Chai Rong: Zhao Kuangyin, I, Chai Rong, am not thin on you! In fact, I also thought about it, if I am really seriously ill, I have no other choice, I can't believe the two of you, I may have a chance to choose you, I also know, orphans and widows, it is difficult to be stable in the next week, it is really unfair!

Queen Ma: Yes, God is unfair! For you, the emperor, I feel sorry for a woman.

Qin Shi Huang: "Failure to succeed" is the most tragic end of heroes and heroes, this is your Chai Rong's regret!

Wang Fuzhi: Chai Rong's strategy is enough to dominate the world and create a prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, if Chai Rong can live a few more years, with his strategic and ideological baggage, he has already driven the Liao people back to the barren land in the north.

Zhu Di: I admire him, the treasury can support years of war, Chai Rong in addition to excellent strategic thinking, he also has his own set of ideas for governing the country, which I can't compare with him.

"With the good foundation laid by Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin imitated Chai Rong's measures to continue his unification cause, and easily annexed other regimes."

After Zhao Kuangyin established the Northern Song Dynasty, he began to consolidate his power, he strengthened the centralization of power, reformed the military system, quelled the rebellion, took Jinghu, defeated Houshu, pacified the Jiangnan region, and restored the unity of China, "ending the chaos of more than 200 years since the Anshi Rebellion". ”

In addition, Zhao Kuangyin knew that his country was taken from the hands of orphans and widows, and he was also afraid that this kind of thing would happen again, and the country would change hands, so he emphasized literature over military force, so the Song Dynasty was called "the world of literati", and set out to strengthen the centralization of power, strengthen the imperial power, and avoid the excessive power of his subordinates to threaten his rule. ”

Adopt the methods of "collecting elite soldiers, cutting real power, and making money" and "releasing military power with a glass of wine" to receive local wealth and power to the central government. ”

The feudal dynasty developed to the Song Dynasty, and the centralization of power was further strengthened, but it also left the hidden danger of "poverty and weakness". ”

"All in all, Zhao Kuangyin established the Great Song Dynasty, Chai Rong achieved Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin achieved the Great Song Dynasty."

"Zhao Kuangyin has reformed a lot after coming to power, and his biggest contribution is the situation of unification and separation, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the prosperity of the country."

In thousands of years of history, the Han Dynasty was called the strong Han, and the Tang Dynasty was called the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, no matter the Han or the Tang Dynasty, its wealth could not be compared with the Song Dynasty. ”

Since the "Anshi Rebellion", it was the most stable social environment, which made the management cost of the Song Dynasty low, and the surrounding minority regimes had been basically pacified in the Later Zhou Dynasty. ”

From the "Anshi Rebellion" after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, nearly 200 years were in the war, at this time the people's hearts were seeking stability, Song Taizu's "cup of wine to release military power" turned the Great Song Dynasty into a world of cultural rule. ”

After the "cup of wine to release the military power", the Great Song Dynasty realized the goal of ruling the world by culture, and the imperial power was expanded, but the civil officials and doctors and the emperor shared power to govern the country is a great progress, and the internal appeasement of the people, due to the peaceful domestic environment, the people's requirements for social power are low, and they only want not to panic. ”

"Advocating Confucianism and attaching importance to education, because Confucianism imprisons the individual's ideology, this is the fundamental reason why he vigorously advocates Confucianism and the governance of the country."

"In the Song Dynasty's theoretical statecraft, the issue of the annexation of the lands of the uncontrolled big landlords caused many landless peasants and bankrupt peasants to rush into the cities."

"Because of the rise of the urban class, commerce has achieved the cycle of residents' consumption, so the tertiary industry business and service industry have been born, which has led to the prosperity and development of commerce."

"There is no restriction on time deduction and location, breaking through the boundaries of the market, and buying and selling transactions can be carried out at street entrances and on both sides of residential streets."

"Hawkers can walk the streets and alleys to trade, the most popular is that agricultural products have become a kind of commodity, with the refinement of market commodities, promote the development of handicrafts, the progress of handicrafts has produced more handicraft products into the market transactions, a virtuous cycle repeatedly."

"In this case, the people have the skills to get started, and if they don't, they will plant some fruits, melons and vegetables, plus there are more businesses and more workers, and the people's lives will come up all of a sudden."

"In addition, with the progress of the shipbuilding industry, the ocean-going ships of the Song Dynasty broke the monopoly of Arab merchant ships for the first time in the world, and also made the navigation industry of the flower country active."

"This is the difference between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is just the most powerful military in history, the closest ethnic relations, and the most frequent foreign exchanges, while the Song Dynasty is the most prosperous dynasty in history, the most developed science and technology, the most prosperous culture, and the richest people's living standards."

"This has caused the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty to reach an unprecedented level, and it can be said that it is so rich that it is not enough to pay compensation and pay tribute in the late Song Dynasty, and the treasury cannot be cleaned."

Liu Xiu: It was also because I only knew how to develop the economy and didn't know how to domesticate the army, which led to the later ending.

"The Great Song Dynasty is to suppress military generals, including attaching importance to Confucianism, this is not to talk about first, first talk about the advantages, we have to admit that the economy of the Great Song Dynasty is unprecedented?"

"Before the Northern Song Dynasty, there were two population peaks, one was the Han Dynasty, whose population exceeded 60 million, and the second was the Tang Dynasty, which exceeded 80 million."

"By the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, the population had exceeded 100 million! This was a very huge achievement, as the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty was smaller than that of the Han and Tang dynasties. ”

"With the development of the economy, in the Song Dynasty, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Hebei and other places, many new types of small cities sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the development of commodity trade and the development of the market promoted the process of urbanization in the Song Dynasty."

"Kaifeng, the capital of Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, has a population of one million, and in the eyes of your ancients, this data is very amazing."

"In our later generations, there is a picture of the river during the Qingming Festival, which vividly records the urban appearance of Tokyo and the living conditions of people from all walks of life at that time, which is a witness to the prosperity of Bianjing, the capital city of the Northern Song Dynasty, and a portrayal of the economic situation of the city in the Northern Song Dynasty."

"Some people ridicule the cowardice of the Northern Song Dynasty, in fact, the money for reparations and tribute is nothing to them, but there are a few emperors behind who are really too rubbish, and such a rich country can still be defeated? It's rubbish to the extreme! ”

Li Shimin: There is money, and the opportunity for peace and development time in exchange for money in the early stage is really good, but this is never a long-term solution, maybe you Zhao Kuangyin will live for two more years, but it can change the outcome! I have to admit that you can make the people of the Northern Song Dynasty rich, you Zhao Kuangyin is amazing, you can be called the richest dynasty! ”
