The weather is normal in the winter of this year, and it will not work next year. The snow on the west three roads of Beijing and Tokyo did not fall. The court sent officials to ask for snow everywhere, but the doors were covered with heavy snow in Shaanxi and there were zombies on the road.

Before the meeting of the Fanhousing Conference was held, Zheng Lang rode his horse and took his guards through Jingyu Pass, came to Huangzhou, arrived at Lijing City, and had a meeting with Dong Jin. He scolded Dong Jin and comforted him while pacifying him. At this time, some Song troops had arrived in Qingtang City and sent him to various places. Dong Jin must be dissatisfied. Therefore, Zheng Lang once again promised to retain some of Dong Jin's rights and recognize that Dong Jin was the common dominant position of all the Fan people west of Hehuang and even Chiling, as well as the spirit of Dong Jin's original subordinates. He also talked about the Fanhou plan, which was originally one hundred and eight Dong Jin, but because of the recovery of Kangu West Envoy City and Lanzhou, it has now increased to 144 Fanhousing, and Dong Jin was the largest Fanhou.

In a sense, this Fanhou deprived the rights of the Hehuang leaders, just like Zhao Kuangyin releasing his military power with a cup of wine, but gave him the protection of wealth. However, it was looser than the rights of the cup of wine with a cup of wine. It was not like Shi Shouxin and they deprived them of all the rights, and they still retained some of the rights.

That is, Dong Wen will enjoy the resources and the wealth he brings, and also have more autonomy than other leaders, and at the same time enjoy the various benefits brought by the Fanhou Plan.

That's true, it cannot alleviate Dong Wu's resentment, it can only be said to be eased.

But after the Song Dynasty, it grasped the righteousness. Even if Dong Jiong was like that, there would not be many tribes following him, which made Dong Jiong lose the conditions for ambition.

Then he rode his horse to Guzhou, Xige City, the Song army and Xibawen attacked each other. As the Dong tribe surrendered, Zheng Lang agreed to let Xibawen return to Xige City, but Xige City still ruled with the Xige City and the Song Dynasty. Then he turned around and went to Taozhou and Minzhou, returned to Xizhou, went to Hezhou in the west, and returned to Lanzhou. He met envoys of various tribes along the way, but because of limited time, the journey was very hurrying.

Zheng Lang doesn’t have much time in the northwest. He has to go back after New Year’s Day, which is also a kind of protection for himself.

Staying in the northwest, he was in charge of the military, political and financial power of the entire Shaanxi Province. He had several great victories and was easily attacked by political enemies. However, returning to the court to serve as prime minister, he was not easy to gossip.

At the end of the winter month, the heads of various ethnic groups arrived in Lanzhou City one after another.

Some of what Fan Hou would say has been revealed. But most people don’t know everything.

Only then did Zheng Lang fully announce it.

There are a total of 144 Fan Housing. Because of the vast area of ​​Hetao Ximin, there are 72, and Huangzhou Dahe has 36, among which Dong Wen has a superior status. The Lankan area has 36, a little more, but Lanzhou is at the front line and needs to be comforted, so it is released.

The first is power. All ethnic groups have certain autonomy rights, but the power is controlled by the court, and all ethnic groups must obey the mobilization of Song Dynasty officials in each prefecture and county.

However, this mobilization was quite democratized. In order to prevent some officials from having bad phenomena, every major military, political and financial decision, the foreign emperors in each state must be collected. The court has half the veto power, and representatives of each race also have half the veto power. If the court decides that all the foreign emperors will not agree, then the local foreign emperors will be rejected. Of course, this possibility is very small. It is impossible for all foreign emperors to oppose the court, but if the officials act in anger, they may reject them all, and it will inevitably alarm the court's attention and affect the official's career. However, because the court occupies half of the veto power, the officials will not be too arrogant and make the foreign nations arrogant.

Each foreign emperor can also make some requests on behalf of each ethnic group. If the court officials disagree, as long as all the foreign emperors in each state agree to the request of the foreign emperor, they will force them to pass. This possibility is extremely small. Even if the court disagrees, there will be more than a dozen or twenty foreign emperors in each state, and it is impossible for all the foreign emperors to be enemies of the Song Dynasty.

In fact, these two rights are given to the various foreigners, mainly to reduce their disgust and supervise some bad officials so that the area will be safe for a long time.

The second is taxation, which is necessary. Since it is included in the management of the court, it is necessary to station troops, send officials, and even the court needs to provide support in the disaster year, and taxes must be collected. However, the tax is very light. Taxation is calculated based on the head, and each coin is levied 100 cents, or equivalent goods, and money and goods are allowed to be chosen by each ethnic group to avoid the exploitation of additional additional taxes such as discounts. This tax is far from enough for the court's expenses. Therefore, there is another thing: commercial tax belongs to the court's income, but the shops in each city are managed by each ethnic group, and even the court contributes to support it.

Although commercial tax deprived some tribes of their income, the next step to open up various roads and introduce many support policies will make Hehuang industry and commerce more prosperous and reduce part of its income, but it will increase more income from other aspects. Even if commercial tax is imposed, it may not be enough for the court to manage the future. In addition, for example, military farming and reducing the burden of military expenses, the court will also set up some supervisors to increase its income. Some township soldiers are levied from the local area to reduce military expenses, and try to keep the management expenses as even as possible.

There is no need to hide this, Zheng Lang explained the gains and losses one by one, and when Chi answered some people's questions.

Some people's eyes turned around, and Zheng Lang knew what they were thinking. The third one was for the strong men of all races.

All ethnic groups can conceal the number of ranks of each ethnic group. In fact, the tax on ranks is very light. On average, a household is less than two ranks, and the tax on ranks is less than two hundred ranks. However, the two taxes per household in the Song Dynasty almost reached two to three ranks, a total difference of more than ten times!

The number of cents not only determines the amount of tax collection, but also determines the amount of military service. Some people will inevitably conceal the tax evasion.

But it doesn't matter. The ranking of the seats of the Fanhou is based on the number of people in each department. The number of people in each department enjoys the right to be equal, as well as the various supervisory shares. That is, the more the number of people you have, the greater the rights, the more wealth you get. The amount of investment subsidies in the future of the imperial court will also make a decision based on the number of people in each department.

It can be concealed by Ding, and even Zheng Lang doesn't plan to send someone to account, he decides for himself.

When almost all the leaders smiled bitterly when they heard this.

The fourth article is the emergence of the Fanhou. The court announced support for some of the leaders who made meritorious service in this Hehuang Battle. There is no doubt about this. The remaining quotas for each state were assigned to allow all ethnic groups to elect themselves. Why did the Fanhou be produced mainly to appease the Hehuang tribes quickly return to their hearts. Otherwise, officials came to intervene directly, which would arouse some people's disgust. After the Fanhou was produced, the Fanhou would jointly manage the conflicts with the officials, and then the following measures would make the Hehuang truly incorporate into the Song Dynasty system.

This model will also be used in Xixia and Youyun in the future.

The Fanhou has the rights and enjoys the wealth brought by the court. Other leaders do not have official positions, but if they want to get more, they must have more numbers in their hands. In order to compromise and support each Fanhou, they will definitely share some of the interests to all ethnic groups. All ethnic groups will not be jealous.

This is left to all races to decide for themselves. Whether it is fair or not, it is a matter within each race, and the court will not intervene. It will not cause any trouble or controversy.

Many people smiled bitterly again.

Then there are military and military service, which is based on Qinzhou's policy, and is not favorable or severely deprived. For some internal conflicts, the Tubo ethnic groups used to swear to mediate and resolve them. The other was to fight by force, which was not allowed. The later stage of the Fan Housing Conference, grammar was established and could not be followed by the Song Dynasty's policies. Instead, all ethnic groups themselves issued negotiation grammar. When there were conflicts, officials from each state and the Fan Housing Office jointly dealt with this new grammar. They were not allowed to fight by force in private, otherwise all ethnic groups would send troops to attack them.

The grammar is left to all ethnic groups to establish themselves. According to the grammar, there is no force to fight, and the harm to the people of all ethnic groups is reduced. Almost everyone agrees with this article. Especially when I first wrote about the tribes of the Song Dynasty, I would drink it first after hearing this article.

However, it has somewhat deprived all ethnic groups of their rights. Therefore, there are subsidies next.

This year is no longer possible. When the drought is over, the court will divide it into three years and spend more than 30 million yuan of money. It will not be used to distribute the money to Hehuang and Lanzhou. Instead, it is used to build roads, open roads, and build water conservancy. Hehuang planting mainly uses developed water systems to plant and grazle between river valleys. There is a lack of developed water conservancy. In the future, the court will dig some rivers and canals and use some low-lying swamps to divert water into reservoirs to further prosper the irrigation system of Hehuang and benefit the people. At the same time, planting trees and afforestation is a matter of great interest to all ethnic groups in Tubo. Now, some water and soil deterioration have occurred, including Hehuang. There are also schools and cities that are not only used for military purposes, but also as commercial transaction locations.

The leaders of all ethnic groups cannot share this money, but it will benefit the people of all ethnic groups.

This time, nearly 40,000 Xixia prisoners of war were seized. They would not be released or killed. They were used as labor to save costs.

Next is the interests of the leaders of each race. The court will take out a portion of the shares of the various profitable prisons, maintain a profit of more than one million yuan per year, and distribute it to each family. Even the principal is provided by the court, but the shares of the shares are not allowed to be transferred. Instead, as a whole, it will be redistributed every fifty years based on the performance of each race and the number of people. This is not a small number. The court pays less than one million yuan per year to the Khitan every year. Although there are many leaders of each race, they will be divided up.

It is a considerable number. Not only that, the court will moderately take out part of the share deeds to the leaders of each race in the future. The principal must be responsible for each race and has the right to transfer. This is also a matter of this, and the leader is salivating. For example, the banking supervisor, the principal required for each share is 80,000 yuan, but when the market value of the bank reaches 200,000 yuan, it will be 120,000 yuan. However, when it is absolutely impossible, no one will change the transaction. The bank has a price, but there are many prices but no market.

At the same time, each foreign marquis has a marquis of the court. The meritorious foreign marquis will receive officials from the court and enjoy the salaries of the officials of the court. However, there is a bottom line that it must not violate the above rules, nor must it be rebelled, otherwise it will be forcibly disqualified. In addition, if there is less than 5,000 meter in the future, it will be automatically disqualified, which is to prevent some foreign marquis from acting in a rebellious manner and suppressing the people of all races. It is a move to benefit the Tubo people, and the court did not benefit from it.

When most people heard the last one, they became excited.

That is, if the Song Dynasty obtained Hehuang and made huge sacrifices, they would pay the price more. They would pay the price more now and continue to pay the price more in the future.

Only a few people had a helpless expression flashed in their eyes. The Song Dynasty showed enough sincerity. However, since then, all ethnic groups were truly tied to the same chariot with the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty would easily gain the initiative in the management of Hehuang, and all ethnic groups would sink forever from then on.

Those who have ideas will think this way, but for most tribes, they are not very powerful and agree with this.

In fact, when Zheng Lang proposed this plan of the Fanhou, several prime ministers in the court were not very happy. After all, the court still had a lot of burdens, and this plan of the Fanhou increased the economic pressure of the court. Not to mention how much money it would take to recover the Western Xia in the future.

Zheng Lang only said two things. The first one was to underestimate the commercial tax. The Song Dynasty was interrupted by the Hexi Corridor and communication with the West became the Maritime Silk Road. After the Hehuang period was settled, no matter whether the Hexi Corridor could be obtained, the land Silk Road would be opened. If the road was renovated, the traffic difficulties would be reduced, all ethnic groups would be peaceful, and bandits and thieves would be reduced. This Silk Road would bring many benefits. Moreover, the fur and livestock produced in Tubo were also needed by the Song Dynasty.

The second is war horses and cavalry. If you cannot get peace with Hehuang, the court must station a large number of soldiers, and there will be war, which will become a burden for the Song Dynasty. The gain will not be worth the loss. But the court will make some efforts. Then it will easily make peace with Hehuang, get a large number of war horses and cavalry, and cannot underestimate the Tubo tyrant cavalry, mainly because of the looseness of all races. Once they are organized, in the high and cold land, no clan can match their combat effectiveness except for the Jurchens. At least when the Western Xia is recovered, a large number of fierce foreign soldiers will be obtained. In fact, it is equivalent to secretly reducing military expenditures. Tubo is peaceful.

The Liugu tribe of Liangzhou will be even more willing to return, including the Uighurs in Ganzhou. They were not very evil with the Tubo people in the past. The court could easily take over the Ganliang and Liangzhou in the future and directly cut off the left arm of Xixia. It will take at least two hundred years to develop thermal weapons to replace cold weapons. During this period, the court wanted to be strong. It must have a powerful elite cavalry, if they want to have cavalry, horses, and horses, and a place to graz. There are too few pasture resources on the edge of the border. If they are placed in the Central Plains to develop pastoral prisons, they cannot raise horses well. Therefore, Hehuang will be very important.

There is another advantageous place in Hehuang, that is, to the west of Chiling. It is not very suitable for living and the population decreases. The Tubo ethnic groups on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are divided, and no powerful force supports their rebellion in the rear. As long as the policy makes Hehuang peaceful, Hehuang will truly become the territory of the Song Dynasty, and even the ethnic groups west of Chiling will be convinced by the Song Dynasty. However, Zheng Lang is not very interested in the west of Chiling. It is too far away and the management cost is too high. Although it is awesome to expand the territory, Zheng Lang focuses more on practical things.

The court finally agreed to Zheng Lang's plan for Fanhou.

After talking about all the plans of the Fanhou, Zheng Lang answered everyone's questions, and then he opened a stone tablet in the central square of Lanzhou City. On the stone tablet are eight big words written by Zhao Xuyu: respect, mutual assistance, friendship, and win-win!

It should be said that the Song Dynasty had the intention this time. Seeing these eight golden words, all the leaders bowed down together and shouted long live the mountain.

Only then did Zheng Lang discuss grammar with the leaders.

After the establishment of the grammar, the leaders of various races dispersed and negotiated the waiting list. There were many disputes. It was not until the end of the year that the list was released. Zheng Lang handed over Hehuang to Fan Chunren and returned to the stable. Before him, Zhang Ju transferred to the stable first to serve as the chief censor, or to protect him, so that Zhang Ju would be covered with the identity of a real scholar-official. As for Wang Shao, he continued to wander in Qingzhou and Weizhou, which shocked the people of Xixia.

...

In the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Yuanfeng.

Kaifeng City is a warm winter, but the weather has been very abnormal in recent years. Some places are warm winter and some places are severely cold. In fact, after this period, the Song Dynasty will usher in a small ice age. The direct change is to affect the harvest in the north, and the indirect changes lead to the rise of the Jurchens and the Yuan Meng.

But before the cold winter came, the Song Dynasty became more and more prosperous.

As Zheng Lang agreed, the court invested 37 million yuan in Hehuang Lanzhou and carried out infrastructure construction. Even because the ethnic groups west of Chiling were convinced by the Song Dynasty, they built two avenues in north and south of Qinghai Lake, one from Haibei to Caotou Tatar to Shazhou, and the other from Hainan to Dafeichuan to Huangtou Uighurs to southeast of Shazhou. A sanitary forest with a width of 100 to 200 meters was planted on both sides of the road. The official also established some supervisors, one for profit and the other for inspiration.

The Jurchens, Tubo people, and Yuanmeng people were very fierce when fighting, one was the weather and the other was poverty. As long as life was guaranteed, even if the Jurchens were born, they were unwilling to rebel. At the same time, they vigorously promoted many new varieties of forage, which gave the people of Hehuang a stable living income, and reduced the nomadic people in Hehuang, which was conducive to management. During this period, the Xixia people also used a spy plan, but none of them succeeded. Including the rebellious tribe, with the cooperation of all ethnic groups, they were quickly annihilated.

Not only that, the court allocated 15 million yuan to buy many saplings from Japan. Some people did not understand this, but most ministers agreed. Because of the governance of Shaanxi, the turbidity and sand content of the rivers showed a slight decline. When these saplings were bought, they were mainly planted in Beijing to protect the water and soil in the north, and the north was the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

However, they all ignored one thing. The Song Dynasty bought timber and saplings from Japan in a large manner. Although it allowed the Japanese economy to prosper for a short period of time, what would happen in the future?

Zheng Lang deliberately cared about this, but he didn't know the specifics, but the news from anti-radium said that the phenomenon of mountain torrents and hail in many areas of Japan was increasing, and some coastal mountain monuments became barren mountains. Zheng Lang smiled knowingly after hearing this, and this was the real erasing! As long as this policy continues to be implemented, in just 50 years, half of the Japanese islands may become barren land.

There are also banks that are facing expansion of shares, which is a need for economic prosperity and a commitment to Tubo. A total of 20% of the shares were invested, including some restricted states, and also attempted to establish banks, including Hehuang prefectures, and some larger counties, which also set up banks.

The Liang family in the Western Xia revolted over and over again. Like the later Japanese countries, they found benefits and sent envoys to discuss peace. When they got benefits, they immediately turned against each other. The repetition of Liang finally angered more scholars and officials. Of course, Liang was not willing to accept it. She wanted Lanzhou, Kangu, Suizhou, and Xicheng. Could the Song Dynasty agree? She came to cry and beg for the time, and then sent troops to invade. However, each invasion was mostly defeated and won less, and she returned without success. The relationship between the two countries was as deteriorating as Zheng Lang wished.

In order to prevent fierce wars in the northwest, the imperial court allocated 30 million yuan from last year to this year and prepared a large amount of food, grass and supplies in the northwest. The name was to prepare for war, but only a few people knew about it. At the same time, they also paid back 120 million yuan of debts.

But he still has debts. After so many years, the interest rate is quite considerable. A total of more than 80 million yuan of debts have not been repaid. Since Zheng Lang took office in the first year of Xining, he returned home to mourn for one year because of Qi Niang's death. He was executed for eleven years, but he has not yet paid it back. However, no one used this matter to attack him. During the twelve years of the court, not only did he get Hehuang Lanzhou, but the lives of the people across the country have indeed improved. In military terms, as Zheng Lang said, at least he no longer worry about war horses.

Even the two taxes were levied more and more lighter. The imperial court counted the area of ​​arable land that reached more than 700 million acres, more than twice the amount during the Qing Di period. The two taxes fell from the peak of more than 50 million, and since the disaster, they became 40 million. The burden on farmers was gradually decreasing.

It is these political achievements that make opponents impeccable. Zheng Lang's policies have also been recognized by more scholars and officials.

New Year's Day is approaching, and Zheng Lang suddenly received a piece of information from the Secretariat. He sent a message from Guangzhou. He went to the American continent and returned a fleet and arrived in Guangzhou.
Chapter completed!
