No shortage of walls

If the barbarians in the north did not have the problem of attacking by force, Song Xing could have sent his troops south. He designed the workshop. As a ceiling-level scientist in his previous life, he knew what this kind of civilization could do; naturally he also knew how to build one. How much labor does the workshop cost?

An additional 12,000 soldiers came back to build workshops. Everyone knows how much time can be saved.

The picture of the workshop was drawn by Song Xing himself. The picture was larger than the palace, and it was distinguished inside. In order to facilitate guarding, a wall was built to surround it.

The scale of the project is unimaginable, and the cost is also unimaginable.

Song Xing has already calculated that he will make money while building workshops. Now the main ones are soldiers. Although the people are also recruiting help, the encouragement of land reclamation and farming is directly related to the people's livelihood. People must really have time. Only the army can come to work, and the army will still be the main force, and the people will be the supplement. By the way, the prisoners in the prisons in various places will be re-tried. Those who deserve to be killed will be killed, and those who are unjust will be released. All those in jail will be rushed to build workshops, and all money expenses will be spent with Beijing. He came from corruption from the ministers of the Imperial Palace. Moreover, Liu Gongquan's preliminary investigation revealed that officials in the northern and southern regions were more corrupt. When Liu Gongquan's National Security Department is actually established, Song Xing plans to sweep officials from south to north. If all the corruption is collected, there will be no problem in building a workshop.

Song Xing knew that it would only take five years for the Song Dynasty to expand outwards. There is still a lot to do between now and the fifth or sixth year of Zhengtong.

Make all preparations.

After returning from Tianhu in the north, Song Xing had already thought a lot. Now that it has become a fact, he will make the Song Kingdom stronger so that the people in the world can have enough to eat without being bullied by others.

Song Xing sent people to recruit Ye Zhisheng and Qiu Ying, the ministers of the Ministry of War; Guan Duhua, the minister of household affairs; Liu Cheng, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs; Huang Quan, the minister of the Ministry of punishment; and Huang Qing, the prime minister of Dali temple, came to the imperial study.

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed in salute, listening attentively; they all stood in a row with their hands folded. Everyone was very happy to see that the emperor had a smile on his face and no pressure in his heart.

Lu Zhigang stood aside; he was a member of the emperor's bodyguard, and he would always stand aside unless there was an imperial edict from the emperor.

Song Xing said:"I have not been emperor for a long time, and I used to always stay in the manor. I never paid attention to the affairs of the court. If my father's old subordinates hadn't mentioned it recently, I still don't know how the court department operates. I asked you to come today because there is something I want to know."

The ministers saw that the emperor's tone was calm and his words were honest. I was very happy, unlike the previous emperor who didn't know how to pretend to understand. When the new emperor came up, he said he didn't understand, which immediately made all the ministers happy.

In the old days, Prince Jing's son was in the manor, and Prince Jing's military power was taken away. He was also afraid of getting involved in the matter of seizing his legitimate son, so he hid in everything. Naturally, he didn't know what was going on in the court.

But at this time, the emperor spoke like this, and the ministers did not dare to say anything. Just arch your hands.

Song Xing naturally knew what they meant. Then he said:"The population of the Song Dynasty, how many old, strong and young are there? Taxes and taxes should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs, right?"

Guan Duhua, the Minister of Household Affairs, hurriedly handed over his hand. Said:"Back to Your Majesty! Yes!"

Song Xing nodded. Said:"The Ministry of Household Affairs will make statistics on the population and land of the Song Dynasty. Those who open up wasteland and cultivate land should be encouraged more. I want to make a living for the people. If the people who open up wasteland and cultivate land are in places where the harvest is not good, the tax can be reduced."

Guanduhua raised his hands. Said:"Your Majesty, forgive me! This is the first time that Wei Chen has been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. He is not yet skilled, has little talent, and has few manpower. This matter is urgent and difficult. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

Song Xing said:"I know that everything is difficult at the beginning, and I am too. When you become emperor for the first time, you go back and write a plan on how to do it. Wherever the Ministry of Revenue will be in charge, write it clearly. Cui Zheng and the others don't know much about it. I have asked them before and they don't know much. You need to write it clearly. , I can understand it."

Guan Duhua raised his hands. Said:"I obey the decree! It will take five days for me to submit to the Holy One. Please forgive me.""

"That's right, you can write the plan and give instructions at the same time."Song Xing said:"Even the crops planted by the army in Huangtian must be counted.

Guan Duhua said:" I obey the order!""

Song Xing nodded. He looked at Ye Zhisheng and Qiu Ying and said,"The Ministry of War does not have a minister yet, so Lord Ye and Lord Qiu are in charge of all military weapons matters. You have to work harder."

The two hurriedly handed over their hands. Ye Zhisheng said:"Return to your Majesty! As ministers of the Song Dynasty, I still have responsibilities for the country, the king, and the people. I dare not express my hardships, which is what I should do.

Song Xing said:"You need to count how many soldiers there are, and how many people are in every ten years!" They also need to send orders to the border guards to be careful of foreign enemies.

The two of them cupped their hands and said,"I obey the order!" After finishing speaking

, Qiu Ying raised his hands and said:"The barbarians in the north are the most hateful. They actually launched a force attack." song

_ I just asked the Ministry of Rites to discuss business with the Hu people. If we really raise our troops to go south, it may not be able to benefit the Hu people."

Everyone nodded. They cupped their hands and said,"Your Majesty!"

Ye Zhisheng cupped his hands and said:"The Song Dynasty and the Hu people have been feuding for hundreds of thousands of years. When it comes to war, no war is the best, but if there is a war, the Song Dynasty will not lose."

Song Xingdao:"We'll wait until the barbarians take action - the next step is the matter of Mr. Liu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Mr. Liu, the matter of literati and talents this year belongs to the Taixue, but the selection and appointment of officials will be troublesome to Mr. Liu.

Liu Cheng cupped his hands and said,"I obey the order!"

Song Xing said:"How many officials and how much salary are there, all of them have done it."

Liu Cheng cupped his hands and said,"I obey the order!" Song

Xing nodded. He said:"Boss, Mr. Huang, go and check the prisoners in various prisons in Song Dynasty. What I mean is this. Check again. If the officials are corrupt and unjustly accused, they will all be released. Even the officials will be released." Deal with them together; if they are wrongly convicted, let them go. There is no need to waste food for the death penalty. Those who have been sentenced to many years will be sent to the clouds to repair roads and ditches. After that, I will issue it in the newspaper in the name of the imperial edict.

Huang Quan and Huang Qing hurriedly raised their hands and said:"I obey the order!""

Song Xing said:"I asked Liu Gongquan. The establishment of the Ministry of National Security has not yet been established, so there is no way to help you. Mr. Huang, please work hard.

Huang Quan cupped his hands and said,"Return to your Majesty!" This is still the responsibility of the minister. I dare not say anything about the hardships, everything is for the country and the people.

Song Xingdao:"This matter only concerns the law, not human relations. As long as the law is violated, it doesn't matter who it is.""

"I obey the order! Song

Xingdao:"Liu Yinglong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has already set off. If your ministries need to coordinate with each other on anything, just coordinate it yourself. If it is difficult to decide, report it to me."

The ministers cupped their hands and said,"I obey the order!" Song Xing said:"

Then go out.""

Everyone kowtowed and resigned and went out.

Now, we have to think about using buying and selling to control our neighbors. Firstly, buying and selling is needed to make money. Secondly, out of strategic and political needs, we use buying and selling to control the balance of all parties.
