"Where is there so much sugar cane?" Qin Hui asked again.

Sugar cane was also a luxury product in the Song Dynasty, and it was not affordable for ordinary people.

Use it to make sugar?

Zhao Guanjia really dares to think!

"I heard that many businessmen on Guangnan East Road are expanding sugar cane planting estates, and many people have immigrated to Liuqiu Island and started to plant sugar cane in enclosures." Qian Gai said, "These are all managed by Qian Yuqing.

The Ministry of Finance has seen some of it, but I don’t know the details.”

Qin Hui knew that Qian Gai actually knew it very well.

What is Qian Gai’s identity?

Minister of Household Affairs!

In charge of the branch and national fiscal and tax revenue.

Qian Yuqing is in charge of all income from the sea. When making strategic arrangements, he must check with the Ministry of Revenue.

Qian Gai obviously didn't want to say more.

Qin Hui felt that during the year he stayed in Goryeo, the capital had undergone great changes.

These things are all about power.

Power does not appear out of thin air, it must accompany everything that happens.

The more affairs Qian Yuqing is now in charge of, the heavier his authority will be, and more and more people will be attached to him, forming a new line of power in the Song Dynasty.

In this way, the fifth prince Zhao Chun will have greater support in the future.

This is Qin Hui's perspective on things.

Han Shizhong was much simpler than Qin Hui. He only focused on how to defend Liaodong. He said: "Your Majesty is really far-sighted and has already considered these things."

"Han Duhu, a batch of these candies will arrive within three months."

"It's time to work."

"It doesn't matter. Now everyone in the imperial court attaches great importance to the situation in Liaodong."

This is to remind him, Han Shizhong, that countless pairs of eyes are staring at you. Although you have a lot of authority in this position, you are still in a high position. If you have any problems, there will be countless people behind you who want to pull you down and force their people over.

.

Han Shuai, take good control of yourself!

With the full support of Zhao Guan's family, Han Shizhong felt much less pressure in his heart.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the Kingdom of Jin went to Beijing.

The young Wanyan Quan summoned his ministers to discuss state affairs.

"I am still young enough to carry on my great cause. However, there are many difficulties and diseases in the country, the rise of the Song Dynasty, and troubles on the border. Fortunately, I have the great efforts of all the ministers."

Everyone said: "Your Majesty is wise, I am just doing my duty as a minister."

Although Wanyan Dan's face is childish, his eyes already sparkle with intelligence. He is an unusual young man.

His eyes fell on Wei Wang Wanyan Wushu and said: "Wei Wang, you make the arrangements."

"yes."

Wu Shu stood up and said: "As military strategists say, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. First of all, we must admit the fact that the Song State now is no longer the Song State eight years ago. The strength of the Song Army has greatly increased, but this is just an appearance.

"

Everyone looked at this young upstart of the Jin Kingdom. Zong Han was defeated and Zong Wang died of illness. Wu Shu went south to rescue him and took the opportunity to seize the military power.

He killed Zong Pan and adopted a soft policy towards all forces in the Jin Kingdom.

He even ostensibly asked Wanyan Quan to pardon Zong Han for his defeat.

This undoubtedly alleviated the biggest domestic conflict in the Jin Kingdom.

Now, Wushu combines military power, administrative power and financial power.

Wanyan Dan was nominally the emperor, but in fact Wu Shu had become the ruler of the Jin court.

Wu Shu continued: "If the Song Army can defeat us once or twice, it can be said to be luck, or it can be said that we have performed regularly, but in recent years, the Song Army has won quite frequently, and it is not just as simple as the Song Army's own strength.

"

Wu Shu said without changing his expression and his heart not beating.

Talking about the third battle between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, Jin Wushu led his elite troops all the way south with overwhelming momentum, and reached the gates of Tokyo in one breath. How high-spirited he was.

Later, Zhao Guan's family set up an ambush below Tokyo City and retreated north in embarrassment.

Let's talk about the Fourth Battle of Song and Jin Dynasties. He led an army of 100,000 to the east and arrived in Xuzhou.

The original plan was to penetrate Xuzhou in the Song Dynasty and then go straight into the Huaihe River.

Unexpectedly, he was so beaten by Yue Fei that he collapsed.

Logically speaking, Wu Shu had no shame in summarizing this, after all, he himself had been defeated twice.

But who caused the Jin Kingdom to lose more and more generals in these years?

Not only Wanyan Salihe, who was able to fight, was beaten to tears many times, but even a general like Yin Shuke, who was a little god of war, was defeated. In the end, Zong Han also suffered a huge rout.

It's worse than bad, I'm still very good at Wushu!

Zong Qian asked: "What does King Wei mean that Song is stronger in other aspects?"

"That's right! One or two wars can be won by the general's personal ability, but without the support of a strong military and political system behind it, it is impossible to support the Song Army's multi-front operations. You know, the Song State is not only fighting with us

, and also fought against Xixia and defeated Xixia several times! If it were all a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence!"

Wu Shu's words were indeed very objective, and he no longer looked down upon the Song Dynasty as he did in the past.

To be honest, the Jin Army has lost several wars in the past few years that they could have avoided losing.

The biggest reason for their defeat was their contempt for the Song Army.

This contempt was based on the great war successes achieved in the Song Dynasty in the first and second years of Jingkang.

The scene in which thousands of troops defeated hundreds of thousands of Song troops as soon as you sent out troops was repeated in the first and second years of Jingkang.

The three most capable generals of the Song Dynasty were all killed by the Jin people without any effort.

This sense of accomplishment would be inflated for anyone.

Everyone has to pay the price for their arrogance until they recognize the reality.

There is still hope if we can recognize the reality clearly. Many people would rather indulge in the illusory pleasure brought by arrogance.

"Then what supported the Song Dynasty's strong military and political power?" Wanyan Quan asked.

Wu Shu said: "This is the new policy of Zhao Guan's family."

As soon as he said this, everyone present fell silent.

This is something many people don't want to mention.

"I remember that Zhao Guanjia wrote an article "On the Early Stage of the War between Song and Jin Dynasties" seven years ago. We all know this article. Zhao Guanjia pointed out that the War between Song and Jin Dynasties will enter a protracted stage and we will not be able to annex the Song Dynasty."

Bringing up the old story of Wushu again, when this article was mentioned in the past, there would be a lot of ridicule, but now there is no ridicule.

Some of them were filled with shock.

Because in the past few years, the situation has been developing as predicted by Zhao Ning.

This is really terrible, this is a heart-breaking theory!

"At first, we laughed at Zhao Guanjia's remarks and ridiculed Zhao Guanjia's New Deal. Now, we have paid the price for it. Next, we must face up to Zhao Guanjia's New Deal and learn from our enemies."

"King Wei, you said we should learn from our enemies, do you want to copy the system of Song Dynasty?" Zong Qian asked.
