After Sheng Changbai became prime minister, the first thing he had to do was to build a defense line in northern Xinjiang.

Doing these things is mainly for the consideration of future generations. Those who do not plan for the future are not enough to plan for one life.

At present, the Great Zhou Dynasty has made great efforts to govern, its national power is at its peak, and it has been revived.

The Liao government was corrupt, domestic civil strife continued, and the situation was chaotic.

In fact, it is already a situation where the enemy is weak and we are strong. In fact, there is no need for a defensive line. Just relying on basic terrain and natural dangers is enough to defend the north.

But just because you don’t need it now doesn’t mean you won’t need it in the future.

The grassland nomads have always had their ups and downs. There are always races that decline, and there are always races that rise.

But no matter which tribe rose up, the grassland peoples who became stronger all coveted the fertile land of the Central Plains.

Like Qin Shihuang, he built the Great Wall and built a defense line in northern Xinjiang to resist the invasion of nomadic tribes in the Central Plains.

This is the solution that can truly lead to long-term peace and stability.

Now, if Zhou bullies the declining Khitan, it will not solve the border troubles.

It will only create a better environment for the rise of other grassland peoples.

Suppressing the Khitan and forcing the Khitan to develop northward.Let the Khitan exploit other ethnic groups on the grassland.

The North may be able to live in peace for a longer period of time.

Dazhou can continue the Northern Expedition and indeed has the strength to occupy the grasslands further north, Monan and Mobei.

It may be difficult to destroy the Khitan nation, but it is not difficult to drive the Khitan several hundred miles north.

However, the Zhou Dynasty, dominated by Han people, did not actually have the ability to occupy the grasslands.

For the farming people, grassland only means barren and unsuitable for farming.

In the labor expedition, the logistics line was too long, it cost a lot to occupy the grasslands, and there was no ability to develop them, so they could not get the benefits they deserved.

Although the country is large, it is better to be warlike than to perish.

The attacks on Xixia and the Liao Kingdom were actually aimed at reducing the financial burden of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

That's why Sheng Changbai supports a war without interests. Don't say that Sheng Changbai doesn't support it.

Manchaotang only wanted to be on par with the emperors of Tang Zong and Hanwu. For the sake of reputation, they had the idea of ​​​​exploring, but they were not firm.

It is necessary to immigrate to the border, build roads and build cities, and station troops to garrison.

Farming peoples have no production capacity on the grasslands.

If you want to control the grasslands, you have to rely on blood transfusions from the Central Plains. Any measures will come at a high price.

Even if Sheng Changbai knew that the grassland had many resources,
Not only cattle, sheep and herbs, but also a lot of energy and mineral resources.

It's useless because of limited productivity.

The mineral resources in the Great Zhou Dynasty are scarce except for gold, silver and copper that can be used as currency.

Other resources are actually completely sufficient for the imperial court.

There is coal and iron on the grassland, and there are indeed some mines that are easy to mine.

But considering the transportation issue, the cost is no better than the minerals in Dazhou.

After solving the border troubles in the northwest and northern Xinjiang, the only place that was not peaceful in the Great Zhou Dynasty was the south.

Countries such as Jiaozhi in the south have never been a big threat to the Central Plains regime.

Some countries that are developing well will jump out and try to compare themselves with China.

But often the Central Plains regime only needs to send out a partial division to beat the southern countries to a bloody head.

Kneel down and pray for surrender, and every time you send troops to the southern border, you can ensure peace in the southern border for decades.

The Great Zhou Dynasty still had no interest in occupying the southern barbarian lands.

The climate of the tropical rainforest is still not suitable for Han people to survive.

Dazhou could not even develop its own territory in Lingnan, and was completely unable to occupy Jiaozhi and other places further south.

Officials were unwilling to even go to Lingnan, which allowed Lingnan to develop into a centralized place for demoted officials and exiles during the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Further south, no officials from the Great Zhou Dynasty were willing to go to the Huawai land.

Neither officials nor the people are willing to go, so there is no actual control.

If you want to expand your territory, you still have to do it step by step.

Opening up territory and expanding territory is a long-term matter. It is not just a matter of conquering and occupying territory and doing everything OK.

All represent huge investments in the later period. Now the Great Zhou Dynasty has occupied the nearby sacred land and has no motivation to expand outward.

There is no reason why you have to plant other people’s wasteland when you haven’t finished planting your own good land.

From now on, Sheng Changbai's main focus as prime minister will still be to develop domestic affairs.

In fact, they are the six departments that manage the court.

The official department is the most important part of the imperial court. People are the source of everything. No matter what happens, people do it.

Establish a more stringent supervision system. Supervisors should be deployed not only at the county level, but at least at the state level. Sheng Changbai wanted to set up a modern discipline system. Considering that there were only a few local officials, it was too unrealistic. Give up.

The second ranked among the six departments is the Household Department.

In addition to managing household registration, the Ministry of Household Affairs' main task is actually finance. Finance is about increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

To further solve the redundant staff in Da Zhou, we used to deal with the redundant staff in other companies.

What needs to be solved now is the redundant staff of the Zhao family. There are too many people in the Zhao family who have not contributed to the country and are still eating at the national finances.

You don't need to think about it, you also know that with the stability of the country, the population of the old Zhao family will explode again.

There is no foreign race to help the old Zhao family solve the problem of overpopulation, so Da Zhou can only solve it himself.

On the one hand, it is to reduce the shadow of relatives, and on the other hand, it is to allow the children and grandchildren of the old Zhao family to make a living on their own without being supported by the state's finances.

Relax restrictions on the Zhao family's descendants from engaging in politics and business.

Some of the Zhao family are unwilling to do this, and some are willing.

The closer one is to the emperor by blood, the richer the reward will be, and the more reluctant one is to leave the country's finances.

The further away from the blood relationship with the emperor, the fewer the rewards. Some of them are not enough to support the family, and their livelihood is restricted, and they hope to be free.

After the decision is made, except for special circumstances, it is basically within the emperor's fifth service, and he can enjoy financial support.

The number of people is considered to be within control.

In terms of open source, Sheng Changbai still focused on sea trade, plundering resources from other countries to support the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As we all know, there is an island country to the east of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The country is small and the people are weak, but it has the most silver mines in Yinshan.

Sheng Changbai also sent ships and troops to sea to support the civil strife on the island.

Seize the island country's gold and silver through military, trade, arms, and various means.

Then there is the Ministry of Rites. In terms of etiquette, it is not easy to change too much. This is a weapon for civil servants to limit imperial power.

What can be reformed is the imperial examination, which is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. It goes without saying that science and education promote education and education.

Sheng Changbai also included his own personal belongings and continued to increase the proportion of mathematics and physics in the imperial examination.

Plant a scientific seed for Dazhou.

The fourth military department, starting from the time when the Zhou Dynasty has no border troubles, the army of the Zhou Dynasty can shift from quantity to quality.

Follow the route of elite troops, improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and reduce military expenditures.

Vigorously develop the militia system with minimal cost, and use the militia and rural warriors to maintain local security.

The fifth is the Ministry of Punishment.

Da Zhou's justice was actually implemented quite well.

Various laws and regulations and various criminal investigation methods are actually a lot of progress compared to the previous dynasty.

However, Sheng Changbai still supported the revision of the new laws, checked for omissions and filled the gaps, eliminated the bad and retained the good, and helped Zhou revise a more perfect law.

Vigorously carry out legal education among the people to reduce private crime cases.

The last one is the Ministry of Industry.

There are so many things that the Ministry of Industry can do. During Sheng Changbai's tenure, the royal family built relatively few gardens and palaces.The main thing is to build roads across the country. It is definitely not possible to connect every village like modern times.

But we should also try our best to repair it within the scope of possible.

For example, it is difficult to build the road leading to Bashu. The construction level of Dazhou is really not up to par, so there is really no way.

Build irrigation water conservancy projects to irrigate as much farmland as possible.

Building border defenses and dredging canals, after Sheng Changbai came to power, he still paid more attention to the Ministry of Industry and infrastructure than his previous predecessors.

Between the ages of 37 and 50, Sheng Changbai served as prime minister for ten years.

Sheng Changbai is more shameless than Han Zhang, and he is more shameless and domineering.

Don't give others a chance and provoke too many political enemies for yourself.

The Sheng family also wants to be passed on for a long time above the court.

Before the child has even entered the official career, there are a group of high-ranking officials who are displeased and jealous, which can be regarded as a trick for the child.

When the court was stable, Sheng Changbai also invited himself to serve in positions.

In the first few years, he presided over the construction of the northern defense line in northern Xinjiang.

In the next few years, he felt that his reign was too long, so he ran to the south again and presided over the Kaihai of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He even took a boat trip to various countries in Southeast Asia.

Then when the emperor died and the new emperor came to power, Sheng Changbai took advantage of the situation to retire and returned to his hometown in Youyang.

It is somewhat of a pity that most of the emperors of the Zhao family did not live long.

This family only inherited mental illness, not any longevity gene.

Sheng Changbai thought the emperor was good and extended Miao Shujuan's life for ten years, but the emperor did not live to be 50 years old.

The things that should be done have been almost done, and I don't want to be a powerful minister after the young emperor comes to power.

There is really no way that a little kid under twenty can compare with the prestige of Sheng Changbai, a prime minister who has made great achievements in opening up new territories and has been in charge of the world for ten years.

As long as Sheng Changbai is still in the court, he will be more useful than the emperor's words.

In order for the new emperor to be trained early, Sheng Changbai retired early.

After returning to Youyang's hometown, I haven't decided how to live my old age.

Just when he was thinking about designing a large manor to live in, Sheng Changbai's soul returned to the underworld.

It can be said that just when Sheng Changbai was about to enjoy the decadent life of the feudal era, the world suddenly ended.

"Congratulations to the host for completing "Do you know, do you know, it should be green, fat, red and thin." 』

"Main Mission: Cultivate oneself, harmonize one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."

"Mission Completion: 85%"

"Mission reward: a mission deletion card and a world shuttle card for ten years."

"Story influence: 78%"

"Evaluation: Good"

"Reward: Silver talent draw once."

"Side mission: Keep 'Sheng Xiaoqi'"

"Task evaluation: completed."

"Task reward: an identity upgrade card."

This mission in the world of "Do You Know" is actually quite difficult.

It can be regarded as the biggest mission Sheng Changbai has ever done. It involves cultivating oneself, harmonizing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. It involves all aspects.

It also took Sheng Changbai decades to achieve a good degree of completion.

The rewards you get are also good, sorting out the information coming from your mind.

Sheng Changbai also knew what the purpose of this task was to delete the card.

It is the main mission released by the system. If Sheng Changbai cannot complete it or does not want to complete it, he can delete it and return directly to the mission world.

This avoided the possibility of Sheng Changbai being trapped in a world and dying.

It is still very valuable, and the world shuttle card is an old thing.

You can go back to the world you traveled through and continue living for ten years.

Then Sheng Changbai also completed this new side mission.

Until the end of the world of "Do You Know", Sheng Xiaoqi was living well.

And he lived a pretty good life. He got Jinshi and got a wife.

After seeking Sheng Hong's consent, he picked up his own mother and went out to live separately.

It is also beneficial for children not to pay attention to them from their fathers.

As a concubine, Sheng Hong refused to allow Sheng Laosan to move out of the Sheng family.

Therefore, as long as Sheng Laosan was not serving as an official in other places, he would always live with Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai.

And because he was admitted late in Shenglaosan Middle School and his talents were not outstanding, it was obvious that he had no great political future.

So Sheng Hong didn't have big expectations for Sheng Laosan.

Sheng Laosan won the imperial examination and served as an official for a year.

Sheng Hong asked Sheng Changbai to transfer Sheng Laosan back to Bianliang and arrange an idle period for Sheng Laosan to hang out.

According to Sheng Hong, Sheng Changbai had too many official duties and had no time to be filial to his parents.

Opening the back door for Sheng Laosan is not just for Sheng Laosan.

It was Sheng Laosan who was helping Sheng Changbai, the eldest son, to fulfill his filial piety in front of his parents.

Sheng Changbai also knew the function of this identity upgrade card.

It is used in the mission world. After using it, Sheng Changbai's initial identity in time travel may be higher.

Probably someone who was born into a poor family will be born into a wealthy family after using it.

It was originally supposed to be a minor supporting role in an aristocratic family, but after using it, it might become the protagonist of the world.

The protagonist of the world must be useful. After all, he is the protagonist, and he has bad luck.

Just like Gu Tingye in "Do You Know", he had already been stepped into the quagmire.

Later, it was still luck, and Xianyu turned around.

Not to mention what happened before, Sheng Changbai helped Zhao Zongquan ascend to the throne, Xianyu turned around, succeeded Ning Yuanhou, and became a military giant.

Even in the following decades, Gu Tingye continued to have bad luck.

Every time Dazhou used troops abroad, Gu Tingye was the iron-clad coach.

Whether it was Sheng Changbai opening up the river bank or destroying Xia Pingliao.

Gu Tingye also participated, and they were all No. 1 military generals.

Sheng Changbai did everything, and Gu Tingye didn't do anything special.

Just because he can be trusted by the emperor.

After hanging around with the army, he became a famous general in the world.

Not only did it shock the Great Zhou Dynasty, it could be said that it directly shocked all the foreign barbarians on all sides of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, among the countless generals, Gu Tingye was suddenly ranked among the top five.

After Gu Tingye dies, it will definitely be indispensable for him to enjoy the Ancestral Temple and be passed down independently.

Not to mention all the splendor and splendor during one's lifetime, all the sorrow and glory are mixed up after death.

Of course, now is not the time to think about how to use the card.

After living in the feudal era for decades, Sheng Changbai still wants to return to the technological era and enjoy modern life. (End of chapter)
