In the northwest border states of the Song Dynasty, from the Jingning Army on Hedong Road to the Suide Army on Yongxing Army Road, all the border states bordering Dangxiang to the west had no peace in the past two years.
While the high-ranking officials did not understand the sufferings of the people in the border states, the party members continued to harass and invade, and even tricked the local people into joining the Great Xia Kingdom.
In the court hall, the boundary between the Song Dynasty and Xixia was clearly defined, and the boundaries of the border states were also clear, but to the local people it was completely different.
Dangxiang used to be part of the Song Dynasty. From Li Jiqian to Li Deming, and before Li Yuanhao became emperor, Dangxiang's land and people were legally owned by the Song Dynasty. Therefore, no matter how tense the relationship between the two parties was in court, in private
But they are still communicating underneath.
Especially for the people in the border areas, some Dangxiang people entered the territory of the Song Dynasty to farm and herd, while some Han people also entered the Dangxiang territory to farm, buy and sell, and even engage in handicrafts. There were not many people-to-people exchanges between the two sides.
In the eyes of the people, the decision made in the court was just a piece of paper and had little to do with them. It was not until Li Yuanhao founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor that the people of the Han family realized it, but they only privately despised the barbarian for daring to provoke him.
Due to the majesty of the Han family, the emperor will definitely wave his troops to the west to let them know the power of the dynasty.
Yes, there were still many Han people staying in Dangxiang at this time. In their view, Li Yuanhao was just one of the many rebellions in the Song Dynasty, and was not much different from Wang Xiaobo's rebellion on the Fourth Road of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
But some smart people began to move their families and return to the Song Dynasty, but it was extremely difficult to go back. Xixia was not willing to let the Han people leave. Population has always been important to Dangxiang.
As long as the Han people are on the territory of Daxia, they are the subjects of Daxia. They can come, but not leave!
On the other side, the state government offices of the Song Dynasty would naturally restrict the departure of party members, and would not allow Han people to go to Xixia. They tried their best to bring back the Han people in Xixia.
Some villages were full of Han people, and if they did not move back, it would not only be a loss to the Song Dynasty, but they would also be reprimanded by the superior officials and severely punished by the court.
The two sides secretly fought over the migration of the people, and used all kinds of coercion and inducement, but neither side dared to swing a knife at the people, because once the knife was used, the nature changed. If you can kill this village, what about the next village?
The simplest truth in common people's minds is to stay in a stable environment, with land to plant crops, food to harvest, taxes to be paid in summer and autumn, and life to be safe.
Even Dangxiang people understand this truth, so they will not attack the people easily, but their threatening attitude is much tougher, and they even say that they will go south again next year. If they stay in Dangxiang territory, everything will be fine.
If we go back to the border state of the Song Dynasty, we can't say for sure...
Such threats were so effective that some Han people did not dare to return to the Song Dynasty. Indeed, it was only heard that the Dangxiang people invaded from the south, but it was rare that the Song people went north to the Dangxiang land.
But except for one place, the land of sweetness and coolness!
People in other places are trying to move inland, and the farther away from the border states, the better, but Qinfeng Road is an exception. To be precise, Ganzhou and Liangzhou are exceptions.
Not only the surrounding Han people gathered there, but also the Dangxiang people were vying to join them. It was not that Xixia was not attractive enough, but that Ganliang gave too much.
Other state capitals need to pay summer and autumn taxes, but Ganliang only needs to pay autumn taxes. Sometimes the remaining taxes are exempted for various reasons. There is no need to pay entry and exit taxes when entering or leaving the city. Merchants sell goods.
Goods are only one of the ten taxes. All measures are applied equally to Han people and other foreign people. Moreover, the commerce in Ganliang and Liangzhou is prosperous. You can buy almost any goods you want here, ranging from daily necessities to daily necessities.
From demand to large goods trading, etc., there is nothing you can't think of that you can't buy.
But the most attractive thing here for ordinary people is the opportunity to work! It is really easy to make money in Ganliang. As long as you have a little effort, you can make a lot of money. If you are smarter and smarter, you can make a lot of money.
Money is waiting for you to earn.
Whether you are a small businessman running your own business, working as an apprentice in a business, or learning from a famous craftsman, there are many ways to make money, and you can even work in the factories of various businesses.
Moreover, these two places are quite safe. Whether they are Song people, Dangxiang people, or Uighurs, they can live and work in peace and contentment without the possibility of external threats.
In the environment of many contradictions between Song and Xia, having these two places to stay was like a paradise. The merchants who came and went brought a lot of trade. The prosperity of Gansu and Liangzhou was driven by these trades.
leap.
The manufacturing industry throughout the Song Dynasty was shifting to the northwest. This was originally not in line with the laws of economics. However, because Ganliang was the starting point of the Silk Road during the Song Dynasty, the shift of manufacturing industry was conducive to the development of trade, and at the same time a large number of
The production of products also dilutes the cost to a certain extent. Moreover, Ganliang is a production center, and a large amount of goods still have to be transported to Tokyo City and sold in batches. This gives many people the opportunity to make a profit from the price difference.
To a certain extent, it also promoted the commercial operation of the Song Dynasty. As for the transportation link, it also supported a large number of people, and the state capitals along the way benefited. Who can refuse such a benefit distribution?
Although the supply chain has been lengthened, as long as there is continuous production and transportation, it will not hinder the development of trade. More importantly, all the state capitals along the way understand the truth that building roads and providing convenience is a good thing for the local area.
Best revenue boost.
So Ganliang once again showed his influence to the Song Dynasty, and Ganliang's wealth and the increase of people also made the surrounding state capitals have a mixture of love and hate...
Especially in Huangzhou, which is close to Liangzhou Prefecture, the border people continued to move the boundary stones southward, so that the boundary of Liangzhou Prefecture has reached the edge of Huangzhou Nanzong Fort.
Fan Ziyuan ordered the people of Huangzhou more than once not to move the boundary stones, but there was still no way. As soon as night fell, the people used the spirit of "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain" and moved several boundary stones southward at the same time. The distance was not much, just one mile.
, but I can’t stand them moving like this every day!
The officials of Liangzhou Prefecture even sent people to station near the boundary stone. This left Fan Ziyuan helpless. After all, Liangzhou Prefecture had done everything they could do. They couldn't jail the people for moving the boundary stone, right?
Even if he was imprisoned, people were already prepared. At first, the people who moved the boundary stones filled the Huangzhou Prison. Later, Fan Ziyuan personally ordered his release. If he did not release them, the boundary stones would be like stepping on the wind and fire.
The wheel usually moves one mile or even two miles a day!
Just when he was about to write a letter to Pei Chengwen, the magistrate of Liangzhou Prefecture, he came to his door. Instead, he said that his rule was lax and that Liangzhou Prefecture now had to bear part of the taxes of Huangzhou people!
Where can Fan Ziyuan, who is crying but without tears, go to reason?!
He originally planned to have good food, drinks and entertainment, but when he arrived, Pei Chengwen only explained clearly about the boundary stone, and then took Fan Ziyuan into the signing room to discuss the defense of the border state.
