At the end of September, in the Constitutional Yuan, Zhao Jun was looking at the official document on the table.

The Statistics Division has been established.

Now that there are many idle officials in the world, it is still simple to transfer manpower.

The Constitutional Yuan has issued a supreme document directing that any department, any unit, must hand over all data to the Statistics Division by the end of the year.

In addition, the Statistics Division requires that the survey of data from various departments be carried out without delay or obstruction for any reason, and in such cases, severe punishment will be imposed.

The newly appointed secretary of the statistics department is that Wu Yu, although this person is only 33 years old, but he was more than 10 years old in the jinshi, historical records record that he "young Qiying erudite, in the jinshi", and also took the system examination.

In the Song Dynasty, the gold content of the system was the highest in the virtuous and good Fangzheng department, which was comparable to the Jinshi. The highest gold content in the imperial examination is to first enter the Jinshi, and then take the examination to be virtuous and good. "History of the Song Dynasty" said: Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the system has been classified as a third-class, but only Wu Yu and Su Shi.

Therefore, because he was not only born as a jinshi, but also took the system examination, the gold content rose rapidly, and the promotion speed was also very fast.

Successively served as the Dali Temple Judge, Dali Temple Temple, local county order, Huzhou General Judgment, etc., and now is from the Wupin Taichang Rite Academy, the history of the forty-year-old is the privy deputy envoy, forty-one years old for the governor's affairs, it can be said that the ability is extremely outstanding.

Now he is only holding an idle official position like Taichang Liyuan, but when he was the magistrate of Xiangcheng County in Henan, he was framed by Liu Yuanyu, the imperial historian at that time, so he did not take the position.

Otherwise, with his outstanding achievements in the local area, he would definitely not go to a department with no real power like Taichang Temple, but the Sansi Yamen.

Originally, Wu Yu was not qualified to go to the court, but wasn't August the imperial examination?

The results will be released in October, so recently, the officials in charge of the imperial examination of Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites have to report the situation to the court.

Although Zhao Jun was opposed by Wu Yu in the court, he looked at the list of officials and information, and took a fancy to the other party's political achievements and relatively upright and serious character, so he was transferred to the Statistics Department.

Only this kind of person in the Statistics Department can make good statistics and let Zhao Jun find out the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty.

At this time, Zhao Jun was looking at the data sent by the three divisions.

There are two Caos on the left and right in the household department, and the left Cao has a household registration case, a tax case, a farmland case, a procuratorial bill, and a miscellaneous case; Right Cao has the Changping Case, the Exemption Case, the Pit Farm Case, the Procuratorate Bill, and the Miscellaneous Case.

That is, Zuo Cao was in charge of population, taxation, land, justice, and miscellaneous affairs. Right Cao is in charge of warehousing, disaster relief, forced labor, markets, justice, miscellaneous affairs, and so on.

This means that the population and land are currently under the management of Yan Shu's household department, so the information sent is also the fastest and most complete.

It's just that the data he looked at was the data of the fifth year of Zhenzong Tianxi, something more than ten years ago.

It is recorded that the number of households is 10,296,565, and there are 2,620,441 men in the prime of life, and the rest of the old, young, women and children combined, with a total population of more than 60 million.

Now more than ten years have passed, and the population may have reached 70 million, no wonder that by the time of Song Huizong, the population of the Song Dynasty had reached 110 million, and the growth rate was very fast.

More than 3 million households have lost their land, or nearly 30 percent of the population is landless.

Historically, this figure reached more than 35% through his statistics during the period of Wang Anshi's reform, which shows how serious the land annexation is.

More than 10 million people either migrated to the cities for handicraft manufacturing or rebelled, and were eventually incorporated into the box army and forbidden army system, causing a serious problem of redundant troops in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is no wonder that the handicraft industry and commerce of the Song Dynasty were developed, and how could it be that so many people were engaged in this industry, and how could it not be developed?

Looking at these data, Zhao Jun's face was not very good-looking.

Lu Yijian, who was next to him, saw that his face was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Land annexation is more serious than I imagined, no wonder Wang Anshi wants to change the law, more than 10 million people, nearly 20 million people have no land, the gap between the rich and the poor is so big, this is a time bomb."

Zhao Jun shook his head.

The rest of the people came over, and Fan Zhongyan was in charge of the Constitutional Yuan in the morning, so he immediately said: "Is that the Qingli New Deal and Wang Anshi's change at the same time?" ”

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and others glared at him, joking, a Qingli New Deal will make enough trouble, and then Wang Anshi will change the law?

Your old fan is going to toss Da Song to death, right?

"I'm thinking about a question."

Zhao Jun scratched his head and looked embarrassed.

"What's the problem?"

Wang Zeng asked.

Zhao Jun muttered: "The problem now is that the Northern Song Dynasty has the ability to sprout capital, thus giving birth to the industrial revolution. ”

"The Industrial Revolution actually required land annexation to free up more labor and move into factories to increase productivity. The first industrial revolution was mainly minerals and textiles, and I knew the principles of the shuttle, the Jenny spinning machine and the steam engine, high school history. ”

"The raw material used for spinning is wool or cotton, and our country has a long history of sheep, and cotton was introduced from the Northern and Southern Dynasties. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, cotton was introduced to the interior in large quantities; At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang began to promote cotton nationwide with coercive methods. So the textile industry is not a problem. ”

"As for mineral resources, in the future, we will build a canal between coal and iron mines, build an industrial city, first use a steam engine as a mining tool, and then slowly use it in factories, build steam machines, lathes, etc., and slowly develop into the era of steam engines, I believe it can be achieved within 50 years."

"But the premise of the development of these things is to first defeat the Liao State and Western Xia, lay the foundation, and then spread these things out within fifty years. In the remaining 50 years, it will radiate to the entire East Asian region and complete the hegemony of the East Asian pole that I envisioned at the beginning. ”

In other words, there is no shortage of human resources now. But the Industrial Revolution will not be completed until at least a few decades away, and there is no need for that many people at the moment. If the issue of land annexation is not resolved, it will be difficult for a large number of people to live. ”

"If the land annexation problem is solved, then in a few decades it will take so much labor. If we can't say that we have just solved the land annexation and ushered in the industrial revolution, then we will put the cart before the horse. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Jun felt that his head hurt even more.

Let's settle the land annexation.

You're going to have an industrial revolution a few decades from now, and you're going to need a lot of labor.

Let's not settle the land annexation.

Now that there are a large number of displaced people, and the people are in dire straits, how can they sit idly by?

So he found the current situation actually embarrassing.

"Then we won't solve it for now."

Lu Yijian said: "Didn't you say that? Even if the Great Song Dynasty does not solve these problems, there will still be 90 years of national ancestry, which shows that even if the land annexation issue is not resolved in the future, at least it will not affect the overall situation of the country. ”

Zhao Jun glanced at him and said, "So the people are living in difficulty, and the poor people even have the most basic food and clothing problems, do you think you are very honorable?" ”

Lu Yijian was scolded like this, and said angrily: "Isn't the old man for the future industrial revolution?" ”

"That's the future, and the immediate problems have to be solved."

Fan Zhongyan stood aside with Zhao Jun and said firmly: "Every period has problems in every period, foresight is very important, but the present is equally important. You can't give up on the present for the sake of the long term. ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Jun was reminded by him, so he suddenly came to his senses and said seriously: "Since I am for the Han people, I can't change my original intention." In the future, if we encounter problems, we will solve them, and in the future, we may have found more high-yielding crops, or used Southeast Asia to solve the food problem, as long as there is enough food, it will be easier for the industrial revolution to attract the working population. ”

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Wang and the others glanced at each other, and a trace of helplessness flashed in their eyes.

But there's not much that can be done.

Since they chose to compromise, they stood in the same boat as Zhao Jun, and they couldn't go against him and fight against him.

Otherwise, if they continue to play the role of a conservative interest group, it is difficult for the officials to guarantee that they will kill the scholar class because of the crisis of the fall of the Great Song Dynasty, so sometimes in order to preserve their own interests, they should back down or back down.

Talked about some other things, read the information, and in the afternoon, the new commander of the Imperial City Division made Zhou Xin hurriedly come over, Zhou Xin was originally a guard, serving as Zhao Jun's guardian, but because the commander of the forbidden army of the Imperial City Division was seriously corroded, six were dealt with, and there was an urgent shortage of middle-level officers, so Zhou Xin was brought up and became a right-hand man.

He came to Zhao Jun's side and said in a low voice: "Zhisi, more than 200 prisoners have all been executed, and the people applauded, and there were even dozens of underworld community members who were reported by the people, captured on the spot, and also caught the president of the Sanssouci Cave branch, named Li Sanlang." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Very well done, let the people below greet this guy well, continue to dig deeper, and be sure to cut those people off the ground." ”

"We also caught several prisoners from Li Sanlang's residence, and this person's backyard is connected to the Xibian River, and there is a culvert to go down."

"Seal off the entrance first."

"Yes."

Zhou Xin answered, and then left.

Zhao Jun narrowed his eyes.

In fact, he already knew where the headquarters of Sanssouci Cave and Ghost Fan Tower were.

But he didn't rush to send people down.

One is that there are dangers lurking below, people are familiar with the terrain, and there are ambushes everywhere.

Second, even if you rush to kill and destroy the other party's headquarters at all costs, as long as you don't catch everyone, you can't completely destroy it.

Because there are so many passages down there.

There are hundreds of entrances alone, distributed in various canals in Bianliang, and there are even many privately excavated entrances, and there are countless access channels.

Once they forcibly break in, they will scatter as birds and beasts, or hide in the depths of the ground, or run out of Bianliang through hidden exits, and it is impossible for the government to send troops to station below all the year round, and then continue to come back as soon as the wind passes.

So at least for now, it is impossible to completely eliminate it.

You can only clean the ground first, find all the entrances and exits, and let the undercover agent find out the internal environment, draw a clear map, and then find a suitable time. For example, when it rains and floods, when it is difficult for them to escape, they block all the entrances and exits they find, and finally learn from Guan Yu to attack by boat in order to completely solve the disaster.

Now that the anger of the people of Bianliang has been hooked, as long as the fermentation continues, the first page of the newspaper is estimated to be released soon, and he plans to write an article himself, with the destruction of Sanssouci Cave, Ghost Fan Lou and the rest of the gangsters on the ground as the main news, so that the newspaper will become popular in Bianliang!

"Zhiyuan!"

At this time, another official from the Constitutional Yuan came over, still holding a large pile of official documents in his hands.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Jun put down the document in his hand and said, "What's the matter." ”

"This is the counting domain of the Three Divisions of Salt and Iron."

The official said, and there were more than a dozen officials behind him, all holding a large pile of documents in their hands.

Zhao Jun frowned and said, "Why are there so many?" Isn't it for them to count? ”

The official said: "The Salt and Iron Division said that they are understaffed, and they are currently building weapons for the Northwest Army, and the tea method has been restructured, and the iron and salt have also undergone many changes, so we can only count them ourselves." ”

"Huh."

Zhao Jun sneered and said: "If there is a shortage of people, they will be reported directly to the Constitutional Yuan, and I will send them additional manpower." The Great Song Dynasty lacks everything else, that is, there is no shortage of officials, and now there are tens of thousands of officials who are only idle and have not been sent. Tell them to send it back for re-counting, and limit them to do it the day after tomorrow, otherwise their entire salt and iron division will give me a fuck! ”

"Yes."

This official has also seen Zhao Jun's resoluteness recently, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he had to let people send a large number of official documents back to the Salt and Iron Division.

Zhao Jun looked at the back of the official leaving, and his brows furrowed.

What do you mean?

Is this a rebellion?

He did not issue any decrees, but asked the various departments to count the data in their divisions.

This is not a difficult task in itself, but a basic requirement.

As a result, he couldn't even do this little thing, and he was busy with affairs at the end of the year, and the department was short of manpower.

Hehe.

If you're understaffed, that's okay.

Then change the batch.

The Great Song Dynasty lacks money and everything, that is, there is no shortage of officials!
