Bohol Temple.

"Your Majesty, now all the daily settlements of the victims have been converted into money, and the people have accepted this method of payment.

In addition, due to the large number of merchants entering the north and the fact that the common people made money from the works of the imperial court, they used these silver taels to buy goods, and these goods paid taxes, and the imperial court could use the taxes paid to carry out more projects.

After repairing the destroyed cities, the cement roads between the cities were started at the request of Your Majesty.

The completion of the cement official road project allowed merchants to better and faster transport various commodities to the north, which in turn caused the prosperity of the north.

Nowadays, the entire northern border can almost be said to be the same every day, so that under the interlocking situation, the imperial court only paid the initial cost and a very small amount of subsequent costs, which not only restored the vitality and prosperity of various places, but also repaired the cities destroyed by the Xiongnu, and also allowed the people to have a livelihood to work, but also allowed the merchants to have more guests to consume.

I didn't expect that under the operation of His Majesty, the imperial court could achieve this series of miracles at such a small price, Your Majesty is really a genius! ”

Today's chapter is very happy.

At first, he thought that the imperial court would have to clean up for several years before the north could slowly restore its vitality, and he, the prime minister, estimated that he didn't know how many headaches he would have in the past few years.

Unexpectedly, the new emperor actually used such a miraculous way to quickly restore the north to life.

He has been in politics for decades, and he never thought that those businessmen who were regarded as vulgar and treacherous by scholars in the past would still be of such use, and the effect of Zhao Jun's operation was really eye-opening for him, and at the same time, he had to admire today's methods.

Zhao Jun listened to Zhang He's constant praise of himself below, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, but anyone who travels knows how much a businessman can use it to the economy, but at the same time, business is also a double-edged sword.

The germ of capitalism is the product of the growth of businessmen, and Zhao Jun, who came from a socialist country in the previous life, naturally knows the horror of capital.

Don't look at the honest ones who are all controlled by those businessmen now.

That was Zhao Jun and the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce to suppress them commercially, and at the same time gave Zhao Jun a bottom line.

At the same time, Zhao Jun also has the violent agency army and secret guards in his hands, which have a deep grasp of the intelligence agencies in Yunzhou County, and can control these businessmen who have grown in the development of Yunzhou County from all aspects, so that they can be controlled.

Otherwise, the Shanxi Jin merchants at the end of the Ming Dynasty were a very high example, in order to make money, they dared to give the strategic materials under their control to foreign races, and even vital military intelligence and so on.

Obviously, during the Xiaoice River period, both Daming and Jiannu were equally sad, but as a result, this group of traitors transported grain outside the customs, which allowed them to slow down.

And the already difficult environment of the Ming Dynasty was aggravated by the fact that this group of guys was collecting food in order to help Jiannu, and in the end, the huge country was won by Jiannu, allowing the Han people to endure hundreds of years of dark times!

Even civilization is close to being broken!

All these are good deeds done by those traitorous profiteers!

Therefore, Zhao Jun exercised all-round control over the rising merchants of Yunzhou County from the very beginning to ensure that they would not do anything to harm Yunzhou County.

It's just that......

Originally, it was okay in Yunzhou County, but now that they have entered the Great Song Dynasty, they have such a broad market, and in order to use them to restore the northern economy, this also allows their hands to reach into all walks of life in the north, which will inevitably lead to their growth.

Zhao Jun was thinking that in this way, he could restrain them again, so as not to appear as a new merchant.

But those are all things to consider later, and now Zhao Jun asked after listening to Zhang He's report:

"Zhang Xiang, according to the current situation, how long will it take for the north to fully recover to be able to operate on its own, instead of needing the imperial court to promote the project?"

Zhang Heyan thought for a while, and then replied: "Your Majesty, if you want the northern people to return to their previous state of self-sufficiency, it will take at least half a year.

At least wait until the summer grain harvest, so that the people will be able to provide for themselves when they have food at home. ”

Zhao Jun nodded: "That is to say." As long as the imperial court continues to do the project for another half a year, the people will be able to be self-sufficient? ”

Zhang He should be, but then he thought of something again, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is an emergency at present, and you need to prepare early!" ”

"What?"

Zhao Jun wondered.

Zhang He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, winter is about to fall now, especially in the north, it is estimated that it will snow in early November at the latest, and it will be a few days."

But now most of the imperial court projects have been road construction, once winter, the ground will become extremely hard, and it will not be possible to start construction at all.

If they lose their vitality, it will be difficult for these people to survive this winter. ”

"That's a problem!"

Zhao Jun also reacted, indeed, it is true that construction cannot be carried out in winter, at least the current conditions do not allow it.

In this way, Zhao Jun decided after thinking about it: "Except for some of the men who stay to clear the snow, most of the rest of the men are recruited and trained!" ”

"Training?!"

Zhang He was dumbfounded.

Zhao Jun nodded and explained: "Although the north is about to recover now, the south is not like this.

I don't know if Zhang Aiqing has paid attention to the entire south, it has become a mess.

Now the court doesn't care about it, it's just that the court can't manage it, and I have just ascended the throne, and I don't have the energy to do many things.

But the problems of the South are there, and they always need to be solved.

As far as the situation of going all the way to the south is concerned, it is estimated that by next year, I am afraid that there will be several extremely large rebel forces.

According to the current situation of the imperial court's army, today can only be guaranteed, not that the imperial court's army can't beat those displaced people's army, but that the imperial court's army needs to defend too many places, once dispersed, the imperial court will not have too many troops to suppress these new rebel forces in the south.

And just taking advantage of the fact that there is no way to carry out the project in the northern winter, I plan to take advantage of this winter to conduct a basic military training for the entire north and establish a militia organization.

In this way, the next time, even if the enemy invades again, the people in the north will not be powerless to fight back.

And when the imperial court cleaned up the south, these northern militias with simple military training could also become the reserve soldiers of the imperial court, continuously replenishing the imperial army.

During the training period, the imperial court was responsible for their food and drink during this time.

I can still pay for this.

Moreover, the Huns have caused us such damage, and I will absolutely return it!

This is just a reserve of soldiers for the Northern Expedition in advance! ”

"The Northern Expedition?"

Saying these two words, Zhang He smiled wryly.

Sure enough, today, that is, the Great Song Dynasty, can't stand the toss now, otherwise it would have gone on the expedition a long time ago.

How could a man who even had a year name of Xingwu be an Emperor Wen?
