Chapter 339: Development Initiatives

The new emperor Song Gou panicked and activated Dong Guan to lead the army to defend against the enemy. And this batch of Zhao troops is still forcibly recruited. With the Zhoufu army supporting its own troops, the new emperor can only re-recruit troops.

Along with Dong Guan, there was also General Yang Lin, the young general Song Zhe trusted the most. He became Dong Guan's handsome.

At the same time, Dong Guan even asked the new emperor to send envoys to the Jurchen tribe, hoping to unite with the Jurchen tribe to destroy the Khitan.

The new Emperor Song Gou listened to Dong Guan's suggestion and directly promised the Sixteen Continents of Yanyun that had not yet been recovered to the Jurchen clan. As long as the Khitan tribe can be destroyed, the sixteen continents of Yanyun will be assigned to the Jurchens.

Regarding this decision of the new emperor, many ministers who are in their own interests are, of course, in favor of it. They just want to live in peace and prosperity.

As for the cession of land or something, to them it is nothing. Besides, they haven't taken it back from the Sixteen Continents of Yanyun. This kind of permission to go out can be regarded as a business without capital.

However, the loyal ministers who had always wanted to regain the lost land were completely disappointed in the new emperor. is even more disappointed than Song Zhe.

Like Murong Di and other lords' groups, all of them who directly dragged their families and mouths moved out of the capital. When the new emperor learned about this, he lost his temper in anger.

However, he can only lose his temper, for the sake of those lords, it is really not cost-effective to send troops to chase after them.

He could only let Murong Di and the others go to Ningzhou Mansion to seek refuge in Murong Palace and Jiang Chao. Even Guozijian, a place that cultivates talents.

Most of the sacrificial wine dragged the family out, including the big sacrificial wine Su Wen's family.

Although Jiang Chao's killing of the emperor is really a great rebellion, for Su Wen, he is not pedantic and will be loyal to a mediocre emperor.

Jiang Chao's decisiveness made him admire and surrender even more. Such a heroic figure may be worthy of his submission.

With the departure of most of the people in the capital, the capital was also instantly lifeless, and a twilight shrouded the entire capital.

Dong Guan and Yang Lin refused the Khitan people to Anxi Mansion, because Dong Guan's insistence could not be out, but the Khitan people had no other way for a while.

At the same time, the Jurchens sent a large army to march towards the Khitans. The two sides launched a fierce battle, and the Khitan tribe encountered the Jurchen tribe who came out of the poor mountains and bad waters, and they were defeated in an instant.

And there were also problems within the Khitan tribe, the Khitan Emperor Yeluji died of a serious illness, and Empress Xiao took the opportunity to support her son Yeluhong to ascend the throne.

Due to the attack of the Jurchens and the ascension of the new emperor, the Khitan had to retreat, but it also gave Da Zhao time to breathe.

Here in the mountain village, Jiang Chao has been studying various machine tools and tungsten steel drill bits since he came back. I want to make a gun. Drill bits on lathes require technological innovation.

And the early Suifa pistol has begun to equip the children's army, although so far, there are only 1,000 of them, but the follow-up production will still keep up.

But Jiang Chao didn't produce much, because he needed modern and advanced firearms, not ancient firearms like Suifa guns. It's just a transition.

And various industries have also begun to complement each other.

In addition to industrial development, Jiang Chao also made changes in Ningzhou Province, and the first thing to do was to return the land to the government and then distribute it.

For those who are willing to hand over the land, Jiang Chao settles in the form of money, and for those who are unwilling to hand over the land, he directly uses the people to beat them in the way of beating the local tyrants.

Now that he had decided that he wanted to change this world, Jiang Chao decided to start with Ningzhou Mansion. The land will no longer be privatized.

The peasants will be given a share of the land, and most of the income from farming will go to the peasants themselves, except for a certain amount of taxes. In addition, the government buys grain from farmers.

The arrival of Su Wen allowed Jiang Chao to also get a group of literati. In terms of number, there are at least more than 300 people.

After a period of investigation, Jiang Chao selected nearly 100 people from them and directly formed a staff group. Jiang Chao gave his general intentions, and then let these staff members supplement.

Slowly, a series of laws were formed on the side of Ningzhou Mansion. and various policies for the benefit of the people.

Finally, under Jiang Chao's decision, it will be implemented again. Jiang Chao decided to start the promotion in Anning County, and then radiate to the surrounding counties.

For those landlords, Jiang Chao became their biggest enemy, and all the landlords were eager to eat Jiang Chao's flesh and drink Jiang Chao's blood.

Because, Jiang Chao's move to return the land is directly waiting for their wealth to shrink. But because of the prestige of Jiang Chao, most of the landlords dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Some who are willing to participate in the new initiative have chosen to exchange land for money. Those who don't want to either run away or be arrested and criticized.

In this way, in Ningzhou Province, a vigorous land reform began to be implemented. And the people had their own fields. Most of the peasants from all sides were aware of the policy of Ningzhou Province.

All of them are pouring towards Ningzhou Mansion, and everyone wants to have their own land. No one will have a skeptical attitude, Jiang Chao's reputation has long existed like a god among the people.

Even if some people say that he killed the emperor, no people think that Jiang Chao is a traitor. Not to mention, Jiang Chao's series of policies in Ningzhou Mansion are all beneficial to the people.

Ningzhou Mansion soon became the center of the concentration of people in Dazhao, and prosperity followed. The more crowded the place, the more prosperous it is.

Although, when those landlords fled, they took most of the money with them, and also caused the economy of Ningzhou Province to suffer. However, Jiang Chao also vigorously encouraged business.

All kinds of vendors emerge in an endless stream, and there are many industries in Jiangchao itself. Soon the business of Ningzhou Province was driven.

Among them, there is also the credit of Gute, this Italian, who brought some Western businessmen he knew to Ningzhou Mansion.

Silk, porcelain, cloth from Ningzhou Province. Then there are perfumes, soaps, glassware, and so on...... All of them are exported overseas!

The trade with the West is mainly gold, and then, it is all kinds of exchange for goods, and preferably all kinds of rare goods. For example, ores......

With a series of measures taken by Jiang Chao, Ningzhou Mansion has become brilliant at an astonishing speed. It's been less than a year. Ningzhou Mansion has become the most developed place in the entire Great Zhao.

More and more people came to Ningzhou Mansion to take refuge, and even those landlords who had fled turned back after knowing that Ningzhou Mansion was full of gold.

In this way, the wealth of the world began to converge to Ningzhou Mansion.

At the same time, the situation of the Khitan and Jurchen tribes, as well as the Great Zhao, changed dramatically.
