Because Zhao Kai's Song Dynasty was "reopened", it has always been a bit of a strait team. There are only a few people inside and out, and they all do the work of a few people alone, and they don't have time to get together for a conference. Moreover, there are not many people gathered, and they don't look like a conference.

However, with the successive surrender of the Shaanxi generals and Luoyang scholars, Zhao Kai's subordinates finally had a little talented look, and could hold a decent grand court meeting.

And now there are indeed many major issues that need to be discussed with the ministers below.

The first major event is of course that Zhao Kai’s Chang’an court is going to advance eastward and southward!

Although Shaanxi is in a state of reinforcing the rivers, Guanzhong is no longer a country of Tianfu! After the establishment of the Five Military Mansions and the establishment of the Tiance Hou Military Mansion near Chang'an, the "grain-paying land" in Shaanxi is less than 2 million acres. Even if it works hard, the annual income is only more than 200,000 stone wheat... These incomes are just used to subsidize the expenses of the Five Military Mansions along the border, and even a bucket of wheat cannot enter the treasury of the Chang'an imperial court.

As for Hedong next door, the situation of wealth income is also not optimistic.

Because the richest Fenhe Valley in Hedong had just been ravaged by the Jin thieves, I would not count on land taxes for two or three years. Moreover, Zhao Kai placed three military residences including Tiance Front Army, Tiance Right Army, Tiance Left Army, and Tiance Left Army in the Fenhe Valley. He also set up the Mansion and Lin Army Mansion in the east and north corners of the River, and Taihang Military Mansion in the eastern mountainous area of ​​Hedong.

These five military prefectures now have nearly 70,000 military households. They are both military prefectures, but the number of military households under their jurisdiction is very small. The number of Tiance Nine Prefectures is the smallest, with only more than 10,000 households per prefecture. There are more than 40,000 households in Hedong, totaling about 40,000 households. The number of people in the five Shaanxi prefectures is the largest. After careful inventory, there are still nearly 170,000 households!

With the addition of sixteen military prefectures, there are now as many as 300,000 military prefectures on the books of the Chang'an court... Finally, the number is no less than that of the Jin Kingdom and the Western thieves.

According to statistics from various military prefectures, a single military mansion should be placed on average, 150 mu of land and 100 mu of land, or 400 million mu of land are given the right to land. The so-called yin fields are tax-free private land linked to military service, which can be sold and inherited as a whole, but the new landlord must undertake military service.

In short, once ordinary land is registered as a land of military service, it will be firmly bound to military service!

The utility man who has not yet allocated land can receive 100 mu of "land rights" when he joins the army (200 mu were first given, but now it has been reduced by half) to compensate for some military pay.

The soldiers themselves can also choose to receive more "sharing rights" to compensate for land grants - that is, they do not have the position to divide the land, and exchange one acre of one acre of sharing rights for three acres of sharing rights to obtain the land rights.

The advantage of this arrangement is to include all the powerful landlords in Hedong, Shaanxi and other places who are willing to fight for the country into the government system, and there is no need to take out official positions and land.

The disadvantage is that the land tax revenue of these two "blood tax places" in Shaanxi and Hedong is almost gone... Even if there are some commercial taxes (excluding salt tax), they are used to maintain local government offices and subsidize local military governments and garrisons.

If Zhao Kai did not go east, not only would the land of the five Tiance Army Mansions not be settled, but the daily expenses of the imperial court would be difficult. In addition, there were too many military households under the jurisdiction of the Five Route Army Mansions in Shaanxi, and there was not so much land in Shaanxi that could be distributed to them, so part of it had to be moved out.

So there is no "secure" to Zhao Kaiyan at all, and don't think about "planting a field for several years" with the danger of Guanhe... If you think so, you are waiting to die!

As for the development of industry and commerce in Shaanxi and the evolution to capitalism... it is even more unpredictable!

Shaanxi in the Song Dynasty had no soil for developing industry and commerce at all, and the foundation of industry and commerce was even worse than "Qiuantang"!

The Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty was at least the starting point of the Silk Road!

By the Song Dynasty, the Silk Road had been changed. Datou walked on the sea route, and there was still a little bit of small business left to bypass the evil wolf in Xixia. Most of them went directly to Yanyun on the north road.

Therefore, after integrating the military forces of Shaanxi and Hedong, Zhao Kai had to fight out as soon as possible to grab territory!

We have to take advantage of the enthusiasm of the big guys to help fight the war!

So the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council were preparing to send troops to fight throughout the winter!

The final plan has now been drawn up.

According to this plan, the Chang'an court's troops will be divided into five routes, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by

Among them, the two routes entering Sichuan and Jingzhou are expected to mobilize 50,000 soldiers and 20,000 strong people!

Go east to Guangwu Mountain - Kaifeng Prefecture, at least 100,000 troops and 30,000 people must be dispatched!

The remaining troops were left in Hedong and Shaanxi, and there was no need for special mobilization, just take turns to serve.

The head coach on the way to Sichuan was King of Hanzhong Zhao Bushi - King of Hanzhong entered Sichuan, and he knew he would succeed when he heard it!

The one who entered Jingzhou was King Zhao Shuxiang of King Zhao... Zhao Kai thought that the Xiangyang King in "The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness" was awesome, so he gave this name to Uncle Zhao, which should be able to strengthen his momentum, right?

The one who stayed in Hedong was the King of Dai Zhao Zhi.

The person in charge of Chang'an is Zhao Kai's eighteenth brother Zhao Zhen. He has just been named the King of Lingwu and should be very effective.

"The soldiers and generals and the civilians must dispatch 200,000 people..." As soon as the court discussion began, Zhao Kai discussed the issue of the scale of the troops sent, "There are so many people, and the food and salary expenditure must be a lot? Can it be borne by it?"

The soldiers who had divided the fields naturally had the obligation to bring some dry food, mules, horses and some equipment to the first place! However, the service time for the first place was limited, including the time on the way, which was at most 120 days a year. Within these 120 days, the court had to pay a limited amount, but after this period, it would have to spend money to keep people.

In addition, "limited costs" means that without starting a war... When the war occurs, it will cost money like flowing water!

To answer this question, the left prime minister Lu Yihao, who was in charge of financial expenditure, immediately stepped out and said to Zhao Kai: "The official family went south to Sichuan and Jingzhou without spending much money. Sichuan and Jinghu North Road have savings, and how dare they fight against the heavenly soldiers led by King Hanzhong and King Xiangyang?

Therefore, what needs to be prepared is the military expenses sent to the east. In the strategy given by the Privy Council to ministers and others, all the 130,000 people have to pay full military salaries and employment money, and also to prepare rewards... Every month, 3.6 million guan is required to prepare for the goods worth 300,000 guan each year!

In addition, the 130,000 people plus the animals that accompany the army consumed monthly food and grass is not a decimal... Just rice, wheat and bean cakes, you have to prepare 70,000 stones per month, which is the number of people transported to the Guangwu Mountain Camp!"

"Do you have them?" Zhao Kai didn't want to listen to Lu Yihao's report on the record, so he asked about the result directly.

"I have it!" Cai Mao, who is in charge of fiscal revenue, said, "so that the officials know that at the beginning of this month, all the 3 million stones of grain that the King of Jinling gave to the court had arrived in Xiangyang!

With these 3 million stone rice, the army that went east could last at least six months in Guangwu Mountain!”

The King of Jinling mentioned by Cai Mao refers to Zhao Huan... Zhao Huan did not submit to his subordinates, but gave him 3 million stones of rice, so Zhao Kai did not call him a "thief", but called him by the name of "King of Jinling".

"With these 6 months, the emperor's uncle and the king of Hanzhong should be able to settle Sichuan, Jinghu?" Zhao Kai immediately laughed, "How much Shu brocade and tea can Sichuan pay in a year? How much Jianghan rice can Jinghu pay in a year? Is it enough for us to eat and use?"

It's really miserable. Zhao Kai, the reopened Song Dynasty, really "has no money"... There is a very shortage of copper coins! The Song Dynasty had a problem of shortage of copper coins, and Shaanxi, where industry and commerce were underdeveloped, was even more serious. As for gold and silver with higher value, it was even more insignificant.

Therefore, Zhao Kai's court had to use silk instead of copper coins to the officials below, and soldiers paid the salary and rewards. Now, most consumers in Chang'an are carrying a bag of silk on their backs and paying for things. When buying things, they have to use silk to measure them.

However, there is no silk produced in Shaanxi and Hedong, so the "currency" of silk is very nervous now!

Zhao Kai sent Zhao Bushi to Sichuan, the main purpose of obtaining enough Shu brocade and tea. Tea is no less valuable than Shu brocade, which is used to exchange horses with the Western Fan (Tubo) tribes. And Shaanxi and Hedong do not produce tea...

As for the rice in Jinghu, it is even more important for Zhao Kai's court - this is a matter of food!

For Zhao Kai, who has the ruling centers of Shaanxi, Hedong and Henan, his food will never be enough!

The only way to obtain food is Jinghu!

It’s not that Sichuan, the country of Tianfu, does not have rice, but that Sichuan rice has to go through the Yangtze River to the Han River and then transport it to Nanyang by Baihe, and then transfer it to Luoyang or Guangwu Mountain by land... In the evenly matched North-South battle, this supply line is the lifeline of the Southern Army!

Because the canal line to the east will be washed away by the Yellow River water at any time by the Northern Army!

The Duanping entered Luo in history because of the destruction of the logistics line... Of course, if the Southern Army had the destruction of Zhu Yuanzhang, it would be useless to dig anything from the Northern Army!

When he thought of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kai turned the topic directly to the New Year's name for the next year. He coughed: "The New Year is coming, and the matter of the New Year's name must be finalized! The Confucian ministers in the court have drafted a few for me, but I am not very satisfied, so I have been delaying it until now. A few days ago, when I was reviewing the three armies, I thought of a year's name, which is exactly the current situation!

I want to use Hongwu as the year name! Hong is a big man, a warrior is a strong soldier and a strong horse! So starting next year, it will be the year of Hongwu in the Song Dynasty! "
