In history, the Song Dynasty had a precedent for the public to discuss. According to the Zhao family's habits, it was normal to listen to Zhang Yun's own opinions.

If it was in the palace, then all this would seem very natural. But now, Zhao Kuo actually left the palace in a concealed manner, so things are probably not that simple.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Zhang Yun suddenly said, "Is it because of the official's coming here for rewards?"

Logically speaking, all the rewards Bi Zaiyu have been given, and Zhang Yun's contribution should be more than Bi Zaiyu. There has been no news for a long time, so there must be something strange about it.

"This is not completely true! Have Liulang ever thought about why the two new laws and reforms in the Song Dynasty were not successful!" Zhao Kuo's topic became a bit heavy.

But isn’t everything Zhang Yun shows now for this?

Zhang Yun was familiar with history, and of course he knew the two changes in the history of the Song Dynasty.

The first time was a new reform led by Fan Zhongyan, but during the implementation process, it violated the fundamental interests of the gentry and was strongly opposed.

A famous minister of a generation ended up in a depressed ending.

The second time was a reform led by Wang Anshi. This reform can be said to have limited the exploitation of farmers by landlords and wealthy merchants to a certain extent, promoted the development of farmland and water conservancy, improved the financial situation of the Song Dynasty and strengthened military power.

However, due to the fierce opposition from conservative forces such as Sima Guang, Song Shenzong was in a state of turmoil, resulting in the failure of the entire reform.

That's right, it's the well-known Sima Guang who smashed the jar to save people, although he left a brilliant mark in history.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun was a little restless. Although Zhao Kuo didn't say it clearly, he seemed to have a little clarity in his heart.

"I understand Liulang's heart very well. Even as an emperor, I sometimes want to do something, and I have to let the scholars and officials in the court!"

After a pause, Zhao Kuo said again: "The change in national policy is not a matter of one day or one night!"

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Zhang Yun burst into cold sweats on her back. She originally thought that she would curry favor with the royal family and make military achievements, and then Han Tuozhou's power could regain the decline of the Song Dynasty.

But now I think I am too naive!

It is difficult for him to make the upper class give up the interests in his hands, and even Zhao Kuo can do it, but how can he do it?

This is like, who is willing to hand over the money that has entered your own pocket for nothing!

Zhao Kuo even had to play the art of balance in the court. Zhang Yun, a mere newcomer, had any capital to clamor for the gentry class.

In the end, I have only ambitions, and the outcome is predictable.

It is true that Han Tuozhou has power, but he is also a gentry after all. Once his own interests are damaged, it is hard to say that he will not stand against him.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yun smiled helplessly. He was really naive. The reason why Han Tuozhou believed in him was because he bet that Zhang Yun could change the situation of the Northern Expedition.

Once the Northern Expedition is settled and Han Tuozhou keeps his black hat, will he still support himself? Zhang Yun thinks it is unlikely that even if he thinks of this, he himself will.

"Officials, ministers..." Zhang Yun had just spoken when he saw Zhao Kuo patting his shoulder with a smile on his face.

"Looking at Liulang's words and deeds is a person who wants to do things for the Song Dynasty! But things in the court cannot be accomplished overnight. It is better to be exiled to be an official and to lay a firm foundation first!" Zhao Kuo's sudden change of words, which surprised Zhang Yun.

This sentence shows both openly and secretly that Zhao Kuo believes that Zhang Yun is a useful person, and only the matter is minor now and needs to accumulate strength.

"I am willing to devote my life to the Song Dynasty until my death!" When it was time to express my opinion, Zhang Yun was not vague at all.

Zhao Kuo nodded with satisfaction, looking like a childish and sensible.

"Xingyuan Mansion, Liulang should not think about it. The master and the gang of old guys will not agree." Zhao Kuo took another sip of the tea ceremony.

If you think about it carefully, the Wu family's power has been uprooted in the land of Bashu. At present, the Feng Shui treasure land has probably been trampled on by the forces in the court.

If you insert it, you will probably be eaten without even leaving any residue!

As things have developed to this point, Zhang Yun can only make the worst plans. Since she can't go to the place she wants to go the most, she will settle for the second best.

"Officials, I wonder if Guangnan West Road is available?" Zhang Yun asked tentatively.

Both of them said this, so Zhang Yun was not polite.

Zhao Kuo pondered for a while, Zhang Yun had a cruel look, and there were indeed few people who were willing to go to the remote and poor areas on Guangnan West Road.

But according to Zhang Yun's personality, she is definitely not a targetless person.

Seeing that Zhao Kuo did not agree immediately, Zhang Yun continued: "I heard that Qinzhou is a natural harbor, and sea transportation trade will definitely receive a lot of goods."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kuo shook his head helplessly. Zhang Yun's vision of making money is really unique.

Since its founding, the Song Dynasty has never suppressed commercial development, so sea trade can be said to have brought incredibly huge profits to the Song Dynasty.

Why didn’t Zhao Kuo, the king of a country, know about this?

Zhang Yunxiang used sea trade to make money, but in the end he still did not give up and wanted to train a new army.

However, where Guangnan West Road is close to Dali Country, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt that it seemed like a good choice.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, we have learned the lessons of the Tang Dynasty and have basically never used any war against Dali.

Although the Dali Kingdom was superficially surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he came to pay tribute every now and then. Isn’t it too unfair to take the Song Dynasty seriously?

Just as Zhao Kuo was pondering in Dali Kingdom, Zhang Yun's thoughts had already flown to Ryukyu and even further away from the Japanese island.

If you want to develop a firearm, gunpowder is essential, but saltpeter is really not much on the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Although Zhang Yun knew how to make salt in caves, once war started with Mongolia, production would probably be a problem.

Furthermore, if you want to occupy Ryukyu and conquer the Japanese island, it is not possible to have no navy. Qinzhou is a good natural harbor, which means you can build a navy by yourself.

But if all the above ideas are realized, Zhang Yun needs to monopolize the military power on Guangnan West Road.

Once you expand your territory, even scholars and officials dare not easily make mistakes in the court.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun couldn't help but smile. If he looked up at this time, Zhao Kuo's face was also smiling.

The old and the young were all silent in their own lust. If they were seen by outsiders... the four guys standing at the door would be in trouble.

After half a stick of incense, Zhang Yun donated all the shares of Zuixianlou. Because he knew that once he left Lin'an, some guys would be impatient to do it.

Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative to hand it over to Zhao Kuo, and you can still make a favor. As for the Zhang family, as long as Zhang Yu is not falling, there should be no problem with his position.

The reason why Zhang Yun did this was nothing more than to protect Xianglu’s sales rights.

Don’t think that a small grocery store can’t make a lot of money. Once Zhang Yun gains a foothold on Guangnan West Road, many things will be sold.

Zhao Kuo left, after all, he could not leave the palace for too long, but Zhao Kuo did not make any promises to Zhang Yun before leaving.

When Zhang Yun came to her senses, she suddenly realized that she was stupid. Now she was gambling no matter what she did.

He had a bet on Han Tuozhou once, but he felt panicked on Zhao Kuo's side.

"Oh, small gambling is good for love, big gambling is harmful to the body. Damn I am betting on my future, once I lose..." Speaking of this, Zhang Yun stood up and planned to return home.
