The scene Zhao Huan saw made him a little teary-eyed.

There are a lot of wastes in the Great Song Dynasty, but there is no shortage of hot-blooded people, at least the students who appear in front of him now are all Wenchen and students who make Zhao Huan's heart warm.

"Meet the officials." Zhao Ding, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che, the two of them walked into the Wende Hall in Yanjing, hurriedly saluted, and with the help of Shen Cong, they took off the clothes on their bodies.

Zhao Huan waved his hand, and Zhao Ying and the other eunuchs quickly moved out three stools and sat down for Zhao Ding, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che.

This Zhao Ying is really getting more and more eye-catching.

"It's good to take a break." Zhao Huan nodded with satisfaction.

These three people organized more than 100 ministers and students in the court and Tai Academy, and came to Yanjing.

"Good!" Zhao Huan patted Zhao Ding vigorously and said.

"The will of the minister!" Zhao Ding arched his body and said with a smile: "The monarch envoy is courteous, and the minister is loyal." The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman. The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard him as his heart. ”

Zhao Huan laughed, there is another sentence after this sentence, the king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy.

This is the reason why Mencius is not very liked by the emperor, he has a lot of words, which make the people in power very uncomfortable, but Zhao Huan did not care about the subtext in Zhao Ding's words.

The Central Plains Dynasty has a very strange and strange fate that cannot be escaped.

The more capable the emperor is, the greater the imperial power, and the greater the imperial power, the more fearful the courtiers will become, so that no one dares to speak out.

By his side, there are now Li Gang, Yuwen Xuzhong and Zhao Dingken who say against themselves, which is a good thing.

Zhao Huan laughed and said: "I will give you Zhao Ding, the 20,000 people of the Hejian army, all of whom are under the command of Liu Jing and his entourage." ”

"Go to Zhenzhou (now Gukedun City, northeast of Hadasan in the upper reaches of the Orkhon River in Mongolia), and control Zhaozhou, Victoria, and Fangzhou."

"Mubei Road recruits the location of the Sizhou Mansion, and a total of nine people from the Damiri Department, the Yelu Department, and the Dadan Department."

"Ouyang Che, you take the 30,000 people of the Yongding Army and the 30,000 reserve army of the Hejian Army, and they all command Fu Xuan to accompany you."

"Go to Jingbian City (near Manzhouli City, Inner Mongolia), Hedong City, and the Tatars may go south at any time, you must remember to be careful, they are very powerful."

"There are about twenty Khitans there, but they are all old and weak, and you need to be responsible for persuading the herdsmen, and the entire Wugu Enemy Lie Commander Army Division is under your jurisdiction."

After Zhao Huan finished speaking, he took a sip of water, and said so much in one breath, it was strange that he was not thirsty.

In fact, in the vast desert grassland, the Khitan people are mainly concentrated in these two places.

And the most important Zhenzhou Zhao Huan sent Zhao Ding.

Because the royal family of the Khitan people surnamed Yelu is there, if they don't completely naturalize this place, they have no other ideas.

And Ouyang Che had to stay in Jingbian City, which was a transit station.

If he can gain a firm foothold here, then Wang Yan's detour to attack the black soil area behind enemy lines will no longer be alone.

"What about the minister? Official..."Chen Dong asked a little anxiously when he saw that he didn't have his own appointment.

Zhao Huan smiled: "How can it be that there is no business for you, you have to go to Qinghe City." It is located next to the Western Regions. The real land is vast and sparsely populated, and even the Khitans are reluctant to go. ”

"But there is an ancient trade road from Qinghe City to the Western Regions, and it is imperative to open up this upper road and buy horses from the Western Regions."

"I will give you 5,000 people, remember that if you are attacked by Yelu Dashi, you will evacuate Qinghe City, it is a small earthen fort, Yelu Dashi has elites in his hands, you don't want to fight him."

"Is it a trade route?" Chen Dong's expression was eager to try, although he didn't know where Qinghe City was, but it should be possible to have a Khitan guide as a guide.

"How much money does the official family give me?" Chen Dong suddenly thought of something and asked in a daze.

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Give you a mountain of gold!" ”

Gold Mountain?

Chen Dong had a bad premonition in his heart, and he had to go to the ancient books to look through the records of this golden mountain.

"You are mainly an early warning to prevent Yelu Dashi from leading the Tielin Army of the Jin Soldiers from returning to the place west of the Golden Mountain from the Western Regions."

"When Jean is fine, hire the local Khitan people, mine the gold mountain, transport the gold ore mined by the gold mine back to Zhenzhou for refinement, and then exchange it for good horses and Western Regions specialties in the Western Regions, and return to Zhenzhou." Zhao Huan and Chen Dong explained the task in detail.

Zhao Ding was in the middle, with 20,000 Hejian troops rushing to the aid of Chen Dong's Qinghe City and controlling the entire Khitan headquarters at any time.

And Ouyang Che went to the northeastern part of Shangjing Road to take charge of Wang Yan's eight-character army and persuasion.

And Chen Dong is the vigilance of the entire northwest of Shangjing, and gold mining and trade routes are secondary.

"Where is Qinghe City?" Chen Dong asked stunned.

"Nine thousand nine hundred miles to the west, not far." Zhao Huan said with a smile.

The corners of Chen Dong's mouth twitched, and he went west for nine thousand nine hundred miles......

Zhao Ding smiled and patted Chen Dong, the official family is not a person who only allows him to work.

There will definitely be benefits for Chen Dong.

He smiled and said: "The official family, the minister thinks that the Chen family in Huaibei can accompany the business." ”

"Merchants pursue profits, which can be fully rolled out in the entire Shangjing Road. And I heard that Chen Jiaxin recently obtained a kind of wool called wool. It's made of wool, and I think I'll be happy to accompany the Chen family. ”

"Oh? The Chen family's wool has been made of wool, can it be used to make clothes? Zhao Huan asked in surprise.

When Chen Chong and Chen Fu came last time, they didn't say anything about it.

"It was the Chen family's steward in Bianjing who found the minister, and talked to the minister, and was willing to pay three million yuan to buy the permission to purchase the wool of the entire Shangjing Road." Zhao Ding explained.

Zhao Huan frowned and asked, "Monopoly?" ”

Zhao Ding shook his head and said, "No, it's permission." The Chen family's appetite is not so big. ”

"According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, you are not allowed to trade with the Khitans without permission, so you naturally want to buy a license and do a wool business."

"And the Chen family seems to be very interested in the Khitan livestock, and the sea salt of the Great Song Dynasty is very valuable to the Khitan people."

Zhao Huan thought for a while and said: "Salt and iron monopoly, I will order the Ministry of Commerce to follow up on the matter of salt, and let the Chen family mix it in the middle." ”

"Then the Chen family's purchase and Khitan people's return to the matter." Zhao Ding asked.

The accompanying of businessmen is the most suitable way that he Zhao Ding has ever thought of, businessmen seek profits, they will also act as inspectors, and they can also hear about things.

If the Chen family profits, Jiangnan giants will follow suit.

Zhao Ding believed that the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty would turn the Khitans into what the Great Song Dynasty wanted.

Zhao Huan didn't hesitate much, and said: "Let him negotiate with Li Gongzheng of the Ministry of Commerce, and let the Ministry of Commerce make a note to see what to do." ”

Zhao Ding gave Zhao Huan an excellent idea.

The merchants will suck the last drop of blood of the Khitans and let them sing and dance honestly.

Zhao Ding thought for a while and said: "The minister also wants to hire a batch of documents and audits for the lower nine grades in Yanjing, and there may be some retired soldiers to help the minister do things in Zhenzhou." ”

"The minister thinks that Shangjing Road is definitely a treasure trove, not a place where there is nothing but territory as discussed by the courtiers."

Zhao Huan agreed with Zhao Ding's opinion, and the original English made a trick of sheep eating people for the sake of wool.

Such a large grassland is a little empty, but how can Zhao Huan believe that there is no oil and water at all?

He nodded and said, "This is okay, as it should be." ”

"When I arrived in Zhenzhou, I remembered that sentence, and I won over a large number of people and cracked down on a small group."

"The Khitan people who are still in Shangjing Road now, old and young, can't make any big trouble. But remember that they are still Khitans, don't compare them with the people in the Great Song Dynasty, they have not yet been naturalized, when it is time to start, don't be soft-hearted, I let the soldiers accompany you, do you understand? ”

Zhao Ding, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che bowed their heads and said, "Chen understands. Great education, the minister will still do. ”

"When do you plan to leave?" Zhao Huan asked.

Zhao Ding looked left and right and said, "The minister is going to leave a few people in charge of the hiring, and the others will go to Datong Mansion tomorrow and lead the troops to Zhenzhou and other places." ”

Zhao Huan was silent for a while, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. ”
