilling to cut meat.

To be precise, they want to stock up on supplies and wait for the next big changes in the world.

Zhao Shuo has to study this question carefully......

Meanwhile.

The army was defeated in Bianliang City, and then defeated into Anjun, and finally retreated to the Taiyuan military town in disgrace, and was also working hard to prepare for the next strategic military supply to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, he had to pay attention to the situation in Luzhou City (now Changzhi, Shanxi).

Most of Shanxi was the territory of the Jin people at this time.

With the Shanggu of Hebei and the Northern Liao Military Town, it formed the three-in-command of the Great Song Dynasty.

In order to consolidate the three major military towns that the Jin people had just defeated, and also to better manage the people of the Great Song Dynasty here.

Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai on the other side of the Five Kingdoms of the Jin Dynasty authorized Sticky Han to establish a puppet Song regime in Luzhou.

It is equivalent to the Taiyuan military town where Muhan is now located, as well as the Shanggu and Liaodong military towns, which are independent kingdoms supported by the Jin State.

As a buffer state between the Jin Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty.

It is known as the Northern Jin Kingdom.

The emperor is their puppet Zhang Bangchang.

Zhang Bangchang in history, after the Jingkang disaster, was left in Bianliang City by the Jin people to establish the Chu State.

became emperor.

Later, he discovered that Song Huizong's sons also had a Kang king, Zhao Gou, who had not been taken captive by the Jin.

Moreover, Zhao Gou is also the co-leader of the world's righteous army.

Therefore, Zhang Bangchang did not dare to be the emperor, so he hurriedly invited Zhao Gou to re-establish the Southern Song Dynasty regime.
