Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"How to plot?"

"After taking Yunnei Prefecture, use Yinshan as the logistics and Daizhou as the second combat point."

Wu Shu continued to ask: "Do you think, how many soldiers and horses in Wu Jie's hands can there be a threat to Yunzhong?"

"One hundred thousand are stationed in Yunnei State! At least fifty thousand are stationed in Dai State!"

As soon as Wu Shu heard it, he knew that Wei Ming Anhui was bragging.

There are [-] Song troops stationed in Yunnei Prefecture, and the logistics line can't keep up, unless Zhao Guan's family puts the money in Yinshan to burn.

Seeing that Wu Shu didn't believe it, Wei Ming Anhui bragged even more, he said: "The 20 that the lower official said is conservative, and the Zhao official family may station [-] troops in Yinshan, specifically targeting your country."

When he said this, the people around couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.

Wan Yanjing sneered and said, "Do you know how much food, grass, and military expenses are needed to station 20 troops in Yinshan?"

"This……"

Sure enough, when asked about the details, Wei Ming An Hui became dumbfounded.

"Besides, if the Song army stationed an army by the Yellow River, they would be able to take Yunnei Prefecture?" Wuyan Puluhun said, "Aren't you underestimating us?"

"If I were the Song Army, I would definitely not attack Yunnei Prefecture first." Yin Shuke said, "I will attack Heishan Weifu Army Division first, because it is easier to fight."

Wei Ming Anhui's complexion suddenly turned ugly, he smiled awkwardly, and said: "I have always respected Dajin, and I am willing to do something for Dajin. Let's jointly attack the Song Dynasty."

Wei Ming An Hui no longer hangs himself on purpose, he can't afford this group of people, if he continues to pretend to be forceful, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating.

"My Dajin needs the alliance of Xixia to attack Song Dynasty?"

"Didn't your country want us to send troops to attack Song Dynasty many times in the past?"

"But your country didn't send troops when it should be the most!" Wu Shu said with a stern expression, "When he shouldn't have sent troops, he danced with great joy."

"His Royal Highness King Wei, I am here this time to represent my lord and sincerely form an alliance with Dajin."

"How to alliance?"

"Attack Dongsheng Prefecture together to curb the Song Army's progress in Yinshan."

"How many soldiers and horses do you send out, and when will you send them out? If you don't send troops when the time comes, what should you do?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will fully cooperate with Daikin this time. How many troops do you need from us?"

Wu Shu thought for a while and said, "I know that Hengshan is the most important thing for you. Most of the troops are placed in Hengshan. Yinshan doesn't need to send too many troops, [-] troops are enough."

"ensure!"

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses are already a lot for Xixia, after all, Hengshan's troops cannot be randomly deployed at present.

"It's already winter now, and if we go to attack Dongsheng Prefecture, the food and grass supplies can't keep up, so we will make an appointment to attack the Song Dynasty in the spring next year."

"I will definitely take back the words of King Wei."

Next, Wei Ming Anhui stayed in Yanjing for a few days, mainly to bribe some important officials of Yanjing to clear up various relationships.

"Your Highness, this Xixia person is untrustworthy. He broke appointments so many times before!" Han Duo said.

"The Xixia people are also in a hurry now. The Song army really built the city to the side of the Yellow River. Li Qianshun can't sleep or eat. They won't miss the appointment this time."

Han Duo said again: "Then Zhao Guan's family really wants to station 20 troops in Yinshan?"

"Impossible. Official Zhao's family doesn't have that much financial resources to support so many troops. Wei Ming Anhui wants to put pressure on us and let us cooperate with him. You must not be fooled by such trivial tricks."

"Your Highness is wise."

On the evening of November [-]th, the winter sky was as clean as dust, and the blue bricks and glazed glass of the imperial palace reflected a magnificent luster under the last rays of the setting sun.

Lu Yihao strode into Wende Hall.

He submitted a list of all the people involved in this case.

"Is it Zheng Chong's own initiative to kill Zhang Jiuzheng?" Zhao Ning asked.

"Indeed." Lu Yihao replied, "Zheng Xiunian, Zheng Yinian and Zheng Qiaonian have nothing to do with the assassination."

"What is the reason for him to assassinate Zhang Jiuzheng?" Zhao Ning was a little puzzled, which is really incredible.

"Young people are bound to be reckless." Lu Yihao said, "Zhang Jiuzheng got up too fast and too dazzling, which caused dissatisfaction among many people. Zheng Chong and Zhang Jiuzheng are the same age, but he can only rely on his favor to enter the official school. I heard that this year's exam failed, and I'm facing the problem of losing my job."

"I see." Zhao Ning sighed, "Jealousy can change people beyond recognition!"

"Your Majesty, this matter should be dealt with quickly. Since the imperial court has started to check the real estate, it is bound to use thunder."

"How do you think these relatives should be handled?"

"Cut the noble, cut the noble, distribute the distribution!" Lu Yihao's tone was quite cold.

He is different from Zhao Ning's coldness. Zhao Ning is sometimes cold, and he must use this attitude to intimidate others. In fact, Zhao Ning is not a cold person. He even longs to lie flat and be a salted fish in his heart.

If it weren't for the five-star hut waving to him from time to time, who wouldn't want to have a good time every day?

But Lu Yihao is really cold, this is his character, it is so cold that it makes people chill, and his actions are quite domineering.

Of course, he has restrained himself a lot in front of Zhao Guan's family.

He is different from Qin Hui. Qin Hui has inflated ambitions and strong selfish desires, while Lu Yihao still wants to do something from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that the means are a little unreasonable.

"Confiscate the real estate, keep one, and pay the fine. The fundamental fault is not theirs. Just solve the problem. Don't be too harsh."

In this way, unnecessary contradictions were eased, and a large sum of money was obtained at the same time.

"Yes, Your Majesty is benevolent and wise." Lu Yihao said, "How will Zheng Chong deal with it?"

"Assassination of the imperial court official, what do you think should be done?"

"I understand."

"The Zheng family was demoted to common people, and the family was ransacked."

"Yes!"

"By the way, has the money Yu Yunwen asked for been transferred?"

Chapter 935 The New Generation of Song Dynasty (First Update)

"One million guan has been adjusted, which is enough for him to pay all his salary this year, and the pension and rewards will be distributed by the Military and Political Yuan."

"Okay, the speed of immigration must keep up. In the spring of next year, the Jin people will definitely take action, and Xixia will not sit idly by."

"I understand." Lu Yihao said, "Wu Jie has now returned to Fuzhou from Yanmenguan. Ten city walls from Fuzhou to Hengshan in the west have been completed, and the nearest one is only a hundred miles away from the upper reaches of the Wuding River."

Zhao Ning pondered.

Lu Yihao couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the time is ripe to destroy Xia."

"Looking at Yu Yunwen's performance in Yinshan Mountain next year, the Jin Army can help Xixia by walking the Yinshan Road." Zhao Ning suddenly looked at Lu Yihao and said, "I don't want to make any mistakes when we destroy Xixia."

In the early morning of November 21st, accompanied by Qian Yuqing and Wang Zonglin, Zhao Guanjia sat near Tongyu Street and ate noodles.

Nearby is the former Guozijian, which is now the University of Tokyo, and you can hear the voices of many students coming and going.

Not far away, under a few phoenix trees whose leaves have fallen, there are some young people gathered, they are talking loudly, full of vitality and passion.

Zhao Ning turned around and looked over, and asked, "Which store is so good at early in the morning?"

Qian Yuqing said: "That store is called Yifan Bookstore. It is a bookstore that specializes in publishing books about Sifang Fanbang. The owner and minister recognize him as a businessman from Hangzhou named Pei Xuan. In recent years, the imperial court has increased business in the South China Sea. He also brought in a lot of topography books, and Pei Xuan saw a business opportunity, so he made a special trip from Hangzhou to Tokyo to do business."

"What books are there?"

"There are books about Xiejiu Kingdom (Ryukyu), Ryukyu, Jiaozhou, Champa, as well as Sanfoqi and Sumatra, including the specific location, customs, and products there."

"How did he know the specific location?" Zhao Ning asked again.

"It is said that the merchants in the South China Sea mapped out the specific location." Qian Yuqing said, "There are rumors in the market, but I can't confirm whether it is correct, so I dare not easily offer it to the officials."

"Go and get a more detailed folk pictorial, I can take a look, and I should understand it." Zhao Ning said casually.

Of course, Zhao Ning didn't have a detailed map of the South China Sea in his head, but if there was a map in front of him, he could still determine the approximate location.

In this era, being able to have a rough position is already standing on the commanding heights of human civilization.

You must know that the European People's Congress sailed and drew the global map, which was also completed by several generations of people.

"Yes."

"I also know about that bookstore." Wang Zonglian said, "Now it's not just his family that sells that kind of books. There are several in the capital, and there are even more people, not only from the South China Sea, but also from the Western Regions. I heard that Gaochang Uighur was also introduced, and there was another man named Shilaozi in the Western Regions, but I don’t quite remember.”

"Western Region?" Zhao Ning was quite surprised.

The Song Dynasty was different from the Tang Dynasty. Xixia occupied the Hexi Corridor and cut off the communication between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

For Tang people, the Western Regions are all too familiar.

But for Song people, the Western Regions are so unfamiliar that they have almost no concept.

Even though Zhao Ji took down the Longyou Protectorate in the time of Zhao Ji, it was limited to the exchanges with Tubo and did not really involve Gaochang, let alone the Kara Khanate west of Chang.

As for the Turkic-dominated Seljuk Empire further west, there is no recognition at all.

Having said that, according to the timeline, Yelu Dashi should have established Xiliao.

Wang Zonglin said: "You don't know, officials. In recent years, Nazhe Yanzhi has been buying horses in Hehuang, and by the way, he has also scaled up the trading of tea, silk and ceramics, and the Northwest Front has been pushed to the west. In Hengshan, the imperial court also built a military town opposite Lanzhou City, and the Xixia people dare not go south again, and the interior of Shaanxi has been peaceful for many years, which also provides good conditions for the commercial routes in the northwest."

"Why are you so clear about these?" Zhao Ning asked.

"You forgot, Taifu Temple is in charge of all business in the world."

"Almost forgot about this one."

"Over the years, some merchants from the Western Regions went east from Hehuang and entered Shaanxi, and some people from the Western Regions came to the capital after learning about the wealth of our Great Song Dynasty in Shaanxi. Some of them, although not many people, came to the capital. Afterwards, everyone was curious that people in the Western Regions would make money by telling stories in addition to doing business."

"tell a story?"

"It's just talking about the customs and customs of their hometown. Many houses are vying to invite them." Wang Zonglian said, "And influenced by the new learning, many students are now quite interested in places other than China."

Zhao Ning stood up after eating a bowl of noodles, and Qian Yuqing went to settle the money.

Zhao Ning looked at it for a while before getting into the carriage. He realized in his heart that this was the effect of the new learning.

Education is accumulated over a long period of time. It has been seven or eight years since the beginning of a new school, and a ten-year-old child is now seventeen or eighteen.

The new values ​​of a generation have already taken shape.

From this point of view, with the accumulation of new education, more and more people will realize that there is a new world outside.

Zhao Ning began to think about all the illusory problems in the future.

Of course, to say illusory means that there is not much clue yet, and the thinking needs to be straightened out gradually.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Ning arrived in the south of the city. He got out of the carriage, and his surroundings were taken care of by the imperial guards.

Looking at the barren land in this area, fearing that the Zhao family would not be able to accept it, Wang Zongli hurriedly explained: "Here, this area has already been settled, and residential buildings will be built. In the near future, this area will be houses, and that area will be built as a business district. There are banks, postal services, cloth shops, rice markets, vegetable markets, everything you need.”

"How much did you sell for now?"

Wang Zonglin was startled.

"I mean how much did the land sell for?"

"Counting the north, west and east of the city, we have sold a total of 400 million houses. If there is no accident, we can sell 500 million houses this year, and it will continue to grow next year. I did a survey and found that many people in the city are short of houses. , as long as it is built, there is no problem that it cannot be sold, and there are many people from other counties in Gyeonggi who want to come to the capital.”

"The Political Affairs Hall just discussed the management amount of the capital's population yesterday," Qian Yuqing said.

"What do you mean?" Wang Zonglian asked.

"There can only be a maximum of 350 million people." Qian Yuqing said, "This was proposed by Mr. Zhao."

"Why is this?" Wang Zonglian immediately got excited, "The more people there are, the more land we can sell. I'm not afraid that they won't come to the capital. Now many people are fighting for the capital to make money."

Wang Zonglian has the face of a profiteer: "The more people there are, the more people buy houses, and the rarer houses are. Naturally, rare things are lined up to grab, and the price of the house can be increased. The price of the house can be increased, too. When the temple is at the auction site, it can continue to increase, and this account is good no matter what."

Chapter 936 Aiming at Japan? (Second more)

Fatty Wang was obviously serious about cutting leeks.

Qian Yuqing said, "It's easier said than done."

"It's very simple. More and more goods are being transported to the capital from various places, and more and more grain is being transported from the south. The prefectures of Shaanxi have not experienced war for many years, and the grain production has also increased. Under the new agricultural policy, the imperial court lightly taxes , Low corvee, self-sufficient peasants, family members rise and fall, businessmen in the capital recruit workers, many people are willing to come here to make money, and add a little income to the family." Wang Zonglin said.

Qian Yuqing said: "You're right. Now there are some rural people who are willing to enter the state capital. Take Hangzhou's rice as an example. The mulberry fields were contracted to private individuals. There is no need to bear the risk of drought, and the annual income is higher than before farming, and the merchants who leased the land have also made money, and everyone has made money. Gradually, some farmers who were originally unwilling to accept it have also developed new ideas.”

People are not immutable. The reason why people dare not try something is because they are afraid that they will not be able to bear the consequences.

When the result is in front of you, it is good for you, and normal people will want to accept it.
