I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 560
Yelu Hongji of Beiliao was very leisurely, even if he had already decided to lose the Yunying four prefectures, he still would not delay him from wandering around.

It is reported that the Spring Nabo is over, and it is beginning to slowly travel to the southwest.

According to the usual practice, the time when the emperors of both sides arrived at the signing place should be synchronized. Of course, this refers to the day when the covenant was signed.

As for when to leave, there is no rule.

The improvement of the Guochao rail network has shortened the time from Bianliang to the state capitals, but Zhao Xi didn't want to wait any longer.

What he arranged to do on Hedong Road was not just to sign the covenant.

When the imperial court arranged all the affairs of staying behind, Zhao Xi went out.

The Ministry of Rites had strict regulations on how kings traveled in the past.Unfortunately, it is no longer applicable.

Except for the mighty procession in Bianliang City where the guard of honor was laid out according to the old system, the entire signing team boarded the rail carriage going north after leaving Bianliang City.

This is also quite controversial in the court.

Some courtiers who took it as their duty to defend the tradition dragged out piles of torn papers, one by one in the court, and they never stopped as for the memorials.

Sima Guang, who devoted himself to studying history in the Gongyuan, also came out again, and even Ouyang Xiu, who was devoted to changing the education of generals in the martial arts hall, was also mobilized.

That's a big deal!
Wang Anshi said: The ancestors are not lawful!It was also these words that made the group of guarding ministers focus all their artillery fire on him.

In the end, because of the silence of the ministers in the entire political affairs hall, the courtiers were even more passionate. It seemed that if they did not follow the etiquette system, it would be treason, and the Song Dynasty would overthrow the country...

Zhao Xi will never send out.

The emperors of the country did not travel much, not to mention the Taizu Taizong. The so-called travel was basically a battle.

And the first emperor, that is, Zhao Xi's father, once in his life, he went out of Bianliang... to worship his ancestors.

That is to say, there was such a time in the Zhenzong Dynasty.It was after the Tanyuan Alliance that there was a time when Mount Tai was enshrined in Zen.

Zhao Xi ordered Xue Xiang to select some officials who were proficient in numerology, and began to extract the records of the emperor's travels in the past dynasties.

Doing this is not the same as those retro-conservatives, looking for the etiquette that emperors should follow.Instead, let them calculate the money and food consumed by an emperor's trip.

In addition, let the Ministry of Households also extract the travel expenses of the first emperor and Zhenzong, and then organize them into a book.

At the same time, let Wang Anshi calculate all the money and food consumed by the court since the Liaoxia coalition forces attacked Yanmen.

All the data were compared with those traveling north in a rail carriage, summarized on a chart, and asked Wang Anshi to use these data to write a memorial...

"The people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least. Where is the etiquette? If there are people who ask to follow the old etiquette, it is regarded as a way to solve the problem of not disturbing the people and not spending too much money and food!"

Zhao Xi originally wanted to say: Whoever talks nonsense will be reimbursed for the travel expenses...

It was a matter of money and food, so it was hard to stop the messy situation, and it was decided to take the rail carriage to the north.

The track cannot go directly to the east of the river, the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River, which is still an insurmountable natural danger for today.

Turn north from Luoyang, cross the Yellow River in Puzhou, and go north all the way...～
It was also at Pujin Ferry, Gao Jingxian returned, and the official escort was handed over to Cao Lin and others, that is, the old guard battalion.

More than ten years have passed, and each of them has led the army independently. When they return to the team, they can still remember the previous formation.

Looking at the sparse formation... Zhao Xi felt a little emotional.

"Your Majesty, the guard battalion should have 450 members, but it actually has [-]. Please review!"

Zhao Xi didn't make a sound, but just looked over one by one... The flames of war turned these originally young boys into vicissitudes of life.

He can remember the name of everyone who is vacant in the formation, and can remember the battle in which they were killed or injured...~
Zhao Xi murmured softly the names of the soldiers who hadn't arrived before passing by an empty place...

Although there were only less than 2000 people, it made people feel the killing of thousands of troops.

Following the prince, they also arrived at the Xiaowei Camp of the Jiangwu Hall in Pujindu, and they couldn't help but straighten their chests...~This is their predecessors, the legend in the army.

"Arrogance and arrogance to Ten Thousand Waves..."

Zhao Xi was speechless, only the song he plagiarized could express his emotions.

Zhao Xi began to choke, followed by the sonorous singing of the soldiers of the old guard battalion, and then, the battalion of the captain of the Jiangwu Hall, and all the new troops of the Imperial Guard who were responsible for escorting the army...

The traveling team stopped in Puzhou for a while, and then set off. They didn't even have time to meet the officials of Puzhou.

"How is this going?"

Through the car window, Zhao Xi saw soldiers standing guard on both sides of the track.

The most fundamental thing to persuade courtiers to travel in rail carriages is not to waste money and people, and to prevent local state capitals from welcoming them.

But setting up military guards on both sides of the track in this way made Zhao Xi more disgusted than the arrival and delivery of local state capitals.

Even if the soldiers of the old guard battalion returned to the building, Zhao Xi thought it would be redundant, not to mention mobilizing the masses like this.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court earlier asked the Imperial Army of Gyeonggi Province to move northward slowly. After negotiating a truce with Beiliao, the imperial army transported halfway, because the imperial court decided to travel on the track and needed to clear the track along the way, they temporarily stationed in various state capitals."

Hearing Wen Yanbo's words, Zhao Xi understood.It's just recycling.

Don't look at their poor fighting skills, they frighten the people one by one.It is also useful in this place.

"Your Majesty, after the convoy passes, they will camp on the spot. After the negotiation is over, we will discuss their whereabouts."

Wen Yanbo reminded the officials that it was the officials' idea to let these useless imperial troops go north, and it was originally intended to build momentum.

Now that the truce is being negotiated, this time the waste imperial army going north will really be a waste of money and food.

The exploration team led by Su Song and Shen Kuo has been wandering around the East Road for more than half a year. Not only has the resource exploration been carried out in the four prefectures of Yunying, but also the Longde Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion and Puzhou area.

This exploration, in Su Song's opinion, can be regarded as fruitful...

"Officials, Shuozhou and Yunzhou have quite large reserves of charcoal, and Taiyuan and Longde prefectures are also rich in charcoal resources. To the east of Shuozhou, the charcoal is almost exposed on the ground..."

"At the same time, Weichen and others have discovered gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum and other resources in Longde, Kelan, and Zhongtiao Mountains...~"

"This is a topographical map of resource reserves that Weichen and others have explored. Most of the places where resources can be produced are wilderness. Weichen believes that the court should list the places where resources are produced as forbidden areas and implement military control."

"The imperial court can choose to mine according to the current development needs, and the overall mining must be planned. In this way, first, it can avoid the flood of mining, resulting in low raw material prices, which are not enough to maintain the expenditure of the mining city. Second, it can prevent excessive waste and also Available resources can be reserved for future generations.”

Su Song, who was tempered by the cold wind outside the Great Wall, looked exhausted and dusty.

Zhao Xi didn't expect that Su Song, in this era, would have the vision of sustainable development.

"Zirong, I'm sorry! This matter still requires your team to plan, write regulations on the exploitation of various resources in the country, and at the same time draw up an order for the exploitation of resources on the East Road."
