Chapter 1,780 Wonderful

"Dong Shen!"

Shen An went out for a walk, and the neighbors all changed their minds.

hehe!

Shen An gave up the opportunity to show off and found his wife when he returned home.

Yang Zhuoxue was very sad when she saw the greatly reduced celebration plan. When she saw him coming, she asked, "Guanren, why did my mother come suddenly?"

hehe!

Shen An responded with a chuckle, feeling a little guilty.

Outside, Wen Xiaozhong, who had just been a messenger, was listening to Mr. Zhuang bragging.

"I'm not bragging. When Lang Jun first arrived in Bianliang, I knew it was not something in the pond at first sight, so Lang Jun went to find the manager, and I came right away. No... I have been working hard every day, and this front yard is also It seems to have some clues.”

The front yard is where the servants live. Zhuang Laoshi is the housekeeper, and this is his territory.

The military medal also contains my contribution to Zhuang Laoshi!

Zhuang Laoshi looked at the north and said sadly: "It would be great if I could follow Lang Jun to the north to kill the enemy!"

Wen Xiaozhong glanced at him, and Zhuang Laoshi saw something wrong in his eyes, so he asked, "Isn't it inappropriate?"

Hearing Xiao Zhong nod, Zhuang Laoshi asked: "Why? Killing the enemy and making meritorious service is my wish."

"You will be a credit to the enemy if you go."

Wen Xiaozhong turned around and went back, Zhuang Laoshi wanted to vomit blood.

The Shen family's flowing water banquet was finally set up, but not with so much fanfare. The neighbors came to celebrate.

As for inviting some ladies to have a party at home, Shen An didn't have any objections.

After inviting him once, Yang Zhuoxue was no longer interested.

"They're all talking about food, drink, and clothes and jewelry."

Yang Zhuoxue felt that such days were empty.

"It's okay." Shen An felt that his wife should have her own social life, "If you invite them, they will invite them back, so you have friends. Socialize more with like-minded people, and less with those who think something is wrong. There is no need to have any friends." What a complaint, it’s just a pastime.”

"Then I'm leaving?" Yang Zhuoxue was ready when she spoke.

Why! Woman!

Shen An nodded, and Yang Zhuoxue took Zhao Wuwu out.

Since marrying into the Shen family, Yang Zhuoxue has been a model of caring for her husband and raising her children. However, life like this is too boring, and Shen An feels that she should open a window.

The Song Dynasty also needs to open windows.

“The road from Bianliang to the north must be built!”

The flames of war rose again in the court hall.

Han Qi, who had just returned, was furious, "I was patrolling back and forth in the land of Youyan. The roads there are not good, very bad! My return from Youyan this time has been bumpy. Those roads! They have become muddy ponds. How to go? The road is not smooth and the transportation of baggage is difficult. How to win?"

After the victory of the Northern Expedition, there were still many things left to do, such as selling the land and collecting the seizures. These things kept the three divisions very busy.

Han Jiang hoped to be quiet for a while, but Han Qi refused, so he went out and said, "There is nothing wrong with what Prime Minister Han said, but it was his fault back then that the road was not good."

Han Qi was startled and then remembered what happened back then.

“After the failure of the Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty set up paddy fields in the north, built canals everywhere, and refused to repair the roads. Whenever it rained, the roads in the north turned into muddy ponds. This was just a measure to prevent the Liao people from going south. I think it’s inappropriate for Prime Minister Han to roar about this today.”

There were several blisters on the corners of Han Jiang's mouth, which showed that she was not in a good mood, so she gave Han Qi a rare nudge.

But who is Han Qi?

The two gangsters of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yunrang in the imperial clan, and Han Zhigui in the political hall, the two gangsters complemented each other, both internally and externally.

Han Qi glared and shouted: "What a sophistry! A few years ago, the Liao people were repeatedly repelled by the Song Dynasty. Why didn't they build bridges and pave roads?"

This is sophistry!

Han Jiang really wanted to fight this old gangster, but looking at Han Qi's 'majestic' body, he was retreating in his heart.

But he had more truth to say, "I would also like to ask Prime Minister Han, who was the third envoy a few years ago?"

The third envoy a few years ago was Bao Zheng!

Han Qi was startled and glanced at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng was stunned.

It was repaired a few years ago... A few years ago, the poor in the government were barely able to wear trousers, so what a crap road to build!

Han Qi said angrily: "Dereliction of duty!"

Zeng Gongliang felt very comfortable, really, he felt comfortable all over.

Seeing Han Qi roaring in front of him, he felt particularly fulfilled and stable inside.

Han Jiang was so angry that she said, "Where did I neglect my duty? Prime Minister Han, please explain clearly!"

Han Qi laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the land of Youyan has been recovered, and it needs a name."

As soon as the old gangster saw that he was going to lose, he immediately made a change. He used this method very skillfully and it was outrageous. Everyone looked at Han Jiang with more sympathy.

But this is indeed a problem.

"Your Majesty, there are no big rivers over there!" Zeng Gongliang felt it was difficult to name.

The first-level administrative unit of the Song Dynasty was the road. Most of the names of the roads were based on rivers, such as Jiangnan Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road...

But Zhao Shu obviously already had a clue, "There are few big rivers in the north, so it can be named after a mountain range. I thought... it could be called Yanshan Road."

Yanshan Road...

"Good name!"

Han Qi praised: "Yanshan Mountain is nearly a thousand miles long from east to west and serves as a barrier to the north. What a good name!"

So the name was decided.

"Your Majesty, it's just that when I returned south this time, I saw the road to the north... I dare not lie, it is really like mud. If it is not repaired, how can the north develop?"

Han Qi seems to have a lot of understanding of this, so he is very serious.

"What do you think of Han Qing?" Zhao Shu suddenly threw the pot to Han Jiang.

Road construction has always cost a lot of money and food. You have to recruit people, get tools, and constantly provide money and food.

Han Jiang had a headache, "Your Majesty, roads should be repaired, but those roads turned into mud after a heavy rain...

The roads in the north have been neglected or deliberately made that way for many years. Now it is difficult to repair them. They have to start from scratch, spending countless money and food, and they are afraid that they will be damaged by another rain. "

Zhao Shu nodded, "There are too many ditches. In some places, the roads are deliberately placed in low-lying areas. Once it rains heavily, the roads will become ponds, making it difficult for people and horses to travel."

Shen An laughed unkindly.

The roads have become ponds, and you can imagine how bad the traffic in the north is.

The south of the Song Dynasty became more and more prosperous, but what about the north?

What about the north?

"Your Majesty, why don't you... let's proceed slowly." Zeng Gongliang felt that it was difficult to think carefully, so he simply delayed.

Many things just get put off as they are put off.

Shen An came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

After becoming the Duke of Yan, Shen An felt a little strange. He was still in the adaptation period these days and rarely spoke.

Zhao Shu said: "You can tell me what's wrong."

"I thought the roads in the north needed to be repaired, and they needed to be repaired extensively!"

"What are we going to use to repair it?" Han Jiang felt that Shen An was standing and talking without pain in his back. "The money and food for the Third Division will be relaxed a little. In the future, Yanshan Road will have to spend money for major repairs and special repairs. Where will the money and food come from?"

Most of those who become the Third Secretary will become old men.

What a shortsightedness!

Shen An sighed, "The south has always been rich, and later the sea trade boom made it even better. Does Prime Minister Han know that businessmen in the south dare to use gold foil to make flowers?"

"extravagant!"

Han Qi was very dissatisfied, but Shen An saw some envy.

"Those businessmen are rich and wish they could wipe their butts with gold foil, but what about the north?"

Shen An felt that they had not seen the long term, "With the great development of sea trade, the south will continue to develop rapidly, then... taxes will also increase. Everyone, when the taxes paid by the south account for 70 to 80% , what will be the consequences?”

"That's a good thing." Han Jiang felt happy when she thought of this, "If so, Sansi's life will be easier."

"But what about the north?" Shen An continued: "The south will continue to develop because it has money, but what about the north? Because the north has no money, the roads will be in disrepair and the number of schools will be reduced. These are nothing. The biggest fear is... …The North-South divide!”

Boom!

Han Qi slapped the thigh behind him without hesitation.

Snapped!

Zeng Gongliang was tricked.

Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand to pinch the fat waist in front and squeezed it hard.

Old thing, I've been holding it in for a long time, and I'm going to give you a good time today!

The two prime ministers hissed in pain, and Han Qi looked back at Zeng Gongliang.

hehe!

The old guy actually grew his nails.

He felt that his lower back must be bleeding, so he went back to deal with Zeng Gongliang.

"Your Majesty, Shen An's words hit the nail on the head!"

Han Qi didn't care to deal with Zeng Gongliang, and said with a solemn face: "I only thought about taxes and the attack in the north, but I forgot about the barriers.

The south is close to the sea, and now relying on sea trade, life in the south is getting better and better. But do they think the North is a burden? "

Zhao Shu was deep in thought and looked at Shen An with more joy, "Only at this moment do I feel that the reward given to you by Duke Yan is not enough."

hehe!

Shen An felt a little proud and quickly said a few words of humility.

This is not his original creation, but comes from the later Ming Dynasty.

From the North-South Bang Incident to the later estrangement between the South and North Korea in the Ming Dynasty, all of them proved the shortcomings of unbalanced development between the North and the South.

The emperor sent people to the south to collect taxes, but the local people spontaneously beat them up and killed several of them.

Don't look at the surface of this kind of thing, what's hidden inside is all the barriers.

The Song Dynasty is also facing this problem at this moment.

"Sea trade is booming, taxes in the south are increasing, merchants are getting richer, and with this, the people will become richer, which is a good thing." Shen An analyzed that people with the vision of future generations will He was very calm and unhurried, "But the north is still standing still. Ten years later, twenty years later, a hundred years later... the gap between the north and the south will be even greater, and the risks it brings are well known to your majesty and all the ministers..."

You know nothing!

Zhao Shu and the prime ministers and ministers were a little embarrassed. UU reading www. uukanshu.net

If it weren't for Shen An's reminder today, they would still be immersed in the joy of the victory in the Northern Expedition and ignore the development issues in the north.

"In this way, there should be no doubt that the north must develop."

No one objected to this suggestion.

Shen An said: "How can we develop? For example, if the north is also close to the sea, can we trade overseas? For example, if there are mines in the north, can we build large workshops to produce things that are urgently needed in the south, so that the north and the south complement each other... These are all skills, then Where is the Tao? I thought the Tao was on the road."

He said confidently: "If you want to develop, you must first build roads. This is the priority. If the roads are not good, talking about development is just a dream!"

Zhao Shu praised: "Yes, even if we want to build a workshop, how can we transport it if the roads are not smooth?"

Stay!

Shen An gave Zhao Shu an appreciative look, then felt something was wrong and quickly pretended to be honest.

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "If you want to say it, say it. Are you afraid of me? Pretending to be a ghost!"

Shen An smiled coquettishly, "Once the road is opened, the minerals in the north can be circulated everywhere, and the workshops... Your Majesty, the south lacks mines, but has many fertile fields and a suitable climate, so how to complement each other, I think it is worth exploring, and currently I can think of nothing The most important thing is to open mines, build new workshops accordingly, make ironware and other items, and transport them to the south. And many meters from the south can also be transported...and so on.

In the future, steel will become the lifeblood of the Song Dynasty, and there are iron ores in the north that can be smelted. This is the skeleton of the strong Song Dynasty.

More taxes, more rice grains, and more trade in the south can make the Song Dynasty rich. This is the body of a strong Song Dynasty. If they complement each other, this is the prosperous age.

And all of this is just to bring the north and the south together, that's the purpose. "

He finished.

Zhao Shu looked at him.

The ministers looked at him.

"Wonderful!"

Zhao Shu smiled slightly.
