Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1341 The diplomatic interests of great powers

It is clear on the silent Guantang, and this young and old is also a sensible person. Many workshop owners would rather reduce the scale of production than update technology to expand production. They are more keen to buy ships and go to sea to gain greater profits.

That's because the guards and sailors of the Great Song Dynasty roam the seas, and the overseas military states of the Great Song Dynasty protect them. They are the first rank in the South China Sea. As long as you don't act recklessly and affect the national policy, try to earn benefits as much as possible.

"Confidence, everything else can be slowed down, the only thing is to let them believe that the recovered homeland will never hold them back or become a burden, these people! For their own interests, they dare to turn against the court." Wang Xiu said seriously road.

In fact, the biggest resistance to the Northern Expedition, it should be said that one of the main reasons for people's negativity, is that the current development is so good that people are afraid of recovering the destroyed areas, appeasing the displaced people, and increasing their burdens, so that their interests will be affected. Loss, in short, is to increase taxes.

This is not something he imagined, but a reality that has existed in recent years. Since the fall of the Xia regime and the expulsion of the Jin army that invaded Hexi, two roads, Lingxia and Hexi, have been added, and millions of people have been born!These people need to eat and develop people's livelihood. Where does the money come from?
When the people calmed down from the excitement, they found that the resumption of production in the two roads required a lot of money, and the closure of mountains and forests required a lot of money. It was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing wealth. ,

Although he tried his best to involve private capital, Wangji Department Store, Shenjia Wanshixing, and Jiangyou's big families all contributed money, but still needed a lot of investment, which made the people in the southeast gradually disgusted, after all, it affected their lives. No one wants to be wronged for the sake of others.

Those businessmen and workshop owners really realized that the imperial court newly revised the law of mountains, rivers, waters and grasses, clearly stated the importance of protecting the environment, added clauses on the basis of the predecessors, and added a tax of one thousand yuan to the tax. To protect the water and soil environment, it is protection rather than construction.

If you give them a penny, everyone will be happy, but if you take a penny from them, it's not a big deal, it's always annoying.

Moral support is one thing, and practical actions are another. The actual support of the people for the Northern Expedition can be seen from the purchase of war bonds and production. how.

Even if you bought it, it was mostly to take the opportunity to gain profits and make a lot of war fortune.

what to do?Wang Xiu was also troubled by this problem, and said: "Few people do unprofitable things. The key is not to shout slogans in vain, but to make people see hope."

Zong Liang felt a toothache just thinking about it. What Wang Xiu said was the reality. Don’t look at the loud slogans. If he puts it into action, everyone waits and sees. I can't play it!

Counting on Li Gang and Li Daxianggong, although he is the leader of the orthodox scholar-bureaucrats, it is a pity that there was a defeat in Xiangzhou and two major defeats in reinforcements in Taiyuan.

"This group of bastards, when it is profitable, you are the uncle, and if you don't see the future, you are the grandson. You can't be spoiled anymore, and you should clean it up." Wang Xiu became angry when she thought about it, and even the grandson scolded her.

Zong Liang was completely speechless. It was the first time he saw Wang Xiu swearing fiercely. The scolding was so fresh. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, the current plan is to break the game."

"Fortunately, I was prepared to let these grandsons bleed. Don't think that I can take advantage of the court. When they should pay, they must sacrifice for their family and country." Wang Xiu said bitterly.

Zong Liang blinked, why didn't he know?As someone close to Wang Xiu, he didn't know how to counterattack, which really made people feel confused.However, it seemed that Wang Xiu was really annoyed that some people were going to be unlucky, so he resolutely decided not to raise Li.

"Oh, you tell Cui Zhen, let him go back and watch. If the situation is wrong, leave Kaesong immediately and take refuge on a sea ship." Wang Xiu thought wildly, and said something for no reason.

"Oh." Zong Liang was stunned, and lost his voice: "Sir, are you not optimistic about Gao Li?"

"It's destined to become a battlefield there, so it's better for Talan to clean up the mess." Wang Xiu pondered for a while, and then said: "It might be a good idea to hold back some of the main force of the captives."

"Oh, I'm a bit pessimistic. If the captives attack, Goryeo will be able to fight. Tarlan and Shi Hao are not fools, who would not take the initiative to fight."

Zong Liang took a deep breath. At this moment, he finally understood that Wang Xiu was focusing on the local area and solving people's confidence in regaining lost land. He didn't pay any attention to Goryeo.

It is very simple to understand. It is nothing more than using Goryeo to let the Jin army mobilize the main force to conquer. He assassination and Wushu had to invest in strength, forming an endless loop, indirectly supporting the frontal battlefield.

It's vicious, this is using a country as a pawn to weaken the strength of the Jurchens. It seems that the Jurchens have been fooled, but they don't know the deeper plan.

"Sir, I'll go right away." After thinking about it, I am also a minister of the imperial court, and Xuan Fu deals with judges. Everything else should be based on the family and the country. Everything else is nonsense.

"Go, don't forget that the standard should be high, and give Cui Zhen the treatment of the founding county prince, so that he can go back happily, and don't waste time in Kaifeng."

Great diplomatic relations!For your own benefit and to achieve the desired goal, it is also possible to praise you as a saint, Zong Liang sighed deeply.

The situation in the north continued to be tense, and the Song army's partial divisions frequently attacked, and some small-scale troops also repeatedly crossed the border and launched short raids.

The Jiangning Mansion in Nanjing is in a state of peace, everyone should do what they want to do. The intensifying situation ahead has not affected people's peace. It is a matter thousands of miles away, and the outcome of the war is unknown. Anyway, Wang Xianggong is supporting it.

Da Nei Cishou Hall, Zhu Lian is reclining on the couch, Han Shi and Zhao Roujia are standing on the side, Zhao Jiong is sitting next to the collapse, he is already 11 years old, he has been in power for a year, and he looks much calmer. .

"Prince, is there any news from the north?" Zhu Lian glanced at Zhao Jiong and said.

Zhao Jiong said respectfully: "There are princes in the north to restrain them, so it is expected that there will be no serious problems. The empress is recovering from illness and needs to be recuperated."

"What the prince said is that the imperial doctor is saying that the mother is too tired and needs to rest for a while, so she should stop worrying about state affairs. There are princes and two houses in the court, and princes outside." Han was very relieved of her son, and hurried out to help.

Zhao Roujia glanced at Mrs. Han, and said calmly: "With the prince here, the sage is not worried, and the empress can rest assured to recuperate."
