As an ancient and civilized country, the Song Dynasty could not despise the ugly anti-human behavior of the Angks and Saks while humbly learning from them, emulating them and paying tribute to them.
"Report."
"If the Song Dynasty wanted to attack Central Asia or Europe, traveling 108,000 miles by land would be considered a short distance. However, traveling by sea would be much faster, and mobility at sea is far greater than by land."
Although the Song Dynasty's actions would cause raw material exporting countries to be heavily dependent on and bound to industrial exporting countries, it was still much better than doing what later Anglo-Saxons did, which first engaged in the slave trade, then enslaved colonies, and even brutally killed and scalped people. It was much more civilized.
Directly robbing and killing landlords would lose the court's credibility and cause panic among the gentry and landlords, leading to domestic instability and even large-scale rebellion.
"The simplest example is the difference between a train and a freighter."
But it's probably about time. By the beginning of next spring, the Liao people will be unable to afford the delay, and it will naturally be the time for the Song Dynasty to win a great victory.
Zhao Jun looked around and said, "During the Age of Exploration, the West had the right to name the world. But now, things should change. The Age of Exploration should be initiated by us, and the naming of this world should also be initiated by us. This is the power I grant to the Song Dynasty!"
Yan Shu nodded.
Zhao Jun explained: "A train can only carry a few thousand tons of cargo at most, rarely tens of thousands of tons. Cargo ships, on the other hand, can carry tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons at a time. The cargo capacity is incomparable."
Just like my country later shifted from exporting human resources to exporting industry and technology.
So domineering!
"Sea power theory?"
"this"
He continued, "Moreover, foreign mineral resources and local specialties also need to be transported back to China to be used as industrial raw materials for continued production, so the importance of ship development can be imagined."
Only then could the ironclad ships of the Song Dynasty sail to Europe and Japan in great numbers, shouting to the Anglo-Japanese and Japanese: "Open the door, free trade."
well.
At that time, apart from Yan Shu, Cai Qi and Song Shou, the other three prime ministers were Wang Sui, Sheng Du and Wang Zeng who died of illness. Fan Zhongyan was leading troops outside, and Lu Yijian was also seriously ill.
Only the shipbuilding industry was developed. When Europe and island countries found that their raw materials were replaced by cheap industrial products, a huge trade deficit appeared and they closed their countries.
Yan Shu consoled him, "But right now, our army has such a huge advantage. We have already besieged Xijin. I think the Liao people will flee north to the grasslands by the beginning of next spring."
But the labor force has now been absorbed by the government, either recruited by the government to build canals and reclaim wasteland, or sent to build roads and water conservancy facilities.
"Reporting to the court, it happened five days ago. Actually, it's not that the document was fast, but that it was a day late. It started snowing on Hebei Road recently."
This not only allows us to put on a cloak of civilization, but also allows us to deal with exporting countries more gently, making the original authors of the exporting countries willing to work for the Song Dynasty.
He goes to work day and night, dealing with national affairs, including the economy, military, people's livelihood, and education in various places. Everything falls on his shoulders.
Times have changed. Although there are still people like the Prime Minister of the Constitutional Council, except for a few, most of them have been replaced by new faces.
The power I gave to the Song Dynasty?
A few days ago, there was still sunshine for a few days in the middle of winter, but the weather has become increasingly gloomy in the past two days, as if some storm is brewing.
This.
Seeing this news, Zhao Jun smiled bitterly and said, "It's not what we wish for. I thought the soldiers could finish the battle early and go home for the New Year, but I didn't expect this heavy snow."
So the Song Dynasty could have used better means to do it.
Thinking of Lü Yijian, he suddenly turned to Yan Shu and asked, "How's Lü Xugong doing lately? I heard he's been sending people to inquire about the war in the north every day."
Zhao Jun took it and said casually: "Today's official documents are a bit faster. How many days ago was this?"
After a large amount of land was liberated, the imperial court would also sublease it to the people.
I just don’t know why Lu Yijian and his gang are so obsessed with power?
It's really hard to understand.
"Which is more costly and profitable, building a railway abroad or sailing a ship abroad? I believe you can tell without me even having to do the math."
"It's about the idea that the struggle for maritime dominance and land dominance plays a decisive role in determining the fate of a country and even the world. Simply put, it's about the difference between my influence at sea and my influence on land."
Everyone was curious.
Everyone was shocked by the news and looked up at once.
Yan Shu was deeply moved.
If it hadn't snowed, the current progress would probably not be the capture of Huangyin, but the fact that Xijin would have been almost dug to the bottom by Fan Zhongyan.
"Life is often disappointing, as the saying goes. Man proposes, God disposes. Even with the best plans, accidents are inevitable."
Last year, the land tax was implemented, and this year a large number of landlords were killed, so that many landlords were forced by the court to transform, sell their land, and invest in industry and commerce.
People are such animals. If you treat them nicely, they will become arrogant and think you are easy to talk to and bully.
"Look forward to it."
"I really hope to see the day when the Song Dynasty reigns supreme. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to see it."
By then, there will be countless people willing to work for the Song Dynasty, and raw material exporting countries will also be able to gain many benefits from cheap industrial products.
Because the national debt that has been prepared since the previous year will be on track next year. When the national debt is put on the market next year and the paper currency is put on the market two years later, an appropriate fiscal deficit will only stimulate economic growth.
