Zhao Yi got up and hugged Chen Xin from Renzong's arms, the little girl was still a little reluctant to Renzong's beard, and she was very reluctant to leave Renzong's arms, and her expression looked particularly distressing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Renzong coaxed her twice, and after Zhao Yi took her away, he glanced at Chen Yuan: "Shimei, this time many Nanyang envoys came to my Great Song Dynasty to congratulate, which really made my Great Song Dynasty raise their eyebrows, I heard that there are many merchants from Fanbang in Guangzhou and Fuzhou now, isn't that the case?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "When I returned to the emperor, the ministers knew the number from two months ago, not counting the merchants of Tibet and Uighurs, in Guangzhou, there were more than 240 permanent residents on the register, and the number was increasing. ”

Renzong was very happy: "Okay, good, people are willing to come to live with us, at least it means that we are better here than they are, these are your credits, I will remember them for you." You're sixteen, isn't she? Do you want to give her a knighthood? ”

Chen Yuan clenched his fists: "The minister doesn't dare to take credit." This title is never sealed, long live, she is just a child. Serving Banzai is what a minister should do. ”

For Chen Yuan, the commerce of the Song Dynasty was already developed in this era, before Chen Yuan arrived, there were many merchants from many countries panning for gold in the Song Dynasty, and in the era of Shenzong, a special market was set up, Chen Yuan did not do anything special, just pushed it, and accelerated the speed a little.

But Renzong doesn't see it that way, in the past three years, the changes in the Great Song Dynasty can be seen by anyone with eyes, not only Bianjing, but also those county towns have become prosperous.

The shipyard built a large ship, weighing more than 800 tons, which was tailor-made for the ocean-going shipping. This kind of ship adopts the most advanced technology of the water barrier in the Great Song Dynasty, and the entire hull has 34 water barrier cabins. This technology predates Europe by more than 200 years, and the 34 water traps mean that even if the ship hits the reef, as long as the ship's planks are not broken, one or two leaking water traps will not affect the navigation at all.

Moreover, more goods can be carried, the launch of this kind of ship, and Zhang Kuangzheng found a partner from the local area in the Nanyang area, which greatly reduced the trade cost of the Great Song Dynasty. After the income of residents increased, those items that were previously only affordable by wealthy families slowly appeared in ordinary people's homes.

These real changes are merits, and an emperor can ensure the living standards of his subjects is his achievements, especially in feudal dynasties, which is not easy. Renzong is really happy, if he can have another brilliant record, it will be enough for him to be the first emperor of the ages.

Renzong said to Chen Yuan: "When the family is together, there is no need to be so polite, if it weren't for your efforts, the Great Song Dynasty would definitely not have today's situation." Shimei, are you planning to solve the problems of Liao first, or do you want to handle the affairs of Dongying and Goryeo first? ”

Conquering Goryeo and expanding the territory for Renzong was Chen Yuan's original promise, but now Renzong is obviously inclined to fight with Liao first.

Chen Yuan could understand Renzong's mood, and finally seized an opportunity to bully Liao Xingzong, and Renzong was naturally unwilling to let it go so easily. If the Liao State was still in internal and external difficulties, Renzong could wait, but now that the Liao State has also begun to reform, he is really afraid that the Liao State is rushing ahead of him.

Liao Xingzong's reform was very purposeful, he first implemented a strong army, and he knew that it was most appropriate to use the army to speak to deal with the Song Dynasty. Although their plan to steal the Wujing General Essentials failed, in the past two years, the Liao army was equipped with a large number of new armors that they had researched themselves, which were said to be used against the Song army's penetrating repeaters.

There are also those fertile fields in Liao Xingzong, which are basically on the Song-Liao border, obviously so that in the event of a war, the Liao State can get supplies more easily. The Liao people also began to pay attention to supplies, which was completely different from their previous combat style, indicating that they faced up to the current Great Song Dynasty and were ready to fight a long and tough battle.

Renzong saw it very clearly, so he was in a hurry.

Chen Yuan said: "Long live, the minister thinks that now is not the time to fight the Liao State. ”

Renzong sighed: "I'm afraid it's getting harder and harder to fight." ”

Chen Yuan was very sure: "Long live don't worry, when we finish the affairs of Goryeo and Dongying, I have a way to let the Liao Kingdom return to the past." ”

Renzong turned his head and looked at Chen Yuan's eyes, and Chen Yuan's eyes told him that this was not a big sentence. Renzong was suspicious in his heart, and after waving away the idlers left and right, he and Chen Yuan found a pavilion and sat down: "Shimei, it seems that Yelu Zongyuan is not ready to fight against Liao Xingzong, do you have any other good way?" ”

Chen Yuan did not hide anything from him: "Long live, Yelu Zongyuan is not undare, the ministers are determined, there must be some agreement between them, the crown prince of Liao has not been determined until now, this is obviously a concession made by Liao Xingzong to Yelu Zongyuan." ”

Renzong nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Chen Yuan said: "I guessed that what can make them both make concessions is likely to be the reform of Liao." When he was in Liao, Liao Xingzong was like a reform, and Yelu Zongyuan also thought that although the two of them were very unhappy because of the position of the prince, if Liao Xingzong implemented reforms, Yelu Zongyuan would not object. I don't know if it's right or not, but I've sent someone to investigate, but there is no result yet. ”

Renzong knew all these situations, but he had never thought about them together, and now when he heard Chen Yuan say this, he also nodded slightly: "What can you do?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "Solve Goryeo and Dongying within two years, and then immediately let all the reforms of the Liao State go to naught." ”

Renzong was still so sure when he heard what he said, and a smile appeared on his face: "Are you going to do this?" ”

Chen Yuan took out a silver ingot from his arms: "Long live, just use it." ”

Then he told Renzong about his plan in detail, but Renzong's face changed after hearing it: "Is it okay to do this?" If we can't stop this, we've been working for nothing all these years. ”

Chen Yuan nodded very affirmatively: "Long live don't worry, I have solved Gaoli and Dongying, I am completely sure of this matter." ”

Renzong finally nodded: "Okay, I'll give you two years, I hope you don't let me down." ”

Chen Yuan smiled and asked very respectfully: "When have I disappointed you?" ”

Chen Yuan is indeed very sure that he will handle the affairs of Goryeo and Dongying within two years, and the two of them just said this, only to hear the report from the people of the palace in front: "Long live, Xia Xiangguo and Master Wen Yanbo came to ask for a meeting." ”

Renzong stood up: "Let's go, I think they are also here to pay New Year's greetings today, let's go and have a look." ”

Chen Yuan basically has very little direct contact with these ministers in the court now, and Song Qi and Xia Sui are watching him in the court, and he is very relieved. He himself is not the material for being an official, but Xia Sui can, and it will be more convenient to wait until tomorrow when Wang Anshi has enough capital to enter the court.

I haven't seen Xia Zhu for a long time, today everyone is on face, if you don't go, it's obviously a bit rude, and now I'm going to see Xia Zhu and Wen Yanbo with Renzong.

Xia Zhu was polite when he saw Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan is not in the court now, there is no conflict of interest between the two of them, so there is no contradiction, Xia Zhu is not the kind of person who looks at you and thinks it is a little dangerous.

Wen Yanbo has been promoted again over the years, and together with Ouyang Xiu, he has become the main force of the second echelon of the Great Song Dynasty, and Renzong also trusts him very much: "Xiangguo, Wen Aiqing, come, come and sit down and talk." ”

"Minister, long live Xie."

After the two thanked each other, they walked a few steps in front of Renzong and stood, and the palace people next to them immediately moved chairs. As soon as he saw the ministers of the court and the central government coming, Su Xiaoyou poured a cup of tea for Renzong with a smile on his face, and then said softly: "Long live, the concubine will retreat first." ”

This is also where Renzong and the ministers of the court can quickly accept this new noble concubine, and she will not listen to things that she should not hear.

After Xia Zhu and Wen Yanbo got up to return the salute to Su Xiaoyou, Su Xiaoyou bowed his head and walked away, and Renzong said, "Is there anything wrong with the two Aiqing?" ”

Xia Zhu looked at Wen Yanbo, Wen Yanbo got up and spoke: "Long live, there is no big deal, that is, when the governor of Guangzhou was in Beijing, he said something to his ministers, he felt that there were more and more Fanbang businessmen in Guangzhou, and there were many people who settled in my Great Song Dynasty, but those barbarians not only did not understand the language, but also did not understand our Great Song Dynasty's human relations code, and made a lot of trouble, and he wanted to set up a special agency to manage these people." ”

After hearing this, Renzong felt that it made sense, and nodded: "Well, does he have an excerpt?" ”

Wen Yanbo shook his head: "Not yet, he just talked to the minister, and the minister felt that this idea was very necessary, so he came to report to Banzai." ”

Renzong pointed to the chair: "Sit down and say, I and Shimei also said those barbarians just now, so let's do it, you let him make a break, and then let the ministers discuss it." ”

Wen Yanbo responded: "Yes, Weichen thought in his heart that when a special place to live should be established, a school should be established so that they can learn the culture of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Chen Yuan didn't react when he said these two items, because these two items should be, but in the end, Wen Yanbo said this sentence, which really surprised Chen Yuan.

"Then set a special law, when the people of Fanbang violate the law of our Great Song Dynasty, they will be judged according to this law."

Chen Yuan knew that the law was definitely not strict, which meant that these Fanbang people could enjoy certain privileges in front of the common people of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the eyes of the scholars of the Song Dynasty, this is normal, it is the bearing of a big country to Fanbang, but in Chen Yuan's view, this is a perversion.

A great country can have grace, and Renzong can reward those envoys with a lot of money, which is not too much. You scholars can also look at those people differently, and that's what you want.

But don't let the common people make offerings to them as if they were foreigners, because this is what you have forced the people to accept with the so-called special law.

Chen Yuan's eyes looked at Wen Yanbo, and Wen Yanbo seemed to be so natural.

He didn't know that in history, Wen Yanbo proposed this law in the Shenzong period, and this law continued until the Southern Song Dynasty, and the consequence was that the Song people in Fuzhou were arbitrarily killed by those people on their own land.

Chen Yuan didn't say anything. This is his current habit, if there is anything to say, go back and say it to Renzong alone, if there is anything to quarrel with, let Xia go to the court with them to quarrel, and he himself tries not to directly intervene in any court fight.

Renzong nodded: "Well, let's go to the book first, write it in detail." ”

Wen Yanbo was very happy to be recognized by Renzong, and clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Weichen obeys the order." ”
