Zhao Yingying felt that such an opportunity was rare today, so he and Kou Zhun were there, and there was no trouble, and the grasp of persuading his father was quite big. In history, Fan Zhongyan was able to persuade the emperor to carry out reforms, and he could do it himself, and Zhao Yingying also decided to take this opportunity to give it a try, once successful, his pace would be a big step forward.

"Father, take advantage of today's opportunity to tell you about thaumaturgy. Thaumaturgy contains three main parts, one is economic, the second is industry, and the third is agriculture. The economy is mainly about promoting commercial development, accelerating the circulation of goods and the economy, and in the process greatly increasing the output value. Industry is mainly about accelerating the accumulation of wealth in society. Needless to say, agriculture is a necessity for people's livelihood and the primary factor for maintaining social stability. "Zhao Yingying doesn't care if they can understand it or not, it sounds tall anyway.

"My Great Song Dynasty is barely able to get by in agriculture now, but there is still a lot of room for improvement, I believe that according to the method of Erchen, there will be no more famine in the Great Song Dynasty" Zhao Ying boasted to Song Zhenzong.

"What the emperor said is true, there really won't be another famine?" Song Zhenzong asked eagerly. You must know that although the Song Dynasty was rich at this time, it was relatively speaking, and famine was inevitable.

"What the son said is true, and he must not dare to say anything. Thaumaturgy has documented ways to increase agricultural yields, and Erchen is now collecting talents from all walks of life through the Royal Academy, hoping that through them they will understand the content of thaumaturgy and benefit the people of our Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Well, I've heard about that. It is said that you rewarded a man named Hodgsheng with a thousand taels of silver just because he wrote a book, right? Song Zhenzong asked with a smile.

"Yes, Father. Erchen wants to use this to attract more buried talents and tap their potential to do things for my Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Yingfu nodded in acknowledgement.

"Erchen will talk about this economy, in fact, my Great Song Dynasty has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, but these wealth have not reflected their due value. The value of money lies in the redistribution in the process of its circulation, and this process of distribution actually creates all kinds of tangible or intangible wealth for the Great Song Dynasty, which is actually what the state needs. No matter how much silver there is in the treasury, which cannot be eaten or clothed, it can only be a pile of useless things, and it does not fundamentally reflect its value. And my Great Song Dynasty emphasized the importance of agriculture and industry, and put this businessman who played a decisive role in economic circulation at the bottom of the society, is it appropriate for you to say? ”

In the face of Zhao Yingying's question, Song Zhenzong remained silent, and the concept formed for a long time was not so easy to change. This is why Zhao Yingfu can say this, if others don't have the opportunity to say this.

Kou Zhun opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, the old minister thinks that what you said has some truth. However, the class concept of Shinong industry and commerce has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not easy to change it, and I am afraid that it will be attacked by the masses! ”

"The worries of my father and Kou Lao, my sons and ministers are all aware that these problems are indeed big problems to face. However, Erchen believes that my Great Song must not be kidnapped by the Shidafu group, and it is imperative to change the law. In order to escort the change of law, it is necessary to have absolute control over the force, including force, of course. ”

"Erchen plans to recruit people from all over the world through the large-scale promotion of the Royal Academy and the Enlightenment Academy, and select talents with both talent and character to join my law change team. Because they come from the bottom of society and understand the needs of the general public, they can help us unite the common people and establish the prestige of the imperial court. What is rare is that they come from humble backgrounds, have little to do with the existing scholar group, and have a tendency to oppose each other, which is equivalent to supporting a force against the existing scholar group. ”

Song Zhenzong and Kou Zhun both nodded in agreement, and Song Zhenzong said: "After listening to what the emperor said so much, the emperor seems to have started planning a long time ago!" The plan is detailed and well prepared, and the emperor really arouses my curiosity! Tell my father what other arrangements are in the future, and my father should be prepared. ”

"Father, the emperor said, you are not allowed to make fun of the son." Zhao Yingfu sprinkled a plate of tender Jiao on Song Zhenzong.

"Haha...... don't laugh, don't laugh, my father promises not to laugh." After saying that, I couldn't help but laugh.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you didn't be coquettish just now, the old minister thought he was listening to adults talking about national affairs! Your Highness is so good, the old ministers have almost forgotten that you are still a child! Kou Zhun was also happy when he looked at Zhao Fu's funny expression.

"Father, don't laugh! Erchen still has a plan! Did you know that there are a lot of weapons manufacturing options in this thaumaturgy, but most of them can't be done due to the current industrial conditions? However, there are still a few more that can be made, and I think it is barely enough to deal with the Northern Barbarians. Erchen's idea was to select elites from all armies across the country and gather them, equip them with new weapons, and conduct rigorous training to fight against the Northern Barbarians or maintain domestic stability. Moreover, this army has to be led by the emperor himself, and he has to find an excuse to gag the ministers. The new weapons will be handed over to the sons, and I hope that the father will put the generals in the hands of the sons, and the sons will need to use them. Zhao Huili proposed his own military plan to Song Zhenzong.

Song Zhenzong pondered for a long time, and then looked at Kou Zhun and asked, "What does Kou Lao think?" ”

"After listening to what His Highness said, the old minister felt that it was very feasible. With scholars from poor backgrounds as tongues, public opinion in society will not be controlled by the scholar group, and they will not be afraid of them gathering crowds to make trouble. Coupled with the absolute control of force, there are also precautions for those who are stubborn. Lao Chen wants to have the guarantee of these two aspects, and it is not a big problem to pay a little attention to the method and progress in the process of changing the law. "Of course, Kou Zhun will not dismantle the stage at this time.

Song Zhenzong also nodded, and then said: "Emperor, after you go back, write a detailed excerpt on the construction of the army, and say that the Northern Barbarians want to knock on my Great Song Dynasty, and in order to enhance the field combat capability of our Great Song Army, a new army will be formed." When the time comes, I will make you a general and be in charge of the manufacture of weapons. The Royal Academy will ask Kou Lao to bother more. ”

"Erchen (Lao Chen) obeys the order!" Zhao Fuyi and Kou Zhun replied in unison.

"Father, the sons have an idea, see if you can let the talented ministers of the court take turns to give lectures at the Royal Academy, so that they can introduce their experiences to the young students." Zhao Yingyi suddenly remembered this, and thought of Song Zhenzong's proposal.

"Well, this method is very good, my father has made a decree, and you can just look at it in the future." Song Zhenzong agreed briskly.

"Father, you rest early, and your son will go back to prepare." Kou Zhun also said goodbye to Song Zhenzong and left the Vertical Arch Hall after Zhao Yingying.

Zhao Yingfu helped Kou Zhun to his East Palace, and after watching the tea offering, the two began to discuss the details.

"Elder Kou, you have to pay more attention to your body, this prince still has many places to rely on you!" Zhao Yingfu looked at Kou Zhun's aging face and sighed.

"Hey, I'm old, it's useless. Lao Chen also wants to take advantage of his ability to help His Royal Highness more, and when he succeeds, His Royal Highness will not forget to burn a piece of paper for Lao Chen to tell, and Lao Chen will be pleased if he knows. Kou Zhun said that he didn't care, he had already looked down on life and death, but his wish had not been fulfilled.

"Prince Ben believes that there will be a day." Zhao Yingfu looked at Kou Zhun and promised.

"Elder Kou, the people on the list I gave you before, if there is an opportunity, try to let them go to the Royal Academy to get in touch. The minister who will be sent to teach will be arranged by you, so please take care of it. In the future, the prince's energy may be more shifted to the area of prison and army training, and he must teach the northern barbarians a heavy lesson in order to relieve the hatred in his heart. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old minister of the province. You're still young, and there's a lot of time, so don't rush it. Kou Zhun still didn't forget to remind Zhao Yingying, afraid that he would be young and impulsive.

Zhao Ying's chin gestured that he remembered.

"Elder Kou, Fan Zhongyan's ability is indeed very strong, I hope you will help him more in the future, this prince will be of great use to him in the future. He happens to be in the house, so I'll bring him to meet you. After Zhao Yingfu finished speaking, he instructed Xiao Shunzi to invite Fan Zhongyan to meet.

"Your Highness, Weichen is here, what do you command?" Fan Zhongyan said respectfully to Zhao Yingying.

"Fan Aiqing, come and ......, I've seen Kou Xiang, and I'll ask him for advice in the future." Zhao Yingying pulled Fan Zhongyan to Kou Zhun.

"Weichen Fan Zhongyan, I've seen Kou Xiang, please advise." Fan Zhongyan also bowed to Kou Zhun deeply.

"Don't dare to advise, how old is the old man who is older than you, and you will have the opportunity to communicate more in the future! Together, let us help Your Highness achieve great things through the ages. Kou Zhun modestly said to Fan Zhongyan that he was deeply influenced by the virtues of the Chinese nation.

"Wechen is deeply honored to have the opportunity to conspire with the prince and the lord." Fan Zhongyan felt abnormal.

"The old man is old, the emperor is also old, and the world will depend on you young people in the future." Kou Zhun said meaningfully.

"Don't be humble to each other, come and ......, sit down and talk slowly." Zhao Yingfu pulled the two of them to sit down again and discussed future plans together.

"This prince thinks so, things in the court still have to have Lao Kou, you are old and respectful, and you can hold up a piece of territory for us in the court. The affairs of the academy will be taken care of by Fan Aiqing, presumably tomorrow my father will make an order, so prepare for it. There are also some children in the academy who are expected to receive new learning, hoping that they will teach new learning in the academy, which is especially important in the future of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is necessary to keep an eye on it. I'll leave everything to the two of you! Zhao Ying bowed solemnly to the two.

The two of them also hurriedly got up to return the salute, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, rest assured, the ministers will do their best to live up to His Highness's trust." ”

"Both of you have worked hard, go back and prepare well, and if you have any difficulties, come to Prince Ben. By the way, Fan Aiqing doesn't have a place to live in the capital! Zhao Yingying thought for a while and said: "In this way, this prince bought you a courtyard house in the capital, and the family has sent someone to pick it up, so you can do it with peace of mind!" If you have any difficulties, just say it, don't look out of sight, you know? ”

"Wechen thanks His Royal Highness the Prince!" Fan Zhongyan was so moved that he was speechless, and he only bowed to the ground with five bodies.

As the saying goes: "A woman is a woman who pleases herself, and a man who is a confidant dies." At this moment, this idea popped up in Fan Zhongyan's heart.
