"What's next?"

"Do as was the practice of the previous imperial court."

"From agriculture to industry, I really don't have the genius of an official."

"The official family relies on everyone's strength, and now we also rely on everyone's strength. Don't be afraid, the official family only appoints the prime minister and gives part of the work to the two prime ministers. I didn't hear from the official that there would be no morning meetings in the future. ”

“…… What if I do something wrong? ”

"Are you here to do something, or are you here to do the right thing?"

Listening to the forty-year-old right prime minister and the thirty-year-old prince talking about this, the sixty-year-old left prime minister Wen Tianxiang couldn't help laughing: "Haha! Hahahaha! Regardless of the two middle-aged men turning their heads to look at themselves, Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but smile for the time being.

Zhao Qian didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he had been educated like this since he was a child. Daddy's request is simple and very difficult. Anything is either done or not done, and done to the end. For Zhao Qian, witnessing the ultimate defeat was a very painful experience. It was only recently that he was finally able to follow the rules. Truly stepping into the realm that he once felt unattainable, Zhao Qian was happy, but it was more of a kind of self-blame. Compared with the current openness, the former self lived in the shackles of ignorance and self-righteousness. I was at that time...... It really didn't grow up.

Facing Wen Tianxiang, Zhao Qian asked, "What does Prime Minister Zuo think is wrong?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that. Okay tight! Wen Tianxiang also replied frankly: "The prince in the imperial court is really a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty and a blessing for the country." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two who were above him, Li Ping, the right prime minister, had heard such a truth, but he felt that he really couldn't integrate the truth with his state of mind at this time. It's just that seeing them so free and easy, Li Ping's heart was crossed, and he said loudly: "I'm not as good as the official family, but I'm doing wrong...... I don't do as well as the official family, and everyone won't really laugh at me when I think about it. ”

"Hmm." Wen Tianxiang nodded. People with bad intentions will certainly have all kinds of arguments, and if they take their words seriously, they don't have to live. Looking at the right prime minister sitting opposite him, and then at Zhao Qian, who was in the main position, Wen Tianxiang suddenly felt that this was a bit of the backbone of the imperial court. and then match the people of the other ministries, and the Great Song Dynasty will be formed.

Li Ping himself was just worried and uneasy, seeing that the prince and Prime Minister Zuo didn't mean to see his jokes, and his heart also settled down. Since he had a rank, he has participated in thousands of imperial morning meetings, and he is no stranger to what the country should do. It is already the fourth month of the Song calendar, and it will not be long before the summer harvest season begins.

Thinking of this, Li Ping said with the greatest calmness: "Prime Minister Wen, each ministry has its own arrangements, if I take too much care of the Ministry of Agriculture, I hope Prime Minister Wen will remind me more." ”

Wen Tianxiang was also worried about this in his heart. Hearing Li Ping say this, he responded: "We should work together to remind you that you don't need to talk about anything." ”

Zhao Qian didn't speak at this time, and the new right prime minister could understand that he was no longer the Minister of Agriculture, and he could be regarded as keeping pace with the times. As for what the right prime minister can do soon, Zhao Qian himself doesn't have any special expectations. If Zhao Jiaren is regarded as a passing grade, the difficulty of passing is too high.

Next, the three of them talked about the recent arrangements of the Great Song Dynasty, which was indeed a thousand things. After talking for a while, Li Ping, the right prime minister, said to Zhao Qian: "Prince, but I don't know who is in charge of the Ministry of Finance?" ”

"I don't know." Zhao Qian responded immediately. Since listening to his father's story, Zhao Qian didn't dare to talk nonsense about the Ministry of Finance. In the past, in the Great Song Dynasty, the local government submitted taxes to the imperial court, but now the local government requests the budgets of various departments from the imperial court. The Ministry of Finance looks like a god who turns stones into gold, and can come up with countless amounts of money. However, Zhao Qian only now understands that the money of the imperial court is indeed very tight. To put it to an extreme point, if the ships that transported gold, silver, and copper ore from the imperial court back from the Wa Kingdom could not be navigated for a year, the imperial court's money bags would be empty immediately.

Li Ping didn't ask either. Zhao Guanjia made it clear that the prime minister is now managing the operation of the country, and the imperial meeting will still be held, and various departments will not be fully responsible to the prime minister, and Zhao Guanjia is still the highest power owner of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the conversation here, Zhao Qian went to his father's side. After this discussion, he was also tired. When I arrived at the door of my father's house, I saw several carriages parked at the door, and at a glance I saw the carriages of the ministers. When they were dismounting, they saw the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Politics going out together, they didn't see Zhao Qian, and the two got into a carriage and set off. The other one followed behind the car.

Zhao Qian sighed in his heart, these two departments should be directly under the official family, and it can be seen that they also have a lot to say at this time. While thinking about it, he walked into the hall and saw Zhao Jiaren send Li Yun, chief of the general staff, and Ding Fei, minister of justice, out. The two simply waved to Zhao Qian and followed Zhao Jiaren out.

After a while, Zhao Jiaren returned home. Zhao Qian greeted him, "Official, will you be busier or will you be idle when you rebuild the prime minister system this time?" ”

"That's up to those guys." Zhao Jiaren said with a smile: "But I have something, there may be a war on the side of the Japanese country, you can discuss it with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance." ”

"Opportunity to make money?" Zhao Qian's eyes lit up.

"I don't know. It's just that the Kamakura shogunate is increasingly oppressive of local guards, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Imperial Domain are ready to move. You just talk to them and learn along. ”

"Wouldn't it be faster to learn from the officials?"

"Follow me in these things, you can only learn some of the methods of the current situation. In the future, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely manage the entire earth, and you still have to have your own ideas. Global governance starts with you. ”

After receiving the order, Zhao Qian reported on the recent demobilization. A small number of officers and non-commissioned officers who are willing to make a living as professional soldiers have made a plan for evaluation after investigation. Although somewhat ruthless, those with a primary school education or less do not continue to remain in the army. Those who graduated from junior high school are selected after assessment, and the rest of those with high academic qualifications go to military schools for further study. A large number of retired servicemen were arranged to stay north of the Huai River as much as possible. It is expected that a major readjustment of the whole army will be completed this year.

"Grasp the line, non-commissioned officers and junior officers are selected from among the junior soldiers and those who enlist after high school, and we cannot cut off the road of rising from the grassroots level. After that, they will be trained, studied, acted, and summarized without discrimination. Don't tilt deliberately. In addition, whoever proposes to engage in a junior military academy will not work! Remember? ”

"Why?"

"Being a soldier is a choice, not a way out. The percentage of born big bad guys is very low, but people feel that something is born to be their own, and people immediately don't want to be motivated. No matter how bad it is, there is a way out, so why bother? ”

"Understood!" Zhao Qian replied decisively. He himself understood his strengths, which were that he never thought of anything as his own. Even this throne is the same. In Zhao Qian's view, he can only have the right to inherit the throne by working hard to become a person like his father. This idea may not be correct now, but Zhao Qian is completely correct in thinking that there is no way out.

"Go ahead." Zhao Jiaren sent his son away.

Zhao Qian then ran to see his sister. While the brother and sister were talking, Zhao Ruoshui handed over an envelope. Zhao Qian took it and opened it, and inside was a stack of treasury bills drawn by ticket. Each denomination is 100,000 kan.

"I can't take this." Zhao Qian returned the envelope to his sister.

"Cut! Saying that he couldn't accept it was not a pause. Zhao Ruoshui said with a smile.

Zhao Qian felt a little ashamed when he landed, he did hesitate.

"Big brother, this is a congratulatory gift for you. I wanted to give it to you for a long time, but because I was running a business here, I felt sorry for this money. It's just right for you now, and it's my heart. ”

It's also a million anyway, and Zhao Qian really can't refuse ruthlessly. But he didn't refuse and felt that it was inappropriate, which made him feel numb.

"Don't worry, I won't ask you for privileges. I know you won't give either. ”

"This is natural!" Zhao Qian replied. His sister is sometimes very rich, but she is not a person who really loves money. At least Zhao Ruoshui has not been short of money since he was a child. And my sister's congratulatory gift is not accepted, which doesn't seem right. That's too raw.

Looking at the eldest brother's expression, Zhao Ruoshui said with a smile: "If you remember to help me, just reach out and help." Can't help, and tell me the truth. This amount of money is not much more for me, and less is not a lot. You don't have to worry about me being distressed. ”

Just thinking about it, Zhao Qian suddenly saw the old lady appear at the door. Now I was embarrassed. But I heard the old lady say: "To take it or not to take it, say a happy word!" ”

"Take it!" Zhao Qian responded.

"Just remember your sister's affection. Protect her, and don't help her. Qin Yuzhen said, turned around and left.

After talking for a while, Zhao Qian left first. When he got home, he handed the envelope to his wife, who didn't speak when she saw such a sum of money, but just stared at Zhao Qian with beautiful eyes. After Zhao Qian finished speaking, she responded: "The sage is right, just remember to protect your sister." ”

"How to protect it?" Zhao Qian felt that he didn't understand a woman's mind.

"You will protect her as the official family protects her."

"Isn't that to push her to improve?"

"If you can do your best, if you can't do this, at least you can't watch her make mistakes." Zhao Qian's wife said calmly.

Zhao Qian was silent. This is a great responsibility, Zhao Qian felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to do the ability of his father to control the situation as if nothing happened. But after listening to his wife's words, Zhao Qian finally understood why the old lady did not object to this matter.

Two days later, Zhao Qian held a meeting to straighten out the errand of the veterans' counseling association, and then returned to Kaifeng to meet with Foreign Minister Lu Baifeng and Minister of Finance Luo Yiren. These two departments have the meaning of copper coins and tails, so the offices are next to each other.

The two of them had already received orders, so they also told Zhao Qian about the recent changes in the Wa Kingdom.

"The gold, silver and bronze of the Wa Kingdom are indispensable to my Great Song Dynasty." Lu Baifeng got straight to the point, "So if the Japanese Kingdom is a civil war, it is best to fight it slowly, and the guards of various places will vigorously mine gold and silver, and buy the materials they need from my Great Song Dynasty." Whether it's guns, weapons, or daily necessities, can't anyone come in and do anything wrong? ”

"What nonsense?" Zhao Qian didn't understand.

Luo Yiren smiled, "Hehe, prince, if a profiteer privately sells a large amount of iron to the court of the Japanese Kingdom, and the Imperial Court of the Japanese Kingdom creates a large number of weapons, wouldn't it immediately change the situation?" Naturally, there has to be a court to control these. Trade with the Japanese state must be run by the government. Of course, it can't be ostensibly official. ”

It took Zhao Qian half a minute to figure out what this meant by 'official camp and can't be official camp'. Now he admired it a little in his heart, and felt that it was very inauthentic. The combination of intrigue and conspiracy makes it difficult to position oneself.

"Prince, our position is for the benefit of the Great Song Dynasty. The civil war of the Japanese could not harm the interests of the Great Song Dynasty, so we must not let the Japanese end up becoming a country that did not rely on the trade of the Great Song Dynasty. In recent years, the Kamakura shogunate of the Wa Kingdom has begun to tighten trade, and it is forbidden to do business with our Great Song Dynasty. This is unacceptable. However, after discussing it, we also felt that if the Wa Kingdom raised another force and overthrew the Kamakura Shogunate, I was afraid that they would do it more thoroughly than the Kamakura Shogunate. Look at our Da Song, you can understand. ”

“…… Didn't the Great Song Dynasty go all out to do business with other countries? Zhao Qian was unable to make an analogy for a while.

"The great cannibal who once dominated the maritime trade is near?" Luo Yiren said with a smile.

These words made Zhao Qian come to his senses.

"If you can do your best, if you can't do this, at least you can't watch her make mistakes." Zhao Qian's wife said calmly.

Zhao Qian was silent. This is a great responsibility, Zhao Qian felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to do the ability of his father to control the situation as if nothing happened.
