Come to Song Dynasty with the system

A small mountain of grain was piled in the yard of the cement yard that had been built recently. All the people who came here were excited.

Many people, especially the elderly, couldn't help crying.

These are people who have experienced the era of not having enough to eat. Their greatest wish in life is to have food to eat and not starve to death.But even such a seemingly small request from future generations cannot be satisfied now.

For many people at the bottom, their grandfathers died of starvation, their grandfathers’ fathers also starved to death, and their grandfathers’ grandfathers died of starvation.

Although they are very hard-working and capable, under the oppression of the landlords and gentry, and in these times and circumstances where ordinary people are not regarded as human beings at all, the harvest is really good and the people are suffering.

Natural disasters make people suffer even more.

Now that the Dragon King is here, under the leadership of Su Shi, God has been extra generous. Not only is the weather smooth, but the average grain output is higher than in previous years. There are also potatoes, etc., so that everyone can fully see the hope of having a full stomach.

I heard people say that as long as they apply next year, everyone can grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc. Doesn’t that mean that they can also get such a bumper harvest next fall?

In particular, the agricultural tax collected by Su Shi was very low and was directly linked to the people's harvest.

That is to say, if there is a good year and the harvest is big, more will be turned over; if there is a disaster year, less will be turned over.

This is a very user-friendly way to pay taxes, and is very recognized by the people.The most important thing is that farmers under the rule of Dragon King do not pay any exorbitant taxes except paying taxes when harvesting.

In many dynasties, the above policies were good, but they were not implemented properly.

When we got down there, things changed.

The corruption of the petty officials below eventually made it difficult for the people to make ends meet, and eventually forced the people to rebel and make a living.

King Longtian has publicly said more than once that agricultural taxes are just what he wants. If anyone dares to tamper with them, people can sue officials in other places. This is also a way to break local monopoly.Not only that, Dragon News also appeared in response to the situation.

In addition to explanations of politics and economics, Dragon News also has a special convenience column.This is the voice channel Su Shi left for the people at the bottom.

Normally, Long Bao will talk about some examples of farmers in this space, such as who cultivates the land well and has the highest yield; who has come up with new ways to save energy and increase production, etc.

But once a farmer feels that he has been wronged, the content inside will change and become a place for grievances, accusations, and complaints.

Su Shi didn't want to be fooled by the people below. Any tall building with a poor foundation would be in danger of collapse at any time.

It is said that if there is no peace in the house, everything will come to an end.

The last thing Su Shi wanted to see was for the army to expand its territory at the front, and the war became tense.Behind him, there are people who are constantly pressing, creating instability.

Having gained some good experience from later generations, Su Shi just wanted to stabilize the rear, so that he could focus on expanding his territory and population, reviving the Han people, and strengthening the Han people.

In September, in addition to the bumper grain harvest, which Su Shi used to win over the people, the construction of Dingzhou City also began in full swing.

There will be heavy snowfall in Goryeo in October, and there is only a little more than a month to turn an empty city into a prosperous one.

Needless to say, there is pressure in this place.

In other words, in the eyes of other forces, this is simply an impossible task.But in the territory of Dragon King, it is not impossible.

After more than half a year of development, with the encouragement of excellent policies, Su Shi kept his word and his strength has been expanded to a certain extent.

Especially when granaries were built one after another under the eyes of the people, the people became even more supportive of Su Shi.In the words of many elderly people, after decades of living, this is the first year that their families have so much surplus food, and they no longer have to worry about having nothing to eat in the coming year.

Whether it is out of gratitude or to protect this hard-won victory.

In short, after the autumn harvest, the land of Six Cities ushered in another wave of soldiers joining the army.

In the eyes of many people, it would be an absolute shame if there was not even a peasant soldier in the Dragon King's army at home.

This seems to mean that they do not support the Dragon King. Such a common people's home will be looked down upon by the surrounding neighbors.

In just one month, the number of auxiliary peasants and soldiers increased from 4000 to 5000, and the number of peasants and soldiers also increased from [-] to [-]. Because only some small battles against bandits took place, the number of auxiliary soldiers did not increase much. The original three hundred has become five hundred now.

There were more than 10,000 able-bodied soldiers alone. In addition to the generous labor treatment provided by Su Shi, in a short period of time, more than [-] people entered Dingzhou City. With their joint efforts, a building in the city was built. New houses were built, and wide concrete roads sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Materials are completely sufficient

Under the circumstances, the people here created one miracle after another. Before January came, a new city was erected.Some people were also moved in, and Dingzhou City became one of Su Shi's frontier cities, facing Yin Yuhu's army.

Yin Yuan came back from Liao Kingdom.

When I went there I was full of confidence, but when I came back I was downcast, like an eggplant beaten by frost, too wilted.

After learning that Yin Yuan failed and returned, Yin Yuhu slapped the table and cursed.

I originally thought that my willingness to surrender to the Liao Kingdom would be a good thing for both parties.Unexpectedly, all the money was spent, but nothing was accomplished.

Unable to get support from the Liao State, mainly because of the inability to buy the food provided by the other party, a strong sense of crisis naturally enveloped Yin Yuhu.

This year, the autumn grain in the area controlled by Yin Yuhu has just fallen, so it can last for a while.But what about next year?

It is far from enough to feed the troops in hand with this little food.The production area of ​​Goryeo is in the south, not in the north.If we don't think of a solution, everyone will be hungry after next summer.

Can an army that has no food to eat still point to him to defend the city?

"Train the troops, train the troops intensively, and send troops out after the spring of next year." Yin Yuhu gritted his teeth and said this.

Since you don't have enough food in your hands, just grab it.Didn't news come that many granaries had been built where the Dragon King was?

If you can defeat them, the food will be yours.With food, you can recruit countless troops. At that time, you used this to attack South Korea.

However, it is not impossible for him to become the new King of Korea.

"Recruit troops, and if they are not recruited, we will capture the strong men. In short, when spring starts tomorrow, I will see an army of 20 people appear in front of me." Facing a group of Yin clan members, Yin Yuhu issued this fatal order.

......

At the end of September, three caravans from the Liao Kingdom finally arrived at the six cities ruled by Su Shi.

After passing the Great Wall and entering Yongzhou, the jolting feeling inside the carriage disappeared.

The broad cement road that goes as far as the eye can see, and the horse-drawn carriage walking on it is very smooth, this is the first impression given to the three caravans who came here.

After following the convoy through two checkpoints and entering Yongzhou City, the bustling feeling came into view.

Yongzhou has only been part of the Land of the Dragon King for a short time, but it still appears extremely prosperous after Su Shi invested a lot of energy and material.

Above the street, there are still wide concrete roads on the ground. Walking here, the sounds of small merchants and hawkers can be heard endlessly.

Walking on the cement road, when the three caravans from the Liao Kingdom came into view, they were shocked one after another.

First of all, the streets are very clean. It is not like other cities in Goryeo or most cities in the Liao Kingdom, where feces is rampant on the streets. In some places, the stench fills the sky even before people arrive.

Here, you can't see any garbage at all, let alone people urinating on the streets.

Apart from the cleanliness, the second impression is that the people here are very well-behaved.

Although the street is very busy, everyone is walking on the right side and no one is walking in the opposite direction.At the same time, these people are all

It is possible to walk on the side, so that the cement road is built for driving, making it lively and at the same time, the traffic is still very convenient.

At this point, even if the Liao Kingdom devoted all its efforts to build the capital, it was incomparable.

I think the bustling capital is prosperous, but it feels chaotic.Especially when officials go to court, the carriages are next to each other, and traffic jams occur almost every day. Unlike here, despite the excitement, everything is orderly.

The third impression given to the merchant convoy is that the people here are all in good spirits.

Most people have smiles on their faces, which is a feeling of happiness.

A feeling of running forward, having hope, and having a sense of the future.

Moreover, the people here all walk with their heads raised and their chests held high, and the disheveled faces that can often be seen seem to disappear in an instant.

This kind of appearance of the common people, even in the Liao Kingdom, can only be seen on some wealthy and powerful people.But in Yongzhou City, everyone here is like this.

It is shocking and frightening to think that Su Shi has only been here for half a year and has brought about such a big change.

In addition, there is also the prosperity of business here.On the streets, you can see people selling their own grain, their own eggs, and some of their own local specialties.

There are also some people who have a sign next to them that says all the things they know, as if they are waiting for others to hire them.From time to time, other people would come and, after a few words of conversation, they would often leave. It seemed that they had found an employer.

Got to work.

And no one cares about all this happening?
