Yun Zheng actually didn't want to fight with Yelu Hongji. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

His countless subordinates followed him to get a wive, not to follow him to die.

The purpose of the Great Song Dynasty is to Yanyun Land, not necessarily to clear the Liao State, the wise bigwigs in the court have formed a consensus that the Great Song Dynasty needs a weak Liao State to act as a buffer zone between the Great Song Dynasty and those northern barbarians.

Nowadays, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty have gone completely crazy in order to sell their goods to more distant places.

They have already been to places that the Great Song army did not dare to set foot in easily, whether it is the snow-covered Tubo Plateau, or the Haizi in the north, which freezes every year, or the places where the dark-skinned barbarians live in the far south.

The farther you go, the greater the harvest, this is the consensus of the Great Song Dynasty businessmen.

In some places, a ceramic spoon can be exchanged for the finest pearl, a fire sickle for fire, or even the most perfect black and white Tiger skin of the Arctic North.

The price they paid for these precious goods was also bloody, and nowadays, it would be a strange argument for a caravan that traveled long distances without a few fierce guards.

In the Great Song Dynasty, there were many prodigals, as long as they were unwilling to stay at home to farm, do business, or work, they would be named a prodigal by their neighbors.

Their lives are humble, and no one cares what kind of life they live, only that every time they return to their hometown, they bring back a lot of wealth and some magical legends.

It was these prodigals who brought the news from afar back to the Great Song Dynasty, and after being sorted out by the bigwigs in the court, a map of the world gradually appeared in front of them from vague to clear, and they knew that in the far north, there were still groups of wild wolf-like races, and there were still cannibals on the farthest islands in the south.

Outside the bustling world of the Great Song Dynasty, there are also large areas of wild land.

There were herds of lions and tigers roaming in those wild places. Pythons the size of a water tank meandered through the jungle, knowing that there were groups of barbarians who could live in such a harsh environment.

If there is a baby, you should hold it tightly in your arms, if you have a baby, you should tie the fence of the house more firmly, and if you have a baby, you should send the bravest soldiers to watch the home.

The bigwigs of the DPRK and China have put a lot of effort into this. They developed a very feasible blueprint for the development of the Great Song Dynasty.

That is, the north defends the south and the south attacks!

It doesn't make much sense to get more land in the north, where the weather is too cold for farming, and the meek sheep-like farmers of the Great Song Dynasty cannot survive in such a harsh and harsh natural environment.

There are not only countless beasts but also countless fierce barbarians, and the fierce barbarians will even fight for a bite to eat. A piece of clothing will attack the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and even if the probability of snatching food and clothes is less than one percent, they will not hesitate to launch a suicidal attack.

As for the vast south, the climatic conditions are so much better that in some places it is even called paradise.

According to some maritime merchants, on the southern islands, people do not need clothes at all to survive, if in order to maintain a little dignity, it is enough to wear a calf nose pants around the waist at most, and too many clothes are simply a burden.

If thirsty. There are countless springs on the ground to quench your thirst, and if you are hungry, you only need to raise your arm to pick countless delicious fruits, and in the Great Song Dynasty, the golden plantain is nothing more than food for monkeys.

If you want to make some money, you only need to fish a few beautiful stones from the river in your spare time to find the merchants of the Song people in exchange for enough money.

The rice grows like weeds there, and they sprout on their own without taking care of it. Heading, ripening, what people need to do is to take scissors to cut the fullest ears of grass and drill an eye in the bamboo tube. After pouring the rice into it, adding water, and baking it on the fire, a meal of snow-white bamboo rice will be placed in front of you.

The spices were used as firewood by the cowardly barbarians of the South, the fine jade was built into the walls as stone, and the houses made of countless precious woods that exuded a charming smell were but primitive shacks......

In light of this. Who has the time to fight the fierce northern barbarians for the most useless land? If there were the same forces under the command of the most wise generals of the Great Song Dynasty, at this time, the place that Bai Fan could reach would have already become the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

In view of this, why should we put the wisest commanders, the toughest warriors, and the wisest ministers in the north, where there is nothing to produce except cattle and sheep?

We only need Yanyun, we only need the Great Wall, we just need to make those northern barbarians promise never to attack us, it's enough!

The enemies that can endanger the Great Song Dynasty are all in the north, we just need to follow the example of Qin Shi Huang and surround our homeland with a strong Great Wall, as for the barbarians outside the Great Wall, they will fight and die with them, and the noble warriors of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be consumed in the north in vain.

If they went to the south, they could pacify all the unrulings in an instant, and they could win more wealth for the Great Song Dynasty in the shortest time.

When there was a strong Great Wall in the north as a barrier, and when the South China Sea became the inland sea of the Great Song Dynasty, who else in the world could oppose such a rich Great Song Empire? Guozuo nature is eternal for ten thousand years!

"What you said are all the meanings that Jinke Zhuangyuan Zhaoyuan Wang Junmin wrote on the excerpt of the matter?" The tired Wen Yanbo opened his eyes and closed them again when he looked at Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng nodded and said: "These things that this person said are not groundless, but have a factual basis, Zhaoyuan is in Dengzhou, where there are many maritime merchants, it is almost certain that this person has gone to the South China Sea with a sea ship, and even the South China Sea." ”

Wang Anshi frowned and said: "Among the three of us, only Yunhou has been to the south in person, do you say that what this person said in his compromises is true?"

Where in the world does not get something for nothing must be nonsense. ”

Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "It's really not nonsense, some of the southernmost islands are indeed what people say, and even more than that!" ”

Wen Yanbo opened his eyes suddenly, patted the table majestically, and said: "Even if there is, it is a very small range, if I only have 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of people in the Great Song Dynasty, the old man will definitely ask His Majesty to move south."

But now that the population of my Great Song Dynasty is about to exceed 10,000, can it be said that the entire south can really accommodate such a large number of people?

How is this not a lie? ”

Wang Anshi sneered: "Reconnect to the Great Wall of the North? Does he know how long the Great Wall of the North is? Since the Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall, the Han, Tang Dynasty, and often repaired it, and there was no boundless trouble at that time?

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the barbarian chieftains led the army commanders to drive straight in, and all roads collapsed, and they couldn't do anything. It can be seen that the only way to defend the country is to cultivate virtue and secure the people. If the people are happy, the state will be good, and the border will be self-consolidated, and the so-called 'united as one' is also.

If the Great Wall in the north is damaged, if you want to build it now, how can it harm the people? And the Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, how can it be defended by raising troops?"

Wen Yanbo also followed: "The old man thinks that offense is the best defense, and it is necessary to beat the barbarians outside the territory once, and beat them to the pain, so that they can remember it for a long time and dare not peep at my border, which is the way to long-term peace and stability." ”

Yun Zheng put down the paperwork in his hand and said with a smile: "The reason why I invited the two of you back from outside is to discuss this national policy of defending the north and attacking the south.

In fact, in my opinion, what this person said is not unreasonable, the wealth of the South China Sea, the two of you have not been there, naturally do not know, I have seen it with my own eyes, so my eyes are tight.

It would be a big mistake for Duke Wen to think that the south is just a small land, but it is only a Java island, which is larger than the Central Plains. ”

Wen Yanbo immediately squirted out a sip that he had just drunk, and coughed for a long time before he looked at Yun Zheng in horror and said, "Is Yun Hou's words true?" ”

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "What do you think I am doing giving up my official position on land?" If it weren't for the innumerable wealth and land on the sea, would you really think that I would want to climb on the mast with a knife in my mouth and be a pirate? (To be continued.) )
