Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

"Everyone, keep busy with your own business and leave me alone."

Wang Lun smiled and waved his hands, telling everyone to continue.

Not far away, dozens of large vehicles happened to pass by. There was no smoke and dust like before, and there were no bumps and tilts where the wheels passed. On the contrary, the large vehicles were driving smoothly. Fast and steady.

Wang Lun stepped on his feet subconsciously.

Only then did he realize that the original state roads in the land of seven states were already cement roads.

County roads and new state roads in each state were also being built.

The financial resources can still support it.

After all, the current one is the earliest primitive cement, and the cost is not that expensive.

But the raw materials require time and a lot of manpower.

Fortunately, as more and more officers and soldiers are captured.

Even if they are let go Most of them, more than 10,000 people, need to do hard labor for three to five years.

Adding in the previous manpower and transferring 20 to 30,000 people to the Construction Department, it is estimated that the state and county roads can be completed before the year. Rural roads and so on... …it’s still a rammed earth road. No matter how cheap a cement road is, it’s still a cement road.

When Wang Lun was a boy in later generations, his hometown still had dirt roads, and they were extremely poorly maintained. It wasn’t until he graduated from junior high school that it was replaced with gravel roads, and after he graduated from high school, it was replaced with gravel roads. It will take a thousand years to build asphalt roads.

Now he is building state and county cement roads in Liangshan that have exceeded the standard, which is also due to the super high trade income of Liangshan.

If it were the Song Dynasty court to do it, even if there was no Sanruan, I think In Babaijun Prefecture, all 2,000 counties have cement roads. Even if Zhao Ji is sold, it will not be enough.

……

"Big boss!"

"I’ve seen the big boss!"

"The master is victorious!"

There are about a thousand people sitting in dozens of carriages.

They are all large carriages, pulled by four or six horses. The carriages of each carriage are relatively long, and the wheels are low in the front and high in the rear, making it quite easy for the driver to drive.

Under the carriage is With the integrated steering shaft and brakes and other supporting parts, nearly twenty people can sit in a large vehicle.

This is already a bit like the large public carriages popular in Europe before the advent of automobiles.

It is almost the same.

The body is also It is very exquisitely built, with large pieces of glass, so you can see each other clearly from inside and outside the car.

The next step in Liangshan will be to promote county-to-county public carriages. After paying a certain fare, not only can you travel quickly and comfortably, Liangshan The fleet can also ensure safety.

This is very important to many people.

In this era, it is common for people to die in a foreign land.

Every city will have an organization such as Yi Zhuang, which specializes in taking in the bodies of deceased people from other places and temporarily settling them. After the other party's family had money and time, they took him back to his hometown for burial.

After a long time, there was no other way, so he was buried in a foreign land. Being unaccustomed to the climate, being tired from the journey and getting sick would be trivial matters in later generations, but in this era it is It is very likely to be fatal.

Being more than a hundred miles away from home is considered a far journey. In this era, many people never travel this distance in their lives.

After all, it is something that may be fatal.

For some special groups of people, such as businessmen, officials, clerks, and It is necessary for scholars to go out.

After all, scholars have to go out to study and take exams, and businessmen have to go out to purchase and sell goods.

Officials may perform official duties, be transferred, etc.

Even if they are traveling in one state, for many people in this era It is also full of unknown risks and difficulties.

With this kind of public carriage, Liangshan can add an extra income, and many people can travel safely and quickly. This is a win-win situation.

In addition, Wang Lun will control a larger territory in the future. These The carriage route can continue to expand.

County to county, state to state. Sooner or later in the future, it will pass through villages and towns.

This is enough, and there is no need for the village level.

For a long time, the people will definitely prefer to walk ten miles or eight miles. It is impossible to spend a few pennies to take a bus.

Only when the distance is more than twenty or thirty miles, and the round trip takes a day or most of a day, and it is more cost-effective to spend a few pennies, these ordinary people will be willing to spend this money.

In addition, what Wang Lun considers is Promote logistics income.

Each passenger carriage can only carry personal belongings not exceeding 20 kilograms without additional charges.

If it exceeds 20 kilograms and does not exceed 100 kilograms, just buy another ticket.

If the goods are hundreds or thousands of kilograms, you can The cost of hiring a car is too high and transshipment is too troublesome. Then you can go to the logistics station in Liangshan and buy a logistics receipt. Then you can take a passenger carriage and pick up the goods with the receipt after arriving at the destination of the logistics delivery.

This is Later generations were early logistics methods, which were different from later express delivery, but were very suitable for the Song Dynasty when commerce was initially developing.

Compared with the Han and Tang Dynasties and the later Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Song Dynasty was a relatively special existence.

In the Ming Dynasty, only Longwan opened the sea to Wanli prospered in just a few decades, citizen culture emerged, and the commodity economy and foreign trade began to prosper.

The Song Dynasty started from the Northern Song Dynasty and ran through the Southern

Song Dynasty. There were curfews in the Han, Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties, but not in the Song Dynasty. The Ming and Qing Dynasties all had sea ban policies, There was none in the Song Dynasty.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, there was only the land Silk Road, which had little to do with ordinary people. The scale of foreign trade in the Song Dynasty was huge, and ordinary people also benefited from it.

If it weren't for the huge foreign trade and the pressure of the Song Dynasty, the finances would have collapsed long ago.

By the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the further expansion of foreign trade, although half of the country was lost, fiscal revenue actually increased.

It's also amazing.

Therefore, passenger transportation and cargo logistics are not only feasible, but also big business.

Make the former into a large-scale national public transportation system that promotes personnel and cultural transportation and promotes integration.

The latter became a profitable Song Dynasty version of postal logistics...

It not only made money, but also benefited China. It was also one of the major things Wang Lun was determined to do.

This will have a profound impact on China.

The unification of China came too early, which had both advantages and disadvantages.

Development and communication in various places have actually been slow and difficult.

With these two systems, the exchange of personnel and materials in the future will be much faster and more convenient, and the cost will be reduced a lot.

If all roads, that is, later the main roads between provinces and states, and counties can build roads... the entire civilization process of China will be greatly accelerated!

To put it simply, it’s cheating!

Right now is when the power of this".hang" begins to show.

Sitting in the bright car window were a group of officials from various departments. Many of them were students who had just graduated from school. They were less than twenty years old. Their faces were still childish, but they tried their best to appear smart and capable.

They waved to Wang Lun and said hello, their faces full of respect. The driver also slowed down his horse and passed in front of Wang Lun's eyes.

They would not stop without an order, but the coachmen, like these officials, were full of respect for Wang Lun.

The great master of Liangshan, in the seven states under the rule of Liangshan, originally had more prestige than the emperor of the Zhao family, and the two were even incomparable.

After defeating Shijiedu, he no longer had the impression of loving the people and benevolence, but gained the image of a wise, powerful and invincible commander.

It’s not just the coachmen and officials in front of me.

The busy farmers and people in the nearby farmland also have the same respect for Wang Lun. In their hearts, Wang Lun has many mysterious colors, just like those legendary founding emperors!

Originally, although under the rule of Liangshan, everyone's lives had undergone earth-shaking changes.

But many people dare not join the army, or dare not ask family members to join the army, because they are afraid that everything in front of them will be destroyed by the court sooner or later.

Liangshan was destroyed.

Everything is still illusory.

Many people hold on to the idea that they can survive one day at a time. Anyway, Liangshan provides food and shelter, as long as they have to endure hardships.

Are the people afraid of hardship?

If you sow, you will eat for a day.

If the court wants to take it back, it will be treated as if the land has been taken back by the landowner and will not be cultivated.

There is no big loss.

But as time passed, everyone adapted to life under Liangshan.

Everything is in order and thriving. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Not only are the harvests high and the food is full, but the various policies of Wang Lun, the head of the family, make people live a more energetic and hopeful life day by day!

No one wants the Emperor Zhao to come back again!

This time when Shijiedu came with his army, the people were frightened, panicked and angry.

In Qizhou, Yunzhou, Jezhou, Qingzhou... there are long lines of people voluntarily joining the army everywhere.

Liangshan also recruited a group of new troops in a timely manner and established various state military regions. The recruits were sent from guards to local garrison troops, and the best ones were selected to join the front-line field troops.

Taking advantage of this war, the entire system of main force, second line, and reserve was also established.

By this time... the disastrous defeat of the officers and soldiers was a foregone conclusion.

The prisoner camp was built on the side of Yuncheng County. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were imprisoned in it. Every day, many people passed by and came to watch. Tens of thousands of people were imprisoned in one camp. The scene was extremely spectacular.

Not to mention the rise in Wang Lun's reputation, many people now believe that the court has nothing to do with Liangshan. The land he serves will probably belong to him forever, and the house he lives in will also belong to him forever. It is not like a field. Houses and mansions can be passed down to children and grandchildren, which is never easy.

In fact, the same is true for fields. As long as there is demand, there will always be land for cultivation. It is just that it belongs to the public in name, not to private individuals, and is not allowed to be transferred or bought and sold.

For ordinary people, many families have been tenant farmers for generations. The land currently belongs to the public, but they can always farm it, which is much better than being a tenant farmer to the landowner.

Tenant farmers would be arbitrarily raised on land rents, or their tenants would be terminated, or they would be forced to perform labor service for the landlord's family.

In addition to the various exorbitant taxes and corvee imposed by the imperial court.

One can imagine the hardship of life[]

Here in Liangshan... it's completely different.

When Wang Lun and his entourage walked towards the nearby fields, all the farmers either waved or bowed and clasped their fists from a distance.

No one knelt down.

Originally, people in the Song Dynasty did not pay attention to kneeling ceremony. There is a picture of Song Renzong when he was traveling.

Although there were imperial guards to separate the people, they did not drive them away, and they were not far from the emperor's carriage.

And no one knelt down, all the people of Song Dynasty stood and watched the emperor's car pass by.

The people have different expressions.

It seems that no one regards"officials" as lofty gods.

Judging from the title"official family", the people were relatively close to the emperor at that time and had a good impression of him.

Everything has two sides.

There are bad things about the Song Dynasty, but of course there are also good things about it.

Emperors before Huizong were relatively tolerant, restrained, and close to the people.

For example, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, when he wanted to expand the palace restrictions, the people around him opposed it, so the expansion of the palace was abandoned.

During the reign of Renzong, some people in Kaifeng who had lost a pig went to complain by beating the Dengwen drum. Renzong ordered that a pig be compensated to the person.

During the reign of Renzong, the princess was arrogant and offended her parents-in-law, so she came back to the palace to complain. Renzong ordered the palace door to be closed to prevent his daughter from entering, and asked her daughter to serve her parents-in-law with the etiquette of a daughter-in-law.

This was unimaginable in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the princess was more important than the consort and his family.

Only the Song Dynasty was different.

All kinds of details show the precipitation and development of Chinese civilization after the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The Song Dynasty also had a citizen economy and culture, and the degree of freedom among the people was very high. If the taxes were not too heavy, even ordinary people would be living in this era. It would definitely be much better than the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

……

".Boss, this is the cotton field!"

The sun is in the sky, and the heat has obviously risen again.

Wang Lun's innate physique is invulnerable to cold and heat.

Zhang Qing, who was promoted to the Agriculture Department, was sweating profusely.

Around him were a group of officials from the Agriculture Department. Each member of the staff has obvious characteristics, that is, they are all very dark and thin.

Some of them even have a faint smell of excrement... There is no way. The Agriculture Department has recently been studying the method of composting and retting dung mentioned by Wang Lun, which is to pile up human and animal excrement. Add burned plant ash in one place, stir it and then fertilize it for use. After leaving it for a period of time, most of the original impurities and harmful substances in the feces will be removed, and what is left is pure fertilizer. After adding the plant ash, not only the impurities are removed, but the original plant ash It is also an excellent fertilizer.

After harvesting, setting fire on the spot will not only obtain a large amount of plant ash, but also remove diseases and pests in the field. It can serve multiple purposes.harmless.

As for some smoke... who cares about this in this day and age?

The people from the Agriculture Department are constantly running around in the fields, but they are not just black and thin.

The people in the Construction Department are very anxious. Some of their hair is often accidentally burned off. There are many traces of burns from sparks on their bodies. It is common for their clothes to be torn.

The Trade Department is so turbulent that it makes you want to trot when you walk.

The personnel of these departments have also received more honors than other departments, and various rewards are also quite generous. This means that there are gains and losses.

The place Zhang Qing was referring to was a large piece of land that had not been divided (Zhao, Li, Zhao). Ordinary people were hired to work the land and the wages were paid every day.

This is the experimental field of the Department of Agriculture.

The test plant was cotton.

Various cotton seeds were also selected from Yanzhou and the south to test the cotton varieties that are most suitable for the entire Jingdong Road climate.

Then promote planting.

After delineating the red line for staple food, large-scale planting of cash crops is the most appropriate approach.

Among the cash crops of this era, Wang Lun’s first choice was cotton.

The main thing is that there is no tobacco.

Wang Lun cannot go to America alone to find tobacco seeds.

And...it's harmful after all.

It is better to wait for future smokers to contribute to the finance.

Except for tobacco, cotton is the best choice.

Cloth woven from cotton is the hard currency that everyone needs.

The rich can choose patterns and colors, but ordinary people also need robes made of cloth and thick cotton jackets stuffed with cotton to keep out the cold.

For the poor, a good cotton-padded jacket is an important property.

Many times, poor people would pawn their quilts and jackets in spring and redeem them in autumn and winter.

This is a necessity of life, just like food and salt.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, cotton cloth exports were also one of the important export commodities, with a trade volume of several million pieces a year.

But when Jenny machines, waterwheel looms, and steam looms appeared in Europe, China not only lost its export market during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but its local market was also taken over by foreign cloth.

Foreign cloth is of better quality than homespun cloth and is cheaper than homespun cloth under industrial production.

The number of spindles has been an important benchmark for measuring the degree of industrialization and national strength of a country for a long time.

At least that was the case before and after World War I.

It was not until World War II that oil production, namely steel production, was used to measure national strength.

Wang Lun's time travel was not only to bring Liangshan and himself to the top in this time and space, but also to plan a development path for China that would take hundreds of years.

Growing cotton and spinning are a very stable path that will definitely lead to development..
