Zhao Guan's family wanted to send money to appease the people and show that the court attached great importance to the army and people of Taiyuan. This was naturally a benevolent policy. Qin Hui immediately went out and said: "Your Majesty is wise. All the officials are looking forward to the king's army going north. This also shows that your Majesty's saintly virtue has inspired all the people.

Fortunately, blessings for all people."

Zhang Shuye came out and said: "Your Majesty, the plan for now is to quickly seize Taiyuan, increase the people's strength, and mobilize troops and horses."

"What suggestions do you have?"

Zhang Shuye then said: "Wu Jie can be appointed as the economic envoy to Hedong, so as to gather the power of Hedong and rebuild the Taiyuan military town."

As soon as Zhang Shuye said this, several people were ready to stand up and object.

"Yes!" Zhao Ning was very straightforward. After all, this kind of thing had been rehearsed in private, and he would not give other people the opportunity to recommend it.

Qin Hui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Wu Jie is a military general after all, and all the military officers in this dynasty are civil servants."

Zhao Guanjia said: "Liu Qi, the strategic envoy of Yanyan Road, and Li Yanxian, the strategic envoy of Xihe Road, are both military generals. I think Wu Jie, the strategic envoy of Hedong, is very suitable."

In fact, Qin Hui wanted to recommend King Kang, and there were several people in the court today who wanted to recommend Zhao Gou.

The strategy after regaining Taiyuan was so important that Zhao Ning could rest assured only by giving this position to Wu Jie.

Next, he will quickly mobilize more soldiers and civilians to Taiyuan Prefecture.

Moufu Valley, replacing the state, facing Yanmen, building the Great Wall, accumulating troops, conquering Wuzhou, and seizing Ningbian.

These places are all important border areas. If these places can be recovered, almost all the land between the north of Hedong and the Inner Great Wall will be recovered.

This is equivalent to destroying the bridgehead of the Jin army's threat to Hedong and forcing the Jin army outside Yanmen Pass.

What are the benefits of this?

For example, now, if the Jin army wants to go south, if they go to Daizhou, the Jin army can hoard food and troops in Daizhou, use Daizhou as the front line, and attack Taiyuan directly.

If all these places are recovered, the Jin army can only gather troops in Yunzhong Mansion (Datong) outside Yanmen Pass.

Yunzhongfu and Hedong are separated by the Great Wall of Yanmenguan.

Zhao Ning can rebuild the Great Wall.

With the Great Wall, although it was impossible to completely block the barbarian invasion, the most important thing was that it blocked the cavalry from going south, or in other words, increased the cost of the barbarian march.

If the Jin army wants to destroy the Great Wall in a flat area, it must take time. Once the Great Wall sentry is discovered, the Song army can immediately send troops there to destroy and repair at the same time.

In addition to controlling the economic exchanges between the Central Plains and the grasslands, the Great Wall also has a military role here. It increases the cost of foreign enemies moving south.

Isn’t it all about money when fighting a war?

If I make your marching cost increase tenfold, you will be even more afraid to march straight in.

Some historical inventors on the Internet in later generations are full of prejudice against the Great Wall. That is because they stand on the basis of productivity in the 21st century, put on the aura of God, and swallow the sun and the moon.

During the Warring States Period, it was not unreasonable for the northern Xia to build the Great Wall.

As for Zhao Ning, this strategy can be called the "Repair the Great Wall Strategy."

This is just the beginning of the Great Wall restoration strategy.

After the Great Wall is repaired, the Great Wall can be used to control the internal and external economy, using both force and economy to double attack the Jin Kingdom.

Zhao Gou did not have the ability to serve as the economic envoy to Hedong.

Qin Hui obviously refused to give up. He said: "Your Majesty is wise. In extraordinary times, extraordinary people are used to carry out extraordinary plans."

Others also followed suit and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Qin Hui added: "I thought that Hedong was concentrated in Taiyuan, while Hebei West Road was concentrated in Zhongshan Mansion. The imperial court had made preparations to regain Zhongshan early in the morning, but there was no commander on the front line of Hebei West Road. Zong Xianggong was old and could only sit in command.

Daming Mansion."

Zhao Ning nodded.

Qin Hui then continued: "King Kang made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty in the second year of Jingkang, and last year he implemented the new agricultural policy of Jingdong and East Roads, which was well received by the public. Therefore, I recommended King Kang to be the commander-in-chief of the armies on the West Road of Hebei Province, and to be the commander-in-chief of Daming Prefecture.

Put it under jurisdiction."

"Kang Kang is now serving as the governor of Kaifeng, implementing the new policy of handing cash to the countryside. This is the top priority of the country. Why should he serve as the economic envoy of Hebei West Road?" Zhao Ning directly refused, "Xiangong Zong recommended a candidate, Yue Pengju.

With repeated military exploits, he can be appointed as the military envoy of Hebei West Road."

He didn't ask for everyone's opinion, and just said: "Mr. Uncle Ye, let's make it this way."

"yes."

Qin Hui was scolded twice, and his heart sank. He did not dare to say anything more, and just said: "I think it's wrong, your majesty is wise."

Li Ruoshui, the Minister of Rites, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Korean envoy has arrived in Tokyo for a few days, and this time he is outside the palace."

"Xuan."

Jin Dunzhong, the envoy of Goryeo, led the envoy into the palace and made a grand ceremony.

"The envoy greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, long live the Holy Peace."

"Sacred peace."

"The envoy has brought some tributes from our country. Here is a thousand-year-old ginseng, which is hereby presented to His Majesty the Emperor."

Jin Dunzhong held a brocade box with both hands. Wang Huaiji walked down and opened the brocade box. There was indeed a pair of ginseng inside, which looked to be quite old.

However, it is somewhat exaggerated to say that ginseng lasts for a thousand years, it only lasts for a few hundred years.

"Thank you envoy for the gift, I accepted it."

Jin Dunzhong said: "I wish His Majesty the Emperor long live and the Song Dynasty prosper."

According to the tribute system between the Celestial Dynasty and the surrounding small countries, the small countries paid tribute and the Celestial Empire reciprocated with gifts and gifts to the small countries.

But Zhao Ning obviously doesn't intend to play his cards according to common sense.

Because Gao Li is not honest now.

In the first year of Jingkang, Goryeo declared itself a vassal to the Kingdom of Jin and paid tribute to the Kingdom of Jin. Some ministers in Goryeo had a bad relationship with the Kingdom of Jin.

The father of Jin Donzhong, the envoy of the Privy Council of Korea, Kim Fu-shi, was the leader of the pro-Kim faction in the court of Korea.

Zhao Guanjia asked: "I heard that your country has surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin?"

Jin Dunzhong was stunned for a moment and glanced at Li Ruoshui, as if asking him: Didn't we agree privately not to mention this matter during this tribute?

Li Ruoshui also expressed helplessness.

Seeing that Jin Dunzhong remained silent, Zhao Ning pressed him and asked, "Envoy, right?"

"Our country is a remote and small country. The Jin State is holding us hostage by force, and small countries dare not disobey."

"Your Excellency, your country is forced to have no choice but to do so?"

"Yes."

"Then since you have made your choice, why do you come to pay tribute to me, the Song Dynasty again?"

This question left Jin Dunzhong speechless.

In fact, the current mainstream in Goryeo is pro-gold.

Historically, Zhao Gou even sent an envoy to make a deposit through Goryeo, but was rejected by the powerful minister Jin Fushi.

And Goryeo now came to the Song Dynasty to pay tribute. It was not to show respect to the Song Dynasty, but just to obtain commercial benefits from the tribute.

After all, according to the rules, if a small country pays tribute, the Celestial Empire will reward it generously.

For example, in history, people were directly rewarded with copper coins, or given silk, tea, etc., and the reward was tens of thousands of coins.

And for the stingy Zhao Ning, these are just a fucking waste of money, giving money to the Goryeo gang?

My money was stolen from my family through hard work!

Jin Dunzhong said: "The Song Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and our country pays tribute in compliance with the etiquette of the saints."

After all, Jin Fushi served as an envoy to the Song Dynasty when Zhao Ji was in power. Jin Fushi, who was good at literature, was still somewhat famous in the literary world of the Song Dynasty.

So much so that people in the Song Dynasty called Goryeo "Little China".
