Chapter 105 Dominate the world(2/2)
The foundation of feudal society is farming, and farming is something that can never be avoided.
First of all, it is necessary to promote improved varieties. In fact, a lot of work has been done on this matter. Potatoes have been promoted for half a week.
What remains is that after it is promoted throughout the country, the remote areas that are not currently promoted actually need potatoes more than other places.
The second point is to curb land annexation.
Before the Great Zhou Dynasty, land annexation was not suppressed, which resulted in the prosperity of industry and commerce in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But this matter is still too much, and the industry and commerce of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot tolerate too many landless peasants.
Too many farmers have lost their land and cannot find jobs.
There is no way to live, it will only cause all kinds of civil unrest and lose the national power of the Zhou Dynasty.
The third point is that Sheng Changbai still supported the emperor in implementing the Green Seedling Law in local areas.
During lean times, the government lent money to farmers at low interest rates.
On the one hand, greedy for this money on behalf of the imperial court, on the other hand, the damage caused by usury to the common people is still too serious.
Homesteaders who borrowed money from loan sharks rarely get back on their feet.
One by one, they were changed from the main customers of the imperial court to clients who had no land, were dependent on the local area, and could not make much contribution to the imperial court.
To do this kind of thing, the ethics and supervision of officials must be improved a lot.
But it was only after rectifying the administration of officials, preparing for constant supervision, and arranging a complete supervision system that Sheng Changbai dared to support this kind of thing.
Otherwise, the original good governance will only be implemented as harsh governance in local areas.
The last point is Fangtian. Find out the acres of land that are not reported in the local area.
The land that is ownerless and concealed in the local area can be seized and sold to the lower class people at a cheap price to supplement the income of the ordinary people.
"Then it's military."
We can promote the art of general warfare. In the forbidden army, the problem of generals not knowing the soldiers and soldiers not knowing the generals is worth changing.
The generals who train and lead troops on expeditions are never the same group of people, which is quite an exaggeration.
This will indeed not make the generals too powerful, but it will also affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
Giving a transfer period of five to ten years can also minimize this problem.
The reform of the military must continue.
Removing redundant troops and eliminating the old and weak are long-term tasks.
In addition, some benefits can be improved for soldiers and warriors.
Of course, as the salary increases, the quality of soldiers and generals will also improve.
The new emperor is better than the previous emperor in terms of martial arts, and he has the confidence to be more relaxed with the generals.
The military academy still needs to be arranged, and new generals need to be assessed and put on duty before taking office.
The old generals and officers will also be reinstated in batches.
"Then there's the reform of commercial law."
Promulgate sound commercial laws and create a better business environment.
Prospering the economy and collecting more business taxes is one aspect.
The other is to restrict the behavior of businessmen. The government still needs to control things like unscrupulous hoarding and driving up prices.
Then we will increase maritime trade and slowly develop shipping, maritime trade, and the navy.
On the one hand, increasing the income of the imperial court, the navy can also be of great use when targeting the Liao Kingdom.
"Weapons also need to be reformed."
Sheng Changbai can take the lead in this matter, and climbing the technological tree is one aspect.
It is also necessary to ensure the quality of the weapons manufactured by each weapons supervisor.
Now the quality of the weapons of the Zhou Dynasty is so different from that of the Xixia.
The technical gap itself is one aspect, and the lack of strict quality control and uneven quality is another aspect.
In terms of quality, Sheng Changbai can climb the technological tree by himself, improve the smelting level and improve the strength of steel.
In terms of quantity, we can also promote the assembly line so that these blacksmiths and craftsmen can only focus on one skill to improve production efficiency and quality.
When Sheng Changbai was thirty years old, the reforms of the Zhou Dynasty achieved initial results.
There have been certain achievements in agriculture, military, commerce, and weapons.
With the country rich and the army strong, and conditions ripe, Zhou launched another war against Xixia.
Gu Tingye led an army to defend the Liao Kingdom in the north.
Sheng Changbai led his troops out of Hengshan and captured Xixia.
Xixia, which was in more chaos in the country, performed worse than last time.
Sheng Changbai not only successfully occupied Hengshan, but also led his troops to invade Xingqing Mansion in Xixia.
If it weren't for the young emperor and the old widow of Xixia, there would still be nomadic instincts to run fast.
Sheng Changbai could really capture the young emperor of Xixia and return to Bianliang to offer him as a prisoner.
After plundering the Xingqing Mansion in Xixia and burning down the capital of Xixia.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Only then did Sheng Changbai decide to end this battle.
To be honest, Sheng Changbai really didn't like this land in the northwest, and neither did the Zhou Dynasty court.
Occupying these places can gain certain strategic advantages.
But it only has strategic advantages, and development is very difficult. The input and output are really not proportional.
There are many sites within Dazhou that can be developed, but they have not yet been developed.
I really don’t have the energy to vigorously open up more barren territory.
The occupied territory was nominally under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, but in fact it was entrusted to the Fan people who were attached to the Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, after these Ban people have been educated by the Han people for a long time and recognized the culture of the Han people, they will be assimilated sooner or later and become their own people in the Zhou Dynasty.
Sheng Changbai's dispatch of troops this time not only crippled Dangxiang, but also made Dangxiang's people no longer a threat to the Zhou Dynasty for a short period of time.
The other thing is to open up the trade routes between Dazhou and the Western Regions. It will be much easier for Dazhou to purchase war horses than before.
When Sheng Changbai was thirty-five years old, the Zhou Dynasty went through another five years of hard work and hard work.
He launched a war against the Liao Kingdom and divided his troops into five routes, marching simultaneously from the northwest, northern Xinjiang, Shandong, inland rivers, and sea routes.
After two years of offensive, the Zhou Dynasty finally defeated the increasingly decadent Liao Kingdom.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were recovered, realizing the long-cherished wish of the Zhou Dynasty since the generation of Taizu.
If the Jin people were not powerful, the Zhou Dynasty would not be suitable to directly border the Jin people at present, and the Liao Kingdom would have to be left to deal with the Jin people.
In fact, there was no need for the Zhou Dynasty to accept Liao's surrender.
When Sheng Changbai was thirty-seven years old, he accomplished the unparalleled feat of destroying Xia Pingliao.
At the age of Buhuo, he became a minister, Zuopushe, and his servant.
