Chapter 336: Xixia Envoy

Li Qianshun actually wanted to take action against the Song Dynasty.

Xixia, which survives in the cracks of several powerful countries, has been restricted by population and terrain distribution since its birth.

The huge sense of crisis makes it want to expand externally all the time.

Whenever given a chance, it will definitely show its fangs.

Especially the desire for the Guanzhong Plain of Shaanxi.

Taking over the Guanzhong Plain meant that the Song Dynasty's front line was compressed to the Shaanxi and Sichuan areas, and Xixia included a large amount of arable land, resources and population.

At that time, Xixia took Guanzhong to the east and looked at the Central Plains, looking like it could dominate the world.

But Li Qianshun has his own character traits.

He ascended the throne at the age of three. When he ascended the throne, his mother party was under dictatorship. Xixia's domestic politics were corrupt and the army was weak. He was beaten many times by the Song Dynasty.

What kind of character will a ruler who has been sidelined from power since childhood develop in the face of internal and external troubles?

Budget wisely!

Only by careful calculation can you survive.

It can be said that the political balance in Xixia has been played out by Li Qianshun.

Li Qianshun also used the art of external alliances and vertical and horizontal strategies to the extreme.

This kind of person always thinks about maximizing interests in his mind.

For example, regarding the Song Dynasty, the green and white salt from Xixia is now selling well in the Song Dynasty. Seeing that the annual income next year may reach 800,000 yuan, Li Qianshun has no idea of ​​using force against the Song Dynasty.

He also weighed how many resources and troops might be mobilized to capture the Guanzhong Plain if force was used. What would be the winning rate?

If it fails to win and its national strength is damaged, will the Jin Congress break up with their troops and directly press into Xingqing Mansion?

What is profit maximization?

To maximize profits, we need to evaluate both the benefits and the risks.

Children from poor families always worry more about something than children from rich families, because they don't have many opportunities for trial and error.

Li Qianshun said: "Let me think about this carefully."

"Your Majesty, this opportunity must not be missed before it comes again."

"I understand what the prime minister said."

Of course Li Qianshun knew that Wei Ming Anhui had his own Xiao Jiujiu. He encouraged him to use troops against the Song Dynasty today, and it must be the Jin State who was behind it.

The Song and Jin Dynasties signed an armistice agreement, but the Jin Kingdom would never really cease the war.

The Eastern Front supported Liu Yu, while the Western Front encouraged Xixia.

Whether Weiming Anhui can gain a long-term foothold in the Xixia court, in addition to checking and balancing Brother Richard, also depends on the Kingdom of Jin. It can be said that the Kingdom of Jin is his biggest backer.

Li Qianshun immediately called Brother Richard to come over and explain Weiming Anhui's thoughts.

Brother Richard said: "If your majesty thinks that you can send troops, you can first send envoys to Jingzhao Mansion in the name of trade to test the situation of the Song army at this time. As far as I know, the Song army is not harmonious internally."

Brother Richard also made a sidestep. I neither agreed to conquer the Song Dynasty nor opposed it. Since Your Majesty asked me to talk about this matter, it shows that I have some thoughts in my heart.

"Okay, just follow what King Jin said."

In November in Tokyo, winter has already entered, snow has begun to fall, and the sky is gradually getting darker.

Zhang Bi, a member of the Hexi Chamber of the Privy Council, returned home.

"Dad, I bought some sheep." Zhang Wencai came over and said.

"Sheep?" Zhang Bi was a little surprised, "Where did you buy the sheep?"

"A lot of sheep have appeared in Tokyo recently. I heard they were sold by the palace."

Zhang Bi immediately thought of the previously rumored issue of raising sheep at the Royal Racecourse.

Because of this incident, Zuo Jianyi doctor Hong Chu has been imprisoned.

I heard that the Prince of the East Palace was involved behind this matter, but the Zhao family kept the matter low-key.

"How much does one cost?"

Zhang Wencai said: "It's not expensive, just one hundred guan."

"Don't buy it again."

"Dad, it's only one hundred guan. We should have shared a lot of things with uncle!"

"Shut up!" Zhang Bi glanced at his son.

"Only one hundred strings..."

"This is not a matter of money!" Zhang Bi said with a sullen face, "Your father and I are now members of the New Deal faction, and you are a student of the University of Tokyo, a disciple of the Emperor!"

"What does this have to do with eating sheep?"

"Do you know where this sheep came from?"

"It's sold in the market."

"They're from the palace, they're from the royal pasture. Why do the officials sell the sheep and not eat them themselves?"

"Why?"

"Because this sheep may have been imported from the Kingdom of Jin in the north."

"If the officials don't eat, they have to make us not eat. It's just sheep. Dad, don't you really take the New Deal seriously?" Zhang Wencai said with a smile, "What does the New Deal look like? What do you think?

Don’t know? That’s just a method used by the imperial court to plunder people’s wealth, and Zhao Ding and the others are not good people either!”

"Idiot! You are a student of the University of Tokyo now. You have to know how to observe the direction of the wind, do you understand? You have to learn to adapt to what others want, and you need to use it to maintain the New Deal and win over people's hearts. Students of the University of Tokyo will be sent down to serve as officials in the future.

Yes, now is the best time for you to accumulate connections!"

"Why are you and me giving gifts everywhere? To climb up by supporting the New Deal! What the New Deal is has nothing to do with us. You have to remember that we have only one purpose in doing things, which is to climb up. Pay attention to your

words and deeds!"

"The child has learned a lesson."

Zhang Wencai continued: "Dad, that night, I saw with my own eyes that official Zhao killed someone."

Zhang Bidao: "What then?"

"It's been almost a month, and we're calling the police to arrest him!"

"Stupid pig!" Zhang Bi cursed angrily, "Aren't we just officials?"

"Then why didn't you report it?"

"Report what? Report that you led someone to pretend to be a member of the Privy Council and arrested people in front of the Daxiangguo Temple at night?" Zhang Bi pointed at Zhang Wencai's head with his finger, "You need to be smarter! Impersonating a court official is a capital crime!"

"But we're just going to let that guy surnamed Zhao go?"

"I asked about the person named Zhao you mentioned, but there is no such person!"

"impossible!"

"What's impossible? Don't you believe that your father can't find anyone if he wants to?"

"Dad, that night the man surnamed Zhao sang a poem at Qian's house. Everyone saw it, and his poems are now being circulated all over the capital!"

"Use your pig brain, that Zhao Ning is not his real name!"

Zhang Wencai turned around and was about to go out.

"where you go?"

"I'm going to ask Qian Jinshu, who is that Zhao Ning?"

"You idiot, why are you asking Qian Jinshu? Behind her is Taiwei Wang. Do you want this matter to reach Wang Zongliu's ears?"

"Then let's just let this matter go?" Zhang Wencai was unconvinced, "What if Zhao Ning reveals that we arrested Li that night? This matter involves a lot!"

"Didn't you tell me that his men killed someone that night? Killing someone in the streets of the capital is a serious crime. Even if he is a relative of the emperor and instigates his men to kill people in the streets, it will be true. He dare not publicize it."

"Then let that Zhao Ning go like this?"

"He is just a small person. Don't waste time on small people. Spend more energy on your classmates. Next year I will apply for you to enter the martial arts hall. After graduation, go to Yanyan Road and your uncle will give you a job.

A good errand."
