Zhao Ning must admit that what Zhao Ding said makes sense.

It is okay to move to the south, but there must be a reason that convinces everyone in the world.

Nowadays, the slogans shouted by the South when it comes to trouble are getting better and better every time.

What about reducing taxes and resting with the people?

What kind of armistice and peace negotiation? We can no longer let our people in the Song Dynasty die for no reason. We can no longer let parents lose their children and children lose their fathers.

Among these voices, some people shouted that in order to maintain peace and express our Song Dynasty's sincerity for peace, the imperial court should return Liaodong.

Interest groups in the South have now seized the commanding heights of justice.

So what can Zhao Ning do?

If Zhao Ning wants to kill them, isn't he telling the northerners: I don't want to reduce taxes or rest with the people?

Isn’t this telling the people in the north: I don’t want peace, I want to continue fighting, and I want to continue sending you to death?

What is the righteousness of the world?

The righteousness of the world is a rule recognized by everyone in the world.

For example, benevolent government, respect for the people, justice, trustworthiness, etc.

Once the enemy puts on these cloaks to seek personal gain, and you oppose them, it will be easy to fall into the trap, trap yourself in public injustice, and become a public enemy.

The nature of people who eat melons is that they are easily misled and led to the rhythm.

Zhao Ning's eyes fell on Zhao Ding, and a smile appeared on his face.

It's the kind of smile where everything is under his control.

"Hurry up and negotiate with the Jin envoy and agree to the Jin Kingdom that the Song Dynasty can open a market for buying and selling anything as long as it is not contraband."

Zhao Ding was stunned for a moment, and seemed to immediately think of what the Zhao Guan family wanted to do.

Zhao Ding said: "The Jin envoy has repeatedly proposed that we withdraw troops from Liaodong. This is a condition for them to maintain peace. If they cannot reach an agreement on this point, it will be difficult."

"Then you talk to them about the Sixteenth State of Yanyun. The land of Yanyun that we bought from them at a high price back then is returned to us. We can withdraw our troops from Liaodong. I believe that the deposit envoys have already paid a high price for it.

The negotiations between the two countries have all been rehearsed, and Ambassador Jin knew the bottom line for peace talks."

Zhao Ding said: "What if the Jin man is unwilling?"

"If you don't want to, just publicize it in the newspapers. The imperial court wants to negotiate peace, but the Jin people are not willing. If you continue to publicize it, let Wu Jie send troops from Taiyuan to attack Daizhou, let Li Gang send troops from Cangzhou to attack Hejian, and let Li Que and Zhang

Jun sent troops from Hebei to attack Zhending, and at the same time, asked Han Shizhong to send troops from Fuzhou to attack Liaoyang. Five-way Northern Expedition!"

Zhao Ding was shocked and asked: "At this time, the south is in chaos, and the northern front is going to go north?"

"No, just write it in the newspaper. We won't issue troop orders to the various armies."

Zhao Ding immediately understood that this was written for the Jin people.

Liaodong experienced drastic changes, and the Jin Army was undergoing internal redeployment.

If the Song Dynasty's Five-Road Northern Expedition was now underway, the Jin Kingdom would definitely be very wary before the redeployment of military forces was completed.

Especially Han Shizhong's army, like a sharp sword, posed a terrible threat to the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom.

"There must be big differences within the Jin Kingdom about Liaodong and the Song Dynasty. Let's take this step and then throw out the bait of opening up business." Zhao Ning's mind was spinning rapidly, "Either acquiesce that our army is in Liaodong, or

Return it to Yanyun and take away Fuzhou."

Zhao Ding added: "What if the Jin army chooses to go to full-scale war?"

Zhao Ning's eyes became sharper and his voice became firmer: "Then fight!"

He added: "Once the war starts and the contradictions are transferred to the outside, all the parties in the north will surely be united, and the court will be united again. The current peace faction will lose their reasons and will have to compromise and transform into the war faction.

"

Zhao Ding was shocked by Zhao Guanjia's clear thinking, and he continued to ask: "But the conflict in the south has not been resolved."

"At least half of it is solved!"

Zhao Ding was a little confused for a moment. At least half of it was solved?

Can fighting on the northern front solve half of the conflicts in the south?

How to explain this?

But the smart Zhao Ding realized it immediately. He couldn't help but high-five and shouted: "Yes!"

Various factions in the South have a very loud slogan: cease war and want peace.

And the Zhao Guan family just said that we should go and negotiate peace with the Jin envoy.

The deduction just now, including the outbreak of the Sixth War between Song and Jin, was based on the Song Dynasty's desire to negotiate peace with the Jin people.

The reason why a full-scale war broke out was because the Jin Renmin Congress agreed to negotiate peace conditions.

This silenced the mouths of those in the South who blindly wanted peace.

Zhao Ning continued: "There is one more thing that needs to be done by the Political Affairs Hall."

"Please give me your Majesty's orders!"

Zhao Ning said calmly: "With the decree, people's livelihood in the south is very difficult. I really can't bear it. I have decided to reduce the taxes in the south for ten years, the head tax, the chief's money, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes for ten years!"

"Your Majesty, this..." Zhao Ding was shocked, "The imperial court is now financially strapped..."

"Didn't I just say that we would implement the New Deal in the south?"

Zhao Ding took a deep breath.

this……

He suddenly came to his senses.

It turns out that Zhao Guan's family had long been prepared to reduce or reduce taxes in the south.

But he has been suppressing it and let those who are interested come forward and speak for themselves.

This is simply a top-notch conspiracy!

Zhao Ding's mind was also spinning rapidly.

Let's just say that the imperial court is now implementing the New Agricultural Policy. The people under the New Agricultural Policy rent the imperial land. In fact, there is no agricultural tax at all in the past. Instead, they pay rent and there is no poll tax.

Even after paying the money to the countryside, the people paid taxes directly with the money in their hands, without even having to waste money.

Since there is no so-called agricultural tax under the popularization of the New Agricultural Policy, what if the New Agricultural Policy is now being implemented in the South and the tax in the South is exempted?

In fact, the new agricultural policy is to turn taxes into rent, which is nominally exempt from taxes.

"Then..." Zhao Ding wanted to say that now that taxes are exempted, the new agricultural policy in the south will not be popularized in a short period of time, and rents will not be collected. The court will lose more than half of its income during this period.

But he understood it in a blink of an eye.

During the promotion of the New Agricultural Policy, families with more than 50 acres of land will have to pay 50% of their income, which is a huge amount of income.

In places where the New Agricultural Policy is being implemented in the north, landowners with more than 50 acres of land are forced to pay until they almost lose their property.

Wait, I said before that there is no tax in the south, and now I say that the new agricultural policy will be tax-free. Isn’t this contradictory?

At first Zhao Ding thought it was contradictory, but he soon realized it.

New policies can be rolled out separately. For example, Huaidong and Jiangdong are now rolling out the New Agricultural Policy, and all other places are tax-free. Are other places being appeased again?

And in wealthy places like Huaidong and Jiangdong, if the landlords are plundered, are they afraid that they won't be able to pay taxes?

In this way, the contradiction is compressed in Huaidong and Jiangdong, and will not have to face the entire south.

Wait until the situation at hand is stable before dealing with other aspects.

Zhao Ding thought carefully about it: negotiate with the Jin envoy, silence those who want to negotiate peace, reduce and reduce taxes in the south, and suddenly win all the people's hearts to the side of the imperial court.

The great righteousness was instantly in the hands of the imperial court. If Jiangdong and Huaidong were to be disturbed here, even if those who wanted to instigate it, they would be unable to do so.

The most frightening thing is that the local opposition parties know the court's purpose, but they are helpless.
