"So that the people have grievances that are difficult to redress, causing the people's grievances to boil."

"Now the country is facing an unprecedented and difficult challenge, and the northern army has no food to eat, so they have to buy food from them at a price higher than the market price."

"There are even people who have made a big suggestion to continue to raise taxes on farmers."

"Those corrupt officials should be killed! And it's not a pity to kill and die. ”

"But even if they are killed, the problem will have to be solved."

"Those good fields......

As soon as Zhao Shuo mentioned this, Chen Dong was already completely proficient.

"Your Majesty, the lower official understands."

"It's good to understand, now I want to reuse you, the fertile land expropriated by the imperial court during this period is calculated in tens of millions of acres. I will give you that vast tract of land, and you will give me the food to meet the agricultural season. ”

"Your Majesty, the lower officials will do it, and next autumn, the lower officials will return your majesty ten large granaries with a scale of tens of millions of stones."

Chen Dong was indignant, and his impassioned state at this moment made Zhao Shuo feel that he had not chosen the wrong person.

"Well, you should go and prepare quickly, in addition, I have instructed the Ministry of Officials, and you will be the right servant of the Ministry of Households."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Chen Dong suppressed the excitement in his heart and withdrew from the hall.

The right waiter of the household department, from the third product.

All at once, it crossed from six to three.

Such a promotion is already a god speed.

You must know that he was born poor and his family was ruined.

Whether it is family property or connections, he has nothing.

The rapid promotion of such a person was a miracle in ancient times.

Subsequently, the Ministry of Officials issued Chen Dong's official appointment.

The next day, the Great Song Dynasty Bianliang Cheng's "Policy Theory" issued Juntian's new policy.

At present, the four cities divided around Bianliang City are pilots.

Distribute the fertile land.

Knowing the miscellaneous taxes, the imperial court only levied two stones of grain on one acre of land.

Some say it's not a tax?

No!

Zhao Shuo's policy, farmers pay one mu and two stones of grain every year.

It is equivalent to field rent.

This exempted the previous household tax, plough tax, water tax and seed tax in the Great Song Dynasty.

As soon as such a favorable release was released, it caused a strong sensation among the people.

Although those people who were oppressed by the bureaucracy were illiterate, they were also pointed out and explained by others.

Hysterical chest thumping and stomping.

Some people even cried and knelt on the ground with emotion, and bowed their hands to God!

The people living at the bottom would never have dreamed that they would encounter such a good thing in their lifetime.

That's right, when everyone first saw it, they couldn't believe it.

Is the court going to divide the land?

And it's tax-free?

But everyone looked at the red clay seal engraved on the announcement that was absolutely not false.

It is the exclusive seal of His Majesty.

There is no such thing as a fake.

"Today's saints, Hong Fu Qi Tian."

"Long live my emperor......"

The people in Bianliang City and the refugees who poured in from outside the city knelt and prostrate one after another.

This scene, Zhao Shuo couldn't see it in the deep palace.

But he could imagine it.

The common people are the source of the world.

The smiles on the faces of the people determine the strength of the dynasty.

In any historical dynasty, the common people are not satisfied, and the dynasty is destined to have a short life.

As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky.

The army is strong on food.

This is true of the people, and even more so of the army.

What made Zhao Shuo most uneasy was the bloody past of the annihilation of the Northwest Seed Army.

It happened just four months ago.

The small breed army that was once respected by the heroes of Liangshan in the Water Margin was commanded by the commander of the Slight Minister, guarding Taiyuan.

I fought with Sticky Han for a month.

Why did Sticky Han get such a high honor and reward after returning to the Five Kingdoms City?

It was the small species that made him famous.

The small races of the Great Song Dynasty were slightly more than the same, and the seed division fought with the sticky Han until the final chapter.

So as to make the sticky rare ambition.

This is why Sticky Han defended Taiyuan and conquered the upper valley.

Then, two months ago, he moved south and surrounded Bianliang City.

But in Zhao Shuo's eyes, he only hated that he hadn't crossed half a year earlier.

Because the small race is slightly related to the family army, it will not come to the point of annihilation of the whole army at all.

The reason why such an incident happened was precisely because there was no food in the army, let alone a salary to stabilize the morale of the army.

Even if it is an ace army like the family army, the soldiers are also blatantly mutinied without being able to eat.

This gave Sticky Han the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and steal the Taiyuan Military Town.

But!

Before Sticky Han did not besiege Bianliang City, the Great Song Dynasty had money!

There is also food!

Why don't you send grain to the Taiyuan military town?

In fact, no matter how stupid Song Huizong was, he knew the importance of food in the army.

He sent.

During the Battle of Taiyuan, he ordered the western transfer envoy to raise 800,000 stone grain and grass for Taiyuan.

In order to prepare for the long-term defense of the family army.

If the 800,000 stone grain really reaches the hands of the planters.

Relying on the danger of Yanmen Pass and the geographical advantages of Taiyuan, his seed army had no problem holding on for half a year.

Then there will be no siege of Bianliang City and anything to do with Jingkang.

The imperial power could also support Taiyuan from the rear one after another.

But the problem is that when the Jin army attacked Taiyuan, the food and grass of the planters were already in an emergency.

And it was an emergency half a month in advance.

wrote to the emperor one after another, and finally received 800,000 stone aids.

But grain and grass are just an empty number.

The western transshipment made the direct investment of gold!!

That is enough food for the army to use for a year, and the planter army naturally cannot enjoy it.

Even so, there is a chance to be rescued.

Because the family army held on to Taiyuan for more than a month.

At that time, the area was not disturbed by gold thieves.

The officials and the local tycoons, the food they hoarded was moldy.

The planter is the same as Zong Ze and buys grain from the merchants.

Not to mention the outrageous high price, the key is that he doesn't have silver taels.

There are more and more dilemmas to make matters worse.

In the end, after many years of bloody battles with Western Xia in the northwest and sacrificing countless warriors, the planter army who had never frowned prayed for a mouthful of food to maintain physical strength, mutinied!

The army was defeated and killed, and Taiyuan fell!

Therefore, food is particularly important in Zhao Shuo's heart.

Even at this stage, to be exact.

The reserve of grain is still the foundation of the invincible position of the Great Song Dynasty.

Speaking of the family army, I thought of Western Xia.

When the Great Song Dynasty was in power in Shenzong, he attacked Western Xia in five ways.

As a result, the grain and grass could not keep up.

Or when the grain and grass are gone, there is a lot, and when they get to the front line, it is not enough for a few days!

As a result, the entire army of the Five Routes was defeated.

You must know that at that time, if the supply of grain and grass arrived, the history of the Western Xia Kingdom would have been completely interrupted a few decades ago.

Western Xia!

When Zhao Shuo thought of that country, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his liver.

It would be nice if Da Song could be in harmony with this little brother back then.

But now, the Northwest Army has lost famous generals one after another.

When Chen Xinghan arrived in the northwest, although there were many soldiers and horses, most of them were recruits who had never been on the battlefield.

At this juncture, Zhao Shuo will never allow Xixia to come out and do things.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuo had a usable person in his mind.
