After the overall goal and direction were determined, Zhao Chongyang said: "Since we have a general goal, after the conclusion of the scientific expedition, I will draw up a detailed plan, what major things we want to accomplish in three years, and what major things we want to accomplish in five years, I estimate that the Song-Jin alliance will be achieved in five years, and then the Liao State will be attacked by the Jin people and the Great Song Dynasty on both sides, and it will inevitably be defeated, and even be destroyed." The sixteen states of Yanyun will be occupied by the Jin people, the Great Song Dynasty will send people to ask for it, the Jin people will ask for the sky, the Song and Jin contradictions will intensify, Tong Guan may do stupid things again, and lead the Western army to attack the Jin people, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of Western troops. At the same time, under the pretext of giving the Jin people an excuse to go south.

At this time, it was the time of the fall of the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, we are faced with two choices, one is to pour all the strength of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce to form an iron army to give the Jin people a hard time, prevent the Jin people from going south, and block them in the sixteen states of Yanyun. The second is to hide the strength, and when the Jin people retreat, they will attack by surprise troops, snatch back the gold and silver treasures and people they have plundered, and then clean up the mess, reveal the identity of Taizu's descendants, and command the world. When the Central Plains was stabilized, he swore to the Northern Expedition again and completely destroyed the Jin State. I don't know which method Uncle and Brother Wang think is better to choose at that time? ”

Shizi said: "Do you need to say this? Of course, the latter method is better. The latter method can be recognized by everyone in the world, especially those wealthy families, who have a great say in the people. ”

The Eighth Prince also persuaded: "Your brother is right, the latter method is the safest. At this time, Zhao Ji's father and son have been captured, humiliated, and disgraced, even if they return to the Central Plains, what qualifications do they have to be emperors? Besides, the Great Song Dynasty established by Grandpa Tai has been given to the descendants of Zhao Er, and it turns out that the people in their second room are no longer suitable to be emperors. What's more, this country was rebuilt by you after you lost it, and it has nothing to do with you anymore, and we won't give it to you again this time. Of course, the virtuous nephew thought that the people of the Central Plains would suffer more from the war and lose millions more innocent lives. ”

Zhao Chongyang sighed: "Yes, if the Jin people are allowed to go south, they will burn, kill, loot and kill all the way to Tokyo, thousands of heads will fall to the ground, and countless people will be displaced and homeless." However, if I single-handedly block the Jin soldiers and drive them back to the north, then the court will no longer have the threat of the Jin people, and will come back and start to clean up our people. It is estimated that I will be given a false position first, and I will be dismissed. Then a traitorous minister, under the instruction of Zhao Ji's father and son, said that I raised soldiers and horses privately, and I had already had the heart of disobedience. At least they were expelled from the court, and at worst, they were killed, and even the nine clans were exterminated. ”

"So, nephew, you don't have a foolproof plan, don't be hot-headed and move blindly easily." ……

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the four little beauties came to Kaifeng under the protection of Pang Wanchun and others and lived in the Eight Princes' Mansion. Qiu Qiongying and Liu Qiaoling were responsible for the business work handed over to the two maids, Red Sleeves and Ziyan, and since then the two women have embarked on the road of business.

In the north of the city, the capital base of Wantong Commercial Bank was expanded again, and the coal factory, paper mill, textile workshop, and food and beverage seasoning workshop were reopened. At the same time, the business area is completely separated from the work area. Like other trade cities, the commercial area is mainly engaged in the wholesale of goods, including restaurants and entertainment venues, for food, accommodation and entertainment for those who come to pick up goods.

In the city, the Vantone Chamber of Commerce also opened a printing house and a bookstore that distributed books. Zhao Gongzi's "Jiang Ziya's Fengshen Ji" rewritten according to the "Fengshen List" in the memory of later generations has been completed, and this time it will be published together with "Journey to the West", and Zhao Chongyang plans to print 10,000 copies of each of the two books.

In addition, as early as the beginning of July, when Zhao Chongyang and his party arrived in Tokyo, the imperial court had already announced the dates of this year's big exam, which were the fifth, sixth, and seventh days of the first month of September. Therefore, throughout August, Zhao Chongyang played with several young ladies for a day during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the rest of the time, several of them were doing mock questions repeatedly. In such repeated practice, the exam questions have been rehearsed several times by them. Zhao Chongyang estimated that even Hu Taoshu, who had the worst understanding between them, would be admitted to the third class of Jinshi, that is, the top three Jinshi, and it would be completely possible to find a fellow Jinshi to be born.

Before you know it, August has passed, and the long-awaited September has arrived. In order to facilitate the exam, on the first day of the ninth lunar month, Zhao Chongyang and his eight sons lived in the Homecoming Inn again, while the four little beauties still lived in the Eight Kings' Mansion. Zhao Chongyang told everyone that in the last few days, there is no need to bury your head in the questions, everyone should go out to relax, the mastery of knowledge is the result of long-term efforts, relying on the last two or three days of temporary cramming, it does not work at all, but makes people too nervous, and the rest is not good, which affects the performance of the examination room. Therefore, from the first to the third year of junior high school, the eight people no longer read books, but just took out the questions that everyone had answered best in the past to review, in fact, in Zhao Chongyang's view, it was asking everyone to memorize the exam questions.

Zhao Chongyang believes that the answers that everyone remembers not only have the characteristics of each person, but also integrate the opinions of eight people to polish and improve, that is, the poetry part, and all of them have reached the level of excellent poetry.
