No shortage of walls

The territory of the Song State was almost three omissions larger in the previous life, but now it has more people but fewer people; the land is vast and the people are sparse. According to the latest news, the Xia State is not necessarily smaller than the Song State. It's just that Liu Gongquan has not yet been determined. He must compete. The Ministry of National Security has not yet been established. Although there are old people, not everyone can do things in secret.

Song Xing looked at Emperor Qingyuan's map and couldn't help but cursed in his heart. The Xia Kingdom on the map is not half as big as the southern border of the Song Kingdom. What the hell is that? Maps of neighboring countries are inaccurate.

Song Xing knew what he should do.

Song Xing is eager for the workshop, which is much faster; the civil work is less. But as long as the workshops are built, people's livelihood matters will be faster. Now it seems that the northern border is afraid of withdrawing troops because the barbarians are planning a strong attack. They stayed to build roads and prepare for war, but the civil war in the north was faster than in the south.

As soon as Liu Chengwen and the Hu people finished talking, the Hu people's strong attack was withdrawn, but the Ministry of Works reported back. The entire northern border can be repaired in September, so let them repair the people's livelihood first.

To get rich, build roads first. The northern border is almost there. The textbooks for the unified ideological education arranged by myself can also be distributed in September. However, the people of the Song Dynasty were poor and afraid. When building roads, the people came to help regardless of their spare time. Since someone could really get paid for building roads, almost all the people have built roads; food has been paid by the court again, and the people have gone to help. There is almost no one in the village, and even people in the city have gone out to work. In fact, the remaining ones are all children and old people; even when rural women who are older come to help with cooking, the court will pay 80% of the men's price, and they will never owe money, but it is fast, and it means spending a lot of money.

There are workers all over the country, how can we not be happy? Can you do it without spending money?

The first thing is the workshop.

Song Xing knew that Liu Guo would do well without any urging. He hoped that the neighboring countries would have no dissent and be stable for five years. It's your own plan.

Song Xing asked Liu Chengwen to rest for a few days, and then asked him to discuss business with Chen Guo. Chen Guo had as many salt blocks as he wanted, and the country was small. You can get a low price with just a scare. As long as you don't take action and don't break the current world situation and the political and strategic balance, the three countries of Wu, Yue and Qi will not launch an attack.

Song Xing must maintain this political and strategic balance. The Song Dynasty developed rapidly.

In fact, Liu Guo and others were very worried at this time. The crown prince spent too much money. It was not yet seen whether the workshop could make money. It was not enough to make money from newspapers, pencils, paper, fine salt, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. Although Liu Guo knew How much does it cost? It’s really similar to grabbing money. However, first of all, he came to the civilian workshop, and secondly, he bought so many things; but now the output is not enough to sell, so he finally bought cattle and horses from Xixia. The horses returned to the Ministry of War, and the soldiers used them in vain. Of course they knew that the Song Dynasty owed a lot of horses. But Bijing spends money in vain, and Niu does not make money from the people. He only charges a little and gets a 20% tax reduction.

This move by the Crown Prince is very useful in subduing people's hearts. It's two words"powerful".

Spend money!

The most amazing thing is that there are now ten people in the Song Dynasty; seven of them are working and getting paid, and the expenses are unimaginable.

The old people had to worry because the Crown Prince was so good at spending money, but as the Crown Prince became the new emperor, he also knew that the Crown Prince would use the whole country to deal with people's livelihood matters; he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to do his best to do things first.

It has been more than a thousand years since the Song Dynasty, and the roads no matter how dilapidated they are are already there.

It’s not about carving a new path out of a wasteland.

Song Xing had actually calculated that there were roads in the Song Dynasty, but they were too small. There were national roads and city roads extending in all directions, and even village roads were accessible.

While the army and civilians built the main national roads, the Ministry of Industry hurriedly investigated and mapped the remaining ones.

This civilization is all dirt roads! Just remove the fill. The roadside was paved with stone bricks, and trees and grass were planted on both sides. It looked like a big project, but it wasn't actually very scary.

Mainly because there is already a road.

For spending money. It looks like a huge amount of money was spent; it's just that when the road was being built, the people were so immersed in the money that they had no time to react or think; once the road was built, the people would feel that their hands were loose. At that time, who wouldn’t spend money if they had money?

The exemption of taxes for the imperial court is inevitable for farmers and merchants. Once the money in the hands of the people is spent, the economy will circulate, thus driving the national economy.

Extensive construction work. As long as there are no missions, the people will follow beyond imagination; and the Song Dynasty is a poor country. Once the civil projects are over, everyone will have money in their hands.

Food is the foundation of the people, and the people will not stop. Farming involves a short period of time, so there is no need to worry about the fields being left unused.

It’s just that there are relatively few land reclamations now. Liu Gongquan himself said in his return message that the people wanted to get some money in their hands; there were too many soldiers and people building roads, and everyone was worried that after this wave, it would be difficult to make money.

So make some money first.

I know how much money the treasury has.

As long as the economy is stimulated, money will circulate. Once the civil engineering projects are stopped and the people turn back to clearing land and farming and spending money, everything will circulate. Song Xing has already calculated and deduced it using the knowledge of his previous life.

It seems that this year has been difficult, but once it is over, everything will be fine.

As long as the country is stable, it will be fine.

Besides, Song is a country that has gone through wars. Need to recuperate.

As for the population development in the future, new villages will be populated, or repairs will be made. If there is no war, there will be hundreds of thousands of soldiers, plus those who commit crimes. That's easy.

Now, there is no one in the prison of Song Dynasty.

The damned ones should be cut off for how many years. They go out to build roads and ditches and do all the people's livelihood matters. When the time expires, they will be released. If they are released, they can come back to build roads. This time they will have money.

When it comes to buying sheep and pigs, animal oil is still needed as raw material for soap. Not many people know such a secret, so it's just a treat for the hard-working soldiers; it can win over people's hearts and achieve multiple things with one stone.

On the third day of July, Song Xing hadn't been to Zhu Qiaoer's place for a long time. I will go to her place tonight. When Zhu Qiaoer saw the emperor coming, he felt happy and hurriedly put away the bed sheets. Just as he started to do things, he heard footsteps rushing outside the door. I just heard Lu Zhi's loud voice outside the door:"Your Majesty! The southern beacon fire is urgent. Look, the beacon fire is coming from Qingzhou."

Song Xing stopped in a hurry. He asked,"Do you know what's going on?"

Lu Zhi said,"I don't know, I just saw it."

Song Xing said,"Quickly recruit the ministers to discuss the matter in front of the hall. I will be there later."

Lu Zhi took the order and left.

Zhu Qiaoer said:"Your Majesty! The beacon fire urgent order……"

Song Xingdao:"They didn't come that fast. Let's wait until they finish their work.""

……

When Song Xing arrived at the court, all the ministers were already there, and now the court was almost full. Only the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War was not in place, and the ministers suspected that it was reserved for Cui Zheng.

It's a pity that the urgent beacon fire order has arrived. But he didn't know what happened, so he had to ask the courtiers to prepare food and grass while mobilizing troops. Originally, on July 5th, the world's civil and military competitions began. Song Xing originally wanted to go and see it himself, but it was during this festival that the martial arts let the capital. Guard Song Yusong will handle it, while Wen will be left to the head of Taixue, Bachelor Li Litai.
