The return of the sixteen states of Youyun to Song is really a great joy, although it has not really been returned in the end, but it has already made the prince Zhao Kai infinitely happy, and he can't wait to go to Youyun to open a tea house.

Youyun Sixteen Prefectures since Shi Jingjiao dedicated to the Liao Emperor, more than 200 years, the Central Plains regime has been lingering, because there is no barrier to defend the north, the Central Plains regime has suffered from the Liao people, although with Chai Shizong and Song Taizu's ability, but also failed to get back from the Liao State, although this time it was bought from the Jin State in the form of redemption and purchase, but it has made the Song Dynasty happy.

Zhao Kai had no better way to intervene in the military for the time being, but he immediately thought of opening a tea house, so he immediately asked Fang Jinshi to come over to discuss.

Zhao Kai believes that it doesn't matter whether you make money or not in the sixteen states of Youyun, the important thing is to do something to show the people of Liao and Jin, that is, what can you do to prove that these sixteen states of Youyun are indeed the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Fang Jinshi listened to Zhao Kai's words, and asked rhetorically: "How can the third brother prove to the people of Liao and Jin that these tea houses are made by the government, not private traders?" ”

Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, he thought for a long time before he said: "Then you put the field big enough in the past, and the people of Liao and Jin will know that it is not for ordinary businessmen when they see such a big field." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I'm afraid that the Jin and Liao people won't believe it, unless they say that it is a business of the government." Zhao Kai immediately vetoed: "It must not be said that it is a deal of the government." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Then it's difficult." Zhao Kai said: "You want to find a way." ”

Fang Jinshi thought for a while and said: "Then don't do the tea business, but buy and sell ordnance and military supplies, this kind of business ordinary people won't do, needless to say, I know that it is the government." ”

Zhao Kai shouted in a low voice: "You don't want to die, it is a felony for ordinary people to do this business, let alone in the border land." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "That...... It also depends on who does it, and how it is done and what the goods are being bought and sold. ”

Zhao Kai was a little confused, and asked puzzledly: "What do you want to buy?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "What is most lacking in our Great Song army? Zhao Kai shook his head after thinking for a long time, he really didn't know what the great Song Dynasty, the country was rich and the people were strong, what could be missing.

Fang Jinshi saw a blank face, and then woke up Zhao Kai and said: "The Great Song army is not lacking in anything else, the most lacking is war horses, if my Great Song army also has many cavalry, then the strength will be very different." ”

Zhao Kai's eyes lit up and said, "You want to buy and sell horses?" Fang Jinshi nodded and said, "Yes, as far as I can see, you should use the money from the sale of tea to buy horses in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and return to the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Kai was silent, bowed his head and was thinking about Fang Jinshi's words, Fang Jinshi said again: "Although war horses are military supplies, but they can't help merchants buy and sell, Youyun Sixteen Prefectures have always raised horses, and they go straight to the grasslands of Liaoguo, there has always been no shortage of horses, and buying horses at this time is a godsend. ”

Zhao Kai raised his head and said, "What time?" ”

Fang Jinshi said seriously: "At this time, the war in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun has just ended, and the people are flustered, there must be many generals in the Liao State who have reduced their gold, and there must be those who are worried in their hearts, or those who are not convinced, if they find this opportunity to lobby, maybe someone will switch to the Great Song Dynasty, at least secretly buy war horses from these generals, most of them will be willing." ”

Zhao Kai disagreed: "What you said makes sense." ”

Fang Jinshi said again: "There is another kind of person who is more likely to lobby them, that is, the Liao army that has been scattered and hidden, if you spend some effort to find them before the Jin people and persuade me to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be better?" Even if they can't come down, it's possible to spend money on their war horses. ”

Zhao Kai said: "Yes, it's just ...... In this way, the people of Jinguo will be displeased. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Why do you have to make the people of the Jin Kingdom happy?" In the future, there will be a battle between Song and Jin, if you don't prepare first, you are afraid that you will be difficult to defeat the Jin people in the future. ”

Zhao Kai scolded angrily: "You are talking nonsense, Song and Jin Alliance, why did you come to fight." ”

Fang Jinshi sighed inwardly, and stopped talking after scolding him, Zhao Kai was displeased, and comforted him: "What you just said also makes some sense, but I have to find someone to discuss again." ”

Fang Jinshi replied: "Yes!" He stood aside and bowed his head and did not speak.

Zhao Kai saw that he didn't speak, and felt a little heavier for scolding him just now, he was a very humble scholar, although his identity was noble, but he didn't often scold people, Zhao Kai actually said to Fang Jinshi: "Fang is I speak more heavily, don't take it to heart." ”

Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "Where did the third brother speak, it was my inappropriate words. Zhao Kai said: "If it's a friend, I won't talk about it." ”

He suddenly said such words, which made Fang Jinshi's heart greatly moved, he was just a civilian cloth, this Zhao Kai would treat him as a friend, and he had just played chess with Zhao Kai a few times and drank wine a few times.

Zhao Kai comforted him a few more words, Fang Jinshi said goodbye, he left the Yunwang Mansion, walked on the way home, and an idea came out of his heart, which made him startled, that is, can you find a way to change the original historical trend and seize the opportunity to support Zhao Kai to ascend the throne, instead of the Song Gaozong Zhao Gou!

Zhao Kai is modest, well-behaved, and very literate, although there are no great achievements, but at least he will not be as timid and weak as Zhao Gou, and he is afraid of gold like a tiger.

It's just that Fang Jinshi is just thinking about it, to support Zhao Kai to ascend the throne, he must have extremely strong strength, with his current ability, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

He returned home with a heavy heart, and Liang Cuirong came over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Fang Jinshi didn't want to tell her what he thought in his heart, but just told him about meeting Wan Qiao, Liang Cuirong listened and said: "I think this person has some ability, you go to Zhang Shaozai's Mansion tomorrow and see how he arranges." ”

Fang Jinshi agreed, and Liang Cuirong said again: "Someone sent a wedding card today for you to drink the wedding wine." ”

Fang Jinshi was a little strange, he opened the wedding post and saw that it was King Kang Zhao Gou who was going to get married, the time was in King Kang's Mansion five days later, he was finally going to marry the second girl Xing Bingyi Xing, originally King Kang Zhao Gou told Fang Jinshi that when he got married, he would definitely invite Fang Jinshi to drink the wedding wine.

Fang Jinshi put down the wedding sticker, and suddenly remembered something, he went to the back room by himself, took out the box of boots that Zhao Gou gave him, and opened it to show Liang Cuirong.

Liang Cuirong asked puzzledly, "What is this?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "This was given to me by Prince Kang." ”

Liang Cuirong picked it up and looked at it seriously and said, "This Prince Kang is too stingy, and these shoes will also be given away." ”

Fang Jinshi closed the box, solemnly handed it to Liang Cuirong and said, "You must put away these shoes for me, maybe they will be of great use in the future." ”

Although Liang Cuirong didn't believe it, he still took it and carefully collected it.
