[Group Wearing Song Dynasty] The Glory of the Sky

When Zhao Gou woke up, he saw the vast snow outside the window at a glance.

Although I have slept long enough, my head still hurts, probably because I am old.

The eunuch next to him heard the movement, and carefully came over to serve him to wash and eat, but was rejected by the opening.

The timing of Yun Qi's arrival was too delicate.

After Li Shi's death, Jin Guo lost a powerful official, and Song Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief in terms of diplomacy.

But then they went west to the Xia Kingdom and won the entire old land with less than 10 troops. In the end, Tang Situ, who knew his intentions, made the decision and said that the Xixia Kingdom was handed over to Jin. country.

Anything, even if you just hold it in your hand, requires constant effort.

Although the Kingdom of Jin itself has hundreds of thousands of troops, it lost more than [-] in Linguo one after another. In addition, it has to guard against the nobles in its northern border, Mongolia and Khitan in the west, and now they have captured Xixia. Definitely divide up troops to garrison there——

What they get is far less than what they paid for.

Once Jin's military power is dispersed, it will be weakened by another layer, and Song's side will be much more relaxed.

Zhao Gou has been in a daze for decades, probably because of the birth of these two sons. Now that he has come back to life a little bit, he has found his own ambition and existence. It is impossible for him to not care about anything like before. .

What he wants is getting more and more difficult.

In the beginning, I just got Linguo's binoculars and thermos cups, and I can play and watch them every day like treasures.

But later, after he witnessed the prosperity of Yangzhou City, his jealousy and resentment grew day by day.

——That's why he was so confused that he conspired with Jin Guo to destroy Lin, but it was nothing, and instead left a joke in the history books.

But the more so, the more unwilling he was.

After a person's eyes are opened, it is easy to perceive their own situation and see clearly what kind of people are around them.

He didn't think that his civil servants and military officials could help him.

Not to mention their abilities and talents, even if Guan Yunchang is reincarnated now, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Saber can be a thousand riders, but in front of the Iron Thorn Chariot and Tianlei Water Dragon, what can a knife do? !

Even if the Song Dynasty can gather another 20 to [-] troops, and fight the Jin Dynasty or Linguo again, what will the result be? !

You know, even if he, Zhao Gou, emptied the national treasury, he would not be able to buy the countless treasures of Linguo, not to mention that he was not at the same level as himself in terms of war——

Although he didn't want to believe this fact, he still had to accept it after going through battles and seeing the walls of Yangzhou City after the war.

I have never heard of artillery, thunder or even a giant dragon.

The methods proposed by those civil servants are nothing more than learning magical techniques from Lin Guo, or reuniting with Jin to fight against Lin.

What else is there is how to exempt from taxes, promote water benefits and benefit the people's livelihood, and then recuperate and develop slowly.

is that useful?Does it make sense?

Even if he, Zhao Gou, turned the barren lands of the whole world into fertile soil, would he be able to defeat the tyrannical Kingdom of Jin, or the mysterious and unpredictable Lin Kingdom?

Because of this, when Yun Qi came to ask for a meeting, his first reaction was that he didn't want to talk to him at all.

But it's okay to ignore it.

There is a wireless signal transceiver made by her in her own palace, which can already be used to restore secret contact with Sizhou.

The woman surnamed Yun was like a typical Linguo person from the beginning, she was weird everywhere, and she seemed to know everything.

The emperor thought for a long time, looked at the endless snow outside the window, and nodded in agreement to let her in.

Because of the cold weather, the girl was wearing thick clothes, and from her pretty cheeks, she was probably only in her twenties.

Zhao Gou asked her to kneel at the bottom of the steps, but didn't allow her to get up for a long time.

What is this woman... exactly?

According to the spies, she was indeed a woman from Linguo who was kidnapped by Jinguo, and somehow got a royal order afterwards.

But she has been deliberately touching herself in this way, what intentions does she have?

"Say it straight." He said coldly, "Why are you here?"

"My minister, Yunqi, came to discuss the business of rock sugar at the order of the emperor."

Zhao Gou was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

"My time is limited, if you don't want to talk, just go down."

The woman slowly raised her head and smiled like a girl: "Your Majesty has good eyesight."

The room was so warm by the charcoal fire that the ice and snow stuck to the brim of her hat began to melt gradually.

"Officials." She said unhurriedly: "This humble minister is here to show his loyalty."

In itself, a woman with one bite and one humble minister is already out of line.

Zhao Gou also had a news network in the Kingdom of Jin, so he naturally knew what she and the late Tang Shangshu had done, so he just snorted coldly and asked, "Aren't you going back to Linguo?"

"I'm telling you the truth." Yun Qi said without changing his expression, "Liu Xun, the head of the Lin Kingdom, has feuds with his ministers, and the people of the Jin Kingdom have no virtue and no deeds. Only the Song Kingdom is the only righteous destination."

She didn't even bother to count how many lies she told in this sentence.

Zhao Gou's expression was softened by the overt and implicit compliments, and he began to ask about the festival between her and Liu Xun.

Naturally, I made up another story that passed all the logical details.

The first time Zhao Gou saw her was in a tent in Yizhou.

I don't know how she broke in, and I don't know how she did it. In the time of a stick of incense, she quickly explained the ins and outs and gave several communication tools.

Goodbye now, she actually visited Lin'an as an envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, and she was able to enter the palace in such an open manner, to be honest with herself about her intentions.

I don't know if it's a scheme by Jin Guo... It's hard to say.

Zhao Gou was used to seeing beautiful women, so he only looked at her pretty face coldly, and asked casually, "How do you pledge your allegiance?"

"Help Song to destroy gold." Yun Qi looked up at him without fear, and said in a calm voice, "After the development is stable, we will destroy it in one fell swoop."

This was said so lightly that Zhao Gou couldn't help laughing.

After all, they are just women and children, and they don't have the slightest sense of propriety when talking about state affairs.

This ignorant woman, how did Wan Yanyong let her live till now?

"Then tell me, what countermeasures do you have?"

He leaned forward slightly, looked at the thin woman and said: "If you speak nonsense, I will have someone copy it and send it back to Tokyo in an urgent letter, so that the people over there will kill you with their own hands."

Yun Qi took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Investment and set up a factory."

Zhao Gou froze for a moment, not understanding what she was saying.

"Your Majesty, if you want to be strong enough to compete with the adjacent state of Jin, it is not enough just to raise people and train soldiers."

In the final analysis, what is needed is the introduction of technology, the simultaneous development of light and heavy industries, and at the same time continuously increasing the productivity of core areas to further drive the conversion rate of population income.

Yun Qi explained very slowly, and every sentence he said was clear and simple enough for him to understand.

To break the situation, the State of Song should not repeatedly haggle over trifles and government affairs, but should use its strength to fight.

"You mean, invite people from Lin'an to do business in Lin'an or other cities, and let them set up factories in Song's territory?!" Zhao Gou showed an unbelievable expression, and smiled back: "Such whimsical words , thanks to your words!"

Not to mention, are the people of Lin'an willing to open their so-called 'factory' to Lin'an to share their skills and all kinds of magical things.

If it is true that according to what this woman said, factories will be opened in Lin'an or other places, then in the end, the people of Linguo have received all kinds of benefits, so what does it have to do with Song Guo!

"Your Majesty." Yun Qi said warmly, "Do you want fish or fishing nets?"

If the State of Song can attract investment and develop light and heavy industries by taking advantage of its population advantage far superior to that of neighboring states, it will not only be able to further dump goods to the State of Jin, but also absorb the excellence of various modern sciences at a speed much faster than opening schools. .

The development of light and heavy industries can not only drive productivity and consumption, but also give Song the opportunity to build modern weapons.

This is the best solution she can think of, and Lin Guo has no way to refuse——

If the merchants of Lin State can open up the market in Song State, then not only Lin State can use Song State's caravans to sell goods around the world to earn more precious metal reserves, but also have more channels to obtain more resources——

If you want to develop industry, it is not enough to only have a few basic mineral resources.

If it was enough, it wouldn't mean that they couldn't make stronger steel and other military weapons until now.

If Linguo opens a factory in Song State, it can train high-level technicians on a large scale, and can quietly take away more outstanding talents into Linguo. The more frequent exchanges between the two countries, the stronger the suppression of Jin State.

No matter how you look at it, it is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.

"How do you want to defeat the Kingdom of Jin?" Zhao Gou frowned and said, "What do these things have to do with the Kingdom of Jin?"

Yun Qi raised his eyes, his voice was clear and with a slight smile: "Does your majesty still remember Lu Liang's conspiracy?"

"—Weichen, I've already done half of it for you."
