"A more powerful and savage Jurchen appeared in the north of the Great Song Dynasty!"

The ministers fell into deep thought, if it is really as Fan Zheng said, then this policy has such a trouble, not only is it the next policy, it is simply the next policy.

In Fan Zheng's upper, middle and lower three strategies, the upper policy is naturally the king, but it takes 20 years, even if the Great Song Dynasty is making progress in the past 20 years, the Liao State and the Western Xia are naturally improving, especially the Liao State controls the Silk Road, and its national strength will definitely be further improved.

At that time, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State may be unpredictable, and if they want to deter the Liao State from interfering, I am afraid it will be very small.

As for Zhongce, there is also a lot of uncertainty, and no one dares to guarantee whether the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang will really go crazy and completely fight against Liao, so Zhongce can only resign himself to fate and take one step at a time.

The next strategy is to have the greatest chance of success, the least amount of money consumed, once it is executed, it will definitely make the chickens and dogs jump within the Liao State, and there is no time to care about the Great Song Dynasty.

However, it is such a seemingly perfect strategy, and there is such a huge hidden danger, if it were not for Fan Zheng himself to point it out, everyone would not have noticed it in the slightest.

"What are the chances of Jurchen success!" Zhao Xu asked solemnly.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "Once the doctor announces the medicinal value of ginseng, the Jurchen who sits on Changbai Mountain will definitely rise, a thousand-year-old ginseng is worth a thousand yuan, as long as the Jurchen holds the ginseng, there will be a steady stream of wealth, enough to exchange for any material, plus the Jurchen is known to the world for bravery, today's Jurchen is the party of the past." ”

"Today's Jurchen is the party item of the past!"

The three prime ministers couldn't help but breathe, their faces were solemn, they all experienced the terrifying experience of being dominated by Li Yuanhao in the world, when Li Yuanhao was born, leading the Western Xia to win more with less, with soldiers like gods, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State were defeated, and finally established the Western Xia.

"How is this possible? Fan Taicheng is too exaggerated. Zeng Bu frowned.

"The national strength of the Liao State is better than that of the Great Song Dynasty, if the Jurchens are not strong, how can they pose a threat to the Liao State, why should we waste our energy on the Jurchens!" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, Jurchen bravery is world-famous, even he has heard of it in the Great Song Dynasty, which is also the reason why they are eyeing the Jurchen.

"Although the Jurchens are strong, even Li Yuanhao back then failed to cross the Hengshan, what capital did the Jurchens dare to pose a threat to the Great Song Dynasty." Zeng Bu said proudly.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Although Li Yuanhao was elite back then, he had fewer troops, and although the Great Song Dynasty was weak, he had 800,000 forbidden troops. ”

Zeng Bu's face was embarrassed, he naturally knew Li Yuanhao's bravery back then, and his combat power could be said to be the first in the world, if it weren't for the Great Song Dynasty military god Di Qing who was born, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty would have suffered heavy losses.

"The Jurchen is not, it has lived in the north for generations between the white mountains and black waters, extremely cold-resistant, the time is not only not a disadvantage, but its advantage, plus there is no Hengshan natural danger between the Liao Kingdom Tokyo and Changbai Mountain, once the Jurchen become bigger, the long drive south, the Liao State will be at risk of extinction." Fan Zhengzheng color road.

"It is impossible for the Jurchens to replace the Liao State, but the Liao State has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can they be afraid of the Jurchen more than 10,000 people." Lu Dafang snorted coldly.

Fan Zheng sneered: "The Great Song Dynasty also did not put Li Yuanhao in his eyes back then, and the result was not a disaster, and what is the use of the Liao State's soldiers and horses, when the Liao State suppressed the Great Song Dynasty, it was not the same fiasco, not the same fiasco, in the hands of Li Yuanhao, now the Liao State has been peaceful for a hundred years, and the military equipment may have already galloped, and in the face of the rise of the Jurchens, who are known for their bravery, I am afraid that they will repeat the mistakes of facing Li Yuanhao back then." ”

Lu Dafang frowned, but he had nothing to say, after all, the Liao State also attacked Western Xia with a large army back then, and after the same fiasco.

"Nope! The grassland has always respected the strong, once the Jurchen rises, there will definitely be countless tribes to come to rely on, coupled with the source of ginseng, I am afraid there will be a risk of destroying the Liao State. ”

However, the ministers did not think so, although what Fan Zheng said could happen, but the probability was very low, after all, no one thought that the Jurchens, who were less than 10,000 people, had overthrown the Liao State, which could plague the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years and was extremely powerful.

Fan Zheng saw that everyone didn't believe it, and sneered: "Most castles are broken from the inside, so although the Great Song Dynasty can't defeat the Liao State, but the Jurchens may not be able to, if you add the secret support of the Great Song Dynasty, the chances of the Jurchens rising will be greatly increased." ”

Many ministers suddenly fell into a tangle, and now there are two choices in front of them, one is to give up Fan Zheng's next policy, the Great Song Dynasty will face the embarrassment of the Liao State and the Western Xia, and the other is to support the Jurchens, and in the future, the Jurchens will rise, and the Great Song Dynasty will face a more powerful enemy.

After a long time, Zhao Xu said solemnly: "If the Jurchens are destined to rise, then the Great Song Dynasty will face the powerful Jurchens sooner or later, in this case, why not take advantage of the Jurchen rise opportunity, take the opportunity to recover the Western Xia, and then compete with the Jurchens, then the Great Song Dynasty will have no worries, the national strength will reach its peak, and this battle may not be lost." ”

However, it is clear that Fan Zheng has pointed out the consequences of the next strategy, but Zhao Xu is still itchy and unwilling to give up this strategy.

No, because this strategy is too amazing, and the risks and benefits are equally huge.

And Zhao Xu thinks that he is young and strong, it is the time to make great achievements, how can he do nothing, now there is an opportunity to dominate the world, even if he takes a risk, he is not willing to miss it.

"The official is wise!"

The ministers bowed down one after another.

"Tell me the will! The Empress Dowager urgently needs a thousand-year-old ginseng to take medicine, and I offer a reward for thousands of dollars. Zhao Xu said proudly.

"The official family is benevolent and filial!"

The ministers congratulated again.

Lu Dafang couldn't help but twitch, what a irony this scene was, it was Zhao Xu who designed to force the Empress Dowager Gao to abdicate, but now she is respectfully called benevolent and filial piety by the ministers.

"Fan Taicheng, the strategy of supporting the Jurchens is up to you to implement!" Zhao Xu said solemnly.

The use of ginseng to support the rise of the Jurchens is what Fan Zheng mentioned, and Fan Zheng is a leader of the doctor, the biggest role of ginseng is medical treatment, and it is most appropriate for Fan Zheng to implement it.

"Obey the order!" Fan Zheng bowed his head and said.

He took the initiative to use ginseng to provoke civil strife in Liao, although he set it as the next policy, and also believed that it had a chance of success, rather than the rise of the Jurchens in the future and the shame of Jingkang, it was better for him to detonate the cancer of the Jurchens in advance.

If the Great Song Dynasty was self-contained and clung to the incomplete, no matter when the Jurchens rose, the shame of Jingkang could not be avoided.

It is better to take advantage of the current prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty to change the law, and then take advantage of the situation to recover the Western Xia, so that the Great Song Dynasty national power can reach its peak, and there is no chance to defeat the Jurchens.

……………………

"The Empress Dowager urgently needs a thousand-year-old ginseng to continue her life! The official family offers a reward for thousands of purchases! ”

Soon, a piece of news caused a sensation in the entire Kaifeng City, and immediately caused a lot of discussion among the people in the city.

"Stay alive!"

Everyone who heard the news was in an uproar.

Everyone in the world is greedy for life and death, and the so-called medicine and medicine do not kill people, even emperors cannot escape the cycle of life and death.

Although the evil doctor Fan Zheng has the skill of resurrecting the dead, he is limited to the emergency rescue of sudden diseases, and once the time is too long, he is still unable to return to the sky.

And now there is finally another miracle medicine that can sustain people's lives, and that is thousand-year-old ginseng.

"Ginseng resembles a human shape, seven taels for ginseng, eight taels for treasures, nine taels for refinement, and thousand-year-old ginseng can be transformed into ginseng babies! Wearing a red belly pocket, you can shuttle through the deep mountains and old forests, and if you want to dig up the thousand-year-old ginseng, you must tie it with a red thread, otherwise it will escape. ”

"Ordinary ginseng can prolong life, 100-year-old ginseng can be more precious, thousand-year-old ginseng is a miracle medicine that can not be found, the Empress Dowager is already terminally ill, all relying on the evil doctor Fan Zheng to use a thousand years of ginseng to hang up and continue her life."

Legend has it that thousand-year-old ginseng only exists on Changbai Mountain, and Changbai Mountain is a sacred mountain that can give birth to such spiritual objects as thousand-year-old ginseng.

………………

All of a sudden, there were endless rumors about ginseng in Kaifeng City, and some of them were even spread to be miraculous.

"Xianggong is so deceitful, I'm afraid it's not good!"

In Fan's mansion, Li Qingzhao, the initiator of the rumors in Kaifeng City, was a little weak-minded.

Fan Zheng spread his hands and said: "Liar! Ginseng does have great benefits for the human heart, strengthens the heart function, and long-term use of ginseng to nourish the body can delay the life of the person. ”

Li Qingzhao's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in disbelief: "So ginseng really has such a miraculous effect?" ”

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Of course not, but in terms of nourishment and longevity, ginseng should be the first, the emperor and concubine, the dignitaries and nobles do not lack glory and wealth, and naturally they value their lives more. ”

"The husband is talented, strategizing between the strategists, and winning thousands of miles away."

Li Qing looked at Fan Zheng and worshipped.

She is the first talented woman in the world, and now she is the pioneer of opera, proud of the Song Dynasty literary circle, there are few men who can be worthy of her, and Fan Zhengfei is not only the way of poetry is on par with her, but also has the skill of medical country, it is the greatest luck in her life to meet such a good match.

Fan Zheng looked at Li Qingzhao's adoring eyes, and said with an evil smile: "No! Compared with strategizing between the curtains, the husband wants to win between the curtains. ”

Li Qingzhao's eyes were like silk when he heard this, and he glanced at Fan Zheng provocatively and said, "Who will win is not certain?" ”

…………………………

With the efficacy of ginseng spreading in Kaifeng City, and the medicinal use of ginseng has been recorded in the medical books of all dynasties, its role of sustaining life is not apocryphal, and countless dignitaries are proud of owning ginseng.

The price of ginseng has also risen, and the price of ginseng with high years has been speculated to a sky-high price, and Kaifeng City is the economic center of the world.

The demand for ginseng from the Kaifeng magnates, as well as the skyrocketing price of ginseng, countless businessmen suddenly smelled the business opportunity and went to the Song-Liao border to buy ginseng at a high price.

The news that ginseng can continue its life was extremely sensational, and naturally it also spread to Shangjing in Liao, alarming the already old Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji.

"This is the thousand-year-old ginseng!"

In the Liao Palace, Yelu Hongji looked at the human-shaped ginseng in front of him with a look of surprise.

The imperial doctor on the side pointed to the ginseng and offered the treasure and said: "Your Majesty, look at this ginseng reed head like a human head; The taproot resembles the torso of a person; The roots are like human legs, like human nature, which have been recorded by all dynasties, especially the ginseng of the last years is extremely precious, enough to prolong people's life. ”

"Does ginseng really have such miraculous effects?" Yelu Yanxi was skeptical.

Without him, just because ginseng was not a medicinal material that appeared suddenly, and now the price of the bounty offered by the Great Song Dynasty suddenly skyrocketed, which naturally made Yelu Yanxi suspicious.

The imperial physician of Liao swore and said: "Qi Yu Huang Taisun, ginseng is a great tonic, this is known to everyone, if the imperial grandson does not believe it, you can try it yourself, but you can't use it more, and the thousand-year-old ginseng is indeed used by the people to hang their lives." ”

"And the effect of ginseng was discovered by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, who himself pioneered the art of resurrecting the dead, the Empress Dowager Gao was already terminally ill, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng used ginseng to resurrect Mrs. Gao, so that the Empress Dowager Gao can survive to this day."

Yelu Hongji's heart was pounding, he has lived a long life, and recently he has suffered from the underlying disease of old age, and the fear of death in his heart has increased more and more, and now he suddenly heard that there is a life-sustaining medicine, so he naturally will not miss it.

At the moment, Yelu Hongji naturally would not be gullible, and immediately summoned a number of imperial doctors in a row, and only after getting a positive answer about the effect of ginseng did he rest assured.

As Fan Zheng said, the efficacy of ginseng is well known to the world, and he is only slightly mythologizing it, and there is no flaw at all.

That night, Yelu Hongji immediately took ginseng, and soon after, he felt hot and energetic, and under the excitement, he once again made a great deal of power and was in the harem.

On the second day, Yelu Hongji personally ordered that the Jurchen tribe provide a number of thousand-year-old ginseng every year.

"Emperor Liao also wants thousand-year-old ginseng!"

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation among the people.

The two royal families of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom both recognized the efficacy of ginseng, which made the popularity of ginseng rise again.

All of a sudden, a large number of pharmacists went to Changbai Mountain to buy ginseng at a high price.

"How can Da Song be so kind to announce the effects of ginseng, there must be fraud in this." Yelu Yanxi said anxiously.

In his opinion, if Da Song wants to ask for the purchase of thousand-year-old ginseng, he only needs to buy it secretly, and it is not reasonable at all to make such a big fanfare.

The cronie Yelu Zhangnu sneered: "Why should the imperial grandson care about the intentions of the Great Song Dynasty, now that the ginseng is produced in the Changbai Mountain of the Liao Kingdom, the imperial grandson only needs to order that in addition to paying tribute to His Majesty, the ginseng of the previous year collected by the Jurchen tribes will be purchased by the imperial grandson, so that the imperial grandson only needs to turn his hands, and it will be a monstrous profit." ”

Yelu Yanxi was suddenly moved, now that the price of ginseng has skyrocketed, if it is not curbed, it will definitely make the Jurchen tribe grow, which is not in the interests of the Liao State.

He also personally verified the efficacy of ginseng, which is indeed a nourishing medicine, and there is no problem, and now with the huge profits at his fingertips, in the end, greed blinded Yelu Yanxi's vigilance, and he also joined this ginseng feast.

All of a sudden, the world gathered in Changbai Mountain.
