"Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty's flagrant refusal of the reasonable demands of our Persian Empire just gave our Persian Empire a pretext to launch an eastward crusade. ”

The Persian envoy bowed to the Persian queen and looked extremely pious, "The minister thinks that it is just this opportunity to launch a million troops of our Persian Empire, level the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and seize the land of Middle-earth, which is full of gold!"

"Yes, Her Majesty,"

In the main hall of this palace, another figure stood up, this person was the lord of Tubo who had fled to Persia!

At this moment, his expression was very humble, and he said: "The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty acted perversely, brutally and unkindly, and attacked my Tubo country for no reason, and my Tubo subjects all gritted their teeth with hatred for the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"As long as the army of the king of the Persian Empire launches an eastward crusade, my Tibetan subjects will surely rise up in response to the Persian army!"

His words were fanatical and his expression was agitated.

Because now, it is a great opportunity for the restoration of the Tibetan country, and if you miss this village, there will be no such store.

He, the lord of the Tibetan country, is now a lonely man, and if he does not rely on external forces, the restoration of the country is simply a utopian dream, and it is impossible to succeed.

Hearing the words of the Persian envoy and the lord of Tubo, a trace of fierce luster gradually emerged in the beautiful big eyes of the Persian queen, "The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is unforgivable for his reckless use of force to destroy my friend Tubo." ”

"Inform the kings of Da Shi and Tianzhu and let them prepare to send troops to the east!"

"Within a month, gather 2.5 million troops and set foot on the entire East!"

"Minister... Yes!"

The Persian envoys and the Tibetan lords immediately surrendered their orders.

The faces of the two of them invariably showed a smile.

The young emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, this is the evil result of not following his advice and forking him out of the Jinluan Palace.

And the lord of Tubo sneered in his heart.

Zhao Lin, Zhao Lin.

That's an army of 2.5 million people......

I want to see, how are you still angry?

Wait for death!

......

The Imperial Palace of the Great Song Dynasty.

Daqing Palace.

Zhao Lin has already received a wire report from the East Factory.

I learned that Xiongba had successfully broken through the realm of the Six-Rank Grand Master.

and killed the hidden master from Kunlun Mountain, the old man of the sword.

"Xiongba, I really didn't disappoint. ”

The corners of Zhao Lin's mouth lifted a curvature.

If Xiongba is defeated, then he may face failure in the layout of the Central Plains martial arts.

Fortunately, Xiongba did not waste the Shengyuan Pill he gave.

Successfully reached the realm of the Sixth Rank Grand Master and killed a strong enemy.

"Let Xiongba not relax his vigilance, then on Kunlun Mountain, there must be other hidden masters. ”

Zhao Lin looked at Cao Zhengchun with a solemn expression.

This time there is an old man with Excalibur.

Next time, maybe there will be some kind of old man with a divine knife, an old man with a sharp spear......

And the strength is hard to guarantee that it will not be stronger.

Just because you can win this time doesn't mean you can win next.

"The old slave must bring the words to the male gang master in its entirety. ”

Cao Zhengchun nodded, and then retreated respectfully.

looked at the back of Cao Zhengchun who withdrew.

Zhao Lin fell into a deep groan.

Vigilance alone is not enough.

It is necessary to improve the strength of Xiongba and others in order to deal with sudden crises.

Shengyuan Dan.

Zhao Lin needed more Saint Yuan Dan.

And if you want to get more Saint Yuan Dan, you need more faith points.

There are only two ways to gain faith points.

The first is to expand the territory.

The second is to educate the people, strengthen the rule, and increase the prestige of him as an emperor.

Neither of these can be achieved overnight, it takes time.

Nowadays, the grassland land and Tibet have been included in the ruling order of the Great Song Dynasty and have become the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty.

To the east is the vast sea.

To the south are numerous island nations.

To the north are uninhabited ice fields.

If you want to continue conquering, you have to go further to the west.

In Zhao Lin's memory, the Eurasian continent is still quite large.

The position of the Great Song Dynasty was only in the easternmost part of the Eurasian continent.

Further west, there are many powerful civilizations and countries.

Its strength is no less than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Persian Empire, which had sent a mission before, was one of them.

Persia, Great Eclipse, Tianzhu ......

Zhao Lin counted the many countries that went west, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

These countries will eventually become the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!

Zhao Lin will make the civilization of the Great Song Dynasty the only civilization in the world!

......

Following.

On the Golden Luang Palace.

After Prime Minister Zhuge Liang led the recital.

Officials from the six ministries began to report on the affairs of the ministries.

In the end, the head of the household department came out of the ranks, bowed slightly to Zhao Lin, and said: "Your Majesty, you asked Wechen to think about opening the port and establishing a customs strategy last time, and Wechen already has a plan. ”

"Oh?"

"Aiqing said to listen to it. ”

When Zhao Lin heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, he couldn't imagine that this household department Shangshu would have a mature plan so soon.

It was a surprise to him.

"To open ports to the outside world, it is not advisable to open too many ports at one time. ”

Hubu Shangshu bowed to Zhao Lin again, "First, it requires too much manpower and material resources, and there is a lot of pressure on the Hubu Yamen." ”

Second, it disperses the flow of foreign merchants, which is not conducive to centralized tax collection. ”

"The minister thought that the first five coastal ports should be opened as pilots, and they should be given different positions to trade different types of goods. ”

Customs were then established in these five ports, and other ports were added as trade flourished. ”

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Hubu Shangshu looked at Zhao Lin on the throne of the dragon chair with some apprehension.

"Not bad. ”

Zhao Lin's eyes lit up suddenly.

Set up a pilot first, see its effectiveness, and then gradually roll it out.

In comparison, his previous idea of asking for the opening of all ports seemed a bit presumptuous, and he was so happy.

This Hubu Shangshu is really a bit capable.

Seeing Zhao Lin nodding, Hubu Shangshu also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that His Majesty is approving of his plan.

"Your Majesty, the opening of the port and the establishment of the customs are complicated, and Wei Chen suggested that a new agency be established to manage customs and trade and other affairs. ”

Tobe Shangshu said.

Zhao Lin nodded and said casually: "This new organization, let's call it the City Division!"

Ichiboshi!

The civil and military officials were all moved in their hearts.

A brand new institution is about to be born!

But the ministers have become accustomed to it.

It's not once or twice that His Majesty has come up with something new.

Last time it was the Academy of Sciences.

This time it's the city's division.

They were really a little curious, how many new things were in His Majesty's mind?

"Hubu Shangshu, you recommend reliable talents, take charge of the city's shipping department, implement my policy of opening up, and let the customs run as soon as possible!"

Zhao Lin was high on the throne of the dragon chair and said loudly.

"Obey the order!"

Tobe Shangshu retreated excitedly.

He seemed to be able to see that the rolling wealth would continue to flow into the treasury.

The city and customs will become a new source of wealth for the Great Song Dynasty!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is even a gold mine!
