The young man in front of him was tall and sturdy, and there was a kind of refinement in his gestures. And his expression is even more calm and calm, which makes people pay attention to him unconsciously. When the current appearance overlapped with the fourteen-year-old boy nine years ago, Jia Yidao saw that it was Zhao Jiaren's growth.

Looking back on the past, Jia Rudao can't remember exactly what he talked about with Zhao Jiaren back then. What he could still clearly remember was that Zhao Jiaren believed that the southern invasion of Mongolia was inevitable, and the Great Song Dynasty must prepare in time. When the war began, Zhao Jiaren made many miraculous feats on the water. At that time, Jia Rudao listened very carefully as Zhao Jiaren said, and he was also open and honest with Zhao Jiaren. Looking back on the past, Jia Yidao also felt quite emotional, he also had the eventful years of being able to tell the truth freely.

"Jiaren, the current national politics are in turmoil. And the crux of it is that the state has no money. Jia Rudao said generously.

Zhao Jiaren listened carefully, and at this time he wanted to know what Jia Yidao thought. Unconsciously, the roles of the two have subtly changed. In the past, Zhao Jiaren tried his best to persuade Jia Yidao, but now the object of persuasion has become Zhao Jiaren.

The party didn't particularly notice this, and Jia Rudao asked Zhao Jiaren one thing at the beginning, "Do you remember the fight with Xia Gui's department when you were in Haizhou?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Jiaren nodded, although he had to be reminded by Jia Yidao before he could remember this matter, at least not to the point of being impressed. At that time, Zhao Jiaren had no confidence and interest in the army of the Great Song Dynasty.

"The armies of Jiangbei have been divided into feudal towns. Whether it is Gundam or other armies, they are given a piece of land, and the local taxes are controlled by the military leaders, who recruit and raise soldiers. Some people say that I forced Liu Cheng to rebel, but before Liu Quan's rebellion, he was the prefect of Luzhou and the deputy envoy of Tongchuan Road to pacify, and Luzhou's taxes were not given to Sichuan Road or the imperial court, and Liu Quan was in charge. Where is this still the Great Song Dynasty, this is simply five generations! Jia Rudao was emotional when he mentioned the head of the army, and when he said that later, Jia Rudao's voice was already full of hatred.

From Gao Da to Liu Quan, Jia Yidao told the history of the military leaders in Lianghuai, Sichuan and other places, which opened the eyes of Zhao Jiaren, who had no understanding of the Great Song army. It turned out that the real situation of the Great Song army turned out to be that the Lin'an court was no longer able to effectively control the army.

"In Ezhou...... Hum! Jia Rudao couldn't go on after saying it at the beginning. The Battle of Ezhou is undoubtedly the highest peak of Jia Nidao so far, but Zhao Jiaren feels that many of the measures Jia Nidao has taken after that are because the Battle of Ezhou has left him with a lot of profound stimulation.

"In Ezhou, they really work hard. However, these people did not pay attention to the court at all. As the right prime minister, I supervised the war in Ezhou. They are in charge of the army, and they humiliate me every day. Jiaren, these people's soldiers are not forbidden troops, but recruited by them. eats the money and food of the Great Song Dynasty, but humiliates the right prime minister of the court every day. What's the use of them?! What use do you want them? When it comes to the humiliated experience of Ezhou, Jia Rudao is really heartbroken.

The status of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty was not high, and Zhao Jiaren was very dissatisfied with this. New China has a powerful army, and this army will appear where the people need it at every critical moment. Having spent time in the United States, Zhao Jiaren knows that the main responsibility of the US military, which is known as the most powerful in the world, in times of disaster is to suppress the possible 'chaotic people'. And the police and the National Guard play a similar role. Therefore, Zhao Jiaren very much hopes to reverse the situation of the Great Song army, if the Song army is like the People's Liberation Army, it must not be the Great Song Dynasty that faces the disaster of destroying the country.

However, this does not mean that Zhao Jiaren wants to see the Song military domain towned. Even though he was still very dissatisfied with Jia Nidao's killing of Xiang Shibi, Zhao Jiaren still reluctantly accepted Jia Nidao's point of view.

After venting his dissatisfaction with those military leaders, Jia Yidao seemed to be relieved, and he said quietly: "But when it is in danger, I will see the pillars of the country." In Ezhou, only Lu Wende dared to reprimand those who were rude to the right prime minister, and the Lu family was loyal and good for generations. Guarded by Lu Wende in Xiangyang Fancheng, it should be able to ensure the safety of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

I see! Zhao Jiaren nodded secretly. In history, Jia Yidao was extremely important to Lu Wende, and Lu Wende performed very well in the Battle of Xiangyang. Although he was not killed in battle, he also died of illness in Xiangyang, which can be regarded as a horse leather shroud.

Roughly sorting out the context of these contents, Zhao Jiaren figured out Jia Yidao's future plans. Indeed, with Jia Nidao's position and ability, he probably has only this arrangement.

And after Jia Rudao finished explaining the reason, he naturally wanted to propose a solution, "The imperial court is short of money and food at this time. The issuance of Jiaozi requires a reserve of money. After all these years of foreign wars, they were exploited by those military leaders internally, and now where are the copper coins available. Jiaren, as a clan, is such a figure, it is difficult to stand by in the face of national disasters? ”

Zhao Jiaren didn't want to turn a blind eye to the national disaster, in the previous life, he was killed by the rebellious Pu Shougeng just because he was unable to solve the national crisis. Now that Pu Shougeng is the head, Mongolia is still there. Zhao Jiaren pondered for a moment and said bluntly: "I want to be the governor of Fuzhou." ”

This is equivalent to agreeing to Jia Rudao's request for the official sale of cotton cloth, and Jia Rudao immediately showed joy. He knew that Zhao Jiaren was engaged in shipping, and shipping could indeed have huge profits, but he had to fight with his life. Jia Nidao originally didn't want to share Zhao Jiaren's property, not to mention that even if Zhao Jiaren was taken away, it didn't mean that Jia Nidao could get money from Quanzhou City. To put it bluntly, the biggest role of the Bo Division in Quanzhou City is to support the Zhao clan, and it is not his turn to give orders in Quanzhou.

However, Jia Rudao is such a shrewd person, and he didn't stupidly agree immediately. Zhao Jiaren probably wouldn't simply use a Fuzhou governor to exchange hundreds of thousands of yuan of benefits every year. Sure enough, I heard Zhao Jiaren continue: "Jia Gong, do you think that poor people and even middle-class people can afford silk? ”

"I can't afford it." Jia Rudao replied decisively.

"If the cotton cloth is an official business, I'm afraid the price will be the same as silk, right?" Zhao Jiaren then asked.

Jia Rudao nodded slightly, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty would not fail to understand the market price. Zhao Jiaren's reminder seemed to Jia Yidao to be quite pediatric. He replied cheerfully: "Since it is a government business, it is natural to sell it to make money." If you don't even know this, then it would be good for the government to put the silk official camp. Jiaren don't worry, I don't want to make too much money every year, just one million copper coins. ”

The so-called family wealth is thousands, and Jia Rudao wants to earn the money of a hundred billionaires every year. It's also pitiful to say, this money is only enough to support 40,000 forbidden troops. If it is to raise Lu Wende's troops, it is sixty or seventy thousand people. And Zhao Jiaren is only making money by sea now, and now he has to have more than one million a year. As for the output on the island, it is even more.

Of course, Zhao Jiaren would not be stupid enough to say this, he gave himself another request, "Then let me rent the land in Jiading Mansion to grow cotton, and sell the woven cloth to the government." Every year, including the money paid by the general system for renting land, as well as the difference in the price of selling cloth and bedding, so that the imperial court can earn millions of yuan. ”

This 'stop' fully expresses Zhao Jiaren's attitude.
