In February, a spring rain that is as precious as oil comes with the wind.

The rain was not heavy, and it stopped after only half an hour. Soon the clouds broke and the sun rose, and the spring sun also sprinkled. The yellow earth covered the bright golden color in the sunlight, and there were also large areas of soil drilled out from the tender green wheat seedlings, growing happily. But looking at the continuous fields, the tender green onion was blurred by the golden yellow, Wu Haogu couldn't help but sigh, and even the officials who were walking forward with him frowned.

This spring, the rainfall in Shaanxi is obviously less, so the growth of winter wheat is not ideal. Even Wu Haogu, a Bianliangzi, who can't farm, travels eastward, you can feel that the more you go west, the poorer the land, the sparse the population, and the depressed all industries in industry and commerce.

In Jiehe Shang City, which is considered to be too heavy on business, around Jingdong Shang City, it has long been a scene of crops growing vigorously. The land there is far fertile than the Guanzhong Plain, and there is abundant water source and there are few droughts. As long as no one imagines it will change the direction of the Yellow River, floods are not common. Basically, it is just like planting anything and you can get a good harvest, which is not much worse than the Jiangnan water town.

In addition, the transportation in the rural areas around Jiehe Commercial City and Jingdong Commercial City is also very convenient. The waterways are well connected, and it is not difficult to walk by land. There are good official roads everywhere. At this time, the rivers there are already axis and oars connected, and there are also merchants coming and going on the official roads.

It is precisely because of the surrounding developed agriculture as support that the two major commercial cities can gather hundreds of thousands of industrial and commercial populations in a short period of time. If these two major commercial cities are moved to the barren Guanzhong, the problem of eating for hundreds of thousands of people will be unsolvable, not to mention that many industries in the market also need to obtain raw materials from the countryside, mainly various cash crops and livestock, such as tea, silk, wine-making grain, horses, cattle and sheep, soybeans, etc.

So the evil capitalism is now in Jiehe Shang City and Jingdong Shang City, and perhaps Mingzhou and Quanzhou and other coastal cities, which is natural.

In Wu Haogu's view, the Song Dynasty in history undoubtedly stood at the threshold of the introductory germination of capitalism. However, due to the lack of the conditions for the "Renaissance", it is impossible to establish a philosophical foundation that can encourage technological progress, so it is impossible to achieve the leap from quantitative change to qualitative change. After all, technological progress is the primary productive force!

And this ideological restriction no longer exists.

In fact, the two north and south gimbals have now become two innovation centers. Major technological progress has been made in many industries such as metallurgy, gunpowder, shipbuilding, printing and dyeing, machinery, breeding, construction and building materials.

In addition, in basic scientific research, Yuntai Academy and Qingcheng Academy have also achieved great results in the past two years. Yuntai Academy has made many achievements in studying physics (optics, mechanics, chemistry, etc.). Qingcheng Academy has achieved achievements in mathematical and logic, mainly "probability", "statistics" and "inductive deduction" are both contributions of the great mathematician Li Qingzhao!

As a famous "female gambling god" in history, Li Qingzhao should have mastered the methods of statistical gambling results, calculating the probability of victory or defeat, and then summarized and deduced reasoning. However, without the two major research tools of "positivism" and "rationalism" and the academic system established thereafter, she could not turn these methods into inherited knowledge.

Although these achievements are so insignificant from the perspective of later generations, most of these scientific advancements are original, rather than the golden fingers of Wu Haogu.

This shows that after mastering the two major ideological tools of "positivism" and "rationalism", some genius intellectuals in the Song Dynasty already had the ability to "study things and explore principles".

However, while the eastern coastal cities represented by Jiehe Shang City and Jingdong Shang City were running into capitalism, everything was still the same in most parts of the Song Empire.

So when Wu Haogu entered the Guanzhong Plain and looked at the vast and barren wilderness, he couldn't help but sigh and said to Su Chi: "Bochong, actually Ling Zun's idea makes some sense."

Su Chi, who was riding a horse and walking side by side with Wu Haogu, frowned and said, "Chongdao, do you also feel that if you don't place the soldiers of the Western Army well, will there be chaos in the northwest sooner or later?"

Wu Haogu said leisurely: "A great country is difficult to cure after all, and it is different from all over the world. It is not easy to maintain an even level in normal times, let alone encounter a thousand-year drastic change?"

The so-called thousand-year dramatic change is of course a disaster caused by Wu Haogu!

It filled the shortcomings of the Confucian philosophical system, opened the valve of technological progress, promoted the establishment of two major autonomous commercial cities, and kicked off the small era of navigation.

How can these factors be put together not be a drastic change that has not been seen in a thousand years?

No matter when and where the drastic changes occur, they will inevitably be accompanied by shocks, so there is no need to say much.

Now released by Wu Haogu is the devil of capitalism!

Moreover, in addition to the capitalist devil, a shocking change was also brewing within the Great Liao Empire in the north.

If two dramatic changes in one south and one north are brought together, they can keep the world peaceful and peaceful, that's a hell.

"Chongdao," Su Chi did not know Wu Haogu's negative thoughts, so he began to sell Su Che's idea. "So my father believed that it was necessary to establish a village agreement, set up a village army, and build a village school while abolishing the Western Army..."

"There is nothing missing in the village agreement, the rural soldiers, the rural students...?" Wu Haogu asked.

Of course he knew what kind of medicine was prescribed by Su Che. The representatives of Jiehe Shang City and Jingdong Shang City were moving towards capitalism without returning, while the "country agreement, rural soldiers, and rural learning" represented actually feudalization.

"What else is missing?" Su Chi is actually a Bianliangzi and does not understand the real situation in the countryside.

"There are still fewer squires." The older Zhao Jiaren interrupted. Before being used by Wu Haogu, he was actually the landlord in the countryside of Daming Prefecture, not the landlord, and he could not have been taking the imperial examination for so many years.

So he understood the rural situation and knew what the more conservative landlord-class literati were planning.

"No gentry cannot govern the countryside," Zhao Jiaren said, "The court governs only to the county, and it still depends on gentry when going down. It is difficult to distinguish between gentry and businessmen in the east. Many gentry and businessmen have become rich by working both business... And in Shaanxi, there are probably many powerful gentry and gentry, which is different again.

If the soldiers of the Western Army are properly placed, then the generals of the army should be used as village soldiers and soldiers as villagers, and the villages should be used as village teachers to manage the villages and set up village schools. At the same time, they will be granted remote official lands... Different numbers will be granted according to the official title, and transactions will be strictly prohibited and rents and taxes will be reduced."

Zhao Jiaren's idea was actually to transform the Western Army from a mercenary group to a land-based government army group, and at the same time to solidify its original class to the greatest extent.

The solidification of rural classes is probably the dream of Chinese rural scholars and officials? The imperial examination system can theoretically play a role in opening up the lower-level upward channel, but in fact, the children of low-level farmers have no chance to receive good Confucian education and cannot pass the Jinshi at all. The upward channel of the imperial examination has nothing to do with them. However, in Jiehe Shang City and Jingdong Shang City, there are more opportunities for the lower-level people to rise.

Because commercial activities, technological innovation and colonial activities are subversive... Many of the bad guys who came out of the Shaman Island at the bottom of the Song Dynasty have turned over in colonial expansion. Even if there is no chance, as long as you follow the bad guy Ji to go out to sea, at least fifty yuan will be earned every year, and everyone on Nanxin Island will get gold. After snatching Gadha, you can get gold again. After a few years of "adventure", who doesn't save hundreds of yuan will definitely be an unlucky guy who lost all the gambling money.

With hundreds of savings, hundreds of acres of paddy fields near Haizhou have also been found. Why isn’t the class rise? There is still no good luck or great ability. If you are lucky and have great ability, it is not certain to become a rich man in the "adventurer's paradise" of Nanxin Island, or to become a colonial governor Dangdang.

This kind of upward channel is much more reliable than being a tenant and dreaming of giving birth to a Jinshi for his son. Wu Haogu is very doubtful that there was a tenant and Jinshi in the Song Dynasty?

However, because the Song Dynasty did not have scholars, the two long-term "fame" of Juren, and there was no restriction on land transactions. Therefore, the status of intellectuals of the landlord class was not particularly reliable, and they often had to rely on the Yimen who gathered together to keep warm.

It is also an idea to establish the dominance of the gentry in the form of a "country agreement", but the experiment of the township agreement has not been successful in any place outside Lantian County.

Now, Su Che and Su Chi and his son took advantage of the opportunity of laying off and sorting out the Western Army and wanted to try the way of a village agreement again.

However, Su Dahuzi and his son must have not thought clearly about the difference between the Western Army Warrior Group and ordinary literati and official landlords. Once the Western Army is linked to the land in the process of layoffs and sorting, and establishing a hierarchical system of "big gentry, small townsmen, soldiers, villagers", maybe the resurrection of the Guanlong Warrior Group!

"Bo Chong," Wu Haogu asked, "What do you think Zhao Jiyi's idea?"

"Feable!" Su Chi nodded immediately, "But how to allocate the land? The number of Western soldiers is quite large. If you want to properly resettle, don't know how much land you need?"

"There are some land!" Wu Haogu smiled, "And there are not many elite troops in the Western Army. After deducting the archers who have given the land, the maximum number is 40,000 to 50,000 elite troops... This also includes the utility soldiers of each company. The average land resettlement is 400 mu per person, which is 20 million mu. There are not so many official fields on the Sixth Road in Shaanxi, and Shuofang Road is almost the same as Lingzhou. Lingzhou still has 300,000 mu of paddy fields! That can be divided into several mu of dry land per mu.

The question now is whether the court can agree to allocate land in the third northwest route, and whether the Western Army generals can support us?"
