Chapter 363 Abandoned Son (1)

"Jinger!"

Zhao Pu said disdainfully.

It makes no sense to entangle about the matter of "Xingshi" and Zhao Pu was fortunate that Zhao Kuangyi had come in time, otherwise he would make things worse and he would be out of control after he left.

But Zhao Pu didn't believe that Song Jiu was so loyal. In some aspects, Song Jiu could indeed be described as a jester.

This is also his statement, otherwise he would remain silent. For the sake of the country, Song Jiu went south to Lingnan and north to the unfamiliar and cold Liaodong. He made great contributions twice. He took advantage of this trend and could immediately form a powerful force.

He was playing with Lu Duosun. If he silently looked at Song Jiu, his previous efforts might be wasted.

Song Jiu said lightly: "I don't have that kind of mind. Just a jester. Anyway, I don't want to be a loyal minister. Flattering Your Majesty or being loyal to Your Majesty is not a shame. But there is no way to do it. If Your Majesty doesn't protect me, God knows how I will die in the future."

"One of you says less!" Zhao Kuangyi shouted.

"Your Majesty, I won't say anything about other old ministers. Song Jiu is famous outside, saying that he is kind to the people, but because Song Jiu, the people in Liaodong will suffer from the disaster, and the old ministers can't bear it."

"Hahaha," Song Jiuda laughed, but he didn't say that Zhao Pu's words would have an impact on the Song Dynasty. For example, Li Fang's words, "Is it true that Zhao Kuangyi sent troops to save Yan Yun's people? Do they appreciate it? If that were the case, the people in Youzhou City would not resist so stubbornly. What kind of tribesmen are those soldiers? They are not Khitans, ninety percent of them are real Han people!

But this extremely hypocritical statement may become the mainstream of the Song Dynasty.

Song Jiu said again: "But Mr. Zhao is right, I have some reputation. But I have nothing but a false reputation. I and the late emperor. I have said one after another that I am not a good minister, but I can only be considered a loyal minister. I even told the people that I am greedy for pleasure. When I went to Liaodong, I complained endlessly and wanted to go home, so some people's evaluation of me was false reputation. I never admitted that the evaluation of the people was correct."

Shen Yilun and Lu Duosun lowered their heads and were delighted, and Song Jiu was too arrogant.

Then what else can I say?

Song Jiu changed his voice: "Although it is hard to go to Liaodong, it is helpless. After all, there is no country, there will be no family. If Yanyun is not taken back, the cavalry outside the frontier can go south at any time, not to mention your descendants. Even my descendants will not be protected. This is a sacrifice for the ego, which will fulfill the big self. In the war, the people of Liaodong are suffering, but I taught them to plant and establish a system, and our dynasty provides a lot of support. This can also be regarded as an additional subsidy. It is also a distinction between the ego and the big self. And Mr. Zhao, are you so selfless? Where are you going to the Liaodong fan?"

Zhao Kuangyi looked at them in a tit-for-tat way and said that he had a headache.

He said, "You go to the Political Affairs Hall."

Stop quarrel, have to do serious business.

Now that the ministers of the two prefectures have changed a lot, Xue Juzheng died of illness. Wang Renshan made Zhao Pu so angry that Chu Zhaofu naturally avoided the prime minister. Maybe soon, Lu Shen and the others will also dismiss the prime minister.

Even if Zhao Kuangyi is the emperor, Zhao Pu's character must be domineering and respectful!

How could he sit and see these political enemies in the two palaces?

The East Mansion is Zhao Lushen and Shen, as well as two assistant officials, Guo Zhi and Dou Wei.

The Western Prefecture was Cao Bin, and two deputy envoys of Privy Councillors, Shi Xizai and Chai Yuxi.

Guo Dou Shichai and the other four were all heroes of Zhao Kuangyi’s former vassal residences. It is unclear whether they have anything to do with Zhao Pu.

Zhao Kuangyi and everyone sat down, thought for a while and looked at Song Jiu and said, "Song Qing, you have been outside the border for nearly three years and have made great contributions to the country. I will give you the position of Privy Councilor."

Compared with the East Mansion, the West Mansion is indeed too thin. With Cao Bin, what should I expect Cao Bin to do?

Moreover, when Song Jiuyi came back, he was in the same water and fire as Zhao Pushi. If he was in the East Mansion, if he didn't come down for three days, the entire East Mansion would burn.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Song Jiu agreed without hesitation.

The Western Prefecture is so good. Although the real power is far less than that of the Eastern Prefecture, for Song Jiu, is there anything more important than military at this time?

The only one who started the warriors in the two mansions was Cao Bin.

Song Jiu told the story and the plan again.

Cao Bin and the other two were dumbfounded.

"No wonder..." Cao Bin murmured.

Before the Battle of Gaoliang River, Song Jiu made several reminders and made great contributions to the country to stabilize the morale of Zhuozhou. But later he found Dengzhou for no reason. What is Dengzhou? It is the coast, and the sea to the north is Shamen Island!

Chai Yuxi also murmured: "Liaodong."

Chai Yuxi was the son of Chai Rong's uncle Chai Shouyi. When Zhao Kuangyi was the prefect of Kaifeng, he transferred Chai Yuxi to the mansion to do business because he had a relationship with the Chai family.

Zhao Kuangyi could use Chai Yuxi, but would not use Chai Rong's descendants. For no reason, although Chai Yuxi was the same as Chai Rong's grandfather, he had no righteousness and could also gain a good reputation for treating Chai's family well.

"Xuangui, when I discussed this matter with Your Majesty in Zhuozhou, Your Majesty didn't want me to go, but the Jurchens were scattered and sparsely populated. Others either had no ability to organize or had no qualifications to take responsibility for it. So Your Majesty asked me to go to Liaodong."

"I respect the righteousness of Song Gong."

"If there is no Your Majesty, then I am now. Since the past, I was a wild boy who was ignorant of the importance of the matter, and I have been guiding and helping me, so that I can grow up step by step. Even if I serve Your Majesty for death, I cannot repay you. Besides, I just went to Liaodong to do a job."

Zhao Pu wanted to call Song Jiu a jester again, but he finally endured it when he said something.

Now is not the time. Song Jiu returned from Liaodong in a simple manner. If he was too much, neither the upper and lower levels would be satisfied.

So he said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is worried about the country's economy."

"Just just adding some troops, how much can it cost? At most, a few bottles of golden seeds."

Lu Duosun laughed again, this was alluding to the bottles of golden seeds Qian Chu gave Zhao Pu.

"And this is also related to Your Majesty's face. Your Majesty reported to the founding of Emperor Cheng, so he conquered Yan Yun. And you also said that the south first and then the north now, and it is time to manage the north. Should Mr. Zhao, you are watching Yan Yun be occupied by the Khitan and countless Han children are oppressed by the Liao people? Or do you not want Your Majesty to be a capable emperor and lay a cornerstone for future generations. Be a good example."

"A clever tongue is as confusing as you can. The people in the world are mistaken for you."

"Duke Zhao, is it that I am so smart, or do you have a huge wrist, turning your hands into clouds, turning your hands into rain?" Song Jiu said sarcastically. Then he turned his head to look at Zhao Kuangyi and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think when I heard that Zhao Gong was re-prime in Liaodong? At that time, I felt that the sun rose from the west."

"Zhao Pu, Song Jiu. If you continue to do this, I will dismiss you all and demote you from the court." Zhao Kuangyi finally shouted.

"Yes, Your Majesty, let me say the last sentence: With the ability of Mr. Zhao, if I am at ease to be the prime minister, I also agree that both Mr. Zhao or Mr. Lu have this ability. But can I speak without speaking? If I really do something wrong, Mr. Zhao will take the opportunity to suppress me, and I will have nothing to say. But I did not do anything wrong. I cannot reject all the suggestions proposed by me just because I suppress me. If that is not to use me, but to cultivate Wang Mang!"

"Song Jiu, you are becoming more and more arrogant."

"Yes." Song Jiu obediently stopped talking.

However, when the words were said, Zhao Pu would object to it for the sake of opposition. Then he would fall into a bad situation.

However, Zhao Pu looked at Song Jiu gloomyly without saying a word.

After talking about the increase in troops, Zhao Kuangyi said again: "Henan Prefecture has suffered a severe drought recently. People are hungry and mostly thieves. What are the good plans for you?"

Zhao Pudao: "Although there is a drought in Henan Prefecture, it is not that there is a drought in the whole country. The court can send a good official to Henan Prefecture, and then transfer grain and relief from Jiangnan, and Henan Prefecture will set its own decision."

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Song Jiu, and Song Jiu said, "I am the Privy Councilor. This is the position of the Secretariat and the Three Divisions. I don't know how to speak."

Zhao Kuangyi was almost speechless.

But Song Jiu passed several tests, at least now Zhao Kuangyi is reluctant to abandon him.

Zhao Kuangyi said again: "Song Qing, you are back just in time. The textile machinery you proposed to develop has a bright future."

The battle of Hei Liaohe made Zhao Kuangyi’s confidence multiplied.

A Jurchen gave the Khitan a headache. What would happen if another stop was another one?

In fact, the effect of silence is not that great, and there are various disadvantages. Although Liaodong is cold, it can still be cultivated. silence is the real desert, with a sparse population, and it does not establish the so-called country like Wushe and Anding Kingdoms.

However, if the measures are done properly, it will have some contributive effect.

Moreover, Song Jiu has always been worried about the Northwest. If this superficial road is opened and the Bu Bu has a slight rebellion, the country will pay attention to the Northwest.

If there were no Xixia or Li Jiqian's rebellion, he would pay attention to it in time and kill it in Yaolan, and prevent the Xixia from reappearing again. Not only would the court not lack horses in the future, but there would be no Xixia restraint and concentration in the north, the Song Dynasty would not have the crisis of the Jin people going south.

To be honest, if we put aside the shortcomings of martial arts and talk about internal governance, starting from Chai Rong to Zhao Da and Zhao Er, internal governance in the Northern Song Dynasty was also rare in Chinese history.

However, when thinking of Li Jiqian, Song Jiu couldn't help but think of two other people, one was Li Zicheng and the other was Taizu. Li Jiqian was almost a combination of these two people. Whether it was Taizu's guerrilla tactics or Li Zicheng's shameless fake surrender tactics, Li Jiqian played it to the fullest.

Maybe he was not as brave as Yelu Xiuge, nor as cunning as Yelu Xizhen, but he combined the advantages of the two very well. This gave Song Jiujiu a headache.

But when I arrived in the Western Palace, it should be still time.

Zhao Kuangyi continued, "It just so happens that we will go to the academy to take a look."

The group came to Hezhou.

Now Hezhou has become a top prosperous place in the Song Dynasty, and it has also brought a lot of income and talents to the court. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyi opened another city gate at the Nan Bian River and named it the Nanshui Gate, allowing goods to be transported directly to the storage area for dispersing people.

The group first saw the students.

By today, Song Jiu's imprint has become very light, and this new educational method has cultivated many practical students, some of which are quite outstanding, and even Zhao Kuangyi has to use it.

So Zhao Kuangyi occasionally came to the academy and turned the academy students from the Song family into the disciples of the emperor.

However, the students were still very happy to see Song Jiu return to the capital. Maybe they had no direct contact with Song Jiu. However, when Zhao Pu came to power, many people were worried that Zhao Pu would hate the house and the Ukrainian revenge, and they all thought that Song Jiuzhen had demoted Zhao Kuangyi to Dengzhou. Now when he returned to the capital, he turned out to be a political affairs officer, and at least a position of political affairs officer.

Zhao Kuangyi said a few words and came to Henan again.

It's not in the laboratory, but in the embroidery workshop in Henan.

Song Jiu looked at it and found that there was a shuttle. This shuttle was as prompted by Song Jiu. It used a spring, which made the weaving cloth wider and more efficient. There were also knitting weft knitting machines, knitting warp knitting machines, and several other sets of machinery.

It took a lot of money to do this and took eight or nine years to develop these machinery last year.

However, no one knows it and does not know whether it can be promoted. So Zhao Kuangyi passed on a decree to let the students and weavers continue to improve.

Song Jiu said, "You guys do it."

The main thing is whether it can be made of cotton and livestock wool and blended.

The weavers started to operate, and their efficiency was generally good, but Song Jiu was not sure whether they could catch up with the textile technology of the European Industrial Revolution after the 18th century.

Song Jiudao: "Okay."

It doesn’t matter if you can catch up, as long as you can spin cotton and wool.

With its appearance, wool sweaters can appear in the Song Dynasty.

However, on the other hand, Song Jiu was a little disappointed, and the artillery has not made much progress so far.

However, seeing the sky getting dusk, Song Jiu was not in the mood. He went to Liaodong for more than two years and nine months, and actually left home longer. He was proud of his resignation with the army in the northern expedition of Taiyuan the spring of the previous year. This separation took almost three years.

Therefore, he said: "Your Majesty, I will go back first."
