The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

Zhejia and Hujia went to Cao's house and got the answer they wanted.Since then, there have been many exchanges between these few houses, which attracted the attention of civil servants.

Yan Shu, Pang Ji, Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu and others discussed this.They felt that the military generals came and went so frequently suddenly, there must be some intentions.

If the generals have any plans, then they will definitely approach His Highness the Prince.

Zhao Yang discovered that during this period of time, Yan Shu and the others often came to him.Except for teaching him to read, on weekdays, I would not look for him at other times.

In the afternoon of this day, Ouyang Xiu finished teaching Zhao Yang's "Book of Songs" and taught Zhao Yang calligraphy.

During this time, Zhao Yang began to learn calligraphy from Ouyang Xiu.Ouyang Xiu's calligraphy is as good as his poetry.

Speaking of which, when Zhao Yang first started tracing red, the copybooks he traced were Ouyang Xiu's.At that time, Ouyang Xiu specially made copybooks for him.

Learning to write and practice calligraphy since he was three years old, Zhao Yang's handwriting has finally improved a lot, and he is no longer like a ghost crawling like he did three years ago.However, he also said that he felt his handwriting was ugly, especially compared to Wang Pangpang.

A few days ago, I received a letter from Wang Pangpang, in which the boy boasted that he had started to learn "Book of Changes".This learning speed gave Zhao Yang a sense of urgency.

In four more years, Wang Pangpang and his family will return to Bianjing from Shuzhou, and their bet will be fulfilled by then.If he loses to Wang Pangpang, he will call him "brother", but he doesn't want to.

Zhao Yang practiced calligraphy seriously, while Ouyang Xiu was guiding him.

At this moment, Zhang Maoshi came back from the outside, and first saluted Zhao Yang: "His Royal Highness..." Seeing Ouyang Xiu, Zhang Maoshi hesitated and did not speak.

Zhao Yang stopped writing, saw Zhang Maoshi looking at Ouyang Xiu with a hesitant expression, and said to him, "What is it?"

Seeing that Zhao Yang did not let Ouyang Xiu retreat, Zhang Maoshi reported directly: "His Royal Highness, the waterwheel has succeeded!"

"Really?" Zhao Yang looked happy, "It really succeeded?"

"It worked, very successfully."

"Go, go and have a look." Zhao Yang said to Ouyang Xiu, "Sir, I will take you to see a good thing."

Ouyang Xiu heard the conversation between Zhao Yang and Zhang Maoshi just now, and guessed that it should be related to the waterwheel, which made him very interested.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhang Maoshi led Zhao Yang and the others to a small lake in the palace, and there was a big waterwheel beside the lake.

The craftsmen of the Imperial City Department saw that the crown prince was coming, and hurriedly saluted Zhao Yang: "I have seen the crown prince."

Zhao Yang raised his hand: "Everyone get up." After speaking, he urged, "Hurry up and show me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, look..." the craftsman of the Imperial City Division introduced, "According to what you said, use the water flow, wind force, and the interaction between height and height to let the water wheel rotate by itself, which will save a lot of effort."

The waterwheel standing by the lake rotates automatically, and the water flows to the small pool beside it.

The waterwheel turns very fast and the water flows very fast.

Then, the craftsmen of Huangcheng Division brought an ox and turned the water wheel with the ox, and the water flow became very fast all of a sudden.

Zhao Yang was very satisfied with the result, and praised the craftsmen of the Imperial City Department for doing a good job.

Ouyang Xiu, who was standing aside, was dumbfounded.When he was demoted to Chuzhou, he often walked around the fields and knew a lot about farming.Naturally, he also knows the waterwheel very well.As far as he knew, waterwheels had always been powered by human power.

Today's waterwheels are all driven by people with their feet on the pedals, which is very laborious and labor-intensive.

Ouyang Xiu saw that the waterwheel made by Zhao Yang did not need to be stepped on by people, but turned by itself by wind, water flow, height and height, and could also be pulled by oxen. This is really... amazing!

"You have experimented in the field, how many acres can you irrigate?" Zhao Yang asked carefully, "This is a medium-sized water truck, how many acres can a large water truck irrigate, and how much can a small water truck irrigate?" Acres?” Because of the different terrains, the waterwheels are made into large, medium and small ones.

"Returning to Your Highness, we have experimented. A large waterwheel can irrigate seven to eight hundred fields. A medium-sized waterwheel can irrigate four to five hundred acres of fields. A small waterwheel can irrigate two to three hundred acres of fields." Imperial City The craftsman of the company introduced, "Your Highness, we have also experimented on the steep terrain. Although the water flow is small, it can be successfully irrigated."

"That's good." Zhao Yang nodded, and praised the craftsmen of the Imperial City Department without hesitation, "You are doing a good job!"

"Thanks to you, Your Highness." The craftsmen of the Imperial City Department built the waterwheel according to the waterwheel blueprint drawn by Zhao Yang.Of course, they also have room for improvement. After all, there is a big difference between a flat place and a steep place.

"You have made a lot of contributions." Zhao Yang asked again, "Is the waterwheel expensive to build?"

"It's not expensive. According to your instructions, we will control the manufacturing cost of the waterwheel within one or two taels of silver." In fact, the main material of the waterwheel is wood.Waterwheels are more expensive to make from good lumber, and cheaper to make from half lumber.Of course, waterwheels made of good wood can last longer.

After listening to the explanations given by the craftsmen of the Imperial City Division, Zhao Yang was very satisfied and praised the craftsmen again.

He said to Zhang Maoshi who was standing beside him, "Mr. Zhang, go and talk to Daddy."

"Yes, the villain will go now." After Zhang Maoshi finished speaking, he withdrew.

"Sir, what do you think of this waterwheel?"

Ouyang Xiu looked at Zhao Yang in surprise: "Your Highness, is this the waterwheel you made?"

"I thought of it, but it was made by the craftsmen of the Imperial City Division."

The craftsman of the Imperial City Department quickly said: "The villain is also made according to the drawings drawn by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ouyang Xiu suppressed the shock in his heart, pretending to be calm and asked Zhao Yang: "Your Highness, how did you think of it?"

"I have studied the waterwheels from ancient times to the present, and found that the waterwheels used from the Three Kingdoms period to the present all rely on manpower. It’s still laborious, so I wonder if it can be pulled by oxen or donkeys like plowing.” Of course, Zhao Yang’s words were nonsense, “Then I want to appear in this waterwheel.”

The craftsman of the Imperial City Division flattered and said: "His Royal Highness is wise and mighty!"

"Your Highness, the waterwheel you came up with is really convenient." Ouyang Xiu still couldn't help showing excitement, "Your Highness, you have benefited the common people again." The waterwheel that His Highness the Prince came up with is not only convenient, It can also irrigate the fields more, which will make the crops grow well in the fields.Not only that, but you don't have to worry about the fields getting dry.

At this time, Song Renzong rushed over in a hurry.

Seeing Song Renzong getting out of bed, Zhao Yang was startled, and quickly walked towards him: "Daddy, why did you get out of bed?"

"Let me take a look at the waterwheel you made." After hearing Zhang Maoshi's report, Song Renzong couldn't sit still. He must come and see the new waterwheel his son made with his own eyes.Fortunately, he was recuperating well during this time, barely able to get out of bed and walk around.

"Daddy, you are still very weak, how can you get out of bed?" The imperial doctor said that Dad can't get out of bed yet, and it will take some time before he can get out of bed and walk around, but he didn't expect him to get out of bed and walk around today.

Song Renzong waved his hand: "I'm fine, I'm fine, let me see the new waterwheel you made."

He walked over and was shocked to see that the waterwheel could turn and irrigate automatically without being stepped on.

"How is this going?"

Zhao Yang acted as a narrator, explaining to Song Renzong in detail how the new waterwheel he made worked and how many acres of land it could irrigate.

Zhang Maoshi told Song Renzong just now, and now Zhao Yang explained it again, and he was very excited: "Okay, okay, it's really great!"

"Daddy, with this water truck, you don't have to worry about irrigation." Zhao Yang said with a smile, "As long as there is water, the people don't have to worry about the drought in the fields."

"Yangyang, you did a good job!" Song Renzong looked at his son lovingly, his face was full of pride, "You have done another good thing for the common people."

Zhao Yang said modestly: "Daddy, this is what I should do." After finishing speaking, he said, "Daddy, let's make an order to promote it." The waterwheel came just in time.During this period of time, there has been no rain in the north, and the fields have become a little dry. Now is a good time to irrigate.

"Okay." Song Renzong ordered the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial City Division to make more water trucks, and then distributed them to the people for free.

The new waterwheel is called "Prince Waterwheel".Because it was made by His Royal Highness, so it was called this name.

For this simple and rude name, Zhao Yang resisted, thinking that it was unnecessary to add the prince, but the objection was invalid, and Song Renzong insisted on calling it "Prince" waterwheel.

Zhao Yang had no choice but to go with him.

The appearance of the Prince's waterwheel naturally caused a huge commotion.

Because of the previous Prince Plow and the appearance of the Prince Waterwheel this time, the common people did not have any doubts.Sure enough, after they used it, they found that the Prince's water wheel was very easy to use, and there were a lot of irrigated land.

With the Prince's waterwheel, the fields in Bianjing and other places in the north have been fully irrigated, which made the people feel relieved.

In the past two months, there has been no rain in Bianjing and other places in the north.The occasional rain, or drizzle, is not enough at all.Seeing that the fields are getting drier, the people are getting more and more anxious.Just when they were in a hurry to get angry, the prince waterwheel appeared and solved their urgent need.

The Prince waterwheel was not only popularized in Bianjing and other places in the north, but also in Jiangnan.Although there is no drought in the fields on the Jiangnan side, it does not mean that there will be no drought in the future.

Zhao Yang earned a good reputation among the people because of the prince's waterwheel.

The common people now mention the prince in all kinds of praises, and they praise Zhao Yang to the sky.Not only that, the common people also praised Empress Cao together this time, after all, Zhao Yang was born by Empress Cao.

Empress Cao's reputation in the palace is very good, but she has no reputation among the people.This is not to say that Empress Cao has a bad reputation among the people, but that the common people don't know Empress Cao and whether Empress Cao is good or bad.

A few years ago, Empress Cao did not give birth to a son for Song Renzong, and was criticized by the common people.At that time, some people said that Empress Cao had done all the bad things, so she couldn't have children.After all, Song Renzong is the benevolent king in the hearts of the common people. Song Renzong can't be blamed for not having a son, then Empress Cao can only be blamed.

At that time, Empress Cao's reputation among the people was not very good.However, since Empress Cao gave birth to Zhao Yang, her bad reputation disappeared automatically.

Zhao Yang first made the Prince's plow, and then the Prince's waterwheel, both of which are good for the country and the people.Furthermore, ordinary people are the biggest beneficiaries of these two things.Of course they are very grateful to His Highness the Prince, and they are also full of gratitude to Empress Cao who gave birth to such a smart His Royal Highness.

Because of the Prince's waterwheel incident, Empress Cao suddenly became the virtuous queen in the hearts of the common people.

Empress Cao was naturally very happy when she learned about this.However, what made her happy was not that the people said she was a good queen, but that the people said that she gave birth to a good son.

Mrs. Gao came to see Empress Cao in the palace and told her about it.

After hearing this, Miao Zhaorong felt happy for Empress Cao.In her mind, Empress Cao is the best empress and the best person in the world.A few years ago, when the ministers and common people blamed Empress Cao, she was very angry for a long time.

"Your Majesty was originally a worthy empress."

Empress Cao smiled and said, "I'm not a virtuous queen." For a long time, Empress Cao did not consider herself a virtuous queen.If she really had to count, she felt that she was a qualified queen.Besides, she did not do anything good for the common people, so she is not qualified to be called a "virtuous queen".

"Your Majesty, in the eyes of the common people, you are a worthy queen. You don't know what the gentleman in the teahouse said about you." Mrs. Gao also went to the teahouse to hear Mr. Shu's story about Empress Cao. It is to give birth to a wise and wise prince in the Song Dynasty." Not only that, the storyteller also made up other myths to beautify Empress Cao, and especially exaggerated that when Empress Cao gave birth to her prince, auspiciousness came from heaven.For example, when Empress Cao gave birth to Zhao Yang, a golden light fell from the sky, and many birds were flying in the air and singing, congratulating the birth of His Highness the Prince.

After hearing Mrs. Gao's words, Empress Cao had a very helpless expression: "Who wrote this script?"

"It's not the script, it's what the storyteller said." When Mrs. Gao heard these stories, she also found them funny and amusing.

Empress Cao said dumbfoundedly: "On the day Yang Yang was born, there was indeed a piece of golden light in the sky, and that was because the sun had just risen to illuminate it."

"Mother, they even made up a story when you were born, saying that when you were born, auspiciousness was also conferred."

Empress Cao smiled helplessly: "These storytellers should write story books."

"Your Majesty, the storyteller said this because he wanted to praise you." After hearing this, Miao Zhaorong felt that these things were absurd, but it also showed that the storyteller was praising the empress.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Empress Cao said, "I'm not a fairy." She accepted the praise of the common people for having a good son.However, it's okay to say that she is a fairy descending from the earth, and that she is auspicious.

"Your Majesty, the common people like a person, don't they just like to praise her like this." Mrs. Gao said, "They think the Prince's waterwheel made by His Royal Highness is a good thing, and they think that ordinary people can't make such an easy-to-use waterwheel. So I think His Highness the Crown Prince is not a human being, but a god. If you give birth to His Highness the Crown Prince, then you should also be a god."

"Just listen to these words." Empress Cao also knew that the common people attributed to "God" what they thought they couldn't do because they didn't have much knowledge.

"Your Majesty, I went to see the Prince's waterwheel, and it's really amazing. How did His Royal Highness come up with it?" Mrs. Gao exclaimed, "The previous Prince Li was also very amazing."

"He came up with the combination of the old waterwheel." Empress Cao chuckled, "He has a lot of weird ideas in his mind."

"His Royal Highness is really smart."

Mrs. Gao entered the palace today not only to tell Empress Cao how the people praised her, but to have a very important matter.

"By the way, empress, the news that you want to adopt a girl has spread among the dignitaries." Somehow, the purpose of Madam Gao's bringing Gao Taotao into the palace has spread, and they obviously didn't say anything. "In the past few days, many people have come to me and recommended their girls to me."

Empress Cao was not surprised by this at all. She asked with great interest, "How many houses are there?"

"The Zhe family, the Hu family, the Zhong family, the Yao family, the Yang family, the Wang family, the Shi family, the Zhang family..." Mrs. Gao mentioned these families are all families of military generals, "They all have daughters, and they are about the same age as the Crown Prince. .”

"I've been choosing among these families, but I don't know which one to choose." When choosing a daughter-in-law, Empress Cao must give priority to the daughter of a family of military generals. After all, her son will recover Yanyun sixteen states in the future and needs soldiers. support. "These are all good."

Mrs. Gao nodded in agreement and said, "These houses are indeed good, and they are old friends with our family."

"Sister, do you know the daughters of these families?" Empress Cao knew the situation of these families very well, but she didn't know much about their daughters.

"The daughters who are about the same age as His Highness the Crown Prince have never met, and don't know much about them." Mrs. Gao said, "The older girls in these families know a little better, and they are all pretty good."

Miao Zhaorong came up with an idea and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you hold a flower viewing feast and invite these families, so we can see you when the time comes."

"You have a good idea." Empress Cao thought for a while and said, "We can't just invite a few of them, or it will be too obvious. Let the wives of the fifth rank and above bring their daughters to participate." After finishing speaking, Empress Cao asked Chunyu goes to Sitianjian and asks Sitianjian to choose an auspicious day.

Chunyu came back soon and told Empress Cao that everything would be fine in three days.

Empress Cao immediately issued a decree, inviting women of the fifth rank and above to bring their daughters to the flower viewing feast.

With this decree, the wives will naturally know the purpose of Empress Cao's flower viewing banquet.

Empress Cao told Zhao Yang about the purpose of holding the flower viewing banquet, but Zhao Yang had no objection.

"It's time for you to show up."

"Ah, why should I show up?"

"You don't want to watch?" Empress Cao looked at her son teasingly, "You can choose yourself."

"I don't know how to choose anything." Zhao Yang smiled at Empress Cao, "Ma'am, you should choose, I trust your eyes."

Empress Cao felt helpless when she saw her son's indifferent appearance: "Okay, I'll help you choose carefully." After she finished speaking, she remembered another thing, and her expression became very serious in an instant, "Your uncle thinks of you. I told the Zhe family and the others about recovering Yanyun sixteen prefectures."

Hearing this, Zhao Yang raised his eyes in surprise: "Did you just say that, I thought my uncle had already told them."

"Your uncle and grandfather didn't tell them. They just told them about it a few days ago. They are very supportive of your recovery of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures." With the support of the Zhe family and the others, Empress Cao felt at ease, " Willing to fight for you."

Zhejia and the others supported him, Zhao Yang was not surprised: "In this case, let their soldiers train according to my training method."

Zhao Yang asked Cao Xu to go back to Cao's house, and told his uncle to tell Zhe's family to use his training method to train soldiers from now on.Not only that, but also issued bow slaves to them.Of course, all of this must be done in a low-key manner, and the officials should not be informed, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

Cao Ban, that is, Zhao Yang's great-uncle, passed on His Royal Highness' words to the Chong family and the others.

The Zhong family and the others are a family of military generals for several generations, and they have their own training methods. They must not be happy to let them accept Zhao Yang's training methods, so Cao Ban specially asked Cao Jiajun to compete with them.

The Zhe family and the others were astonished to see that Cao's army had become so ferocious, and each of them looked like swords out of their sheaths.

Cao Jiajun seems to have been reborn since he accepted Zhao Yang's training room, full of blood.

The soldiers of Zhejia and others naturally lost to Cao's army without any accidents, and they lost very badly.Not only that, their soldiers also lost in image and momentum.

Compared with Cao's army, their soldiers are far from powerful.They were on the same level before, but now they are far behind by Cao Jiajun.

Cao Ban told the Zhe family that their Cao family army became so powerful because they followed the training method of His Royal Highness.

Zhejia and the others were convinced by the defeat and were willing to accept the training methods of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Three days later, the flower viewing banquet hosted by Empress Cao was held in the Imperial Garden.

The wives who came to the flower viewing feast brought their young daughters, the youngest was three years old and the oldest was 11 years old.These girls are cute, beautiful, and delicate, in short, they are all good-looking.

At this moment, in the imperial garden, hundreds of flowers are blooming.

In Funing Palace, in the imperial study room, Zhao Yang was studying with Yan Shu.Some time ago, he finally finished learning the Four Books.During this time, I began to study the Five Classics.

Now, he is studying "Shangshu" with Yan Shu.

His good friend Wang Pangpang had finished studying the Four Books and Five Classics a long time ago, and now he is studying "Book of Changes", while he has just started to study the Five Classics.

At noon, the morning class ends.

"Your Highness, don't you want to go to the Imperial Garden?" Cao Xu winked at Zhao Yang ambiguously, "Don't you want to go and see it?"

"Look at what?"

"Look at people, Your Highness, you will not forget that my aunt held a flower viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden today." Cao Xu smiled meanly, "Your Highness, don't you want to go and see it?"

Hearing what Cao Xu said, Zhao Yang remembered what happened, and said lightly: "If you are curious, you can go and have a look."

"Your Highness, are you not going?"

"No, I'm going to have lunch with Daddy, you can go find Madam." After Zhao Yang finished speaking, he went to Song Renzong's bedroom.

"Your Highness, you..." Cao Xu struggled for a while, but finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and ran to the imperial garden.

When Empress Cao saw that Cao Xu had come, but Zhao Yang hadn't, she asked, "Where's Yang Yang?"

"Your Highness is going to accompany the official's family for lunch." After Cao Xu finished speaking, he quickly added, "Your Highness asked me to come."

Empress Cao couldn't see Cao Xu's careful thinking: "You go back to Kunning Palace for dinner." There are all female relatives here. Although Cao Xu is still young, it is not suitable for him to stay.

"Okay." Before leaving, Cao Xu took a peek, and then left obediently.

Someone asked Empress Cao if the son just now was her nephew.

Empress Cao said that it was her nephew, named Cao Xu, who was the prince's companion.

Some people were more courageous and directly asked the prince why he didn't come.

Empress Cao said that Zhao Yang was having lunch with Song Renzong, so she would not come over to have lunch with her.

Seeing His Royal Highness not coming, the wives felt a little pity.

Funing Palace, Song Renzong's bedroom, Zhao Yang was having lunch with his father.

"Why did you come here to have lunch with me, you should go to the Royal Garden to have lunch?"

"Don't go."

"Why don't you go?" Song Renzong teased his son, "You should know the purpose of the queen's flower viewing banquet."

Zhao Yang nodded: "I know, but I'm not interested."

"Aren't you going to pick?"

"Madam will help me choose, it doesn't matter if I go or not." Zhao Yang was too lazy to talk about the flower feast, so he changed the subject and talked about cement.

Before, he told Song Renzong about the cement.

During this period of time, the craftsmen of Huangcheng Division have been making cement, but the effect is not very good.

"After a while, the Imperial City Division will be able to make the cement."

Song Renzong said: "Then we can catch up."

"Well, we should be able to catch up." Before the accident in Jiangnan, "By the way, after the cement is produced, send a batch to the border."

Song Renzong slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you sending to the border?"

"Repair the city wall." Zhao Yang said, "while the border is still peaceful, quickly strengthen the city wall and raise the height of the city wall, so that in winter, when Liaoxia soldiers come to harass, the city wall on the border can withstand their harassment. "

"You're right." The border walls do need to be strengthened.

"By the way, we still need to build roads." Zhao Yang thought that before he went to Bianjing city, the official road outside the city was a bit bumpy. "The roads inside and outside the city of Bianjing should be repaired. Also, some dilapidated houses in Bianjing should also be repaired."

Song Renzong smiled and said, "Are you going to renovate the entire Bianjing city?"

"Just fix some broken places." Zhao Yang said angrily, "I don't have that much money to renovate the whole Bianjing City."

"Then listen to you, and repair the dilapidated place." After Song Renzong finished speaking, he thought that his body was almost in good shape, "Yangyang, do you still want to go to court?"

Hearing Song Renzong's question, Zhao Yang frowned slightly: "Daddy, do you want to go to court?"

"My body has improved a lot. I can get out of bed and walk around. It's time to go to court." Song Renzong had been lying down for a month or two, and he couldn't stand it anymore.During this period, not only did he not go to court, but he also rarely dealt with political affairs, which made him very uncomfortable.Although his son helped him to go to court and supervise the country, he was relieved a lot, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

Zhao Yang could understand Song Renzong's eagerness to go to court.Although his father's abilities are limited, he is a diligent and hardworking emperor.If he didn't go to court for a couple of months, his father would definitely feel restless.

"Go and call Dr. Shen."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Father, whether you can go to court or not is not your decision, but Imperial Physician Shen's decision." Zhao Yang also hoped that Song Renzong could go to court so that he would not have to get up early to go to court. "Doctor Shen said that you can go to court, then I will allow you to go to court."

"You still want to go to court?" Song Renzong knew that his son was thinking about his health, so he said this on purpose, "Are you addicted to going to court?"

Zhao Yang gave his father a very big stare: "I'm a ghost addict, I don't want to go to court at all, okay?" After finishing speaking, he showed a very reluctant look on his face, "If it wasn't for Dad, you , I won’t go to court.” He hasn’t slept in for a month or two.

"Thanks a lot."

"Daddy, it's good that you know." Zhao Yang stretched out his right hand towards Song Renzong, "Daddy, you have to reward me."

"What do you want?" During this period of time, it was indeed hard work for the child.

"Money, I'm going to use it to buy war horses." Zhao Yang didn't intend to hide the matter of buying war horses from Song Renzong.Of course, he had to hide from his father that he asked Cao's family to buy war horses. "Go to Yanbei to buy war horses." Yanbei, such a good place, has become the Liao Kingdom.

The Yanbei area enjoys a superior geographical location, with well-developed agriculture and animal husbandry.It used to be the Central Plains, but it was snatched away by the Liao State many years ago, and now it has become an important economic area of ​​the Liao State.

Also, Yanbei produces horses, and the quality of the horses is very good.

"Go to Yanbei to buy?" Song Renzong felt that his son was naive. "The horses in Yanbei are specially supplied to the Liao Kingdom. Do you think they will sell them to us?"

"Give them money, why don't they sell it?" Zhao Yang shook his index finger and said, "Daddy, money can turn ghosts around, as long as you give them enough money, they will definitely sell it to us."

"Even if it will be sold to us, it will not be a good horse."

"That's not necessarily true." Zhao Yang said mysteriously, "Daddy, just give me the money, and I can buy it back."

"Who do you ask to buy it for you, the Cao family?"

"No, a member of the Imperial City Division." Zhao Yang glanced at Song Renzong with disgust, "Father, don't think about the Cao family for everything, as if I can accomplish nothing without the help of the Cao family."

"People from the Imperial City Division?"

"Yes, I sent people to sneak into the Yanbei area before, and found the seller." Zhao Yang laughed twice, very proudly, "Am I very smart?"

Song Renzong was very surprised: "You sent people from the Huangcheng Division to sneak into the Yanbei area?" Long ago, Song Renzong let Zhao Yang use the Huangcheng Division at will, otherwise Zhao Yang would not let the Huangcheng Division help him work.

"Not only the Yanbei area, but I also sent people into Liao Kingdom's Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, Zhongjing Dading Mansion, Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, Nanjing Xijin Mansion, and Xijing Datong Mansion."

"What?" Song Renzong was completely shocked.

"However, they haven't sneaked into the power center of the Liao Kingdom yet." Zhao Yang rubbed his chin and said, "After a few years, they should be able to sneak in."

Song Renzong: "!!!!!!"

"Daddy, you not only want to give me money, but also a piece of land." Zhao Yang opened his mouth and said, "The land is getting bigger and bigger, and it is used to raise horses."

"Tell me about this." Song Renzong hadn't heard Zhao Yang mention sending people to Liao before.

"Then it's a long story." Zhao Yang smiled triumphantly again, "By the way, I also sent people to Xixia."

"Tell me well."

"Okay, then I'll make a long story short."

Next, Zhao Yang simply told Song Renzong about sending people to Liao and Xixia.

After Song Renzong listened, he was stunned and didn't respond for a long time.

"It's a pity that our detailed operation system is not mature enough, and we have to train them well." Zhao Yang said thoughtfully, "Fortunately, there is still time to train them."

Song Renzong finally came to his senses, but he was still very shocked.

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Didn't I tell you now?"

"Tell me the truth, what else have you done?" The child Yang Yang has done so many things, and even kept it from him. "Does the queen know what you are doing?"

"I don't know. I didn't tell my lady about it. After all, I haven't succeeded yet." Zhao Yang picked his face and said, "I originally planned to tell you when I succeeded, but now I have to tell you in advance in order to buy a war horse. gone."

Song Renzong laughed angrily: "You can really hide it."

"It's not because I'm afraid you won't agree. After all, you opposed my recovery of Yanyun Sixteen States before." The reason why Zhao Yang told Song Renzong about this was because Song Renzong had no objection to his recovery of Yanyun Sixteen States.

"What else did you do?"

"I've done a lot of things, but I won't tell you for the time being." Zhao Yang deliberately kept things secret, "I'll tell you when the time is right."

"you……"

"Daddy, you are not allowed to ask Mr. Zhang." Zhao Yang pretended to be serious and said, "I will tell you, but not now, because many things have not yet achieved the results I want."

Seeing that his son was so serious, Song Renzong had no choice but to suppress his curiosity: "Okay, Daddy will wait for you to tell me."

"Dad, don't worry, I won't mess around."

"Daddy believes that you will not mess around." Although he didn't know what Zhao Yang did, Song Renzong believed that what his son did had his reasons. "How much do you want?"

"Give me 500 taels of gold first."

"You really dare to ask for it."

"I wanted 1000 taels of gold." Zhao Yang pouted and said, "Daddy, you wouldn't be picky like that."

Song Renzong said very generously: "I will give you 1000 taels of gold."

"Long live Daddy!" Zhao Yang cheered, "Daddy, you are the best! I like you the most!"
