Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

In fact, it’s not just Jiexiu, Penglai, and Dengzhou. The whole country, from north to south, from west to east, including the entire Yanyun, Central Plains, Xixia, Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan, and Jiangnan, is busy everywhere. farming scene!

Tens of millions of people in the country are busy with farming!

This is a huge change from a year ago!

A year ago, in Jiangnan, Zhao Gou's violent expropriation had just ended, and wars were raging in Yanyun and the Central Plains! In just one year, peace was restored in the world, and the people began to focus on production!

This is also a huge change from the Northern Song Dynasty!

Especially at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when Zhao Ji set up Huashigang, the world was in chaos, and peasant uprisings were everywhere. But now, there is almost no sign of peasant uprising in the whole country! In Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan, rent reduction orders are implemented here, and the land rent of the landlords cannot exceed 30%, which is far lower than before, and the people can live with peace of mind! In Jiangnan, many exorbitant taxes have been cancelled! In Guanshan, Northwest, and Xixia, there are millions of young people forming production and construction corps to build these places! In Yanyun and other parts of the Central Plains, the landlord class has almost completely disappeared, and the common people have obtained their own land, and they are all working for their own future.

An unprecedented Qingming government appeared on the land of China, with unprecedented low tax rates.

Tens of millions of people work at sunrise and return at sunset. Day after day, their hearts are filled with joy and excitement!

They all look forward to a good harvest!

*** ***

In the Henan and Lianghuai areas of the Central Plains, the development here is still slow!

The main reason is the sparse population here!

Especially in Henan, the flooding of the Yellow River is very serious. It has been flooding almost every year for these years. Neither the Jurchens nor the Jiangnan government at that time would manage it! Even now, the imperial court does not have the extra manpower and financial resources to control the flooding of the Yellow River!

However, Henan has a lot of land, and most of the people in Henan escaped from the Yellow River Flood Area and went to other places to farm.

Kaifeng mansion is also extremely dilapidated at the moment, many houses inside are crumbling, and there is no way to live in it!

At this moment, ten miles south of Kaifeng Mansion, there is a small town here, and the current Yamen of Henan Xuanfu envoy is here!

Qin Hui's family and Henan provincial officials are all here!

Further south from here is a huge military camp, where there are neat rows of simple houses, where 20,000 soldiers from the Southern Military Region live!

The 20,000 soldiers also trained in the morning and farmed in the afternoon! The population of Henan is too small, and now soldiers have to invest in construction.

From the barracks to the south, there are dozens of villages and towns, and those villages and towns are also newly built, and the villagers are all composed of soldiers from the original rebel army! Those dozens of villages and towns add up to a total population of more than 200,000!

It can be said that the area south of Kaifeng is now the most populous area in Henan! In other places, it is often difficult to see villages and people for tens of miles, only bones and weeds!

When the sky just dawned, Qin Hui had already woken up.

He put on his official clothes and went outside.

At this moment, the shouts of "one two one" came from a distance, Qin Hui's heart moved, and he walked out of the town.

When he came outside the small town, Qin Hui saw an army running and was about to pass by.

"I am Qin Hui, envoy of Henan Xuanfu, which general is opposite?" Qin Hui said loudly.

"So it's Lord Qin, I'm Liu Ze!" A middle-aged man appeared on the opposite side and laughed.

"General Liu, you actually led the soldiers out for training yourself! That's great, I'm going to discuss something with you!" Qin Hui laughed.

He knew that Liu Ze was originally the leader of the Hebei Rebel Army, and later captured Yan Zongwang alive during the Central Plains War. At that time, Zhao Chen asked Liu Ze what reward he wanted, but Liu Ze only said that he would join the regular army, so Zhao Chen asked him to follow Zhao Zhe Enter the Jingyuan Army! Later, the Jingyuan Army went south and established the Southern Military Region. Liu Ze was also a member of the Southern Military Region. Now Liu Ze is the commander of the 20,000 troops stationed in Henan!

"I don't know what it is?" Liu Ze ran over and asked.

"Come on, let's talk in the town! This is a big matter, we need to discuss it carefully." Qin Hui said.

Liu Ze was a little surprised. He asked the other generals to continue the long run with the soldiers, while he followed Qin Hui into the small town.

This small town is also very simple, the Xuanfu envoy's yamen is just a simple courtyard, Qin Hui asked someone to prepare breakfast, and the two chatted while eating.

"General Liu, your army has 20,000 soldiers, many of them have reached the age of marriage, right?" Qin Hui said.

"Ah!" Liu Ze was taken aback, he didn't expect Qin Hui to say such a thing, so he nodded.

"The world has been in chaos for six years. Many men in Henan have joined the army, causing heavy casualties! Now the number of women in Henan far exceeds that of men! These women have also reached the age of marriage! I think we can organize and let these women marry into your army !” Qin Hui said.

"This..." Liu Ze stayed there, he never thought about this question.

The ancient military system is lifelong. Once you join the army, if there are no special circumstances, you will stay in the barracks for the rest of your life! In ancient times, it was normal for soldiers to marry wives!

Although Zhao Chen once said that soldiers are allowed to retire when necessary, no specific policy has been issued until now. For the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, they still think that joining the army is a lifetime thing.

"Master Liu, you can't let the soldiers grow old forever?" Qin Hui said.

Liu Ze thought for a long time, and said, "Lord Qin has a good idea! It's just that this matter needs to be discussed with the rest of the generals in the army!"

"I believe other generals will not refuse!" Qin Hui laughed.

"When the other generals agree, I will come to see Master Qin again." Liu Ze said.

"I think we should discuss how to carry out this matter now!" Qin Hui said.

"Okay!" Liu Ze thought for a while and nodded.

All morning, the two were discussing this matter. In the afternoon, Liu Ze left in a hurry. He wanted to discuss with other generals in the army.

Qin Hui looked at Liu Ze's back with a smile on his face.

The population of Henan is too small now, and there is an urgent need to increase the population! If the 20,000 soldiers marry local women, they will naturally settle down here. In this way, the population of Henan will increase by 20,000! When they get married and have children, the population will increase again!

"After the war, there are many boys and girls, so it's not a big deal for each of these soldiers to marry a few more girls!" Qin Hui said again.

"Hmph! What are you worrying about every day?" At this moment, a cold snort came from behind Qin Hui, and a middle-aged woman with a beautiful face stood behind Qin Hui.

This middle-aged woman is Qin Hui's wife Wang Shi! Qin Hui was very afraid of guilt all his life! Historically, it was Wang's instigation that Qin Hui really had the heart to kill Yue Fei.

"Madam, I'm worrying about state affairs!" Qin Hui said.

"The area around Kaifeng is very barren, and staying here is too boring. I think we might as well go back to Jiangnan! Go and beg Your Majesty to give you an official position in Jiangnan," Wang said.

"Now that there is Li Gang in Jiangnan, I can only be someone else's second-in-command when I go there, and it will be difficult for me to get ahead in my life! Staying here, as long as Henan restores its prosperity, I will definitely be valued by His Majesty, and I will continue to be a general in the future!" Qin Hui said.

"Henan is so desolate, how can it be restored to prosperity?" Wang said.

"I'm going to let Xi'er go to Jiangnan!" Qin Hui thought for a while and said.

"What are you going to Jiangnan for?" Wang said.

"Go to Jiangnan to recruit people! Let Xi'er tell the people in Jiangnan that as long as they are willing to come to Henan, each family can get at least ten acres of good land! If there are a lot of people in the family, they can get twenty or thirty acres of good land! Many people in Jiangnan They are all tenant farmers and have no land of their own. After hearing the news, they will definitely be moved, and then they will go north! We will not only recruit people from Jiangnan, but also recruit people from Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan! In addition, I heard that His Majesty is going to Jiangnan once again summoned young people to form a production and construction corps, and I would like to ask His Majesty to send some young people to Henan! The population will increase, and this place will naturally become prosperous!" Qin Hui said.

"I think you are thankless! Those untouchables are all attached to their hometown, and they don't want to leave their hometown at all!" Wang said.

"If there is interest, they will come naturally! They will not be able to have their own land after staying in Jiangnan for the rest of their lives. When they come to Henan, they will have so much land immediately. I don't believe they are not tempted!" Qin Hui said.

"You are not His Majesty's confidant, no matter how well you do, His Majesty will not reuse you." Wang said again.

"That's not necessarily the case! I, Qin Hui, am the best at observing others in my life. Your Majesty is very different from King Kang! Your Majesty wants to rejuvenate the Song Dynasty, and he values ​​people who can do practical things and have abilities! My ability, Qin Hui, is by no means inferior to others! I He was a hero at that time, and he was destined to be in charge of the power of the world! Now in Henan, I am just dormant! I want to use this time to do many things that satisfy His Majesty! Courts, patrolling houses, I have also ordered people to set up courts and patrolling houses in various parts of Henan, and everything will follow His Majesty to please His Majesty! The reason why the place is developing now is to please His Majesty!" Qin Hui laughed.

"Hey, I hope we leave this desolate place as soon as possible!" Wang said, feeling unhappy.

"Ma'am, the Song Dynasty is about to be rejuvenated! This time it is a real rejuvenation, an unprecedented rejuvenation! Think about it, everyone in Yanyun, Central Plains, and Sichuan and Sichuan will have land in their homes. In the future, everyone will be able to eat. Everyone has surplus money, what kind of scene is this? It has never been seen in the ages! Moreover, His Majesty has ordered that the land in Yanyun and the Central Plains is not allowed to be resold! In this way, there will be no land annexation! In the past dynasties, at the end of the period, Land annexation is serious, the people cannot survive and have to rebel, but now the land is not allowed to be resold, everyone has land and everyone has food, so naturally they will not rebel!" Qin Hui laughed loudly.

He didn't care about Wang's mood at all, he just felt that the current situation in the world was extremely interesting. Apart from wanting to gain power, he also really wanted to participate in the construction of the new era.

"The land is not allowed to be resold, so there will be no rich people in the world?" Mrs. Wang was surprised when she heard the news for the first time.

"It's not that there are no rich people. If you have money, you can do business! Your Majesty has canceled countless tax cards in various places. This is to encourage people all over the world to do business! Moreover, His Majesty has already said that to the north of Yanyun, the former Liao Kingdom Zhongjing and Shangjing , Tokyo, and Liaodong area, the land is allowed to be resold, rich people can build large manors there, and plant countless crops! Yanyun and the Central Plains do not allow land resale, just for the stability of the world!" Qin Hui said.

In the early morning of the second day, Qin Hui first sent his son Qin Xi back to the south of the Yangtze River, and asked Qin Xi to gather the tenant farmers in the south of the Yangtze River to go north! In the afternoon, Liu Ze brought the generals to the small town, and Qin Hui discussed with the generals about the marriage of the soldiers.

"The emperor values ​​the economy, and Kaifeng is the central place, extending in all directions, but it's a pity that it's broken! I want to send people to various places to collect methods for economic development, and then do research!" Qin Hui secretly said in the middle of the night.

Not long after, he sent more than a dozen officials to various places to collect methods of economic development, not to mention this.
