“A Chuangzi for 600 acres?”Isn't that too much?"

The official frowned, as if it were a little fleshy pain.

A Chuangzi that's the starting price!At present, the upper limit of 16 Grangesteads held by the Western Song military attaché, and if these farms are awarded in the Ili Valley, it is 9,600 mu.

The Mongolian head looks easy to cut, is the land of the Ili Valley and the Broken Leaf Valley enough?

In addition, Zhao Xian could not divide all the land in the Ili Valley and the Broken Leaf Valley to the military.For he will leave some land for his son, the king of broken leaves, Zhao Tzu!

By the way, the king of the Western Songs is not fiefdom, but sealed - because in addition to Jing Chu, the territory elsewhere is not worth money, what is sealed?It is useless to seal it.

Put the king to the middle ground and give it a circle.Because there were people of Han people in the land, the king went to nature to be blessed.

But to seal the king, what is the use of the land alone?A light pole, who listens to you?Don’t let anyone kill you!So you have to shut up.It is not a closed household, but a military.

According to the usual practice, every time the court seals a fen king, it will recruit a new batch of "landless military households."Usually 10,000 households, the recruitment is mainly the "non-elderly son" of the military and the landing of the gun doctor... The most indispensable in the West Song is the non-elong son of the military family and the gun doctor who can't get the talent.

Such people are not high, low.When the opportunity of the officer is slim, the land is not willing, so it will follow the king to the outside.

And the kings of the land must also rely on them to fight the world... the king is sealed!The land depends on these soldiers to fight!

If you close 10,000 troops, you can almost 10,000 troops.The landing of the gun doctor and the non-primary strength of the military is not weak, such a person as the 10,000, can not fight the strong enemy of Tiemu, bullying the ground head of the country is no problem.

So in addition to the seven kings of the Western Song, except for King Jing Chu, they all sealed up the household and then stole a piece of land on their own.

And the broken leaf king Zhao Tsai is no exception, his men also have 10,000 military households, ready to seize the land in the broken leaf valley area.However, this "grab" was snatched from the hands of indigenous people or Tatars, not from the court.

If the court wants to set up a state county near the target area of the king's "land grab", it must coordinate with the palace to avoid conflict.

Yes, the so-called King Dali, King Shule, King Gao Chang, King Tubo, Yu Xuan Wang, Qingtang King, do not occupy all the territory of Dali, Shule, Gao Chang, Tubo, Yu Xuan, Qingtang.But only a part of the land occupied by the above-mentioned territory is about the land that can be firmly controlled by 10,000 military households.

In those territories where the number of Han Chinese is not dominant, these military households, led by the king, are the cornerstone of the consolidation of the rule of the West Song.

As for the rebellion of the king of the husband... the Western Song Dynasty was not afraid, and how could the king of the 10,000 army households beat the Western Song Dynasty with hundreds of thousands of guns and hundreds of thousands of military households?The hard work or something, in today's West Song is impossible.

Zhao Xing's heart was a good calculation, and then he thought about it and said, "The king of broken leaves has 10,000 households, plus his own share of land, how can he circle tens of millions of acres?"A good general is another 600 acres... Is there so many good fields in the western region?”

"Sire," Han Xue said, "the land in the western region is not the same as the Central Plains, most of them are land, can be reclamation without cultivation, or once reclamation and now abandoned."To cultivate these lands is to take a little effort.

In addition, the western region is less widely.Except for a few places, most of them are difficult to find tenants.In other words, the land granted cannot be rented at all, and can only be developed by the military itself.

And one family has cultivated so much that they have to be used for grazing.So the actual award of 600 acres, the military family's income is not as good as the 200 acres of Guanlong.If you give less, it is not enough to pay for the credit.

As for the land, it should be enough.”

“If that’s the case, then do it.”Zhao nodded his head.

It should be enough... Han Xuan did not think that Tiemu would really fight the Western Crusade of the Great Song by destroying the ecology and destroying the oasis.

But even if he knows, he has no way to do it now, only to reward and expand west.

Because since the West Song chose to "make a hole", he must give the people below the opportunity to get ahead, otherwise they will definitely make a fuss.

The West Song has no opportunity to go east and into the sea, and the space to the south and north is not large - from Bagan to the south is a place of stupor, and the road from Tubo to the south is too south.To the north is a cold place in the north, which is also not suitable for the field.

So the westward expansion has become a more feasible way out!

Even if there is no iron wood really rise, the western expansion of the West Song is only a matter of time.

However, the western expansion of the western Song will encounter the problem of expansion costs higher than the benefits ... Although this cost is not all borne by the court, a considerable part is shared by the "gun doctor" and the military.

But the loss of expansion will still be reflected in the financial situation of the two West Sung pillar classes, the military and the gun doctor... Once these two classes are in economic difficulties, the entire Western Song system will be shaken.

However, in the Western calendar in 1218, the Western Song Dynasty did not know that the military and gunmen under them would go bankrupt in large numbers because of the Western expansion war.Because they did not expect the Mongols to implement a firm scorched earth tactic in the western region!

The consequences of the West Song army and gun doctor are in trouble, is a new Central Plains war... Because after the setback of the western entry policy, the eastward invasion of the rich East Song Dynasty has become the only choice!

At the same time, the "brotherly state" of the Western Song Dynasty, the East Song Dynasty, was full of joy to usher in a great era of prosperity.

The era of prosperity was driven by three factors, the first of course, the peace dividend after the Second Central Plains War – due to the Western expansion of the Western Song and the big week of the Huaxia priority policy, the East Song Dynasty is in its founding, the most harmonious surrounding environment.

The second factor is the great development of North America stimulated by the Tiemu Real War - these two things are not very relevant, but under the joint promotion of the Great Zhou Republic and its United States of North America, a boom in the development of the East Coast of North America led by the military industry has still appeared.This boom not only provides a huge opportunity for the industry and commerce of the week, but also allows the industry and commerce of East Song to share the development opportunities.Because of the investment of East Song industry and commerce on the East Coast of North America, the same can enjoy the subsidy policy of the United States of America.

The third source of prosperity is inflation caused by the continued inflow of gold, silver, and brass from the New World.

The moderate rise in prices was not unpleasant for most of the time, especially as the developed industries and businesses in the home-grown core of the East Song Dynasty clearly benefited from this level of inflation.Not only have wages increased significantly, but people have become more and more prosperous in rural areas as the area under cash crops continues to rise.

About two or thirty years ago, cotton from the Americas began to be tested in the Gangnam region, and achieved a good harvest.Jiangnan's textile industry has also received a new development opportunity - not only with silk, but also with cotton.

In addition to cotton, canola and beets were also introduced to China in this early age of navigation.It is cultivated in large quantities on the land of Eastern Song.The output of edible oil and sugar has also increased significantly, among which "Jianghuai sugar" has become five important international trade commodities in Jiangnan after silk, cotton, tea and iron.

With the overall prosperity of the Jiangnan and Jianghuai economies, the diet of the East Song people has also undergone major changes in the past few decades, and the consumption of meat and fat has become more and more.

Due to the large-scale cultivation of cotton, canola, sweet tea, mulberry trees and tea trees, the pastures used for cattle and sheep are constantly being opened up, and the arable land used for grain cultivation in Jiangnan and Jianghuai is declining.

At the same time, large quantities of food were used to feed livestock and poultry in order to provide enough meat for the wealthy East Song people.

Therefore, the East Song, which occupied the home of Jianghuai and Jiangnan Fish and Rice, has been transformed from a food export area to a grain-importing area since the United 90 years (1216).Every year, large quantities of rice must be imported from the fields of the toes, Annan and Cham to meet demand.

As for the traditional food import place in Fujian, as early as 60 years ago, it was extremely dependent on the supply of rice.

In addition, the wood imported from Siam, the spices imported from the South Ocean and the small western region, from the medicinal herbs, furs, wool, brass, soybeans, coal imported from the mainland of the Great Week (including Goryi and Japan), and the gold and silver, peanuts, peppers, tobacco and other items imported from the Americas and New Songs have become an indispensable part of the prosperous East Song economic life.

That is to say, the mainland of the Eastern Song Dynasty has been transformed from a self-sufficient idyllic land to a large international colonial trading system.

Of course, the East Song Dynasty was not a bitter colony, but a native of the colonists who enjoyed the huge wealth provided by the colony.

This should have been a good thing, but the United States system of the Eastern Song Dynasty was a little unsuited to the world empire.

Although a world empire used the "unity-for-state" system, the central authority of the United States has been greatly expanded after a deadly civil war.

The United States of the East Song Dynasty did not experience such a civil war, so it still maintained the founding concept of the United States.In the more than 90 years since its founding, the number of United States has risen from the beginning of 18 to 50.

And every U.S. state has great autonomy, can have a militia, can make some laws, the most important thing is to have an independent fiscal system, and can exert a huge influence on the tariffs of the state!

That is to say, the East Song Dynasty was actually an alliance, and each of the United States could put its own interests above the national interests of the United States.

Therefore, it is difficult for the powerful East and Song United States to fully develop its national strength - this situation is very similar to the United States of North America, which belongs to the Great Zhou Republic.But there are no strong enemies around the United States of America, and it is even far from its home country week.Therefore, the absence of a strong central government does not prevent its development and growth.

However, this was not the case in the East Song Dynasty, and the country was always under great external oppression.

In this case, still adopting a United polity is really a little dangerous.

The greatest threat to the Eastern Song Dynasty was not the Western Song Empire, because the merchants of the Eastern Song were completely incompatible with the Western Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in the face of several attacks by the Eastern Song Dynasty, the various United States could unite.The U.S. government of the Eastern Song Dynasty naturally had soldiers and strong Yangtze River masters, and they would not lose.

But the Great Zhou Republic can co-exist to some extent with the United States of the Eastern Song Dynasty!

Because the republics and communions are very close to the system, if there is any difference, it is that the sources of power of the United masses are diversified - each of the states has very close to the central power!

The source of power in the Great Zhou Republic is monistic - the Senate is the supreme organ of power, and it has the final say on everything that happens in the Grand Republic, including all dependent states and dominions.

The so-called autonomy of the country is actually the decentralization of the serenists of the Great Zhou Republic.The Senate may at any time take back the right of control or give instructions to the local law government in the form of a bill, or even abolish or change the boundaries of any county town or self-governing territory.

Of course, in the vast majority of cases, the Senate of the Great Zhou Republic will still fully respect local governance.

That is to say, for the United States of the United States of the East Song Dynasty, joining the big week is always an acceptable option!

In order for the Eastern Song Dynasty to have the cohesion of resistance to the Great Zhou Republic, it is necessary to change the loose United system, but what is the difference between the United States of the Eastern Song Dynasty and the autonomous prefecture of the Grand Zhou?

Since it is not different, why not join the big week and go to the big week to fight the big week?

Not to mention that the military power of the Great Week is stronger than that of the Eastern Song Dynasty, and that the American market held by the Grand Zhou regime is also irresistible by most of the United States of the Eastern Song Dynasty.

With the advent of the era of great development on the east coast of the Americas, and the arrival of the Marmara Sea, the states of the United States of Eastern Song became more and more dependent on the American market.

From this time on, the doctrine of long-term consensuality began to prevail in the United States.

After all, Greater China has always aspired to reunification, and the two heavy-hit Central Plains wars have also caused the rich East Song people to fear the war, and thus hope for the arrival of a long-term unified world.

And the Eastern Song Dynasty of the United States is a little helpless in this regard!

Because the power of the court is so limited, it is difficult to interfere in the internal affairs of the states.Moreover, the royal family of the East Song Dynasty has always been a weak party ready to run to Australia, and they have no confidence in the future of the world, and can also accuse the people of the United States of being too soft.
