Zhao Ta was very pleased, these people in the hall were very satisfied with their current situation, and they did not put on old qualifications and stretched out their hands to ask for officials, let alone think about it, but he couldn't treat them badly because of this. Among their children and grandchildren, those who are good at martial arts are sent to military schools, those who are good at literature are sent to Taixue, and those who like to do business go to the hall for training.

Zheng Fu and the others were already old, and they were not suitable for running around, and Zhao Ta himself did not have more energy to manage the affairs of the hall, so he set up a headquarters headed by Zheng Fu, Zheng Shou, and Zheng Lu, and stayed in Beijing to deal with the affairs of each branch. The Shengde Hall in Jiangnan was replaced by Zhang Qu as the head manager; The Shengyi Hall in Jiangbei was taken over by Sun Erqian; The Shengrentang in Hedong and Hexi and Datong was headed by Liu Song.

Sheng Zhongtang of foreign trade due to the call of Cheng Xishou, there is no suitable candidate for the time being, and now foreign trade will usher in a climax with the opening of the port, so it will be temporarily directly managed by the headquarters, in addition to the Dengzhou base, quickly build a base in the other three major commercial ports, expand the size of the fleet, recruit sailors, strive to go to sea as soon as possible, open up new business routes, and earn the first pot of gold.

With the expansion of the army, the demand for weapons will be greater, Zhao Ta decided to reorganize the military workshop in Shuozhou, the Shuozhou workshop will mainly produce artillery, the Taiyuan workshop will be restored to produce guns, and a new Luoyang workshop will be established to produce ammunition, while Xiangyi will still be the main production of food, clothing and other military materials for both military and civilian purposes. At the same time, some of the shipyards in the Quanzhou area were set aside to specialize in the production of military ships.

In addition, all the cabinets should strengthen training, adjust the layout and resume business in Hebei, and set up outlets in various counties to mobilize funds and prepare to cooperate with the issuance, promotion and exchange of Jiaozi by the household department. This business may seem troublesome, but in fact it is very profitable, and the tap is a large amount of conservative profits from drought and flood, and it can also use the credibility of the state to expand the business. Several people are old oilers, how can they not see through the benefits. Of course, it's a pleasure.

Of course, you can't just let the horses run and not give the horses grazing, although the big head will fall into Zhao Ta's pocket in the future. But the dividends he gives to everyone are also a huge fortune, and these things can be done well. It will also bring huge benefits to the Great Song Dynasty and open a door to wealth for the country!

………

On February 15, the Great Dynasty of Wangri, the Great Song Dynasty was discussed by the hall to re-establish the Jiaozi Bureau, the Salt Tea and Wine Bureau, and the four cities of Dengzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, and Haizhou, which were presided over by Zhou Xingji, the head of the household department. At the same time, the tributary trade was abolished, and the ban on opening the sea allowed the people to go to sea to trade directly with foreign caravans, but it was not allowed to involve salt, iron and grain, and merchant ships must enter the port to pay taxes, otherwise they would be punished according to the smuggling theory, and the navy would set up a patrol inspection department to be responsible for maritime inspection.

The Great Song Dynasty was in full swing. Dajin was not idle, although the defeat of the army lost a lot, but in order to boost morale to cover people's eyes, after New Year's Day, the Jin Emperor Wu begged to buy Zonghan, Wushu and others escorted the Song Emperor to Shangjing, and held a grand ceremony to sacrifice prisoners, but this can not hide the dullness of the atmosphere, the emperor's eldest son was captured, Marshal Zuo Han died in a foreign land, and the death of the general Lou Room made people unhappy.

The losses caused to them by the failure of this dispatch were not only the loss of the prince, the lives of the generals and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but also the small amount of loot, except for the property sent back in the early stage and the captured people, all of which were recaptured by the Song people. And it dealt a heavy blow to the economy of the gold country. The sequelae of the plundering economy were exposed at once, and the days returned to the 'pre-liberation' period, and the construction of Shangjing City came to a standstill, and there were half-pulled projects everywhere. And the Jurchens, who had just become rich, had to temporarily restrain their arrogance of being like money like dung on weekdays, and began to run for their livelihoods.

However, the loss of a large number of young people made the Jin State lose a large number of laborers, and in order to prevent the Song Dynasty from attacking and maintaining its rule. They had to draw a large amount of manpower from their limited manpower to maintain a large army, and the already fragile economy was on the verge of collapse.

As the old saying goes: from thrift to luxury. It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Although the Jurchens did not understand this truth, they were used to spending money. Now it is unlikely that they will be able to return to hunting and farming in the mountains and forests. The Southern Dynasties now they don't dare to think about it for the time being, but there are still Bohai, Han, Khitan and Tatar people to bully them, so the oppression of them is becoming more and more serious, but it has led to a large number of people fleeing, and even at the cost of taking risks, gathering in the mountains and forests to embark on the road of resistance.

At the same time, the ruling class of the Jin State was also reshuffled with the failure of this southern expedition. Wu Qimai's eldest son, Wanyan Zongqi, was captured, and the tribes that went out with the army were lost; Although the Zong Han Department of the Prime Minister brought back the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, the troops were also seriously lost, and Zong Han almost fled back by horse; Taizu A Guda died in the first line, Han could not be separated from this important person, and the Wanyan Wushu Department also suffered losses, but the establishment was basically complete, but it surpassed Zong Han of the first line of the national minister, and ranked second...

"Now that the King of Qin of the Southern Dynasty has ascended the throne, he has reorganized the army in a big way, deployed 100,000 new troops in Hebei and Yunzhou, and is stepping up training day and night. Now that all the marshals have returned to Shangjing, Wu Qimai convened a conference to discuss the current situation, and Wan Yanzong, the deputy marshal of the right army, said that he has been leading the army to garrison Yanjing.

"Due to the war a year ago, the transfer of troops was too much, and there were many rebellions in various places, Ah Shu led troops to harass Shangjing several times, threatening the security of the Gyeonggi region, and it has become bigger. Wanyan Zongben then said.

"Your Majesty, now due to the lack of food due to the various ways to raise military funds, the spring famine has appeared, if it is not properly helped, I am afraid it will cause the people to flee!" Wan Yan Xi Yin said.

"Hmph, I have repeatedly admonished that the Southern Dynasty is not uninhabited, and you must not easily raise swords and soldiers again, but you insist on going your own way, resulting in a big defeat, losing a large number of young and strong, and consuming food and salary on the way!" He also said that although he was eating the Divine Pill, his body was weakening day by day, and he was already sweating on his forehead after saying a few words.

"Then what does it mean to be handsome?" Zong Han had advocated attacking the Southern Dynasty, and he naturally felt harsh when he heard the words, and said with a gloomy face.

"Quickly negotiate peace with the southern dynasty...", he glared at Zong Han and said, no matter how he said it, he was also a nominal military commander, but this kid was shouting with him again and again, and he couldn't help but be angry, but halfway through the words, he couldn't breathe.

"Du Shuai's words are reasonable!" Wanyan Xiyin took over and said, "Now that the new emperor of the Southern Dynasty has ascended the throne, this son is very good at using troops, and my Dajin has repeatedly defeated him, this time he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill our army, all because of his unstable position, as long as he eases his hand, he will definitely use troops against my Dajin, it is better to make plans to negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible, in order to sell the army." ”

"Ceres, its abolished emperor is in my Dajin Kingdom, and the Southern Dynasty is a rat trap, how can he start a war lightly, you think too much!" Zong Han said with a sneer, he also found that since he retired from the army, Wanyan Xiyin's attitude towards him did not seem to be as good as before, and he always disagreed with his own opinions.

"Sticky Han, it is precisely because of his abolition of the emperor in my Dajin that it will be like this, and now the Southern Dynasty and the opposition are all murderous, and they all advocate using troops against my Dajin to repay the national shame, and Zhao Er has always been belligerent, and he can use the matter of welcoming back the abolished emperor to provoke a war!" Wanyan Xiyin said.

"Then I'll kill the Abolished Emperor and see what other reasons he has!" Zong Han said with a standing eye.

"Hmph, then my Dajin will never have peace!" Wanyan Xiyin snorted coldly and said, "Zhao Er wishes that we killed the abolished emperor, that is, to remove the troubles for him, and also gave him a sufficient reason to send troops, and the eldest prince and others are afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed!" ”

"If he dares to harm the eldest prince, he will destroy his country!" After hearing this, Zong Han also knew that he had just lost his words, Zong Xuan was the eldest son of the emperor, and the Great Song Dynasty would kill him even if he wanted revenge, but the words were already difficult to receive, so he could only stand up.

"Why doesn't he dare, have you forgotten the order he issued, 'Anyone who enters Bianjing will be killed, and he will not be surrendered', the eldest prince can survive, it is all a fluke, and now the sons and daughters hear the explosion, and they are all terrified when they see their handsome flags, and they have no heart to fight!" Wanyan Xiyin said that less than one of the nearly 200,000 troops who could retreat in their entirety was able to retreat, and the survivors were all like Pu Jianu that day, saying that they were already afraid that they would be exalted, and that the two armies would collapse without a fight if they met again.

"We have never suffered this defeat for more than 20 years, losing several generals, and now it has heavy troops in Yunzhou and Hebei, Yanjing is attacked on both sides, and threatens Zhongjing, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the shortage of food and grass is not suitable for a big war!" Wanyan Zonggan also said that although the campaign that lasted for half a year was captured from the Southern Dynasties, the young and strong were recruited into the army, and the land was uncultivated, which still led to a large-scale famine in the Yanjing area.

"Our army has been fighting for many years, and it should have rested and recuperated as soon as possible, and it should recuperate due to the lack of national strength, and it should negotiate peace as soon as possible!" Xian also breathed a sigh of relief and said again.

"The people of the Southern Dynasties are weak, if we propose a peace proposal, it will not damage the prestige of the country, let's wait a little longer!" Wanyan Zongfu said.

"Xianye, if it is a peace agreement with the Southern Dynasty, will they agree in such a situation?" Wu Qimai listened for a long time and suddenly asked, but everyone was stunned, why did the emperor suddenly ask.

"Your Majesty, although Zhao Er of the Southern Dynasty is belligerent, but his most important affection, if His Majesty is willing to release the abolished emperor of the Southern Dynasty as a condition of exchange, he will agree to release the eldest prince!" Slanted also yawned and said.

"Well, it seems very possible according to what you said, if you want the Southern Dynasty to continue to pay tribute and cede the three towns, can he agree?" Wu Qimai leaned forward and asked with a happy look on his face, Now that the economy is in crisis, the worship of the Southern Dynasty is extremely important.

"It's... It's hard to say, after all, you will know the Tao when you talk about it! Diagonal also hesitated, leaned back and said.

"Xianye, you have an old relationship with the new monarch of the Southern Dynasty, can you go to Yanjing to preside over this matter!" Wu Qimai said again.

"Your Majesty, do you think I can do it?" Xian was also stunned for a moment, and asked with a wry smile on his face.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xianye now, Zong Han squinted at Wanyan Xiyin beside him, and saw him bowing his head thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something... (To be continued......)
