Chapter 1002: Who knows that the country is far away on the pillow, Tianhai is drunk, Jiangnan in the dream
Chapter 1002: Who knows that the family and country are far away on the pillow, the sky and the sea are drunk, and the Jiangnan in the dream
You should know how much money the Song Dynasty spent on the army. Just give an example and everyone will understand.
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the cost of raising soldiers in a place in Shaanxi exceeded one twice the financial income of this place.
In other words, in Shaanxi, their military expenditure is 200% of their fiscal revenue!
When Qiao Xingjian thought that Shen Mo had just thrown away a big bag for them, he pointed to the map and wanted to carry the bag back to him again. He immediately blushed and immediately gave up his idea of expanding his territory.
...
At this time, the old and young ministers in the hall began to discuss what new policies should be adopted in this country that was about to be obtained.
What made them most happy was that these two places were just a piece of white paper and could be left to them to describe. In the previous dynasty, border troubles, finances, famine, almost all of these disadvantages and burdens were left aside. This new look in front of them made everyone so happy that they couldn't control themselves.
...
At this time, Wei Leweng looked at Shen Mo and said, "Now we want to establish a new dynasty in the south, we must be different from Lin'an... I wonder what General Shen has to do with this title?"
"Shen Mo is not good at vocational school, so he dare not argue!"
When Shen Mo heard the old man's words, he immediately hit the ball back with one hand.
"These old people are good everywhere, but they are too thoughtful!" Shen Mo thought to himself: "I always like to take out some things to test you anytime, anywhere if I have nothing to do."
The words Wei Leweng asked just now were nothing more than trying to see how much voice Shen Mo wanted to have in the upcoming new policy.
So Shen Mo immediately said that he would never make any mistakes and interfere with them.
Although Shen Mo did not take the lead this time, this topic immediately aroused heated discussion among the civil and military officials in the hall.
Then, their names were titled.
When Zhen Dexiu suddenly said the name "Southern Song Dynasty", Shen Mo said "puff" and accidentally sprayed out a sip of tea that had just been drunk in his mouth.
When everyone looked at Shen Mo in surprise, they saw him holding a teacup and looked at everyone with a little embarrassed expression:
"The boy is stupid. I once heard that he has attacked the north from the south and has never achieved success since ancient times..."
“What you said makes sense!”
Before Shen Mo could finish his words, some of the ministers immediately began to nod in agreement.
The meaning of Shen Mo's words is actually correct.
From ancient times to the present, there are indeed few successful examples of conquering the north from the south in China, so the name of the Southern Song Dynasty is really not very auspicious.
"Then let's get Xin Song!"
After thinking about it, Wei Leweng immediately said, "There is no problem for him to restore his life and use the new to defeat the old!"
After hearing this name of "Xin Song", everyone thought it was all good, so they set it down for a temporary decision and waited for the emperor Zhao and Rui to wake up before making a decision.
...
At this moment, Zhao Yurui, who was sleeping in the drunken state, never expected that after he thought he had handed over the imperial power and became a commoner from then on, he would become the emperor of an empire again in less than half a day!
At this moment, he was still sleeping. The giant ship lying under him was riding the wind and waves in the vast sea, heading towards the brand new country he was about to own!
"I would like to ask whether Lingnan should be good. This is where my heart is peaceful... it is my hometown!"
...
Perhaps due to the dual effects of the antidote and alcohol, Zhao and Rui fell asleep for more than 30 hours before waking up.
When he got up in his cabin, Zhao Yurui, who had a dry mouth, took the teapot at the bedside for a while, then let out a long breath of relief.
He did not call the servant, but sat on the edge of the bed with his legs hanging down, and was stunned for a while.
After arriving in Tongzhou, they will probably be idle. Zhao Yurui rubbed his face and thought: In the next time... should we hunt? Or fish?
It's better to hunt!
After weighing the matter, Zhao and Rui thought that hunting with rifles would be more interesting than hunting with bows and arrows!
Let Shen Mo make a hunting rifle for me. After that, we ran around the mountains and fields, and we caught and beat whoever we caught! Zhao Yurui said to himself:
This time I want to sleep in, go out to tease the folk girls, drink and sing all night long! I want to have fun with the things I didn’t dare to do when I was the emperor in the past!
When Zhao Yurui thought of this, he felt that he was full of strength again. Then he pushed open the hatch door with great energy and walked out.
However, at this time he didn't know that after more than thirty hours of sailing, the fleet had arrived in Fuzhou.
...
When he arrived at the mouth of the Minjiang River, the fleet went upstream. Shen Mo only realized that the landform here was very different from that of later generations.
It is similar to his Tongzhou. In Tongzhou, Chongming Island in the Southern Song Dynasty was only two or three kilometers long and three kilometers long, almost one-fifth of the later generations.
In Fuzhou, there is no large area of alluvial plain near the entrance of the Minjiang River. At this time, Fuzhou City was basically very close to the seaside.
Fuzhou is located on the north bank of the Minjiang River. It is also necessary to get off the boat at the pier along the river and walk through another period to make the towering city wall.
In the era of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, 160 years ago, Fuzhou prefect Zhang Boyu once planted banyan trees everywhere in Fuzhou. Therefore, Fuzhou has now obtained the name of "banyan city" in later generations.
At this time, the population of Fuzhou had reached 590,000, of which more than 100,000 people lived in the city. This is the ship manufacturing center of the entire Song Dynasty. The nearby land is fertile and the grain output is amazing.
During the Song Dynasty alone, Fuzhou had a total of 21 top scholars in civil and military affairs, and the number of Jinshi reached 2,200. Therefore, whether it is economy, transportation, culture, education, or business, it is an extremely prosperous place.
According to General Fan's words, it can be said that this place is the most fertile land in the entire Southern Song Dynasty.
At this moment, Shen Mo's fleet had already docked on the Fuzhou Port, facing the Nanguo Banyan City with gold, silver and fine wine.
...
After Zhao and Rui washed their faces and changed their clothes, he walked all the way to the ship's side under the protection of naval soldiers.
Afterwards, Zhao Yurui was surprised to find that the ship was about to dock.
At this moment, Shen Mo and civil and military ministers were all present at the bow of the ship. When they saw His Majesty the Emperor recovering, they walked out in a thrilling manner and immediately saluted and bowed on the bow of the ship.
