Renzong has actually been quite pitiful all these years, why did he spoil Concubine Pang for so long? That is because the officials have always opposed Renzong's large-scale draft among the people, thinking that it is not good for the people and bad for the emperor's health!

Men are like this, they generally like fresh, and if they want to make Pang Guifei fall out of favor, they must find a woman who can make Renzong obsessed more than her!

What do you think? Even when he picks up girls, he first thinks of his father-in-law, and Chen Yuan feels that his son-in-law is actually doing a very good job. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Sheng's topic had obviously just started, and he was interrupted by Chen Yuan when he was about to continue: "Let's talk about these things later, let's talk about serious things first, the shops I asked you to get, the port, and the things I asked you to bring you to buy grain in Goryeo, how did you do it?" ”

This sentence obviously swept everyone's interest, and also interrupted Chen Sheng's good mood, Chen Sheng muttered: "Shimei, the matter of the shop is no problem, it has been done a long time ago, but the asking price of those Koreans in the port is too high, I don't dare to make my own decisions." As for grain, Goryeo had a bumper harvest this year, but they were unwilling to sell it to us. ”

Chen Yuan's brows furrowed: "Why?" Didn't I say it, the price is not a problem, we can get a little higher than the local price in Goryeo. ”

Chen Sheng's mouth grinned: "It's not a matter of price!" Goryeo is different from us here, their fertile land is in the hands of those royal families, and those royal families listen to their king, saying that unless the two countries formally establish diplomatic relations, the deal will be negotiated. ”

This sentence made Liu Yong and Amuda very angry, and Chen Yuan was also very angry, so the transaction was not to be discussed? Why didn't they say this before? Without the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty, can you survive in Goryeo?

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Song Dynasty bought ginseng and other things from him every year and sold a large amount of silk, would you be able to live in Korea? Still clamoring for what deals to talk about! They saw that Da Song was in difficulty now, so Tie Xin wanted Da Song to establish a relationship with them immediately.

It's easy to talk about the re-establishment of official exchanges between the two sides, Chen Yuanxian started to talk about it, and Renzong was also very interested in having one more friend, but when the two sides talked about the details, there was a difference immediately, and the Goryeo sticks proposed to let the Great Song Dynasty provide them with the current New Year's coins every year according to the current New Year's coins of the Liao Kingdom, which made Fubi, who was in charge of the next negotiations, very angry, and Renzong was also angry, so the matter dragged on.

Think about it, Renzong is thinking about bullying others now, and if you mention this to him, he won't agree at all.

Also, take 10,000 steps back, the New Year's coin of the Liao Kingdom was obtained by fighting with the Great Song Dynasty for decades, and in exchange for the surnames of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, you will want a New Year's coin for a mouth, and it will be the same as others, it is estimated that even if Renzong agrees, Liao Xingzong will not agree.

Chen Yuan's hand was holding the teacup tightly, he wanted to get angry, these Goryeo sticks were his grandmother's virtue. When the Han were strong, they relied on the Han people, and the harem of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties was full of their Goryeo beauties.

When the Han Dynasty was gone, as soon as Xiao Yueben landed, they did not resist at all, and willingly became lackeys, serving Yue himself before and after the saddle and horse, and when Yueben was defeated, they regarded themselves as the victim country and hugged the thigh of the United States tightly.

For these guys, the most effective way is to give them a little bit of power and let them know who the number one in the world is!

But now it's really not good, state affairs are not two people fighting, the problem of food is related to whether the Great Song Dynasty can survive this famine, and whether the people can survive! Therefore, I must get food, even if I feel wronged, I must put the lives of the people first.

"I'll go to the emperor, I'll go to the emperor tomorrow, and I must buy grain from Goryeo, at all costs!"

Liu Yong asked, "Do you want to give the New Year's coins?" ”

The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth launched a cruel smile: "Give, as long as you can survive this famine, give him New Year's coins!" ”

The Great Song Dynasty is really very short of food, even if Renzong has kept the army at home during this time, but the little grain in the treasury is still flowing outside, and there are still ten months to wait for next year's harvest, what should I do in these ten months?

When Chen Yuan saw Renzong, he found that the hair on Renzong's head had turned a lot gray in the past few days!

"Long live, the minister has already organized those merchants, this time our ships have been launched in large numbers, a total of more than a hundred ships are sailing to the South Seas, and they will be able to arrive next spring to transport grain from overseas." Chen Yuan did the thing before he said to Renzong.

This gives Renzong some hope, but will the treasury last next spring? Definitely not, once the grain is cut off in various places, then the form of the Great Song Dynasty will become the same as that of the Liao State now, facing the rebellion of the Mongols and the Liao State that was easy to quell in the past, but it fell into a protracted war.

If there is a rebellion by the victims at that time, the consequences will be very serious.

Renzong squeezed out a smile of approval: "Shimei has a heart, next spring, I don't know if I can last until next spring, Shimei, do you have any other way?" ”

Chen Yuan whispered: "Long live, Goryeo has a bumper harvest this year, I went to them to buy grain, but they didn't sell it, saying that they had to establish diplomatic relations with the Great Song Dynasty, and then sold it to us." ”

Renzong's eyes suddenly erupted with anger: "These things are just bastards!" Shimei, do you know that as long as we can survive this, I won't give the New Year's coins to Liao next year! They actually came to ask for money! ”

Very good! Renzong's attitude, Chen Yuan appreciated it very much.

As a monarch should be, as long as it is beneficial to my country, I will tighten my belly and support Jiao Guluo and Li Shibin in the war. For a country like Goryeo, this attitude should be the same, and the New Year's coin given to Liao should be broken, and it should be broken at the expense of a war.

Chen Yuan took a step forward: "Hooray, can we agree to Goryeo first and bring the grain?" ”

Renzong glanced at him and didn't say anything. He knew that the priority of things could not allow him to act rashly, but he was really unwilling to be bullied by a small country like Goryeo!

Renzong's eyes were full of anger, but he didn't say a word.

Chen Yuan whispered: "To the east of Goryeo, there is also Dongying, and the minister has also sent people to Dongying to buy grain." As far as the minister knew, the Dongying people had long peeped into the territory of Goryeo, and the confrontations between the two countries at sea had been repeatedly defeated in Goryeo before. ”

Renzong nodded: "I know this, in the Tang Dynasty, Goryeo asked for help from the Tang because of the invasion of Dongying. ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Now the country of Goryeo is much stronger than before, and Dongying's warships are not enough to attack Goryeo, I think, use warships to exchange Dongying's grain." ”

Given the big war ship to Xiao Yuben, those dwarves were absolutely unwilling to stay on those four small islands like this. Goryeo will inevitably feel threatened, not much, as long as Xiao Yuben wins the two naval battles, then Xiao Yuben's self-confidence will definitely let them peep at Goryeo.

And what about Goryeo? can only turn to the Great Song Dynasty for help, because the few broken ships of the Liao Navy Division really can't be put on the table.

Moreover, Renzong does not need to pay money to buy grain in this way, as long as he buys the money for the ship. Give this money to the shipyard, and the shipyard can also make a sum of money to stimulate the development of the navigation industry of the Great Song Dynasty.

Renzong glanced at Chen Yuan and smiled.

Chen Yuan also smiled: "Don't hide it, I think that if I can provoke a conflict between Dongying and Goryeo, maybe the ministers will be able to expand the territory for Banzai." ”

Renzong immediately nodded: "Okay, it's better to be like this." You do this, just like Li Shibin, I can't interfere, but you have something to report back to me. ”

If Chen Yuan and Renzong talked about expanding the territory last year, Renzong would definitely treat him as nonsense, but this year, these four words have become an ideal that seems achievable in Renzong's heart.

This question was settled, and Renzong looked at Chen Yuan: "By the way, Shimei, I heard Yi'er say, what newspaper have you been running recently?" ”

Chen Yuan was very contemptuous in his heart, Zhao Yi didn't know about this matter at all! Surveillance is monitoring, and he is not afraid, so he has to find an excuse to say, "Listen to Zhao Yi." ”

Since you said that it was Zhao Yi who said that, the emperor's biggest all-you-can-eat Quartet. Chen Yuan immediately said his intention to start a newspaper, but Renzong was very interested and asked: "Okay, it sounds very interesting, you can do it first, if you do it well, I will also write something." ”

This kind of thing can be done by his father-in-law, thinking that when his villa opened, he wrote his name anonymously, but Chen Yuan didn't know which one was, and he didn't know it until now. I hope that when he submits anonymously in the future, Liu Yong will not criticize too harshly, so that Liu Yong may be unlucky.

Renzong asked a question that he was very concerned about: "Shimei, you only have a year and a half, and you don't go to Western Xinjiang to deal with Li Yuanhao's affairs now. ”

Chen Yuan immediately said: "Long live rest assured, the ministers of the Western Xinjiang are sure in their hearts, now that Li Shibin and Jiaoluo have started fighting, presumably Li Yuanhao will give them some hardships to eat." When they call for help, it's not too late for us to go. ”

Renzong snorted: "You have a good grasp of the proportions yourself, don't let Li Shibin and them lose completely, then it will be troublesome." ”

Chen Yuandao: "This is not going to be, this time Li Yuanhao has no food at all, as long as they can't beat it, they will run, and the party members will not dare to chase it." Long live, long live the minister's work. ”

Renzong said, "What's the matter? You said. ”

Chen Yuan hugged his fists and said very regularly: "This time I went to the Western Xinjiang to fight a battle that must be won, and the minister wanted to ask Banzai to transfer someone to our army." ”

Renzong looked at him: "Who?" ”

"Captain of the Xicheng Gate Forbidden Army, Li Wei."

Renzong's eyes suddenly softened, and the smile on his face slowly bloomed: "Good, very good!" There's no reason why I shouldn't. ”

Chen Yuan transferred Li Wei to give him a chance, not a chance to make meritorious contributions, but an opportunity to prove to the eldest princess that he is a real man!

The eldest princess is now mentally comforted, but what she lacks now is a real man. In addition, Chen Yuan's surname Li Wei has some flaws, everyone has flaws, but Li Wei's flaws have affected his marriage, he is weak in front of his mother and the eldest princess, which dooms him to be unable to solve the contradiction between the eldest princess and her mother-in-law.

Maybe letting him last time on the battlefield can really change something. War is the best stage for reshaping a person.
