Emperor Zhao Ta set the current stage of the national policy of "enriching the country and strengthening the army, taking agriculture as the foundation, and encouraging industry and commerce", and humbly accepted the advice of the ministers to open scientific examinations, build water conservancy, access roads, and punish national thieves.

Crowned Li Gang as the Taishi, the Duke of the Jin Kingdom, and the Kaifu with Sanyi; Crowned Zong Ze as Taifu, Yan Guogong, Kaifu with Sanyi; Zhao Ren was promoted to general, crowned Xu Guogong, and went to the Zhu State; Zhao Yong, Zhao Lian, Zhao Yan, Cheng Xishou, and Yelu Yu were generals, named marquis, and crowned Zuojin Wuwei general; Yue Fei and Zhang Suo were promoted to lieutenant generals, marquis, and general of the right guard; There are more than 20 earls, more than 50 viscounts, hundreds of barons, and even more people who have been promoted to the rank of official, in order to reward them for their meritorious service in the Northern Expedition. There were also rewards from the central and local officials, but the number was much smaller than in the army...

Two days later, the ministers and governors of the prefectures resigned and returned to their residences, and the envoys of various countries also resigned and returned to their homes. Zhao Ta received him as usual, set up a feast, and gave back to the countries, but the envoys of various countries found that the rewards were much less than in previous years, especially the bronze vessels were rare to see, and the value was equivalent to the tribute. Although the envoys were disappointed, they did not dare to complain in the slightest, now the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as in the past, thinking that the Jurchens swept the entire Liaodong and annexed several countries in more than ten years, but they were beaten by the one in front of them who lost their armor and lost their troops, what a fierce man.

The envoys shuddered at the Song Emperor's warning, and he clearly informed the countries that if there were any more contacts with the Jurchens, the Great Song would regard them as enemy countries and not only cut off contacts. Prohibit trade, close the farm, and send troops to punish it! This can be said to be the most important ultimatum given to them. Don't think about playing duplicity anymore, or still follow the Jurchens. Or take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty!

On the evening of the same day, Zhao Ta secretly went to Genyue, this royal garden was seriously damaged in the Battle of Bianjing, Zhao Ta took the throne and ordered the Guards to enter and close this garden in the name of renovation, strictly guarded, and the gold medal issued by the Imperial City Division was required to enter and exit. At first, you could see craftsmen coming in and out, and hear the sound of axes and chisels, but after a few years, no one knows what has become inside. And the surrounding guards barracks have also been built, making it even more difficult to peek into the mysteries.

The carriage traveled all the way, although the palace gate was closed at night, the guards everywhere saw the gold medal and let them go, and no one stepped forward to ask, everyone knew that this sign was held by the emperor, and no one dared to stop it. However, when he arrived at the gate of Genyue Huayang, he was blocked, and after checking the gold medal, the officers of the Internal Guard Brigade on duty checked the inside and outside of the two cars that accompanied him, and only let the car in after asking the emperor for guilt. Being tossed so by his subordinates. Zhao Ta was not unhappy, because he set this rule, and he had to abide by it.

Entering it, the car drove north straight towards Wansong Mountain. Those who have traveled earlier will know that the scene here is no different from the past, and it is restored to the appearance before the Jin army broke through Bianjing. The car stopped in front of an elaborate Taoist temple along the road towards Lushang, where someone was already waiting to greet him. The leader is none other than Li Jun, director of the Intelligence Department.

"Everyone's here?" After everyone saluted, Zhao Ta asked.

"Boss. Everyone who can come is here! Li Jun replied respectfully.

"Let's get started!" Zhao Ta nodded, and walked into the view first. Inside is a unique cave, simple and solemn, the main hall on one side of the 'unsung hero' plaque enshrined several rows of spirit tablets, some of them write their names, some are blank, it turns out that this is a sacrificial hall, although many candles are lit in the hall to illuminate it, but it still makes people feel a little gloomy.

"Boss!" Li Jun took a bouquet of incense, lit it on the candle flame and handed it to the emperor, Zhao Ta took it, walked to the spiritual seat, bowed three times, inserted the incense in the incense burner, and everyone behind him also saluted in unison.

"The Northern Expedition Intelligence Department has made great contributions, but because it involves secrets, I can't be knighted and rewarded for meritorious people in front of the ministers and hundreds of officials, so that you can be famous all over the world, I am very ashamed!" Zhao Ta turned around and saluted everyone in the hall.

"Be willing to be nameless and be loyal to the country!" The people in the hall hurriedly replied solemnly.

"Very good, today you are willing to be nameless, but the Great Song Dynasty will not forget you, tonight I will personally award you with honors in recognition of meritorious service, I guarantee that your name will appear in history one day!" Zhao Ta said loudly, and then he put on the medals and handed over the certificates to everyone in order. But there are those who are unable to enjoy this privilege in person, so they can only make offerings to the spirit and pass it on to their families at a later date, and some of the meritorious ones do not appear on the list.

The Intelligence Department is always a person who walks in the dark, and their identities may not be known until decades later, and when the award is over, there is no celebration banquet outside, and there is no praise from thousands of people, they come and leave silently. But today, the emperor personally awarded them medals, and he was still excited, how many people in this world could enjoy such honors, and all the grievances and misunderstandings of the world would also dissipate...

Early in the morning, Zhao Ta, who stayed in Xizhuang, was woken up by the sound of roosters, he came out in his clothes, the layout here is like a village, the houses are all thatched cottages, wells, millstones, farmland, grass pavilions, scattered among them, you can faintly hear the sound of chickens and dogs. He strolls slowly along the road to climb the highest peak of the garden Wanshou Mountain, this almost exhausted the savings of the Song Dynasty of the famous garden in full view, the front mountain two peaks stand side by side, the mountain behind the Gangfu even belongs, the peaks rise, look at the thousands of stacks, do not know how many kilometers of it. Shannan Yan Pond, lotus lotus in the pond, waterfowl perch. But at this time, there is less noise and beauty of the day, and more delicate and lonely.

After Zhao Ta ascended the throne, he began to want to place Zhao Ji among his favorites, but when the Jin army besieged the city, Zhao Huan ordered people to release the waterfowl in the garden, the deer beasts were given to the soldiers to satisfy their hunger, the forest was cut down, the pavilions were demolished to give the people to live and heat and cook, and the flowers and stones that cost countless manpower and financial resources were smashed into cannonballs. After this catastrophe, more than half of the strange stone pavilions were damaged, and they simply became barren mountains and became sad places.

Such a place could not be abandoned, so Zhao Ta took out part of the private money and asked craftsmen to restore the pavilions and pavilions according to the appearance of the year, and replanted flowers and trees. But those strange stones are damaged and cannot be restored, rare birds and beasts are also difficult to find, and strange flowers and trees are not something that can be found at a time, and he has no intention of looking for them, so he only ordered people to carefully maintain the remnants and replant ordinary trees that are missing. In this way, there is less royal grandeur and more rural civilian taste.

At this time, Zhao Ta, who ascended the throne, became a canary who was locked up in the city, and at this time he somewhat understood why his father liked to expand the palace and frequently repair the forest garden. The imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty was originally small, and even the East Palace was built in the Great Interior, but Zhao Ta had many secrets, and the forbidden middle was a place where people paid attention to it, and it was inevitable that there would be a leak time after a long time, and at the same time, the guards of the guards also lacked camps, so he started the idea of Gen Yue, and turned this place into his own secret garden after some operation.

In the past, Xizhuang became Zhao Ta's other courtyard, the academy became his library, the medicine liao became a test field, and a command post was set up in the palace under Shoushan. The shooting garden was converted into a training base for the Special Operations Brigade and the Internal Guard Brigade. Wan Songling became the new residence of the Intelligence Division, the scientific research institute was located in the Banzai Mountain, and the leisure hall became the headquarters of the four major merchant groups. It can be said that Gen Yue gathered talents from all walks of life, and became the shadow court of the Great Song Dynasty, hiding the top secrets of the Great Song Dynasty, influencing the outside world, and Zhao Ta also spent a lot of boring time here...

"How is the Great Elder?" Zhao Ta wandered down the mountain for a while and walked into the leisure hall, and the little guy at the door wanted to report that he stopped him, and asked where the watchman was and looked for it.

"Your Majesty?!" On duty today is the big shopkeeper Zheng Fu, he was having breakfast, and when he heard the greeting, he looked up and saw that the emperor hurriedly got up to give a salute.

"It's all my own family, where are there so many false courtesies!" Zhao Ta stepped forward to hold him and said, but his eyes touched the dining table.

"Second master, haven't you eaten yet, why don't you eat together?" Zheng Fu grew up watching the emperor, how could he not see his thoughts, and asked with a smile.

"Well, I'm really hungry after a long turn, give me a bowl too, this porridge makes people want to eat it when they look at it!" Zhao Ta sat down unceremoniously and said, Zheng Fu hurriedly ordered someone to put the dishes and chopsticks on again, and prepared another one to be served.

"Second master, did you encounter any troubles?" Zheng Fu looked at the emperor and although he seemed to be eating very well, he swallowed his stomach without tasting it at all, obviously he was not willing to eat, he put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Well, you may already know that now because of the lack of copper, our military workshop is under-opened, so that the equipment of the new army cannot be implemented, so anxious!" Those who can enter here are all henchmen among their cronies, there is no need to hide it, and Zhao Ta did not hide it and said bluntly.

"Second master, we already know about it, and we are raising it in many ways, but we don't dare to start because of the huge need!" Zheng Fu nodded and said, this question also bothered them.

"I have an idea, wait for the others to arrive, let's discuss it together!" Zhao Ta picked up the bowl and put the last grain of rice into his mouth, wiped his mouth and said.

The immediate lack of copper must be resolved, otherwise it will affect the equipment and training of the army, and then threaten national security. At the same time, the law enforcement team led by Zhao Yi was stationed in the navy, and Chen Dong took the imperial history to inspect the southeast and Jiangnan regions where the maritime trade was developed, and the inspectors punished the ineffective officials, and used the government's strong means to block the outflow of copper from the channels and curb the situation of a large number of copper coin exports.

However, these methods treat the symptoms but not the root cause, as long as there are windfall profits, this phenomenon will re-emerge, and the fundamental solution to the problem is to control the source of copper and increase production, which is the depreciation of copper; The other is to mediate by economic means, so that the 'copper speculators' are unprofitable, or even bankrupt, and dare not take risks again, temporarily alleviate the crisis of copper supply shortage, and the best executor is their own caravan...
