|||--Chapter 692: Three Places to Fill Two Places

Now that Liaoning, a strategic place, has returned to the hands of the Song people, the Song Dynasty and the opposition are naturally full of voices, praising Shi Bin for doing a good job. After all, it is really admirable to exchange only some gold, silver and materials for such a significant land, and even some anti-stone factions have stood up to express their admiration.

Because he always remembered the 'restoration of the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties' in his heart, Shi Bin rarely did not faint with joy in the face of the praise of the whole country, but continued to pounce on state affairs after smiling faintly.

This performance surprised everyone very much and made them very happy, and it is definitely a great thing that the person in charge of the country can calmly treat such a great success for the country and the people. Therefore, there were many fewer voices against Shi Bin in the court for a while, and there was a rare harmony. Taking this opportunity, Shi Bin sent Zhang Shijie, the propaganda envoy of the Baokang Army who supported him, to serve as the commander-in-chief of Liaoning.

Although there was no war, a lot of money and materials were spent, and the strength of the Great Song Dynasty was naturally weakened a lot. It will definitely take some time to recuperate and regain strength. Therefore, Shi Bin clearly told everyone that within three years, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but only seek stable development.

It is now the beginning of the fifth year of Xianchun (1269), and if Shi Bin is true to his word, this means that there will be no more war in the eighth year of Xianchun (1272). People are determined that no one wants to live a comfortable and good life, so as soon as such good news came out, the entire Great Song Dynasty was boiling.

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the sixth year of Xianchun (1270). Due to the already developed economy of the Great Song Dynasty, and the internal and external tranquility, coupled with Shi Bin's full support for development, a year's recuperation allowed its strength to fully recover. Seeing such a good situation, Shi Bin's mind came alive again, and he couldn't help but want to take back another piece of land to be more admired.

So at the dinner party one day, Shi Bin said: "Wang Yi, what do you say is the situation of my Great Song Dynasty now?" ”

I don't understand why Shi Bin suddenly asked such a question, but he didn't think that Shi Bin would harm him, so Wang Yi said very directly: "My lord, now the Great Song Dynasty is very good under the rule of the adult, there are no internal and external troubles, and the national strength has also returned to the level before supporting Ali Buge." It's a pity that the lord promised that no one would offend me within three years, and I would not offend anyone, if there was no such promise, the lower officials would definitely suggest that the lord continue to recover the land and restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties. ”

"yes, that's not what you should have promised. I thought that three years of restoring national strength would not be enough, but I didn't expect it to recover in more than a year. But the eldest husband has to be true to his word, not to mention that I am still the Prime Minister and Privy Envoy, and I can't go back on my word. Shi Bin shook his head and said, obviously unwilling.

"Do you want to expand the territory for my Great Song Dynasty and regain the lost territory?" Li Shao asked tentatively.

"What do you say? Now that our Great Song Dynasty is strong, it is really unwise not to take advantage of this time to expand the territory. Shi Bin said with some unhappiness.

Knowing that Shi Bin was not targeting him, Li Shao continued: "My lord, please forgive me for saying that the past five years are actually not suitable for us to expand our territory. ”

Hearing Li Shao's words, Shi Bin was very surprised and slightly angry. This was the first time since Li Shao defected that he unabashedly opposed his own ideas. But the husband must be tolerant, let alone the first minister of the Great Song Dynasty? Therefore, Shi Bin quickly calmed down the anger in his heart and asked Li Shao to express his own opinion.

"My lord, the reason is very simple, that is, it is not good to rush for quick success. Since the adults commanded the army, it has almost recaptured all the land of our ancestors in just 20 years, and the speed of recovery has been even more rapid in recent years. But it also allows us to regain in those new ones

The foundation of the place is unstable, and if you are not careful, you may lose it again. Therefore, Xia Guan believes that if it is not a strategic location, there is no need for us to seek it for the time being. ”

"Unstable foundations?" Shi Bin thought about it and groaned. Li Shao's words made Shi Bin lose his temper immediately, because what he said was true.

Not to mention anything else, just in the Hexi Corridor and Liaoning, the Song people have an unstable foundation. These two places are still sparsely populated, and there are not many Song people, most of them are people from the steppe tribes. Once there is a rebellion, although it is difficult to affect the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, it will make all the previous efforts in vain. So how to ensure that these places do not rebel and are tightly in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty?

"It makes sense, it seems that I really shouldn't want to expand my territory again, at least not for the past two years. Li Shao, thank you for your willingness to speak out. Just now you said that the foundation of the Hexi Corridor and Liaoning is unstable, so how can I make the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty stable? I don't want to work in vain. Shi Bin smiled.

The previous exhortation was just Li Shao casually said it without thinking about it, so he didn't have an answer to Shi Bin's question, so he could only smile awkwardly and say that he had just learned and hadn't come up with a solution yet.

I don't think Li Shao is shirking his responsibilities to protect himself, after all, he is only a little strategic, far inferior to Wang San and Li Chao, so Shi Bin is not to blame, and still expresses his gratitude. Since it was just an ordinary gathering, there was nothing important to talk about. Wang Yi and Li Shao left soon after eating.

"Husband, are you still thinking about what Li Shao said before?" Seeing Shi Bin staring blankly at the crescent moon in the sky, but obviously not admiring the moon, Sai Xishi asked.

"Bandit leader, are you too smart?" Shi Bin smiled helplessly, "Yes, I'm thinking about this question." This problem seems easy to solve, but it is actually not easy to solve. If you want to rule a place well, you must not rely on force alone, and it is not possible to be unpopular. ”

"That's what I said, but it doesn't seem like we have anything to do." Sai Xi Shi said, "It is very passive to use razing to control razing. ”

"Yes, it's very passive, so we should find an active way to really turn those places into the land of my Song people."

"The question is how?" Sai Xi Shi is mindful. Suddenly there was a commotion not far away. This made both Shi Bin and Sai Xi Shi unable to think quietly, and Sai Xi Shi immediately angrily pulled Shi Bin to see who disturbed their thinking.

When I arrived at the place, I saw a group of people reprimanding a little girl. There were a few pieces of broken porcelain on the ground, obviously because the little girl accidentally broke the bowl and made a mistake.

It's normal to be taught a lesson for doing something wrong, but Shi Bin doesn't like so many people besieging a little girl, and he has a bit of a bully. So he said, "What's the matter, why is it so noisy?" ”

"My lord, the villain is wrong to disturb the adult." The servant who took the lead said, "It's all because this little fellow is so stupid that he broke five gilded porcelain bowls in three days." How precious is a gilded porcelain bowl, she actually broke five, how can this be? Therefore, the villain scolded in a fit of anger, but he didn't expect to disturb the adult. The villain is wrong, please forgive the adult. ”

After listening to the servant's explanation, Shi Bin smiled helplessly: "You did the right thing, this girl is a little stupid, I don't blame you, just don't be so loud in the future." Also, it's good for you to reprimand alone, and it's a bit unreasonable to lead so many people to scold her for being a little girl. Since she can't do anything like this, let her do the laundry, or give her food. ”

As soon as this is handled, the matter will immediately calm down and no one will make any noise.

"You've been a good guy again." Sai Si Shi smiled slyly.

"Yes, he's a good guy again. You've been a good counselor, too..." A familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ear, and it seemed a little unpleasant.

Don't think about it, this is Jia Ling's vinegar jar turned over. Sai Xishi knows how to advance and retreat very well, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled and said to Jia Ling: "Sister, where am I a good counselor?" From the time you just went to change clothes and now you've come back, I haven't made a single useful suggestion. ”

Hearing Sai Xishi say this, Jia Ling felt a lot more comfortable. has a good relationship with Sai Xishi, and still has some cultivation, Jia Ling quickly returned to normal and no longer has a weird yin and yang.

"You are all my good advisers, and you are all rare generous women." Shi Bin immediately praised in order to stabilize the situation.

With such a boast, Jia Ling and Sai Xi Shi were immediately a little embarrassed, and Jia Ling even apologized to Sai Xi Shi euphemistically.

"I suddenly thought of a solution, which is estimated to solve the problem of our unstable foundation in the Hexi Corridor and Liaoning." Shi Bin smiled confidently.

"Really, tell me about it?" Jia Ling and Sai Xi Shi immediately said in unison.

"The servants who reprimanded the erring little girl just now seem to be all old men in the house, right?" Shi Bin asked.

"Yes. have been here for at least three years. Jia Ling said.

"It's the first time I've seen that little girl, and it doesn't seem to be more than a month."

"Yes, I bought it for three taels of silver half a month ago." Sai Xi Shi said, "Seeing that she is still handsome, I thought she was smart, but I didn't expect to be so stupid, these three taels of silver were really thrown into the water." ”

"It's just three taels of silver, but you're my Shi Bin's wife, so don't be so careful." Shi Bin said with a smile, "You see, these old people are easy to conflict with newcomers, and newcomers are easy to be bullied. Is it possible for our people to be bullied in the Hexi Corridor and Liaoning? Or is it prone to conflict? ”

"That's for sure." Sai Xi Shi immediately said, "When I was in the cottage, there were a lot of such things. ”

"How do you solve it?" Shi Bin asked.

"Naturally, they will form gangs, and they will listen to whichever side is stronger."

Speaking of this, Shi Bin said with a smile: "Xi Shi, it seems that my method will definitely work." "The reason why he is so confident is because he remembers 'Huguang fills Sichuan' and 'Jiangxi fills Huguang'.

Shi Bin smiled slyly, "How about we try to arrange some Song people to live in the Hexi Corridor and Liaoning?" I dare say that this is definitely a good way, the more people, the stronger the voice, as long as our people can adapt to life there, sooner or later we can fully master the Hexi Corridor and Liaoning.

"Well, it does. So who are you going to transfer to those two places? Jia Ling asked.

"People in the southeast are definitely not good, they are too weak, they must be adaptable and able to endure hardship."

"Yes, it has to be someone who has lived in poor mountains and bad waters." Sai Xi Shi said very approvingly.

"In this case, it should be possible to use people from Sichuan, Jinghu, and Shaanxi, what do you think?"

"That's good, how much? How to blend? Sai Si Shi asked.

"Transferring 50,000 households from Shaanxi to the Hexi Corridor, and transferring a total of 50,000 households from Jinghu Road and Sichuan to Liaoning, this should be fine." Shi Bin smiled proudly.

This method is really good, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi also let Shi Bin be a little proud, and no longer be the villain who disturbs the interest.
