Chapter 1,492 Drought

Bingyin, Khotan and other countries in the Western Regions brought in lions, white camels, famous horses, and beautiful jade.

Khotan now borders the Song Dynasty, and Chaogu repelled the Black Khan army who came to provoke them, and captured the opponent's general, so Khotan's waist immediately became hardened.

The Yuchi family launched a coup to restore the country, made Yuchiwei the leader of the country, re-declared Buddhism as the state religion, and invited eminent monks who translated scriptures in Dunhuang to give lectures.

Encouraged, the once-conquered small countries in the traditional Buddhist areas around Khotan rebelled against the Black Khan and sent envoys to pay tribute, hoping to become protected countries of the Song Dynasty.

In Yihai, Shangshu Youpushe and Zhongshu's assistant Han Zhen saw that the situation was getting worse. In order to protect himself and to avenge Cai Quexingshu's arrogance, he broke a big story.

Cai Que conspired with Zhang Dun, Xing Shu and others to frame the Empress Dowager, claiming that he had a definite plan!

In front of the curtain were Chen Que and other treacherous reports, so that the inner court and the outer court knew about it.

The Censor's Office immediately started writing letters again.

Liu Zhi said: "The prime minister, Cai Que, returned from Shanling, so he must take the blame and impeach himself; but he did not care about his integrity, fearing that he would lose his title, and stayed on his own for no reason. Fu Wang made a wise decision early and stopped to confirm the political affairs, so as to clarify the national constitution."

"He also said: "Yesterday, I really waited for Qin En to transfer to the official position, and the bachelor's degree was correct. It was said that he was the only one who made the decision. On the day when he was appointed, all those who knew him knew his fault, and Yan Ran accepted it."

"It is true that he and Zhang Dun have consolidated their friendship. Ever since His Majesty appointed Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhi, he has not been willing to do anything convenient. Therefore, the internal yang of the internal yang is harmony, while the yin makes Dun unruly and powerful externally, bullying and suppressing harm."

"If both China and foreign countries think that it is true and don't give up, then kindness will not be able to stand on its own, and the world will never be blessed with kindness."

Bingzi, Zhu Guangting reported: "Cai Que, Zhang Dun, and Han Zhen should be ordered to handle the affairs; Sima Guang, Su You, and Fan Chunren should be appointed as prime ministers and assistants; Han Wei should be appointed as secretaries."

"Remove the three traitors from the outside and clean up hundreds of people, bring in the four sages inside and praise tens of thousands of people. The wind of peace has begun since then."

The storm was about to come, but Gao Taotao ignored it. He neither expressed his attitude nor ordered an investigation.

Ding Chou dismissed the imperial scholar and retained the same crime law. He set aside the courtyard in the west of Houyuan to be used as a prison for the generals as a stockyard. He dismissed the money-casting prison and had four prisons.

Fan Chunren, who was waiting for the order in Tianzhang Pavilion, was given as a gift.

Also in this month, Niu Wenshu and Li Yong received a banquet from Yelu Hongji in Wuquan County. Yelu Hongji made a great contribution to the peace talks with Niu Wenshu, added three envoys, and still knew the Minister of Hubu.

Still this month, Gao Taotao secretly regretted not following Su You's advice and not planning the harem construction better in order to save money.

Su Shi arrived in Beijing and boarded Su You's small yacht Feiyu halfway.

The Feiyu has been staying in Hangzhou, and this time it was "borrowed" by Zhao Zongyou on the 21st to return to Bianjing to report on his work.

The Dongshengzhou fleet is back! Stationed in Hangzhou!

The Songshan, Taishan, Left-handed Snail, Luminous Snail, and five Kuizhou-type ships brought back gold and silver worth fifty million dollars from Yushu City!

Fifty million strings!

According to the agreement, half of the proceeds will go to the imperial court and go to the Nancao Treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and half will go to the original Sitong Trading Company, which now belongs to Sitong Investment Bureau.

Emperor Zhao Song's name in Sitong Investment Bureau accounted for more than half of the shares. In other words, among the gold and silver brought back from this trip, more than 10 million yuan belonged to the private money of Zhao Xu, who was just eleven years old.

However, a child's private money has one thing in common, which is that it will always be in the custody of kind parents. For a nobleman like Gao Taotao who grew up in the palace, his hands could not help but tremble slightly when he received the telegram sent from the telegraph room in the palace.

.

This is a golden route.

The Military Aircraft Department immediately sent a report to Zhang, requesting to strengthen control over Japan's Songcheng, which is an important starting point for the ocean circulation route.

If all these gold and silver were put into the market at once, there would definitely be problems. Therefore, Su Youzhu requested that they be deposited in the vault of the Huangsong Bank as a reserve for the issuance of national currency.

In this way, the national currency reserve can be stored in gold and silver, and the copper ban can be lifted.

This inspection was much more detailed than the one conducted by Bian Gu and the others. In addition to gold and silver, there were also various products, including rubber.

Zhao Zongyou also brought back several natives from tribes and city-states to stand among the barbarians outside Xuande Gate at the New Year's Day gathering.

After half a year of investigation, the people of Song Dynasty figured out the distribution of forces around Yushu City, which was an incredibly large continent.

Fifteen hundred people established five military states in Wenhua, Jiafu, Jinshan, Yushu, and Tanshan respectively, and began to build cities and farm fields.

Sifeng Island was abandoned by Zhao Zongyou because it was too cold in winter.

Because the name of Kafu City was too unpleasant, Zhao Zongyou ruthlessly deprived it of the right to name the flat can.

Don't worry about encountering enemies, because the enemies there are too weak.

Among them, Wenhua, Jiafu, and Tanshan will be the supply and rest areas for the fleet in the future, and Jinshan and Yushu will be the main mineral development areas.

Sima Guang felt that he could no longer keep up with the times.

The Chinese people have struggled for thousands of years to solve the problem of people's livelihood in this troubled land.

Since the time of Dayu, the Yellow River has been regulated, turning swamps into rice fields and mountains into terraces.

In order to get a mouthful of food, the Chinese people worked a hundred times harder, dug thousands of miles of canals, dug countless ditches, and built countless water conservancy projects!

However, there are oil fields in the South China Sea that are spewing oil. There are high-grade tin ores, iron ores, and coal mines that are found on the surface. There are veins in Dongsheng Prefecture that contain half of the silver.

Nanhai has land with six harvests a year! Dongsheng Prefecture has a yield of 700 kilograms of grain per mu!

The Chinese people were able to create such a glorious civilization even though it was so difficult. They were so blessed by nature and should have just won. How dare they be so lazy and still beat each other with stone tools and wooden sticks?!

Su You didn't have any resentment about this, and even complimented Sima Guang: "Because they don't use logs as pillows, and they get up earlier than a chicken and sleep later than a dog every day..."

Sima Guang's face flushed: "Mingrun, what are you causing trouble again?!"

Su You said: "Sima Gong, you have a little food and a lot of things. With your wisdom, it is inevitable. It is almost the end of the year. When it is time to take a good rest, take a good rest."

Sima Guang disagreed: "It's a matter of life and death. How can the king tolerate slacking off? By the way, you have to pay attention to the etiquette of the court meeting. If Duke Wen and Duke Jiefu are not in the court, you will be the first among the courtiers."

Su You then realized that according to his official position, he was now the highest among the court officials and the first person under the clan: "Oh, what can we do?"

"What do you mean?"

"The first person on duty, I can't do it?"

"Don't you have a clan brother? Let him teach you."

Su You was so frightened that his heart was beating wildly: "How about I be transferred to the right class like Bian Gu?"

Not to mention Sima Guang fell backwards in anger, even Mr. Lu was so angry that he puffed his beard and stared: "How dare you! I have never had a right-class minister in my court, how dare you change me to the right class!"

This almost makes it clear that you, Mingrun, will be the next prime minister.

Su You was still a little panicked: "How about... I call you sick?"

"Nonsense!" Sima Guang was so well-mannered that he couldn't help but want to curse: "Are you so afraid of the Great Chaoyi? Yesterday I asked His Majesty, and Your Majesty assured me that he will do a good job when the time comes!"

Zhao Xu?! You were cruelly dragged out to behave like a human being at the age of eleven, and you still have the nerve to say anything?

However, Su You finally couldn't bear the thought of Zhao Xu being all alone on the stage. With him at the bottom, at least Zhao Xu would feel better: "Then I'll go ask my elder brother."

Lu Gongzhu said: "Since there has been no snow this winter, Mingrun has been talking about the catastrophe..."

Su You said: "This is indeed a problem. I also want to inform Mr. Lu that according to the meteorological data, there may be a drought in the north of our country in the coming spring."

"The departments that fought against floods in the Song Dynasty included the Capital Water Department and the River Canal Department. However, they had no power to manage droughts."

"To put it bluntly, they wish there would be drought every year and never rain, so that they would never have the pressure of river conditions."

Mr. Lu was very angry: "Mingrun, what are you talking about?!"

Su You spread his hands: "Although the words are ugly, in terms of his duties and functions, it is indeed the case? Therefore, I think there should be a department in the DPRK that is responsible for collecting meteorological data and preventing floods and droughts."

"Leave it to Dushui River. They proceed from their responsibilities. It's normal to worry about heavy rains rather than light rains. Just scolding them is useless."
