Song Beiyun

Zhao Xing sat next to him and rubbed his hands, while Yan Shu swallowed his saliva and looked at the boiling cauldron smelling of butter.

"Look, look." Zhao Xing turned to Xiaoyu and said, "This is what people eat. Those are all broken things in the palace."

Yan Shu nodded again and again: "Yes."

"It's fine for the two of you to have a meal, can you stop coming every day?"

Xiao Song put the vermicelli and pork into the pot while muttering: "It's not that I feel sorry for the money. If you do this, other people in the room will have to avoid suspicion because of you. Why bother?"

"Didn't you buy another pot? It's not like your family members can't eat it."

Yan Shu was naturally shameless. He picked up a piece of fat mutton with his chopsticks, but Xiao Song knocked it down with his chopsticks: "It's not cooked. If you eat it raw, you will get parasites."

In contrast, Zhao Xing was much quieter. He skillfully stirred sesame paste and other seasonings, and then said, "This green leafy vegetable is very attractive, and the greenhouse seems to be promoting it."

"What a fart to promote, you don't know how high the cost is." Xiao Song curled his lips: "The experimental field is just for experimentation, and you still want to mass-produce? How much money does Da Song have to burn, so just tell me."

Zhao Xing's hope was shattered again, he sighed secretly and said, "Then tell me, when will it be widely planted."

"Wait until the technology of the glass plate is mature." Xiao Song poured some vinegar into the bowl: "The technology of the glass plate is not up to standard now, it is too brittle. After a few days, the glass plate and the steel frame structure are connected, and the large-scale greenhouse will be completed." It can be launched, and then the Jiangxi farm will do a pilot first, and then promote it to the whole country. I hope that the weather will be smooth next year..."

As soon as Zhao Xing was mentioned, he let out a long sigh, and even lost his mind about eating. The disaster situation in the whole territory in the past few days has been counted. Although this snow disaster is far from the worst ending Song Beiyun imagined, it still The loss was also quite heavy. The result calculated by the actuary of the Princess Disaster Relief Fund was that the direct loss reached more than 970 million yuan, and the indirect loss even reached more than 3000 million yuan.

This huge number made Zhao Xing a little breathless. He has been devastated for the disaster relief these few days. The disaster relief measures proposed by Song Beiyun were rejected by both the left and the right, because the links involved are different from the current civil service system of the Song Dynasty. If there is a conflict, it is a good idea to let the military intervene in storage, transportation, relief, disaster relief, etc., but for civil officials, this is a kind of ultra vires, so even Zuo Guogong does not agree with this proposal, which will lead to civil and military forces. It is the right move to further split and temporarily maintain the current balance.

But fortunately, the recuperation of these days has restored Da Song's vitality, and these losses can still be borne, but the weird weather since the beginning of winter has made Zhao Xing realize that if the weather next year continues to be abnormal, the next five years Food production reduction may be a foregone conclusion.

"Okay, don't talk about this anymore." Song Beiyun waved his hands and said, "Pray for God to bless Song."

"If the sky really blesses Da Song, Da Song will not stop there." Zhao Xing sighed, "Can I eat beef?"

"I can."

Pick up a piece of fat beef brisket and put it in the dipping sauce for a while, then put it in your mouth and let it cool down.

"That's right." Zhao Xing didn't take a bite, and suddenly raised his head: "When will Jin Ling'er give birth?"

"There is still about a month." Xiao Song roughly calculated: "The front foot is married, and the back foot is about to give birth."

"Oh?" Zhao Xing stroked his chin: "Then what to do, she has a big belly and it's not easy to get married."

"Of course this has been arranged long ago." Xiao Song yawned: "Just pretend you don't know about this kind of thing."

"Good talk, good talk."

Zhao Xing nodded in satisfaction, and then continued to eat. After two hours of one meal, the monarch and his subjects had a good time.

At the end of the meal, Zhao Xing didn't even have the desire to walk, and leaned back on the chair, panting heavily.

"By the way, your method is really useful. There was news from the Liao Kingdom yesterday that Yelufo Baonu has withdrawn from Yinshan Mountain to Datong and is storing food in Datong for the winter." Zhao Xing suddenly seemed to think of something funny : "They have nothing to say about our not sending troops."

"Of course there is nothing to say." Xiao Song laughed: "We can let her buy food, she should be grateful to Dade, and expect our people to be cannon fodder for them? Dreaming! She is the only one who is smart in the world. Can you calculate?"

"Okay, okay, with a traitor like you here, I don't have to worry about the Liao Kingdom cheating." Zhao Xing said with a smile: "There is also the Golden Horde who also submitted the letter of credence, asking why I issued a letter of appeal, and I even replied. None of them came back."

"It's okay if you don't return, the Golden Horde Khanate is not yet a monolith, and the ministries are still somewhat resentful in their hearts. In addition, the Jin Kingdom was frozen in the Paektu Mountain by this year's severe cold, and the North Korean Lee Dynasty is also ready to move. If the Golden Horde wants to fight Song and Liao on multiple fronts, they have to weigh their own weight. Although they are grassland people, they are not barbarians, and they are also smart and intelligent, not inferior."

"Well..." Yan Shu nodded: "It's just that the articles in the market are too hateful, describing the people on the grassland as savages who drink hair and blood, but I don't know how much effort I spent trying to deal with them. "

"Just let them say what the market says. It doesn't matter, as long as Mr. Zhao doesn't think so." Xiao Song pointed at Zhao Xing, who was paralyzed next to him with chopsticks: "You still expect those people who think they are the center of the world?" Can ignorant literati think of other places as good places? Isn’t arrogance a manifestation of ignorance? How can those who grew up in the gentle countryside in the south of the Yangtze River know the tenacity of the desert and Saibei.”

It's not that Xiao Song is destroying his ambition. He has already vaccinated Zhao Xing over and over again. Whoever is the most difficult to deal with in this world must be the grassland. He and Miao Yan spent five classes explaining clearly to Zhao Xing fundamentals of geopolitics.Mr. Zhao is currently studying the course of international politics, and Yan Shu has improved a lot these days as his auditor.

Zhao Xing doesn't think much about the old crooked neck tree now, he is working hard to become an ambitious king, so outside of his daily work, he often discusses some strange ideas with Xiao Song and Xiao Yan, and even A study group was also formed.Zhao Xing personally named it the Qinglong National Affairs Study Class.

Xiao Song is not a tutor, he also learned a lot during this discussion, because sometimes his ideas are too idealistic or too advanced, and after Zhao and Yan Shu joined, Xiao Song Thinking patterns become more and more flexible and changeable.

As for Yan Shu, if Xiao Song hadn't appeared, he would have been the prime minister himself, a top smart person in the Song Dynasty, and the appearance of Xiao Song didn't mean that his existence was suppressed, but that Yan Shu's thinking path and knowledge had been improved. With growth, he is still the smartest person in Da Song.

So Mr. Zhao... how should I put it, in fact, he knows that his talent is limited, but this can't stop him from learning from the smartest people in Song Dynasty, especially because the smartest people in Song Dynasty are still his servants, and This unassuming king even allowed these two people to say some so-called outrageous things.And precisely because of this, Mr. Zhao became the fastest growing among the three.

Because the foundation is low...

"That's right." Zhao Xing raised his head slowly: "The Dream of the Red Chamber, are you updating it or not? It's been half a month, and I have nothing to do at night so I have to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Also, you bitch Writing about the Liangshan rebellion? Are you crazy?"

"That's in Shandong, within the territory of the Liao Kingdom." Xiao Song sat there with his head tilted and his feet shaking: "But don't spread the word about that stuff, just take a look."

"Then you are more serious!" Zhao Xing slapped the table: "Not even more, hanging in the air, very itchy!"

Song Beiyun yawned: "Tomorrow must be."

At this time, Fo Baonu, who was training in military equipment in Datong, was sitting by the city wall, looking at the desolation outside the city, holding a frozen rice ball in her hand, and eating with her eyes dull. Tired, I thought I could hit Huanglong directly this time, but I never thought that Song Guo would actually play such a move.

This made her have to retreat to Yinshan Mountain and stick to Datong again, and missed an opportunity to seal the wolf and live in Xu, and the horse stepped on the Yinshan Mountain.She knew that this kind of thing must have been made by that dog, but she couldn't do anything about it, because it was beyond reproach both morally and politically.

I'm used to it too, it seems that I can't win against that bastard no matter what, she doesn't even bother to think about why this is so, she just knows that the rice noodles in her hand are even cheaper than those sold by domestic merchants, this is one of the few things that dog does One of the good things about it.

"Your Highness, it's windy outside."

The guard stepped forward, bent down and said to Fo Baonu, "Let's go back first."

Fo Baonu shook his head and took off his headgear: "Tell me, can we survive this winter?"

"Yes, it must be possible."

"It's hard. If the Golden Horde is given room to maneuver, they will come." Fo Baonu felt a little desperate in his heart: "If I die in battle, you have to bring my body back no matter what. Liao."

"Your Highness..."

But at this moment, a caravan with no tail appeared suddenly outside the city. They came to the foot of Datong City. The armament has arrived."

Chapter 448: Three Years, January [-]st, Sunny Royal Land, White Mountain, Black Water

The caravan staggered forward in the wind and snow. Although it was four days later than the scheduled time, they still chose another relatively long road.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a group of cavalry in front of them. The pair of cavalry seemed to have spotted the caravan and galloped towards them. At this moment, the leader of the caravan was not in a hurry. He just started to command the caravan to stop and move forward. Let the convoy gradually move closer.

The cavalry came in front of them, and the leader was a young man dressed in prairie clothes. His clothes were not heavy, and his lips were a little blue from the cold. The man pointed at the caravan and began to question in the language of the prairie.

At this time, the Taipan found a guy who was proficient in this language, and then the two sides began to communicate.

"Taipan, they told us to hand over the goods or they would kill us all."

"You tell him that these goods are the life-saving supplies of Jin Guo, and there is no way to explain them to them."

The guy translated the words, and the young man didn't act rashly after hearing that it was the goods from the Kingdom of Jin, but ordered the people behind him to go back to the tribe to report the situation, while he was keeping an eye on the caravan.

The taipan was also good at being a man, he asked his staff to give the dozen or so cavalrymen fur coats to keep out the cold and hot water to keep them out of the cold.

Because of the good intentions, the men in the grassland relaxed their guard against these people a little bit, and the Taipan was a carefully selected communication genius. After a conversation through the translator, the two sides realized that these cavalry tribes belonged to A small tribe on the grassland was sent to this place to garrison because the relationship with the Great Khan was not very good.

But this year's weather is really bad, and there is a shortage of clothing and food in the tribe. If there is no supplement, the tribe may starve to death, but the Great Khan does not allow them to plunder the Jin Kingdom.

"It's clear that they want to exterminate your tribe." Taipan raised his head and looked at the man on the horse: "Can't you see that?"

After the words were translated, the man also fell silent. How could there be so many fools in the world? Why don't they know that there must be something wrong here, but what can they do? If the sweat finds out about their rash actions, they must They will be expelled and become wandering tribes. At that time, other tribes on the grassland can wage war against them at will. Even if they can survive this winter, their tribe will be disintegrated when spring comes, and women will be taken away. Children would become slaves.

If it is not true that there is no other way, who in the world would like to be the fish under the knife?

loyalty?Don't be kidding, they are a nation that chases pasture without competing with the world, and their only loyalty is dedicated to Mother Earth.

After a while, the prairie cavalry who reported the letter just now came back and whispered a few words in the man's ear. The man understood, raised his head and said a lot to the caravan leader.

The translation of these words means that their Nayan wants them to be guests in the tribe, and hopes that they will not be disgusted.

The Taipan had expected this, and there was no way to escape under the current situation, the only way was to go along with him.

After arriving at their tribal gathering place, Dapan found that the place was really miserable. The women hid in drafty tents, while the men worked outside in thin clothes. Grain is mixed with grass and baked into unpalatable grass cakes to satisfy hunger.

All the furs of the tribe are worn on the children, and even their face is also only wearing thin clothes.

"discharge."

Taipan didn't talk nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, a large amount of goods were unloaded in their tribe, including food, medicine, clothing and other necessities for winter, and the caravan was so large, this team of goods was enough for this The little tribe is living in paradise this winter.

And when the caravan was unloading, the Taipan stepped forward and chatted with that tribe, Nayan.

It probably means that the goods can be left to them, and they will tell Jin Guo that their tribe intercepted the goods, and the goods are enough for their tribe to survive this winter.

Nayan of the tribe didn't answer for a long time after hearing this, his eyes circled back and forth on the goods outside and the children of the tribe in the distance, because he knew that they would not be able to survive this winter without this batch of goods, but if the goods were taken privately swallowed, they may be punished with profuse sweat.

This is very difficult to choose, because on the grassland, the price of treachery is life, usually the life of the patriarch Nayan, but if this is not the case, the blood of the tribe may not be able to continue.

After weighing it over and over again, he asked his son to follow him into the tent at the back, but when he came out, his son was alone, but the young man was holding a head in his hand, it was the head of Na Yan just now. .

Even the big class was shocked at this moment. He looked at the young man with red eyes suppressing tears, but he could only see boundless hatred.

"The young man said that his father said that you are the benefactor of the tribe, and the men in our grasslands never owe favors. He asked you to take his head to explain to the Kingdom of Jin, saying that he exchanged his head for those goods. .”

The scalp is numb... It really makes the scalp numb, and it can drive a patriarch to this point.This is unimaginable in Song Dynasty. What kind of terrible nation has been created under this harsh environment...

The Taipan didn't speak, but put Na Yan's head in a delicate wooden box, placed it carefully, and then continued on the road with the basic materials needed for the journey.

And when they went out, they turned around and found that the whole tribe was singing eagle-like songs at the door to bid farewell to these benefactors from afar.

"People are really complicated sometimes." The big class said to the apprentices beside him when he was resting in the shelter: "But just like the leader who was willing to sacrifice his head for his tribe, why aren't we walking the blade for the Great Song Dynasty? "

"Master, the people in the grassland are really brave."

"Well, it's really brave. Master, I have been on the battlefield, but I have never seen such a brave hero. I dare not think that if we meet such a warrior on the battlefield, we will lose so badly." The big class sighed : "So don't blame the master's tricks for being vicious, I, Da Song... It's not easy."

This head was placed on the table of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom within a few days. He was so angry that he was very angry. After asking about the caravan leader, he was even more angry, and even summoned the envoys of the Golden Horde Khanate directly. He also wrote a letter of questioning in his own hand and asked them to hand it over to the Great Khan of the Golden Horde.

Then the irascible emperor of the Kingdom of Jin became more and more uncomfortable as he thought about it. He simply ignored the friendship of his allies and sent troops to snatch those supplies.

But... the prairie eagles that had been supplemented were magnificent. In just a few days, just 400 people defeated the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom Frontier Army, and even chased them for two hundred miles before returning to the tribe.

This incident made the emperor of the Jin Kingdom so angry that his seven orifices were full of smoke, and the grassland Khan who got the news was also very displeased, because he already knew that Nayan of that tribe had dedicated his head to the Jinhuang in exchange for the supplies that he depended on for survival .

This is the law of the prairie!Even though he doesn't like that tribe, but now they follow the rules of the grassland but are still being pursued by the Kingdom of Jin. This is the fault of the Kingdom of Jin.

So Khan, who had just been caught off guard by the Liao Kingdom and even wiped out several tribes, became furious. Thirty thousand iron cavalry just stood on the border between the two countries, and suddenly there was a change between the two allies. It's getting tense.

And it just so happened that at this point in time, a caravan leader from the Song Kingdom came to the door. Out of curiosity, he summoned him to ask, but found out that the people of the Song Kingdom actually wanted to do business?

Song Guo, who just issued a protest against them, actually came to do business with them now?What's more, they sold food, warm clothes, salt and medicine, which were scarce items for them.

The big man immediately underestimated the so-called Great Song a few times, but although he was arrogant, he would not show it easily on his face. The two sides had some negotiations, and the caravan expressed that they could continuously deliver supplies to the grassland. Just because of limited conditions, the scale will not be too large, but it can actually alleviate the crisis of the grassland.

After the list of these supplies was placed on Grassland Khan's table, he did some calculations. These things...not too much, not too little, just enough to keep the people under him from starving to death. That's all.

But this is already very good, really good, because all the sons on the grassland are treasures, if there is a choice, who is willing to let their own sons die in vain?

After asking that Song Dynasty could start transporting immediately, Grassland Khan's ambition suddenly swelled, but this time his anger was directed at the bullying Jin Kingdom!

Although the two sides have always been an alliance, the Kingdom of Jin has become more defiant since it drove the Kingdom of Liao to the Central Plains, and the aggressive letter from the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin made Grassland Khan feel extremely humiliated. Sending troops without warning to attack one's own tribe is clearly giving oneself a disgrace. It doesn't matter if you lose a battle on the battlefield. The eagles in the grassland can afford to lose, but such humiliation is not acceptable. !If you don't take action, how can the newly established Golden Horde gain its prestige?How should the tribe under him view him as a great khan?

It is tolerable or unbearable!This justice must be brought back!

When the Kingdom of Jin started border friction with the grassland, Da Song was already planning to celebrate the new year happily.

This year's New Year's Eve was particularly lively. First, the wedding of the two princesses of Song and Liao, and then Enke, who had stalled due to civil strife a few days ago, finally released the rankings. Dozens of people became the pillars of the country.

And at this moment, there were seven caravan executives sitting in front of Xiao Song. They all returned to Da Song from the ends of the earth years ago, and information from various people and horses also gathered in Jinling City.

It is simply a feast for intelligence agencies...

Chapter 449: Sunny January 1rd Three Years

"How did you know that the Kingdom of Jin and the Grassland will start to confront each other?"

Zhao Xing was pacing up and down in front of the hall with a puzzled expression on his face.Today is the daily intelligence sharing day of the Qinglong Study Group. The three of them got together to figure out current affairs, discuss information, and share intelligence.

Now Zhao Xing was questioning Song Beiyun there.

"Oh, this world belongs to you? They do what you say you want them to do? Is there such a reason?" Zhao Xing pointed at Song Beiyun and tilted his head and said to Yan Shu, "You mean, is there such a thing? He is too God?"

Yan Shu was also puzzled. Before Song Gou said that the power of the grassland would pass because they would start confronting the Kingdom of Jin, but this kind of words were no different from the Arabian Nights to both Yan Shu and Zhao Xing.

Do you know the Arabian Nights?Why can he come here with his mouth open thousands of miles away?The two countries have worked together to bring the once powerful Liao Kingdom into a close ally in the Central Plains.

Why did he, Song Gou, dare to make such an assertion with the first opening of his mouth?His immortal reincarnation?does not exist!

But the news that came at the end really made him hit the nail on the head, and it hit the mark impartially. Zhao Xing had the same expression as Yan Shu when he heard the bulletin, that was dumbfounded...

Who would have thought that such a turmoil would be in response to a joke Song Gou made half a month ago when he was drinking?

No, today just happened to be the day when the Qinglong study group met, and the two of them came over to question them.

"You people are short-sighted!" Song Beiyun said proudly with his hands behind his back: "The future war is a war of intelligence. Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that knowing yourself and the enemy will never lead to a hundred battles. Your ancestors told you the importance of intelligence, but you are still asking me why? .I'm convinced, the Qinglong team can be disbanded, it hurts my self-esteem."

"Don't, don't, tell me quickly, how you are so amazing."

Xiao Song coughed and knocked on the table with his hands. Yan Shu next to him poured him a cup of tea with an unhappy face, but Xiao Song was not satisfied: "Is this the attitude of asking for advice? Do it again!"
