In a small meeting held by Zhao Jiaren's family, the Zhao Guan's family was of course the main seat facing south and north. The right hand of the square table was on the west side, and the chief of staff of the Ministry of War was sitting on the east side. The left hand was on the east side, and the minister of the Ministry of Revenue was Sun Qing, and the leader was the Minister of Agriculture.

The Song Dynasty continued the traditional Chinese rules and did not kneel down or worship. Everyone sat down and started to discuss. After listening to the brief introduction, General Staff Zheng Jie didn't say anything. Just now, the Minister of Agriculture felt that he wanted to send troops, and Chief Zheng Jie felt that this was a small border riot, and it was still a long way from the war between the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.

Sun Qing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, thought quickly. If he chose such a fierce method of war, he would come to Zhao Guanjia to speak at the morning meeting the next day. The reason why he asked everyone to hold a small meeting was definitely not a war. Diplomacy matters must be managed by the Ministry of Rites, and there is obviously no sign of asking the Ministry of Rites to attend the meeting.

After thinking about it, Sun Qing thought of a possibility and tried to ask: "Does the official family want to provide disaster relief north of the Yellow River?"

Of course, Zhao Jiaren knew that his subordinates were all human elites. Now he was even more sure that his subordinates were indeed human elites. If he had a little confused and thought a little more, he would not have made such a judgment. Only logical judgments without personal emotions can deduce Zhao Jiaren's ideas.

"I did think of giving some relief. But the purpose is not to provide disaster relief, but to win over the people. After all, there are many Han people in Hebei, and few Mongolians, and even Han people are affected by local disasters. But I thought about it for a while and felt that this might be a bit too natural. The Han people in Hebei probably don't think they are from the same country as us now." Zhao Jiaren replied.

The last few sentences on this topic are a little heavy. For Zhao Jiaren, of course, he felt that Hebei and other places were all China, because in the process of his worldview, the rooster-shaped pattern was the shape of China. After he grew up, although he believed that Mongolia and other places should also belong to China, those were the subsequent ideas. The depth of the basic Chinese map was completely different.

Zhao Jiaren is like this, and so is the people of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty in the impressions of the three Song people in front of him did not include north of the Yellow River, or even Shandong. The Song Dynasty has lost north of the Yellow River for more than a hundred years. Although it is said that it is restoring its hometown, there is no way for everyone to regard Hebei as a country.

So everyone was temporarily in silence. In addition to their own discomfort, it was also reality. The Song Dynasty carried out a major purge in the process of regaining Shandong. At that time, many people criticized the cruelty of the purge. Only those who were determined to be Han people could survive. The Song Dynasty did not think that it had any need to be tolerant of non-Han people.

"Official family, it is better not to have any trouble in this place in Shandong. If the official family thinks this way, maybe they can provide some relief." Sun Qing said slowly.

"Why?" asked the Minister of Agriculture in surprise.

"Shandong is quite chaotic. The officials said that the Han people in Hebei don't think they are from the same country as our Song Dynasty. In fact, Shandong also has this meaning. If there is no relief, some bandits in Hebei will rob Shandong, and maybe Shandong will be in chaos." Sun Qing explained.

Zheng Jie's face was not so good. He made contributions when he regained Shandong. He was also criticized for being too vicious. However, a few years later, officials who have worked in Shandong publicly stated that this cruel purge seemed to be not thorough enough. There are still many people in Shandong who have a better relationship with Mongolia than their feelings for the Song Dynasty and their identification with the Han people. However, under the complete purge of the Song Dynasty, these people were so scared that they dared not fight publicly. As for the words, there was a turmoil, and these people thought that maybe the Yuan Dynasty had been fought back. As long as there was any conflict with the new government in the Song Dynasty, some people would yell, "It's better to fight back from the Yuan Dynasty."

The personnel who can be sent to Shandong have a considerable degree of patriotism, and they can't stand it. Many people have asked the Zhao official family to order a new round of cleaning in Shandong to clean up these spiritual Mongolians.

Afterwards, the Zhao Guan family's reaction made Zheng Jie feel that the Zhao Guan family is actually a very compassionate person. Since there are only a few yelling, the Zhao Guan family decided to focus on education. As long as these people are not really causing trouble, don't worry too much for now.

As for Zheng Jie's personal opinion, he was the same as the radicals, who believed that it would be better to kill such a group of people. This would be the best way to solve the problem once and for all. So after thinking about it, Zheng Jie couldn't help but say, "Officials, why not let those people rag in Shandong? After they kill local people and loot local people's things, we will send troops to bring the bandits to justice. At that time, will the local people know who is better for them?"

Zhao Jiaren waved his hand hard, "I don't think anyone in this world is really stupid. No one knows this now, and there will be no news leaked in the future. When the people know this, what will they think? The so-called justice is in the hearts of people. If we don't put the life and death of the people in our hearts, how can we make the people feel that we are our own people?"

Whether justice is in the hearts of the people is still possible. Officials must keep the words of Zhao Guan Family in their hearts. This is a must. When Zhao Guan Family discusses issues with such high moral ethics, everyone can only be silent for the time being.

Zhao Jiaren didn't ask these guys to make such a decision. He continued his initial idea, "Do you think it's better to set up a porridge shed in Hebei or a porridge shed in the south of the Yellow River."

"Is it really necessary to set up a porridge shed?" said the Minister of Grain Department in surprise, and then he understood a little why he was called over. If he wanted to provide relief to the north of the Yellow River, it would be that the Ministry of Grain Department took action.

"Yes. The so-called disaster relief requires a porridge shed. Otherwise, how is it called disaster relief?" Zhao Jiaren replied.

This is how disaster relief in this era. Officials or private disaster relief is to build porridge sheds at gathering sites where people move. Disasters can eat here until the disaster is over and can return home.

Sun Qing did not question. He could now connect Zhao Jiaren's ideas. Zhao Jiaren did not want the victims north of the Yellow River to run south of the Yellow River to cause disaster, so it is the most cost-effective to keep them north of the Yellow River. However, the Zhao Guan family is not the kind of person who gives benefits for nothing. For him, giving benefits must be rewarded. If he only gained the idea that those people in Hebei thought that the Song Dynasty was easy to bully, the Zhao Guan family would not accept it at all. This is what the Zhao Guan family said before, "take it for granted."

Thinking of this, Sun Qing spoke, "Officials, I think it's better to adapt Chief Zheng's idea. We told the people south of the Yellow River that because of the locust plague north of the Yellow River, some people north of the Yellow River will probably want to plunder the south of the Yellow River. So if they have any news, let us know as soon as possible."

After hearing this adaptation, although Zheng Jie knew that this was not his original intention, he still nodded and expressed his willingness to support this idea. After all, the Zhao Guan family is not a fool. If the Zhao Guan family sees Zheng Jie's original intention, it would be a very bad problem.

"It's still not enough to be kind and powerful." Zhao Jiaren said. This method only satisfies some expectations. Zhao Jiaren still hopes that when the Song army heads north, the Hebei elders will not welcome the king's army without sending food and water, and will not be forced to fight to the death in every village. The Song army was not the Japanese invaders of China in the 20th century, and there is no reason to carry out a complete sweep of the entire Hebei.

So the house was temporarily silent. The human heart was the most difficult object to grasp, because everyone's position was very different, and the same thing could be said to be completely different in everyone's reaction. Moreover, the situation in Hebei and other places was completely different from the characteristics considered before the Song Dynasty.

The Zhao Guanjia is a person who likes to summarize. He has analyzed several Northern Expeditions carried out by the Song Dynasty. After the Battle of Ezhou, the Northern Expedition led by Jia Sidao was the closest to the present. The Zhao Guanjia sent troops to participate at that time. From these Northern Expeditions, everyone found that the more north the local Han people were considering the problem, the different the model of the problems they considered were from the Song Dynasty.

In the quiet house, Zhao Jiaren suddenly heard some small movement outside. He looked up and saw that outside the curtain, Zhao Jiaren's son and daughter were eavesdropping on the adults' speeches. Zhao Jiaren did not scold him, but pretended not to see it. Although Zhao Jiaren still had the republican idea of ​​the 21st century, he had to compromise with the reality of the 13th century. Close the door, the Tian family asked their children to do housework and pay pocket money according to the amount of labor. That was the private matter of the Tian family. Open the door, the Tian family was the Tian family. If Zhao Jiaren had no son, that would be fine. As long as he had a son, Zhao Jiaren's son would inevitably become the official of the Song Dynasty. Unless Zhao Jiaren could overthrow the imperial system, this was an irresistible reality.

Since things have reached this point, Zhao Jiaren hopes that his children can receive a better education. The children don’t know what adults are discussing now, but they must get used to this kind of discussion. Because this is their future life.

I don’t know if the other people didn’t see it, or if they saw it, they had to keep the same consistency with the Zhao Guan family, so the children stood outside and no one paid attention to them.

The children were just children, and no one paid attention to them, they became anxious. Zhao Jiaren saw his daughter secretly wave to him along the curtain. He didn't know if there was anything that could not be held back.

Zhao Jiaren ignored Zhao Min. He could not indulge her at this time. Even if he wanted to discuss the government affairs, there was no chance for Zhao Min to speak now.

At this time, Sun Qing said, "Official family, I think Mongolia may not provide disaster relief. What do you think?"

"It's hard to say. Mongolia has had disaster relief before." Zhao Jiaren replied, "But this disaster relief is probably not too large. If they had really provided large-scale disaster relief, they should have delivered the food for the disaster relief."

"If this is the case, we will take this opportunity to expedition the Northern Expedition, which seems to be impossible." Zheng Jie said.

This made everyone smile bitterly. The situation of war is far simpler than expected. Without food, there is no way to fight. After the disaster in Mongolia, everyone could not pass through the hungry areas.

"It's better to resist those guys who are taking risks first. Other things depend on the situation." Sun Qing said.

As things turned out, Zhao Jiaren could only express his agreement. So the meeting ended.
Chapter completed!
