Cai Que has been staying in his hometown in Quanzhou for several years. Although he was facing the high pressure of the old party, he didn't dare to speak anymore, but it didn't prevent him from listening with his ears and looking with his eyes. So he knew it more clearly and immediately replied that the reason had nothing to do with the economy this year. The main reason was that the silk price fell in the past few years, the economy was corrupt, and various industries were withering, which led to the transfer of money and silk from the fields again, and the mergers became more and more serious.

In order to make up for their losses, some powerful people continued to merge arable land and increased land rents. Even if the economy improved this year, the life of these lower-level tenants was still very difficult. Moreover, the country was indeed too dense.

Therefore, the court does not need to interfere with the migration of the people, and not to mention the help of the other side to the Song Dynasty. As a large number of tenant farmers migrate, it can alleviate the pressure of dense population and force the powerful to loosen the land rent and benefit the national peace.

In fact, Wang Ju talked about these principles very early, but the little emperor had just taken power, so Cai True had to repeat them again. Zhao Xu trusted Wang Ju even more than his father, so he just issued an edict to ask Wang Ju to come back, but Wang Ju refused on the other side.

By the second year of Shaosheng, Mogus was in great difficulty at this time. The Song Dynasty decisively provided him with a large amount of weapons and supplies, but it could not restore Mogus' decline.

In the third year of Shaosheng, after three years of rest and rest, the Song Dynasty suddenly sent troops to retake Wudu Army and Heishan.

The Khitan sent envoys to ask questions, but Zhao Xu was not polite. He asked in turn why the Liao Kingdom tore up the agreement on alliance, and it was not the first time. When the war between Song and Xia started, the Liao Kingdom sent envoys to blackmail. During the severe drought in Xining, the Liao Kingdom sent envoys to blackmail. When the Yonghe country was in chaos, the Liao Kingdom sent envoys to blackmail and occupied Fengzhou and Shengzhou, forcibly captured thousands of Song Dynasty immigrants elsewhere, without knowing their life and death.

If that's the case, fight, fight.

After negotiations, Zhao Xu announced a war with the Liao Kingdom, and at the same time stopped the so-called Heguo.

But the envoys of the Liao Kingdom did not notice the crisis and continued to be stern.

This is a full-scale war, and some ministers oppose it, and even some of the Gao and Cao families jumped out.

In fact, Zhao Xu was also very dissatisfied with Cao Gao and his family, but because he was a royal relative, Zhao Xu had to endure it. Now, the court immediately sent someone to investigate and deal with some industries of Cao Gao and his family, and confiscated them all, without dealing with any of Cao Gao and his family.

But this is a signal that although you are royal relatives, you are too greedy... So after calculating carefully, the two families gradually fell into the final stage.

At the same time, some small shrimps from the old party were also sorted out, and took this opportunity to demote to the south one by one. The south is a good place, so you can stay there.

So there was no other objection in the court.

In the fourth year of Shaosheng, the Song Dynasty officially announced the recovery of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and the two countries had a feud. However, the Liao Kingdom's national strength declined due to two rebellions in one east and one west, and they faced a terrible opponent, Zhang Shi who had grown up completely. The two countries fought on many battlefields, and the Liao army lost repeatedly. However, Zhang Shi fought steadily and only recovered the Yizhou area, but also won the Zijing Pass and Feihu Pass, which enabled the front lines of Hebei and Hedong areas to be opened.

In the fifth year of Shaosheng, the people of Goryeo heard the relevant news and took advantage of the situation to rob and sent troops to the Liao Kingdom, intending to take the opportunity to capture the southern part of Liao and restore the territory of Goguryeo.

At this time, Wang Ju wrote a letter from the other side, saying that the Goryeo people were not trustworthy. In order to restrain the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty sold half and gave it to the Goryeo people, and almost gave it a large amount of armor. In the first year of Shuozheng, it gave the Goryeo people many benefits. However, while the Goryeo people were getting benefits from the Song Dynasty, they were flirting with the Liao Kingdom, which made Wang Ju feel disgusted for a long time.

The Song Dynasty also obeyed Wang Ju's opinion, stopped using troops, and then sent envoys to re-discuss peace with the Liao Kingdom. The two countries re-divided their territory. Yizhou and Feihu County had to be ceded to the Song Dynasty. Of course, the peace currency would not be given. The Liao Kingdom disagreed and the two countries started to argue again.

In the sixth year of Shaosheng, the Liao Kingdom sent troops to Goryeo. In the autumn, Goryeo surrendered and the Liao army returned. The Song Dynasty allocated a large amount of funds and built nearly a thousand miles of "railways" on the northern front line. This was the technology that the other side had once again in Shenkuo technology. Each locomotive transported a cargo volume of 70 tons, from 40 tons to 70 tons, which was an amazing progress. It involved all aspects of technology, and the other side handed them to the Song Dynasty together.

In the seventh year of Shaosheng, Mogus was defeated. He was captured alive by the Liao Kingdom and executed by the prison. Lu Hui and his subordinates retreated from Liaodong. However, due to years of war, the Liao Kingdom had already made many achievements. In the same year, the other side provided another technology to the Song Dynasty, which was musket, not very advanced rifles, but it was a real flintlock rifle, and a relatively mature flintlock rifle. So the Song Dynasty issued an edict to manufacture and equipment on a large scale.

In the eighth year of Shaosheng, the Song Dynasty once again used troops to the Liao Kingdom. Zhang Qi fought steadily, first captured Zhuozhou, and then besieged Youzhou, intending to surround the points and attack aid. The Liao Kingdom was decisive and sent two large armies to rescue him. Zhang Qi asked Zhe Keshi to block the reinforcements later in Liao Kingdom Mountain at Deshengkou, and then sent the main army to fight with the Liao army in Baiyuhe, northeast of Lu County. Under the command of Zhang Qi, the Song army and the Song army's various sharp new weapons, they shot and captured nearly 100,000 Liao troops alive. Then the Song army turned around and chased the reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom's west.

After receiving the good news from the Eastern Army, the troops from the Hedong Road and the Hexi Road of the Song Dynasty gathered together and launched another attack on the Liao Kingdom Mountain.

In August of the eighth year of Shaosheng, Youzhou surrendered to the Song Dynasty. This battle lasted until the summer of the ninth year of Shaosheng. However, due to the emergence of the railway, the Song Dynasty was able to easily transport materials to the front line. After several major battles, the Liao Kingdom had to withdraw from the pass. In September of that year, the Song Dynasty officially took back all the Yanyun area. Not only the Yanyun area, but also the Yinshan area outside the pass, the Yinshan area of ​​Yunnei Prefecture, the southern part of Fengzhou, the Liao Kingdom in the south of Jiashan, and the Liao Kingdom in the north of Yunzhou, were also taken down by the Song Dynasty. And it failed repeatedly. The Liao Kingdom was already declining, and even feared the forced force of the Song Dynasty, and had to turn its political center to Shangjing.

However, the Song Dynasty did not operate in the north. Although the emergence of gunpowder, flintlock rifles and railways could allow the Song Dynasty to operate a further territory, the military and civilians would have to rest.

Although the armor of the Song Dynasty is now more advanced, the current technology still cannot guarantee that the Han army will gain an overwhelming advantage over the nomadic army. At least the other side of the yellow gunpowder weapon has not been successfully developed.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty stopped to appease the people, and then used the terrain of Yinshan to build the Great Wall and fortress.

The Yellow River has been twisting and twisting. If we follow the original plan of Wang Ju, we will first control the river engineering and then attack the Liao Kingdom. Now that the Yanyun area has been taken back, the river engineering must enter the agenda.

But Yan Yun finally returned to the embrace of the Central Plains, so Zhao Xu pardoned the world.

The people were also excited when they heard this. To be simple, I built a house that can cover up wind and rain and prevent theft, but this door is always occupied by a villain. Can the family feel safe?

This is like the Celestial Empire. Why did the Celestial Empire endure some actions from Myanmar and not for the oil pipe? However, it was really helpless, because Singapore is a pioneer, its annoyingness is far more awesome than Vietnam, and it is almost comparable to Japan. Once a war begins, this small country will inevitably cooperate with the United States and block the Malacca waterway.

Compared with the Central Plains dynasty, the status of Yanyun area is more important than that of the Malacca Strait. It may indicate what the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty’s entry into the pass? If it were not for Li Zicheng, the Qing Dynasty would not have been able to successfully enter the pass for a thousand years!

The people will not care whether the Song Dynasty will restore the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties. At least now I finally feel safe.

Zhao Xu also made a great honor to be a hero, and he ranked Wang Ju as the first, but no one questioned him, even though Wang Ju was always on the other side.

The second is Zhang Dun, who was behind him, but no one questioned it.

Cai Que passed away a few years ago, and Zhang Dun became the prime minister of the country. In recent years, due to continuous wars, Chen Guang has not recovered to the first year of Shuozheng. However, with the efforts of Zhang Dun and Zhang Shangying, the Song Dynasty did not bring heavy burdens to the people because of the war, and at least it could be comparable to that of the early Yuanfeng period. In addition, the Song Dynasty did not prohibit the people from migrating to the other side, and the number of extremely poor people has always maintained a very low proportion. This good rear is the greatest guarantee for the recovery of the Yanyun area.

However, everyone ignored a little. It was not until this time that the struggle between Wang Ju and Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and others was announced to the end. Some old parties were always nailed to the pillar of shame in history and would never turn over.

…………

"The official family has come out," Fei'er said.

Wang Ju raised his head and looked at Xuande Gate Tower. A large group of people walked out of it. They were a little far away and could not see the appearance of each person above, but the yellow clothes in the middle were very eye-catching.

It should be fine. Although it is not as burly as Wang Ju's body, it can at least be compared with Zhao Xu when he was young.

This is good news. If there is no accident, Zhao Xu can live to 40 or 50 years old with his body. Then he can endure the Xiang family in the palace to death.

There is another good news. Zhao Xu had a son born safely and survived. He is now four years old. His mother, Di, is very low-key in the palace. It is rumored that Di did a good job in the harem and was very simple. Moreover, she has three mothers, and there are only two mothers in the palace. Therefore, Di is dealing with the two mothers and has not had much conflict. With Xiang's personality, it is really not easy.

So with such parents, I believe this child will not be too evil when he grows up. At least the future of the Song Dynasty has nothing to do with Zhao Ji.

Zhao Xu seemed to feel something on the city tower and said, "I feel that I am too safe."

Zhang Shangying smiled and said, "If Your Majesty misses Taibao, I will issue another edict to let him return to the Central Plains."

But he thought to himself that even if he issued an edict, Wang Zian would not return to the Central Plains. However, he and everyone thought that Zhao Xu missed Wang Ju, so he said this. It was a prosperous era, and he could not share it with friendly people. How could he not regret it?

But everyone doesn’t like it. Not to mention Wang Ju’s contribution, the prosperous times of the Song Dynasty are almost all created by Wang Ju.

Moreover, if it weren't for Wang Ju's previous teachings, who repeatedly advised Zhao Xu to endure, everyone would doubt whether Zhao Xu could preserve the throne during Yonghe.

I also heard that the court recovered Yan Yun and presented Wang Ju with gifts from the other side. "The Annals of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang". Even now, the territory of the Song Dynasty is still far less than that of the Tang Dynasty. However, unlike the Tang Dynasty, the territory controlled by the Song Dynasty had less than one-tenth of the area of ​​the territorial area, while the territory controlled by the prosperous Tang Dynasty was mostly the territorial area. Therefore, to a certain extent, the Song Dynasty can now be compared with the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Wang Ju sent the Annals of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, with the intention of warning Zhao Xu not to learn from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in his later years. Because the Tang Dynasty became rich and powerful, he was complacent and neglected in political affairs, which led to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.

Many speakers said they were good when they saw this gift.

Wang Ju stayed on the other side again and would not compete for power and profit with them, so everyone was full of admiration for Wang Ju.

Zhao Xu also thought he was thinking randomly and was a little unhappy, but the scenes of the past appeared in his mind.

Erying Pavilion:

"Officers who can be quickly promoted have some outstanding performances. Of course, some officials cannot count on the slanting paths such as flattery and honesty. However, officials who are normally promoted must have some special political achievements, such as loving the people, establishing education, moral education, economy, military, farmland and water conservancy, or other. Then the court deliberately transferred them to officials in their good performance to serve as officials, and it can be seen whether he is truly good at this aspect, and it is also a process of further investigation."

"In this way, the country will gain talents from all aspects, and then put them in a suitable position based on their talents, and all aspects will be greatly cured."

"It's still very difficult..."

"That's of course. It's very difficult for a parent to make the whole family harmonious and prosperous. Besides, the Song Dynasty was a super big master composed of 20 million small families. Your Highness, this is not something you can think about for the time being. I will talk about the way of Emperor Gaozu of Han to control people."

Wang's House:

"I saw Your Majesty safe and sound yesterday, but I will go to the other side soon, so I will prevent it from happening... At that time, please remember two words and endure them. It really doesn't work. Let me read more about the relevant historical books before Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Emperor Wen of Wei ascended the throne."

"But the father..."

"Your Highness, don't worry, so I have said many times that Your Majesty's body is very important, and your body is also important. Why is it important? Please follow me."

"Taibao brought me here. Do you want to say, "The wine and meat are smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road?"

...

"The people in the world are bustling for fame and fortune, just like ministers, not for profit, at least for fame. However, because I have been in a high position for a long time and have a profound influence, not only one person, but also a large group of people behind me. Even if I reach that point, I don't want to do anything. What if the group of people below me wants to do or what someone does, how can I deal with it? Therefore, retreating to the other side is the way to start and end well."

In that alley:

"Dalang, it's done well, but do you know why I asked you to do this?"

"Teacher, I don't know."

"You can regard this wish as a dream. If this dream is just a piece of sweet cake, a new Ju, a pair of Ju shoes, and a new clothes, it is easy to realize, but this dream is a great general, it is difficult to realize. First, you need to have opportunities, second, you need to work hard, ten times more than ordinary people, third, you must dare to fight bloody battles with the enemy, fourth, you must have talent, so that you can stand out from hundreds of thousands of imperial guards and become a famous general. This is just a general, if this dream..."

"Your Highness, this dream is to create a powerful country in the future. It will be so difficult to make hundreds of trillions of people live and work in peace and make the enemy country frightened. Just like your father, he worked diligently all his life, but he has not yet won the Western Xia and is still afraid of the Khitan. Do you understand what I mean?"

...

"Your Highness, what have you learned through this example?"

"Most people dream very ordinary, so there are many mediocre people."

"It's right, there's something else."

"If you want to have extraordinary future, you must have great dreams when you are young, so Zhuangzi said, how can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"

"Your Highness is right, but why do you call it a dream, not an ideal?"

"It is not easy to make a difference in life. Just like there are a million scholars in our dynasty, and there are hundreds of thousands of scholars participating in the imperial examinations in each term. They all want to pass the imperial examinations, but in fact, only two or three hundred Jinshi will be admitted to each term. Even during the time of Renzong, the imperial examinations were released, and the number of people in each term will not exceed one thousand. There is also the dream of that young man to be a general. I can understand this way that his generals mostly refer to a general. However, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in our dynasty, but only more than three hundred generals, plus other senior military officials, only five hundred people. So it is extremely difficult to achieve this dream. Your Highness, do you still remember Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao?"

"Remember, the thief!"

"They are indeed thieves, but if they do not defect to Xixia and continue to stay in our court, can our court give them their talents?"

"Historical books say that talented people will eventually be out of pocket. Of course, those rare talents in the ages, no matter what system or environment, will eventually be out of pocket. However, first-class talents may not have the ability. Since ancient times, there have been too many people who have not met talent! Even if a talent like Han Xin had not met Xiao He, they would have become a common person. But how many talents can there be today with Han Xin?"

"If you want to realize your dream, if you lack the qualifications, no matter how hard you work, you will never achieve your dream. However, with talent and effort, you will not be able to achieve your dreams. However, with talent and hard work, you will not be able to realize your dreams. This road is too difficult... Just like your father and ministers, you want to work hard for the rise of the Song Dynasty. Your Majesty is the king of a country, the king of the world, the ministers are the prime ministers of the current dynasty, and you will be valued by Your Majesty. However, in this way, in internal affairs, Your Majesty and I dare not deeply engage in annexation, and in martial arts, you dare not say how hard your Majesty has it been..."

"By the way, Jie Fu wrote an article called "Shen Zhongyong."

"Your Highness, yes, that Zhongyong is the best example. He has talent, but if he doesn't work hard, he can't pass the first level. However, even if he works hard, he may not be able to do something in the future. He still needs opportunities. But if he has opportunities, he has to face the following level and persevere! Without perseverance, those who fall early are like Emperor Yang of Sui, and those who fall late are like Emperor Minghuang of Tang."

"There is nothing like a tree and a valley in a year; nothing like a tree in a decade; nothing like a tree in a lifetime? "

"Not bad, ten years of trees, and hundreds of years of trees."

Although many years have passed, these earnest teachings have been echoing in his ears, making him feel warm and nostalgic.

Looking at the people calling out to the mountains below, Zhao Xu suddenly murmured: "Teacher, I miss you so much."

Wang Ju couldn't hear it. He looked around and saw that the square in front of Xuande Gate was filled with dense crowds of people singing and dancing, and many people kept shouting long live the mountains.

He smiled and said, "Let's go."

This time, the whole family has left the Central Plains for too long and they all want to come back to see it. In addition, they have to marry the Li family’s young lady back. However, his work is very low-key, and governments in various places have not heard of his return.

Then he heard that the court intended to hold a grand lantern festival in front of Xuande Gate on the Lantern Festival, so the whole family came to the capital again.

A large group of people gradually squeezed out of the crowd, and suddenly some roar came from behind.

Wang Ju turned around and looked at it. Countless gorgeous fireworks rose to the sky, as if thousands of trees were blooming in the night sky. The early spring wind blew, bringing intoxicating fragrance...

ps: The new book contract has been sent to Qidian today. This book has been conceived since the winter of the previous year. At least the idea will be clear, so you can only take a look. Although it is a fairy tale, the background of several large maps is from six Chinese history and three European history. Some important figures can also find their prototypes in history. I believe you will also like it. It was just uploaded and is also the time when you need support the most, so you are shameless and beg everyone to collect it and vote for the recommendation votes in your hand. Link:.qidian./bk/

Finally, I have to say that I finally finished the book. This book is so miserable that I don’t even believe it myself, so I lost the motivation to code. Even after I get it, I would rather stop the update, but I don’t have the motivation to upload it. But no matter how I stop the update, I have some book friends to subscribe immediately every time I upload it. Lao Wu is a person with a very positive outlook, a kind and honest person. Lao Wu is really grateful to everyone for his unyielding support. Thank you, thank you!
