However, countless fortresses were built before, and the court did not care about it, and the people did not dare to enter, and they would gradually become abandoned in the future.

In fact, many fortresses have good geographical locations, and even in later generations, they have developed into a county town or a district-level city.

This is a pity. Some fortresses are large in area and have many houses and sewers and other facilities. For example, Dashun City, its area is at least in Shaanxi, and ordinary county towns are not as large as it is.

Wang Ju sent someone to sort them out and divide them into two parts. One is commercially valuable, so that officials can renovate them. Part of them are used to arrange the families of the sacrificed military and civilians, or disabled soldiers. Even if they can't do business, rent can protect their lives.

The second is for sale. The Song Dynasty was crowded with population, tight arable land, and urban houses also became tight. As for the prices of commercial storefronts, the prices of commercial storefronts were also rising steadily. Although it was impossible to sell the housing prices in big cities, they were enough to maintain the cost of repairs.

Wang Ju didn't want to rely on them to increase his income, but if these houses were handed over to merchants, the states and counties could increase their business tax revenue in the future.

There are some that have little commercial value, so they will continue to be used as barracks. If you really can't do it, then let it go.

Then something inspiring, lay off troops!

All the men, brave, archers, and strong men in Yongxing, Fuyan, Huanqing, Jingyuan, and Qinfeng were cut off.

As for Poche, only a portion of the elite soldiers were retained, and they were assisting the government in maintaining public order and capturing thieves. In case of this, they could be drawn to fight. However, they were also divided into two forms, such as Jingzhao Prefecture, Shanzhou, Shangzhou, Huazhou, and Hezhong Prefecture, and the Poche Army was completely responsible for the people after the reduction. However, although the original four-way Poche Army in the border line was cut, Wang Ju ordered the governments of various states to encourage them to migrate to the front line with their families and turn into border troops.

Although the border army will participate in the battle, it is different from immigrants. First of all, they stay in various forts and villages with their families. They have sufficient safety guarantees in normal times. The court will provide houses, but unlike immigrants, the court only provides some materials and builds their own houses. Build a rich house better, and those who don’t have money will live in thatched huts first. In addition, there are benefits. The border army cannot enjoy the treatment of the forbidden soldiers, but the court will also pay more than 100,000 yuan in a year, including silk, cloth, tea, firewood, charcoal and other materials. At the same time, their family members are exempt from taxes in farming.

If you have good conditions or are afraid of death, then forget it. For those who are not afraid of death or have difficulties at home, these are enough to move them.

All the foreign troops of the foreign people were retained because they were all cavalry and could reach the front-line battlefield very quickly and had good combat effectiveness. The treatment given by the court was not too high and could afford it, so they were all retained.

Then, when you have strong men and horses, you will be cut off all of them. If you don’t fight, you will have to pay taxes, otherwise the Han people will feel unfair.

So he paid half taxes equivalent to Han people.

After the Xining Reform, the two taxes in the Song Dynasty increased a little, but because the imperial court built water conservancy and increased a large amount of arable land, the equal tax on land in the square land forced many powerful people to pay taxes. For ordinary people, in fact, the two taxes began to decline since the Xining Reform.

Wang Ju came back to serve as the prime minister and gradually cut two taxes on a large scale. In fact, the two taxes are now very low, only half of that during the reign of Emperor Yingzong of Song.

In addition, the two taxes in the Song Dynasty were based on fields and other places. These foreigners were usually lazy, and the land was used to make them farm the land. Therefore, this half was only about one-eighth of the time of Emperor Yingzong of Song.

Such low taxes can also be accepted by foreigners.

In fact, it doesn’t matter how much tax is paid, but its symbol. As long as taxes are paid, it proves that the court can formally rule and manage it.

Some foreigners may be unfair, but the problem is not big. Most foreigners participated in this battle, and after this battle, the court would assign a large number of rewards. Compared with these rewards, this little tax is nothing.

The size of the garrison troops stationed was also reduced to one-third of the original.

The dew came out, and the people from all five routes were cheering. Years of war in the northwest also made them suffer. Now they are finally free.

Then we went to Xihe Road, Huangzhou and Hexi Roads. The situation here is different. Some tribes must be prevented from rebelling. There are also some foreign tribes in the south of Dajishishan and the southwest of Chiling, so we must prevent them from coming to plunder. Although Hei Khan did not dare to have a strange intention towards the Song Dynasty, he also had to prevent the troubles before they happened. Furthermore, even the divine people in the north should prevent the Liao Kingdom from being unprepared and sent light cavalry to harass him.

Therefore, in addition to the imperial guards and border troops who were garrisoned, they also had to retain the troops of various troops. As for the strong men and horses of each unit, they also had to retain some, mainly for the strong horses, and the goal was to speed them. However, the number of retained was not too much. The further backwards, such as Lanzhou and Xihe Road, the lower the retained ratio, and the remaining ones were cut for the people.

Then go to the Northern Five Road, which is the combat preparation area, the same as the original marginal system.

The troops were almost the same as before, but the increase in border troops and the decrease in the number of imprisonments meant that the country's expenditure also decreased.

The large-scale establishment of border troops mainly based on military farms means that there will be no major war breaking out, and there will be no dependence on food and grass on the rear, which will reduce state expenditure.

This is open, and there are three invisible incomes.

Shaanxi Road was originally the best road in the Song Dynasty, but because of the Northwest War, it caused the people to suffer. Now there is no war impact, and all of them have been rested and rested. Especially since Wang Jucai and Wang Shao, in order to have more food on the front line, many water conservancy has been built and large areas of arable land has been reclaimed. The court has successively built many roads, which can now be handed over to the civilians. I won’t mention anything about that railway. Just based on these few things, Shaanxi’s financial resources will inevitably increase in the future.

The entire northwest was taken, and all the trade routes to the Western Regions and even blocked the divine world were opened. Commerce and trade would flourish like the Tang Dynasty, and commercial taxes would naturally increase accordingly.

As long as the court does not recover Yan Yun and continues to provide the Liao Kingdom with huge "harmony" coins, with the virtue of the Liao Kingdom, it will not use troops to invade years like the Western Xia. The military expenditure on the front line is not only the cost of raising troops, but mainly the cost of war. It would be better if there is no war. Once a war is fought, even a small and medium-sized battle will be millions of qian coins.

Just as Zhong Yan said, I only spent six or seven million dan to recover Suizhou, but this was only an open expenditure, sacrificing the pensions behind the injured soldiers? What about the local food and grass? What about the delays in farming production?

Besides, there are other incomes, such as the decline in horse prices, which not only provide large horse armed cavalry, but also reduce expenditures. There are also incomes that are owned by the state, bringing salt to the salt, etc.

Therefore, Zhang Shangying wrote a letter saying that although Taibao used his troops extravagantly, it was precisely this characteristic and the distinction between rewards and punishments, so the three armies actively participated in the war.

However, the Western Xia Dynasty was pacified, and just these items combined together, one in and out, could bring nearly 20 million yuan in profits to the Song Dynasty every year. That is, more than 10 million yuan in "national debts" were deducted every year, and nearly half of the profits remained.

But the national debt only lasts six years. After six years, these benefits will be net gained. Even with millions of chunks of chunks, the Song Dynasty was able to exempt all the two taxes.

Accounts cannot be calculated like this, and the two taxes are complicated and there are also invisible ones, such as the transfer of governments in various places, and the corruption of some officials, the 40 million taxes are distributed to the people, and at least 60 million.

But even the most conservative minister has to admit that what Zhang Shangying said makes sense.

If you don’t mention the exemption of two taxes, how much does it have to be done with the already healthy national finances of the Song Dynasty, plus these 20 million.

Zhang Shangying couldn't read the book anymore. Some people pretended to be confused because they understood it, while others were purely confused. It was not that they were confused, but that they didn't think about the good side at all. Therefore, even now, some people wrote to them saying how much money the court spent, and that the money was still being used. Rewards and pensions must be paid one after another, immigration must be placed on resettlement, and simple water conservancy roads must be built in some backward areas, and forts must be built.

That can stop?

Some people also say that the people can’t live anymore. Can’t we see what the people lived in the past few years, especially the people on Shaanxi Road?

Some people also say that Wang Ju kills too much. Could it be that the 300,000 soldiers and civilians in Yongle City and the 100,000 civilians in Yongzhou City be considered dead? Or the Han people are not humans!

In fact, Zhang Shangying, who didn't know more about the inside story, also blamed Cai Que at this time. It was not that he suggested that some old party ministers come to power, but that there were these messy voices.

The letter of the Liao Kingdom was sent.

All quiet!

What can I say? I destroyed the Western Xia and forced the Liao Kingdom to cut off my losses. Even if many people suffer this year, it is worth it. Let’s see how hard the Han people lived in order to pacify the Huns!

Zhao Xu was overjoyed. It seemed that he could not compare with Emperor Wu of Han. He almost destroyed the entire Huns. However, in this dynasty, there were many enemies, Jiaozhi invaded, Mu Zheng betrayed, and Aligu people rebelled. If it were not handled properly, even Hei Khan would become enemies. From the south to the west to the north, there were enemies on all sides. But now there was only one Liao Kingdom left.

The Liao Kingdom also forced the Liao Kingdom to lower its head. After Chai Rong, from Taizu to Taizong, to Zhenzong Renzong, and to his father, no emperor ever made the Liao Kingdom bow his head.

The most important thing is that the people do not suffer.

Many ministers reported that the people were suffering, and Zhao Xu was also worried that when the front line was at a critical moment, a major uprising came from behind, and that would be over.

So I sent a few eunuchs from my confidant to go out to inspect them, from the city to the outside of the city, and even slid to several surrounding states. You only looked at them and said nothing, and then you saw them, whether they were good or bad, report them to me one by one.

Several eunuchs came back and reported that there was nothing wrong. It was indeed because the mobilized a large amount of food and grass in the rear and the rising prices of grain, which led to some people a little resentment, but most people expressed their understanding.

After all, it was only this year whether the Song Dynasty could revive.

Don’t think that the people are fools. They also have their own views, patriotic thoughts and national honor and disgrace.

Moreover, this has little impact. One thing is that over the years, due to the increase in people's income and the intentional guidance of the court, many people have begun to build bricks and tiles, which has even become one of the conditions for marriage.

This trend has not stopped this year. It is still in all prefectures and counties. From the time of the city to outside the city, I saw many people building brick and tile houses. People don’t have money, can they build such new houses?

The finances are also healthy, and I owe a lot of national debts, but compared with the financial surplus of the Song Dynasty, what is this? It’s like a person who makes money every year and asks him to borrow 100,000 yuan will be frightened, but he can earn 10,000 yuan a year, so he will not have any worries at all.

Zhao Xu knew it well if Zhang Shangying didn't have to settle the accounts for everyone.

Can Emperor Wu of Han do it?

It turns out that he wants to compete with Emperor Wu of Han, this... If Wang Ju hadn't come over, it would have been a huge joke.

However, Zhao Xu was really happy and immediately issued an edict to inform the world.

That's why Duan Tianshui was on the construction site and quickly heard the rap's joke about the Northwest War.

Then he held up the great sacrifice and went to Taimiao to announce to the ancestors and ancestors that you have done most of your wishes, as a descendant.

The ministers looked at each other. According to etiquette, suburban sacrifices and high-end sacrifices can be held in winter, but the dates are all on the winter solstice, so there are high-end sacrifices held in the twelfth lunar month.

But this super victory, super Jiaxun, is also reason why Yue Yi held a high ceremony.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites scratched their heads, finally found some "story" and began the Taimiao Festival.

After Zhao Xu entered the Taimiao, he burst into tears.

Excited, why should reform be made? It is not only to make a healthy finance, but also to make a strong country. For this reform, it has caused so much controversy, and even the biological mother has been arguing in the harem. Now, it has finally proved that his approach is right.

And because of this year's great victory, he will become one of the famous ZTE monarchs in history.

If you are extremely happy, you will feel sad.

In fact, Zhao Xu's stroke had already occurred.

However, at Wang Ju's suggestion, the rest of the Zhongshu could handle except for the real military affairs. It was not to seize Zhao Xu's power, but to reduce his mental activities.

Zhao Xu was also prohibited from drinking, and at the same time, he asked some imperial doctors to teach him the seemingly wrong Five Animal Technique. At least exercises from time to time, which is also beneficial to health. Although some people object, this Five Animal Technique was invented by the medical saint Hua Tuo. Is it a bad thing to practice it?

Therefore, compared with history, Zhao Xu's body was slightly healthier. At the same time, the country gradually recovered and became stronger again. People were in good spirits when they were happy. This good mood was also helpful to the body.

The imperial doctor's caution.

Although the disease occurred from time to time in the past, it was treated in time by the imperial doctor.

However, his condition is deteriorating. If the weather is not good, he will suffer from headaches. Wang Ju probably has some small blood vessels burst and blood stasis begins to occur.

The imperial doctor's rash was not good, and it was getting worse and worse, so Cai Que began to arrange a "back way", including the sponsorship of the other side as a thief in Huating. In fact, Zhao Xu himself knew something vaguely, otherwise he would not have encouraged Wang Ju to teach his son the way to be the king in disguise. But he didn't know that his condition had worsened so soon...

After the high ceremony, Zhao Xu may have been in a state of great excitement and had a serious stroke.

Well, as long as the stroke occurs severely, in this era, let’s announce a long rest.

...
