On October 14th, the last leaves beside Tokyo Castle drifted away in the cold wind.

Although it is cold, the streets are still crowded.

In recent years, Tokyo's business has become more and more prosperous.

Not only has the quantity of goods increased, but the boats at the Bianhe River ferry have also changed.

At the ferry of the Bian River, a handsomely dressed young man stepped off the boat.

Qian Wu walked over quickly and shouted: "Official, official!"

Qian Yuqing followed the reputation and waved his hand.

Not long after, Qian Yuqing got on the carriage going back.

"Qian Wu, how is everything in the capital?"

"Everything is fine, but Mrs. Qin keeps bringing gifts."

"Mrs. Qin?"

"She is the wife of Mr. Qin."

"What does she want to do?"

"Nothing, just giving gifts."

Qian Yuqing didn't ask further. It was actually very difficult to refuse a gift. Others didn't ask for anything, and even if they refused once, they would come back a second time, and then a third time.

Qian Yuqing just lamented that Qin Hui suffered a loss in converting rice into mulberry, but he had made contributions in converting rice into mulberry. Qin Hui held a grudge in his heart.

However, Wang often sends gifts, which is really worrying.

"Is there anything else important in the capital?"

Qian Wu thought for a while and said, "It's true. Yesterday, the bank launched a kind of silver certificate, with a starting price of 10 pieces. The wealthy people in Tokyo heard about it and left. In the afternoon, there was a long queue in front of the bank."

"Silver certificate?" Qian Yuqing was a little surprised, "What is that for?"

"I heard that for at least five years, the bank will give you a certificate, and the interest will be 1/100 per year."

"so tall!"

"That's why many people are rushing to buy it. I heard from inside the bank that banks in Sijing may sell it." Qian Wu muttered, "Who came up with this? I don't know what the bank will give out in five years.

?”

"What to take?" Qian Yuqing smiled bitterly, "Take my Shibo Division. Your Majesty summoned me back, and it must be about the treasury."

"By the way, there is another thing, which was also issued yesterday."

"What's up?"

"The imperial court is preparing to build a new city, and now many places outside the city are preparing to start selling land."

"Has the new policy in Fucheng finally begun?"

"I heard that the moat will become an inland river in the future."

Qian Yuqing returned home, changed into official uniform, and hurried to the palace.

"The official family, Qian Shangshu asks for an audience."

"Xuan."

Qian Yuqing walked in quickly: "I see your majesty and wish you holy peace."

"Excuse me, let me see you. You are fat again. It seems that the food in Hangzhou is to your liking!"

"It made His Majesty laugh."

"I have read the report on converting rice into mulberry in Hangzhou. You have done a very good job. If this continues, there will be great potential in Zhejiang, Jiangdong, and even Jinghu and Jiangxi in the future."

"As long as the people see that converting rice to mulberry is really profitable, and the people have surplus food, without the intervention of businessmen, some people will spontaneously start planting."

"I'm calling you back this time because I have something more important for you to do."

"Your Majesty, please make it clear."

"I want you to join the Privy Council of the Government Hall."

"As an official of the Municipal Shipping Department, I am originally affiliated with the Dongfu..."

"No, I want you to be the leader."

Qian Yuqing was taken aback and immediately said: "How dare I have such delusional thoughts? Please take your Majesty's orders back."

Zhao Ning picked up the good news on the table and handed it to Qian Yuqing: "Read it first."

Qian Yuqing took it and opened it and read it quickly. He was surprised and said: "This is good news for Dongsheng Prefecture. Our army defeated the Jin army in Dongsheng Prefecture."

"That's right, Dongsheng Prefecture is to the north of Fuzhou and to the south of Henan Province. It is a must-go place for plotting Yinshan."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Don't congratulate me yet." Zhao Ning sighed, "Have you heard about the silver certificate and the new policy in Fucheng?"

"As soon as I arrived in Tokyo, I heard someone tell me." Qian Yuqing didn't hide it.

"Do you know why?"

"Your Majesty is short of money for the war?"

"It's good that you know." Zhao Ning walked to the map and said, "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Yangtze River belonged to the Chu barbarians. Why has it become the Huaxia today?"

"Because the people there now wear fine clothes and respect etiquette, they are called Huaxia."

"Then how did they become Huaxia step by step?"

"It's a matter of enfeoffment or migration in the past dynasties."

"That place became China, and it has been China ever since. Even if it is divided, it will be reunited." Zhao Ning said, "Back then, the Han general Wei Qing took over Henan, and Emperor Xiaowu built Shuofang City here, and moved 100,000 people from the interior.

People arrived here to fight against the Xiongnu, but since the Tang Dynasty, why did the area fall again and no more Han people were seen?"

"It was the Liao Kingdom that occupied the place and moved people there. It's not that there are no Han people there, it's just that the population is sparse."

"how so?"

Qian Yuqing remained silent.

"Because the nomadic barbarians of the past dynasties are like weeds, wildfires will never burn them out, and they will grow again when the spring breeze blows." Zhao Ning looked at the map, his eyes full of sharpness, "China has never completely conquered the grasslands, causing the barbarians to start again and again. Once there is civil strife in the Central Plains, they will

We took the opportunity to seize the frontier fortress."

"Then Your Majesty..."

"I'll ask you another question."

"Your Majesty, please make it clear."

"Why did the Huns suddenly become stronger in the Han Dynasty?" Zhao Ning asked, "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Huns fought against Zhao at the border and did not gain the upper hand. Could it be because Zhao was stronger than the Han who had just emerged from the war?

Does North Korea still want to be strong?"

Qian Yuqing couldn't answer this question. He said: "I am stupid."

"If you look through the history books, you will find that the reason why the Xiongnu was strong was because the various tribes were united together. During the Warring States Period, the Xiongnu was divided and had no strength to compete with the powerful countries in the Central Plains. So why did the Xiongnu start to unite in the Han Dynasty?

"

"I...are stupid."

"To be precise, it was the Qin Dynasty that began to unite, because Qin Shihuang began to build the Great Wall, which made the Huns realize the seriousness of the problem. The Great Wall greatly hindered the Huns from going south. The Huns found that if they did not unite, everyone would starve to death.

So they united and showed great strength."

"Your Majesty's mind and vision are like the stars and the sea, which I cannot match."

"Similarly, the strength displayed by the Song Dynasty is being seen by the Jin Kingdom, Xixia, and even the grasslands. When they find that the Central Plains Dynasty has become as powerful as the Han and Tang Dynasties, what will they do?"

Qian Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Unite?"

"That's right." Zhao Ning looked at the map and turned his back to Qian Yuqing.

At this time, Qian Yuqing only felt that the man in front of him was really terrifying.

Everyone is still thinking about how to resist Jin and how to restrain Xixia, but Zhao Guan's family is already thinking about the future.

And he thinks so deeply.

"Have you read Dialectics?"

"Read."

"Then you should understand what I mean. The method adopted by the court now is to win over the grassland, block the main roads between the Jin Kingdom and Xixia, and prepare for the destruction of Xia. But in the future, once the grassland and the Jin Kingdom both feel the unprecedented power of the Song Dynasty,
