In the fifth year of Jingde, if we follow another time and space, the Song Dynasty became the year of Dazhong Xiangfu. There are several reasons: the alliance under the city made Zhao Heng unhappy and his illness worsened, and the years were relatively good this year.

This year is really good, and there are almost no major disasters in the country.

Natural disasters and wars have always been the most troublesome thing for feudal rulers.

In the year without natural disasters, the pressure will be greatly reduced. After more than three years of rest and rest, the Song Dynasty's financial abundance this year was unimaginable. Therefore, when autumn came, Zhao Heng made an exception and issued an edict to exempt the autumn taxes of Sichuan Fourth Road, Jinghu South Road, Hebei Road, and Shaanxi Road. It may be better next year, because after several years of rest, Yunzhong and Youzhou Road can try to impose some slight taxes. Then the two northern roads can at least ensure that there is no need to overdraw the national finance.

At this time, Song Jiu's memorial arrived in the capital.

First, he explained the reasons for using troops to Goryeo. The name of the Nanlaifeng Plan was Zhao Kuangyi, and the name of the attack on Liao was Zhao Heng. However, no one in the court knew about the battle to destroy Goryeo. Song Jiu mobilized nearly 80,000 Youzhou Road station troops, tens of thousands of township soldiers, some coalition forces of various ethnic groups, and a large number of people, and requisitioned many ships.

So it must be explained clearly.

Then Song Jiu said again, the border must have moderate military power and choose the situation.

If the generals and officials in the border areas do not give the power to use military force, as the territory is far away, the consequences will be worse when the court decides. However, it must be concluded based on the situation. For example, the use of Geshuhan and Gao Xianzhi and the use of An Lushan, one is to use the enemy to support the troops, and the other is to use the real troops, and the situation is completely different.

In fact, this is still Song Jiu's argument.

Just like killing people, the criminals come to harm themselves. Should they not resist when they have the ability to resist, but call the police and wait for the police to let the murderer hurt themselves in the future? Then it is also possible to fight back and kill people in self-defense. But killing people for the sake of killing is a guilty.

To be more popular, it is what the people call justice.

However, this is difficult. What is the meaning of being upheld? Who can explain it clearly?

Therefore, Song Jiu can still not be called a great politician. Most of the things may have been done correctly, but he has never left behind a clear ruling idea.

In fact, Zhao Heng really doesn't care. As Wang Dan said, his biggest worry is failure. It is ultimately a country, and now the most powerful force in the Northeast. If it fails, the situation in the Northeast will deteriorate completely. Therefore, Wang Dan said that victory will be successful and failure will be successful.

But the victory is over. The matter is over. Everyone is concerned about another thing...

Then Song Jiu talked about money again.

A lot of manpower and material resources were used for this battle, but after arriving in Goryeo, the Song army began to gain something. Even in the end, it was mostly Jin Zhiyang who brought Goryeo soldiers to suppress the opposition, and the Song army just followed behind. Then when snatching the goods, it was more active than anyone else, which led to Jin Zhiyang taking the initiative to urge the Song army to retreat, and I don’t want your country’s army to help.

This saved a lot of money and expenses, but because the troops and horses used in the past were huge in scale, the subsequent imperial court still had to allocate several million yuan for rewards and comfort.

No one has any objection to this. This victory only allocated a few million yuan of expenditures, which is really nothing.

Next, Song Jiu talked about the various ideas for the future construction of Northeast China. Goryeo destroyed the country, and Silla was still a scattered sand. Jin Zhiyang wanted to pacify Xinsilla, but it would be impossible without a year or two. If you want to recover, it would take at least five or six years. On the surface, there was almost no force in the Northeast that could harm the rule of the Song Dynasty. Could it be that the Tatars were simply impossible? He heard that the Song Dynasty destroyed Liao, especially the Beizhubu tribes, which were closely related to the Song Dynasty, cheered thunder. Or was it the Ugu enemy? It was impossible. Under the pressure of the Liao Kingdom again, their strength was still very weak. Moreover, the Liao Kingdom also divided and governed them, resulting in constant revenge and killing each other. Perhaps a hero would gather these tribes together in the future, but the Song Dynasty continued to divide, and then there would not be that hero in this century. Or the Wei people in the North were unfriendly to the Song Dynasty, but their population base was too small.

But Song Jiu repeatedly said that the Northeast was full of crises.

If you don't pay attention, you can even crack again from the inside.

Then I talked about Silla again. When the Tang Dynasty made concessions, Silla supported the rebellion of the people within Goguryeo and forced the Tang Dynasty to retreat step by step. So Song Jiu drove all the people to Silla together. However, Song Jiu concluded that once Silla was appeased, he would ask the Song Dynasty for land north of the Datong River. This was a very vulgar nation, so Song Jiu deliberately divided the boundaries very clearly, and even drew out the boundaries on the sea. If this happens, the court must not give in. If one step is given, they will try to force the Song Dynasty to give in ten, hundreds, and thousands of steps... The Goryeo people are a good example. If that happens, there will be no meaning in using troops this year.

I have said a lot, including education, water conservancy, agriculture, people's livelihood, roads, commerce, mining, mainly ethnic affairs and military, and even the policies of how to deal with deserts.

In fact, it was a standard for Song Jiu to govern the Northeast after the Song Dynasty replaced the Song Dynasty. Although the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the same thing still said: the north is stable, the world is stable, the north is chaotic, and the world is chaotic.

The last thing is immigration.

The slogan of the court is Qi.

However, it is not that easy, because the north is still a tribal system. It depends on the fact that if the revenge is continuous and the living environment is harsh, the tribal system will be more reliable, such as the various tribals in the desert and the various barbarian tribes in the mountains in the south. However, the tribal system has brought many difficulties to the governance of the country. To put it as a good statement, it is actually a country.

With the development of naturalization and division of the Northeast, the prestige of the chiefs in the tribe will gradually decline. This is a good thing. The court must follow the flow and let this trend further form. But don't rush it.

Immigration, especially, is very important for the governance of Liaodong, but there will be conflicts due to the tribal system. Therefore, the previous migrants must be placed beside each city to protect the safety of the city. They are the link for economic and commercial development in the Northeast, and are also the center of governance and city defense, and then placed in barren areas to reduce unnecessary conflicts between migrants and various ethnic groups. When one day, immigrants and Han households become the mainstream and the prestige of the tribe leader of each ethnic group will further decline, so that the Northeast can become the real territory of the Song Dynasty.

Song Jiu did not talk about time. Although the Northeast had a great harvest and a great victory this year, the country also had a great harvest, so the number of immigrants was still only two or three thousand households, which was pitifully small.

After giving the instructions, Song Jiucai said that everyone is most concerned about. I am old and beg your Majesty to allow me to retire.

"After the matter, I will leave, and I will hide my merits and fame." Wang Dan sighed slightly.

Several ministers raised their heads and looked at Wang Dan with shameless eyes. Behind this sentence was that Wang Dan agreed to Song Jiu's resignation. But can Song Jiu not resignation be possible? Wang Qinruo said: "Your Majesty, with the merits of Song Gong, you can be named the prince."

He made many small moves behind his back.

However, Song Jiu went down, there was no need to do it anymore. This sentence was from the heart.

Song Jiu's contribution was too great. It was like a mountain that made everyone breathless, including Zhao Heng, who was faintly suppressed by Song Jiu's contribution. When he retreated, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Then why bother to make enemies with Song Jiu?

...

"Don't be afraid of spending money. If this matter succeeds, it will be of great significance. If you lack money, you can write to me. I will support your money." Song Jiu said.

Dozens of people stood by and listened quietly.

It is the medicinal material.

Changbai Mountain produces ginseng and deer antlers, but it is too bitter to pick ginseng customers.

Therefore, Song Jiu took out some money and set up several experimental sites in the Northeast since the previous year, trying to artificially plant zirabi, ginseng and other medicinal materials, and even domesticated sika deer.

Song Jiu, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, has a very fair view. He cannot write it down. It still has many defects. But he cannot be underestimated. Some diseases are still very effective in using traditional Chinese medicine. Before Western medicine technology developed, traditional Chinese medicine was still the mainstream of national medical means.

However, at this time, almost all Chinese medicines were collected from the mountains and there were no medicinal materials to grow, so medicinal materials were very expensive. When medicinal materials were expensive, people could not see a doctor, so all kinds of gods and ghosts were useful. They could not afford to treat the doctor, so they had to ask gods to help.

Song Jiu organized some people to give them money and even hired dozens of students from academies to guide the people to plant and domesticate. Once successful, it will not only create a way to get rich, but also make more people affordable.

This time is also long.

When the Goryeo War ended, Song Jiu visited all parts of the Northeast for the last time. But this time he was not so hurrying. He took Yuping, Pan Lianer and others and walked around and saw it. He thought it was a trip all the way, but this might be his last trip to Northeast.

Today I came to the foot of Changbai Mountain, where there was a medicine garden. Song Jiu said after seeing it.

After reading it, Song Jiu went to the depths of Changbaili again, visited the people of all races, and gradually arrived at Baichi.

"What a beautiful lake." Dashuang shouted.

It's like a gem.

Song Jiu was also relieved. At least this pearl of Changbai Mountain was entirely the territory of the Song Dynasty... This was also his own contribution.

However, I didn't stay for a long time, and the autumn became deeper. It was estimated that the imperial edicts of the court were about to arrive in Youzhou, so Song Jiu returned to Youzhou.

As he expected, it was indeed Zhang Qixian who took over. He also brought an edict, officially dividing Youzhou Road into two routes, one is Youzhou Road and the other is Changchun Road, but the latter's capital is in Shenzhou. Although it is also divided into two routes, in order to facilitate governance, Zhang Qixian still brought two routes of military, political and financial power. However, what Song Jiu expected, the court actually transferred Kou Zhun to the Yunzhou area.

Song Jiu was very happy when he heard this.

I wonder if Kou Zhun is happy or depressed in Yunzhou.

However, with Kou Zhun here, Yunzhong Road will continue to develop in the past few years.

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of trees, and a thousand years of trees, the country cannot be distinguished by the difficulties and eases of that period. As long as it is relaxed, a national crisis will occur immediately. However, because the two paths are the territory of the Liao Kingdom, the most difficult one is definitely the previous few years.

If Kou Zhun and Zhang Qixian stayed for another three or four years, then the north would have a good foundation.

At this point, Song Jiu had no worries anymore.

"Mr. Song, I didn't expect you to retreat like this." Zhang Qixian sighed. Speaking of which, Song Jiu is three years younger than Zhang Qixian.

"I'm satisfied, at least under my leadership, I destroyed three countries."

Zhang Qixian laughed.

He thought that Song Jiu was talking about Goryeo, Jiaozhi and Liao Kingdom. Jiaozhi was a little reluctant, and Goryeo was indeed destroyed. Now Silla and Goryeo are the masters of the two surnames. Liao Kingdom is even more destroyed.

In fact, Song Jiu said that there were three countries, not including Goryeo and Jiaozhi, one was Xixia and the other might be the Jin Kingdom. Not only did Goryeo and Jiaozhi not be destroyed, but they were destroyed. Can Song Jiu be considered a real country in his eyes?

At this point, the Song Dynasty was barely called the real Song Dynasty, or the Great Song Empire, with a territory ranging from less than three million square kilometers in history to nearly five million square kilometers today. If the bribery area is included, it also exceeds 10 million square kilometers. There are still many problems, such as the Hexi Corridor, such as Dali, Jiaozhi, and especially Jiaozhi immortal, it may be formed in Vietnam in the future.

However, there are perfect things in the world.

"Duke Song retreated, what are the plans for the future?"

"When I was young in Hezhong, my life was very hard, and I couldn't even marry a little lady I liked, so I longed for wealth. However, wealth has reached this point and it is already at its peak. People must learn to be content."

Zhang Qixian was a little ashamed. If he was content, there would be no widow.

"In fact, I will not retreat, nor will I have ambition. Without an enterprising spirit, I will not achieve success in the officialdom. Therefore, I plan to retreat and take my family around to relax. Although I have been to many places over the years, I am in a position and have a lot of pressure, and I have lived a very hard life. It is not material but spiritual suffering. I have to rest. Or in a few years, I will play a guest role in academy, and no one will gossip."

There is a prerequisite for this. Most of the retired senior officials of the Song Dynasty were placed in Luoyang because they were afraid that they would have an influence on the court. Therefore, Song Jiu said that he would travel everywhere and his influence would decline in a few years. If he did not go to Luoyang and continued to stay in Kaifeng, then it would be fine.

Zhang Qixian said a pity: "The court is planning to open the Sanbaiqu."

"I won't ask if I open Sanbaiqu. I'm old and will die one day, so I have to let go thoroughly."

However, Zhang Qixian suspected that once Song Jiu gave up his power, the court would not be afraid. However, does the court not rely on Song Jiu's knowledge and experience?

There is another premise. Zhao Heng suspected that he was not as serious as Zhao Kuangyi, so he often used his personnel until he died. Not only civil officials, but also military generals, which led to almost no staff in the Staff Office of the West Prefecture, because all the generals were in office.

Besides, Song Jiu.

"So my journey is far away. After you and I hand over, I will go to Guangnan with the sea boat to spend the winter. Spring is coming, and then to Hangzhou. Summer is coming. Maybe I will take my family back to Youzhou and play with you to have a companion. Where will your Majesty find me?"

"This is OK."

"Why not?"

A few days later, Song Jiuzhen took her family on the boat.

Zhang Qixian brought officials to the port to see him off.

Everyone said goodbye one by one, and the ship owner ordered the sailor to set sail. The huge sea ship quickly left the port with the northwest wind and became a small black dot in the sky.

At that time, the autumn wind was refreshing, the sky was high and the clouds were light...
