In the imperial garden, Zhao Pu was taking a walk, with only Ruixue by his side. The former maid has become his woman. "Your Majesty, what happened? You are in a bad mood!" Ruixue felt it keenly, and the emperor beside her felt a little disappointed. "After Qin Hui's death, I felt a lot more lonely!" Zhao Pu said quietly, "Qin Hui had too many shortcomings, he was opportunistic and had poor character. However, when he was alive, he could at least solve a lot of troubles and some small things. I don¡¯t need to worry about it. Now that he¡¯s gone, he¡¯s in a lot of trouble and has a big head!¡± Most people don¡¯t know the details of Qin Hui¡¯s death. However, Ruixue knew the truth. Qin Hui had violated the emperor's taboo and was bound to die. No one in heaven or on earth could save him. Ruixue couldn't help but said: "Li Gang is upright, Zhao Ding is good at planning, Fan Zongyin is resourceful, and the other ministers are also talented! Naturally, they can replace Qin Hui!" Zhao Pu shook his head: "If there was peace in the world, they would be defending the city at that time. There is more than enough, but these are troubled times, and troubled times have the cruelty of troubled times, and they are not suitable for troubled times! Li Gang is upright, but lacks perversion, and words speak louder than actions; Zhao Ding is good at planning, but has too much ambition and lacks courage; Zhang Jun has more than enough passion, However, he is a little less calm. Fan Zongyin is a shrewd person, but he is a little less wise. " "Now, it is a time of chaos, from chaos to great governance. Some bad policies in the past need to be cut through with a sharp knife. Solve it. Sticking to the status quo will only harm others and yourself; only by advancing bravely can you find a way out. You may stumble, but at least you are making progress! " Ruixue's heart moved. Asked: "Your Majesty, we want to be in the cabinet. Replacement?" Zhao Pu nodded and said: "It is necessary to replace people. It's just that most of the civil servants are not familiar with them and don't know the details. I don't know which one is suitable?" The ministers who are new to the cabinet, He will not be an old minister, but a younger generation who is determined to make progress. Ruixue said: "Yu Yunwen is a virtuous man and does not shy away from hardships. He can join the cabinet; Wan Qixi is good at government affairs and is smooth, so he can join the cabinet; Shi Hao is an average talent, but he is better at planning" These recommended ministers are two years old. More than ten years old and no more than thirty years old, they belong to the younger generation. They are an enterprising generation. Zhao Pu said: "Let me think about it carefully!" "Your Majesty, it seems that we are going to implement a colonial strategy!" Ruixue asked. "The colonial policy, in the short term, is conducive to stabilizing the refugees and reducing rebellion; in the medium term, it is conducive to the Northern Expedition; in the long term, it is conducive to eradicating the three redundancies and three costs!" Zhao Pudao. "It's just that the ministers in the cabinet are too weak, sluggish and lack of enterprising spirit" "The Jin army went south, and a large number of people moved south. This intensified population pressure and caused a serious shortage of land; and a large number of gentry who fled from the north, They also took advantage of their privileges to seize a large amount of land, which made the use of the land even more tense; and I also wanted to increase taxes during the Northern Expedition, which intensified conflicts. The three combined into one, leading to refugee rebellions, one after another, even if they were suppressed by force. , and it makes no sense. The refugee rebellion will start again soon. This is an unsolvable strategy and cannot be cured at all. " "The people cannot be blocked from moving south and allowed to be bullied by the Jin army; and there are too many gentry occupying the land. There are too many, and it is impossible to completely clean up. And if our government wants to go north, it will inevitably impose heavy taxes, so the rebellion will not stop! "The only colonial strategy is to relocate the population first, reduce the number of refugees in the interior, and ease the population pressure. Develop on a large scale, and then send officials to govern, and gradually the scale will be established. At that time, the contradiction between people and land will be reduced, the number of refugees will be reduced, and there will naturally be no refugee rebellion! "When an internal crisis breaks out, there are only two ways to solve the problem. One is internal reform, each one. The second is to redistribute class interests; the second is to invade external countries and transfer internal conflicts to the outside. At this time, there was no problem with the internal reforms of the Song Dynasty. Small reforms were no problem, but drastic reforms like Wang Anshi's would definitely lead to death. At this time, the cost of external expansion is far lower than internal reform, but the benefits are greater than internal reform. In later generations, in order to compete for several islands in the South China Sea, some countries had disputes every day and almost went to war. However, in this era, most areas in the South China Sea were ownerless lands and barbaric lands with only some indigenous residents and indifferent territorial concepts. By driving a boat there, you can get large islands and large fertile lands at a small or even no cost. The Song Dynasty had a huge navy, which was unique in this era. It could be said that it could destroy the country with a wave of its hand. If the Nanhai Protectorate is established, no country would have the guts to oppose it. At this moment, the Song Dynasty was playing maritime hegemony and had almost no opponents! Zhao Pu continued: "Even if our dynasty defeated the Jin army and regained the northern land, the north would be mostly a scorched earth and it would take a lot of effort.Financial reconstruction has increased the pressure on people in the south this time. Blindly relying on blood transfusions from the south will cause our foundation to become unstable and drag us into danger. The only way is to expand overseas and reduce blood transfusions to the South! " "In the long run, three redundancies and three costs have depleted too much of our Song Dynasty's financial resources, leaving the people weak and the army exhausted. If this problem is not solved, the Song Dynasty will definitely stage the humiliation of Jingkang again. The only way is to expand outward and transfer conflicts. When the territorial population expands, all conflicts will be completely alleviated! " Zhao Pu spoke in detail about the benefits brought by colonization. If we say that when facing the death of a cabinet minister before, Zhao Pu focused on the benefits of colonization in promoting Confucianism; when talking about colonization at this time, the focus is on benefits. Expressing short-term interests, medium-term interests, long-term interests, and even interests at all levels. To talk about different interests at different levels is like marketing. Historically, the success of Western colonization was due to satisfaction. Benefits come from all levels. The Holy See and missionaries can take the opportunity to preach; the feudal landlords can get money from it; and the poor can provide food and clothing and have the opportunity to make a fortune. If Zhao Pu wants to promote the colonial policy, he must satisfy everyone. Even if it cannot be met, you must learn to fabricate lies and spend a big pie to seduce. When Zhao Pu finished speaking, Ruixue began to ask: "Your Majesty, that colonial policy must be related to the sea. Related, and the risk at sea seems not small! " "There are dangers everywhere in the world, they are just big or small! "Zhao Pu said, "The colonial policy is naturally dangerous, but it is much less difficult than fighting against the Jin Dynasty and recovering the north! " Ruixue said: "There are many risks at sea, such as running aground on rocks, encountering pirates, or being stormy and causing big ships to sink. Building a caravan to go to sea requires huge ships and costs a lot of money. Most people simply cannot afford it! " "This is easy to solve! " Zhao Pu said: "At that time, laws will definitely be issued to severely crack down on pirates. In addition, our Song Dynasty established a navy not only to eliminate money, but also to escort the sea. With a large army convoying at sea, no one has the courage to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth! " "In addition, there are risks at sea. If you are worried about running aground on a rock or the storm at sea, you can set up an insurance company! " With that, Zhao Pu spoke out the concept of insurance again. " Insurance is a derivative of banks. With the birth of banks, insurance will also be born. " Listening to the concept of insurance, Ruixue's eyes also brightened, "Insurance The system makes a huge profit and shares the risks, it¡¯s really magical! " "Building a fleet costs a lot, so you can adopt a joint-stock system to combine money! " With that said, Zhao Pu explained the colonial policy, the problems that would be faced, and the solutions to be adopted one by one. "The biggest problem in opening up a colony may be the conflict with the local indigenous people. This is actually easy to handle. You can establish the Nanhai Protectorate to manage South China Sea affairs! " "Actually, what I value most is the fertile land in the South China Sea. It has a hot climate, is close to the river, and has convenient irrigation. Rice is harvested three times a year. If we move the landless refugees there. It only takes two years to be self-sufficient; it only takes five or six years to deliver large-scale grain shipments to our country; and in a few decades, there may be a prosperous new Jiangnan! " "And most of the areas there are deserted and ownerless land. In addition, even some land can be redeemed at a low price if it has a home. Buying a hundred acres of land there is more than half cheaper than buying a hundred acres of land in Jiangnan, but the harvest is better! "
