Chapter 416 0412 [Envoys Pay Money]

Han Zhen said: "I will allow you a few days' leave to get your family settled."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am not bringing any family members with me on this trip."

Chang Yukun was full of energy now. The energy he had when he was young, like scolding Fang Qiu and being high-spirited, was all back.

He couldn't wait to get back to work right now, let alone let him rest for a few days.

Hearing this, Han Zhen said with a smile: "In that case, then I will go to the cabinet tomorrow to work on errands. During this period, Xie Ding and the others have been very busy. With you here, they can finally relax a little bit."

The two have known each other for a long time. It can even be said that Chang Yukun watched Han Zhen step by step from a rogue to this step, so they were not so restrained in getting along.

Han Zhen asked: "Is Shandong okay?"

Chang Yukun replied: "Everything is business as usual. Since the implementation of the policy of dividing households into acres, the pressure on the people has dropped sharply. The weather has been good this year, and it is another good harvest year. The people are looking forward to the summer harvest. The landowners and gentry in the countryside, after more than a year, I feel much more at ease waiting and watching.”

Han Zhen had said before, don't look at those landowners and gentry who were desperate for life and death and crying for their fathers and mothers when they first implemented the concept of land allocation.

After a year or two, they will spontaneously support it.

Why?

It all depends on the support of peers!

Han Zhen said seriously: "The national policy in the future will still be as it was in Shandong, which is based on agriculture, while vigorously developing industry and commerce, and within a certain framework, giving merchants as easy a business environment as possible."

You have to look at the problem dialectically. Zhao Song has bad things, but he also has good things.

Otherwise, it would not have lasted for more than 160 years.

The strong business environment has promoted the vigorous development of industry and commerce, making the economy prosperous while also solving a number of refugee problems.

You know, this time is different from later generations, the fields are never enough for planting.

Refugees existed no matter what dynasty or generation they were in, but towards the end of the dynasty, there would be particularly many.

This group of refugees is a destabilizing factor.

In the Tang Dynasty, under the city system, the only outcome for these refugees was to go up to the mountains and become bandits. There was no other way.

However, during the Song Dynasty, it was able to rely on the booming handicraft industry and service industry to absorb a large number of people.

However, businessmen are a double-edged sword. A framework must be established for them. Within the framework I have set, they can be as stubborn as they want.

But once you cross the line, it's embarrassing. It's time to beat and beat, and it's time to ransack your home.

This is the original intention of the establishment of the Business Academy.

Otherwise, if businessmen are allowed to develop without restrictions, the country will be sold out.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Boar Skin's artillery was more advanced than the Ming Dynasty. Isn't that what happened?

"I'm from the province."

Chang Yukun nodded solemnly.

While they were chatting, Liu Chang entered the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of Shaofu Temple wishes to see you."

"Xuan."

Han Zhen ordered.

Seeing this, Chang Yukun stood up knowingly and said: "I will leave first."

Han Zhen said: "I ordered Shaofu Temple to reset official uniforms a few days ago. There should be samples. You should also take a look and make some suggestions."

"Alright."

Hearing this, Chang Yukun sat down again.

Not long after, Guo Chi led two tailors from the Shaofu Palace into the main hall. The tailors were holding several pieces of ready-made clothes in their hands.

Han Zhen asked: "Have the royal and official uniforms been prepared?"

Guo Chi said: "We have come up with a prototype for the time being, and I would like your Majesty to take a look at it."

Imperial and official uniforms are not that easy to make. It is often necessary to make a sample uniform first, and then continue to modify it based on the sample uniform until it finally takes shape.

With that said, Guo Chi first picked up a gun crown and unfolded it with Liu Chang's help.

Even Han Zhen could tell that this set of black dragon robes was modeled after the Pre-Qin style. It was mainly black, supplemented by red. The dragon and phoenix patterns on it also drew on the bird and insect seal scripts of the Pre-Qin period, giving people a simple feeling. It is grand, solemn and majestic, but also has a sense of mystery.

It seems that Guo Chi also put in a lot of effort and specifically inquired about Han Zhen's aesthetic preferences.

After admiring it, Han Zhen said with satisfaction: "It can be seen that you are interested. However, the red on this crown is too bright and a bit overwhelming. The color can be darker, and the red area is too concentrated. It should be dispersed appropriately." ."

"I understand."

As Guo Chi spoke, he took out a small book and wrote down Han Zhen's request verbatim.

Then, Guo Chi showed off the crimson gauze robe and three pieces of regular clothes.

Han Zhen put forward his opinions one by one: "Since it is a regular uniform, it should be simple and capable..."

As for the large fur crown, it is worn for winter sacrifices. It uses a lot of materials and is more sophisticated, so it is still being made.

After showing off the imperial uniforms, the next step is the official uniforms.

The official uniforms were borrowed from those of Zhao Song Dynasty. The overall style was still wide and had large sleeves, with some modifications in the details.

Han Zhen asked: "What do Chang Qing think?"

After all, it is the official uniform of the future. Chang Yukun did not dare to be careless. After admiring it carefully for a moment, he mused: "I feel that it is not much different from the official uniform of Zhao and Song Dynasties. It does not have the atmosphere of the new dynasty. In the future, I may be ridiculed as a tiger-like dog." ."

In the new dynasty and the new atmosphere, your official uniform is similar to that of Zhao Song, which is indeed outrageous.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen ordered: "Redo it!"

"Wei Chen obeys!"

Guo Chi's expression remained as usual.

It is normal to redo it. Which country's official uniform is not allowed to be redone ten or twenty times?

As for the official uniforms of the military attaches, it is obvious at a glance that they are from the style of the Tang Dynasty.

It is no longer a wide dress with big sleeves, but a slim fit and narrow mouth, but it always feels a bit nondescript.

Han Zhen commented: "Simplicity is there, but it doesn't look sophisticated, so I have to redo it."

"Wei Chen will change it now."

Guo Chi put away his notebook, bowed and left in a hurry.

There is still more than a month left before the enthronement ceremony. By then, all civil and military officials will have to change into new official uniforms, leaving him little time.

After Chang Yukun left, Han Zhen got up and returned to the garden.

At this moment, stupid tiger is still soaking in the pond, very comfortable.

There were many people gathered on the shore, and Mashuyao and the girls were laughing and splashing water on the tiger. The Di sisters were a little scared and shrank back, looking like they wanted to play but didn't dare.

But the tiger ignored them at all and found it boring to play with them.

"Husband!"

Seeing Han Zhen, Ma Shuyao stopped playing in the water and ran over at a brisk pace.

The little girl held his arm and kept rubbing her chest.

Han Zhen smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that the little girl was anxious.

The fact that he favored Fu Qingyi last night could not be hidden from them.

Stupid tiger immediately changed his aloof attitude and kept urging him.

Han Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to it. He had just bathed and changed clothes and didn't want to get into the water again.

……

Time flies by.

As we enter July, the weather is getting hotter.

Golden State.

Huining Mansion.

In the palace, Wanyan Wu Qimai and a group of ministers were discussing matters.

The envoy from the State of Qi came and presented his credentials, inviting the State of Jin to attend the enthronement ceremony on the eighth day of August.

This operation was difficult for Jin Guo to understand.

This is like being slapped so hard by Han Zhen that a few teeth were knocked out.

Turning around, Han Zhen sent someone to invite them to his home for a banquet.

Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongmin and others were killed in the battle, general Wanyan Loushi was seriously injured, more than 10,000 Jurchen elites were killed or injured, and the Liao and Song troops surrendered and the whole army was wiped out...

There are not many Jurchens and even fewer soldiers. After this war, it will take at least ten years of rest and recuperation to replenish this population.

This is almost a mortal feud.

Wanyan Loushi sneered and said: "This matter is very easy to discuss. Killing my son and wanting us to congratulate him is a clear humiliation to us."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently uncontrollably, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

Han Zhen's attack was too cruel.

Although the military doctor's efforts saved his life, the root cause of his illness was also left behind.

Wanyan Zongwang remained silent. After the failure of the Southern Expedition, it was a big blow to him. His power and prestige plummeted, resulting in Wanyan Zonghan's family becoming the dominant one. Now they occupy Datong Prefecture in Shanxi Province, like a local emperor, obeying orders but not propaganda.

Wanyan's mother stood up and said: "Oliyan is right, I will kill the envoy right now!"

"sit down!"

At this moment, Wanyan Wu Qimai spoke.

Hearing this, Wanyan Yanmu reluctantly sat down.

He now hated Han Zhen and Qi so much that all he could think about was revenge.

Wanyan Wu begged to buy and scolded: "Today is different from the past, how can we be as motivated as before!"

These words have a hidden meaning. They are not only talking about Wanyan Zongwang's tragic defeat, but also emphasizing the imperial power.

Today is different from the past. The Kingdom of Jin was established and he was the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin.

Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at Wanyan Xieye and Zong Wang and asked, "What do you think?"

"I can go, but I can't."

Wan Yanxie also started practicing Tai Chi.

His health is getting worse and worse, and coupled with Wanyan Zongwang's tragic defeat, his mind is not as brave and energetic as the previous two years. He just wants to enjoy himself and spend his old age in peace.

The Kingdom of Jin is not monolithic. The three forces each have their own agendas, and within each force there is a war faction and a peace faction.

Previously, the Jin Kingdom was brave and aggressive, so the main fighting faction headed by Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan always had the upper hand.

But now, with the defeat of the Southern Expedition, the Lord Harmony faction has gradually begun to emerge.

"I feel that I cannot go. If I go, where is the majesty of our country? How should the nobles and generals of the Liao Kingdom treat us?"

Wanyan Zongwang was naturally unwilling to send envoys, partly out of selfish motives and partly out of rationality.

Wanyan murmured to himself, "I think it's okay to go. The Song State was driven south, and the previously promised annual coins fell on the Qi State, so they just sent envoys to ask for them."

"Asking for yearly coins?"

Wanyan Zongwang sneered: "Do you think Han Zhen is the Song Dynasty?"

With Han Zhen's unruly character, it would be nice if he didn't ask for coins from them.

Wanyan Loushi sneered: "Olubu, are you afraid of being beaten by Han Zhen?"

Wanyan Zongwang's veins jumped in anger, and he said coldly: "Don't forget who caused the injuries on your body. Besides, do you have a solution to the firearms and artillery under Han Zhen's command?"

Wanyan Loushi was stabbed in pain, and her bloodthirsty eyes stared at Wanyan Zongwang.

As mentioned before, the Jin Kingdom has always won battles with its vigor, so many problems and contradictions have been covered up.

But now that they were defeated and frustrated, the conflicts in the past suddenly broke out.

Wanyan Wu Qimai was sitting in the high hall, watching this scene coldly and not stopping him.

Wanyan Loushi is the number one general under Wanyan Zonghan. The worse the relationship with Wanyan Zongwang, the more beneficial it is to him.

After a while, Wanyan Wu Qimai slowly said, "Don't argue anymore. We might as well send envoys to have a talk."

He is now focused on how to consolidate the throne and pave the way for his son.

In the past two years, Wanyan Wu Qimai has been busy dealing with internal affairs and compiling history.

Compiling history is naturally to establish one's own legitimacy.

Peace talks with Qi State are currently in his own interests.

If the fight continues, Wanyan Zonghan's power will only grow stronger, and the Kingdom of Jin will definitely fall apart.
