The advent of the Xiaoice River period is not postponed by human will, which is the law of the operation of the Heavenly Dao.

The rest of the scene will only get colder and colder every year until the West Lake completely freezes over.

In the past, Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan could be harvested three times a year, because the temperature was suitable, but if the temperature was too low in winter, winter wheat would not survive, and it would become two crops a year, and the annual grain yield would drop by two to three layers.

Therefore, Han Zhen must seek a new granary.

Cochin has been a granary since ancient times, and the Red River Delta has fertile land and a good climate, which is the best grain producing area.

Han Zhen did not exaggerate in the slightest, planting rice in the Red River Delta, there is really no need to plant rice, throw a handful of seeds down, and you can have a bumper harvest in three months.

Since Jiaozhi is so good, why has it not been valued by the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times?

The reason is simple, the cost of domination is too high.

Needless to say, the Tang Dynasty had the ability to really rule Jiaozhi, but the problem was that the climate in the Tang Dynasty warmed up at that time, the Central Plains was subtropical, and it rarely snowed in Guanzhong, and even the two Zhejiang provinces had no time to develop, so how could they have the effort to manage Jiaozhi thousands of miles away.

During the Zhao and Song dynasties, with the rapid development of shipbuilding and the rise of shipping, the waterway was more mature, and it was more time-saving and labor-saving to transport grain back to China from Jiaozhi than by land.

But the question is, as far as Zhao Song is concerned, it is difficult to protect himself under the attack of Western Xia and Liao, and he still fights?

Throughout the dynasties, the only one who had the opportunity to truly rule Jiaozhi was the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that the policy went wrong at that time, and it took a lot of effort to lay down Jiaozhi, neither immigrating nor co-opting the elite class of Jiaozhi, and the resident officials also engaged in high-pressure tyranny, and finally had to go away in disgrace, so that Jiaozhi became a vassal state to pay tribute.

It's purely a matter of decision-making.

What is the strongest in the Han cultural circle?

It's assimilation!

Yidi into China is Huaxia, and Huaxia into Yidi is Yidi.

In the area of cultural export, Huaxia is crushing to neighboring countries, which can be called a dimensionality reduction blow.

Every time Bai Juyi published a new poem, he could make the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom happy, and he read it dozens of times.

The monarch of Goryeo dreamed of the vassal kingdom of the Central Plains.

Whenever there is a popular poem in the city of Tokyo, it will be sung among the nobles of the Liao State in a few days.

Even in Western Xia, the civil officials above the court were all Han children of Qingyi.

However, compared with the Liao State, Goryeo and the Wa State, the Western Xia was slightly better, and the emperors of the past dynasties were well aware of the assimilation ability of the Chinese terror, and in order to prevent it from being completely sinicized, a lot of measures were taken, such as party members were not allowed to wear Han clothes, comb Han hair ornaments, and so on.

The Liao State is not good, after more than 100 years of sinicization, the high-level aristocracy has been completely sinicized.

You look at Yelu Yu and see these people, the official words of the Central Plains are a few points more standard than Han Zhen, and every time he mentions Bianjing, his eyes are full of yearning.

If you want to take Jiaozhi, Liangguang and Dali must be won.

And this kind of takedown cannot be as fettered as the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties, but a real and genuine rule.

Lu He's words can be said to have touched Han Zhen's heart.

Liu Chang's efficiency was very high, and in the evening, he presented the detailed excerpts of Lu He and even the Lu family.

"Lu Jiuyuan, Lu Jiuling!"

When he saw the name of Lu He's son, Han Zhen finally remembered.

His father, the founder of the new school in the future, no wonder he felt familiar before.

Lu Jiuyuan's reputation is not as good as Wang Yangming's, because he is a pioneer and is still in the exploration stage, so the theoretical system is not perfect.

And Wang Yangming is the culmination of the study of the heart, and the blue is better than the blue.

It's like Zhu Xi, who stands on the shoulders of great sages such as Zhou Dunyi, Zhang Zai and Cheng Yi, and collects the culmination of science.

Everyone knows Confucius, but how many people know the four teachers of Confucius?

There is more than one Lu Jiuyuan in the Lu family, the brothers are all talents, one person has an epiphany, it may be a coincidence, the brothers are like dragons, that is the origin of family learning, and it is inseparable from Lu He's careful teaching.

It can be seen from this that Lu Heqi's talent is learned.

After looking at it for a while, Han Zhen found that the Lu family had been unoccupied for more than a hundred years, and they were basically studying at home, which was a little purer than the Xie family.

"Not bad."

Putting down the fold, Han Zhen nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that the official family was in a good mood, Liu Chang quipped: "What official does Your Majesty plan to reward him?" ”

He has been serving Han Zhen for a year and a half, and he knows that the official family is easy-going on weekdays, and there are no harsh rules.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "Don't worry, let it go first, it's too easy to get, and you usually don't cherish it." ”

Besides, he will not grant the other party a high-ranking official because of some advice, and will first give a small and small real deficiency to try the other party's quality.

As the saying goes, it's the mule that the horse pulls out for a walk.

Whether it is on paper or real talent, it will be clear when you are an official for a few months.

Han Zhen instructed: "Chuan Yue Fei will come to see you." ”

"Yes."

Liu Chang responded.

……

When Yue Fei came to the palace again, Han Zhen was having dinner.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

Yue Fei bowed.

"Pengju is here."

Han Zhen paused his chopsticks and asked, "Can you have dinner?" ”

Yue Fei shook his head: "No." ”

Han Zhen beckoned, "Just sit down and eat together." ”

Hearing this, Yue Fei was not hypocritical, and after thanking him, he sat down.

Han Zhen is the emperor immediately, and when he was fighting, he climbed the ice and snow with the soldiers and ate a pot of porridge together, Yue Fei had long been used to it, and he didn't have a sense of alienation like other emperors.

Han Zhen is different from ordinary people's strength, and the side effect is that he has a great appetite, so he usually uses a big bowl for meals, and it is too troublesome to use a small bowl.

And Yue Fei is also a natural giant, the two of them are holding a big bowl and eating silently.

In a short time, a table of food was swept away.

Picking up a handkerchief and wiping the corners of his mouth, Han Zhen took the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "How is the morale of the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army?" ”

"Okay."

Yue Fei said truthfully: "Many soldiers have contracted rashes, but they are gradually getting better under the treatment of military doctors, and homesickness is inevitable. ”

Han Zhen nodded and said: "The Xuzhou army can't move for the time being, we need to guard against the Fang Qi Buddha in Fujian, I will go to the military camp tomorrow to offer condolences and rewards, and appease the army." ”

Yue Fei said with a smile: "Your Majesty personally condolences and rewards, and the army's heart can be determined." ”

Han Zhen asked again: "How did you do when you were ordered to recruit the local people of Liangguang and Fujian to form an expeditionary force?" ”

Hearing this, Yue Fei said with a sad face: "At present, only more than 1,000 people have been recruited, and Fang Qifo has cut off the official roads between Fujian and Jiangnan West Road, Liangzhejiang Road and other places, and over there in Liangguang, Han'er is already scarce, concentrated in Guangzhou, and the rest are all natives, who do not communicate with Han'er, and there is no way to recruit." ”

These more than 1,000 people were recruited before Fang Qifo became king.

Han Zhen instructed: "The matter of the expeditionary force will be stopped for the time being, and after taking Fujian and Liangguang, we will recruit again." ”

"Your Majesty is planning to use troops against Fujian?"

Yue Fei's eyes lit up.

He has a calm personality, but in his heart, like Liu Qi, he is eager to expand his territory and make contributions.

For the Han and Tang dynasties, the literati have different views, but as martial artists, they all yearn for the majesty of the Han and Tang dynasties.

Where the sun and the moon shine, the mountains and rivers go, all are Han soil.

Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger is a romance that belongs to men alone.

"Not bad."

Han Zhen nodded.

Fujian and Guangzhou, with two major ports, Quanzhou and Guangzhou, are not held in their hands, and maritime trade will be controlled by others.

Moreover, Fang Qifo has opium in his hand, and it needs to be eradicated as soon as possible.

Han Zhen said in a deep voice: "After taking Xiangyang, I will order Kuang Zixin to lead the water division to Quanzhou Port, this battle is mainly based on the water division, and you lead the Xuzhou army as a supplement, and the front and rear are flanked." ”

"The last general commands."

Yue Fei replied loudly.

Han Zhen patted him on the shoulder: "I am still relieved to do things." ”

Yue Fei's heart was moved, and he said in a firm tone: "The last general will definitely live up to Jun's grace." ”

After talking about the matter, Han Zhen and Yue Fei chatted casually to promote the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

"By the way, I heard that your wife was found, but what happened now?"

At that time, when Han Zhen went north to cut gold, Yue Fei passed through Tangyin's hometown and learned that his wife Liu had run away with someone.

What is unexpected is that the man Liu is looking for is going around and around, and now he is a craftsman in the army under Liu Qi.

This incident made Liu Qi very embarrassed, and hurriedly wrote a letter to inform Yue Fei of the matter.

Yue Fei smiled bitterly: "I have been on the border all the year round, she has to take care of her mother and pull the children alone, and she has a miserable life at home, after all, I am sorry for her, and I promised her five hundred yuan to let her live a good life." ”

"It's done brightly."

Han Zhen praised it, and then said: "Why is the husband without a wife, when Fujian and Lingnan are pacified, I will personally be the matchmaker for you." ”

Yue Fei refused: "Your Majesty's good intentions have been understood, but I don't have the heart to continue now, so I'll talk about it later." ”

"It's fine."

Han Zhen didn't say anything more.

After chatting for a while, Yue Fei got up and said goodbye.

As soon as he left, Liu Chang came to report: "Your Majesty, Tao Qianhu asks to see." ”

"Xuan."

Han Zhen commanded.

The next moment, Tao Ying walked into the hall: "Weichen has seen Your Majesty." ”

With the expansion of the scale of the Secret Spy Department, Tao Ying's official position has also risen all the way, and now he is serving as the envoy of the Secret Spy Department, responsible for the entire southern intelligence work.

"Sit."

Han Zhen greeted him, and after he sat down, he asked, "What is the matter?" ”

Tao Ying Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, regarding the diversion of Nanjian Prefecture to medicine, two secret agents have successfully infiltrated, but the plantation is heavily guarded, and there is no entry or exit, so it is extremely difficult to transmit information. ”

"There's no urgency."

Han Zhen already knew the hole cards of Fang Qifo, so he didn't care so much about the plantation.

After a slight hesitation, Tao Ying continued to report: "In addition, the two spies in Quanzhou lost contact, suspected of rebellion, and joined the Manichaean religion, but fortunately, the secret spy department is a one-way contact and cannot implicate other spies. ”

Hearing this, Han Zhen couldn't help frowning slightly, and ordered: "In the future, we will step up the ideological education work of the spies of the secret spy department, and the low-level spies will rebel, if the general banner, hundreds of households, or even thousands of households rebel, it will be troublesome." ”

I have to say that the brainwashing ability of this cult is really strong, and even the spies of the secret spy department can brainwash and rebel.

"Weichen is not doing well, please punish Your Majesty."

Tao Ying knelt on the ground, his face frightened.

Han Zhen also knew that he couldn't be blamed for this matter, the specialization of spy agents was not an overnight thing, including Xiao Worm, they were all groping step by step.

"Get up."

Han Zhen raised his right hand and asked, "Zhang Jun is now in Pucheng, Jianzhou?" ”

Tao Ying, who stood up again, hurriedly replied: "Yes, stationed in Qianyang Town, with 8,000 Song troops under his command. ”

Han Zhen instructed: "I have given you an errand, let the spies in Jianzhou contact Zhang Jun as soon as possible, and tell him that what Fang Qifo gave him, I can also give, including things that make him flutter like immortals." ”

"Weichen takes the order!"

Tao Ying replied in a loud voice.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "Go." ”

……

Pucheng.

Qianyang Town is not far from Longquan, but only 100 miles, but separated by more than a dozen mountains, dense forests, winding and rugged mountain roads, and through Jiaoshui wanton, has been completely cut off.

Nowadays, if you want to enter Jianzhou from Longquan, you can only go over the mountains.

Thirty miles west of Qianyang Town, is Panjiashan Silver Field.

Fujian is mountainous and has few lands, but there are many silver mines, and there are 27 silver mines still being mined, producing more than 69,000 taels of silver every year, accounting for one-third of the total output of silver mines in the country.

In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty has been suffering from a money shortage all these years.

The annual output of silver is only about 200,000 taels, but it is necessary to pay tribute to the Liao State 100,000 taels and the Western Xia 50,000 taels.

In addition, there is basically not much left of the tribute from Fanbang.

The lack of silver led to a greater demand for copper coins among the wealthy, who hoarded large quantities of copper coins in every household.

The rich have more copper coins in their hands, and the people naturally have fewer in their hands, so many remote counties and towns can only use the ancient barter to trade.

How did Jiaozi come about?

Isn't it just that the merchants in Shuzhong were forced to be helpless by the money shortage, and the credit currency that came out.

In the same way, Han Zhen's issuance of green money is mainly to alleviate the money shortage.

The sun is scorching.

Even in autumn, the weather in Fujian is not cool.

The midday sun was shining on the body, and it was stinging hotly.

After inspecting the barracks as usual, Zhang Jun returned to the town, followed by a white-clothed cultist.

Although they were controlled with the Pill of Bliss, the Seven Buddhas were still not at ease, and arranged for several core Manichaean followers to act as overseers.

In addition to controlling the army and monitoring Zhang Jun, these overseers were also responsible for missionary work in the army.

In addition, unless there is a war, Zhang Jun is not allowed to live in the barracks.

This is consistent with Zhao Song's strategy that generals do not know soldiers, and soldiers do not know generals.

Entering the town, feeling the thirst in his mouth, he set his horse and headed for the only foot shop in the town.

The shopkeeper immediately greeted him: "General Zhang, please." ”

"The old rules."

Dropping this sentence, Zhang Jun stepped up to the second floor.

The Namanichaean congregation followed in his footsteps.

Zhang Jun is not used to having a follower, staring at himself all day long, but there is no way, he is under the eaves and has to bow his head.

Fortunately, Fang Qi Buddha treated them with courtesy, and rewarded them with a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful women.

Not long after he sat down, the running guy walked over with a tray.

When he came to the table, the guy first took down a bowl of crushed ice fish, and when he was about to take the wine, the dragging plate in his hand suddenly tilted, the wine jug fell, and the fruit wine spilled on Zhang Jun.

The guy panicked, hurriedly took off the towel on his shoulder and wiped it, and apologized again and again: "General Zhang can't help it, I'm sorry." ”

"Blind your dog's eye!"

Zhang Jun is not good-tempered, he has a rebellious temperament, and the hot weather makes him irritable, and raising his hand is a slap.

was slapped in the face, but the guy was not annoyed, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's the small one that doesn't have long eyes, General Zhang, you have a lot of adults, and the small ones will be re-put on the pot." ”

Zhang Jun didn't plan to just forget it, he was ready to teach this short-sighted dog a lesson.

At this moment, he felt that the cuffs sank slightly, as if a paper ball had fallen into it.

At the same time, the guy quickly winked at him.

Groov!

Zhang Jun was shocked, glanced at the disciples who were spying on him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was not aware.
