I studied in modern times

Chapter 52 Major Situation Notice!Very important!Readers please come in and have a look!
Notification of major situation:

Major situation!Major situation!Readers, please take a look!
The first thing I want to say is: I implore all readers, you must follow up in the near future!
This matter is very important!Very important!
It's about grades, and it's about a lot of things!
Then, take this opportunity to communicate with readers.

In fact, I have always liked the Han Dynasty and Song Dynasty very much.

Because of the Han Dynasty, Wude was abundant, and he did it if he refused to accept it.

In the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, no one was afraid of others.

What about the Song Dynasty?
It is said on the Internet that he is a big coward, the five scum of war, an expert in civil war, and an amateur in foreign war.

Especially things like old coins, people really don't have any good impressions.

But on the other hand, the prosperity of Song Dynasty culture, the development of the commodity economy, and the development of the citizen economy are all people yearn for.

Especially the more I understand the society of the Song Dynasty, the more I understand the details behind those major historical events, the more curious I am, why did the Song Dynasty become such a coward?
Theoretically, the national strength is strong, the economy is developed, and technically it crushes competitors.

In addition, the scholar-bureaucrats and ministers are actually not bad, and their ambitions are also very high.

Then why did Da Song become a big counselor?
When I started to understand the Tanyuan Alliance, the increase of coins in Qingli, and the cessation of land by Xining.

I just slowly understood.

A raging soldier, and a raging nest.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?
In the Tanyuan alliance, Kou Zhun tried his best to hold Zhenzong back.

When the coins were increased in Qingli, Fu Bi tried his best to prevent the Liao people's lions from opening their mouths.

Wang Anshi thought it a great shame for Xining to cede the land!And finally because of this and other things, he resigned angrily.

Since the second prime minister was dismissed, Wang Anshi did not care about government affairs, but only raised flowers and grass.

Because I am so disappointed!

However, those emperors in the Northern Song Dynasty were really all useless softies?

Zhenzong, although he made a lot of jokes, is indeed a softie.

However, during the Zhenzong period, economic and social constraints were further lifted, and at the same time, Zhenla rice was introduced, and the south began to develop greatly.

In the Renzong era, in order to deal with Xixia, military expenditures were greatly increased, which also greatly increased the burden on the people.

But as soon as the war stopped, Renzong immediately started to cut expenses and reduce the burden. The most important thing is that he did it-think about the example of taxation in other dynasties, which cannot be reduced after being increased.

This point is really amazing!

Yingzong's reign was too short, but it was during his reign that the foundation for subsequent reforms was laid.

As for Shenzong?

Many people commented on Zhida's lack of talent, and many people thought that it was his micromanagement that caused the failure of Wulu Xiaxia and the defeat of Yongle City.

It was because of his timidity that Xi Ning ceded the land.

But it was also during the reign of Shenzong, although he fought again and again.

But Wang Anshi and Shenzong teamed up to have fun.

The number of Imperial Army and Xiang Army in the Northern Song Dynasty was cut by one-third and half respectively in Xining.

Even in the Yuanfeng era, the number of forbidden troops was greatly reduced compared to the Zhiping era!The Xiang army was reduced to more than 20.

This requires great courage and political determination.

In addition, the entire Xining era was the lowest point of peasant uprisings in the Northern Song Dynasty, and peasant uprisings and riots rarely occurred.

The most important thing is that many people don’t know that it was during the Shenzong era that Zhang Dun was appointed to open up Hunan, and Kumamoto and Wang Guangzu were appointed to govern Luzhou, which greatly promoted national unity and greatly developed the territory of the Central Plains that had been in name for thousands of years.

In addition, Shenzong paid special attention to technology and engineering.

During his reign, he led the Luotong Bian project, which increased the amount of water transport in the Northern Song Dynasty by 100 million shi. At the same time, he also dredged the Bian River, which greatly reduced the amount of sediment in the Yellow River section of the Bian River!
In addition, many advanced engineering technologies were used to rebuild Bianjing City.

For example, wheel soil machines, earth-moving vehicles and so on.

In the Shenzong era, the development trend of science and technology in the Northern Song Dynasty can be described as changing with each passing day.

Shenzong even paid attention to the development of gunpowder, and issued edicts many times, especially giving gunpowder weapons to the frontline for trial use.

For example, during the battle of Dingxi City, Shenzong issued an edict to bestow firearms.

But he likes micromanagement, so he stipulates how to use it...

Probably, like a similar - machine guns move 30 meters.

In the Shenzong era, the manufacture of firearms formed a huge scale.

According to historical records, the Military Weapons Supervision Department in Bianjing produces tens of thousands of rockets a year, in addition to tens of thousands of fire thorns, leather cannons and the like.

In addition, starting from Emperor Taizong, the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty all had some special concern for the private property of the citizens of Bianjing.

For example, they will be particularly concerned, what if the government expands and the houses of the people are demolished?Therefore, once such a thing happens, an edict will be issued to compensate.

As a result, a strange picture appeared in the history books.

The common people built their houses down to the foot of the imperial city!
It directly blocked the passage of the emperor's imperial guards patrolling, and even hindered the emperor's travel.

Faced with this situation, what should the emperor do?
The answer is: Although Renzong ordered the demolition of the residential buildings under the imperial city, he still gave money compensation, and it is likely that the demolition was not forced.

In a similar situation, during the Yuanfeng period, the imperial city was rebuilt again, which shows that the people in Bianjing City are not afraid of the emperor at all—of course, the people here are not just ordinary people.

But it's still shocking!

It is impossible for other dynasties to have such violations under the eyes of the emperor Laozi.

In addition, it is recorded in the history books that every morning, there will be a morning market under the Xuande Gate.

Officials can buy breakfast from small vendors at the gate of the imperial city.

The style of breakfast is extremely rich.

Fujian people can eat the taste from their hometown in Bianjing!

The fact is that until Huizong's great wisdom came to power, there were countless private snack bars and itinerant vendors on the imperial streets of Bianjing.

In addition, every year, the emperor would go to the Xuande Gate to have fun with the people, and would allow some people to watch the same performance as the emperor.

At the same time, in all cities in the Northern Song Dynasty, the curfew system no longer existed.

Night market and Wazili entertainment, all night long.

There are so many oil lamps on Maxing Street in Bianjing, so there are no mosquitos in summer!
At the same time, in the private notes of Su Song and others, it is recorded that in Bianjing City, there have been franchised streets that specialize in a certain kind of business similar to our cities today.

Even the whole street is engaged in a business!
At that time, the common people could rely on these businesses or handicrafts to maintain their family's food and dignity.

For example, Su Song’s grandson, Su Xiang, recalled that when his grandfather Su Song was in Bianjing, he curiously asked the servant girl he employed, what does your family do for a living?

Answer: Pounding stone lotus.

Su Song was startled, pounding the stone lotus?Can it also feed people?
The little maid told him that all ten members of her family do this, and that they can get enough food and clothing. In addition, not only her family, dozens of people in the whole alley where her family lives live by beating stone lotus.

The pounded lotus meat will be bought by the fruit shop on the spot.

In one year, the people in the alley, as long as they are busy with Shi Lianji for two months, can earn enough money to live for half a year.

Therefore, the common people have spare money to go to Wazili for entertainment.Go to the night market for consumption.

In addition to these, what shocked me the most was that during the Shenzong era, Bianjing was built or rivers were built.

He doesn't go whoring for nothing!

It's all about money, in the form of employment!
So, I began to think, was there any emperor in the Northern Song Dynasty who was wise and decisive, not afraid of trouble, and at the same time didn't like micromanagement?

The answer is yes!

Just died too early.

Song Zhezong!
Before the age of 24, he died young.

Although he was the emperor for 15 years, it took him seven years to truly govern himself.

But in the past seven years, drastic reforms have been carried out, and the attacks and oppression have been taken leisurely.

Pushing Xixia to the brink of destroying the country also made the Liao people cry out for danger.

It is a pity that such a king, who was rare in the Northern Song Dynasty, had enough wrist and enough determination, died young when he was less than 24 years old.

So, I thought, can I write about him?

At first, I wanted to write about a scholar or small military officer in Zhezong's era.

Starting from Yuanyou, jump left and right, slowly climb up, and then...

But when I thought about it later, it was unrealistic, and to be honest, it was difficult to shake the powerful scholar-bureaucrat group at that time-one person, even if he cheated, could not fight against the whole world!

Unless, this person is the emperor!
So, I changed my mind.

What I thought at first was Zhe Zong who traveled through time and passed away.

Later, it was denied, and then I had an idea, can it be reversed?
So, there was the idea for this book.

Having said so much, there is a lot of long-winded words.

In fact, what I really want to say is: Please, readers, masters, please do your best to follow up.

This data is extremely extremely important to the future of this book!

I implore all readers, move your fingers!
Well, let's talk about the book of the saint again.

I don't really want to mention it.

Mainly because I am stupid!
Cultivate well, don't write well, touch those things.

And once touched, nothing can be changed.

Under the foundation that the framework has already set, if the flesh and blood are dug out, only the skin will remain.

Coupled with my own body, it is also a hindrance.

So after writing, on the one hand, policy reasons make me very depressed, I don't know what to write?It is also very painful physically, and the double factors are superimposed, and it can only be ended in a hurry.

I'm so sorry!

So far, he has no face to face Jiangdong's elders!
After learning from the pain, I have also learned enough lessons.

With this book, I will never be stupid enough to touch those things again.

Just write about a poisonous vegetable emperor in the feudal era.

A power-hungry, lustful political machine that is at the same time calm and rational.

He has little moral burden and is not bound by the Confucian ethical code.

At the same time, he is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and on the surface he looks like an emperor like Renzong.

This is a suture monster that combines the heirs of modern science and the emperor of feudal poisonous vegetables.

The above is nonsense, I don't know what it means, let readers worry about it!
Finally, at the end, 360 degrees of lying on the ground, naked in the ice and snow, please read it!

Really really important!Very important!
