In the past few months, many major events have happened in the world. The Song Dynasty army seized Hanzhong and took Chengdu. The chief evilman Wang Weixiao was executed. The Privy Councilor of the Mongol Yuan was assassinated outside the city. The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat Li Qian dismissed from office and left Beijing sadly. The third prince Tiemur, who was a stake in the Song Dynasty, fled back to Dadu... etc. These things can be said to have caused political storms again and again in the Mongolian Yuan, but after the Song Dynasty had only a "good guy" discussed it, these major events disappeared.

The most talked about in the streets and alleys of Lin'an was that the court in September welcomed the coffin of Emperor Jingyan and buried it in the Shaoxing imperial tomb. The emperor of the dynasty personally mourned and led all the ministers to welcome the spirits. The construction of the old palace has come to an end. A Mingtang was built on the former site of the original Daqing Hall, the Taimiao has been completed, and the Hening Gate has also been renovated and the city tower has been raised. The outside of the door has been leveled and expanded into a square with a length of 500 steps from east to west and 300 steps from north to south.

When people were discussing the construction of the imperial city and whether the emperor would move back to the old imperial city, they came from the Secretariat, the Monks and the Privy Council of the Menxia Province all moved into the courtyards in the Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate of the Old Palace, and the temple supervisors under the provinces also moved into the vacant houses. The emperor still stayed in the Yuande Deshou Palace and would not move into the old palace. There was only a back hall built in the Yuande Palace so that His Majesty could visit the matter in person.

However, what people talked about most about these unattainable things is whether the major workshops belonging to the royal family will still recruit workers next spring. Now everyone knows that the workshops belonging to the royal family not only have high salaries but do not owed them. A person who has worked there for five years can basically support a family of five, and is the lowest-level apprentice, and the money earns enough for two people to live. It is said that those masters earn more salaries than a magistrate.

Welfare benefits are also excellent. You only work for five hours a day, and you will get a raise for overtime. You will also be given a "work wear" every four seasons, so you can save some clothes and don't have to buy clothes a year. There are two working meals at work, and it is not limited to the amount. If you are far away, you will arrange for dormitory living in the dormitory. If you work for more than ten years, the workshop will also allocate a small courtyard for your family to live with, and only charge a small rent per month.

In addition, it is said that there are many strange machinery in the Royal Workshop that can replace manpower, and the work is relatively easy. And as long as you do it well, you will be promoted. Unlike those small workshops, you still work hard and work hard. If you want to be a shop owner, you can only do it yourself. With all the benefits, going to the Royal Workshop has become a good thing that many people dream of, but it is not easy to get into it. Generally speaking, there are three channels:

First, you are admitted to a technical school run by a workshop, and after studying for two years, you can directly be assigned to each workshop to work, skip the apprenticeship, and directly receive salary. Second, soldiers who retire from the army will be recruited first, and they are often given priority when promoting their positions. Third, you are participating in the annual recruitment of the workshop, but only the strength is not enough. Those who are literate will be easier.

However, it is precisely because of the generous treatment of the Royal Workshop that some small workshops are difficult to recruit good craftsmen. In order to retain people, they can only follow the policy of the Royal Workshop and offer high salaries. Compared to the past, they had to be apprentices. Not only did they work in vain, but they would not get a penny, but they also had to be beaten and get angry. The owners were much more polite, worried that the people they recruited would just become apprentices, and they would go to the Royal Workshop in a blink of an eye.

It is now said that the emperor is preparing to expand the workshop. He built a weaving factory in Yangzhou and Xiangyang, specializing in the production of expensive cotton cloth. Some wealthy families with private wealth thought it was profitable, so they went to Huaidong and Huaixi to buy land to prepare for planting cotton. Now they have begun to recruit people, and the conditions offered are very generous.

Of course, in addition to entering the workshop, the Royal Family has many industries, which can be used as sailors in the sea caravan, farming in the Royal Manor, etc. It is said that the income is also quite high. Some people have also seized the needs of the workshop and can undertake some procurement, rough processing and transportation work from them, and can also make a lot of profits. Some people follow the Royal Family Family, and wherever they build factories, they also buy land in the surrounding areas; wherever the fleet goes, they will follow them together immediately...

Faced with the great changes in the Mongolian and Yuan court, Zhao Bing also thought that in addition to digging a pit and adding fuel to the fire, the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty suffered consecutive military failures and economic difficulties were all political failures. To be precise, their failure in the transformation from nomadic culture to Central Plains culture was actually a failure of traditional Confucian ideology.

After Zhao Bing took power in the Song Dynasty, he kept making changes, using what he knew in his previous life to explore and change the current lifeless situation. He introduced modern management methods in military and administrative aspects, subtly influenced the people around him, and used his power to make the courtiers actively or passively accept their ideas, and eliminate and attack those who are in conflict.

Economically, while promoting agricultural recovery, Zhao Bing is also vigorously developing industry and commerce, and using scientific and technological means to promote it. After so many years of development, Zhao Bing has used the power of capital to adjust the industrial structure and development direction and has achieved considerable results. Although it is hard to say that it has brought the Song Dynasty into the budding state of capitalism, at least the seeds have been planted.

However, the Mongol Yuan was still arguing about going left or right, which involved the entire upper class and led to social unrest. After Zhen Jin came to power, he tried to implement comprehensive sinicization, but his supporters and main staff were all so-called traditional pure scholars. Faced with the ever-changing Song Dynasty, their ideological concepts and knowledge structure prevented them from making rational judgments about the Song Dynasty, which led to frequent mistakes in the issue of war and harmony.

Zhao Bing believed that after eliminating the differences in political views, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, whether it was real gold, Boyan, Li Qian, An Tong and Sang Ge were all in charge of the war. After losing Jiangnan, both from financial considerations, military failures and national interests, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty thought that this was a great shame. Of course, there were also people who understood it. Boyan knew that with his current ability, he could not stand everyone's war and had to fight.

The traditional pure and simple scholars admired the great sages of the previous dynasty, and uphold the idea of ​​"reading and tempering, being strict with oneself, treating others respectfully, bearing the grace of the country, and being lustful in the world". They are often honest and loyal to the country, and even those who oppose their political propositions are difficult to criticize him from these aspects. Therefore, even if the two factions have differences and struggles, they are actually unified in their propositions.

However, there is always a gap between ideas and reality. The Mongolian Yuan actually faced a new Song that was constantly improving in thought and technology, rather than the weak and lame Song that used to be. Now Boyan and Li Qian have both become victims of defeat. It is unknown whether the political direction of the Mongolian Yuan will turn around and retreat or continue to move forward. Under the historical conditions of the country's peril, the old scholars and officials could no longer assume the protagonist of political change, and they have been flooded by the torrent of history.

The previous wave was photographed on the beach, and the next wave was not to be underestimated. Zhao Bing always felt that the political elites trained in the old system had a poor understanding of new knowledge and new knowledge, but they really had some tricks in identifying people and things. It is reported that before leaving, Li Qian recommended Li Siyan to join the Secretariat, and the real gold agreed. When the two sides met, they were worried about whether the Confucius and Mencius's way could really resist the real gold of the powerful ships and cannons, so they were kept underestimated by their own set of words that had risen again on the same day. They were now appointed as the Minister of State for Political Affairs.

Li Siyan came into Zhao Bing's sight because he came to Song Hexi as an envoy. As he knew, the plan to exchange Sichuan for Nanyang and Kaifeng was from him to end the war between the two sides as soon as possible. The Langzhong incident was also the one who came to deal with the aftermath. Of course, he was not a errand this time, but was presided over the aftermath as the full envoy of the Mongol Yuan Khan.

This time, Li Siyan came to Song, first of all, to trigger a war between the two sides for the provocation of Wang's family, destroying peace talks, and admits that it was his own mistake. But instead expressed indignation for the Song Dynasty's imprisonment of Tiemur and the cross-border "assassination" of Boyan, demanding that the Song Dynasty provide explanations and compensation, and deal with the responsible person, giving an explanation to the Mongolian Yuan.

This is obviously a behavior of turning things around and unreasonable disruption, but Zhao Bing thought that Li Siyan's seemingly stupid behavior was actually very clever. Tiemur was originally staying in Lin'an as a hostage who carried out peace talks by the Mongolian Yuan. They first destroyed the agreement and refused to hand over Xichuan, attacked the Song army, and imprisoned them for granting it. As for Boyan's killing, it was originally a headless case, and it was nonsense to prove it was done by the Song Dynasty. If there was no basis, just open your mouth.

But Li Siyan proposed this in public on the grounds, which would have another meaning. He admitted that the cause of the incident was his own, but you then imprisoned our prince and assassinated important officials of the court. That was your fault. In this way, you could turn passive into initiative and be on an equal position with the Song Dynasty in subsequent negotiations. Since everyone was wrong, some would discuss it.

In the subsequent negotiations, Li Siyan indeed fought hard based on this, proposing that the Mongol Yuan give up Hanzhong as a deliberation for the transaction between the two parties, and urged the Wang family to withdraw from Xichuan and no longer pursue the economic and military losses caused to it by the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was not allowed to occupy the prefectures and counties on the north bank of the Han River such as Junzhou, and hold Tiemur responsible for fleeing back to the Mongol without authorization.
