Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong - Chapter 372: Fighting against each other

But this does not mean that the Song Dynasty has established strong control over France.

After all, in the Song Dynasty’s own territory, there is a saying that imperial power does not extend to the countryside, let alone Western Europe, which is thousands of miles away from the Song Dynasty’s own territory.

therefore……

How to quickly digest and absorb such a large territory of Western Europe has become Han Shizhong's top priority.

Maybe he would not approve of the surrender of other nobles.

They would even fight against the Song Dynasty with one man and one city at a time.

These are all very possible.

Zhao Xin was actually also very troubled by this.

But as the saying goes, no reward without merit.

After all, that was the territory conquered by Han Shizhong and his soldiers.

It doesn't seem like a good idea for him to send people directly to occupy the place.

After some thought.

It just depends on which descendant of the Zhao family is willing to go.

at the same time……

Zhao Xin thinks that we can also try to attract some people to develop the American continent and the Australian continent.

But nowadays, these two places have hardly been developed.

Let’s put it this way!

The imperial edict stated that whoever was willing to develop the area would be allocated 500 acres of land by the court.

We also support some big families and big businessmen by contributing money and effort to invest and develop.

For example, paying money to buy African slaves and then using them to grow cotton requires greater initial investment.

This way you won’t be afraid of losing money.

This is an edict that can fully mobilize all the enthusiasm of the people.

As for what you said, in case they form warlord regimes outside.

of course!

because……

After arriving in America and Europe, Zhao Xin would certainly arrange for some of his descendants of the Zhao family to lead troops to manage the area and provide armed protection to the local people.

When Zhao Xin's idea reached the Song Dynasty.

The officials and businessmen of the Song Dynasty all went crazy.

The only pity is that these two places are too far away from the Song Dynasty.

Once you invest, basically, you may not see it once or twice a year.

There may not be much return within five years or even ten years.

of course!

In fact...

In places like this, it is good to support some of the descendants in your family and let them go out and try their luck.

Moreover, the technology of the Song Dynasty was also advancing with each passing day.

Now, steel battleships are already being planned and built.

The cargo capacity of the ship will only be larger, and it will be less afraid of wind and waves. If you waste it now, your family may decline in the future.

Because everyone else went and you were the only one who didn't, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?

In order to control the scale of this immigration, Zhao Xin also restricted the population during this outbound development.

The first batch.

Once the news spread throughout the Song Dynasty, everyone started discussing it.

"Brother Shi, what do you think about this? Is it possible to do it?" "Isn't this a trap?"

"After all, if there is really a benefit, can it be our turn?"

"I heard that both America and Australia are like wild lands, no different."

"But the government said that depending on the size of the company's investment, they will give us 10,000 to 50,000 acres of land!"

"Everyone knows how much money has been made overseas over the years."

“I really don’t want to let go of this opportunity.”

The one called the elder brother asked, "Who are you going to send? Are you going to go yourself? Or are you going to send your nephew?"

Someone on the side said: "That's not the case. At least, the land belongs to us."

"It's just a matter of seeing what can be grown locally and whether it can be transported back to the Song Dynasty for sale."

Zhao Xin also has arrangements for the ethnic groups on the grassland.

Because they can go to America or Australia to herd sheep.

Can't ship too much to them.

Every household would be happy if they had one or two horses for transportation.

Because if too many are transported over, there might be a rebellion at the end, and it would become a difficult problem to solve.

at the same time……

It can only be said that in the context of today's era, it can be transported, can make a slightly higher profit, and does not require too much attention to the shelf life.

Probably just growing cotton and shearing wool.

then……

This proposal was favored by many herdsmen on the grassland.

Some people also want to go to places like Western Xia and Tubo.

The Song Dynasty court sent people to make a statistics first.

Then arrange a large ship for transportation.

Of course!After sending the population out in this way, the tax revenue of the Song Dynasty will definitely decrease.

but……

In fact, this impact will not be very big.

Anyway...

After they leave, the imperial court will take back their original land and hand it over to the government to manage. However, due to the lack of manpower and labor for farming, the government will force the Academy of Sciences to innovate in agricultural technology.

Nowadays, many areas in the Song Dynasty have established state-run farms.

Using horses or steam engines to plow the land is nothing new.

Someone asked the court whether they could also get the same technical support when they went outside.

The answer is yes!only……

Then many people began to rush over.

Imagine having a machine that can harvest cotton and tens of thousands of acres of land.

Then you will be famous!

For a while...

There were also people who sold cotton themselves, and they immediately saw the crisis.

In order to fool them better, Zhao Xin even copied a song for them.

Hundreds of boats compete in the vast seaToday, the long rope is in my hand

The blueprint is bright and beautiful, and we will draw it together
