Li Jilong died, and Song Jiu may also pay tribute soon. It should be said that Zhao Heng's suspicion is very light, but if Song Jiu doesn't go down for a long time, he will let others find trouble. After all, the credit is too great, he is there, and the others are eclipsed together.

And Song Jiu is no longer aggressive.

Once the foundation of the Northeast is laid, there is no doubt that it will retreat.

These two pillars leave the north, and the north will be left without a heavy minister. Lu Yijian and they are not good, they have little qualifications and low prestige, and they can't deter the north.

However, the north is so complicated, and the area is so vast, not to mention anything else, it is the three provinces of Liaodong, although the northern chamber is not directly governed, but it extends to the east to the coast, and the northeast reaches the mouth of the mixed river, and the actual area has far exceeded the three eastern provinces of later generations. Moreover, there is also the Yanyun area, the Zhongjing Shangjing area, and this area alone is more than half of the original Song Dynasty's territory.

Not to mention the larger confined areas.

Even some of the Sakhalin tribes sent envoys to express their sincerity, which, of course, was a joke.

Therefore, it is necessary to have important ministers in charge.

Zhang Qixian has no choice, such a candidate must have qualifications and prestige, and second, he must have both civil and martial arts, who else can there be besides himself?

So Zhang Qixian went to Yunzhong first and took care of Yunzhong Road.

Coupled with the death of Bi Shi'an, there is only one real boss in the court, and that is Kou Zhun.

There is no doubt that he became the first prime minister.

If it weren't for Kou Zhun's character flaws, his career would be extremely smooth.

If Wang Qin is not happy, he is not happy with Song Jiu, it is Song Jiu who did not tell the truth, which made him embarrassed. There are more reasons for Kou Zhun to be unhappy, and Kou Zhun looks down on southerners. Despise him as a person, despise his character. Look down on him for being well-behaved...... Dozens of reasons can be listed.

The conflict between Song Jiu and Wang Qinruo is not big, and it is not at the same level, besides, Song Jiu is about to retreat, where does Wang Qinruo dare to offend in the depths?

Song Jiu and Kou Zhun have little conflict, these two people will definitely have all kinds of conflicts because of their personalities, but Song Jiu did not suggest not to use Kou Zhun because of this, on the contrary, he has been promoting from the beginning, and he has saved Kou Zhun many times in secret. Kou Zhun is not a fool either. Although he had many disagreements with Song Jiu, the conflict was always restrained. Therefore, if the two have discord, they are all on the table. It can't be regarded as a dispute between gentlemen, but it cannot be regarded as a dispute between villains.

However, Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo both hated each other's contradictions and couldn't put each other to death.

However, at the moment, Wang Qinruo is not Kou Zhun's opponent.

And before Zhao Heng left from the north, Song Jiu once again said Kou Zhun's purpose.

Back then, Kou Zhun also had the credit of establishing the crown prince.

Zhao Heng is a person who remembers his gratitude.

Liu E also remembered the events of that year, Song Jiu said that he was waiting for someone, and this person was Kou Zhun.

Therefore, Kou Zhun was the prime minister for several years.

However, at this time, Kou Zhun's personality defects flared up again.

When Guo died, Zhao Heng had the intention of making Liu E the queen and Kou Zhun the prime minister. So they called him into the palace to take counsel.

This stabbed the hornet's nest.

Kou Zhun even looked down on the southerners, let alone Liu E. Not only did he oppose it on the spot, but after leaving the palace, he led the ministers to make a fuss and said a lot of ugly things about Liu E.

This one comes. Liu E definitely can't be a queen now.

And Kou Zhun hyped it up, and the words were ugly, Liu E finally reversed her impression of Kou Zhun. From liking to disgusting.

There is another thing in front of him, when Zhao Kuangyi was in the dynasty, Kou Zhun once presided over a imperial examination. Provincial test, palace test. The palace examination is the final ranking. Zhao Kuangyi set Chen Yaosuo, the son of Chengdu, as the champion. As a result, when Kou Zhun wrote the list, he was not happy when he saw that Chen Yaosuo was from Sichuan, so he replaced the champion with Cai Qi, a glue lifter, without Zhao Kuangyi's consent, and replaced Chen Yaosuo with Tanhua.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuangyi noticed it in time and corrected it back, Zhao Kuangyi laughed at the time, but he was a little unhappy, thinking that Kou Zhun was stubborn and self-serving, and he dared to take the monarch lightly.

Zhao Heng had also heard about this matter, so his opinion of Kou Zhun had always been overshadowed.

There are also Wang Qinruo and other ministers who have been offended by Kou Zhun, so they pushed together, Kou Zhun is not the Great Wall after all, everyone pushed it together and went down.

……

The rule of Xianping, coupled with the number of households in the Liao State and some hidden households collected from the certificate of origin, finally entered the 10 million household mark in the Song Dynasty.

This number of households exceeds the number of households during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. However, there were more hidden households in the Tang Dynasty, so the actual population did not reach the number of people in the Tianbao period, and the population density was not as high as that of the peak of Tianbao.

But it's almost exceeded.

However, unlike the Tang Dynasty, the earliest development was Jinghu, which was inspected by Song Jiu and led by Pan Mei, but the poor people and finances were detained, and the scale was not very large. Therefore, Song Jiu's time in Liangguang was the real big development.

This development has continued until now, and even the eastern region is approaching the level of the middle of the Qing Dynasty. At least for a few decades, there will be no population pressure, and some people from Fujian Road and Jiangnan West Road will also flock to Guangnan one after another.

The greatest population pressure is Fujian Road, where there are many people, many mountains and few fields, and monasteries account for a large proportion of fertile land, but with the development of commerce, especially the development of maritime commerce, there are more people doing business, and some people leave their homes and go to Nanyang, which somewhat relieves part of the pressure.

Jiangdong and Zhejiang, which had a high population density and were the first treasury of the Song Dynasty, were also relieved of the pressure of population growth because of the early development of enclosed fields and polders.

Bashu is chaotic and chaotic, almost depressed, where is there population pressure. However, there is some population pressure in the Guanzhong area, but it is so far away from Liaodong......

The population density in the southeast and southeast of Hebei is also relatively high, but because of the demise of the Liao State, all the areas on the south side of the Juma River have been moved out and can be officially cultivated, and there are more than 100,000 square kilometers of Yanyun Yunzhong area, because the Song Dynasty captured and migrated people, the southern region is also empty, who wants to go to Liaodong.

As a result, the country will not have a large population pressure in this decade, or even 20 years.

It's a good thing, but Song Jiu feels a little bitter in the Northeast.

To promote rice planting, Song Jiu used many small skills, resulting in the entire Youzhou Road rice planting area reaching more than 30,000 hectares in Jingde's four years. The vast majority of people still use backward ways to plant, and this is not something that can be solved overnight.

However, the rice harvest alone may be close to 7 million stones. In addition, there are various crops of beans, corn, and wheat. How many people can there be on Youzhou Road? Where can I finish eating? So at one point, the price of rice fell to the point where it was only 20 yuan per bucket. As for the millet, go feed the pigs.

What's worse is that the scale of rice planting may be further expanded next year.

However, it was such a harvest, and Song Jiu used his tricks to tempt the poor people in the north to take the initiative to come to the northeast, but not many people came.

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Song Jiu smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, if you want the people to break into the eastern part of the country on a large scale, I am afraid that it will take at least thirty years before it happens. Some people came, but when added together, there were less than 2,000 households, what can 2,000 Han people do on the vast Youzhou Road?

Well, everyone became rich together, so rich that they didn't want to leave their hometown, so Song Jiu had to give up his original idea.

But it also forced him to govern the Northeast more carefully.

However, what is more of a headache is the change of the bigwigs of Kaifeng and Kaifeng. Kou Zhun is here, with all kinds of flaws, but his thinking is still based on progress.

Counting on Wang Qinruo? If you don't stumble, thank goodness.

Or Wang Dan, Wang Dan should have a place in the history of the Song Dynasty, but his biggest flaw is his lack of responsibility.

Song Jiu had no choice but to act in advance.

In fact, Song Jiu's strategy is not complicated.

For what the imperial court does not want to fight Goryeo, first, Goryeo is a big sycophant, so that the bigwigs in the DPRK and China feel happy, first, the country's economy has not yet recovered, it is best to rest and recuperate in the next two or three years, first, the northeast is too far away, and the Song Dynasty is not very interested in these remote and vast mountains, and if it is lost, it will be lost, and the Song Dynasty generally lacks the enterprising spirit of expanding its territory.

Therefore, as long as Goryeo did not go too far, the imperial court would not agree to Song Jiu's use of troops.

And it is not as easy to use troops in Goryeo as you think, if you use less troops, you may lose, you may work in vain, but it will make Goryeo, and even the surrounding ethnic groups look down on it, bringing bad consequences, using more troops, the country does not have that economy, and at the same time it is not worth it.

So Song Jiu used Zheng Zhuang's strategy to raise Gongshu Duan.

Ignoring the expansion of Goryeo, when the expansion reaches the city of Lüyang, it will shake the rule of the Song Dynasty in the entire Lüyang Province, and even shake the rule of the eastern part of Dongyang Province, can the imperial court still ignore it?

But this expansion takes time, but for Song Jiu, what is lacking is time, it takes time to slowly heal part of the hatred of the entire Youzhou Road ethnic groups towards the Song Dynasty, it takes time to integrate and naturalize the people of all ethnic groups, it takes time for Youzhou to recover and develop, and the country also needs time to recover from the economic trauma caused by the Pingliao War......

When Goryeo expanded to the point that the Song Dynasty could no longer bear it, and the Song Dynasty's economy recovered, then all sides had the conditions to launch a war.

According to Song Jiu's estimate, it will have to be next year.

After the fight, the territory problem was solved, and Song Jiu retreated.

Therefore, he now superficially ignores Goryeo's small actions, so that many low-level officials and soldiers are very dissatisfied.

But on the other hand, Song Jiu continued to carefully govern the northeast and vigorously developed Shenzhou, which is now called Shenyang.

The thousands of Han people who migrated over were settled in Shenzhou.

The intention is simple, and Youzhou Road will inevitably be redivided in the future, the area is too large, and it is obviously not suitable as a road. Then everything will inevitably be divided into two in the future, with Youzhou as the head, controlling the Liao State Zhongjing Shangjing, as for the east of Jinshan, it will be re-divided into a road, taking its transportation hub Shenzhou as the center. It may continue to be subdivided into three or four roads in the future, but that will be far away. But before Song Jiu left, he had to support the new administrative district capital and create a foundation for everything to be two, so that it could be easily governed.

However, the change in the court had to allow Song Jiu to advance the attack by a year, but in this way, he could not expect much support from the imperial court, and only the garrison on Youzhou Road could be used.

And in autumn, the cold winter is coming......

It was in this seemingly unfavorable situation that the Battle of Kaijing suddenly began. In fact, there are many disadvantages, but if you put them aside, you can see many advantages. (To be continued......)
