King of Song

Chapter 530 Vortex
In the Chuigong Hall, Zhao Xu and all the ministers praised him repeatedly.

Win over Goryeo, divide Jurchen and Bohai, let Liao's internal and external troubles, and reduce the pressure on the Song Dynasty.

Almost without a single soldier, just use some commercial means.This is also beneficial and harmless to the Great Song Dynasty. The pearls and ginseng in the white mountains and black waters are all treasures, and they can definitely be sold at a good price in the Great Song Dynasty.

Lin Zhao was also muttering in his heart, the business route in the northeast direction is very profitable, so we have to find a way to get the Meng Family Trading Company involved!As for the Silk Road passing Hehuang Tubo in the west, I am afraid that it will be temporarily blocked in the near future.

Just thinking about it, Zhao Xu over there asked in a deep voice: "This plan is very clever, but who should be sent as an envoy to Liaodong?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Zhao again, and Lin Shilang, who proposed this plan, seemed to be the most suitable candidate.Whether it's eloquence or ability, especially the presiding over such a big strategy, or he proposed it himself, it couldn't be more suitable in all aspects.

Lin Zhao couldn't help but have black lines all over his head. Could it be possible that being an envoy has become his fixed label?I don't have the time to leave Bianjing, let alone deal with the veritable stick!
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry will also preside over the restoration of the canal's co-navigation, and besides...the two wives of the minister are about to give birth!" Lin Zhao's voice dropped very low, after all, he said such a very personal matter in the court The reasons are somewhat inappropriate.

But Zhao Xu didn't pay much attention to it, instead there was a kind of sympathy in his heart.His two concubines are going to give birth soon, and they all look forward to being fathers in the same way, so they fully understand Lin Zhao's feelings.Furthermore, Lin Zhao is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and it is also very important for the canal to resume navigation. He must not leave his post without authorization.

But if this is the case, who should I hand over the mission?Zhao Xu couldn't help but frowned again.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao immediately said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take the liberty of recommending two more people?"

"Oh? Dongyang has a suitable candidate?" Zhao Xu was overjoyed again, and hurriedly asked.

"Su Zhe and Cai Jing, what do you think Your Majesty thinks?" Lin Zhao whispered their names!

Su Shi, Su Zhe brothers, and Cai Jing once asked him to help arrange official positions, but there was no chance for a long time.Today, Shen Kuo was recommended on the shelves first, and then Lin Zhao had a flash of inspiration, and he had a new idea. This is a good opportunity to install "confidantes", and it is the kind that is upright.

Of course, neither Su Zhe nor Cai Jing is currently loyal to him.But this time I gave them a favor, will they be able to return to their hearts in the future?Furthermore, today's recommendation, in fact, they have passively labeled Lin Zhao, and they will have no other choice in the future.

"them?"

Hearing the names of the two, Zhao Xu pondered slightly.The faces of Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing were a little unnatural, after all, they are both traitors of the reform party.What is Lin Zhao's intention in this move?They are naturally wary.

Lin Zhao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, going on an envoy is diplomacy; Su Zhe is calm and capable; Cai Jing is young, promising and quick-witted. I think he will live up to his entrustment and completely win this great national plan!"

The special name-calling is a foreign matter, and has nothing to do with the struggle between the old and new domestic parties, so that Zhao Xu can reduce his grudges.As an emperor, even if he supports the new party, it is absolutely impossible for him to be as clear-cut as Wang Anshi in terms of fundamental attitude and employment strategy.They are all his subjects, and they are all loyal to Song Dynasty, so there should be no difference.

Simply discussing the matter as it stands, both Su Zhe and Cai Jing are very suitable.Fu Bi, Sima Guang and others also agreed in time. Even if Wang Anshi objected, it would not change the fact.Zhao Xu pondered for a long time, then nodded lightly and said, "Okay, that's the deal, Su Zhe will be the envoy, Cai Jing will be the deputy, and they will go to Korea!"

As for Lin Zhao's motivation for recommending these two, no one doubted it!After all, without considering Lin Zhao's real identity, there really can't be any other bad motives!Furthermore, it was Lu Huiqing's suggestion that Zhao Xu summoned Lin Zhao, otherwise he would have no chance to express these suggestions.It is well known that Lu Huiqing and Lin Zhao have enmity, so naturally they would not collude, so all this seems very accidental.

Only after the news spread, Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Yan had some doubts, but they were only doubts!They will not do anything against Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao also secretly heaved a sigh of relief!Today, I had no intention of planting willows. Although it was to offer advice to Zhao Xu, it was also a private job, and a few people were planted.It doesn't seem very eye-catching now, but in the future, it is likely to play a huge role.This is an opportunity that Zhao Xu took the initiative to give, so naturally he can't miss it...

After some arrangements, Zhao Xu and the civil and military ministers felt that the trouble seemed to be solved, so they were all very relaxed and happy.Lin Zhao also got his wish, not to mention a few people, and avoided a lot of trouble.His eyes fell on Lu Huiqing inadvertently, and his face sank slightly. After all, this guy still hated himself, and made some small moves from time to time.It's just a jumping clown, and I won't deal with him for the time being. Leaving Lu Huiqing is of great use, and he will definitely not disappoint.

Thanks to him for mentioning it, otherwise how could I have the opportunity to dictate in the court?What happened today is also a reminder to Lin Zhao that Bianjing will be a vortex in the future. If he wants to dominate all of this, he needs to avoid suspicion and just stand on the sidelines.

Song Liao border and Koryo are not good places to go, but the canal is also busy!
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has come up with a plan. It has decided to build dams in sections and divert various rivers to the canal to raise the water level of the canal as much as possible. If it still doesn't rain, it is estimated that at most only [-]% to [-]% of the water transport can be restored!" At present He also holds the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, which is his duty.

"[-]% to [-]%!" Zhao Xu was a little disappointed, but he also knew that this was the biggest achievement of the Ministry of Industry's hard work.The point is still in the sky, no one can do anything if it doesn't rain.

"Okay, Dongyang, you should pay more attention to this matter and try to restore water transportation!"

"Yes!" Lin Zhao vowed, "I will personally go to and from each section of the canal and preside over the project."

"Okay!" Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and said, "During the Grain Grain Festival, I will personally offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for rain, so that the heavens will rain down!"

He was relieved just now from the pressure of the Liao Kingdom's border crisis, but the drought still weighed on his heart. It was really difficult!Zhao Xu's heart is still under heavy pressure, and he looks forward to God's help.

Lin Zhao saw everything in his eyes and thought that he should speed up.Of course, it's best to wait until Zhao Xu prays for rain, if it doesn't rain then, it will definitely be a big robbery to his prestige.

However, this time must be carefully grasped. A huge vortex is gradually forming in Bianjing around the drought that may never happen in a century...

It's just that so far, the people in the center of the vortex have not noticed it...
