In their original plan, Xiaoice Weather would be an important helper for them, which could be used specifically against the nomads who thought they could run around the vast grasslands at will.

If they choose to start a war in the spring and pursue until early winter, where will they hide when the cold winter is approaching?!

Surrender is acceptable, but it must be tried and reckoned...... There is no punishment for sin, and that is the greatest harm to goodness.

If they had the opportunity to do so, they might be washed and sung by their descendants......

Song Ziqiang scoffed at this and said:

"We have uprooted all the soil that produces sin, where will anyone wash the floor and sing praises for them?!

Our children and grandchildren are idiots?? ”

Wan Shida said: "Anyway, let's finish all the dirty work!" ”

That's right, the three of them unanimously agreed that if Zhao Xian, the young official of the Great Song Dynasty, really wanted to increase his prestige and power by recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, then the Federal Empire would help the Great Song army, and would definitely support the Great Song through specific military operations.

In this way, the nature of the war changed, not only in the Union Empire's attack on the Tatar bandits, but also in the Song Dynasty's recovery of the homeland.

Of course, such a major event has to wait for Wu Dapeng and Wang Defa to come back to discuss.

More news came back from the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Japanese condolence group took a different path from the Goryeo group, and their sea ships went directly to the mouth of the Yellow River, transferred to the Yellow River's unique 100-ton sailing boats through the Yellow River to a canal, and then went directly to the city of Xinbianjing.

In the early days of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the capital was established in Bianjing, which was relatively close to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, so the role of the canal was more obvious.

Several major tributaries of the Yellow River and Huaishui have canals to Bianjing.

As early as the Sui Dynasty, it was built and greatly expanded, and the canal that ran through the capital Luoyang and even directly to Zhuojun still played a huge role in the Great Song Dynasty!

However, at that time, it could only be passed south of the Yellow River, and the canal north of the Yellow River had been abandoned by the Liao State at that time.

At that time, people in Bianjing City said that food was mainly transported by water, and transportation was mainly carried out by the Grand Canal.

They thought that if the canal was abandoned, the masses would not be able to gather.

At that time, the grain transported from Jiangnan to Bianjing City through the Grand Canal every year was generally about five or six million stones, and sometimes it reached eight million stones, exceeding the volume of water transported in the Tang Dynasty.

It is difficult to count the quantities of gold and silver, cloth, incense, tea, and other local products transported.

The painter Zhang Zeduan painted the "Qingming Riverside Picture", which truly depicted the busy scene of transportation in the Bianhe River at that time.

Of course, water transportation not only played an important role in the capital, but also ensured the military needs of the northern frontier.

After the rise of the Jin State, the Great Song Dynasty was forced to go south, not to mention the north of the Yellow River, and even the canals north of the Huai River were almost deserted.

When the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty went to the Kingdom of Jin, he saw that the banks of the canal had collapsed in many places, and after the canal dried up, crops were planted in that place, and houses were built in some places!

After the return of the Great Song Dynasty, while they continued to build new cities, they also re-dredged the previously abandoned canal system.

Cement and reinforced concrete technology also played a huge role in the repair of quayside docks.

At present, the route from the mouth of the Yellow River, through the Yellow River to the canal, and then to the city of Bianjing, is an important route for trade between Korea and Japan to the new Bianjing area.

After the Japanese condolence group arrived, they had been waiting for the condolence group of the Federal Empire, and when they heard that General Kim Jong-sik of Goryeo had preemptively met the crown prince, Minister Mihara Koi was even more anxious, and he hated himself for being greedy for convenience and went directly to Xinbian Jingcheng!

It should be the same as the people of Goryeo, waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Hangzhou City.

After the condolence group of the Federal Empire officially arrived in Xinbianjing, they first met with Foreign Minister Hou Dongfang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It turned out to be okay, Foreign Minister Hou Dongfang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave them the same conditions as Goryeo...... Thankfully, the Federal Empire is always fair and just!

Japanese Minister Koi Mihara believes that his deferential attitude will impress His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Japan, like the Goryeo Kingdom, was inseparable from the Great Song Dynasty and the Federal Empire......

About two months later, before the Spring Festival of 1290, important figures in the Confederation Empire returned to the island one after another.

Even Wang Zheng and Xiao Er, who were tens of thousands of miles away, came back.

Everyone has been busy all these years, and generally only through letters, but fortunately there are photos to see, otherwise everyone may not be recognizable by the extent of the changes.

King Zhang Anguo first had a small party with a few friends who had easily gotten together.

Queen Jing still fried a few side dishes herself...... The chef of the royal family stood by with his shoulders crossed and still aggrieved.

One stir-fried beef, one fried large yellow croaker, a small chicken stewed with mushrooms, three vegetarian dishes...... Such a home-cooked dish is still used by the queen herself?!

It's so distrustful.

Of course, he didn't believe that those distinguished guests would only think that they were the most authentic hospitality if they ate the queen's fried dishes.

They called the waiters out while they were eating and drinking.

Zhang Anguo pointed to the liquor on the table and said: "This is the Wuliangye I personally brewed in six or eight years, and more than two tons have been preserved, and now everyone can finally drink it together." ”

Yes, more than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye!

Wu Dapeng asked, "What happened to the villa built on the main island of Hawaii?" ”

Quiet took out a stack of photos from a briefcase and said, "This is the villa of several of our families, and it is now being renovated internally." ”

It will be a place for them to retire collectively, never to be afraid, never to worry about what they are about.

Wu Dapeng and the others looked at it casually and felt that they met their requirements...... It should be a good place to retire.

It is not yet possible to think about retirement, even though they all mentally consider themselves to be in their seventies...... However, everyone's face is still about 50 years old.

Wu Dapeng and Wang Defa were first very happy when they heard that Korea and Japan were actively expanding the business of "recruiting" laborers...... But Wu Dapeng said with some disappointment:

"Didn't the Great Song government think about labor? Their folk still have no one to figure it out?! ”

Queen Jing smiled and said, "I still hope that Da Song will keep his previous habits......"

In fact, there was basically no slave in the Great Song Dynasty, and even the laws of the Great Song Dynasty clearly stipulated that slaves were not allowed...... However, many farmers buy "labor" and lock it in by entering into long-term contracts.

If they sign a contract with a person of their own nationality, they do not have a right to personal liberty between themselves, and if they are not satisfied with each other, they can terminate the contract, which includes long-term and short-term contracts, and even some short-term jobs, just like the employees hired by the companies that seek to live on the island.

However, they were confident that the black "labor" they had purchased would not be rescinded.

Until now, there are still tenants who have been cultivating their fields for a long time, and they need to pay rent, which is a stable household.

There are also some who are not fixed, or who have been displaced from other places and will leave after a few years, and this category is called customers.

Of course, there are also some rangers, who belong to the category of splashing skin...... In short, the Song Dynasty basically excluded the category of slaves in name, and compared with the Tang Dynasty and the Ming and Qing dynasty slaves, it was really much more civilized.

Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that the Song Dynasty did not suppress commerce...... It's a pity that this kind of indentured employment relationship did not exist for a long time, and it was later lost with the fall of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the Yuan Dynasty, basically the Han people were slaves, and in the Ming Dynasty, they were half-slaves and half-hired coexistence, and there were domestic slaves and mercenaries with life and death contracts, and in the Qing Dynasty, there were basically more domestic slaves, and the employment relationship basically disappeared.

Therefore, the Great Song Empire, whether it was the government or the people, did not have the habit of going to distant places to "recruit" laborers.
