Chen Yuan and Xu Ji stayed in the palace for two full hours, Xu Ji's talent made Renzong also appreciate it, and Renzong asked him to come up with a specific plan after he went back, and discuss it with the ministers at the right time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This made Xu Ji a little nervous. To introduce a plan and a suggestion are completely different things, the suggestion you can think of and say, as long as the other party can understand it, but the plan is different, the plan must be argumentative, well-founded, organized, and must take into account all the aspects that you want to touch in this plan.

This is a bit of a challenge for a young man who just has some views on current politics. If he was asked to come up with a plan to discuss with the students at that debate, Xu Ji would not be afraid at all, but this time, it was taken to the court and shown to those big shots. Although he had been preparing for the arrival of the opportunity, Xu Ji did not expect that Chen Yuan would take him to the helicopter.

Renzong didn't promise to do it for him, but it doesn't matter, as long as Renzong is willing to listen to his own opinions, as long as his plan can be passed by the court, the name Xu Ji will be in the list of court officials sooner or later.

When the two of them were sitting in the carriage, Chen Yuan looked at Xu Ji with a smile: "Aren't you a little nervous?" ”

Xu Ji nodded: "Yes, I'm afraid that the plan I wrote will be questioned by those ministers." ”

Chen Yuan said slowly: "What's there to worry about like this, even the recitals written by Master Fan are often rejected, let alone you?" I'm telling you, no matter how well you write your plan, there will be people who will oppose it, and they will definitely be able to find the right reason. So don't think about it, you have to believe that you are right, and that's enough. ”

Xu Ji's gaze was a little firmer: "Thank you, uncle." ”

"That's it, I'll call Liu Yong when I go back, he has a lot of ideas about Liao now, some of which are not published, but they are really well written, you go back and refer to it, and have a better grasp of the current situation. If you need to open your mouth, I will arrange a place for you to stay. ”

Xu Ji was very grateful to Chen Yuan: "Yes, Uncle Lao is worried, uncle, can you stop the carriage, I'll go down for a while, and I'll go to the house by myself in a while." ”

Chen Yuan asked, "What are you going down to do?" When we get back, it should be time for dinner, and if things are not in a hurry, let's go back and do it again. ”

Xu Ji scratched his head: "I, I want to buy some gifts." I know that my uncle doesn't care about this, but I just go with empty hands, I'm afraid that others will say that I don't know how to be polite. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Han Qi, stop." ”

When he returned to the Horse Mansion, before he entered the gate, suddenly a stick flew towards Chen Yuan, fortunately, his reaction was quite fast, he dodged to the side, and looked inside, between Ning Ge'er and Chen Dongge were scuffling together, and the stick was thrown by the two of them.

Brother Chen Dong is now equivalent to Pang Xi's apprentice, Chai Yang and Qing Yuan also came to teach him at the same time, and this kid is very knowledgeable about learning martial arts. But even so, he couldn't get any bargain from Brother Ning.

Brother Ning, like his old man, is perverted. Although Chen Yuan has always avoided letting Brother Ning learn martial arts, no matter what tricks Brother Chen Dong uses, he can always find a way to crack it slowly, and as he gets older, it takes less and less time for him to crack it. Pang Xi told Chen Yuan that if he found someone to give Ning Ge'er a little guidance, then this kid would definitely be the second Li Yuanhao in the future.

As soon as the two of them saw Chen Yuan's figure appear, they immediately let go of their hands. Chen Yuan pointed to the stick outside: "Who threw it?" ”

Brother Chen Dong often can't take advantage of Brother Ning in fights, but the reaction to deal with such things is faster than Brother Ning'er, as soon as Chen Yuan's words fell, his hand pointed at Brother Ning: "Dad, it's him!" ”

Brother Ning only remembered to defend at this time: "It's obviously your stick, why are you a scoundrel?" ”

Brother Chen Dong said: "If you don't grab it, how can this stick fly out?" ”

These two children are both thirteen or fourteen years old, and they usually study in a school, and there are many fights, but the relationship between the two is very good.

Chen Yuan walked over and slapped the two heads: "Get out, go back and read the book, you look at other people's reading Chen, it's not as old as you, everyone can memorize the Analects and Poetry Sutras, and you are embarrassed to be so big every day." ”

Brother Chen Dong shook his head: "What's so good about studying?" A few days ago, Brother Ning and I had a fight in the school, and the two of us beat seven people and beat them all down. ”

Chen Yuan didn't talk to him either, as soon as he raised his palm, Brother Chen Dong didn't dare to say anything more, he raised his leg and ran away, and Brother Ning also ran after him.

Looking at Ning Ge'er's back, Chen Yuan suddenly became a little worried. This child has grown up, and in another three or four years, he will be considered an adult, and he can even join the army and go to the battlefield. How should I be suitable for him?

Let him go to the battlefield, Chen Yuan was afraid that he would really become the second Li Yuanhao. Treating him as a prince of peace and placing him under house arrest in the capital, Chen Yuan felt that it was too cruel to a child. It was his father who made the mistake, and there was no need to let his father's actions in his life bear the consequences.

Zhao Yi walked out of the house: "Xianggong, why did you come back so early today?" ”

Only then did Chen Yuan put away his worries about Brother Ning: "Oh, I have something to do when I come back today, let the room cook a few good dishes, and there are guests coming in the evening." ”

Zhao Yi smiled: "How many people came?" It just so happens that my sister and they also come at night, if there are not many people, let's have a table. ”

"Eldest princess, they are also coming? What's the matter? ”

Since the eldest princess and Li Wei reconciled, the eldest princess learned to accommodate Li Wei a little, and Li Wei also understood that as a man, he could not live for a lifetime with the title of concubine, and their relationship was much better than before.

But these two people are not very authentic, and after they reconciled, they left Chen Yuan behind, and when they were out of the festival over the years, the two sides visited politely, and they rarely took the initiative to come to the door.

Zhao Yi said: "I heard that my father and the emperor are mobilizing troops to the north, and this time Li Wei's troops are also going to go on the expedition, I invited my sister to come, so it can be regarded as seeing Li Wei off." ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "It's okay, I haven't seen you for a long time, and this time let the eldest princess help see people." I found a posterity for Chunmei, and let that posterior come to dinner tonight. ”

Zhao Yi was stunned: "Huh? Can that family have such a big face? Let you personally invite him to dinner? ”

Chen Yuan smiled, hugged Zhao Yi's shoulder and kissed her forehead: "Don't ask more, go and let the room prepare, you'll know in a while." ”

Liu Yong was the first to come, then Xu Ji, and finally the eldest princess and Li Wei and his wife.

The etiquette of the Song Dynasty was very strict, if Xu Ji came alone, Chen Yuan planned to make the banquet casual, just treat it as a family banquet. But Li Wei and Liu Yong also came, so women couldn't eat at the table.

But a man can, even if it's Pang Xi's identity, he can sit down.

When two or three people were talking, Xu Ji could still look at the other party's mouth shape to determine what the other party was saying, but there were a little more people, and he was obviously a little difficult to deal with.

Chen Yuan understood him and controlled the speed of the conversation very slowly.

"Li Wei, where did the emperor let you go this time?"

"Hejian Mansion, it's Bai Yutang where they are, I went with General Ren Fu this time, none of our soldiers have ever fought, I really don't have confidence in my heart." Li Wei's brows furrowed.

Chen Yuan smiled: "Wasn't you very brave before, why are you afraid now?" ”

Li Wei looked at him: "Didn't you live every time you wanted to live before?" ”

The last time he went to the party with Chen Yuan was so desperate, it was because he had suffered setbacks in his life at that time, and he felt that it was better to live than to die. But now it's different, it's very moisturized, and if you lose your life on the battlefield, there are too many things you can't reluctant.

"Shimei, let me ask you about something, did we go to Hejian Mansion this time to fight in Liao?"

Li Wei's eyes looked at Chen Yuan, and the expression on his face was very expectant.

Chen Yuan picked up the wine glass and touched it with him: "Let me tell you, our father-in-law is a good father-in-law, even if you don't want to live, he is still afraid that the princess will be widowed." Let's be honest with you, I came up with the idea. Now that the situation at the border of Liao is unstable, just send more people to watch in the city. The first is to prevent the enemy from attacking us, and the other is to let the Liao State also send some troops out. ”

Chen Yuan's meaning is that there is an arms race, the Great Song Dynasty will put a million troops at the border pass and do nothing, and the Liao people will let at least 800,000 people watch. The cost of this army is an astronomical amount, and the Song Dynasty can hold it, but the Liao State can't. Especially when the copper coins left by Liao Xingzong depreciated rapidly, the people of Liao would be very sad.

Li Wei didn't know much about the arms race, but it didn't matter, when he heard that he only needed to stay in the city, he was much more relieved, and his expression was a lot more relaxed: "Oh, that's good." I thought the emperor really asked me to fight the Liao people. ”

Chen Yuan said: "You watch your troops, don't make any mistakes, and don't tell the princess that you are just staying in the city this time, you know?" ”

Li Wei was stunned for a moment: "I was about to say it, I thought she would be very happy to hear it, you don't know what she has been worried about me these days." ”

Chen Yuan's mouth grinned: "Are you stupid?" I ask you, does it feel good that she is worried about you? ”

Li Wei replied very simply: "Okay! ”

"That's it, don't say anything, you know? If you come back, if you have military merits, you will say that you have military merits, and if you have no military merits, she will ask you about things on the battlefield, and you will say don't let her worry, don't tell her. ”

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he asked casually: "Who is your prison army this time?" Is it easy to get along? No, I'll arrange for you to go with someone you know. ”

Li Wei's face was strange for a while: "This, people are very familiar, but you can change me to the best one, it is Liang Huaiji." ”

Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then scolded: "Which bastard arranged this?" ”

"We caught lots, dozens of prison guards, dozens of generals, and I was caught with him."

Chen Yuan was speechless, there was no way to do it, since Ren Fu used this method of drawing lots, it means that he was not arranging the prison army, everyone was resigned to fate, who was arrested by whom, and it was really inconvenient for him to say anything. Since the two of you brothers are caught together, it means that Liang Huaiji and Li Wei have fate.

Chen Yuan stopped talking about this topic, and turned his head to look at Xu Ji, who had been sitting on the side and carefully observing their mouth shapes: "Xu Ji, you said very well about the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and Fanbang, and I also said it today, he will pick a suitable opportunity to promote the exchange between the vassal state and our Great Song Dynasty, but the Liao State will not work." ”

Xu Ji immediately said in that somewhat strange voice: "I understand that the Liao State and we are now in a hostile situation, and both sides will restrict each other's activities, and at this time, the imperial court will not play any role at all. ”

Chen Yuan said: "I plan to set up a goods store in Liao, nominally for the people-to-people trade between the two sides, in order to help connect the merchants of the Liao Dynasty and the merchants of the Song Dynasty, but in fact to promote the cultural concepts of our Great Song Dynasty and change the attitude of the Liao people towards us." How's it going, are you going to do it well? ”

Xu Ji shook his head: "Uncle, I don't really understand." ”

Chen Yuan knew that what he said might be too general, and he didn't know how to play the color revolution, so he just explored it slowly. Even if it is not successful in Liao, it does not matter, you can accumulate some experience for other problems in the future.

"Let's put it this way, set up a cargo bank, specializing in the purchase of goods from those Liao merchants, while receiving the goods, you can put forward technical requirements for their products, in order to meet this requirement, you have to build a special school, teach some skilled Liao craftsmen. Of course, this is just a disguise, whether they will craft is secondary, the main thing is that after they pass the study, they can yearn for the life of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Xu Ji nodded: "I understand, I'm willing to go, but I don't know much about business, so I ask my uncle to send someone over to help." ”
