The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 371
"Naturally, the breakthrough was made with will." Zhao Dongting felt a little apprehensive.

The little Taoist opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for more than ten seconds.

Those who can break the tiger's pillar with willpower are rare in the Jianghu, and those who can break through in such a short period of time are even more unique, right?
Bai Yuchan himself is the most talented disciple in Wuliang Temple, but now he is only able to break through the tiger pillar, and he still breaks through with internal energy.It took him two years to break the tiger pillar alone.

Seeing the little Taoist priest so surprised, Zhao Dongting was even more frightened, "How is it? I am a genius from heaven?"

The little Taoist sighed from the bottom of his heart, "The emperor's talent in martial arts is unique in the world."

You know, he practiced ***.With the speed at which he breaks through Huzhu, he is already the fastest in the world.

Breaking the tiger's pillar with will within a few months, even if the little Taoist thinks about it, he still finds it incredible.

But he knew that the emperor would not lie to him with such a thing.

Does the emperor need to brag?

The little Taoist priest, who has always been calm and refined, can't help but feel a little frustrated in his heart at this moment.

Could it be that Qiankun Yiqigong is so powerful?

After several hesitations, the little Taoist finally couldn't help but asked Zhao Dongting, "Can the emperor pass on the Qigong of Qiankun to the poor Taoist?"

He is far more fascinated by the way of golden core and celestial phenomena than ordinary people.

Zhao Dongting nodded and agreed straightforwardly, "Yes, tomorrow you can catch a few guinea fowls and cranes in exchange."

The little Taoist was stunned again.

He didn't expect Zhao Dongting to agree so simply.After all, Qiankun Yiqigong is the top internal strength in the arena, and its reputation is far higher than that of **. ***It’s just the practice of Wuliang Guan Zhen Guan, how can it be compared with Qian Kun Yi Qi Gong, which is regarded as the most precious treasure of Zhen Jiao by Longhushan Tianshi Taoism?

After regaining his senses, the little Taoist stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Your Majesty, poor Taoist."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, beckoning him to sit down, and sighed: "Buddhism is too prosperous, Taoism should also be prosperous."

The little Taoist narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head, and did not speak.

Although he stays in the mountains all year round, he is definitely not the kind of stupid person who is ignorant of the world.

How could he not understand what Zhao Dongting meant?

The emperor was blatantly implying him.

If Wu Wangzi and others heard this, they would probably be overjoyed, but Bai Yuchan only felt the heavy burden on his shoulders.

The emperor treats him as a friend, how can he live up to the emperor's painstaking efforts?

That night, after Zhao Dongting went back to his room to rest, the little Taoist priest was still sitting in the bamboo forest, staring at the night sky in a daze.

When the night was very dark, he went back to the Taoist temple.

Originally, this matter should be reported to the master immediately, but the little Taoist did not.

The emperor has high hopes for him, and if he wants to fulfill the emperor's wish, he must break out of the cocoon of Wuliangguan and become a butterfly.

Wuliang Temple is very popular on Guangnan West Road, but it is still too insignificant for the whole world of Taoism.It is better not to have such a foundation than to have it.

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Dongting and others stayed in the Wuliang Mangosteen Forest for more than half a month.

The aftermath of the shock in the officialdom finally faded away.

Most of the officials selected from all over the country have gone to work to rebuild the yamen in the local area.

Struggles broke out in a few places, but they were all suppressed by the Song army.This little matter did not alarm Zhao Dongting.

Lu Xiufu and the others regained their strength and went to Wuliang Mountain to look for Zhao Dongting after two days of rest.

The emperor can't always stay in the mountains, after all, the court still needs him to preside over the overall situation.

Along with Lu Xiufu and others, there are also military leaders such as Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue.

Zhao Dongting had just seen them, and said, "Have all the officials gone to take up their posts?"

Lu Xiufu and others should be.

The monarch and his ministers sat on the ground in the bamboo forest.

Zhao Dongting asked again: "Have you encountered any resistance?"

Lu Xiufu replied: "In the land near Dali and beyond the Li Dynasty, there are a few rebellious people."

"Oh."

Zhao Dongting nodded, not paying much attention to it.

Since Wen Tianxiang and others did not come to report this matter to him, it means that the matter is not serious.

That's right, think about it now that the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are in full swing, and their prestige is unparalleled.As long as those minorities have some brains, they will choose to submit.

Moreover, the chief officials in many places were originally selected from their clans with high morals and high prestige.

Although Zhao Dongting is a Han Chinese, he has no racial discrimination at all.

After a few seconds of silence, he said again: "Nawen Jun Jiling, Su Deputy Jun Jiling, and Zhang Fujun Jiling discussed and planned to send soldiers to various states and counties to form a garrison! The number is five thousand, and below Wangzhou, three thousand is tentatively. As for the counties, above Wangxian, two thousand are tentatively, and below Wangxian, one thousand is tentatively."

This amount was well thought out by him.

Now that the war has just come to an end, there are so many garrison troops in the states and counties, it is enough to assist the Ministry of Social Security in managing local security.After all, the garrison will only be used in unconventional situations such as riots, major natural disasters, or enemy invasion.Moreover, if the enemy invades the territory, the imperial army will be the main force to resist it, and it will definitely not be the local garrison.

To put it bluntly, the garrison is actually equivalent to the garrison command.

With this amount, Zhao Dongting will definitely put a huge burden on the finances of the entire Song Dynasty.

He didn't want to set up a garrison system, which meant that these garrison troops needed food and salaries from the court to support them.

Soldiers are soldiers, so what's the matter with farming when there is no battle?

Before Wen Tianxiang and others recovered from this major decision, Zhao Dongting said again: "I also intend to implement the compulsory military system at the same time, that is, as long as the people in the Song Dynasty are over [-] years old, they can voluntarily apply for military service." A soldier is a soldier. The duty period is two years, and those who expire after two years can receive a pension and choose to go home, or continue to stay in the army, receive the imperial court's food and salary, and serve the imperial court. If they can accumulate military merits and become generals, when the time comes It is not impossible to be transferred to a local official. This matter, after I return to the palace, I will write down the detailed essentials immediately, and then I will make a conclusion with you."

It took Wen Tianxiang and others a while to recover.

Wen Tianxiang said: "What does your majesty mean, when recruiting the garrison from all over the place, we recruit in the form of... conscripts?"

"Correct."

Zhao Dongting nodded.

Lu Xiufu was a little anxious, "Your Majesty, isn't this putting too much pressure on the finance department?"

Now the burden of the finance department is already extremely heavy, it can be said that it has been squeezed to the limit, even Lu Xiufu can't help feeling sorry for Chen Jianghan.

Ever since Zhao Dongting's various new policies were implemented, Chen Jianghan was so busy that he didn't even have time to blink.

Zhao Dongting pondered slightly, and said: "When the local governments get on the right track, the financial situation should improve! In addition, I am also thinking about shipping recently, which should also relieve the pressure on the finance department. By the way, speaking of Regarding this matter, I still have one more thing I want to tell you adults. If I want to trade with overseas countries, I always need something that can be sold, such as silk, silver, jade, porcelain, etc. , is an excellent commodity. After the local government offices are in operation, both state-owned workshops and private workshops should be encouraged, and generous policies should be given to them so that they can develop at the fastest speed. In this way, our Great Song Dynasty can be Prosper as fast as you can."

Lu Xiufu's face turned bitter, "But your majesty, even if government offices are established in various places, there are not many people in each place!"

The Song-Yuan War involved too many people.

Lu Xiufu's words are not exaggerated at all. Many places, even like Wuzhou, have been reduced to dead cities.

If there is no one to win, what will the governments of various places use to develop?Who do you turn to for workshops?Who to ask for production?
When he said this, even Zhao Dongting felt a little headache.

He couldn't wait to develop Da Song, but had to face reality.For the Song Dynasty to develop, it must first have enough people, and if it wants to have enough people, it must take a long time.

After a while, Zhao Dongting gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is the case, we should first implement the policy of encouraging births in places where the people's livelihood is poor, so that the people can give birth vigorously and give birth to fat babies. Regardless of gender, the imperial court will reward them. "

"That money..."

Lu Xiufu hesitated to speak.

Things seem to be back to square one again, back to finances.

This seems to be a dead end.

No one, the economy cannot develop.And without money, it is difficult to develop people.

Unfortunately, now Da Song has neither of these.
