The young man in front of him was tall and strong, and he was refined in every move. His expression was even more calm and composed, which made people unconsciously pay attention to him. When his current appearance overlapped with the fourteen-year-old boy nine years ago, Jia Sidao saw that it was Zhao Jiaren's growth.

Recalling the past, Jia Sidao could not remember exactly what he had talked with Zhao Jiaren back then. What he could still clearly remember was that Zhao Jiaren believed that the southern invasion of Mongolia was inevitable and the Song Dynasty had to be prepared in time. When the war began, Zhao Jiaren made many outstanding achievements on the water. At that time, as Zhao Jiaren said, Jia Sidao listened very seriously and was openly open with Zhao Jiaren. Looking back on the past, Jia Sidao also felt quite moved. He had had glorious years of being able to tell the truth happily.

"Jia Ren, the current national government is in chaos. The key point is that the country has no money." Jia Sidao said generously.

Zhao Jiaren listened carefully. At this time, he wanted to know what Jia Sidao was thinking. Unconsciously, the roles of the two had undergone subtle changes. In the past, Zhao Jiaren tried his best to convince Jia Sidao, but now the person being persuaded is Zhao Jiaren.

The person involved did not notice this in particular. Jia Sidao asked Zhao Jiaren something at the beginning, "Do you still remember competing with Xia Gui's troops when you were in Haizhou?"

"Yes." Zhao Jiaren nodded. Although it was necessary to remind Jia Sidao before he could remember this, at least he had not yet reached the point of being unimpressed. At that time, Zhao Jiaren lost confidence and interest in the army of the Song Dynasty.

"The army in Jiangbei has become a vassal state. Whether it is Gundam or other armies, they are given a piece of land. The local tax revenue is controlled by the military head, and they are recruiting troops to support the soldiers. Some people say that I forced Liu Zheng to rebel, but before Liu Zheng rebelled, he was the prefect of Luzhou and the deputy envoy of Tongchuan Road appeasement. Luzhou tax revenue is not given to Sichuan Road or the court, but Liu Zheng is in charge. This is not the Song Dynasty, it is simply the Five Dynasties!" Jia Sidao was excited when he mentioned the military head. Later, Jia Sidao's voice was full of hatred.

From Gao to Liu Zheng, Jia Sidao told the history of military leaders in the Huaihe River, Sichuan and other places, which opened his eyes to Zhao Jiaren, who had no understanding of the Song army. It turned out that the real situation of the Song army was that the Lin'an court could no longer effectively control the army.

"In Ezhou... Hum!" Jia Sidao said it at the beginning and couldn't continue. The Battle of Ezhou was undoubtedly the highest peak that Jia Sidao has so far. However, Zhao Jiaren felt that many of the measures Jia Sidao took afterwards were all because the Battle of Ezhou left him a lot of deep stimulation.

"In Ezhou, Gundam and others did work hard. However, these people did not take the court seriously at all. As the right prime minister, I supervised the battle of Ezhou. They relied on the command of the army and humiliated me every day. Jiaren, the soldiers of these people were not imperial guards, but were recruited by them. They ate the money and food of the Song Dynasty, but humiliated the right prime minister of the court every day. What is the use of them?! What is the use of them!" When talking about the humiliation of Ezhou, Jia Sidao was really heartbroken.

Zhao Jiaren was very dissatisfied with the status of the Great Song Dynasty. New China has a powerful army, and every time it is critical, this army will appear where the people need it. After staying in the United States, Zhao Jiaren knew that the main responsibility of the US military, known in the world, was to suppress the possible "disrupting people" in times of disaster. Moreover, the police station and the National Guard played a similar role. Therefore, Zhao Jiaren really hoped to reverse the situation of the Great Song army. If the Song army is like the People's Liberation Army, the Song Dynasty would definitely not be facing the disaster of the national destruction.

However, this does not mean that Zhao Jiaren hopes to see the Song army become more powerful. Even though he is still very dissatisfied with the fact that Jia Sidao killed Xiang Shibi, Zhao Jiaren still reluctantly accepted Jia Sidao's point of view.

After venting his dissatisfaction with the military leaders, Jia Sidao seemed to be relieved. He said quietly: "But only in times of crisis can the pillars of the country be seen. In Ezhou, only Lu Wende dares to scold those who are rude to the right prime minister. The Lu family has been loyal and kind for generations. Lu Wende guards Fancheng in Xiangyang, which can ensure peace in the Song Dynasty."

So that's it! Zhao Jiaren nodded secretly. In history, Jia Sidao valued Lu Wende very much, and Lu Wende performed very well in the battle of Xiangyang. Although he was not killed in battle, he died of illness in Xiangyang, which was considered a horse-haired body.

After sorting out these contents clearly, Zhao Jiaren figured out Jia Sidao's "later plan". Indeed, with Jia Sidao's position and ability, he probably had to arrange this.

After Jia Sidao finished his reasons, he naturally had to propose a solution, "The court was short of money and food at this time. Issuing Jiaozi requires reserve money. In recent years, he was exploited by military leaders at home. Where can there be copper coins available now? As a royal family, Jiaren is such a person, but he is still a difficult person to stand by and watch in the face of the national crisis?"

Zhao Jiaren did not want to turn a blind eye to the national crisis. In his previous life, he was killed by the rebellious Pu Shougeng just because he was unable to solve the national crisis. Now that Pu Shougeng is awarded the title of head, Mongolia is still there. Zhao Jiaren thought for a moment and said straightforwardly: "I want to be the governor of Fuzhou."

This was equivalent to agreeing to Jia Sidao's request for the sale of cotton cloth. Jia Sidao immediately showed joy. He knew that Zhao Jiaren's shipping business could indeed have huge profits, but he had to fight for his life. Jia Sidao did not want to share Zhao Jiaren's property, let alone even if Zhao Jiaren was taken away, it would not mean that Jia Sidao could get money from Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse. To put it bluntly, the biggest function of Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse is to support the Zhao clan, and it was not his turn to Jia Sidao to issue orders in Quanzhou.

However, Jia Sidao, such a shrewd person, did not agree immediately. Zhao Jiaren probably wouldn't simply use a Fuzhou magistrate to exchange for hundreds of thousands of yuan in profits every year. Sure enough, Zhao Jiaren continued: "Mr. Jia, do you think that poor people and even middle-aged people can afford silk?"

"I can't afford it." Jia Sidao replied decisively.

"If the cotton cloth is in the official business, the price will be the same as silk, right?" Zhao Jiaren continued.

Jia Sidao nodded slightly, and officials of the Song Dynasty would not be confused about the market price. Zhao Jiaren's reminder seemed quite a pediatrician in Jia Sidao's opinion. He replied readily: "Since it is an official business, you naturally have to sell it to make money. If you don't even know this, then the government will just put silk official business on it. Jiaren doesn't have to worry, I don't make too much every year, just one million guan of copper coins."

As the saying goes, Jia Sidao has to make money from a hundred monuments every year when he speaks. It's pitiful to say that this money is only money that can support 40,000 imperial guards. If it is to support Lv Wende's troops, it will be 60,000 to 70,000 people. Zhao Jiaren now only earns money from sea transportation, and now he has to have more than one million a year. As for the output on the island, it is even more.

Of course, Zhao Jiaren would not be stupid enough to say this. He gave himself another request, "Then let me rent the land in Jiading Prefecture to grow cotton, and sell the cloth woven to the government. Every year, including the general-purpose money paid for renting land, and the difference in selling cloth and bedding, so that the court can earn a million yuan."
