Chapter 168 Perpetual Calendar

Ouyang asked: "Now Your Majesty's reputation is naturally fine, but if Tong Guan changed, who will go to the West Road to supervise the army?"

"I plan to join the West Road to the East Road." Zhao Yu said: "General Han stated that the imperial ranks were insufficient. The East Road and the West Road were originally the defense of the Liao people. The logistics distribution of horses was given priority, while the West Road was the top priority, and nearly 500,000 imperial guards were stored. However, the borders of Song and Liao have been peaceful and harmonious for the past few decades. On the contrary, the Qinfeng Road, which has the least military and material allocation, has been continuously warfare." Zhao Yu said: "General Han's idea is to... be a corner. Qinfeng Road is now renamed the Northwest Army Road to one point. Hebei east and Hebei west is a point. The Yongxing Army Road in depth and in front of the Turk is one point. The Northwest Army Road is long. Once the Xixia people turn against each other, Yongxing Army Road and Tokyo can completely expel the Xixia people together with the Northwest Army Road. And we must be guarded against Tubo. This point can be entered into Xixia in the north and Tubo in the west, which is the most important thing."

Ouyang shook his head: "This empress doesn't understand. But in this way, Hebei's defense seems to be a little weak."

"General Han said that it would be fine if the Liao people did not come. Once they entered Hebei, the East Army of Hebei would slowly approach the west side of Yongxing Army Road to defend the enemy's westward expansion. After putting the Liao people into Hebei, the Yongxing Army Road would intercept and encircle them from the south to the north. At the same time, the Northwest Army Road would directly seize the Datong Prefecture. Such three forces could not only surround the invading enemy, but also take advantage of the opportunity to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun." Zhao Yu said: "But I see, General Han was too careful. Now there is no power to fight again within five years of Western Xia. The Liao and Jin battles are hot, and the worldly feud and the worldly feud has appeared, so it can be said that they will never stop. The Liao people are almost impossible to get in the minds of the Song Dynasty. During the Zhenghe period, the four elite troops of East, West, Yongxing, and Qin Feng attacked Xixia together. Under the internal defense void, no one even reported to attack Song. What's more, they are now in troubles with internal and external troubles."

Ouyang Xiaojing said: "Your Majesty, do you know too much?"

"Not much. I can see that this war is not enough. I can't do it without money. The northwest military road that opened my eyes, and the sandgua and several states, I thought it would be a big and big violence. But I didn't expect that when the merchants arrived, everyone in the local area had work, everyone had money to make money, and everyone had food to eat. The court could not do it, and the court mostly comforted them, and used money to appease them. The merchants could start businesses, let the locals work, and then work and exchange money for food. The locals naturally resisted the new court. Some even wanted to make trouble and extort the court more money and food, but they did not resist the merchants. In addition, the iron kite you captured and the people of the Proton Army lobbled, which was very peaceful. So I think that some things are better for merchants than for the court."

"Your Majesty is saying that merchants are pursuing profits. Just Song is good, and they will naturally make some plans for Song. Now the Northwest Military Road is a big market, not only with the Silk Road, but also with cheap labor, cheap land, and low taxes. The goods can be completely sold to the Song Dynasty. And doing business is the most important thing. If tribes come down to work, they naturally have to establish a good relationship with the tribe chiefs. The courts go to deal with it, and no matter how humble the courts are, they will mean oppression. But when merchants go to deal with it, they are all mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial."

Business entry is always more acceptable than military entry. The Central Plains have very good policies for ethnic minorities, but people may not be convinced. Businessmen are different. If your tribe doesn’t come, there will always be other tribes. They don’t care whether the nation is harmonious or not, they only care about whether there is money to make money.

"Well, I heard that you are already the honorary chairman of the Southeast Business Association. As a representative of businessmen, you know that these are naturally necessary." Zhao Yu said: "Some ministers said that they are worried that businessmen will be big. But I am not worried. Because I know that as long as you don't do anything randomly, it is just a matter of a word for merchants to sit big and small. Li Han wrote to me, saying that you have no ambitions and are not doubtful that loyalty and patriotism are not doubtful. I think so, those who are ambitious do not want to climb up, and your business market influence is the world of the Ou family if you enter the temple or even the cabinet again."

Ouyang forced a smile: "Your Majesty, don't make such a joke."

"I'm not kidding, I'm talking about the truth. It's great if you make friends with officials and ministers." Zhao Yu said: "Actually, you can't blame you for violating the order last time. After all, I'm in the deep palace. Even if the ministers in the temple know much about Xixia, Liao and Jin? By the way, I want to change the country's name to Xuanwu, what do you think?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I feel it's boring to change it. Why not give me a name for a thousand years."

"Oh? How do you say it?"

"The founding of the Song Dynasty was set at zero years. Now, the founding of the country for eighty years is based on the 80th year of the Song Dynasty. Then it will be passed down from generation to generation."

Zhao Yupinyi nodded: "It's interesting. These various year names have been used in the eighty years, but what are the real people remember? When I was a child, I heard that the year of Zhenghe was x, so I had to count it a few years ago. But directly speaking of the 64th year of the Song Dynasty, I could see it at a glance. If this matter is correct, I will issue an order to make the name of the ten thousand years."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Zhao Yu nodded: "Let's have dinner in the palace tonight." She was in a good mood. Ouyang had solved the key points one by one. Zhao Yu believed that Ouyang knew about the only Tong Guan incident that he had not mentioned. Isn't this just to let Ouyang convey his meaning? Why is it called Ouyang? The civil officials in the court were not very satisfied with Tong Guan. The people Tong Guan was originally acquainted with were either dead or demoted due to the change of the generations. The eunuchs were all washed by the inner palace. It was not appropriate to let him talk about it with a good relationship, which would make him even more suspicious. Ouyang was well-known and not well-known, but there was a title of editor-in-chief of the Royal Newspaper, who knew Tong Guan but was not familiar with him. Although he was a civil servant, he did not look down on Tong Guan. In addition, he had military achievements, Tong Guan would be a little polite.

...

Eating with the emperor is actually not a happy thing. If you are surrounded by Zhao Yu’s confidants, it would be fine, but there is still a pomp. And this meal wasted time. After only half of it, Ouyang could not sit still. Zhao Yu saw it and smiled, "I know that this emperor is not something that everyone can do, right? Especially the female emperor."

"Yes," Ouyang agreed and said, it was really not good. He was in the palace every day. The male emperor could play with women. The female emperor was not only reading official documents but also trying to fight the rest of the time. He was a county magistrate, but he was busy like a dog, and everything was always at a price. To be an official, he had to work hard, rely on wisdom, and courage to be promoted. When looking at the emperor, the sacrifice was freedom, loneliness and loneliness. The resentful woman in the deep palace? Ouyang shivered. Look again.

Zhao Yu doesn't have the slightest taste of a resentful woman. Now he is only energetic and ambitious. Ambition is not a derogatory term, especially for modern people. Ambition can be understood as having ideals and goals. In ancient times, there were not many such people. Most of the people who Ouyang saw were wandering with the days and rarely fighting for their destiny. The life trajectory left by his ancestors was repeated. Of course, since he came, many people have goals, and at least have a goal and motivation to make money.

Zhao Yu said: "Xiaoqing is about to get married, it's still time for you to regret it."

Ouyang hurriedly said: "If you say that to your Majesty, I already have a wife. This time I came to Tokyo to register for the Ministry of Personnel."

"Ah?" Zhao Yu asked in a daze, "Who?" Ouyang suddenly got married without any movement, which really scared Zhao Yu.

"Liang Hongyu, I went back to my hometown to visit my relatives. My uncle praised him so he matched him up. I thought that this uncle and Weichen's biological father were like that, and he had to listen to him, so he obeyed."

"Is that?" Zhao Yu shook his head lightly and said, "You are not me interfering, but I don't think your wife is a person who is a carefree helper."

"In fact, the Wei minister really couldn't stand the annoyance of the matchmaker, so he simply married Liang Hongyu."

"Aren't you afraid that Xiaoqing will be sad if you know?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, Xiaoqing and Weichen were not at all stable age. Today I love this and die, and tomorrow I can hang myself for that. I can't say I'm sad. Looking at Tokyo, there are many talented men with elegant temperament. Weichen can't beat the princess."

"Oh... you say you have no ambitions, you really have no ambitions." Zhao Yu had already thought that Ouyang had no demand for anything. Is there a conspiracy? I have seen it clearly recently. This person is still relatively indifferent. You can't live without money, but you don't need too much. It's better to have a little bit of power, and it doesn't matter if you don't. She and Ouyang seemed to have forgotten what happened that night. Ouyang forgot it was normal, it was just a night, and it was normal to be in a bar. Even if you meet him in the future, he would think that he was not born. However, Zhao Yu forgot it, the reason was much more complicated.

Ouyang changed the question and asked: "Your Majesty, who should this Princess Xiaoqing marry?"

Zhao Yu shook his head: "Because I have no children, Xiaoqing has a special status. She is neither royal blood, but she has a close relationship with me. Both Liao and Jin countries sent people to propose marriage. I am in a little trouble."

Political marriage is a good thing and a bad thing. A bad thing is that Xiaoqing has lost the right to pursue love. A good thing is that Xiaoqing will live a good life. According to the current point of view, the stronger Song is, the higher the status of Xiaoqing, which is a very realistic problem. As for women, when they get older, they know that finding someone who loves themselves is better than finding someone who loves them. What kind of love is pursuit, love is meteors and that...

Ouyang changed the topic again: "Your Majesty must feel bored, you can go out to the palace to tour and walk around. The Weishi Yangping University is a pillar of the Song Dynasty. You can also go to the Northwest Military Road. By the way, this July is another Song Dynasty Cuju competition. Not only will the Song Dynasty states register, but people will also send people to participate in the Liao, Jin and Dali."

"Go to your place? Wouldn't it disturb the place too much?" Zhao Yu said slowly: "Two years ago, someone said that he had nothing to do and came to cause trouble."

"How did this... come to Your Majesty's ears?" Ouyang despised Eunuch Ninth. This person was one of the most likely people to inform. Ouyang said: "This time it's different. There is a Jinzun Hotel in Yangping, and there are four luxury villas in the suburbs. Although it is not as good as Your Majesty's palace, it is always more comfortable than the county government's renovation."
