Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1225 Developing Ryukyu

Wang Xiu looked through the crowds of Xixi, vaguely saw a few young people in luxurious clothes, and couldn't help laughing: "That's not the second brother of the Fan family, oh, there is even Uncle Wu, they are also sitting in the open air, it seems It's kind of indecent, haha."

"It seems that gourmet food is quite attractive. It can be opened in the city as usual. The common people can enjoy the food nearby. Most of them will invite friends, bring their families with them, and increase the revenue of the court." Fei Su said with a smirk. He drew inferences from one instance and began to draw In the food streets in the city, the commercial tax far exceeds that of Nongsang, how much can a business bring?What about the entire Jiangyou counties?It makes people laugh just thinking about it.

Wang Xiu didn't care much about seeing the children of aristocratic families eat and drink, and it wasn't the era of Neo-Confucianism. This era was quite citizen-oriented. Except for the official trips of important officials, even if it was dignitaries who went out for fun, there was no reason for ordinary people to avoid them.

However, he knew that Zhao Roujia was here, and Fan Li didn't accompany the princess, but came to eat and drink with Wu Xuan and the others. The young couple seemed to have deep conflicts!However, Fei Su's words made him frown slightly, and said, "No."

"Oh, why not?" Fei Su was very puzzled.

"If you do too much, it won't be attractive." Wang Xiu didn't explain the reason, but just said something leisurely.

As expected of a seasoned veteran, Fei Su immediately understood, if you set up a food street in the city, what about the trade zone outside the city?Even if there is a fixed food street in the city, it will cause vicious competition. In the end, not only will it fail to develop, but it will also lead to unreasonable municipal planning, resulting in frequent administrative intervention and immeasurable consequences.

This is not impossible, but absolutely possible as long as it is done. The International Expo Trade Zone is a combination of wholesale markets or high-end shopping centers. In the city, you can run a business center integrating high-level commercial and catering, but you cannot forcefully plan blocks.

"However, with a little modification of your method, it can be implemented in Nancheng." Wang Xiu rolled her eyes, as if thinking of something.

When it comes to the south city, it is also the outer city, because with the increase in population, the commercial area outside the city has also greatly increased, and the imperial court decided to expand Jiangning to the south.

The original outer city was merged with the inner city, which was called the inner city. The city expanded to the south, extending the city wall for 25 miles from north to south, and [-] miles from east to west.Of course, the county seat in the urban area can no longer have one Jiangning County, but three counties of Xuanwu, Jiangning, and Shangyuan.

Adding a commercial center to the outer city would be a good idea, Fei Su thought about it, but said enthusiastically, "I hope the head of the mountain will give me advice."

"Not to mention, the setting of the outer city area, some small streets in the residential area, the government pays for the building of storefronts, and some local food and street food, which is convenient for the people to shop and live, and can also make up for the inconvenience of reaching the north of the city. "Wang Xiu brought out the idea of ​​a small food street.

Although there are restaurants and gourmet shops in the streets and alleys, it does not affect the planning of several small streets, and can also form complementary resources.

"The head of the mountain envisions a great good. In this way, a unified trade area will be formed in the north, and a scattered and characteristic business area will be formed in the south, so that the imperial court can earn a lot of money." Fei Su laughed.

"Sir, it's a good idea. It's just the six seeds brought back. I don't think the government will force it to promote it." Zong Liang's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of corn seed promotion, feeling that the government's promotion would do more harm than good.

"Nowadays, people's fields in various places grow rice, wheat, mulberry, and hemp. If the people are to be asked to plant a large amount of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, it may cause public resentment. Sir, do you remember that Emperor Zhenzong took [-] dendrobium of Champa rice seeds and ordered the people to replant them? So far, it has not been promoted in Jiangyou and Jinghu ministries, which is also the resistance of the people."

"In recent years, the imperial court's promotion of sugarcane planting has not achieved much. It is not because farmers are unwilling to plant sugarcane, but because of local officials."

Wang Xiu was immediately alerted that what Zong Liang said was very good, just like some technological applications, the effect is often promoted by businessmen, which is far higher than the implementation by the court, because businessmen will do their best to maximize their benefits, and naturally they will spare no effort to promote it. But it is impossible to do this. In order to save trouble, local officials often apportion the apportionment, and in order to earn political achievements as soon as possible, they also use administrative power to forcibly promote it, which arouses resistance.

Just like it is impossible to plant corn in the south, if you really let the government implement it, will the military states in the south be turned upside down?The same goes for sweet potatoes, which are sweet and delicious grown in the mountains. If you try them in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, it's no wonder the farmers don't work hard with you.

"Brother is right. I almost forgot about this. It shouldn't be carried out by the government. It must be handed over to the merchants."

"Sir, Liuqiu and Yazhou have a humid climate, so local residents can be encouraged to plant, and there is no need to force Jiangyou Fujian people to plant." Bo Zhang issued a suggestion.

Wang Xiu was embarrassed for a while, but she didn't see it for so many years, and suddenly said: "Okay! You're right! There are few natives in Liuqiu, and Fujian fishermen often come and go. You can let them take them and order Liuqiu to send them I believe that sea merchants will flock to it, and white sugar is very profitable, so it can be handed over to the Ministry of War and Si Nong Temple to make a fine payment."

Zong Liang glanced at Wang Xiu, and said: "The imperial court colonized the South China Sea and moved to Nanzhou, but Liuqiu had to be enriched. This place is different from the South China Sea. The refugees can migrate to the island in bad years and gradually replace the natives. Solve Xiang Jun's extravagant expenses."

Sure enough, three people must have my teacher, and they can discuss issues with contemporary elites. Wang Xiu believes that the harvest is huge. When the court encountered a famine, the refugees were young and strong, and they formed an army. Most of the refugees' problems were solved, and gradually formed a practice. It is only the number of troops The increase has increased, but the combat effectiveness has weakened. He has no good way, except to encourage overseas colonization, and still organize the refugees into the Xiang army.

However, there are not many refugees who are willing to go overseas. Some are willing to take risks, and some even live in their homes. The Xiang army is still very large, taking up a considerable amount of military expenditure, and cannot fight at all. .

Liuqiu, that is, Taiwan in later generations, is not small in size and not far from the mainland. There should be refugees who do not want to go to the South China Sea who are willing to go. It can resettle the victims and develop economic crops. A lot of people went there.

Yes, exterminating the local aborigines and replacing them with refugees, although the policy is very different from that of the South China Sea, it is also particularly cruel, but it is the best way to solve the problem. After three generations of the population, they will be Hakka residents, and they will have a strong centripetal force towards the local area. There will be disputes between the island and foreigners. No matter how the regime changes in the mainland, independence is unlikely. Three birds with one stone!

Oh, and there is also the issue of the Wa Kingdom in the north. This is a big problem. The economy is constantly invading. When the northern issue is completely resolved, the Wa Kingdom should be put on the agenda.
