Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The system of the world is changing. As the emperor, Zhao Chen not only controls the Government Affairs Council, but also controls the Congress and the courts.

He handed over most of the political affairs to Wang Shu, not only because of the needs of the new system, but also because the Congress and the court required him to consume a lot of energy!

This is an unprecedented top-to-bottom reform in China. The fundamental system of the country is completely different from the previous three provinces and six ministries! Even the previous three provinces and six ministries were reformed step by step on the system of Sangong and Jiuqing. The new system in front of us is too different from the three provinces and six ministries!

Whether it is the Congress or the court system, Zhao Chen needs to personally intervene and participate in the formulation of the system.

Three months after the introduction of the New Deal, there has been no shock in the world.

When the government affairs council's policy plan was promulgated, the whole world was shocked.

Since ancient times, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to Zhao Chen, although there were government offices and imperial courts, the government offices and the imperial courts had things to deal with, and they rarely actively engaged in certain political affairs, even if they did, there were no detailed plans. plan! There are even many emperors and prime ministers who believe in governance by doing nothing, and let the government muddle through like a monk hitting the clock for a day without doing anything.

But now, the Government Affairs Council actually has a plan for governing the world, and they have goals. They have promulgated all the things they want to accomplish within five years, and let the world know!

Countless people in Yanjing City are discussing this matter, whether they are literati or low-level people, they all think that this is the kingly way to govern the world.

After the promulgation of this policy plan, the officials in the DPRK and China seem to be more diligent. Everyone knows that this goal must be achieved within five years, otherwise it will not be enough to face the world! Throughout the Song Dynasty, officials from top to bottom are more pragmatic!

In April of the 10th year of Xuanwu, at the behest of Zhao Chen, Li Chuwen proposed a motion, and the Congress passed the "Birth Encouragement Law"!

Since ancient times, China has paid attention to having many children and grandchildren, and all dynasties have also regarded the number of people as an important criterion for measuring national strength.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Song Dynasty, the marriageable age for common people in the world was 16 for men and 14 for women. If there was a time of war, the government even ordered that men of 14 and women of 13 must marry!

The current Song Dynasty also regards sixteen men and fourteen women as the legal age for marriage. If a couple has more than three children, tax relief will be given! If the number of women in a couple exceeds five, the tax can be reduced by almost half! And if the man reaches the age of 20 and the woman reaches the age of 18 and is not married, the whole family has to collect more taxes.

In the eyes of later generations, such a system is inconceivable, and Zhao Chen himself also found it a bit unbelievable, but when the "Birth Encouragement Law" was proposed, there was almost no resistance, and the vast majority of congressmen agreed! Even when this bill was spread outside, the people of Yanjing City all recognized it.

This era is different from later generations. Later generations of China have limited land area and limited national resources. China's population has reached the limit that the country can bear. In this era, the land area is much larger than that of later generations, and many remote places lack citizens. exist! In addition to the existing land area, Siberia in the north, the archipelago in the South China Sea, a large territory in South Asia, and the North American continent that has not yet been discovered can all be populated! As long as the country is strong, you can own more land! So now this country is not afraid of overpopulation, but underpopulation!

The former kings and ministers of Korea, Wang Kai, Jin Can and others also attended the discussion of the National Assembly bill.

Jin Can was filled with emotions! After the Song Dynasty carried out system reforms, the efficiency of the State Administration Council was far higher than before. Now that the Song Dynasty has introduced such a birth-encouraging policy, I am afraid that the population of the Song Dynasty will increase sharply in ten or twenty years, and the national strength will also increase sharply. His hope will be even more slim, and he himself is almost desperate for the restoration of Korea.

On April 20, Congress discussed the second bill, a national bill.

The Song Dynasty does not recognize the ethnic identity of the Koreans, Dali people, and Annan people, and believes that they belong to the Han nationality, and their household registration must clearly indicate the Han nationality! Anyone who intermarries with the Han nationality will have all the children born to the Han nationality!

This is almost a bill of extermination of alien races, and this time there are many voices of debate in Congress.

Zhao Chen attended the Congress. He did not interfere with this bill, but let the members of Congress discuss it.

Until the end of April, after many discussions and revisions, the bill was finally passed.

It's just that if any bill is to be officially promulgated, it still needs Zhao Chen's consent.

Zhao Chen signed his name on the bill, indicating that it can be promulgated to the world, and the Congress began to discuss the formal education bill. Many members even went to the Department of Government Affairs to learn about the advanced education policy, and then carried it out in Congress. discuss.

*** ***

It's the end of April, from north to south, spring flowers are blooming everywhere in China!

On the vast sea, dozens of warships are heading towards the northeast at this moment!

The waves splashed to the bow of the boat. At this moment, a middle-aged general was standing on the bow, and a young general followed behind him.

The middle-aged general looks very stable, but this young general gives people a sense of liveliness and detachment.

"Uncle Wang, we've been on the sea for half a month, haven't we reached Dongpu yet?" the young general asked.

"We are not going to Dongying, but to the islands in the north of Dongying! The waves have been too big these days, so our marching speed has been much slower!" said the middle-aged general.

"There are still islands in the north of Dongpu?" the young general asked strangely.

"Of course! If you go east from Shibin Mansion, the road will be much closer, but we are starting from Korea, so it seems a long way!" The middle-aged general laughed.

This middle-aged general is none other than Wang Gui, and the young general next to him is Wu Gong, the son of Wu Jie.

"It's getting dark, let's go back and sleep, maybe we can reach our destination tomorrow morning!" Wang Gui said.

The fleet was still moving forward, until midnight, the ship stopped suddenly, Wang Gui and Wu Gong hurriedly put on their clothes and went outside.

"Two generals, we're docking!" A school lieutenant came over and said.

"Oh? What is this place?" Wang Gui said.

"There is no such place on the map." The captain said.

"Immediately send an order to the soldiers to prepare to land!" Wang Gui said.

After a while, the soldiers got off the boat one by one, they stepped on the beach, and Wang Gui and Wu Gong had already arrived on the shore.

Someone was lighting a torch, and they could see what appeared to be a grassy field ahead.

"Explore within ten miles around here first, and then explore the whole island after dawn!" Wang Gui ordered.

Thousands of naval soldiers moved towards the surroundings, and they returned here after half an hour. There was nothing around here except for woods and grass.

Finally, the sky was getting brighter. At this time, Wang Gui realized that the scenery in front of him was extraordinarily beautiful. The grassland was boundless, and there seemed to be a small mountain in the distance.

"Wu Gong, let's each lead a thousand troops forward! If you encounter an enemy, notify them immediately! Leave a thousand people here to guard the ships!" Wang Gui said.

Wu Gong nodded.

The two of them headed due east and northeast respectively.

Wang Gui led a thousand soldiers and horses forward for a whole morning, but did not find any enemies. This place seems to be an undeveloped big island! In the afternoon, Wang Gui divided the thousand soldiers and horses into three parts, and went to explore in three directions.

When the sun was setting, Wang Gui still didn't find anyone here!

The next morning, Wang Gui continued to lead his troops forward. This time they found a herd of wild horses. They caught more than ten wild horses and rode forward.

It was not until the afternoon of this day that they discovered a small amount of human existence.

These people were very short, with a lot of hair on their bodies, and they wore animal skin clothes. When they saw Wang Gui's army, they all showed expressions of extreme panic.

After walking around the island like this for five days, Wang Gui and Wu Gong met again, both of them had excited expressions on their faces.

"This seems to be an uninhabited island. There are only a few savages here! I am afraid that the total number of savages on the entire island is only tens of thousands! This island is very big, it can be said to be another Goryeo!" Wu Gong said excitedly .

"Compared to Goryeo, it's still much smaller, less than half the size of Goryeo, but it's also equivalent to the size of half a province in the Central Plains!" Wang Gui said excitedly.

They don't even know that this is the famous Hokkaido in later generations, and it is also the twenty-first largest island in the world, with an area comparable to that of Ireland! It is now the twelfth century, and historically it was not until after the sixteenth century that the Japanese came to Hokkaido and established political power here, but now it is still a barren land, and the savages they saw were actually Ainu people! Known for their short stature and abundant body hair, the Ainu people have a small population.

"Put the Yellow Dragon Flag on this piece of land, and from now on this place will be the territory of our Great Song Dynasty! Immediately send someone to report to His Majesty, we will continue to lead the fleet to explore north!" Wang Gui laughed.
