For Li Yanxian, his duty is to guard the gate of Xihe Road.

For Zhang Jun, the responsibility is to stabilize the situation on the Sixth Road in Shaanxi.

For Zhao Ning, what needs to be stable is the entire Song Dynasty!

The wonderful thing about war, economy, and people's livelihood is that once there is a war, food must be transported, and food must be purchased with money, and there will inevitably be damage along the way.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the south of Yinshan Mountain and set up Shuofang City to attack the Xiongnu front line, what was the loss ratio when dispatching food?

Of the 20 kilograms of grain transported from Shandong (east of Mount Wei during the Han Dynasty), only 1 kilogram could reach Shuofang.

This shows the huge food loss in ancient times.

Of course, the Song Dynasty had abundant water transportation canals, and food loss was greatly reduced compared to the Han Dynasty.

But whether it's armaments or pensions, it's definitely a large amount.

Moreover, according to the historical habits of the Song Dynasty, if you win the battle against Xixia, you must build a city for strategic advancement. Otherwise, you cannot control the area you conquered, and the battle will be in vain.

Building a city involves recruiting people, which is one of the most expensive things to do and affects agricultural production.

Let’s just say that Xihe Road was conquered. In order to maintain the rule there, the Song Dynasty invested nearly 4 million yuan every year. Otherwise, it would not be able to maintain stability and it would be lost soon.

The imperial court simply did not have that much money to invest. After all, there were so many officials and empty imperial troops to support.

Otherwise, why would Sima Guang be clamoring to give up in the first place?

So, fighting on the front line and making money in the rear are all in vain if there is no money.

And when it comes to making money, you can't go to the civilians who are already living a difficult life, otherwise internal conflicts will explode and the situation will directly turn into a crooked neck tree.

So under the current situation, how to effectively complete the attack on Xixia without damaging the internal stability of the Song Dynasty?

At this time, it was time to test him, Boss Zhao.

The so-called all-out war with Xixia is a huge bet made by Zhao Ning, Li Qianshun, and Wanyan Wu!

Wanyan Wu Qimai sat aside and encouraged Xixia to take advantage of the internal chaos of the Song Dynasty to fuck the guy.

Li Qianshun was tempted and took action.

But Zhao Ning knows that when playing cards, you don't just look at what cards you have in your hand, you also have to think about what cards the other party has in their hand, and guess how the other party will play based on their personality and cards.

The cards in Li Qianshun's hand are limited, and he is the one who is most afraid of destroying the balanced situation.

Moreover, the beauty of the Three Kingdoms game is that no one party is willing to take the initiative to over-consume with the other party, thereby allowing the third party to gain advantage.

This is the only thing these three card players can agree on.

So if Li Qianshun wants to cause trouble at this time, how can he end it quickly?

The most brilliant way is undoubtedly Stud!

Zhao Ning: I stud.

Li Qianshun:Huh?

Zhao Ning: I said I stud.

Li Qianshun:Huh?

Zhao Ning: Don’t you understand? Stud!

Li Qianshun looked at the cards in his hand, and then looked at Wanyan Wu, who was sitting on the side with a harmless look on his face, begging to buy. Wanyan Wu naturally encouraged Li Qianshun not to give up.

But Li Qianshun's face twitched, he threw down his cards, and said with a stern expression: Zhao Guanjia, you are absolutely right. I think we should sit down and discuss the matter of world peace.

This strategic approach must be based on a balance of deterrence among the three countries.

After Zhang Jun read Zhao Ning's edict, he knew what the Zhao Guan family's only purpose was: to make Xixia surrender as quickly as possible.

The best strategy is to subdue the enemy's troops without fighting.

Zhang Jun was a little excited because Zhao Guanjia's ideas overlapped with his to some extent.

He sent Liu Qi to attack Yinzhou, not only with the first hand, but also with the second hand and the third hand.

However, after reading the imperial edict from Zhao Guan's family, he felt that there was no need to play out his cards one by one, and he should just mobilize the entire army to go north!

The fifth day of March, Tokyo city.

A young man rode a horse and slowly entered the city. He looked around.

Spring is beautiful, and the plane trees along the roads in Tokyo are already full of green shade.

The peach blossoms are at their most brilliant, pink, like fat, like jade, clustered together and connected into a piece.

The light of the lake is shining, the spring clouds are freshly washed, the fragrance is floating, and the tenderness is endless.

The clear shadow of Luoshan is walking in the spring light, carrying a bamboo basket.

At this time of year, some royal gardens will be open to the public, and people can enter and exit freely.

Many high-ranking officials and people who own many properties will also open their gardens to the outside world.

Of course, "tickets" will be charged, and there will be dedicated people to take care of them.

People in the Song Dynasty were very particular about emotions, good at living life, and began to pay more attention to themselves.

Therefore, some people in later generations said that Chinese humanism originated in the Song Dynasty.

We can't just care about the country's expansion of territory, we also care about our immediate life and family.

Creation starts with humanities.

This is what happens naturally when supplies become abundant and the market appears.

The basis of this situation is the high yield of grain in the primary industry.

The young man looked around and felt that Tokyo was very different from previous years.

The panic caused by the siege of the city by the Jin army in the second year of Jingkang has slowly dissipated. People have regained their confidence in life and continue to work hard to live.

Moreover, the imperial court has reorganized the officialdom in recent years, and at least the city of Tokyo has gained a lot of vitality.

This young man is none other than Hu Quan, who was previously sent to Qingyuan Mansion to take charge of the newspaper office.

Newspaper offices in the Qingyuan Prefecture area have already been established. Hu Quan rose through the ranks in the past six months and directly took charge of the Hebei West Road General Newspaper Office.

Many of the issues that newspapers are involved in are actually political issues, and even behind the publicity of people's livelihood, there is actually politics.

These experiences opened Hu Quan's horizons.

After being transferred back this time, he didn't know what errands Zhao Guan's family would arrange for him again.

On the contrary, he was quite pleased with the leisurely atmosphere in Tokyo.

He also heard that many people occasionally discussed the Zhao Guan family's new policies.

The New Deal has been implemented in Gyeonggi Road for nearly two years. At present, people's livelihood has recovered very stably, food prices are stable, and the market is orderly.

Except for the recent case of officials being tried by Qin Hui, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, on the pension embezzlement case, people have been imprisoned one after another, which occasionally stirs up trouble among the people, but there seems to be nothing else going on.

At this moment, a cavalryman rushed in from the city gate and shouted: "Hebei Leshou is a great victory, the Shenwu Army defeated the 70,000-strong army of Qi, Liu and Yu!"

This great victory attracted the attention of many people, and people began to discuss it privately.

"That Yue Pengju is really an amazing person. He has won so many battles in the past few years!"

"The Zhao Guan family knows people well and promotes such generals. In my opinion, the Jin people will be miserable!"

"..."

These words were heard by a young man who was sitting at the door of the wine shop drinking. He did not do anything and just drank quietly.

After drinking, Zhang Mao went to Fan Tower.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, you're here again."

"Where's Sijun?"

"A high official came today, and she was playing the piano with him."

"Oh, what official?"

"It's said to be a man named Lin Yifei, who is young and is the head of the Criminal Department."

Only then did Zhang Mao feel relieved.

Lin Yifei was the son of Qin Hui, a powerful official in the dynasty. Zhang Mao found out about this on purpose, and he was also the person Zhang Sijun got close to.

Soon, Hu Quan arrived at the entrance of the palace.
Chapter completed!
