"Chief Yuan, what major crises do you think I will have in the future?"

"The gateway of Youyun is densely populated, annexed and political disputes." Cai Jing replied.

Cai Que, especially Cai Jing put the Youyun Portal first. Wang Ju also deliberately mentioned this before leaving the capital. The idea of ​​not being able to attack Youyun Sixteen Prefectures for the time being does not mean that he doesn't want it. Unless the capital is moved to Luoyang, that is impossible.

To put it bluntly, it would be safer to place the capital in Beijing than to place the capital in Kaifeng, which is not at risk.

But Cai Que added: "There is another crisis, the crisis of ethnic groups."

The ethnic policies of previous dynasties were mostly Zhuge Liang's policies. At most, some border guards were placed, and then a proxy was supported, and he would govern the border areas of various ethnic minorities.

It was indeed successful in Zhuge Liang's hands, but it only took Shu Kingdom a long time to establish it.

On the contrary, later history proved the mistakes of this policy. The best example is that the Tang Dynasty supported the Mengshe family in Nanzhao, and then swallowed the fruit that was so bitter.

The Song Dynasty was better, but it was not that it did well before the Song Dynasty. Look at how many banished areas there were in the Song Dynasty before. That's it. There was also the Nong Zhigao rebellion, and various barbarian areas kept invading and looting. Of course, if the Han people were low-ranking people, they were treated as slaves of others, slaughtered and looted, it could also be said that these barbarian areas kept revolting.

These living examples have proved that the original policy is inappropriate.

Now most ministers have also recognized Wang Ju's policy of changing land and returning to the land, but it does not mean that it is a perfect policy.

It seems that the south is not bad now, and Jiaozhi has become an important reserve granary. Dali continues to provide Guangnan, Jingnan and Bashu with large livestock and war horses in these areas. Wumeng has copper mines. Later, some mines were discovered one after another, including the gold and silver mines that were also scarce in the Song Dynasty. Now there is a land trade road leading to Tianzhu.

However, in general, because these areas are relatively poor and inconvenient transportation, the imperial court made profits, but it did not make much profit. But in the past, how much did the imperial court spend and how much did the other side support it?

It would be fine if there was nothing to do, but if the nation handled it improperly and a large-scale rebellion would be incurred, no profit would be left.

It’s not just the south, but now it’s the south. In the future, there are Dangxiang people, Fan people, Uighurs, and inexplicable races in the north and south Hetao.

If the Song Dynasty had the ability to take back Yanyun, there would inevitably be some Tatars, Xi and Khitans in its territory.

Therefore, this ethnic issue is becoming more and more important.

But Cai Jing was suspicious in his eyes. I am in charge of Sinong Temple. What ethnic group are you talking about?

What you want is his Sinong Temple!

When Wang Ju proposed to transfer Lu Dafang back, Cai Que thought about the candidates to replace him. The recaptured Nanfang Sanlu and Jiaozhi Road were a little better. Almost all the original people were killed or driven away by Wang Ju. Most of the remaining people were originally on the side of the Song Dynasty. There were either some people who escaped or returned, but the number of people was small and they could not cause any storm.

The two roads of Dali are different. Not only now, but in the next ten years, there will be no problems. Otherwise, the light will be like Bashu, and the heavy will be the second Nanzhao.

Therefore, the candidates for the two leaders are undoubtedly very cautious.

The two of them thought about this candidate. After thinking about it, Wang Ju suddenly thought of Cai Jing.

Wang Ju had to admit that this person really had some ability and didn’t know how to get along. He became the head of Sinong Temple. How important was Sinong Temple since the reform!

So Wang Ju suggested that Cai Jing, otherwise when the old and new changes in the future, Cai Jing would not be able to move to the old party again. It would be better to bring him to the south and put his mind on some unruly barbarian chiefs.

As for what kind of virtue Cai Jing will become in the future, it will take a long time to wait, and Wang Ju can't control it anymore.

Cai Que continued: "Then the court transferred Lv Dafang back to the capital, and I want to replace him with the emperor."

Cai Jing's face was a little unnatural. Both leaders of Yunnan also had the position of appeasement and strategic commander. In fact, his power was far better than that of the magistrates or prefects of other states. However, Cai Jing is now sentenced to the Si Temple, which is only equivalent to the transfer of the same level. However, one is an official in Beijing and the other is an official in the distant southwest. Cai Jing was not very happy.

Cai Que also saw the changes on his face and said lightly: "This is also recommended by Taibao to me. He values ​​you very much."

"Oh" Cai Jing was surprised. Don't say that Wang Ju will go to the other side in the future. In fact, this is a wonderful step. If you continue to stay in the Song Dynasty after the victory, because of fear, the court will most likely hide the entire bow of Wang Ju Bi, but if you go to the other side, you will take a step back and broaden the sky and still have a huge influence on the Song Dynasty. Unless the two sides no longer have navigation communication, Cai Jing thought of some things and asked: "Mr. Cai, I heard about it."

"Zheng Yuan, don't think too much, you will see the truth soon."

They are all smart people, so there is no need to say more, Cai Jing surrendered.

So the court issued an edict, asking Cai Jing to go to Dali, and judged Wang Cun as Sinong Temple. Strictly speaking, Wang Cun was also an old party, but had a gentle personality.

In fact, Cai Que made many personnel arrangements later, including being promoted to many influential figures in the old party. However, one of the most important prerequisites is that he has a gentle personality and does not have much hostility.

Looking at the crowd of people who were cheering on both sides, Zhong Shidao was also envious. The official, the one who didn't want to have such influence in the hearts of the people.

Of course, in terms of influence in the hearts of the people, even during Wang Ju's entire career, he reached the extreme.

Wang Ju rode on the horse, kept bowing to the people, and then came to the prefecture with Zhuan Shidao. Although the Song Dynasty pushed the front line to Yinzhou and Xiaoguan, due to the constraints of transportation costs, Qingzhou still became the main force in the destruction of Xia again.

"It's still the same." Wang Ju came to the front of the state yamen and said, but it was normal. In ancient times, the construction of an official yamen was still the most taboo thing for officials. Unless it was really in rags, they would not build an yamen.

The group walked into the prefecture.

"Taibao, this is a secret letter from Mr. Cai to you."

Wang Ju opened the letter and only wrote one thing on it, that is, the Song Dynasty had already sold half-sold and half-delivered land to send a large number of armor to Goryeo.

In fact, it is impossible to defeat the Liao Kingdom by replacing all the Goryeo armour with the new style of Song Dynasty. However, the winning and losing factor is increased bit by bit, but this is a one-step flying man. Wang Ju dares not say how much role it can play.

He put down the letter, and Zhong Shidao said again: "Taibao, Lanzhou also sent an urgent report to you for the officials."

Wang Ju took it apart and said in surprise: "Hei Shan sent troops?"

"Hei Han?" Zhong Shidao was also a little surprised. He couldn't help but glance at the newspaper. It was sent by Wang Wenyu, and a message was written on it. Hei Han suddenly sent troops to Shazhou. Wang Wenyu was not clear about the specific situation. After all, it was too far away. I'm afraid that this news was leaked by the Xixia people, and the scouts of the Song Dynasty found out.

"Taibao, has Heihan sent an envoy to contact us?"

There are several reasons why Black Sweat sent troops to Xixia, and this is the best reason.

In the past, Hei Khan sent envoys to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty many times, but this tribute cannot be taken seriously. In fact, Hei Khan truly regarded it as the superior country, but the Liao Kingdom. However, because the two did not conflict, Hei Khan had no evil relationship with the Song Dynasty.

Perhaps seeing that the Song Dynasty was really sure to destroy Xia this time, Hei Han sent troops to help.

If this is the case, they will send envoys to Huangzhou to inform Zhongyi.

However, no, Wang Ju shook his head.

"Did Hei Khan have a huge conflict with Xixia?"

"No, no news was heard on the front line, and at this time, Xixia would not have conflicts with Hei Khan."

"Taibao, is the Western Regions cold at this time?"

"The weather over there is different from Shaanxi Road. It is hot during the day and cold at night, but at this time, it is still very cold."

"That's a little bit bad."

If these are not the two situations, there are two other possibilities.

One is to take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to gain benefits. Just like Dong Wen, whenever the Song army fought with Xixia, he immediately sent troops to Liangzhou, Lanzhou to gain benefits. The Song Dynasty also knew and supported this, after all, it more or less restrained the power of Xixia.

If this is the case, there is no big problem.

What I am afraid of is the last possibility, which is to take the opportunity to invade the western part of the Hexi Corridor.

If the Song Dynasty took the lead in occupying this area, there was a period of Gaochang Uighurs that were far away from the west, and the Gaochang Uighurs could not threaten the Song Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom would block its own fortune and the possibility of Juyan Hainan going south was not high, because the cost was too high and the deterioration of the water and soil in the Western Regions would gradually calm down, and the entire Hexi Corridor would return to the embrace of the Central Plains dynasty.

But if the Black Khan took the lead in occupying Shazhou, Guazhou and Suzhou would have created a certain fact. In addition, most of this area were Uighurs, and it would be difficult for the Song Dynasty to take it back. Either they had to use force to go to war with the Black Khan army, which undoubtedly added many variables.

And the time is not right. It is the end of February now. I think the news has been in Wang Wenyu's hands for a while.

This means that the black sweat is still sent in the first month of the year. It is when the weather is cold and the earth is frozen. Even if the black sweat is all cavalry, it is still necessary to transport it. In such weather, how difficult it is to transport it!

So this is a premeditated rapid surprise attack.

Wang Ju thought for a long time and said, "Order the arrest."

"Duan Tianshui, what did you see?" Cai Que pointed to the map and asked.

The map is a map on both sides of the Qiantang River, up to the Wusong River, west to Hangzhou, east to the sea.

Duan Tianshui was confused for a moment and said carefully: "Mr. Cai, is it water conservancy?"

"Why is water conservancy?"

"The southeast is at the beginning, but the salt official tide is the suffering of the southeast," Duan Tianshui replied hesitantly. No matter how the Qiantang tide harms Liangzhe Road, what does it have to do with him, a little man. Wang Ju also criticized the Southeast officials and said one thing, that is, the Qiantang River is bound by the terrain tide, and the overall trend is to rise south and collapse north.

Because of this, the Qiantang River was diverted three times during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially to the west of Haiyan Jinniu Mountain, which moved north dozens of miles, turning a straight trumpet into a phoenix neck and a phoenix mouth shape, and a tide of turning back.

However, it is still necessary to treat it. Wang Ju wrote about Wu Yue's method of cage stones to block tides, and also deliberately wrote about the fish scale pond.

Just writing about this trend will provide a long-term direction for local officials to govern the trend.

It is indeed impossible to have a relationship with Duan Tianshui. Cai Que just asked casually to see what their visions had.

“Continue.”

"Tao Gong, Caomin has never been to the southeast and has no understanding of the local situation."

"Zhang Jian, then what did you see again?"

"This" another thin middle-aged man was a little hesitant. Just this map is obviously centered on Qiantang River. Apart from water conservancy, what else can I do? Or the hometown of fish and rice, the hometown of fish and rice is now Husu, but not on this map! Or it is a local business, but if it is a business, there must also be Huzhou and Suzhou.

He stared at the map, looked for a while, suddenly he saw a place and said, "Is it the Maritime Department?"

"Yeah" Cai Que became interested: "Tell me and see."

"Tao Gong, now the map of the Maritime Warriors is getting heavier in our dynasty, but these Maritime Warriors each have their own shortcomings. Although the Guangzhou Maritime Warriors are based on the trend of the southern river, they are only radiating Lingnan, which is too far away from the Central Plains. The imperial court newly established the Jiaozhi Maritime Warriors, and the area of ​​radiating is even smaller. Because of the mountainous land of Fujian Road, many people were forced to engage in merchants to make a living. As a result, Quanzhou Port came from behind, but the range of radiating is even more limited. Mizhou Port is located in the north, but there is no large rivers connected to it. Although it is not as good as rivers and rivers, it is still very difficult to find a place to be a good place.

In the north, however, the cost of trying to get goods to the capital was still very high. Therefore, the Hangzhou Maritime Warehouse Department was found, but due to the harm of the salt tide, the ship was inconvenient to travel, and accidents occurred from time to time. Therefore, the imperial court established the Ganpu Maritime Warehouse Department in Xiuzhou, which was still a tide. Therefore, the Maritime Warehouse Department was established in Mingzhou, but the Mingzhou Maritime Warehouse Department wanted to transfer the goods to the inland, and had to transfer from Cixi to Yuyao, then from Yuyao River to Shangyu, and then from the canal to Hangzhou. The cost was also very high."

These defects do exist, but the court has no good idea.

You can't set up Suzhou Port. You should know that the Yangtze River is not the Yangtze River in later generations, especially below Yangzhong, and its width is nearly twice as wide as that in later generations.

The wider the wave, the bigger the tide, just like the Amazon River. Because the estuary in the sea is too wide, the tide is almost the same as the Qiantang River. In addition, strong winds and waves mean that in the Song Dynasty, from Yangzhong to Yangzhong, the Yangtze River was not a good place to stop ships. Therefore, the Grand Canal was directly inserted into Zhenjiang in southern Suzhou, rather than entering the Yangtze River from Suzhou to Yangzhou and then reaching Yangzhou.

If you are not afraid of trouble, the sea boat can still go up, but that means there is no way to inspect it.
