When Zhao Ji rushed from the workshop in Dongcheng to the outside of the Imperial City in Xicheng, the merchants gathered in front of the palace were ecstatic, and when the iron wall guards surrounded Zhao Ji and walked out, they knelt on the ground and shouted long live, they knew that their official family had to patrol the capital every day.

"Holy Lord, Weichen is not doing well." Cai Jing, the first assistant of the cabinet, arched his hand and said.

"What's going on? Is there anything that you, the head of the cabinet, can't solve? Zhao Ji said impatiently.

The development flow is demanding, and the big thing is imminent, but there can be no mistakes. Shanghai was originally a small town in Huating County (Songjiang), which in turn was a county in Xiuzhou (Jiaxing). After Shanghai was upgraded to a prefecture, Xiuzhou was changed to a county. In order to develop Shangjing, the cabinet has always vigorously supported businessmen. In such a situation, what else is there for the merchants to make trouble? Zhao Ji was very dissatisfied in his heart.

"Yes." Cai Jing was ready to explain.

"Needless to say. Let them send a few representatives to talk with me to the Chongzheng Palace. The others leave immediately, or they will all be imprisoned. Zhao Ji said angrily.

With that, the Iron Guard immediately drove the merchant away and cleared a passage. Zhao Ji didn't let the merchant calm down, and hit the horse into the palace.

When the merchants saw that this official family, who had always been close to the people, ignored them and seemed to be full of anger, they were panicked. When the guards drove them away, they did not dare to get up, so they had to crawl away quickly. They were very worried, they all knew very well that although this official family was close to the people, it was an official family that respected martial arts and heavy Xing, and he was short-tempered, and when he was angry, he would kill.

After the palace gate was closed, the merchants did not dare to get up, in case they got up early and became a bird, then they might be the first to hit the ground.

Cai Jing looked at these merchants, he had relied on the emperor to be close to the people, and he would not do anything to them. At this time, the emperor really came, but he was scared like this one by one.

"Get up! The saints have all entered the palace. Cai Jing said funny.

"Xiangye, does the official family know these things? Xiangye, help, persuade the official family. It's a little bit of a thing. A businessman stood up, bowed, walked up to Cai Jing and said, while stuffing a pile of jiaozi.

Cai Jing is now just the first assistant of the cabinet in Beijing, an official of the fourth grade. It's still far from being in power from the prime minister of the first product to the second product. But Cai Jing has a high reputation, treats the people kindly and easy-going, and the people and businessmen are willing to call him Xiangye.

"This means a lot, five hundred yuan, it's almost a year's worth of me. It's enough for the official family to cut off my head a few times. Cai Jing held Jiaozi in his right hand and gently tapped it on his left hand, and said with a smile.

"Forgive me, the grass people are confused. This official family is full of anger, but for what? If there is a shortage of military funds, we can pay for the military. Xiangye's heart is to the people, it is the blue sky of the people, but he has to give support to the grass people! The merchant looked pitiful and bowed down and begged Cai Jing to find a way.

"You merchants? Just know the blind guess. But this military money, you do your best! I'll go into the palace and persuade the officials. You pick a few delegates and follow me in, and the others disperse. Cai Jing said with a reasonable look and a clear look.

"Thank you, Xiangye." The businessmen kowtowed to Cai Jing one after another to thank him. Then, the merchants dispersed, leaving only five representatives to follow Cai Jing into the palace.

Chongzheng Palace.

"Wang Cifu, do you also have something? Why do you have to wait for me to deal with so many things, you can't just look at it? Zhao Ji seems to be very dissatisfied with this cabinet that has no responsibility.

Wang Anli was stunned, this official family didn't do anything by himself, and he knew that he was urging others to do it all day long. I really don't know how to evaluate it!

"The country of Cochin sent tribute and offered a rhinoceros. I implore the Holy One to grant them the Quang Nam Road and Guangyuan Prefecture. Wang Anli said slowly.

"Hmm. The Ministry of Rites accepts, what? Zhao Ji originally said that the Ministry of Rites would accept the tribute, but when he heard the latter sentence, he couldn't help but suspect that he had heard it wrong.

"What's the opinion of the political affairs hall?" Zhao Ji sat down calmly and asked.

"Huguang has started development, and the Western Xia border has quieted down, and there can be no more war on the Jiaozhi border. Guangyuan Prefecture, the land of miasma, is only the fetters of the Great Song Dynasty. There are three million barbarians in the southwest, and they do not pay half a penny tax to the imperial court, so it is also good to be able to give Jiaozhi in exchange for the peace of the border of Jiaozhi. However, it is a matter of the country, and the government affairs hall asked the messenger of Jiaozhi to come to Beijing and plead with the saint. Wang Anli expressed the opinion of the political affairs hall.

Last time, in order to negotiate peace with the Western Xia, the city of Suiyuan, which had just arrived, was returned to the Western Xia, in exchange for border tranquility. Now it's happening again!

"Say, why is the border of Cochin restless? Is the political hall addicted to land cutting? Zhao Ji held back his anger and asked slowly.

"The Holy God forgives sins, and the political affairs hall is also for the purpose of changing the law. Quang Nam is a wild and barren land, and if an army is sent to fight each other, there will be many casualties. Emperor Renzong was also reluctant to march south. There were no taxes there, and it was a waste of food and grass for the army. Wang Anli is defending the political hall.

"Are you crushing the emperor?" Zhao Xuan shouted.

"Wechen doesn't dare." Only then did Wang Anli realize that he was not Wang Anshi, and he had not yet reached the point where he let the emperor bow down and listen to the training like his eldest brother.

"Hmm. Tell me what's going on? Zhao Ji sat down quietly, waved his hand again, and asked people to move a stool for Wang Anli.

"The intrusion of Jiaozhi on the border of the Great Song Dynasty began with Li Shuntian, the king of Jiaozhi. They always use various excuses to raid the border and plunder the border people. Emperor Zhenzong and Emperor Renzong have repeatedly sought from Jiaozhi, but to no avail. During the reign of Emperor Renzong, Langzhou Mu Shen Shaotai chased the fleeing soldiers into the Song Dynasty under the pretext of chasing the fugitive soldiers, and as a result, plundered a large number of people, cattle and horses on the Qinzhou border. Emperor Renzong intended to conquer, but when he heard that the soldiers of the southern expedition would inevitably lose too much because of the miasma, he gave up. Wang Anli recalled.

"Is the miasma so powerful? How can the cochin people not be miasma? Hum. "Zhao Ji doesn't know what the smart heads of the Song and Manchu Dynasty have done, and there is a set of reasons for cutting the land.

"Miasma is hard to prevent, but it's not incurable. One is coix seed, which can be lightened and dispelled after a long time. There is also a betel nut, which can also defeat miasma. The rest, such as realgar and atractylodes, are often burned and smoked, and can also remove miasma. Wang Anli hurriedly said.

"So, there's no other way than to cut the land?" Zhao Ji kept knocking on the imperial table with one hand, as if asking Wang Anli, and as if he was talking to himself.

Zhao Ji tried to recall the history recorded by later generations, and there was indeed such a thing in history. In the third year of Xining, Jiaozhi came to pay tribute, and in the fourth year of Xining, Song Shenzong showed friendship to Jiaozhi in order to change the law, and gave Guangyuan Prefecture (now Quang Yuan Prefecture, Cao Bang Province, Vietnam) to Jiaozhi. This incident also led to the war between the two countries in the later period, and Jiaozhi became more and more rampant because of this matter, and Song Shenzong felt that the treasury was full after changing the law, and he wanted to expand the territory.

"Guangyuan Prefecture, Jiaozhi, Li Dynasty, Dayue Kingdom. Let's talk about the root cause of Cochin's request for land, right? They can't say they want it, right? A rhinoceros for a state is really a good deal. Zhao Ji suddenly stopped banging on the royal table, stood up and asked.

Zhao Ji knew that the root cause of the war between the Song Dynasty and the Li Dynasty of Vietnam during the Song Shenzong period was because of Wang Anshi's reform.

Wang Anshi changed the law, set up a city on the border to change affairs, and the wealth in trade flowed into the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty and the Li Dynasty of Vietnam, in addition to wars and tributary relations, the border between the two countries was very commercial and trade.

During the Li Dynasty of Vietnam, Li Gongyun asked the Song court to set up a Boyi field in Qinzhou for merchants from the two countries to trade, but Song Zhenzong gave up because the Li Dynasty harassed the border. But because of this, the smuggling trade between the two countries has become prosperous, among which human smuggling is the most serious, the human traffickers on Guangnan Road in the Song Dynasty trafficked border people to the territory of the Li Dynasty, reaching thousands of people every year, and the trafficked people were enslaved for life, which was very miserable.

However, since Wang Anshi came to power to support the reform, all border trade has been banned, so the trade is under the strict control of the imperial court and the city. All the smugglers, hit hard. In addition, Wang Anshi's armor protection law, which was strict in population control, included the southwestern barbarians in the armor protection and training, which caused panic in the Li Dynasty. This led to a war between the two countries.

"Shengshang, Qinzhou is a military town. There are 30,000 soldiers in the military town. If you rely on Guangzhou and Tanzhou to adjust grain, the loss will be too heavy. The political hall had to spend a huge amount of money to recruit people in Qinzhou to tuntian, and then carry out military tuning. The barbarians in the southwest were all attached, and the barbarians in the north of Jiaozhi also requested to be attached to the Great Song Dynasty, and the government and the opposition in Jiaozhi were shaken. Nong Zhigao is a native of Guangyuan Prefecture. Wang Anli explained in detail.

Speaking of Nong Zhigao, Zhao Ji already knows what is going on. After pondering for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll see the messenger of Jiaozhi, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”

"Weichen, the grass people knock on the saint, long live, long live, long live." Cai Jing walked into the Chongzheng Hall with five merchant representatives, knelt on the ground, and shouted long live.

"Flat. Alright, you go down first. Tomorrow I will summon the messenger again. Zhao Ji said to Cai Jing and others. He also instructed Wang Anli to go down, after all, the development of the flow is a big deal, and you can't all stay here.

"The saint is slow, and the matter reported by Weichen is the same thing as Wang Cifu. Wang Cifu still left it for reference. Cai Jing hurriedly dissuaded.

"Oh, the same thing? Let's talk about it. Zhao Ji felt that this matter might not be so simple.

"Let the five merchants speak. Tell the Holy God what you are doing. Cai Jing bowed his hand to Zhao Ji and instructed the five merchants.

"I implore the Holy One to be the master of the grass people." The five merchants knelt down again and said with tears in their voices.

"Okay, one by one." Zhao Ji motioned for them to stand up and speak.

"Holy Lord, the country of Jiaozhi is too hateful. The caravan of grass people, returning from India, passed through Xinzhou, the new capital of the Champa state of Vijaya, and was attacked by the Jiaozhi ** team when they were preparing to return to China. Of our caravan of more than 2,000 people, more than 500 were killed, and six members of the grass people's family were also killed, and all 50 ships and goods were confiscated by them, and they said that they were the things of the city and their spoils. Holy Lord, if the goods do not come back, we will not regret it. But the revenge of the killing of 500 people and the killing of their families, the grass people must avenge it. Two hundred and sixty-two commercial firms, including the grass people, were willing to donate all their family assets of 2 million yuan, and asked the saint to send troops to recruit Jiaozhi and make decisions for the grass people. A businessman said as he cried.

"How did you get attacked by the army of the Cochin Kingdom in the Champong Kingdom?" Although Zhao Ji's heart was full of anger, he couldn't easily agree to major military affairs.

"Holy Lord, this is the national letter of the Champa Kingdom, and the King of the Champa Kingdom, Vindra Varman III, asked me to transfer it to the Holy Lord." Another merchant said, handing over a box.

Zhao Ji opened the box, in addition to the national letter, there was also a very small jade, the jade was crystal clear, and there seemed to be a fire burning in the middle. After a quick glance at the national letter, Zhao Ji finally understood what was going on.

The Li Dynasty of Vietnam was called Jiaozhi to the Song Dynasty, and the Great Viet Empire was called to other countries. In addition to harassing the border of the Great Song Dynasty, in the first year of Xining (1068), the capital of Zhancheng was captured. This is the third time that the Li Dynasty of Vietnam has sacked the capital of the Occupy Cheng State, forcing the Champa State to move its capital repeatedly. Although the two countries were feuding, Champa was weak and became a vassal state of the Ly Dynasty of Vietnam, paying tribute to Cochin all year round.

This letter of state is the king of Champa, who wants to recapture the old capital, and wants to unite the Great Song Dynasty, Zhenla, and Dali to fight the Li Dynasty in Vietnam. Naturally, Champa could not unite all the countries, but the Great Song Dynasty, as the suzerain, could. In order to show sincerity, they even dedicated their treasure of the town and country, the Eye of Light, to Zhao Ji.

"Shengshang, the grass people represent the twenty-eight textile workshops in Dongcheng, and plead with the saint to open up the Maritime Silk Road, the Maritime Silk Road is not smooth, and the workshops of the grass people and others may not be able to sustain themselves."

"Huh? The Maritime Silk Road? Zhao Ji stood up suddenly, and without waiting for the other two merchants to speak, he stood in front of the framed world map on the side, his fingers constantly moving, as if he was checking the trade routes of the Maritime Silk Road.
