Zhang Jin, the commander of the infantry, is a steady person and is from a good family, and he may not have the idea of making meritorious contributions when he joins the army.

The general may be reprimanded, and he has mixed thoughts in his heart, but he speaks more tactfully.

"We follow the general, the future is immeasurable, if we change to someone else, it is estimated that it will be difficult to climb to a higher position in the army.

However, I will still try to stay in the army, brothers disarmed and returned to the field, if there is no official relationship, I am afraid that I will be bullied by foreigners in the future, I am willing to be your guarantee. ”

Everyone present knew that Zhang Jin had a desire for power, and he also respected this choice, and did not mean to ridicule him, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Wu Yu said: "General, if the imperial court wants to punish you, will you continue to stay in the army?" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan said: "This time I entered Beijing, I just wanted to see who the princes of the dynasty were, and the other is ...... I heard that Tong Shuai will have a disaster, after all, he has the grace of knowing me, and if he can repay it, he should repay it. ”

"And after that?" Wu Yu continued to ask.

"After that? Hehe, the world is so big, why not wander the world and pursue the pinnacle of martial arts! ”

"Over there, let Wu Yu continue to follow the general's side! I am willing to pursue the ultimate in martial arts with the general! ”

Wu Yu was originally a person from the rivers and lakes of Yandi, with a family tradition, a master of using a sword, and has always been the highest martial artist among several generals.

Later, he followed Fan Zhuoyuan to learn the Ten Styles of Blood Battle, and he mastered it the most proficiently, and he even learned the Purple Blood Dafa in terms of internal strength, and his cultivation was quite high.

He once studied with Dugu Hong, and was able to receive the nine-style sword moves of the soft sword made by Dugu Hong without defeat, which was quite praised by Dugu Hong.

Fan Zhuoyuan patted him on the shoulder, agreeing with his following.

The cavalry commander also has a Khitan He Lubu, and his position is also very clear, "General, no matter what happens to you in Beijing this time, I believe that you will be a person who will do great things in the future!"

If you don't do it, I won't do it either! But I'll go out to the outside of the Sai to graze and build a horse farm, and when you are willing to come back and do great things with us! ”

Everyone didn't expect He Lubu to have this thought, the so-called big thing, what kind of big thing is that?

No one dared to ask, but they all knew it, but this also showed how firm He Lubu's determination was.

Fan Zhuoyuan patted He Lubu's shoulder, and then looked at the rest of the generals, these people are Fan Zhuoyuan's henchmen, many of his martial arts were taught by Fan Zhuoyuan himself, and those demon sect exercises have been mastered, and they can be called first-class masters in the world.

"No matter what you choose to do in the end, Fan respects it, as for what to do big, hmph, Fan doesn't want to make trouble.

He Lubu, it's good for you to run a horse farm, and with the foundation of connections we have laid in Yandi, the trade route can radiate to the entire Great Song Dynasty.

If I retreat, you will live your own life, no matter how mediocre the Great Song is, it will not even be able to stabilize the defense line in the future. ”

Among the generals, there was only one military judge, Fu Yan, who had been silent, although he was usually the same, and rarely spoke.

He was originally a scholar who was both civil and military, and he was a man with some axes, admitting death and reason, and not advancing oil and salt, so he was promoted to a military judge.

Such a person, Fan Zhuoyuan passed on the twelve branches of the flower room to him for self-defense, this was not a martial art used in battle formations, but he cultivated extremely well.

Fu Yan said: "With my temper, I will inevitably offend people wherever I go, and before I joined the army, there were many enemies who wanted to kill me."

If the general is not there, I will continue to stay in the army, and I am afraid that it will affect my family. Therefore, I will also buy a few acres of thin land to support the children in the family, and run a private school in the countryside by the way.

I like Hengqu Qixue, I don't like Cheng Xue, which is now popular in the world, I just hope to teach a few upright gentlemen to come out and cleanse the filthy gas of time.

Of course, if the general intends to make a comeback, his subordinates will continue to follow! ”

After Fan Zhuoyuan understood the arrangements of many subordinates, he nodded slightly, no matter how they chose this, they were prepared for the worst situation, and that was enough.

I believe that they will explain this matter to the Xiaojie soldiers below next, and even if the Xiaojie Army is split up at that time, Fan Zhuoyuan also hopes that they can have a better ending.

Three days later, he went south with Li Gang, and only Wu Yu was with him.

The first time I came to Bianjing, in the feudal era, the prosperity of Bianjing was indeed very surprising.

Although Fan Zhuoyuan has also seen the Qingming Riverside picture, when he sees the actual market style, it is naturally more vivid and energetic than the painting, which can be called a miracle of the feudal era.

However, he immediately shook his head secretly, the prosperity of Bianjing was established in the Northern Song Dynasty with the economic policy of one country and one city.

It's a pity that Zhang Zeduan, the author of the Qingming Riverside Picture, didn't paint the scene other than Bianliang, maybe he didn't dare to draw it!

In order to prevent the local area from becoming bigger, the local government was required to send all the necessary expenses to Bianliang.

As a result, the local government can only maintain basic consumption and cannot afford further construction and development, and as the capital, it does make a lot of money.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Of course, areas with developed trade, such as the Yangtze River basin and the material transfer nodes through which Caoyun passes, as well as coastal cities, do have many prosperous cities due to industrial and commercial imports.

But is there only these cities in a country?

What about the surrounding hinterland, especially the areas that are not irradiated by the transport? What about the situation?

Fan Zhuoyuan came all the way from the north, and actually saw a lot.

In other places, due to the government's refusal to suppress annexation, the number of yeoman farmers gradually decreased, and then they repeatedly formed displaced people.

Basically, every generation of prime ministers of the Song Dynasty dealt with the problem of displaced people, and the method of dealing with it was very simple, that is, to integrate the rebellious displaced people into the box army and raise them as official slaves.

This also caused the problem of redundant troops, which became an important driving force for the forced reform of the law during the Zhezong period.

Wang Anshi once said: The old and the young depend on each other to come to the south, and the southerners have no self-food in the harvest year.

Mei Yaochen also said: The soil in front of the door is exhausted, there is no tile on the house, the ten fingers are not stained with mud, and the scales live in the building. This is to say that the gap between the rich and the poor is too great to be bridged by labor.

Including the general knowledge of capital governance, there is also a saying: the official family does not love the peasants, the peasants are busy, and the autumn maturity period is unknown, and it is enough to lose Taicang. It means that the peasants have been busy for a year, and they don't know if the grain is enough to pay taxes and go to the official warehouse after the autumn harvest.

The taxes of the Song Dynasty can be called the heaviest in all dynasties, and the official Chao of the Northern Song Dynasty once sighed: "The Song Dynasty paid and served dozens of times more than the Han Dynasty." ”

Even the hypocrite Zhu Xi once said: The ancients carved and peeled the law, and this dynasty has everything.

Except for the basic land tax, which is paid twice a year, it is almost 20% of the annual income of ordinary farmers. There are also dozens of taxes such as salt money, shoe money, farm tool money, foot money, public money, etc., which are again two percent.

It is equivalent to almost half of the annual income to be paid to the imperial court, so the Song Dynasty had more than 400 peasant uprisings.

In the Song Dynasty, there was also a poll tax, which was paid by adult males. In poor places, 1,000 wen a year, and 3,000 wen a year in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.
