Zhao Yan listened to what Mao Geng said, and he was also quite moved.

Zhao Yan will certainly not take lightly the matter of Emperor Gaozong's wolf bèi escaping on the sea that day. The idea of leaving one more way to retreat, perhaps in Zhao Tuan's early years, there would never be one, but time has passed, Zhao Tuan can only reluctantly accept the reality of the division of the north and the south, not only has the ambition of the Northern Expedition been consumed, but also feels that "before the victory, the first consideration" is really a wise saying, the historical lessons are there, as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties, and there will eventually be a day of decline, the Great Song Dynasty is also the right thing to do, and it is not bad to have a retreat at sea.

Think about that year, during the Jianyan period, the Jin soldiers 100,000 troops crossed the river to attack the Song Dynasty, took Jiankang, occupied Lin'an, Emperor Gaozong fled all the way to the Zhoushan Islands by boat, and then the Jin soldiers chased after him, and even took advantage of the storm to occupy the Zhoushan Islands, and then released countless ships to search for Gaozong, Gaozong had to take a boat to drift on the sea, that period of wolf bèi days, it was really unbearable. If there is a large island across the sea as a rear, the benefits are of course self-evident.

And Zhao Dan's thoughts are different, Zhao Dan said in his heart, his father's handover is only in the past two years, even if he occupies Yizhou Island in the hands of his father, he will have to wait until his own hands to truly turn this Yizhou Island into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Mao Geng noticed Zhao Yan's eager expression, and saw Zhao Yan groaning, so he was secretly proud that he could think of the wonderful idea of making Taiwan a special zone.

But at this time, Mr. Xiao Sui said again:

"Brother Mao's words, it is really a little young and ignorant, in the past, Emperor Yang of Sui sent troops to expedition to 'Ryukyu', presumably it was Yizhou that was conquered, but he returned in vain. I think it is still difficult for the alien races in the Great Song Dynasty to be naturalized, and it is not easy to subdue the indigenous people of Yizhou! Besides, I already have a Qiongzhou Island in the Great Song Dynasty, even if I want to follow the strategy of Brother Mao, why bother to seek the near and far! ”

Xiao Sui pointed out his fallacy, and Liuzheng also felt that what Xiao Sui said was reasonable, but Liuzheng was not as sharp as Xiao Sui's, but said:

"Mao Yisheng, conquering foreign races is not a simple matter, you said that Yizhou Island is huge, can it be bigger than Qiongzhou Island! I don't dare to say that the Great Song Dynasty has done a good job in governing Qiongzhou Island, Mao Yisheng is young and young, not afraid of difficulties, this is of course a good thing, but it is not easy to govern since ancient times, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the desert, invincible, but behind the eternal achievements, the disadvantages of opening up the territory and expanding the territory are only known to those in power. Barbarians are difficult to govern after all, such as the Xinhua Meishan Barbarian, I have been stacked for dozens of hundreds of years, which has gradually become today's situation. Even so, Meishanman still has trouble from time to time. Therefore, the old minister thought that the affairs of Yizhou should be done cautiously. ”

Both of them took Qiongzhou, that is, Hainan Island, to talk about things, but Mao Geng didn't think about it very carefully before, and in a hurry, he forgot about the huge Hainan Island. In fact, it is not impossible to go to Hainan Island to build a secret base, but if you want to set up a special zone on Hainan Island, it is estimated that Zhao Yan will never agree. And in a special zone on a territory that does not belong to the Great Song Dynasty for the time being, the emperor is much more likely to loosen his mouth.

If you don't engage in the Special Economic Zone, you will still stumble over anything, and it will be the most boring! Besides, I want to leave the emperor's sight as far away as possible, so that I can be more free, and I can concentrate on my development, and it is best not to be hindered by anything. To put it bluntly, what I want is a blank piece of paper to draw the latest and most beautiful pictures. Why are these two old men in front of them so uninteresting! Don't they know that they are in the way of people's wealth, like murdering their parents?

The good-natured Mao Geng was also angry at this time, and said in a somewhat impatient tone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, firstly, the island that the kid said is bigger than Qiongzhou Island, but a little farther away; Second, although it is slightly farther than Qiongzhou Island, it is also within the scope of our Great Song Dynasty Naval Division, and to conquer this island, 8,000 soldiers and horses are enough; Third, although Qiongzhou Island is good, it may not be suitable for long-distance exploration; Fourth, that fourth, the kid thinks that the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is really not as far as the Han and Tang Dynasties! Don't you want a huge borderless island in front of you? ”

After saying these four points, Mao Geng was still unsatisfied, and said out of nothing:

"If the Great Song Dynasty doesn't want it, I heard from my teacher that the Japanese are planning how to take this Yizhou Island for themselves."

The Japanese want to seize Taiwan, Mao Geng thought that this was not completely apocryphal, it didn't have this idea today, but hundreds of years later, there were not only ideas but also actions, so when he said this, Mao Geng seemed at ease.

Zhao Dian was also very impatient with the two old ministers, and now he heard Mao Geng say that even if the Great Song Dynasty did not occupy Yizhou Island there, it could not be seized by others, not to mention that it only took 10,000 men and horses to take this island, how could it be polite!

Zhao Dian said to Zhao Yanshi:

"The son asked his father to be invited by Mao Geng, and the son was willing to lead 10,000 troops to take this island."

Zhou Bida's heart is in favor of occupying Yizhou, if he can occupy Yizhou when he is the prime minister of the left, it is also enough to comfort the merits of his life, this is the time to show his attitude, so he said in time:

"Qi Yu official's family, the old minister thinks that Yizhou should be taken, and if the sky does not take it, he will be blamed. Our Great Song Army has not moved for decades, so we might as well take Yizhou as a combat training, so as to prepare for the Northern Expedition in the future. It's just that the old minister thinks that the enemy is lenient, and he must prepare 20,000 soldiers and horses and millions of money before he can enter Yizhou. As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to lead troops to the battle, the old minister thought that it was just a Yizhou Island, and there was no need for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take risks. ”

Zhou Bida has always had a dream of the Northern Expedition in his heart, which can be seen from his close relationship with the main battle faction's 6 You, Fan Chengda, and Yang Wanli.

Mao Geng saw that Zhou Bida strongly agreed, and his heart suddenly relaxed, but he was worried that Zhao Yan would be reluctant to take out the internal money that he had accumulated with great difficulty, so he hurriedly said:

"The official family may not need a million dollars. The kid dared to say that even if he spent one million yuan and the output of Yizhou, he would be able to return the principal and interest to the official family after five years. ”

Zhao Yan listened to Mao Geng's words, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he had accumulated more than five million guan money over the years, and spent one million guan to capture a Yizhou that crossed Qiongzhou Island, of course, it was a cost-effective thing, and the achievement of expanding the territory was a great temptation for any emperor, and Zhao Yan was not exempt from vulgarity.

And what Zhou Bida said is very reasonable, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have not used swords for many years, and it is time to test it with actual combat. With the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, the risk of rashly going on a northern expedition is too great, but it is still certain to bully the barbarians.

However, Zhao Yan turned to another thought, just now Zhao Yan asked to lead the troops to the battle, but it made Zhao Yan think of his grandson Zhao Yan. Zhao Tuan is the son of Zhao Kai, and Zhao Kai is still the brother of Zhao Dan, but Zhao Tuan did not follow the principle of establishing a prince and establishing a long term after comparing Zhao Kai and Zhao Dan. Zhao Kai, who was supposed to be the crown prince, was replaced by Zhao Dan, but the result was that Zhao Dan, who was his younger brother, became the prince, and Zhao Kai was just crowned a king.

It later proved that it was right to choose Zhao Kai as the crown prince, because Zhao Kai died untimely at the age of 35 eight years ago. But Zhao Kai's son Zhao Yan has been extremely smart since he was a child, and in Zhao Tuan's eyes, Zhao Lu obviously has more royal talents than Zhao Dan, so Zhao Yan wanted to abolish Zhao Duan several times and pass the throne to Zhao Luan. But on the issue of easy storage, the emperor and a cadre of courtiers are opposed, and now the emperor is gone, but after several temptations, the courtiers still refuse to be accommodating, which makes Zhao Yan very dissatisfied.

The Northern Expedition failed in his early years, and he still couldn't see the hope of success of the Northern Expedition after a lifetime of hard work, and in his later years, he was hindered in the matter of easy storage, and Zhao Yan was inevitably a little disheartened. At this time, Jin Shizong died, and it was Jin Shizong's grandson who succeeded him, the milky Wan Yan Jing, and the hateful thing was that he had to deign to call Wan Yan Jing his uncle. Therefore, Zhao Yan has been thinking about whether to give the throne to Zhao Dan immediately these days, and he can't bear to call Yan Jing his uncle, so let Zhao Dan deal with this kind of shame-hurting thing for himself!

But Mao Geng's plan to capture Yizhou made Zhao Yan feel that there was still a chance to fight, although Zhao Yan did not rashly decide to attack Yizhou immediately, but he already had a plan in his mind to fight for Zhao Yan's last chance. Zhao Yan thought that the most suitable person to lead the troops to Taiwan had been designated as Zhao Lu at this moment, and Zhao Tuan felt that if Zhao Lu had the merit of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, maybe the ministers would be able to accept Zhao Luan to take over the throne.

When Zhao Yan thought about this, he suddenly felt comfortable in his heart, so he had the heart to make today's court pair easier, so he smiled and said:

"Mao Yisheng, do you dare to guarantee that in five years, you will definitely be able to make Yizhou's tax exceed one million! One million guan is not a small amount, hehe, you calculate, how much cement you have to sell to make a million. ”

Mao Geng also regretted that he had spoken too much just now, and all kinds of accidents were possible in reality, but the words were already full, and he must not retreat at this time, otherwise it would be bad to let Xiao Sui's old man give him a crime of bullying or something, it would be bad! At the very least, if he fulfills what he just said, "young and ignorant", his brand image will inevitably be greatly reduced. Anyway, Taiwan's value is far more than one million yuan, which can be verified sooner or later, and today it is no longer flattering to Xiao Sui anyway, so let's just say it more toughly:

"Qiqi official, the kid thinks that if you occupy Yizhou for five years, as long as the taxes are exempted for the first five years, it will not be a problem for Yizhou's taxes to exceed 400,000 yuan a year after five years, and you will be able to recover 1oo million yuan with interest within ten years. If the official family doesn't believe it, the kid is bold, so he will make a bet with the official! ”

Zhao Tuan also played a heart just now, Mao Geng said that the output after five years, but in Zhao Tuan's mouth, it became a tax after five years, Mao Geng of course can't fall for Zhao Tuan, if Taiwan's annual tax is not 400,000 yuan after five years, then he can only say that he is incompetent. Presumably, by then, his annual profit will not be less than 300,000 yuan.

As for betting, Mao Geng just said it in passing, not so much an invitation to gamble, but an attitude of conviction, anyway, Zhao Tuan is the emperor, can he really make a bet with a teenager himself!

Who knew that Zhao Tuan laughed and said:

"I remember that there is a sentence in Su Dongpo's words, 'The old man talks about juvenile madness', okay! Today, I will talk about a juvenile maniac and make a bet with you Mao Yisheng, how do you say to gamble? ”

Zhao Tuan said in his heart, even if the tax in five years can only reach 4o million yuan a year after five years, it is already an amazing miracle for an island that was still a wild land five years ago, as long as there is such a situation, the imperial court will make a steady profit, let alone win the entire Yizhou Island.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Tuan had no psychological burden, and for a while his childlike heart rose, and he was very curious about what Mao Geng wanted to bet on this gamble.

Zhao Tuan actually accepted the gambling contract, which couldn't help but make the people present look at each other, and they were a little stunned for a while.

But then Xiao Sui admonished:

"Official, court affairs, how can it be child's play!"

Zhou Bida felt that Zhao Tuan had signs of regaining his ambitions, which was a great thing. It is said that 4o million guan is already equivalent to the income of two taxes on a road in Guangnan West Road, if you rely on a gambling game to get an extra 4o million guan of taxes, even if the emperor wants to play Guan Pu, so what's the matter! Zhou Bi bowed to Xiao Sui again and again, telling him not to do much, and it was not too late to listen to what kind of gamble it was.

When Mao Geng heard this, he really didn't believe his ears, when did Zhao Tuan become a gambler! I have the impression that Zhao Tuan was originally a five-good emperor, what happened today!

But at this time, the car could no longer be stopped, Mao Geng thought about it, gritted his teeth, and had to bite the bullet and say:

"This gamble, anyway, it doesn't make the official family suffer. The kid calculated, the cement plus the timetable, the two add up to 150,000 guan a year is not a problem, if after occupying Yizhou for five years, the tax can not reach 400,000 guan a year, then the kid loses, and the kid will dedicate these two skills to the official. Before that, the money earned by these two items didn't want any kids, but it was said in advance that these two items could only be placed in Yizhou. ”

Zhao Tuan said that this can be regarded as sincere, as for whether the two can add up to 150,000 yuan a year, Zhao Tuan doesn't care very much. What Zhao Tuan cares about is that according to this posture, it seems that Mao Geng will definitely win, so what will Mao Geng want from himself if he wins, this has to be asked clearly:

"What if you do win?"

Mao Gengxin said that this is to talk to Zhao Tuan about conditions, it seems that Zhao Tuan is famous for slamming the door, no matter what! Now, there is no way to manage so much, Mao Geng carefully threw out his conditions:

"If the kid wins, first, the kid wants these two bonuses of 20%; Second, ask the official family to give a piece of land to the boy in Yizhou. ”

Mao Geng mentioned this because he believed that these two projects should have been produced by a government-private partnership, and if it was only a loss to sell technology, the government-private partnership would be reasonable. Second, the land in Yizhou was originally a windfall from the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no need for the Great Song Dynasty to take money from the pocket, and it was also appropriate to give yourself a piece of land there. Mao Geng has also read some history, and he still knows the cases of Wang Jian deliberately greedy for money to protect himself, and this is also one of the strategies to reassure Zhao Tuan.

After listening to Mao Geng's conditions, everyone present became relaxed one by one, and even Xiao Sui rolled up his beard, obviously thinking that this matter was not only not a loss for the official family, but a very cost-effective one. I can't wait for the official family to agree immediately, as soon as the official family agrees, at least the two technologies of cement and time watch don't need to spend a penny to buy with Mao Geng, and they can make profits from the government, as for five years later, it doesn't matter if they lose or win, anyway, in the end, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty won.

After listening to Mao Geng's conditions, Zhao Tuan smiled happily, and said in his heart that Mao Geng, this kid is kind, as long as the court doesn't take money, it's hard to say if you want a policy!

Although Zhao Tuan was happy in his heart, he still groaned a little, and only said in a half-loud voice:

"Okay, I promise you, as long as I take Yizhou, I will do it according to the gambling game you offered. If you win, the 20% bonus will not be less than yours, and then give 300,000 acres of land in Yizhou to you. No jokes! ”

Zhao Tuan's abacus is that one acre of land in the wilderness is worth three or four yuan, and 300,000 mu can also be converted into one million, but this is a windfall, and it is still unknown whether an acre of land that no one wants can be sold for consistent money. From this point of view, the imperial court has taken a big advantage.

Mao Geng said in his heart, I expected you to agree. The government of later generations is also a virtue, and it is simply difficult to ask the government for money, but if you ask the government for policies, it is often a matter of approving a few words to solve the problem, and the government is not painful at all, presumably Zhao Tuan is also thinking the same at this time.

Mao Geng did the math, Mom! 300,000 acres! What is the concept? Two hundred square kilometers! Earn a lot of money yourself! Even if the land is in Alishan, it is not amazing.
