However, Cai Xuan went to such a rich place to serve this time, and he also went with a mission.

First, it is necessary to promote the planting of grass cotton on a large scale in Chengdu Fu Road, which also lays the foundation for the imperial court to encourage the promotion of grass cotton planting in all roads in Sichuan.

The second is to use the businessmen who come and go to send people to infiltrate Dali and explore all kinds of details of Dali, and the most important thing is the specific military deployment.

However, among the people who knew all the details of the second mission, only Zhao Xu, Zhang Dan, Cai Bian and Cai Xuan, as well as Cai Dao, knew about it in the entire Great Song Dynasty. To this end, Zhao Xu also specially sent a team of elites from the Imperial City Division.

This is naturally Cai Dao's proposal, and in this regard, both Zhao Xu and Zhang Dian are happy to see it come to fruition. On the one hand, the ability of the Imperial City Division can be experienced at different levels and in different ways, and on the other hand, it can divert the attention of the Imperial City Division, and it can also relieve the ministers' fear of the Imperial City Division, which only belongs to the emperor's supervision and espionage agency.

Within half a month after that, the four super-rich men successively transported the promised 5 million stone grain and the silver equivalent to 5 million stone grain to Bianliang City in accordance with the agreement.

This kind of prosperity has never been seen since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, even the centenarians who have lived to the present have never seen it.

It is a pity that the Bianhe River, the canal and the Yellow River are not as good as the Yangtze River, and their transport capacity is naturally far apart.

This made the people in Bianliang City unable to appreciate the shock of the Cai family's giant sea-like large sea ship.

Now that he has food in his hands, Zhao Xu has confidence in his heart, and it is for this reason that the Songxia negotiations, which have been a bit deadlocked, have finally come to an end.

After Empress Dowager Xiaoliang took over the government from her uncle, she has been trying to stabilize her position by various methods, and her husband, Li Bingchang, the lord of Western Xia, was angry to death. When her mother, Empress Dowager Liang, was alive, she teamed up with Liang Yi to imprison Li Bingchang. Finally, the Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yi were buried to death, but who knew that the Empress Dowager Liang let the current Empress Dowager Xiao Liang control the government.

In this way, Li Bingchang, the only ruler who had good intentions towards the Great Song Kingdom during his reign, died alone in anger in the first year of Tian'an Liding, that is, the first year of Yuanyou of the Great Song Dynasty.

The unsuccessful surprise attack in the seventh year of Yuanyou was an attempt by the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, but the final result was a failure, and the hundreds of thousands of troops couldn't even take a small Hongde City, which made her already low prestige drop a lot.

But no one thought that after the little emperor of the Great Song Kingdom had just taken over the government, he would continue Sima Guang's established national policy and take the initiative to cede the land. For a while, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang and the important ministers of the Western Xia Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The generals and soldiers of the Western Army were also inexplicably sad and indignant, at the beginning, Sima Guang proposed to cede Sizhai, and Wen Yanbo finally took action before stepping down, and took the initiative to give up Sizhai, which had already broken the hearts of these generals and soldiers who were sticking to the border. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xu, who had just become pro-government, was actually like this, and for a while, although the Song-Xia border temporarily entered a period of peace, the morale of the entire Western Army was greatly reduced.

Liu Zhi and Liang Tao, the most positive and deputy envoys, the two of them didn't care about Song Xia's peace negotiations, what price the Great Song Kingdom paid, and the result was that the two sides reached a peace agreement. This is a fact that no one can erase.

On the way back to Beijing, the complacent two also learned the news that Wang Yansuo and Liu Anshi were serving as the transfer envoys of the two Huai Road at the same time, and they were naturally happy in their hearts, which showed that after Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he did not denounce all the conservative ministers as everyone predicted.

They all thought that after returning to Beijing, they would definitely be reused by Zhao Xu.

As a result, on the day they returned to Beijing, an astonishing news shook the world and made these two 'meritorious men' completely dumbfounded.

Zhao Xu issued an edict to the world and posted posts throughout the capital, given that Song Xia had already signed a peace agreement. According to the understanding of Sima Guang and others' suggestion, Song Xia must have entered a period of peace after that, and there will be no war between the two sides.

Special commendations were given to the ministers and their families who had approved and actually ceded Sizhai to the Western Xia Kingdom, and moved Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Lü Gongzhu and others to Wulan, Suyuan, and Yonghe villages, which were far from Huanqing Road and forty miles north of Huanzhou. By the way, there is also Gao Zunyu, and he himself and his family are also among them.

Moreover, Zhao Xu was also very 'generous' to give all the land forty miles north of Huanzhou to these families who were relocated there.

As for the land that these families originally had in their hometown, it was naturally all gently and skillfully recovered by Zhao Xu.

What a generous attitude!

The land in the Hetao area is indeed a rich place, especially compared to Hedong Road, which is a great 'preferential treatment' for Wen Yanbo's family!

This matter was handed over to the generals of the forbidden army who had been miserable in the six years of Yuanfeng to personally lead the forbidden army to supervise and handle it.

The forbidden troops who were sent were nominally to assist the families in their moves, and to protect them along the way, but in fact they were to supervise the rapid movement of the families, and to be sure to send them into these bunkers before winter came.

After hearing the news, Liu Zhi and Liang Tao suddenly became dead-faced, and Liu Zhi spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell off the horse. As the leader of the Shuo Party, Liu Zhi is naturally not a fool, and naturally understands the viciousness of Zhao Xu's move.

In fact, everyone knows that the Xixia Kingdom is a hungry wolf, and the reason why Sima Guang has always wanted to cede the four villages, in fact, in his heart, he just doesn't want to see anyone make side merit again, whether it is a civil servant or a military general.

What's more, the cession of Sizhai, coupled with the fact that the Western Xia State was also experiencing a change of power at that time, on the surface, the Song and Xia did enter a rare period of peace buffer. However, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's greed and desire for war exceeded everyone's estimates, even the estimates of the important ministers of the Western Xia Kingdom itself. This led to the Battle of Hongdecheng in the seventh year of Yuanyou.

When this battle happened, Wen Yanbo, who was at home, and Lu Dafang, who was in the capital, knew that this matter would have endless troubles.

Now that it's okay, Lu Dazhong is the head of the Lantian Lu family, and he took the initiative to surrender to Zhao Xu, and when he ceded Sizhai, although Lu Dafang was already the prime minister, but Lu Dafang was actually against that matter, but he still couldn't resist Wen Yanbo, who was about to give office, and their backstage empress dowager Gao Taotao.

Now that retribution has come, Lu Dafang and Fan Chunren rely on the reputation of their brother and family, and they can be regarded as escaping the catastrophe.

Zhao Xu announced this matter to the world, but the conservatives, especially the members of the Shuo Party, could not say anything against it, and they could not find any reason to oppose Zhao Xu's edict.

Could it be that the Western Xia Kingdom is a hungry wolf, and even if Hongde City is ceded to the Western Xia Kingdom, it is difficult to guarantee permanent peace?

If Liu Zhi and Liang Tao really dare to admonish Zhao Xu for this reason, they are looking for death. The peace agreement had just been signed, and it was from the hands of the members of the Shuo Party, from the two of them.

Liu Zhi was so angry that he vomited blood, which is precisely the reason.

Hongde City is now about to be ceded to the Western Xia Kingdom, so it is difficult to ensure the safety of the surrounding villages such as Wulan, Suyuan, and Yonghe, in fact, those families who have been relocated do not know that as long as the forbidden army escorting them is sent to the place, they will immediately retreat to Huanzhou and station on the spot.

As for the security of those villages, Song and Xia have already signed a peace agreement, so what kind of security problems are there?

After Liu Zhi and Liang Tao returned to Beijing, they closed their doors, and it was not difficult for them to imagine that the families that had been determined to move to the northwest were just the beginning.

As Zhao Xu became familiar with the imperial government, he must have sent people to search for all the cantata in the eighth year of Yuanfeng and the year of Yuanyou, and dig deep into those conservative officials who had expressed their approval of Sima Guang's proposal to cede Sizhai in exchange for peace. In this, every member of the Shuo Party is naturally indispensable, and they are actually the driving force behind Sima Guang's proposal.

Not only Liu Zhi and Liang Tao, but also Wang Yansuo and Liu Anshi have also been on such a recital. When Cheng Yi was in Beijing, he opposed Sima Guang's move to abolish the new law, and he was not optimistic about ceding Sizhai in exchange for peace.

The members of the Luo Party, compared with the members of the Shuo Party, have indeed a much worse experience in governance. But obviously, their vision is much stronger than that of each other. Therefore, the members of the Los Angeles Party who got the news are waiting to see a good show.

After the dispute between the Luo Party and the Shuo Party, the officials of the two parties had already broken with each other completely.

Now, on the surface, Zhao Xu did not punish those ministers who were in favor of ceding Sizhai for the time being. Because, all this needs a flashpoint, and this flashpoint is whether the Western Xia Congress will strictly abide by the peace between the two sides.
