On March 15, Zhao Jiaren attended a meeting for the second attack on Horin. The faces of everyone attending the meeting looked very serious, and so did Zhao Jiaren. As soon as the meeting began, Zhao Jiaren spoke.

"Comrades. I wasn't happy with the last meeting. It's not because I'm not satisfied with everyone's specific views on victory and defeat, victory or defeat is a common thing, and I think that victory and defeat itself does not depend only on us, and is probably the least necessary part to consider. What displeased me was that the comrades discussed too little of what we ourselves had at our disposal. What our armies have mastered, they have. The speed of our own marches, the level of our defense, the number of enemies, their tactics. It's only worth talking about putting these things on a preset battlefield. The light of the mind to dream a victory is not a materialistic attitude......"

The senior soldiers of the Song Army who attended the meeting listened quietly, and some of them showed expressions of concern for me, while others showed some expressions of shame. Of course, some people are at a loss.

After Zhao Jiaren finished speaking, he got up and left. It's not that he left the table in anger, but that if he continued to talk, it became a one-sided reprimand. After all, these people are high-ranking soldiers, even if they are more idealistic, but they don't even know the most basic tactics. The reason why they say some bastard things is just that they are worried that Zhao Jiaren himself only pursues the outcome of the war. The reason why Zhao Jiaren said this is that these people want to understand what Zhao Jiaren cares about.

After the end of the military meeting, the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Commerce were already waiting for Zhao Jiaren. The two once again came up with a plan, which was to imitate the method of srivijaya settlement a few years ago and carry out attacks on the southern states of Tianzhu.

"Official, we can make full use of the Sinhalese and hire the Sinhalese as soldiers." Lu Baifeng suggested.

"Tsk!" Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but speak. Britain in another time and space was rampant in Tianzhu, relying on the use of native soldiers in the Tianzhu region to fight. The problem of the Tamils in the north of Sinhala is that the British used the native army composed of the Tamils in the south of Tianzhu to suppress the Sinhalese. After the British ran away, the Tamils, who had been high above, immediately began to be counter-attacked. The same is true for the Rohingya, including eastern Myanmar. I didn't expect that the cognition in this world is the same, and the Ministry of Rites and Commerce of the Great Song Dynasty can come up with such a method on their own.

"Which of you came up with this method first?" Zhao Jiaren wanted to see who was so capable.

"It was thought up by Qi Daqian, director of the Tianzhu Department of the Ministry of Rites." The Ministry of Rites replied.

"Qi Daqian......" Zhao Jiaren felt that this name was a little familiar.

"It's Qi Ye's son." said the Minister of Commerce.

"Oh. It's him. Zhao Jiaren remembered why he had an impression of this name, after Qi Ye gave birth to this son, he asked Zhao Jiaren to help him come up with a name, and Zhao Jiaren took it seriously. Qi Daqian served as the ambassador of the Great Song Dynasty to Eastern Rome for a long time. It is indeed a great achievement.

"Official. Troops were used against the southern states of Tianzhu, and even the official army was not used. These soldiers, together with some local Sinhalese militias, can win. ”

"Hmph." Zhao Jiaren sneered a few times. This Minister of Commerce is really funny, so blatantly wants to involve the private soldiers of the Gate Valve family in the war. Isn't he afraid that he will be told that he wants to rebel?

Of course, Zhao Jiaren is not worried about a rebellion over there. At present, Da Song is the core market in the world, and only Da Song can digest so many commodities and pay for the goods. But this doesn't mean that Zhao Jiaren is willing to make these guys so good.

was thinking about it, Zhao Jiaren suddenly understood the taste. He asked, "Tell me the truth, have you already started to do it over there?" ”

The faces of the Ministry of Rites and Commerce both changed, but after a while, they regained their calm. The Minister of Commerce plucked up the courage to give a positive answer: "Official, as far as the minister knows, the local militia has been established, and the soldiers have also been prepared. They still want to ask the court to make an order. But what will happen after that, the minister doesn't know. ”

Zhao Jiaren wanted to be angry, but he just sneered: "Haha." Okay, very. These people are really good! ”

After speaking, Zhao Jiaren lit a cigarette and stood up, stood up at the window and began to smoke. Asking himself, Zhao Jiaren found that he was not actually angry. Judging from historical experience, the British regular army's entry into Tianzhu was already a matter after the colonial group took half of Tianzhu. Moreover, a large part of the British regular army fought against the armies of other colonial powers. Seeing history repeating itself, Zhao Jiaren did not feel particularly stimulated.

All kinds of entanglements of interests flew in Zhao Jiaren's mind, and when this cigarette was finished, Zhao Jiaren found that Da Song had not suffered any loss of interests. Thinking of this, Zhao Jiaren snuffed out the cigarette butt and sat back in his position. Looking at the nervous expressions of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Commerce, Zhao Jiaren lit another cigarette. They were nervous for a moment before asking, "Do they know that they might be considered a traitor if they do so?" ”

"They know." The Minister of Commerce replied nervously.

"It's hard to just know?"

"They sent people to say that these people were lonely overseas, and they didn't know how to clear themselves even if they wanted to clear themselves. Whether it's Sinhala or Tianzhu, these lands are not theirs. They were allowed by the government to go there to explore, so they couldn't even offer land. But seeing that I can do more things for Da Song, I can't do it. They are also anxious. ”

Probably seeing that his own interests cannot be satisfied, he is anxious. Zhao Jiaren sneered coldly in his heart. Then he asked Lu Baifeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites: "Does the Ministry of Rites have any ideas on how to govern the states of Tianzhu?" ”

"Not yet. Qi Daqian used to be an ambassador to Eastern Rome and was not familiar with Tianzhu. Lu Baifeng hurriedly replied.

"Then I'll tell you a little bit about it. Although Tianzhu does not have a unified country, the states are relatively stable. The so-called states are the indigenous leaders. They are fighting each other, but there is a meaning that you will sing and I will appear. ”

The Ministry of Rites and Commerce hurriedly took out a small notebook and tried their best to record. Seeing them like this, Zhao Jiaren felt quite helpless. This is not Zhao Jiaren's original cognition, but the experience and experience of the British colonization of Tianzhu.

"In such a situation, there is a sense of insecurity in those states. If we send troops to Tianzhu, we will not use us as a reason to crusade against you, but we will use the banner of killing traitors and restoring the system. ”

Hearing this, the Minister of Commerce couldn't help but ask: "Official, what is the old system over there?" ”

Such a childish question made Zhao Jiaren sigh, and he said, "I'll tell you." Those who were once bold should be retro, those who are being bold should maintain the status quo, and those who have not been bold should be innovative. The so-called retro is to go back to a few years ago that they remember, not Yu Xia Shang Zhou. It's the same everywhere. The so-called old system is really just a set of local terms. Those people in the upper echelons of Tianzhu don't care at all. All they care about is whether what they have now will last forever. For Tianzhu, we only use escrow, not merger. When the time comes, it can be like this, and the inheritance of the Tianzhu states will be recommended by the states themselves and approved by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty protected Tianzhu from foreign invasion. Half of the land of the Tianzhu states was managed by the Great Song officials, and the output of these lands was used as an offering to the Great Song officials. The Great Song Dynasty does not charge additional fees for the protection of Tianzhu. However, the states of Tianzhu were obliged to provide troops for the military operations of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Lu Baifeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was still taking quick notes at first, but then began to try to digest the words he heard. After Zhao Jiaren finished talking about the outline of disposing of Tianzhu, Lu Baifeng stood up and bowed to Zhao Jiaren, and said: "After listening to the words of the official, I only feel that my heart is extremely open. I really can't wait to worship the official family as a teacher. ”

"Sit, sit." Zhao Jiaren asked the Ministry of Rites to sit down before continuing: "This is just an idea. But we can't go directly to this idea, but we must take advantage of the situation when implementing it. After all, we are crusading against Tianzhu, and they hate us in their hearts. How to use the contradictions between them to make some Tianzhu states abandon the darkness and turn to the light, this is the key. In addition, do not turn the land of Tianzhu into the land of the Great Song Dynasty. Remember! Remember! ”

"But how can you tell the difference?" The Minister of Commerce asked puzzled.

"Just look at the looks, and you'll know it. As I said earlier, half of the land of Tianzhu belongs to us, and the output belongs to us. But it's not that half of the land belongs to us. These lands are still owned by Tianzhu. This must be remembered. ”

After talking about Tianzhu for a while, Zhao Jiaren was ready to end the meeting. Just when Zhao Jiaren was thinking about how to set up a department for Tianzhu, he listened to Lu Baifeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, ask: "The official family, the minister does not know whether the official family intends to call the external department the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of Governors. The minister thinks that the Ministry of Domain is good. ”

"What do you think we would think if we knew that the department used by other countries to deal with us was called the Ministry of Domains?"

"It must be a fury." Lu Baifeng replied decisively.

"So the foreign ministry is, of course, the foreign department." Zhao Jiaren replied. Just when Lu Baifeng was about to finish, he heard Zhao Jiaren continue: "However, the Ministry of Domain Management still has to be built. You can have one team and two brands. ”

After solving the diplomatic affairs, Zhao Jiaren continued to deal with Jiangning's affairs after he returned. Recently, there have been rumors in Jiangning that the price of various grains is going to rise, and it is useless for the government to say anything. The inhabitants of the city kept buying food. On the whole, persuasion education is not effective.

After reading the report, Zhao Jiaren asked the secretary to record, "At this stage, there has been a large increase in urban residents, and what they are experiencing in the countryside is the cyclical fluctuation of food prices. In such a situation, the only way for us to wait is to resist and establish a reputation that the grain prices of state-run grain stores do not fluctuate. The people's confidence is by no means built overnight, and comrades can only rely on persistence in the face of such things. ”
