Chapter 105 Site Doubled

Regarding the term "special zone", although it can be regarded as a brand new word in this era, "special zone" itself does not have much new meaning. There are more special zones in the Tang and Song dynasties! Strictly speaking, "one country, two systems" is not a creation in later generations, just because there have been too many similar political practices in Chinese history.

The three keywords of "limited areas" are enough to cover "special zones" and "one country, two systems". More than a thousand years ago, there were 856 "limited areas" at the most. During the Tang Dynasty, there were hundreds or thousands of "special zones" under their jurisdiction. The Tang Dynasty followed the principle of "one country, two systems" for these hundreds or thousands of "special zones". It can be seen that the political models of later generations were mostly inherited from history. Of course, if there is inheritance, there will be mutations, at least the name will change.

After tracing the new things, the rule of robbery can also be traced back to the Han Dynasty. For example, the management of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty was still implemented on a large scale. The Song Dynasty learned from the Tang system and had many robbery states under its jurisdiction, but in terms of quantity, it was not enough to be against the Tang Dynasty.

After the Song Dynasty moved south, the only areas where the jail states were set up were convenient for setting up jail states, including Sichuan, Guangnan West Road and Jinghu South Road, and the entire Guizhou area was jail states.

To put it more commonly, the special zone management model with an autonomous nature. The degree of custody means that the degree of "autonomousness" and "speciality" is different. The slightest custody means that the degree of "autonomousness" and "speciality" is different. The slightest custody means that the army does not garrison and does not care about anything, and only belongs to the Song Dynasty in name; the slightly stronger custody means that a small number of coordinated officials and a small number of guards who follow these officials are symbolically dispatched at a large area of ​​places; the stronger custody means that the army is stationed at various local checkpoints, and local tribal troops can be recruited to fight when necessary, but it still does not manage or collect taxes. The strongest custody means that the army is not only stationed, but also dispatches civil servants to directly manage and collect taxes. However, this is extremely rare in the Song Dynasty. Such a strong custody can only trace to the Tang Dynasty. During the heyday of Li Longji's rule, taxes were collected in Anxi Jun Town and the towns of the Shuye Han people.

The Xinhua that Mao Geng went to before was in the nature of the zodiac territory before 1076. Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty opened the border with Xining. First, Zhang Dun attacked the Meishan Manchus by force and then peacefully resolved. The Meishan Manchus thus naturalized the Song Dynasty and established the Xinhua and Anhua counties in the original zodiac territory, and finally officially placed the area that was previously autonomous by the Meishan Manchus under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty.

In other words, before 1076, Xinhua was one of the "special zones" that were bound by the Song Dynasty. The territory was included in the territory of the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty did not care about local affairs and did not collect taxes from the local area. After naturalization, the "special zones" such as Xinhua returned to the "special zones" due to frequent rebellion and rebellion. Because once tax resistance and rebellion happened again and again, the court always had to mobilize troops to suppress them. The military expenditure was very huge. Compared with the tax collected, the little tax collected was completely a drop in the bucket, and it was not as cost-effective as returning to the original state of restraint. The Song Dynasty court mostly adhered to the principle of financial priority, so it was not only not profitable but always lost money to these territories, but simply put on an attitude of how you like, and didn't care about slapping yourself in the face.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty court did not regard it as a disaster for the new word "special zone". At first, the monarchs and ministers thought that this was just an old wine in a new bottle. When Zhao Han reported the establishment of the Kaohsiung Special Zone to the court, the monarchs and ministers realized that this "special zone" was different from the "special zone" of the Song Dynasty's restraining nature.

Zhao Shen was already quite satisfied with the smooth entry into Taiwan. Now Zhao Han asked Kuaima to send natural gold collected from Taipei, which made Zhao Shen feel that his choice this time was not wrong, so he seemed particularly excited.

"Congratulations to the officials. I didn't expect to dig a gold mine so soon. Now it seems that this mine may get 10,000 or 20,000 gold a year, which is actually my blessing in the Song Dynasty.

Liu Zheng saw Zhao Shen happy and congratulated him like a fun thing.

Zhou Bida also took advantage of the situation and said:

"The old minister also thinks this is a joyful thing. If you produce 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a year, you can be invincible in Taiwan. However, there are many barbarian tribes in Taiwan, and they have no language, so they don't have any writings. It takes time for the king to have joy and worry!"

Zhou Bida was naturally very excited about the successful acquisition of Taiwan. However, when he thought about the difficulty of the kingship of the barbarians, he was a little worried. For example, the Meishan Barbarians on the south side of Jinghu took more than a hundred years from being bound by the Song Dynasty to naturalization of the Song Dynasty. Since ancient times, it is easy to conquer the country and defend the country. It is easy to conquer the country and to defend the country. It is certainly easy to conquer the land of the barbarians who are still in the stage of slash-and-burn farming, but it is not easy to conquer their hearts and make them eventually naturalized.

While Zhao Shen was happy, he was also clear-headed. Zhao Shen had been governing the country for many years and was very practical. He was an emperor who was not a fame and rarely spent money to buy and shout. During the Gandao period, Zhao Shen no longer tried to be honest with Annan's name for Annan, and changed the way the Song Dynasty never recognized Annan, and appointed Annan Li Yingzong as the king of Annan, and in fact recognized Annan. As a pragmatic emperor, Zhao Shen knew very well whether it could be digested smoothly in the end. It was not easy for him to celebrate the achievements.

"I don't know how many people live on the island of Taiwan. What Zhou Aiqing said is that Taiwan has joy and worries. It is indeed a good thing to produce money. It is always good to save some money for the court. What do you think of Mao Geng's request for the Kaohsiung Special Zone?"

What Zhao Shen was most worried about was that Taiwan was a bottomless pit that required the court to spend money continuously. It could at least make up for the expenses if it could dig a gold mine. However, the kingship of the barbarians could not be achieved overnight, which would take time. On the contrary, the cement and the time table would be effective in the short term, so it is Mao Geng who is worth looking forward to.

"I report to the officials, and I think that it is necessary to build Taiwan step by step. Since Taipei produces gold and there are rivers deep inland, we should concentrate manpower and material resources to cultivate the Taipei area. If we do it in a scattered way, I want to cover everything, but I am afraid that it will not achieve it if I want to get hasty."

Wang Lin believed that Zhao Han's practice of developing Taipei and Kaohsiung at the same time was too hasty and wanted to blossom in the territory occupied by the former barbarians, which obviously lacked the difficulty.

Wang Lin's words made Zhao Shen a little worried. He thought to himself that Zhao Yan and Mao Geng were both young boys and they were inevitably very happy. On the completely unfamiliar island of barbarians, one should indeed be cautious and not make any mistakes.

However, Zhou Bida immediately pointed to the sand table in Taiwan and said:

"Report to the official, please look at the terrain of Taiwan. Although the land of Taipei is good, the southern part of Taiwan is a large plain with abundant rainfall and fertile land, which is easy to cultivate and cultivate. This place is not a mountainous area, and barbarians are difficult to hide and will be difficult to suffer. Once something happens, our Song army can also quickly reinforce from the sea. They have no mountains as barriers, and they are not enough to compete with our Song army. Therefore, the old minister thinks that this piece of land should be developed in time."

Zhou Bi paused and continued:

"The old minister thinks that it is impossible for Duke Jiaguo to set up a 'Kaohsiung Special Zone', but the old minister suggests that Kaohsiung County will not be set up for the time being, and that only the 'Kaohsiung Special Zone' can be set up for the time being, so that you can advance or retreat. If the barbarians are rampant, you can retreat to the coast and then slowly plan for it."

Zhao Shenyi heard that Zhou Bida's approach would be considered carefully. It seems that it is unreasonable to put such a fertile plain without pioneering it, but Wang Lin's concerns are not unreasonable, because he is afraid that he will not achieve haste and will be trapped by the barbarians at that time. Not setting up a county is just a "special zone" and leaving enough room for space. As expected, ginger is the old one.

In Zhao Shen's mind, although the so-called "Kaohsiung Special Zone" of Jilu Prefecture cannot be equated with Mao Geng, it is different from the prefectures and counties formally ruled by the Song Dynasty. Moreover, this is a newly occupied uncivilized land, so it is feasible to deal with it in this way.

Finally, after some discussions between the monarch and his ministers, Zhou Bida, a strategy that can be advanced or retreated was further enriched and developed. The monarch and his ministers made a decision to focus on the development of Taipei and Kaohsiung in Taiwan. Taipei produced gold, of course, should be listed as the key development areas, and unanimously agreed to be the capital of Taiwan. The territory of the "Kaohsiung Special Zone" doubled, and suddenly it reached 600,000 acres. This was a decision made by the monarch and his ministers based on the principle of prudent development. The monarch and his ministers had the idea of ​​advancing or retreating. They had the idea of ​​advancing and planning to retreat for this "Kaohsiung Special Zone". It was good to be able to open up 600,000 acres of land, but even if they could only open up 150,000 acres of land in the end, they would not be very dissatisfied. If it really doesn't work, then retreat to Taipei. Of course, if the ending of leaving in a mess, it would be a bit disappointing.

When Mao Geng received the news in Kaohsiung, a typhoon had just passed.

Mao Geng looked around and saw many temporary cement tiles and tiles blown off the cement tiles and roofs, and some collapsed houses, making the entire Song Dynasty military camp appear in a mess.

Mao Geng didn't know what the monarch and ministers in Lin'an had, but his "Chief Chief" of the "Kaohsiung Special Zone" not only received approval from the court, but his territory doubled. However, the central area of ​​the "Kaohsiung Special Zone" is still only 150,000 acres, and the remaining territory that he temporarily cared for is called "Kaohsiung Special Zone License Area", damn! Isn't this "Kaohsiung Special Zone License Area" a special zone among the special zones?
