In the war against Goryeo, Kaijing was also defeated, and the deterrent power of the Chinese Empire was also demonstrated to all directions.

In ancient times, usually at this point, it was basically over, and no benefit would be gained by continuing the fight.

This is also the fundamental reason why the two factions in the court have different opinions.

Wang Zongliu continued to reply: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops in Shaanxi, how dare the Western thieves come here!"

Cai Mao said: "If the Western Thief really makes trouble, how will the Golden Thief react?"

Wang Zongmiao was annoyed and stopped talking.

However, King Kang said: "This matter of Goryeo is not simple. It is obviously the gold thieves who are instigating it behind the scenes. If the imperial court withdraws its troops, Goryeo will surely come back, send troops to restore the state, and continue to disrupt the military town of Fuzhou."

Zhao Gou looked calm and his tone was calm, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.

"The recapture of Fuzhou was the purpose of the Jin State, and Goryeo's behavior was also the instigation of the Jin State." Zhao Gou continued, "Withdrawing troops means leaving Fuzhou's back to the Goryeo people."

"That's right!" Wang Zonglio also quickly said, "You can't take a step back now!"

Cai Mao had nothing to say.

The political hall is still noisy, but there is no result.

However, the Su Provincial Government Office acted quickly and immediately sent people to Qingzhou to investigate.

At this time, Qian Yuqing arrived at Wende Hall.

"I see your Majesty, long live!"

Zhao Ning was very excited to see Qian Yuqing again. He came over, grabbed Qian Yuqing, and said excitedly: "You are finally back."

"Your Majesty, I have not captured the king of Champa. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a lost dog." Zhao Ning looked at the person in front of him, "You have lost weight and are tanned."

"It is my honor to do all the hard work for His Majesty."

"It's been really hard on you these past two years." Zhao Ning said quite affectionately, wondering which little girl he thought he was deceiving. "Come and sit down, sit down and talk to me in detail."

Qian Yuqing sat in front of the official desk of Zhao Guan's office. He was also very excited because he did have a lot to say to Zhao Guan's family.

The trip to the South China Sea in the past two years was not just as simple as attacking Champa, Qian Yuqing went to many places.

"I want to know the details of Champa first. You can talk to me about it."

In fact, the relationship with Champa was quite close before the Song Dynasty, and many people in the Song Dynasty were aware of the existence of Champa.

In the tribute trade system, Champa traded with the Song Dynasty many times.

There are even official written records of Champa.

But, that's too limiting.

Qian Yuqing, who has been wandering around the South China Sea for two years, has a more comprehensive understanding of the South China Sea.

Qian Yu cleared his mind and said: "Your Majesty, this place in Champa adheres to the teachings of the Tianzhu people, and the people in the country are gentle."

"Because it is close to the sea, I also like business."

"It not only has contacts with the Celestial Empire, but also has contacts with Srivijaya, Jampo (Sumatra, Java, Indonesia), Bo Ni, and Chenla further south, and the trade is extremely rich."

"Champa is like summer all year round. Rice grows three times a year. There are abundant fruits even in winter. The locals are good at brewing various fruit wines, which are delicious and sweet."

"Although there are no mules or horses in Champa, there are quite a lot of cattle."

"There are also countless commodities such as iron, coral, agate, frankincense, etc. The richness of the products is shocking."

Zhao Ning asked: "Where is the limit of food?"

"At least 100 million acres of fertile land can be cultivated in Champa City. The output of each acre of land is twice that of the Central Plains, with an output of 4 shi." Qian Yuqing, a small profiteer, began to settle accounts with Zhao Ning, a big profiteer. "The Celestial Empire needs to relocate some of its population.

Go to Champa, plant 100 million acres of land, and maintain the operation of other industries. The total population must be at least three million."

"Assuming that one person consumes two kilograms of grain a day, the food consumed in Champa City in a year is 1.1 billion kilograms. Taking into account losses, it is conservatively estimated that 2.2 billion grain supplies are needed."

"And 100 million acres of land can produce 400 million shi of grain, which is 48 billion kilograms of grain."

"If Champa can maintain a strong food supply and increase it to 5 billion kilograms of food for 3 million people every year, there will still be 43 billion kilograms of grain that can be transported to China."

After Qian Yuqing settled the account, Zhao Ning couldn't help but take a deep breath and became excited.

Qian Yuqing added: "Of course, the actual situation is too unpredictable, so I just stick to the budget on paper."

"It doesn't matter, your theory comes from practice, and theory can guide practice." Zhao Ningyan said concisely and comprehensively.

"I don't want 43 billion catties of grain. It would be great if we could transport 10 billion catties of grain every year."

After all, it is impossible to transport all the food from Champa, and nearly one-fifth is used exclusively for the inland. Is this no problem?

This undoubtedly makes Zhao Ning more confident in the national policy of converting rice to mulberry in the southeast, and will have a stabilizing effect on the court's subsequent series of over-issuance of currency for infrastructure construction.

This does not include the development of the Red River Plain.

"As for commodities such as frankincense and fruit wine, plus grain, I made some calculations and divided half of it for private trading companies to operate. The court can still earn 15 million yuan. This is not counting taxes. It is the profit of the Nanhai state-owned trading company."

Yu Qing said, "But the premise is that all the money in Champa City will be accepted by the Song Dynasty."

"In addition, according to your Majesty's instructions, I sent people to Liuqiu Island."

"how?"

Qian Yuqing said: "A lot of bird droppings were indeed found on the island, which can be used as fertilizer for crops."

"So have you started taking action?"

"I have already started taking action. The Nanhai Trading Company's cargo ship has docked in Liuqiu. Soon a lot of guano will be transported to Hangzhou."

"In addition, there is Lusu Island. I also sent people there. There are many Yi people planting sugar cane there. Soon, the sugar cane there will appear in Tokyo."

"No, the sugar cane there must be given priority to the state-owned sugar trading companies, and sales to the private sector will not be allowed for the time being."

"Your Majesty means..."

"Now the military is in more urgent need of sugar than the civilian population."

Qian Yuqing was shocked. The Zhao family actually wanted to provide a large amount of sugar to the army?

You know, items like sugar can be considered very valuable items.

Especially in Suzhou and Hangzhou in the southeast, people are proud to eat sweets.

Because the price of sugar is high, the sweeter someone eats, the richer they will naturally be.

This stuff has never been provided to the army in previous dynasties.

Qian Yuqing didn't ask any more questions. He added: "The people of Sanfoqi have frequent contacts with the great cannibals. I sent someone to ask the great cannibals. The great cannibals are very fond of the silk, ceramics and textiles of the Celestial Dynasty."

, it is said that in the far west, there are still many people, big cannibals, who bought goods from the Song Dynasty in the South China Sea, and then brought them back and sold them at high prices. If the imperial court can recruit a group of big cannibals to serve your majesty, we will do our best for overseas trade.

It will get bigger and bigger.”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes, I will make arrangements when I go back."

"Is there enough supply for sea ships?"
